Non-executive director appointment and retirement

 

Premier Foods is pleased to announce the appointment of Malcolm Waugh, as an
independent non-executive director of the Company, with effect from the Annual
General Meeting on 18 July 2024 (the '2024 AGM').

 

Malcolm has over 35 years' experience in commercial, operational and
leadership roles, working in a range of international markets, supplying value
added products in the packaging, food and drink and other FMCG sectors. He has
been CEO of Frugalpac™, since July 2018, overseeing the business as it
industrialises and commercialises its low carbon packaging products against
its defined strategies. Malcolm previously spent 11 years at Essentra PLC, the
last 6 years of which were as Managing Director and Group Commercial
Director.  Prior to that he was Tetra Pak's Commercial Director for the UK
and Ireland for 15 years.

 

Colin Day, Group Chair said:

"I am delighted that Malcolm will be joining the Board. He brings with him a
wealth of highly relevant commercial, strategic, and operational experience
from the food and drink industry with a particular focus on packaging in both
the UK and international markets. I welcome him to the Board as we continue to
pursue our branded growth strategy and path to further value creation."

 

Non-executive director retirement

Premier Foods also announces that, Richard Hodgson, having served on the Board
since January 2015, and as Senior Independent Director since May 2019, will be
retiring as a non-executive director with effect from the conclusion of the
Company's 2024 AGM. Following his retirement, Lorna Tilbian, who joined the
Board in April 2022, will be appointed as the Company's Senior Independent
Director.

 

Colin Day, Group Chair said:

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Richard for his extensive
commercial and retail insight and the important contribution he has made to
the Company's strategic thinking, over what has been a period of significant
transformation for the Company. Richard served as Senior Independent Director
since May 2019 and was interim Chair prior to my arrival.

 

I also look forward to working with Lorna as she assumes her new role as
Senior Independent Director following Richard's retirement."
