NZX/ASX Market Release
Retirement of independent non-executive director - Peter Hinton
Appointment of new independent non-executive director - Pip Greenwood
The a2 Milk Company Limited advises that Peter Hinton will be retiring from
the Board at the end of the financial year on 30 June, as foreshadowed at the
Company's 2018 Annual Meeting.
David Hearn, Chair of the Board, said of Peter's retirement, "We would like
to thank Peter for his exceptional and longstanding commitment to the a2
Milk(TM) business, originally as advisor to and partner of Dr Corran
McLachlan, the Company's founder, and subsequently as an adviser and director
of the Company. We wish Peter all the best as he pursues interests outside
of The a2 Milk Company and corporate governance roles."
The Company is pleased to advise that Pip Greenwood will be appointed as an
independent non-executive director of the Company with effect from 1 July
2019.
Pip is a director on the boards of Westpac New Zealand, Spark New Zealand and
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. She was previously a senior partner at law firm
Russell McVeagh, where she spent over ten years on the firm's board including
acting as the firm's board Chair and interim CEO. A leader in the field of
corporate law and in the New Zealand business community, Pip is also known
for her work promoting greater diversity in the workplace. She is the
recipient of numerous industry awards including last year being named New
Zealand Dealmaker of the Year at the Australasian Law Awards 2018, the only
person to have won this accolade five times, and has twice been recognised as
a finalist at the Women of Influence Awards.
David Hearn said of Pip's appointment, "We are delighted to have a person of
Pip's considerable talent and experience join the Board."
The Board has determined that Ms Greenwood will be an independent director.
A resolution to elect Ms Greenwood will be put to shareholders at the
Company's next annual meeting in November 2019.
