HOW TO COMPLETE THIS VOTING/PROXY FORM
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, PLEASE BRING THIS FORM WITH YOU.
THIS WILL ASSIST IN REGISTERING YOUR ATTENDANCE.
UPDATING YOUR ADDRESS DETAILS
If your address details on the front of this form are incorrect, please mark the
corrections on the form and return it so we can update your details in
Westpac’s share register. Shareholders sponsored by a broker should advise
their broker of any changes. Please note: you cannot change ownership
of your shares using this form.
DIRECT VOTING UNDER BOX A
If you ticked Box A, you are indicating that you wish to vote directly. Please
only mark either ‘For’ or ‘Against’ for each item. If you mark the ‘Abstain’
box, your vote will not be counted.
If no direction is given on an item, or if you complete both Box A and Box B,
your vote will be passed to the Chairman as your proxy.
Your direct vote will be cast for all of your shares unless you indicate only a
portion of your shares are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage
or number of shares beside the relevant item of business.
If you have lodged a direct vote, and then you attend the meeting, your
attendance will cancel your direct vote and your votes at the meeting will be
counted, unless you advise Westpac or Link Market Services Limited (Link)
otherwise.
Further guidelines about direct voting are set out in Westpac’s Direct Voting
Rules, which are available on our website (www.westpac.com.au/
investorcentre).
APPOINTING A PROXY UNDER BOX B
If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If
you wish to appoint someone other than the Chairman as your proxy, please
write the name of the person or body corporate in Step 1. A proxy need not
be a shareholder of Westpac.
DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING
If you leave Box B blank, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting,
the Chairman will be your proxy. If your named proxy attends the meeting but
does not vote on a poll on a resolution in accordance with your directions,
the Chairman will become your proxy in respect of that resolution. On a poll,
the Chairman will vote proxies as directed.
VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes
opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance
with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are
to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you
wish to vote beside the relevant item of business. If you do not mark any of
the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses,
subject to any voting exclusions that apply to your proxy. If you mark more
than one box on an item, your vote on that item will be invalid.
PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL (KMP)
If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or other member
of Westpac’s KMP, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must
specify how they should vote on Items 2 and 3 by marking the appropriate
box. If you do not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for Items
2 or 3.
If the Chairman is or becomes your proxy but you do not direct him how to
vote on an item (that is, you do not complete any of the boxes ‘For’, ‘Against’
or ‘Abstain’ opposite that item), you will be expressly authorising the Chairman
to vote as he sees fit on that item.
APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY
Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes are entitled to appoint up to
two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish
to appoint a second proxy, an additional Voting/Proxy Form may be obtained
by telephoning Link or you may copy this form and return them both together.
To appoint a second proxy you must:
(a) on each Voting/Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or
number of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not
specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise,
each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be
disregarded; and
(b) return both forms together.
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES
If a representative of the corporation is to attend the meeting the appropriate
‘Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative’ should be produced prior
to admission in accordance with the Notice of Meeting. A form of the certificate
may be obtained from the Company’s share registry or online at

specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise,
each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be
disregarded; and
(b) return both forms together.
