Vista Group Board welcomes new Independent Director and farewells
Founding Director

Vista Group International Limited (NZX & ASX:VGL) is pleased to announce the appointment of
Claudia Batten as an Independent Non-Executive Director with effect from 1 January 2021.
Claudia is a highly successful entrepreneur with considerable international digital and technology
experience. Claudia was a founding member of US company Massive Inc, a network for
advertising in video games, acquired by Microsoft in 2016, and a cofounder of Victor & Spoils, the
first advertising agency built on crowdsourcing pri nciples, acquired by Havas Worldwide in 2011.
Claudia has significant public company and governance experience, including as the current
Chair of NZX listed digital travel company Serko Limited, and as Digital Adviser to the Board of
Westpac New Zealand.
Claudia has a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) and Commerce from Victoria University of Wellington,
New Zealand.
As previously notified to the market, and in conjunction with Claudia Batten joining the Board, Co-
founder and Director Brian Cadzow has advised the Board that, in order to facilitate the market’s
desire for the Board to have a majority of Independent Directors, he will retire as a Director at the
end of March 2021. Brian remains a significant shareholder in Vista Group, with a stake of more
than 3% of the shares on issue.
Vista Group Chair, Kirk Senior, said: “We are very excited to have Claudia joining the Board.
Claudia’s significant international experience particularly across data, new media and technology
will be hugely beneficial to Vista Group as we move Vista Cinema into a cloud/SaaS environment
and as Movio plays an ever-increasing role in data and new media opportunities.”
“I would also like to acknowledge and thank Brian Cadzow for the enormous contribution he has
made over his 20+ years with Vista Group, including before and after Vista Group’s initial public
offering. One of the founding shareholders, Brian was a key driver in Vista Group’s successful
IPO in 2014 and as an Executive Director since then has been instrumental in making Vista
Group what it is today.”
“Brian announced when he stood for re-election at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting earlier this
year that this would be his last term as the Board moved to achieve a majority of Independent
Directors, and with Claudia joining as a Director he has advised that early next year is an
appropriate time for him to step down from the Board.”
