The company’s chief financial officer, John Stevenson, has been appointed interim acting CEO.

The Board has initiated a process with an executive recruiting agency for a replacement CEO.

Mr Renehan joined Namoi Cotton Limited in 2019 as CEO and undertook a modernisation program to ensure that the business met the challenges of the drought and, more recently, the COVID-19 work environment.

As part of the termination package, Mr Renehan received a three-month termination payment of $100,000, a one-off payment of $100,000 and a relocation and out-placement fee of $30,000.
