Market Release

Bruce Hassall withdraws from Vector Board
election

Bruce Hassall has withdrawn his nomination for election to the Vector Board in advance of
this week’s Vector annual shareholder meeting.
Mr Hassall has reached this decision after recent feedback from some Vector shareholders
given his previous role as chair of Fletcher Building.
Vector Chair Doug McKay expressed disappointment on behalf of the board as Mr Hassall
has made a significant contribution to the board since joining last October and his nomination
for election had the unanimous support of his board colleagues. Mr McKay said that Vector
nominated Mr Hassall because of his deep commercial experience, health and safety
knowledge, customer focus and understanding of technology and organisation
transformation.
Mr Hassall said his decision was the right thing to do and wishes Vector the best for the
future as it navigates the complexities of the energy transition.
