The programme is supported by a Cash Advances Facility of $160 million with the Bank of New Zealand and the ANZ Investment Bank, which continues until December 2002. The facility has the benefit of a Negative Pledge Deed declared by Deed Poll on August 1997, which has been joined by all subsidiaries as Guaranteeing Subsidiaries.

As at 31 March 2001, no funds were drawn down on the Facility and $2.65 million was invested in Call Funds. The facility is based on a revolving credit arrangement and as such does not have set repayment dates. The facility expires on 31 July 2001 but is subject to automatic renewal for a further period. The facility also has the benefit of the Negative Pledge Deed and the Group Cross-Guarantees.
