In consequence of the extension of tt>e business of this Company, and the numerous applications which have been made to increase the Capital and to -"idea its operations by the issue of new hurts, a d thereby increase the number of Shareholders, on extraordi nary Meeting of sharehoMors was held on the Oth instant, whea the Company resolved to increase the Capital to One Million bounds by the creation of 100,000 Shares of £10 each. Of these .-haivs it has been detsi mined to offer 50,000 to the public, the re maining 50,000 Shares to be allotted to the present Shareholders in exchange for their interest in tho Company. The present Proprietor" thus offer one half of the Company's interest for sale The Shares now offered to the public; are of £10 each, of which £2 is to be paid up ; ti ey will be sold at £4 10s each, or i-ifty fchillings premium, payable as follows :— ■£0 10 0 per share on application 10 0 ~ on allotment 10 0 „ on 31st May, 1876 10 0 „ on 30th .November, 1875 10 0 ~ on 31st May, 1876 £4 10 0 One-half of the sums to be paid from time to time will be credited to Capital, excepting the last pay ment, when 5s will go to Capital, thus making the complete payment to Capital Account of £2 i or share. Any sum received on account of Capital before the 30th November next will be credited with interest at the rate of 10 per cent per annum from the date of allotment to that date, and from that date they will carry full dividend rate, and participate in all the future advantages accruing in proportion to the amount of capital paid. Any Shareholder* may pre pay his instalments, and thereupon his prepayment after 30th November next, will carry full dividend rate from date of payment. In case of default being made in payment of any instalment the Directors to have full power to forfeit any Shares in respect of which such flefault is made, and to sell or otherwise dispose of them as they think fit. To ensure a general distribution the 50,000 Shares now offered will be divided as follow :—Auckland, 16,000; Dunedin. 10,0' 0; Christchurch, 7 000; "Welling ton, 6,000 ; Nelson, 2,00. ; Taranaki, 1.000; Napier, 2,000 ; Westland, 1,000 ; Waneanui, 1,000 , reserved for the Australian Colonies, 5,000, and the Directors reserve the right not to allot tn any of the places named a^y greater number than that allowed to each place. The applications for Shares will be considered and allotted in order of date of application. • Tho Directors do not bind themselves to allot any shares to any person they may consider not eligible as a Shareholder, and they may return tht application money to such applicant The present Proprietors will thus receive 50,000 Shares of £2 each, represented by the present paid-up capital of the Company ; the present Re-Insurance Fund of £40,000 will belong to.' the New Account, to begin from 30tn November next, in which the New Shareholders will participate in proportion to the Capital paid-up. The new Shareholders' payments of £2 per Share of capital will make the paid-up Capital £200,000 ; the Company will then stand ' with . a Subscribed Capital of £I,ooo,ooo,with £200,000 paid-up, and t a Re-Insurance Fund of £40,000. The Premium on the new Shares, and all the funds and property of the Company as it now exists over and above the present Paid-up Capital of £100.000, and the £40,000 Re-Insurance Fund will belong to and be divisible among the old Shareholders. . , ■ . - The steady progress which this Company has made is well-known. The original amount paid by the first Shareholders was £4,845; an additional issue of new shares was mad« in 1862, and £3,372 was then capi talised, making in *11 £8,227. 'Xhe Capital now stands at £100,000, it having grown to this amount from time to time out of profits. In addition to this, and ouq of profits also, a Ee-Insarance Fund of £40,000 and a Reserve Fund of £35,000 have been added to the Company's assets. And, during the whole period of the Company's existence, tha Share holder have received dividends at the rate of 10 per cent per anuum, and the amount paid in dividends has been £72,171. . , '„ „;. ,_ • Losses amounting to nearly half-a-million nave occurred since the commencement of business, and have invariably been promptly met. * The amount of accumulated funds belonging to the Company, and invested, now stands at £214.000. The investments consists of Real Property, Mortgages, Bank, Loan Company, Gas, and other Shares, City Debentures, Ac. . The interest accruing, from these investments would pay on the proposed increased Capital of £200,000 a rate of intejest to the Shareholders equal to 7J per cent; that is to say if all the premiums were lost the Company would be able to declare a dividend of 7 J per cent, from the present invested accumulations ; whereas the invested funds, when the present plan is carried out, will begin with £240,000. Applications, accompanied by the payment of 10s on «*ach share applied for, must be forwarded to the Agents of the Company, or to the Manager at the He"d Office, Auckland, on or before the 10th day of Oc-.ober, 1874. : i . - - Prospectuses and Forms of Application can be obtained at the Company's office, Auckland, or from any of the Agents of the Company. ~ ~ Manager Auckland, ±lth September, 1874.
