NZ Post, the NZ Super Fund and ACC to provide $247 million of capital into Kiwibank
NZ Post, the NZ Super Fund and ACC will, through Kiwi Group Holdings Limited, subscribe for $247 million of common
equity in Kiwibank, effective 10 April 2017, following a recent preliminary decision by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand
regarding Kiwibank’s convertible capital instruments.
Shareholders will fund proportionate to their existing shareholdings, reflecting recent announcements by shareholders
that Kiwibank’s capital ratios will be maintained should the Reserve Bank determine that the convertible capital
instruments are not fully compliant.
Kiwibank remains of the strong view that existing convertible capital instruments are compliant and is working with the
Reserve Bank of New Zealand to resolve this matter.
