Changes to the Kiwi Property Board


Kiwi Property today advised that its chair, Mark Ford, has resigned from the company’s
board of directors, with effect from its 2023 annual shareholder meeting, when he is due
to stand for re-election. He will be succeeded by current director, Simon Shakesheff.

Mr. Ford has been chair of Kiwi Property since 2011 (then known as Kiwi Income Property
Trust) during which time he has overseen many of its most significant strategic initiatives,
including the company’s internalisation, the delivery of ASB North Wharf and the
acquisition of a 50% interest in The Base.

Mr. Shakesheff said “Mark has made a remarkable contribution to Kiwi Property over
more than a decade. Under his stewardship, the company has evolved from a retail
and office landlord into a creator of connected mixed-use communities. This is already
clearly apparent at Sylvia Park, with assets such as LynnMall and Drury set to follow suit.

“Mark has been a staunch advocate for our shareholders’ interests and championed
the highest standards of corporate governance. In typical fashion, he has consciously
aligned his retirement and upcoming re-election, and flagged the decision early, to
ensure a smooth transition. I look forward to building on his substantial legacy, as we
strive to take the company to the next level.”

Mr. Ford said: “Kiwi Property is a fantastic business and I’m proud of what we have
achieved. I’m confident Simon will be an excellent chair and am pleased to be passing
the baton to such a capable successor.

“He is an excellent director, with deep property, finance and transaction experience.
This skill set, coupled with his international perspective, will position Simon strongly to
lead the board as Kiwi Property navigates the current volatile economic climate and
prepares itself to take advantage of the opportunities that will follow.”

The recruitment process for a new Kiwi Property director will commence immediately,
with an announcement regarding the successful candidate to be made in due course.
