The investment arm of Tainui has sold its stake in Ryman Healthcare for $58 million.

Tainui Group Holdings bought the 22.5 million shares for $37 million in 2008.

Chief executive Mike Pohio says the money will be used to reduce debt, after investing heavily at the Base retail centre at Te Rapa near Hamilton and a new Novotel hotel at Auckland airport.
