Power today announced the successful pricing of a new
wholesale bond issue in the domestic market.
The issue consists of $75 million of six year bonds and $25 million of 10 year bonds with fixed coupons of 5.029% and 5.793% respectively. The issue date of the bonds is 6 March 2012.
Mighty River Power’s Chief Financial Officer,

programme and the proceeds would be used for general
corporate purposes.
“The issue was taken up by a
broad range of local institutional investors and we’re
delighted with the continued support for Mighty River Power
from the domestic debt market. The success of the bond
issue will lengthen our debt maturity profile to more than 5

in May 2013,” said Mr Meek.
BNZ was the sole lead
arranger for the bond
issue.
