Greg Muir Governance and managementConclusion
Overview
• Global credit issues building for some time – NZ finance sector had specific issues, subsequently worsened by the global crisis
• Hanover recognised lack of funding diversification early and sought to change• Hanover Debt Restructuring Plan provides for
– Additional Financial commitment of up to $96 million by shareholders– retention of board and management, with continued oversight by trustee and
trustee appointed independent– progressive repayment of investors’ principal
• To be put to investors for approval on 9 December 2008• Recommended by the board and preferred over alternative by trustee’s
independent advisors

The finance company sector
• Provision of ‘mezzanine’ finance – between senior bank debt and shareholders’ equity – is historically entrenched and successful
• Generally repaid as developments complete and new purchasers settle, or on refinancing by other lenders
• Currently distressed, with…– Reduction in numbers of ready buyers for completed developments– Contracting senior lender activity– Significant slowing in borrowers’ ability to repay through realising assets or refinancing
• Conditions will improve in time• Ongoing opportunity for specialist financiers to support property and infrastructure
development

The current position
• Hanover ceased accepting funds and making repayments on 23 July 2008• Options for recovery of loans and repayment of investments - the Debt
Restructuring Plan or receivership• Total 17,630 investors in the group, with $553m invested

Secured investorsHanover Finance Limited Approx. 13,800 secured depositors $462.5mUnited Finance Limited Approx. 2,575 secured depositors $64.7m
Unsecured investorsHanover Finance Limited Approx. 125 subordinated noteholders $2.1mHanover Capital Limited Approx. 1,130 preferential bondholders $24.2m
The current position
• Unable to repay all due amounts at present• … but confident that time will enable this to be accomplished• Asset quality is good enough, in our view, to fund principal repayment as
assets are collected over five years• Borrowers need support over the period of the restructuring to maintain the
quality of the asset book and provide the best opportunity to pay out all investors

Debt Restructuring Plan
• Commitment of up to $96m by shareholders – if plan approved– $36 million of cash; being $10 million for principal payments as required, and
$26 million for debt reduction in Axis Property Group – Personal guarantees available if required from 2010 – $20m– Equity in property assets in Axis Property Group – $40m
• Shareholder cash and property commitments locked in over five-year term• Board and management operate the businesses as a going concern• Experienced team that understands the assets and the market• Separate company plans require approval – all conditional on HFL Secured
