ANZ 2019 Final Dividend-key dates & associated information

News Release
For release: 31 October, 2019
ANZ 2019 Final Dividend
- key dates and associated information for holders of
ANZ’s ordinary shares and Capital Notes -

The Group announced a proposed 2019 Final Dividend of 80 cents per share, partially
franked at 70%. New Zealand imputation credits of NZD 9 cents per share will also be
attached.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan Neutralisation

ANZ announced its intention to neutralise the impact of the shares allocated under the
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP). DRP participants do not need to take any action in
respect of this in order to receive shares under the DRP.

The neutralisation of the DRP is expected to involve ANZ ordinary shares being purchased
on -market during the DRP Pricing Period by a third party appointed by ANZ. To the extent
that the on-market purchase is not able to be completed for any reason, then ANZ will issue
new ordinary shares to meet its obligations under the DRP.

Franking Adjustments on ANZ Capital Notes

Distributions paid on ANZ’s Capital Notes are required to be franked at the same level as the
ordinary share dividend for the relevant half-year in which they are paid. As a result,
distributions payable in the first half of the 2020 financial year will be franked at 70%.

However, holders of the Capital Notes will be paid an increased cash distribution amount to
compensate them for the unfranked component of the distribution in accordance with their
terms.

Further details of the adjustment to each distribution on the ANZ Capital Notes in that
period will also be announced via ASX today.

Dividend, DRP & BOP Information

For the 2019 Final Dividend, under the DRP and Bonus Option Plan (BOP) Terms and
Conditions no discount will be applied when calculating the Acquisition Price used to
determine the number of ANZ ordinary shares allocated.

Election notices from shareholders wanting to commence, cease or vary their participation in
the DRP or BOP for the 2019 Final Dividend must be received by ANZ’s Share Registrar,
Computershare, by 5.00pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on 13 November 2019.

Australian Taxation

Any Australian resident holder of ANZ ordinary shares or Capital Notes should ensure they
have provided their Tax File Number (TFN), Australian Business Number (ABN) or other tax
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited ABN 11 005 357 522

exemption to ANZ’s Share Registrar to ensure that ANZ is not required to withhold tax in
respect of the unfranked component of the relevant dividend or distribution. No withholding
tax is payable by shareholders resident outside Australia as the unfranked component of the
dividend or distribution will be sourced from ANZ’s conduit foreign income account.
