NZK - NEW ZEALAND KING SALMON INVESTMENTS LIMITED – Appointment of Director

The Board of New Zealand King Salmon Investments Limited (NZX and ASX: NZK) wishes to advise that Vicky Taylor has been appointed as an independent director.

Commenting on Ms Taylor’s appointment to the Board, NZKS Chair John Ryder said, “Ms Taylor brings extensive governance experience to the role, ranging from government appointments to NZX listed companies.” Many of those appointments have included engagement across a time of great business development, which we feel will be a useful addition to the NZK Board. Ms Taylor also has more than 20 years executive experience in FMCG across a variety of categories, both in New Zealand and Australia and into a range of export markets. Ms Taylor is a past director of VTNZ, Landcare Research, Toitu Envirocare (then CaronZero), Real NZ (then Real Journeys) and Restaurant Brands. She is currently a Board member on AsureQuality, and chair of privately owned businesses.

Ms Taylor is an Accredited member of the Institute of Directors, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from the University of Canterbury, and has completed post graduate studies in Management and Leadership.

Ms Taylor will seek shareholder confirmation of her appointment by election at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in June 2022. The NZKS Board has determined that Vicky meets the criteria and qualifies as an independent director.
