The Reserve Bank of New Zealand issued this notice to revoke the 2018 exemption that allowed Nelson Building Society to maintain a 50% capital limit on non-cumulative preference shares. The revocation aligns the society with the standard 25% limit prescribed in the Deposit Takers Regulations 2010. The Bank determined that compliance with the stricter capital ratio is no longer unduly burdensome for the society following a review of its share terms.
