In July 2012 Vodafone NZ approached Telstra to purchase TelstraClear for a payment of $840 million and $450 million that TelstraClear has in its accounts. On 30 October the Commerce Commission approved the takeover bid, and on 31 October the sale was completed. Vodafone plans to keep TelstraClear running as a side entity for at least six months then merge together more. No date has been set for the closedown of the TelstraClear brand.

Famous quotes containing the word purchase:
“We are told to maintain constitutions because they are constitutions, and what is laid down in those constitutions?... Certain great fundamental ideas of right are common to the world, and ... all laws of man’s making which trample on these ideas, are null and void—wrong to obey, right to disobey. The Constitution of the United States recognizes human slavery; and makes the souls of men articles of purchase and of sale.”
—Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842–1932)
