NEWS RELEASE
3 September 2021 For Immediate Release
NOMINATIONS DOCUMENTS READY FOR FONTERRA BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ ELECTION
Nominations for the Fonterra Board of Directors’ Election open on Friday, 3 September with an
election to be held for three farmer-elected Directors.
This year Peter McBride, Leonie Guiney and John Nicholls retire by rotation, and have confirmed that
they will be standing for re-election.
The Independent Assessment Process will be run first with a nomination period of 3 - 17 September
2021. The Independently Assessed Candidates will be rigorously assessed by an Independent
Selection Panel of three highly respected governance experts. This year, the Panel comprises Tony
Carter (Chair of My Food Bag, TR Group and Datacom Group), Joan Withers (Chair of The
Warehouse Group) and Rob Campbell (Chair of Skycity Entertainment Group, Tourism Holdings, NZ
Rural Land, Ara Ake and WEL Networks). Their role is to shortlist and recommend the best
candidates to Fonterra’s shareholders.
The Returning Officer will announce the Independent Assessment Process candidates on Monday,
18 October 2021.
The Non-Assessment Process, where farmers can put themselves forward as a candidate for the
Board outside the Independent Assessment Process, will follow with the nomination period running
from 18 - 28 October 2021.
The Returning Officer will confirm all Directors’ Election candidates on Friday, 29 October 2021.
The Director Election will be held using the first past the post system via postal and online voting by
Fonterra shareholders.
The Independent Selection Panel search brief along with the Candidate Handbook are now available
from the Returning Officer, Warwick Lampp, from electionz.com. These documents provide
prospective Director candidates with information on all aspects of the Election process including
details of the skills and attributes that the Board is looking for in 2021.
Nominations for the Fonterra Co-operative Council and the Directors’ Remuneration Committee
Elections will be called for on Tuesday, 12 October, and close at 12 noon on Thursday, 28 October.
Fonterra shareholders are eligible to stand in the Fonterra Elections. Candidates must satisfy
eligibility requirements to be elected and further procedural requirements are specified in the Election
rules and the Candidate Handbooks.
