HAMILTON, Bermuda--()--The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited ("Butterfield" or the "Bank") (BSX: NTB.BH)(NYSE: NTB) today announced that Daniel Frumkin, Group Chief Operating Officer, has informed the Bank of his decision to step down from his post, effective immediately. Mr. Frumkin has agreed to continue to be available to the Bank’s senior management to ensure a seamless transition.

As a result of this departure, Michael Neff, Managing Director Bermuda, will lead the Company’s international trust business and Richard Saunders, Managing Director Channel Islands, will assume responsibility for international corporate banking. Michael McWatt, Managing Director Cayman Islands, will manage operations for Bermuda and Cayman. Finally, Michael Schrum, Group Chief Financial Officer, will oversee corporate development and information technology.

We are grateful for his significant contributions during his tenure with the Bank. Since joining Butterfield in 2010, Dan has concentrated his considerable abilities initially on the restructuring of loan and investment assets and later on our initial public offering in 2016. Most recently, he has focused his efforts on corporate development through acquisitions. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Dan for his many contributions and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
