BOARD UPDATE
Abacus Group (ASX:ABG) announces that Myra Salkinder has indicated her intention to retire from the ABG Board. Myra joined the Board in 2011 and was appointed Chair of the Board in 2019. During her time at Abacus, Myra oversaw the strategic evolution of the Group into a focused annuity style asset backed business model, including the concentration of investments into the Commercial and Self Storage sectors that ultimately culminated in the de-stapling and separate ASX listing of Abacus Storage King. The Board would like to thank Myra for her significant contribution and dedication to the Group throughout her tenure.
Upon Myra's planned retirement effective close of business 30 June 2026, the Board has resolved to make the following appointments:
- Mark Haberlin, a Non-Executive director since 2018 and currently Lead Independent Director as Independent Chair of the Board; and
- Mr Phillip Lewis as a Non-Independent Non-Executive Director.
Mr Lewis, based in London, has been at Ki Corporation since May 2010 and heads the Group's property investment division. Ki Corporation is a significant securityholder in ABG and has a substantial portfolio of real estate investments across the United Kingdom, United States and Australia. Mr Lewis brings extensive experience in property investment, development and listed company leadership to the Board, having previously served as CEO of Milner Estates PLC, Executive Chairman of Safestore Self Storage plc and a wide range of non-executive roles in property related businesses. Mr Lewis is currently Non-Executive Chairman of Smeg UK Ltd, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director of Platform 4 Ltd, Network Rail's property development company and Chairs their Board Investment Committee.
