Statement From Canwest Global Communications Corp.
Recently, there has been media speculation regarding CanWest’s involvement in a forestry investment commonly referred
to as “Trinity” and certain IRD and related court proceedings. While certain entities associated with CanWest Global
Communications Corp. (a Canadian media company) have interests in a forestry investment in New Zealand, since March 2004
there have been no ongoing taxation issues in dispute with the IRD or before the courts in respect of this investment.
CanWest MediaWorks (NZ) Limited, the publicly-listed company in New Zealand, has no interest with this investment.
