Chairman to retire

AUCKLAND, 4 December 2017: NZME Limited (NZX: NZM, ASX: NZM) (“NZME”) advises
that it has today received notice that Sir John Anderson will retire from the Board of NZME with
effect 8 December 2017.

Independent Director Peter Cullinane, on behalf of the Board, thanked Sir John Anderson for
his invaluable contribution to NZME, including leading the Board through the demerger of NZME
from HT&E Limited (previous APN News & Media) and listing on the NZX.

“Sir John has made a significant contribution over a long period to the growth of businesses in
New Zealand. The Chairman’s extensive business and governance experience has been an asset
to the Company during NZME’s first year as a listed company and all of us at NZME wish Sir
John the very best for his retirement,” said Mr Cullinane.

CEO Michael Boggs said, “The NZME management team and I have benefitted enormously from
Sir John’s wise counsel and steady hand during a period of substantial change in our first year
as a listed company.”

As previously advised, NZME has a Board renewal process underway, with the appointment of
an additional independent director to be confirmed by the Board prior to the effective date of
Sir John’s retirement. The Board is expected to appoint a Chair in the coming days and the
market will be advised at the time.
