Outgoing National Australia Bank (NAB) chairman, Ken Henry will not be a member of the board committee which selects the bank’s new chief executive or his replacement as chairman.

However, it said that Thorburn’s unvested deferred awards would be forfeited in accordance with plan rules.
NAB’s interim chief executive, non-executive director, Phil Chronican will receive a fixed monthly fee of $150,000 including superannuation, representing annualised remuneration of $1.8 million and will not receive non-executive director fees in the role.
The selection committee to recruit a new chairman will be chaired by director, David Armstrong while the CEO selection committee will be chaired by Ann Sherry.
