Participant details — Other MIS offers

Participants are added when registering the underlying scheme

The scheme manager's details will be displayed in your offer as soon as you select the underlying scheme in the registration process. The information you need to provide for each participant varies.

Check participants are on a register or directory first

You'll need to provide the names of all relevant participants, or the number that's been allocated to them on the relevant Companies Office register or directory.

Most participants will be found on a Companies Office register and if not, will need to be recorded on the Other Participants directory.

This means your application to register a scheme offer automatically updates certain participant details which are held in the following places:

Participant Source
Companies registered in NZ Companies Register
Other entity registered in NZ, eg, credit union, overseas issuer, limited partnership Companies Office
Individuals, boards of trustees, partnerships and other participants Other Participants directory
Financial service providers Financial Service Providers Register

Participant details you need to provide

The details you need to provide for each participant varies.

Offeror details

An offer can have more than 1 offeror. If the offeror isn't the scheme manager, you'll need to provide the following information.

  • Offeror's name and number.
  • Offeror's Financial Service Provider (FSP) number if required — ensuring the offeror is registered for "Offeror under an FMC offer".
  • Offeror's email address. If you're a third party acting on behalf of the issuer, this must be the offeror's email address, not yours.

Adding a participant to the Other Participants directory

The Other Participants directory lists individuals, boards of trustees, partnerships and other participants that don't exist on another Companies Office register.

If you've searched the Other Participants directory and can't find your participant listed, you'll need to add them.
