CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER RESIGNATION AND LEADERSHIP TRANSITION
In accordance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the Board of
Directors of Nampak ("the Board") advises shareholders that Mr Phildon Roux (“Phil”) has
provided the Company with six months’ notice of his resignation as Chief Executive Officer
("CEO"). He will step down from the role on 30 September 2025, aligning with the Company’s
financial year end. During the remainder of his tenure, Phil will remain focused on driving
growth and concluding key turnaround initiatives.
As part of the succession plan, the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr
Andrew Hood as CEO with effect from 1 October 2025. Andrew currently serves as the
Portfolio Executive for the Diversified Segment and has extensive experience within Nampak.
His operational expertise and deep understanding of the business and market dynamics
make him a natural successor. To support a structured handover, Andrew will be appointed
Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) with effect from 1 April 2025 and will work closely with Phil
during the transition period.
Following his resignation as CEO, Phil will remain on the Board in a non-executive capacity.
In addition, the Board will establish a Strategic Planning and Oversight Committee (“the
Committee”), as a sub-committee of the Board. It is anticipated that the Committee will be
responsible for coordinating Nampak’s strategic planning efforts and will be chaired by Phil,
with both Phil and Andrew appointed as permanent members. The Committee’s expected
primary focus will be twofold, firstly, to oversee the planning and coordination of key customer
engagements and secondly, to ensure that plans relating to plant, infrastructure, and capital
investment are aligned with the Company’s broader business objectives.
The Board expresses its appreciation to Phil for his leadership and extends its gratitude for
his continued involvement through the Committee, which will allow Nampak to retain the
benefit of his institutional knowledge and strategic input beyond his executive role. Given
Andrew’s integral role in the Company’s leadership team, the Board looks forward to his
contributions in furthering the momentum achieved to date by advancing the Company’s
strategic objectives and ensuring continuity in execution.
By order of the Board
