08/08/2011 - By Jonathan Hill | Investor News - Continuous disclosure

Z Energy Limited (Z Energy) closed its retail bond offer on 5 August 2011, having successfully raised $150 million (which includes $50 million in oversubscriptions).

The offer opened on 8 July 2011 with an interest rate of 7.25% p.a. and a maturity date of 15 August 2018. The initial target was to raise NZ$100 million from New Zealand retail investors, but strong investor demand extended this to $NZ150 million.

Z Energy Chief Executive Mike Bennetts today said he was very pleased with the level of investor support for Z Energy. The funds raised will be used to pay down bank debt and provide a more flexible corporate funding structure.

“We welcome new investors choosing to invest in Z Energy. We‟re very pleased with the level of investor confidence and support both for Z Energy and the New Zealand market and we are determined to reward that support through building a world-class Kiwi company,” he said.
