Bonus offer
New Zealand retail investors will receive one loyalty bonus share for every 25 shares they hold for two years from the offer, up to a maximum of 200 bonus shares. For an investor who buys $2000 worth of shares, that equates to $80 or around 4 per cent. As pointed out in the prospectus the investors will not be taxable on the receipt of the bonus shares. Although the financial arrangements rules apply to the agreement to purchase the Shares (including the Loyalty Bonus Shares), IRD has issued a ruling confirming no income arises to the investor under those rules. If the 4% is added on top of the implied cash dividend the return on the shares would be around 8% which is much higher than what the investors could get by keeping their money in bank.
