Suncorp disappointed by decision on Tower

Suncorp disappointed by NZ Commerce Commission decision on Tower


Suncorp Group Limited (Suncorp) today said it was disappointed that the New Zealand Commerce Commission had declined the application of Vero Insurance New Zealand Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Suncorp) to acquire Tower Limited (Tower).

Mr Smeaton said Suncorp would review the decision before commenting further.
