ALF - Mark Franklin

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Mark Franklin, the Chairman of

Allied Farmers.

Mark was a highly experienced and principled businessman, and he will be greatly missed by

all the entities he chaired and contributed to. He will certainly be missed around the Allied

Farmers board table where his strength of leadership and strategic insight was invaluable.

Our thoughts and condolences are with his family at this difficult time.

The Board of Allied Farmers has appointed Chris Swasbrook as Chair with immediate effect.

Ross O’Neill

Legal Counsel and Company Secretary
