We have been issuing bonds since 1999

With approximately $1.5 billion of debt listed on the NZDX Infratil is one of the largest corporate bond issuers in New Zealand. Infratil has over 14,000 bondholders and has met all interest and repayment commitments on each bond issued over this period.

 

Buying and selling Infratil bonds

You’ll find our bonds on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). You can buy and sell them through a bank or broker. You can buy bonds when we first issue them. Or you can buy and sell them later from other investors on the secondary market.

Most bonds on the secondary market trade regularly, but because investors tend to keep bonds till they mature, bonds trade much less often than shares. Prices will change over time and vary with the number of buyers and sellers.

At the maturity of each bond, we often seek to offer bondholders a chance to reinvest in another issue of bonds with a new maturity date.

If bondholders do not reinvest, or a reinvestment option is not available, the money is paid back into your nominated bank account as registered with Link Market Services Limited (our Bond Registrar).

Our perpetual bonds

We have $231,916,600 million of perpetual bonds outstanding which were issued in November 2006.

Our Perpetual Infratil Infrastructure Bonds (PiiB) have no maturity date and coupon rate resets each year in November. Coupons are then paid quarterly over the next 12 months. Find out their history and what to consider when buying or selling them.

Bonds with coupons that reset

Some investors prefer bonds where the coupon resets at certain times instead of being fixed through to the bond maturity date.

The coupons of the following bonds are reset at the dates below. On each reset date the coupon rate is updated to reflect an updated base rate plus a fixed credit margin. The credit margin is agreed at the start of each bond for its full term and reflects the perceived credit risk of Infratil and the general market at the time.
