programme and the proceeds would be used for general
corporate purposes.
“The issue was taken up by a
broad range of local institutional investors and we’re
delighted with the continued support for Mighty River Power
from the domestic debt market. The success of the bond
issue will lengthen our debt maturity profile to more than 5

arranger for the bond
issue.
