Bapcor Limited

(ASX: BAP)

ASX Release

4 April 2018

Resignation of Bapcor Chairman

Mr Robert McEniry, Chairman of Bapcor Limited, has announced his resignation from the Bapcor Board effective immediately, due to a serious health issue.

Robert joined Bapcor early in 2014 as Bapcor prepared for its ASX listing. He has been a guiding force that has seen the group grow from listing with an ASX market capitalization of $300 million. Bapcor now, just four years later, has a market capitalization of $1.6 billion. Bapcor is Australasia’s leading supplier of automotive aftermarket parts, accessories, equipment and services, which is poised to expand into Asia.

Darryl Abotomey, Bapcor’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director said “Robert has been such a tremendous Chairman of the Bapcor group, providing unparalleled support to the Directors, Management and Team at Bapcor. His wise counsel, measured advice and friendship will be missed by everyone in our group.”

“Robert has overseen Bapcor’s highly successful rapid growth including the acquisitions of Metcash Automotive, Hellaby Holdings Limited and many smaller acquisitions that have strongly grown shareholder returns and made Bapcor an exciting company to be part of.”

“Robert is universally respected for the way he goes about everything he does. I personally have enjoyed a wonderful relationship with Robert who has been outstanding in his guidance, mentoring and sage advice.”

“To Robert, Penelope, his family and all their friends, our warmest wishes and prayers are with you during this extremely difficult time.”

The Board of Bapcor has today elected Mr Andrew Harrison as its Chairman effective 4 April 2018. Andrew has been a Non-Executive, Independent Director of Bapcor since its listing on the ASX in April 2014.
