(a) has endorsed on it, or attached to it, or is accompanied by, a copy of the specified material contract excluding the excluded provisions; and

Statement of reasons
This notice, which comes into force on the day after the date of its notification in the Gazette and expires on 31 August 2007, exempts Sky Network Television Limited (Sky) and certain other persons from regulation 7(1)(a) and clause 33(b) of Schedule 2 of the Securities Regulations 1983 in the case of an offer of securities to the public.
The Securities Commission considers that it is appropriate to grant the exemptions because—
•the exemption from regulation 7(1)(a) of the Regulations and clause 33(b) of Schedule 2 of the Regulations meets the criteria stated in the Commission's Exemption Policy Note for Applications to Exclude Commercially Sensitive Information from Material Contracts. The Exemption Policy Note can be viewed on the Commission's website at www.sec-com.govt.nz/notices/exemption-policy.shtml:
•the detriment to the commercial interests of Sky by the disclosure of the excluded provisions would outweigh any benefit to prospective investors arising from their disclosure:
•the conditions of the exemption require that Sky explains to prospective investors the general nature of the excluded provisions and why they have been excluded:
•the directors of Sky must warrant that the non-disclosure of the excluded provisions does not make the registered prospectus or the investment statement misleading in any material particular by a failure to refer, or give proper emphasis, to any adverse circumstances.
Date of notification in Gazette: 31 August 2006.
