NZX REGULATION DECISION – 26 October 2018

Waiver from NZX Main Board Listing Rule 7.11.1
Decision
1. Subject to the conditions in paragraph 2 below, and on the basis that the information provided
by KPG is complete and accurate in all material respects, NZXR grants KPG a waiver from
Rule 7.11.1 in respect of the KPG040s (as defined in Appendix One), to the extent that this
Rule would otherwise require KPG to allot the KPG040s within five Business Days after the
latest date on which applications for the KPG040s close.
2. The waiver in paragraph 1 above is provided on the conditions that:
a. KPG allots the KPG040s no later than six Business Days after the latest date on
which the applications for the KPG040s close; and
b. KPG clearly and prominently discloses this waiver in the Terms Sheet for the
KPG040s.
3. The information on which this decision is based is set out in Appendix One to this decision
and in the reasons for this decision. The waiver will not apply if that information is not or
ceases to be full and accurate in all material respects.
4. The Rule to which this decision relates to is set out in Appendix Two to this decision.
5. Capitalised terms that are not defined in this decision have the meanings given to them in
the Rules.
Reasons
6. In coming to the decision to provide the waiver set out in paragraph 1 above, NZXR has
considered that:
a. the policy behind Rule 7.11.1 is to ensure that, where application monies have
been submitted, subscribers obtain the benefit of their investment without undue
delay. The granting of this waiver will not offend the policy behind Rule 7.11.1;
b. allotting six Business Days after the latest date on which the applications for the
KPG040s close avoids the maturity date falling on a non-Business Day;
c. KPG has submitted, and NZXR has no reason not to accept, that no holder of the
KPG040s will be disadvantaged by the granting of this waiver; and
d. there is precedent for this decision.
Confidentiality

7. KPG has requested that its application, and NZXR’s decision, be kept confidential until after
the Offer is disclosed to the market by KPG.
8. In accordance with Footnote 1 to Rule 1.11.2, NZXR grants KPG’s request.

terms of the KPG040s (Terms Sheet).
5. NZX Debt Market Listing Rules (Rule) 7.11.1 requires securities to be allotted within five

Business Days after the Closing Date. Subscription monies for the Offer are payable by
the holder on allotment of the KPG040s.
6. The Offer is structured so that all of the KPG040s are reserved for the clients of the Joint
