Changes at NZX Board

Changes at NZX Board

20 March 2022 – The NZX Board today announced it has withdrawn its endorsement of Rob Hamilton as
Chair Elect of the NZX.

Following the announcement of the AUSTRAC proceedings against SkyCity Adelaide in December 2022,
the NZX Board has considered Mr Hamilton’s position. After careful consideration, the Board has
determined that, in the interests of NZX and noting its position as the operator of New Zealand’s capital
markets, it can no longer endorse Mr Hamilton as proposed Chair while the proceedings remain
unresolved.

As a result of Mr Hamilton no longer being the proposed successor to the Chair, Mr Hamilton has
resigned as an NZX Director with immediate effect to help NZX move forward without any distractions
relating to this matter.

Mr Hamilton is a former SkyCity Chief Financial Officer.

James Miller, who was due to retire at the annual shareholder meeting in April, has responsibly agreed to
continue in the role as NZX Chair until a new Chair is appointed.
