Fisher and Paykel Finance
 

Security of the Debenture Stock

 

The debenture stock is secured by a first ranking general security interest in favour of The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited, as trustee for investors, over the undertaking of Fisher & Paykel Finance Limited and its guaranteeing subsidiaries, including:

• all their respective present and future assets within New Zealand, including uncalled and unpaid capital;

• all bank balances and book debts situated outside New Zealand; and

• all other assets situated outside New Zealand and charged in favour of The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited as trustee for investors.

 

Prior charges (currently none) that may rank ahead of the first ranking debenture stock are:

• Charges given priority by legislation such as purchase money security interests registered under the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 and other claims given priority by legislation, such as liquidation costs, employees’ remuneration and taxes; and

• Prior charges permitted under the Trust Deed* (so long as the total borrowing under all such prior charges does not exceed 7.5% of Total Security Assets as defined under the Trust Deed);

As at 16 September 2011 (being the date of the current registered prospectus), there were no such prior charges ranking in priority to the first ranking secured debenture stock.
