NZX announces further sale of non-core business


NZX announces the sale of its Australian grain data business which was identified as non-core

during the exchange’s strategic review last year.


The Melbourne based agribusiness assets, Australian Crop Forecasters and Profarmer

Australia have been sold to Rural Bank, Australia’s only owned and operated dedicated

agribusiness bank. All six Melbourne based staff will transition with the sale, effective 31 August

2018.


NZX CEO Mark Peterson commented: “This divestment is a positive outcome for all parties.

The transaction continues the NZX’s execution of its strategy announced in November last year,

which outlined an increased focus back on its core markets business.”


All Melbourne based staff will relocate to Rural Bank’s premises which will enable the closure of

NZX’s Melbourne office. NZX will incur a write down of intangible assets of $2.05 million.
