Statement of reasons

This notice, which comes into force on the day after the date of its notification in the Gazette and expires on the close of 31 May 2015, exempts Kiwi Capital Management Limited from being an issuer under section 4(1)(ba) of the Financial Reporting Act 1993 (the Act).

Kiwi Capital Management Limited would, but for this notice, be an issuer because it is to be a recipient of money from a conduit issuer (within the meaning of section 4A of the Act) by virtue of receiving 10% or more of the money to be raised by its wholly owned subsidiary, Kiwi Capital Securities Limited, by the issue of specified debt securities.

The Securities Commission considers that it is appropriate to grant the exemption for the following reasons:

the conduit issuer provisions of the Act were introduced to require public reporting by entities that have the effective use of funds raised from the public:

investors in the specified debt securities will not be disadvantaged by the exemption. Kiwi Capital Securities Limited (the issuer of the specified debt securities) is subject to reporting requirements under the Act as an issuer. Kiwibank Limited (the ultimate recipient of the funds from the offer of the specified debt securities) is subject to full and regular disclosure under the Act and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989, and Kiwi Capital Management Limited will still be subject to the Act as a reporting entity:

the annual financial statements registered by Kiwi Capital Securities Limited will include statements advising investors to refer to the financial statements of Kiwibank Limited to enable them to obtain the information required to evaluate the underlying risk of their investments, and of the fact that the specified debt securities are not guaranteed by Kiwibank Limited, New Zealand Post Limited, or any other person.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 10 June 2010.
