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.
