RETIREMENT OF CHAIRMAN

22 February 2017

Spotless (ASX: SPO) today announces that its Chairman, Ms Margaret Jackson AC, has advised of her retirement from the Spotless Board, effective immediately.

Following recent episodes of ill health, Ms Jackson has advised the Board that she wishes to scale back her corporate commitments so that she can focus more fully on her recovery.

Ms Jackson will be succeeded as Chairman by Mr Garry Hounsell, effective immediately. Mr Hounsell has been a Spotless non-executive director and Chairman of the Audit, Business Risk and Compliance Committee since March 2014 and also holds current non- executive directorships with Dulux Group Limited, Treasury Wine Estates Limited and Integral Diagnostics Limited, as well as being Chairman of Helloworld Limited.

Ms Jackson, who has served as Chairman since March 2014, led the Company in its return to the ASX via the 2014 IPO and has since played a key role in overseeing the Company's strategy reset and key leadership changes.

Ms Jackson said: "It is with regret that I have advised the Company of my retirement. It has been a privilege to serve as Chairman of this great company and to work closely with an outstanding Board and senior management team. The Company is in excellent hands going forward. I thank my fellow directors and the rest of the Spotless team for their incredible support over my time at the Company".

Incoming Chairman Mr Hounsell paid tribute to Ms Jackson's efforts: "Margaret has made an outstanding contribution to Spotless, providing great leadership through what has been an exciting and challenging three years for the Company. On behalf of the Board and management team, I extend thanks to Margaret for her leadership, commitment and support and wish her well for the future".
