VINZ Board Welcomes JEVIC NZ as It Secures Majority Ownership

AUCKLAND, 12 February 2013 – The Board of Vehicle Inspection New Zealand Ltd (VINZ) today congratulated JEVIC NZ Ltd and JEVIC Chief Executive Euan Philpot on that company obtaining over 95% shareholder acceptance of its takeover offer of VINZ, with the expectation that 100% will be obtained in due course.

Ken Worsley, Chairman of the VINZ Board, said, “Full ownership will avoid the uncertainty for minority shareholders, which would have existed had the takeover been only partially successful.

“A sole shareholder with strong industry background will also provide improved security and control for VINZ in these uncertain times.

“VINZ is an established going concern with skilled and committed staff and, under JEVIC ownership, it will no doubt continue to prosper,” said Mr Worsley.
