Stay granted in relation to proposed merger
The High Court has today granted a stay on the effect of the pending decision of the New
Zealand Commerce Commission (NZCC) on the clearance applications of SKY and Vodafone

The stay was granted at a hearing held today in respect of the proceedings filed on Monday
20 February 2017 on behalf of 2degrees, Spark and InternetNZ and is until midnight on the
third day after the NZCC has delivered the reasons for its decision.
SKY is now considering the implications of the High Court's decision to grant a stay and has
requested a trading halt.
