BOARD CHANGES AND APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL ADVISOR

Cardia Bioplastics Limited (ASX: CNN) is pleased to announce the following initiatives, effective immediately.

Board changes

Mr Richard Tegoni will assume the role of Executive Chairman reflecting his continued close involvement with the prioritisation and implementation of Cardia’s core business strategy. Mr Tegoni joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 21 December 2012 and was appointed NonExecutive Chairman on 18 October 2013. He has been instrumental in the development and implementation of Cardia’s finished product strategy and, as Executive Chairman, will continue to take an active role in ensuring timely and successful implementation of the corporate strategy and sound planning for future direction of the business.

This appointment will complement the role of the Managing Director, Mr Frank Glatz, and allow him to devote a stronger focus on the achievement of global commercial and technical milestones.

Mr Gideon Meltzer who joined the Board as a Non-Executive Director on 7 November 2013, has been appointed Chairman of the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee has been established to ensure that remuneration arrangements support the strategic aims of the business and enable the recruitment, motivation and retention of senior executives.

Appointment of Special Advisor

Mr Michael Poulton has been invited to act as a special advisor to the Board to provide advice in relation to strategic and operational performance. With an extensive career profile at CEO and General Management level, Michael’s experience spans a range of key manufacturing industries within the ‘Public’ and ‘Private’ business sectors, including, within the Packaging Industry.

He was the founder and Managing Director of the Glenvern Associates in late 1997, and had a strong personal focus on strategic business development/operational performance enhancement working with major corporate clients both domestically and overseas.

Michael retired from his business last year and the Cardia Board members are very pleased to be able to draw on his extensive experience to assist them in managing the future growth of the company.
