Air New Zealand updates on Director retirements

Long serving Air New Zealand Directors Rob Jager (ONZM) and Linda Jenkinson have advised the Chairman they will retire from the Air New Zealand Board at this year's Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM) to be held in the last quarter of calendar 2021. Chairman Dame Therese Walsh said Rob has served the airline for three terms and consequently will not seek re-election at this year's ASM. "Rob has been an excellent Director and made a significant contribution to the Board. His leadership as Chairman of the Board's Health, Safety and Security Committee will leave a lasting legacy for Air New Zealand". Linda Jenkinson has been a Director for almost three terms and had previously indicated that 2021 could be her last year of service due to increasing professional commitments in New Zealand and overseas. "Linda has been an important part of the Air New Zealand Board for many years, bringing an invaluable global perspective and technology insight to the table. In her future endeavours, Linda aims to share these perspectives more widely across Aotearoa as well as focus on her latest global technology venture 'Level Up'." Dame Therese thanked Rob and Linda for their commitment over many years but especially during the last 15 months as they worked collectively with fellow Directors, the Executive and other company leaders as the airline responded to Covid-19. In due course, Air New Zealand will advise replacement Directors for Rob Jager, Linda Jenkinson and Jan Dawson who announced in July 2020 her plan to retire at this year's ASM. This announcement is made pursuant to Listing Rule 3.20.1. Ends End CA:00374587 For:AIR Type:GENERAL Time:2021-06-28 09:00:06
