NYSE, TSX: NTR
SASKATOON, Sept. 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Nutrien Ltd. (Nutrien)
today announced that Jochen Tilk
will be stepping down as Executive Chair and as a director of the
Company, effective September 30, 2018
to pursue other opportunities. Jochen's key objectives are well on
track and he and the Board have decided that it would be the right
time to hand over the leadership of the Board to an independent
Chair. Effective September 30,
Nutrien's current Lead Director, Derek
Pannell will assume the role of non-executive Chair of the
Board through the 2019 AGM. It is expected that the plans regarding
the new independent Chair, post the 2019 AGM, will be contained in
the proxy circular for that meeting.
The Board and management of the Corporation wish to thank Jochen
for his strong and effective leadership in the formation of Nutrien
and helping guide the new company through the complex integration
activities, the rapid achievement of synergies and its corporate
strategy.
