Answer

This decline was made by the Minister of Finance under section 20C(1) of the Overseas Investment Act 2005, prior to the commencement of the Overseas Investment (National Interest Test and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2025. The further details you have requested, if released, would likely prejudice the security of New Zealand and the international relations of the Government of New Zealand. Therefore, this information is not being released.
