NZX RELEASE

Ryman Healthcare recommends appointment of PwC as External
Auditor
Ryman released its External Auditor Independence Policy in December 2023 providing
guidance on the appointment and independence of the external auditor.
The Policy requires the tendering and formal assessment of the external auditor at least
every 10 years.
The Company’s current auditor, Deloitte, has been Ryman’s auditor since listing on the
NZX in 1999, a total of 25 years. Deloitte has worked constructively with the Company as
its auditor since this time.
In accordance with the External Auditor Independence Policy, the Company carried out
a tender process overseen by Ryman’s Audit, Finance and Risk Committee. Following a
careful review and consideration of the responses, the Committee recommended to the
Board that PwC Auckland was the most suitable appointment as the external auditor.
The Board has today agreed with the recommendation of the Audit, Finance, and Risk
Committee and will seek approval of the shareholders at the Annual Meeting on 1 August
2024 to the appointment of PwC as auditor for the financial year commencing 1 April 2024.
Dean Hamilton, Executive Chair at Ryman said: “The decision to recommend a change of
auditor in no way reflects the performance of Deloitte, or the services that they have
provided to Ryman. Ryman would like to thank Deloitte for the service they’ve given the
Company during their tenure.”
