Fonterra seeks strong farmer mandate for sale
Fonterra chair Peter McBride expects a strong mandate from farmers shareholders for the proposed sale of its consumer and related businesses to Lactalis for $3.8 billion.
Wilson, who was re-elected with director Nicola Shadbolt for another three-year term, says he is happy to be back.
With 11 candidates vying for the three board seats, Wilson said he never took anything for granted.
"All candidates were of high quality. The strong support for Nicola and I is a support for our governance strategy," he told Rural News online.
Wilson polled the highest number of votes followed by Shadbolt among the 11 candidates. New director Blue Read polled the third highest votes.
Read says he's happy to be back in a governance role. He served as chairman of Fonterra Shareholders Council.
