SASKATOON, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Nutrien Ltd.
(Nutrien) today announced that Jochen
Tilk will be stepping down as Executive Chair and as a
director of the Company, effective September

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

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.
