December 2019: Walnuts NZ Co-operative has recently updated our share offer document (PDS).

This is the document that explains how our shares work, and sets out the current situation and future plans of Walnuts NZ Co-op and the potential risks the business could face. As this provides the context for your current shareholding and any future share issues to you (e.g. if your supply of walnuts to the factory increases), we want to make sure you have access to the updated version.

You can find the PDS, along with further information, at: https://disclose-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/ In the ‘Search for an offer’ box, type ‘OFR10376’ or ‘Walnuts New Zealand’, then click on our offer name when it comes up in the search results.

We have again (July, 2019) updated our Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). This is information to inform investors in the company, and is required by the Financial Markets Authority.

A number of suppliers have already applied for their shares in the co-op and the first ones were issued following the January board meeting. We look forward to receiving more applications in February.

Two matters of clarification may be helpful:

1. The application asks for certification of identity. While normally that would mean getting a JP, MP or other such person to verify your identity, for most walnut suppliers this is unnecessary. If you are personally known to one of the directors (board members) then you do not need to get the photocopies of your identity documents certified.
2. For those who do need to get their copies of identity documents certified, they can go to a JP or a lawyer (or indeed an MP or various other legal people) and that person will sight the original document and sign the copy.
