New Zealand: Geneva Finance Hits the Wall

November 5th, 2007

Via: National Business Review:

Geneva Finance has secured a moratorium on capital withdrawals for the next six months at a shareholder meeting in Auckland today.

The moratorium resolution passed by an “overwhelming majority,” the company said in a statement.

During the moratorium investors will receive interest payments monthly. Geneva will continue to trade and lend to build up cash reserves, but will accept no new investments.

A third party, on behalf of the trustee, would monitor Geneva to ensure it kept to the conditions of the moratorium.
