11. Industry Restructuring

As a result of agreement reached on 1 April 1999 between Nelson Electricity Ltd, Trans Alta Ltd and Citipower Ltd the Nelson Electricity Network lease in favour of Citipower was terminated on that date.

The initial payments to buy out the lease were made on Nelson Electricity’s behalf by its two shareholders, Marlborough Lines Ltd and Network Tasman Ltd. The two shareholding companies were required to make these payments in order that the payments could be offset against an early lease termination clawback in favour of the Nelson City Council. The clawback arrangement was further offset by other consulting and legal costs incurred in the buy-out negotiation process.

On 1 April 1999 Nelson Electricity Ltd entered into a Deed of Indemnity with its two shareholding companies to provide for the reimbursement of sums expended by the shareholding companies in effecting the buy-out of the network lease. This resulted in payments to the shareholders (net of GST) as follows:

Marlborough Lines Ltd $1,234,096
Network Tasman Ltd 1,214,792
Total 2,448,888

Further to the Deed of Arrangement entered into between Nelson Electricity Ltd, Citipower Ltd and Trans Alta Ltd on 1 April 1999, the electricity supply (retail) business was sold on 31 May 1999 to Trustpower Ltd thus completing compliance requirements with the Electricity Industry Reform Act.
