Vector announces conditional sale agreement
for its LPG assets
Vector (NZX: VCT) advises that is has entered into a conditional agreement for the sale of its
liquified petroleum gas (LPG) business, Vector Ongas, and its 60.25% shareholding in
Liquigas Limited, for $150 million.
Vector Ongas is one of New Zealand’s largest suppliers of LPG to homes and businesses
throughout the country. Liquigas provides infrastructure services to support the bulk
distribution and storage of LPG throughout New Zealand.
Vector group chief executive Simon Mackenzie said “Vector has grown Ongas over the years
and the timing is right to sell it now. A process was run, which led to an offer for Vector Ongas
and the Liquigas shareholding.”
“This will enable us to concentrate on leading the energy transition, through our networks and
technology solutions.”
The agreement has a number of regulatory approvals and commercial conditions to satisfy. It
is anticipated this will take until late 2024/early 2025 to complete. We will work with the buyer
to ensure a smooth handover for Ongas staff and customers.
