POMSoX

Bankers at UBS met with fund managers in the past fortnight, testing their appetite for a dual listing of the financial operation in Australia, in addition to the Port Moresby stock exchange, where it is already listed.

The bank — one of the largest listed on the Port Moresby Exchange — has more deposits than loans because of the limited corporate field to lend to in Papua New Guinea, according to sources.

There are a number of economic headwinds in PNG — its biggest market — with inflation running at 6 or 7 per cent, while currency risk remains a factor.

In a statement from the Port Moresby Stock Exchange, the two week extension has been provided to enable renewed escrow arrangements to be put in place with Fu Shan to accommodate Bank of PNG regulatory requirements.

The Escrowed Shares represent approximately 20% of Kina's issued capital.

A voluntary escrow was entered into by Fu Shan for a period of 12 months from the date of the Company's admission to ASX and POMSoX.

Those arrangements were described in section 9.12.6.1 of the Prospectus and in the pre-quotation disclosure released on 29 July 2015.
