7. Supplementary information - Holding Company decision (Agenda Item 9)
Document number R26983, agenda pages 136 - 213 refer.
Group Manager Corporate Services, Nikki Harrison presented the report and addressed questions raised by the Public Forum presenter, noting that the matter of uncalled capital was raised by submitters and considered in the deliberation report; this was the formalisation of the current arrangement and not material to risk that Council already held in relation to the strategic assets. She advised that, with regard to credit rating assumptions, Standard and Poor’s took into account Council’s 50% share of debt in the Airport and Port, and that Council would not let those entities fail.
Ms Harrison answered questions on:
· The stability of debt within the entities and the authorisation process for additional borrowing
· 10 year forecasting
· The composition and term of the interim and operational board
· Benefits of the 1% reduction in the interest rate
· Confirmed the assumption that the runway extension for the airport would happen within the first 10 years of the plan
Her Worship the Mayor welcomed Chief Executive Officer, Hugh Morrison, and Chief Financial Officer, Daryl Wehner, from Port Nelson Limited.
Mr Morrison answered questions on Port Nelson’s strong relationship with Westpac and the revolving credit facility it worked with, diversification with investment in the Science and Technology Precinct, the lease swap in Marlborough which would provide a better strategic position and confirmed a 1% reduction in interest would equate to an approximate increase of $500,000 (after tax) annually in dividend to the two councils.
Port Nelson Ltd had provided confidential supplementary information and the meeting excluded the public to consider this.

The withholding of the information is necessary: · Section 7(2)(h) To enable the local authority to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, commercial activities |
The meeting moved in to confidential session at 11.04a.m. and returned at 11.40a.m.
The recommendation was moved by Councillor McGurk, seconded by Her Worship the Mayor Reese.
Ms Harrison answered further questions on:
· Council’s contribution to the Science and Technology Precinct in the Long Term Plan, confirming it was an economic decision for the city.
· The Statement of Expectation (SOE) process, noting if shareholding councils were not happy with the Statement of Intent (SOI) they had the ability to go back to the underlying subsidiary and force changes required. The SOE would go to the IHL Board and would cover specific issues the councils had with the underlying subsidiaries.
· Reporting on the SOI and clear accountability lines
· Confirmed the benefit to the community was in interest savings and the potential for an increased dividend which would reduce the rates Council had to collect
· Confirmed that Tasman District Council had confirmed the resolution on 30 June 2022.
The meeting adjourned from 12.22p.m. and reconvened at 1.09p.m.
Clause 1 was taken separately and a division was called on the remainder of the motion.

Recommendaton to Council |

Recommendation from the Joint Shareholders Committee: The Council notes that: Purpose A. The purpose of these resolutions is to seek the Council’s approval of the documents and transactions necessary to approve the: a) Restructuring Proposals (including the Initial Share Issue); and b) Financing Proposals (including the New Share Issue). B. The Restructuring Proposals, Initial Share Issue, Financing Proposals and New Share Issue are explained below. A new holding company for Port Nelson Limited and Nelson Airport Limited C. Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council (together, the Shareholders) have together been investigating the incorporation of a holding company which they will own in equal shares. The holding company will hold and administer investments in entities in which the Shareholders have a substantial interest for the benefit of the Nelson and Tasman regions, being Port Nelson Limited (PNL) and Nelson Airport Limited (NAL). D. Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council through their Long Term Plan process and Joint Shareholders Committee (JSC), have each received and reviewed advice from Deloitte about operational synergies of holding investments, being PNL and NAL, in a holding company, and tax structure options. E. The name agreed for the holding company is Infrastructure Holdings Limited (IHL). F. The initial directors approved for IHL are Catherine Taylor, Paul Steere, Gerrard Wilson and Paul Zealand and an independent chairperson is being recruited. Restructuring Proposals G. As part of the proposal to incorporate IHL, it is proposed that each of the Shareholders transfer all their shares in PNL and NAL to IHL (Share Sale) for $8,446,000 in total (Purchase Price). The Purchase Price will be owed to the Shareholders in equal portions (being $4,223,000 each). The Crown holds, and will continue to hold, one special “Kiwi Share” in NAL. H. The Purchase Price allocation is: a) $2,400,000 for the shares in NAL; and b) $6,046,000 for the shares in PNL. I. Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council will each subscribe for 42,230 ordinary shares in IHL (being 84,460 ordinary shares in total) (Initial Shares), at an issue price of $100.00 per share (Initial Share Issue). The total subscription amount for the Initial Shares is therefore $8,446,000 (Initial Subscription Amount), which is equal to the Purchase Price. J. Accordingly, the Purchase Price will be satisfied on a cashless basis by set-off against the Initial Subscription Amount. K. The sale of shares in PNL and NAL and the subscription for the Initial Shares will be referred to in these resolutions as the “Restructuring Proposals”. Financing Proposals L. The New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency Limited (LGFA) is a limited liability company owned by central government and local authorities. It was established to borrow funds and then on-lend those funds to local authorities and (now) council-controlled trading organisations (CCTOs) at lower margins than those local authorities and council-controlled organisations would otherwise pay. M. Currently, PNL and NAL service their debt requirements through ordinary bank borrowing from Westpac New Zealand Limited (Westpac). However, it is projected that PNL’s and NAL’s debt requirements and financing costs may increase over the next 10+ years to meet infrastructure-upgrade demands. N. Given the projected increase in PNL’s and NAL’s debt requirements and financing costs, IHL’s primary purpose is to operate as a treasury vehicle for PNL and NAL. To achieve this purpose, it is further proposed that (Financing Proposals) IHL will: a) join the LGFA borrowing programme (LGFA Accession) as a CCTO, following which, IHL will be able to borrow funds directly from LGFA by issuing securities to LGFA; b) enter into borrowing and risk hedging facilities with Westpac, which is PNL’s and NAL’s current bank; and c) on-lend amounts borrowed from the LGFA borrowing programme and Westpac to PNL and NAL under intra-group funding arrangements. O. Joining the LGFA borrowing programme will enable IHL to access cheaper core debt on behalf of PNL and NAL. As a “port company” under the Port Companies Act 1988, PNL is not permitted to join LGFA and NAL does not have the scale to make joining LGFA economical. It is considered that, once implemented, the Financing Proposals will deliver considerable financial benefits, including savings in financing costs for PNL and NAL and, consequently, increased dividend return to Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council (as the ultimate owners of PNL and NAL). Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council through their Long Term Plan process and the JSC have each received and reviewed advice from Deloitte about LGFA funding benefits. P. PNL and NAL will continue to require the flexibility offered by Westpac’s transactional banking products. IHL will also enter into borrowing and risk hedging facilities with Westpac for working capital requirements and risk-management (such as interest-rate hedging). The LGFA Accession and Westpac facilities Q. LGFA and Westpac will require certain credit support as conditions to the LGFA Accession and the availability of the Westpac facilities. Such credit support will include: a) a subscription from the Shareholders for an agreed amount of uncalled and unpaid equity capital in IHL (further details are described below); b) IHL, PNL and NAL will each cross-guarantee each other’s obligations to LGFA, Westpac as lender under borrowing facilities and Westpac as counter-party to risk-management facilities (together, the Finance Parties); and c) IHL, PNL and NAL will each grant general security over all of their personal property in favour of the Finance Parties. In the case of IHL, this will include security over its right to call for uncalled and unpaid equity capital. R. As mentioned above, it will be a condition to the LGFA Accession and the availability of the Westpac facilities that the Shareholders subscribe for, and IHL issues to the Shareholders (New Share Issue), a further 1,165,000 ordinary shares each (totalling 2,330,000 ordinary shares) in IHL (New Shares) for an issue price of $100.00 per share. The total amount payable for the New Shares will therefore be $233,000,000 (Issue Amount). The Issue Amount will remain uncalled and unpaid until such time as the directors of IHL make a call on the New Shares for the Issue Amount. Shareholder approvals S. The Restructuring Proposals and the Financing Proposals will require the approval of the Shareholders as: a) the proposals are, or may be, “major transactions” (as defined in section 129 of the Companies Act 1993 (Act)); b) the Initial Share Issue and the New Share Issue require the agreement of IHL’s entitled persons (as that term is defined in the Act) for the purposes of section 107(2) of the Act. The only entitled persons of IHL will be the Shareholders; and c) Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council (as the shareholders of IHL) must consent, for the purposes of section 50 of the Act and for all other purposes, to becoming the holder of the Initial Shares and the New Shares. T. Accordingly, IHL’s board of directors will, at the relevant times, separately request that Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council (as shareholders and entitled persons of IHL) confirm and approve IHL’s entry into, execution and performance, of the: a) Restructuring Proposals (including the Initial Share Issue); and b) Financing Proposals (including the New Share Issue), by separate unanimous resolutions and entitled persons’ agreements. The unanimous resolutions and entitled persons’ agreements for the Restructuring Proposals and the Financing Proposals are together referred to as the “Unanimous Shareholder Resolutions and Entitled Persons’ Agreements”. Next steps U. In order to incorporate IHL and give effect to the Restructuring Proposals, the Shareholders will need to: a) register IHL as a limited liability company on the New Zealand Companies Office and each complete the Companies Office requirements in relation to the incorporation of IHL (such as shareholder consent forms) (Companies Office