NZX Announcment
09 December 2019
LGFA's shareholders approved amendments to its foundation policies during its annual meeting on 21 November 2019. A copy of the amended foundation policies is attached.
The principal changes to the foundation policy relate to:
• greater treasury policy limits given the increase in the size of LGFA's balance sheet;
• permitting LGFA to lend money through facility arrangements (in addition to lending through debt securities); and
• permitting LGFA to lend to council-controlled organisations, subject to certain matters being undertaken.
Notwithstanding the amended foundation policy, as at the date of this announcement:
• LGFA only lends to local authorities through debt securities, not through committed facility agreements; and
• LGFA does not and will not lend to council-controlled organisations until certain matters have been undertaken, including appropriate amendments to its existing lending documents.
