CSL names new CFO amidst ongoing share buy-back program

CSL Limited has appointed Ken Lim as its new chief financial officer, effective October 7, 2025. He succeeds Joy Linton, who will retire after an orderly transition. Lim, who joined CSL in 2013, has served as chief strategy officer since August 2023 and previously held leadership roles at CSL Seqirus, including head of strategy and finance. Dr Paul McKenzie, chief executive and managing director, lauded Lim's strategic thinking and extensive experience.

This leadership transition occurs while CSL continues its on-market share buy-back, intending to repurchase up to AU$750 million of fully paid ordinary shares. The buy-back, which began on September 4, 2025, and is scheduled to conclude on June 30, 2026, saw the company buy back 56,837 securities on October 3, 2025, for a total consideration of AUD 11,774,279.03.

As of October 3, 2025, a total of 1,672,712 shares have been bought back, with a cumulative consideration of AUD 341,364,417.65. The highest price paid on the previous day was AUD 207.79, and the lowest was AUD 205.30. J.P. Morgan Securities Australia Limited is the broker facilitating the buy-back.
