Statement of reasons
This notice applies to acts or omissions occurring on or after 28 October 2011 and expires on 31 July 2012.
Pyne Gould Corporation Limited (PGC) is a code company.
Australasian Equity Partners Fund No. 1 LP (AEP) has given notice of its intention to make a full offer for all of the equity securities in PGC (the AEP offer).
Pyne Holdings Limited and Baker Street Capital, L.P. (Baker Street) hold all, or substantially all, of the partnership interests in AEP. Pyne Holdings Limited and Baker Street also each hold equity securities in PGC. George Charles Desmond Kerr and Stephen Bruce Lowe hold equity securities in PGC as trustees of the Kerr Family Trust.
Pyne Holdings Limited, Baker Street, and George Charles Desmond Kerr and Stephen Bruce Lowe in their capacity as trustees of the Kerr Family Trust, are acting jointly or in concert with AEP for the purposes of the AEP offer. Rule 35 of the Takeovers Code (the Code) prevents them from accepting the AEP offer.
Rule 35 of the Code is intended to prevent an offeror, or persons acting jointly or in concert with an offeror, from selling shares in the target company other than to a competing bidder. However, rule 35 also prevents persons who are acting jointly or in concert with an offeror from accepting the offer made by that offeror in respect of any securities that they hold in the target company.
The Takeovers Panel (the Panel) has granted an exemption from rule 35 of the Code to enable each of Pyne Holdings Limited, Baker Street, George Charles Desmond Kerr, and Stephen Bruce Lowe to accept the AEP offer.
The Panel considers that it is appropriate and consistent with the objectives of the Code to grant the exemption because—
it would avoid an unintended consequence of the Code; and
it would not disadvantage other shareholders in PGC or prevent them from deciding the merits of the offer for themselves.
Date of notification in Gazette: 10 November 2011.

.
2 Status of reprints
-
Under section 16D of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, reprints are presumed to correctly state, as at the date of the reprint, the law enacted by the principal enactment and by the amendments to that enactment. This presumption applies even though editorial changes authorised by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 have been made in the reprint.
This presumption may be rebutted by producing the official volumes of statutes or statutory regulations in which the principal enactment and its amendments are contained.
3 How reprints are prepared
A number of editorial conventions are followed in the preparation of reprints. For example, the enacting words are not included in Acts, and provisions that are repealed or revoked are omitted. For a detailed list of the editorial conventions, see http://www.pco.parliament.govt.nz/editorial-conventions/
or Part 8 of the Tables of New Zealand Acts and Ordinances and Statutory Regulations and Deemed Regulations in Force.
4 Changes made under section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989
-
Section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 authorises the making of editorial changes in a reprint as set out in sections 17D and 17E of that Act so that, to the extent permitted, the format and style of the reprinted enactment is consistent with current legislative drafting practice. Changes that would alter the effect of the legislation are not permitted.
A new format of legislation was introduced on 1 January 2000. Changes to legislative drafting style have also been made since 1997, and are ongoing. To the extent permitted by section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989, all legislation reprinted after 1 January 2000 is in the new format for legislation and reflects current drafting practice at the time of the reprint.
In outline, the editorial changes made in reprints under the authority of section 17C of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989 are set out below, and they have been applied, where relevant, in the preparation of this reprint:
•omission of unnecessary referential words (such as
“of this section”
and“of this Act”
)•typeface and type size (Times Roman, generally in 11.5 point)
-
•layout of provisions, including:
•indentation
•position of section headings (eg, the number and heading now appear above the section)
•format of definitions (eg, the defined term now appears in bold type, without quotation marks)
•format of dates (eg, a date formerly expressed as
“the 1st day of January 1999”
is now expressed as“1 January 1999”
)•position of the date of assent (it now appears on the front page of each Act)
•punctuation (eg, colons are not used after definitions)
•Parts numbered with roman numerals are replaced with arabic numerals, and all cross-references are changed accordingly
-
•case and appearance of letters and words, including:
•format of headings (eg, headings where each word formerly appeared with an initial capital letter followed by small capital letters are amended so that the heading appears in bold, with only the first word (and any proper nouns) appearing with an initial capital letter)
•small capital letters in section and subsection references are now capital letters
•schedules are renumbered (eg, Schedule 1 replaces First Schedule), and all cross-references are changed accordingly
•running heads (the information that appears at the top of each page)
•format of two-column schedules of consequential amendments, and schedules of repeals (eg, they are rearranged into alphabetical order, rather than chronological).
