REGISTERED CHARGES

 

The following Registered Charge has been recorded over the subject’s assets.

 

On 29 June 2004, Charge to ANZ National Bank Limited, ANZ Corporate Banking, charging all present and after acquired personal property.

 

The ‘Personal Property Securities Act 1999’ (PPSA) came into effect on 1 May 2002.

 

The PPSA has bought together registered charges that were historically created under several different Acts, e.g. debentures registered pursuant to the Companies Act and charges over specific assets registered pursuant to the Chattels Transfer Act 1924.

 

Charges registered are called Security Interests.

 

The PPSA is also used by suppliers to register a charge over goods which have been supplied to the subject in respect of which the supplier terms of trade may previously have contained a “reservation of title” clause.

 

Charges over land are not registered under the PPSA and there may be charges over land in the name of the subject.

 

The registration dates recorded below are the dates that the original security was registered and since the PPSA came into force the charges are now registered directly by chargeholders.

 

There are no Security Interests registered over goods – other and/or goods – motor vehicles.

 

 

RECORDED ACTIONS

 

Nothing of an adverse nature has been recorded against the subject.
