Carol Campbell is an experienced company director who has a sound understanding of efficient board

governance and extensive financial experience. Carol is a director and Chair of the Audit and Risk

committees of Barramundi and Marlin Global, and Chair of the Audit and Risk committee of Kingfish.

Carol also holds a number of directorships across a broad spectrum of companies including T&G

Director Tenure

Carol Campbell has been a Kingfish director for just over twelve years, having joined the Kingfish

to bringing an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board, act in the best interests of

the Company and to represent the interests of shareholders generally. The board wishes to retain her

institutional knowledge, having already appointed two new directors (as part of the board’s succession

planning) in the previous three years. The board therefore unanimously supports her re-election.

express direction (subject to any voting prohibitions), and any discretion

granted on how to vote will be voted in favour of the relevant resolution.

Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote or give the proxy discretion as to how to vote on

the resolutions by completing FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN or PROXY DISCRETION

box in ‘Step 2’ overleaf. If the form is returned without a direction as to how the

proxy shall act on a resolution the proxy will exercise the proxy’s discretion as to

whether to vote and, if so, how.
