21 August 2018 – Rubicon’s Chairman, Dave Knott, announced the appointment of Paul Smart to the
Rubicon Board as an Independent Director under the NZX Listing Rules.
Mr Knott said “Paul is New Zealand based, with a broad background in growth companies in both the
public and private markets, and extensive experience in all aspects of finance across a wide range of
industries. He has operated at both senior management and non-executive board levels throughout
his career, with a focus on growing successful companies in the broad technology and energy fields.
His prior management positions have included CFO of Meridian Energy and CFO of Sky Television. He
has previously held non-executive Director and/or Chairman roles in Arc Innovations, NZPM Group,
and Southern Hydro (Melbourne) amongst others, and he is currently a non-executive Director of
Solarcity, InterCity Holdings, Mercer Group, Argus Group and Geo40. He is a chartered accountant by
background, and a member of the NZ Institute of Directors. We are pleased to have Paul join the Board
at this exciting time of the Company’s life, and we believe he will add considerable value to our
decision-making as we move forward.”
Separately, Mr Knott said that Rubicon had recently undertaken a competitive tender process in
connection with the supply of audit services to the company, and that as a result of the assessment of
proposals, the Board has selected Deloitte to provide audit services to the company in the future.
KPMG has resigned as the company’s auditor with effect from today, and the Board has formally
appointed Deloitte as the Company’s new auditor. Deloitte will perform the audit of the FY’19 Rubicon
financial statements. “The Board would like to thank KPMG for their commitment and service, which
has been provided to the Company since Rubicon’s inception” he said.
