Transpower has contributed paid in capital of $1,200,000,000 (2007: $1,200,000,000) issued and fully paid ordinary shares, which confer on the holders the right to vote at any annual general meeting of Transpower.

Dividends

Management of Capital
Dividends will not be payable in the short term. This is due to dividends being paid when there is "surplus funds". Surplus funds is determined by reference to a sustainable financial structure, having regard to Transpower's credit rating, predictions of short and medium term economic conditions, the medium term capital expenditure programme and working capital requirements. Transpower is currently undertaking a large capital works programme which is being funded from debt and existing reserves.
Available for Sale Reserve
This reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of available for sale financial assets until the investment is derecognised.
