The Board of New Zealand King Salmon Investments Limited (NZX and ASX: NZK) wishes to

Commenting on Mr Dewdney’s appointment to the Board, outgoing NZKS Chair John Ryder
said, “The Board would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mr Dewdney to the Board.
Mr Dewdney brings extensive governance experience, commercial and operational
experience to the role, particularly in the primary sector. He has a strong background in
agribusiness, international sales and distribution, manufacturing, and supply chain
industries. Having had 25 years in management roles both in New Zealand and Asia, in 2017
he decided to commit to a future path in governance.”
Mr Dewdney has held management positions with a range of companies, including Tatua
Dairy Co-operative, the NZ Dairy Group and Fonterra, where he progressed to MD for
Fonterra Ingredients in Asia. From there he moved into his first CEO position with the
Livestock Improvement Corporation, before becoming CEO for PGG Wrightson in 2013.
Mr Dewdney is currently a Director of The Tatua Dairy Co-operative and Chair of Hop
Revolution Limited and Maririe General Partner Limited.
Mr Dewdney will seek shareholder confirmation of his appointment by election at the
company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in June 2024. The NZKS Board has determined that
Mr Dewdney meets the criteria and qualifies as an independent director.
