Chorus Limited (Chorus) has set the initial Interest Rate for its issue of NZ$170 million unsecured, subordinated, redeemable, cumulative, interest-bearing capital notes (Capital Notes) at 5.90% per annum.

The Interest Rate will be reset on the First Reset Date and every 5 years after that, unless redeemed earlier by Chorus. Chorus may, in its absolute discretion, defer any payment of interest on the Capital Notes for up to 5 years.

The Capital Notes are expected be issued on 6 June 2025 and quoted on the NZX Debt Market on 9 June 2025 under ticker code CNU050.
