The Company today announces that Gordon Marr, 62, has notified the Board of his intention to retire by the end of 2021, after over three decades with the Company and 8 years as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") . The Nominations Committee, chaired by Graeme Easton, has initiated a search process to find a new CEO.

Gordon will continue to lead the Company and drive its strategic initiatives and operating plans, fully supported by the executive team and the Board, until the appointment of a successor, and will then facilitate an orderly handover to the appointed successor.

Gordon Marr said:

"This is an exciting time for the Company, as we pursue our strategic initiatives and prepare for further growth. Looking ahead to the next long-term phase of growth, I have decided to announce my retirement plans now, providing ample time to identify a successor and ensure a smooth transition. I am committed to leading the Company in the meantime, as we remain resolutely focused on delivering a solid performance in 2021, while positioning the Company for further success in the future."

"On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Gordon for his professional and personal commitment and dedication to the Company.
