Serko Announces Appointment of New Director

Serko Limited (NZX/ASX:SKO), a leader in online travel booking and expense management technology, is
pleased to announce the appointment of Jan Dawson as an independent director on the Board. She will replace
Simon Botherway, who is standing down from the Board at the conclusion of Serko’s Annual Meeting, to be
held on 18 August 2021. Ms Dawson’s appointment will take effect from the conclusion of the 2021 Annual
Meeting.
Ms Dawson is currently Chair of Westpac New Zealand, Deputy Chair of Air New Zealand and an independent
director for AIG New Zealand and Meridian Energy. Ms Dawson has indicated that she is stepping down from
both the Air New Zealand and Westpac Boards lat er this year.
Ms Dawson said: “I’m excited to be able to contribute to the governance of Serko during a pivotal period in the
Company’s history. Serko presents substantial innovative promise for New Zealand and the travel industry more
broadly. I have been watching the company with interest for many years and it feels like an excellent time to
bring my experience to the Company as it scales internationally.”
Serko Chair, Claudia Batten, said: “The Serko Board has been reviewing its composition and succession planning
for some time and is delighted Jan has agreed to join the Board. Jan’s appointment, with her extensive
governance experience and true passion for building great companies, will support the Company through its
next phase of growth. As part of our succession planning, we have been working carefully towards an
appointment that would ensure the Board added deep governance and financial experience at the highest level.
To attract someone of Jan’s calibre and expertise is a game changer for us. Ms Dawson will take over as Chair of
the Audit and Risk Committee following Mr Botherway’s retirement.”
The Board has determined that Ms Dawson is an independent director for the purposes of the NZX Listing
Rules.
