(b) Dated at Wellington this 5th day of May 2009.

The Common Seal of the Securities Commission was affixed in the presence of: [Seal] J Diplock, Chairperson.

Statement of reasons This notice comes into force on the day after the date of its notifica- tion in the Gazette and expires on 31 March 2014.
3 Statement of reasons Securities Act (Asian Development Bank) Exemption Notice 2009 Reprinted as at 1 April 2014 The notice exempts the Asian Development Bank (ADB) from sec- tions 33(2), 37, 51, 52, 54, and 54B(3) of the Securities Act 1978 in relation to debt securities issued by the ADB.
The Securities Commission considers that the exemptions are appro- priate for the following reasons: • the exemptions allow the ADB to extend offers of secur- ities under its debt issuance programme to investors in New Zealand using offer documents prepared in accordance with United States federal law.

The exemptions recognise the international character of the ADB and the disclosure re- quirements of United States securities laws.
The financial information provided by the ADB under the terms of the exemptions, together with the investment statement provided under New Zealand law, will enable New Zealand investors to make an informed investment decision: in these circumstances, the cost of full compliance with the Se- curities Act 1978 would outweigh any additional benefit such compliance would provide.

• Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 7 May 2009.