Forms); b) appoint directors to the board of IHL (including an independent chairperson); c) cause IHL to adopt the constitution in the form attached (the Constitution); d) enter into a shareholders’ agreement (which will include the subscription provisions for the Initial Shares) with IHL, in the form attached (the Shareholders’ Agreement); e) enter into a sale and purchase agreement with IHL relating to the transfer of shares in PNL and NAL in the form attached (the Sale and Purchase Agreement); f) execute and deliver the share transfer forms (in the form attached) in relation to the Sale and Purchase Agreement (the Share Transfer Forms); and g) any other documents necessary or desirable in connection with the Restructuring Proposals. The Companies Office Forms, Shareholders’ Agreement, Sale and Purchase Agreement, Share Transfer Forms and any other documents captured by paragraph U.g) above, are together referred to as the “Restructuring Documents”, and the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Documents are referred to as the “Restructuring Transactions”. V. In order to give effect to the Financing Proposals, each of the Shareholders will need to enter into: a) a subscription agreement (in the form attached) with IHL, under which the Shareholders will subscribe for the New Shares (Subscription Agreement); b) (as part of the LGFA Accession) accession deeds to the multi-issuer deed and notes subscription agreement (which Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council are each already a party to) (Accession Deeds); and c) any other documents necessary or desirable in connection with the Financing Proposals. The Subscription Agreement, the Accession Deeds and any other documents captured by paragraph 0 are together referred to as the “Financing Documents” and the transactions contemplated by the Financing Documents are referred to as the “Financing Transactions”. Documents W. The Council tables the most recent drafts of the Restructuring Documents, the Subscription Agreement and the Unanimous Shareholder Resolutions and Entitled Persons’ Agreements. X. The Council has not tabled copies of the Accession Deeds because they are not yet available for the Council to review and approve. However, the Accession Deeds will be based on the standard form for accession deeds scheduled to the LGFA Multi-Issuer Deed and Notes Subscription Agreement respectively. That the Council resolves: 1. the Council consents, for the purposes of section 50 of the Act and for all other purposes, to being the joint owner in equal shares of the Initial Shares and the New Shares; 2. the form of the Constitution be approved, and the Shareholders will cause IHL to adopt the Constitution; 3. the Restructuring Documents and the Restructuring Transactions (including, specifically, the Initial Share Issue) are approved, and any pre-emptive rights available to the Shareholders in relation to the Share Sale are to be waived in the Sale and Purchase Agreement; 4. the Financing Documents and the Financing Transactions (including, specifically, the New Share Issue) are approved; 5. the forms of the Unanimous Shareholder Resolutions and Entitled Persons’ Agreements are approved; 6. the Council enters into and, following execution, delivers and performs its obligations under, each of the Restructuring Documents and the Financing Documents and that these documents may be executed by: a) (in the case of agreements) the Chief Executive; and b) (in the case of deeds) two elected members, on behalf of the Council, subject to any minor amendments cleared by both Tasman District Council’s and Nelson City Council’s legal advisors; 7. when requested to do so by the board of IHL, the Chief Executive is authorised to sign the Unanimous Shareholder Resolutions and Entitled Persons’ Agreements on behalf of the Council, subject to any minor amendments cleared by both TDC’s and NCC’s legal advisors; 8. the Chief Executive is authorised on behalf of the Council to, subject to clearance by both Tasman District Council’s and Nelson City Council’s legal advisors: a) approve any further minor amendments to the Restructuring Documents, the Financing Documents and the Unanimous Shareholder Resolutions and Entitled Persons’ Agreements prior to their execution; ands b) enter into, execute, and deliver such other agreements, instruments, notices, communications, and other documents; and c) do such other things, in connection with the Restructuring Documents and the Restructuring Transactions, the Financing Documents and the Financing Transactions, and the Unanimous Shareholder Resolutions and Entitled Persons’ Agreements, as the Chief Executive may consider necessary.

8. Water Services Entities Bill Submission (Agenda Item 10)
Document number R27006, agenda pages 214 - 221 refer.
Group Manager Infrastructure, Alec Louverdis, presented the report and noted that 87% of the feedback received was against the Water Services Entities Bill, reasons given were loss of ownership, control, accountability and lack of strategic oversight.
Mr Louverdis answered questions on Te tai Ihu representation and Her Worship the Mayor Reese advised that she had received an indication that neighbouring councils did not support the split of boundaries, which did not follow local government boundaries. She noted that this had been a decision of Cabinet which followed Ngai Tahu rohe (entity D). Tasman District Council had advised it supported the boundaries associated with the Health reform as it amalgamated all of the South Island. She noted that there was the opportunity for Council to provide comment on the boundary split and it was agreed to reference this in the motion.
