On October 1, 2021, Marcus Blackmore, is threatening to vote against the election of chairman Anne Templeman-Jones, believing Blackmores Limited has lost its entrepreneurial spirit. Marcus Blackmore is particularly bewildered by Templeman-Jones, who is also a CBA director, rebuffing his recommendation of nominating George Tambassis to the board. Templeman-Jones stated that having considered Tambassis' skills and experience, along with the other factors … the board has recommended that shareholders vote against his election. The Company has recommended for election are Wendy Stops, Sharon Warburton, Stephen Roche, Erica Mann and Templeman-Jones. Blackmore said he supported the election of Roche and Mann. In addition, Blackmore stated that he had been disappointed with the Company board for the past 2 years, particularly in the Company's decision to delay its India launch, which was hailed as a step towards diversifying from the China market.
