Mainfrei ht Cor orate Governance g p

  • We are proud of the governance that guides our Company

  • We do not blindly follow perceived best practice; in some cases the interests of the Company and its shareholders are not best‐served by those guidelines

  • We have applied the principles of good corporate governance and adopted robust measures that support our efforts to grow this magnificent Company, for the benefit of our team and shareholders around the world, for the next 100+ years

Cor orate Governance – continued … p

  • Mainfreight’s Board of Directors

  • Comfortable with current level of six directors

  • Tenure and experience are a key part of who we are – at Board, Management and Team level

  • Board is comfortable with the independence of Simon Cotter, Bryan Mogridge, Kate Parsons and Richard Prebble

  • Somewhat surprised and troubled that board composition is a topic of conversation, when facing threats of current pandemic and global recession, against the successful formula that has guided us profitably for a very long time

We Continue To …

  • Be positive and optimistic about the year ahead, with a hint of caution

  • Believe our people, culture and quality are key differentiators

  • Want to be useful and effective for our customers

  • Seek growth and intensity for our network

  • Think bigger and bolder, no matter the pandemic and economic situations

  • Keep thinking and acting long term

  • Maintain current strategic direction of the business

==> picture [196 x 293] intentionally omitted <==

  • “Being useful feels good”

The determination, positivity and hard work of our people has been nothing short of staggering; they deserve a huge thank you from all of us
