APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTOR TO WOODSIDE BOARD

 

The Woodside Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Anthony (Tony)
O'Neill as a nonexecutive Director, effective 3 June 2024.

 

"We continually review our Board composition to ensure that Woodside's Board
is best placed to support Woodside's global operations and strategic growth
opportunities. Tony O'Neill has a distinguished reputation for his
transformational work in the global mining industry and has worked extensively
on climate, decarbonisation and sustainability initiatives. His experience in
delivering outstanding operational performance along with his strategic
thinking will be invaluable to Woodside. We are delighted to welcome Tony to
the Woodside Board." Woodside Chair, Mr Richard Goyder said.

 

Mr O'Neill's career started as an engineer in Australian nickel mines and he
has worked in leadership and executive roles across many countries and
commodities. He retired from Anglo American as Group Executive Director of
Technical and Sustainability in December 2022 after a career which saw him
oversee Anglo American's technology ventures including the world's first
in-field deployment of hydrogen-powered mining trucks. Mr O'Neill has been
involved in many mining industry leading sustainability initiatives, including
Anglo American's FutureSmart Mining, the Waterless Mine, the Living Mine and
2040 Net Zero strategy.

 

Mr O'Neill holds a Bachelor of Applied Science (Mining Technology) from
Western Australia's Curtin University and holds an MBA from the University of
Melbourne. Mr O'Neill is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and a
Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.

 

Mr O'Neill joins Woodside as an independent non-executive Director and member
of the Audit & Risk, Sustainability and Nominations & Governance
Committees. Mr O'Neill will stand for election as a nonexecutive Director at
the Annual General Meeting in April 2025.
