Statement of reasons This notice, which comes into force on the day after the date of its notification in the Gazette, amends the Deposit Takers (Funding Conduits) Exemption Notice 2010 (the principal notice) by extending a temporary unconditional exemption that currently applies to GPG Finance plc, and then removing GPG Finance plc from the cover of the exemptions altogether.
The principal notice exempts specified funding conduits (including GPG Finance plc) from certain sections of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 (the Act).

It grants GPG Finance plc a temporary unconditional exemption from section 157I of the Act, which is the provision requiring deposit takers to have a current credit rating, 2 Reprinted as at 1 April 2015 Deposit Takers (Funding Conduits) Exemption Amendment Notice (No 3) 2011 Statement of reasons until 31 December 2011.
This amendment notice extends that exemption until 31 March 2012.

However, from that date, both the clause that provides the unconditional exemption and the item in the Schedule of the principal notice that makes GPG Finance plc a specified funding conduit for the purpose of the principal notice are revoked.

This means that, on the close of 31 March 2012, GPG Finance plc will lose the benefit of all the exemptions provided by the principal notice.
The notice also consequentially amends the expiry clause, and tidies up the principal notice by revoking 2 expired clauses.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand, after taking into account the principles set out in section 157F of the Act and satisfying itself as to the matters set out in section 157G(2) of the Act, considers it appropriate to extend the unconditional exemption from section 157I of the Act because GPG Finance plc and its specified parent intend to take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that, before 31 March 2012, GPG Finance plc is no longer a deposit taker within the meaning of the Act.
Requiring GPG Finance plc to obtain a credit rating in the period before 31 March 2012 would serve no purpose and would impose unnecessary compliance costs.

These reasons are supplementary to the reasons supporting the original grant of an ex- emption to funding conduits.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 22 December 2011.
