Fonterra Co-operative Group has reported an update on the shareholdings of retired director Andrew Webster Macfarlane, who stepped down from the board on 11 December 2025. The disclosure outlines his relevant interests held through several farming entities and trusts that collectively maintain a significant exposure to Fonterra shares and units in the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund.

The notice shows that Pencarrow Farm Limited, where Macfarlane is a director and shareholder, increased its holding from 430,000 to 460,000 Fonterra shares via two on-market purchases in early April 2026, at prices slightly above NZ$6 per share. The filing underscores continued alignment between a former board member and the co-operative through substantial equity positions, a point of interest for investors tracking insider activity and governance continuity in the dairy giant.
