South Canterbury Finance receivers sell FSL stake

The receivers of South Canterbury Finance say they have sold its 50% shareholding in Financial Synergy (FSL) which results in the full recovery of a loan.

The receivers, Kerryn Downey and William Black of McGrathNicol, didn't specify the amount of the loan or the amount the stake was sold for.

The FSL stake was sold to D & W Investments and Sectarian Securities.

Downey says the outcome provides future certainty for FSL's customers and suppliers.

FSL is a specialist insurance premium funding company which provides premium funding options to companies through a network of insurance brokers. It has operated on a largely stand-alone basis from the rest of the SCF group since it was established in October 2002.

The receivers have already sold Helicopters New Zealand, excluding Glacier Helicopters, for $154 million, SCF's 78.7% stake in Scales Corporation for about $44 million and more than $100 million in commercial loans.

The government, which has already paid out $1.7 billion to SCF investors, estimates its retail deposit scheme will cost it about $1.2 billion, largely because of lower than expected related party loan recoveries from the receivership of South Canterbury Finance.
