Qantas confirms sale of stake in Air New Zealand
Qantas Chief Financial Officer Peter Gregg has confirmed this morning that Qantas had agreed to sell its 4.2% stake in Air New Zealand, with the transaction conducted via an overnight book build, resulting in a sale price of NZ$2.70 per share.
Mr Gregg said Qantas had acquired the shares in 2002 at an effective price of NZ$2.225 per share in association with its proposed Tasman Networks Agreement with Air New Zealand, which did not receive regulatory approval.
He said that following the sale of the shares, Qantas remained comfortable with its previous guidance that its 2006/07 profit before tax was in line with the average of market expectations.
