Document background
The Note Subscription Agreement is a fundamental document used when a company seeks to raise debt financing through the issuance of notes in New Zealand. It establishes the legal framework for the subscription, issuance, and maintenance of the notes, ensuring compliance with New Zealand's financial markets regulations, particularly the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. This agreement is typically used when companies need to raise capital without diluting equity, offering investors a fixed or floating return on their investment. The document includes essential terms such as interest payments, maturity dates, transfer restrictions, and default provisions, while also addressing specific New Zealand regulatory requirements such as financial product disclosure and fair dealing obligations.
