ANZO welcomes new cornerstone investor and management company partnerJanuary 15, 2004 AMP Capital Investors today confirmed that 50% of AMP NZ Office Trust’s (ANZO) management company has been transferred to Ronin Property Group and that Ronin Property Group has acquired, from National Provident Fund, a cornerstone investment of 30% in ANZO. AMP Capital signalled these transactions in December when it unveiled a series of major initiatives to enhance the performance of ANZO. Ronin Property Group purchased the units in two transactions, 5% prior to Christmas and a further 25% following a 15 Business Day “notice and pause” period required by the NZX. The intended unit buy-back also announced in December is dependent on ANZO receiving confirmation from the IRD on its tax treatment of any buy-back proceeds. ANZO’s application is currently before the IRD. Contact: |
