Sandra McPhee has been a director of Kathmandu since the company’s Initial Public Offering in 2009.

Chairman David Kirk commented:

“We thank Sandra for the enormous contribution she has made as a member of the Board over the last ten

experience and knowledge of a wide range of consumer facing sectors to the board. Her insight and
judgement have been extremely beneficial for the Company.”

The new director joining the board is Andrea Martens who was identified after an extensive search

Andrea has substantial executive leadership experience having spent over 20 years working with some of the
world’s best known-brands and organisations. She is currently the CEO of ADMA, the peak body for data-

Australia and New Zealand. Andrea has previously held positions on the board of Unilever Australia and New
Zealand, Deputy Chair of the Australian Association of National Advertisers and as a Board Member of the
Advertising Standards Bureau.

A Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and named as one of the top 50 CMOs in Australia
by CMO Magazine, Andrea is also a passionate mentor, guiding emerging marketing leaders at The Marketing
Academy Australia and as a Member of the Wellbeing Reference Group for Pymble Ladies’ College in
Sydney.

David Kirk commented:

“We are very pleased that Andrea has agreed to join the board. She brings first rate experience and
knowledge of consumer brand strategies. Her appointment adds important skills and experience to the board
as we continue to implement our Australian and global growth strategies. “

As required by the Company’s constitution and the NZX Listing Rules, Ms. Martens will hold office until the
Company’s next annual meeting on 22 November 2019, at which time she will resign and stand for election.
