The a2 Milk Company (a2MC, the Company) advises that Antonio (Tonet) Rivera has been appointed as an

independent non-executive director of the Company with effect from 1 November 2024.


Mr Rivera has over 35 years of supply chain experience, including 17 years of international leadership experience.


Mr Rivera worked for Mead Johnson Nutrition from 2002 to 2017, culminating in four years leading the global supply

Tonet had responsibility for all supply chain operations globally, including manufacturing, engineering, procurement,

supply planning and physical distribution. Prior to that, he served as Vice President, Supply Chain – Asia and Europe

for more than a decade, with responsibility for Supply Chain operations in Europe and Asia, including owned

Since retiring from executive roles in 2017, when Mead Johnson Nutrition was acquired by Reckitt Benckiser Group

The Board has determined that Mr Rivera will be an independent director. A resolution to elect Mr Rivera will be put

to shareholders at the Company's upcoming annual meeting on 22 November 2024. The venue, time and other

meeting.


Chair of the Board, Pip Greenwood, said: "We are very pleased to appoint Tonet as a director of the Company. Tonet

is a highly capable individual with deep expertise and experience gained over many years as a supply chain leader,

including leading the global supply chain of a multinational infant nutrition company.”


The Company also advises that Warwick Every-Burns will be retiring from the Board effective at the upcoming annual

meeting and accordingly will not be standing for re-election. Warwick’s significant service and contribution to a2MC

will be acknowledged at the meeting to be held in Auckland on Friday, 22 November 2024.
