MARKET RELEASE

New Director to join Telstra Board

7 December 2022 - Telstra Board Chairman, John Mullen today announced the appointment of Board Director, Ming Long AM as a non-executive Director of the Telstra Board.

Ms Long is an experienced director with over a decade of board experience in areas including real estate, infrastructure, funds and investment management and financial services. She also brings a wealth of experience in sustainability and diversity.

She is currently a non-Executive Director of IFM Investors, QBE Insurance (Auspac), Committee for Economic Development in Australia (CEDA) and Chair of the Diversity Council of Australia. She was also previously Chair of AMP Capital Funds Management Limited.

Ms Long has played an influential role in industry leadership in Australia and is on the steering committee for the Australian Institute of Company Directors Climate Governance Initiative and is a member of the ASIC Corporate Governance Consultative Panel. In 2020, she was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for her significant service to the financial and real estate sectors, and to diversity and inclusion.

Mr Mullen said he was delighted to welcome to the Board a Director with a diverse career adept at leading through challenging and uncertain economic environments.

"Ming has broad experience bringing a unique blend of financial, commercial, leadership skills and a deep understanding of corporate governance and stakeholder management," said Mr Mullen.

"She has held senior executive and leadership positions in listed and private equity owned organisations leading complex multi-year strategies to transform companies, as well as experience in corporate restructuring. Ming is passionate about helping Australia drive better economic, social and environmental outcomes and I am particularly pleased to have someone with Ming's dedication to sustainability and diversity joining our Board.

"Ming will add significant depth to our Board and with her appointment our Board has 37 per cent female representation and deeper cultural diversity, which is incredibly important and aligned to Telstra's diversity values."

Ms Long's appointment to the Board is effective 1 January 2023. She will stand for election at the Telstra Annual General Meeting in October next year.
