the sale of its life insurance business to Zurich Financial Services Australia. The sale is

comprised of two transactions with total proceeds of $2.85 billion, inclusive of $1 billion of

upfront reinsurance commission from Zurich.


This follows the sale of its OnePath pensions and investments (OnePath P&I) and aligned

dealer groups (ADG) business to IOOF Holdings Limited (IOOF) in October for $975 million.

Total proceeds from the simplification of Wealth Australia is $3.83 billion.


Following completion, Zurich will be Australia’s largest retail life insurer as measured by in-

force premiums with more than 1.5 million customers, while IOOF will have a top-five

superannuation platform with the second largest aligned financial advice network.

:

 100% of One Path Life Australia Holdings Pty Limited (OPL)

 As at 30 September 2017, total life in-force premiums were $1.7bn

general insurance component of credit insurance policies

3 Excluding franking credits

4 Based on 30 September 2017 Group consolidated total Risk Weighted Assets


Capital released following reinsurance and completion of the life insurance sale is expected

to increase ANZ’s consolidated CET1 capital ratio by ~65 basis points and largely be surplus

to ANZ’s unquestionably strong requirements.


The sale is another step in ANZ’s strategy to create a simpler, better balanced bank

focussed on retail and business banking in Australia and New Zealand, and Institutional

Banking supporting client trade and capital flows across the region.


As part of the agreement, ANZ and Zurich will enter into a 20–year strategic alliance to offer

life insurance solutions through ANZ’s distribution channels.


With a long history in Australia and a presence in more than 210 countries and territories,

Zurich is a highly regarded insurance company with global capability in providing life

insurance solutions to more than 60 million customers in partnership with 70 banks in 17

countries, including Santander, Citibank, HSBC, and ING.


ANZ Group Executive Wealth Australia Alexis George said: “From the outset we’ve been

focussed on partnering with a high-quality organisation culturally aligned to ANZ and we’re

pleased we will be able to provide our customers with access to wealth products from one of

the world’s leading and most respected global insurers.”


“Zurich’s experience in working with banks around the world to provide insurance solutions,

combined with its commitment to innovation and strong presence in Australia is a good

outcome for our customers, shareholders and distribution partners.


“Partnering with Zurich is the best outcome for ANZ customers given it will become

Australia’s leading life insurer with the scale to invest in product and digital innovation.


“This transaction will complete the simplification of ANZ’s Australian wealth business,

however we will continue to work hard to minimise any disruption to our customers during

the transition,” said Ms George said.


There are no changes to any current insurance policies as a result of today’s announcement,

including general insurance products provided via QBE.


ANZ expects completion to occur in late 2018 together with the recently announced sale to

IOOF of the Group’s Pensions & Investments and Aligned Dealer Group businesses. The

transaction, including the reinsurance, remains subject to regulatory approval.


A video interview with Chief Executive Shayne Elliott discussing this transaction

will be available at bluenotes.anz.com at 7:30am (AEDT).


A support pack for this announcement has been lodged separately with the ASX

and is available on shareholder.anz.com
