COMMENTS FROM NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Ms Ayten Saridas, makes the following comments:
“Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to be involved in the successful transformation and
growth of several major companies, particularly ASX listed energy and mining companies. I am excited
to be joining Parkway at this pivotal stage of development, and the opportunity to share my knowledge
and experiences, in order to assist the company, navigate its own journey of corporate transformation
and growth.”
COMMENTS FROM GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO
Parkway’s Group Managing Director & CEO, Mr Bahay Ozcakmak, makes the following comments:
“
“We are pleased to be welcoming Ayten to the board of Parkway. In addition to Ayten’s
experience as a well-regarded finance executive, Ayten also brings a wealth of experience and
extensive network, specifically from our key target markets, within the energy and mining
sectors. She is regarded as an executive of high integrity and commitment with a passion for
ensuring that companies operate in a sustainable and ethical manner.
A key priority for Parkway is our flagship iBC® feasibility study we are performing for QGC Shell,
as we concurrently contemplate various potential pathways to deliver the project and create
substantial value for all our stakeholders. During this transformational period, the opportunity
to work closely with Ayten, and benefit from her extensive experience and knowledge, will be
important to not only bolster our own internal capabilities, but also to demonstrate our
capabilities to our external stakeholders.
In addition to Ayten’s extensive corporate experience, during her time at Santos, Ayten led a
range of significant investment decisions involving the Gladstone LNG (GLNG) project. The
GLNG project is a pioneering project converting natural gas, including from coal seam gas
(CSG) from the Bowen and Surat basins, into LNG for export. Ayten brings a range of valuable
insights into what the capital allocation framework looks like, for the sorts of projects Parkway
is seeking to develop, as a sustainable solution for solving complex industrial wastewater
problems.
I am encouraged that we have been able to further strengthen our board, through the recent
appointment of two highly experienced board members, with a genuine interest in the
development and adoption of innovative technologies to deliver sustainability outcomes.”
The release of this announcement has been approved by Parkway’s Group Managing Director & CEO,
Mr Bahay Ozcakmak.
