Further information on ANZ’s DRP Neutralisation


Further to ANZ’s announcement on 31 October 2018 that it intends to neutralise the impact

of shares provided under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) in relation to the 2018 Final

Dividend, we further advise that:


 Merrill Lynch Equities (Australia) Limited has been appointed to execute the on-

market share purchase itself or through its related bodies corporate.


 Shares up to a value of approximately $199 million are expected to be purchased on-

market to satisfy our obligations under the DRP.


 The DRP pricing period begins today and finishes on 29 November 2018 (inclusive).

The on-market purchase of shares is expected to occur during the DRP pricing

period.

DRP participants do not need to take any action in respect of this in order to receive shares

under the DRP.


ANZ does not intend to purchase shares in relation to the current $3 billion buyback during

this period.
