New Zealand’s Wellington International Airport (WIA) has revealed that it is planning to make a retail bond offering to the country’s institutional and retail investors.
The airport plans to offer nearly NZD75m ($50m) of six-year unsecured, unsubordinated, fixed-rate bonds, with the option to accept oversubscriptions of around NZD25m at its discretion.

The offer is expected to be open in the first week of next month. The airport said the full details of the offer will be announced once it is open.
Meanwhile, WIA has appointed ANZ Bank New Zealand (ANZ) as the arranger. ANZ and Forsyth Barr will act as the joint lead managers to the bond offer.
WIA said it will offer the bond in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, as an offer of debt securities of the same class as existing quoted debt securities. The bonds are expected to be quoted on the NZX Debt Market.
