TELECOM CORPORATION OF NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNOUNCES PLANS TO DEREGISTER ITS ADRS AND ORDINARY SHARES UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND, 3 June, 2014 – Telecom Corporation of New Zealand Limited (Telecom) announced today that it intends to deregister its
American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and ordinary shares under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act (Exchange Act).
Telecom delisted its ADRs from the New
York Stock Exchange in July 2012. Telecom currently provides a sponsored ADR programme in conjunction with Bank of New York Mellon in the U.S. on the ‘over-the-counter’ (OTC) market to enable investors to trade ADRs. Following
deregistration under the Exchange Act, Telecom intends to continue to provide its sponsored ADR programme and ADRs will continue to trade on the U.S. OTC market. Telecom’s ordinary shares will remain listed on the NZX Main Board and the
Australian Securities Exchange.
As Telecom has now met the criteria for deregistration, Telecom plans to file a Form 15F with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) to terminate the registration of Telecom’s ADRs and ordinary shares under the Exchange Act. Upon the filing of the Form 15F, Telecom’s obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 20-F and 6-K,
will immediately be suspended. Telecom expects that the deregistration of its ADRs and its ordinary shares will become effective and Telecom’s Exchange Act reporting obligations will be terminated 90 days after the filing of the Form 15F with
the SEC.
Following deregistration of the ADRs, Telecom intends to continue to post electronic versions of its annual reports, interim financials and
press releases on its web site www.telecom.co.nz.
As Telecom has previously announced, it is intended that Telecom will become Spark New Zealand Limited
later this year. From the effective date of the name change, Telecom’s annual reports, interim financials and press releases will be posted on its new web site www.spark.co.nz.
