In the matter of a Bill intituled “An Act to further amend ‘The New Zealand Bank Act, 1861.’”

NOTICE is hereby given that the Bank of New Zealand intends to present a petition to the General Assembly of New Zealand, at its next session, praying for leave to introduce a Bill to be intituled “An Act to further amend ‘The New Zealand Bank Act, 1861.’”

The object of the said Bill is to confirm and validate certain resolutions passed at the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the said bank, held in London on the 28th day of August, 1890, and confirmed at a special general meeting of said proprietors, also held in London on the 18th day of September, 1890.

The following is a copy of the resolutions above referred to:—

1. “That the £1 15s. per share of the existing shares in the capital of the bank numbered 1 to 100,000 inclusive, and £2 10s. per share of the shares in the same capital numbered 100,001 to 150,000 inclusive, be and the same respectively are hereby cancelled, such capital having been lost or being unrepresented by available assets; and that henceforth dividends shall be paid on the first-mentioned shares as representing £5 5s. each, instead of £7 each; and on the secondly-mentioned shares as representing £7 10s. each, instead of £10 each: but such reduction shall not interfere with or in any way alter the liability of shareholders to contribute a further sum of £10, as provided by the bank’s Acts and Deed of Settlement, in the event of the assets of the corporation being insufficient to meet its engagements.”

2. “That the directors be and are hereby empowered, at their option, to receive from such holders of the shares in the capital of the bank numbered 1 to 100,000 inclusive as may be willing to pay the same £1 15s. per share, to reinstate their shares to £7; and to receive from such holders of the shares in the same capital numbered 100,001 to 150,000 inclusive as may be willing to pay the same £2 10s. per share, to reinstate their shares to £10; and on all shares so reinstated to pay dividends on the reinstated amounts.”

And notice is hereby further given that copies of the said Bill will be deposited at the office of the Examiner of Standing Orders at Wellington, at or within fourteen days after the commencement of the session.

Dated this 20th day of December, 1890.
