15. SALE OF TAUPO ELECTRICITY LIMITED

Early in 1995, the Taupo District Council indicated it proposed to consider the sale of Taupo Electricity Limited and Taupo Generation Limited. The proposal was subject to a public consultation process.

The Board of Directors supports the proposed sale for the following reasons:

  • The Taupo District Council is not an appropriate shareholder for TEL and TGL in the new competitive environment;
  • The companies need a shareholder who can provide equity and take a greater risk in order that the companies can achieve their goals;
  • Investors are currently paying large premiums for controlling equity positions in power companies;
  • Delivered energy costs are not likely to be affected by a new owner;
  • The companies are performing well and are in a prime condition for sale;

and subject to the sale being:

  • For 100% of the company;
  • For cash only;
  • And at the right price.
