15/05/2025 12:29 NZST, ADMIN

Mercury has today announced that Lorraine Witten has confirmed her intention not to stand for re-election at this year’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

Lorraine Witten was appointed to the Board in 2022. Having served three years on the Board and on the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee (now the Audit and Financial Risk Committee), Ms Witten has confirmed her intention to retire from the Board this year, and not seek re-election at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting in September.

"On behalf of the Board I'd like to extend my thanks to Lorraine for her dedicated service over this period. Lorraine’s commercial acumen and background in innovation and high change environments combined with deep executive experience have been valuable to the Board and management since her appointment," said Scott St John, Board Chair.

Ms Witten will step down after completion of the FY2025 annual financial statements and reporting, in August.
