Trading in units of Kiwi Income Property Trust suspended

7:38 am on 17 December 2013

Trading in units of Kiwi Income Property Trust were suspended on Monday so the Commonwealth Bank of Australia could sell its 8.6% stake in the trust.

The bank said it has appointed Goldman Sachs to sell the stake by way of a placement to institutions.

The sale was widely expected following Commonwealth's sale last week of the contract to manage the trust back to its investors for $70.5 million.
