News Release

For release: 22 January 2020

Issue of US$1,250,000,000 Fixed Rate

Subordinated Notes

Notice under section 708A(12H)(e) of the

Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth)

Today Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522) (“Issuer”)

will issue US$1,250,000,000 fixed rate subordinated notes due July 2030 pursuant to its

US$25,000,000,000 Medium-Term Notes Program (the “Subordinated Notes”).

The Subordinated Notes convert into fully paid ordinary shares of the Issuer (“Ordinary

Shares”) where the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority determines this to be

necessary on the grounds that the Issuer would otherwise become non-viable.

This notice is a cleansing notice prepared for the purposes of section 708A(12H)(e) of the

Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) (“Corporations Act”) (as inserted by ASIC Corporations

(Regulatory Capital Securities) Instrument 2016/71) to enable Ordinary Shares or Approved

NOHC

1

Ordinary Shares issued on conversion of the Subordinated Notes to be freely

tradeable without further disclosure and includes:


1. In Schedule 1, a description of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Subordinated

Notes that has been extracted from the terms of the Subordinated Notes dated 22

January 2020;


2. In Schedule 2, commercial particulars of the Subordinated Notes, extracted from the

Pricing Supplement for the Subordinated Notes dated 14 January 2020; and


3. In Schedule 3, a description of the rights and liabilities attaching to Ordinary Shares.


Words and expressions defined in Schedule 1 have the same meanings in the remainder of

this cleansing notice unless the contrary intention appears.

The issue of Subordinated Notes by the Issuer will not have a material impact on the

Issuer’s financial position. If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and the Issuer issues

Ordinary Shares, the impact of Conversion on the Issuer would be to increase the Issuer’s

shareholders’ equity. The number of Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion is limited to the

Maximum Conversion Number. The Maximum Conversion Number is 57,903.8796 Ordinary

Shares per Subordinated Note with a nominal value of US$200,000, based on the Issue

Date VWAP

of US$17.27.

context of the Subordinated Notes.

As a disclosing entity, the Issuer is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations

under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. Broadly, these obligations require the

Issuer to prepare and lodge with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission

(“ASIC”) both yearly and half yearly financial statements and to report on its operations

during the relevant accounting period, and to obtain an audit or review report from its

auditor.

Copies of documents lodged with ASIC may be obtained from or inspected at an ASIC office.

The Issuer must ensure that the ASX is continuously notified of information about specific

events and matters as they arise for the purposes of ASX making the information available

to the Australian securities market. In this regard, the Issuer has an obligation under the

ASX Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify the ASX immediately of any

information concerning it of which it becomes aware, which a reasonable person would

expect to have a material effect on the price or value of its quoted securities.

The Issuer will provide a copy of any of the following documents free of charge to any

person who requests a copy before the Subordinated Notes are issued:

 any continuous disclosure notices given by the Issuer in the period after the lodgement

of the annual financial report of the Issuer for the year ended 30 September 2019 and

before the date of this notice;

 the Issuer’s consolidated financial report and dividend announcement for the full year

ended 30 September 2019;

 the Issuer’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 September 2019; and

1 This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Issuer (herein

called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series in accordance

with the Second Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement, dated as of

May 6, 2016 (as amended, from time to time, herein called the “Fiscal Agency

Agreement”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Fiscal

Agent (herein called the “Fiscal Agent”, which term includes any successor fiscal

agent under the Fiscal Agency Agreement), to which Fiscal Agency Agreement

reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of

rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent and the

holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to

be, authenticated and delivered. Copies of the Fiscal Agency Agreement are on

file and available for inspection at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent in

the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. This Security is one of the series

(this “series”) designated on the face hereof, limited in aggregate Principal Amount

to U.S.$25,000,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof in any other currency or

currencies or currency units or composite currencies) outstanding at any one time

(which amount may be increased at the option of the Issuer if in the future it

determines that it may wish to sell additional Securities of this series).

The Securities of this series are unsecured, direct, subordinated and general

obligations of the Issuer and will rank in a Winding Up of the Issuer behind all

claims of Other Creditors (as defined in Section 7), and, subject to Section 8A, pari

passu with Equal Ranking Securities (as defined in Section 7) and ahead of Junior

Ranking Securities (as defined in Section 7). The Securities of this series will not

constitute deposit liabilities or protected accounts of the Issuer in the

Commonwealth of Australia for the purposes of the Banking Act 1959 of Australia

and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other

government, governmental agency or compensation scheme of Australia, the

United States or any other jurisdiction or by any party.

2 The Securities of this series are issuable in fully registered form and rank pari passu

without any discrimination, preference or priority among them whatsoever. Unless

otherwise specified on the face of the Security, the Securities of this series are

thereof in any other currency or currencies or currency units or composite

currencies) above that amount.

3 (a) The interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be the amount of

interest accrued from, and including, the immediately preceding Interest Payment


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no interest has yet

been paid, from and including the Issue Date), to, but excluding, such Interest

Payment Date or the Stated Maturity or such earlier date as the Principal Amount

shall become due in accordance with the terms hereof, as the case may be. The rate

of interest on this Security will be reset on the Interest Reset Date specified on the

face of this Security.

(b) The Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate specified as applicable on the

face of this Security that shall take effect on the Interest Reset Date shall be the Five-Year

U.S. Treasury Rate on the corresponding Reset Determination Date.

The Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate determined in accordance with this

Section 3(b) will be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Reset Spread, if any,

specified on the face of this Security.

Payments of interest hereon with respect to any Interest Payment Date or at

maturity will include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or such

maturity date, as the case may be. Interest hereon shall be computed on the basis of a 360-

day year of twelve 30-day months unless an Alternative Day Count Convention is specified

on the face hereof.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, if any Interest Payment Date

for this Security or the Interest Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the

interest payment or Interest Reset Date, as applicable, shall be postponed to the next

succeeding Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from

and after the Interest Payment Date. If the maturity date or any earlier redemption date

with respect to this Security falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment of

principal, and interest otherwise due on such day will be made on the next succeeding

Business Day, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after

such maturity date or redemption date, as the case may be.

Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof: “Business Day”:

(a) for the purposes of Sections 8A.1 to 8A.4 and, if Option 1 (Section 8A.2)

applies to this Security, Section 9A, means a day which is a business day

within the meaning of the listing rules of the Australian Securities

Exchange, or any successor (“ASX”) as amended, varied or waived

(whether in respect of the Issuer or generally) from time to time (“ASX

Listing Rules”); and

(b) for all other purposes of this Security, means each Monday, Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that (i) is not a day on which banking

institutions in The City of New York, the City of London or the City of

Sydney, Australia generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation

or executive order to close, (ii) if the Specified Currency for any payment

on this Security is other than U.S. dollars or euros, is not a day on which


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



banking institutions in the Principal Financial Center (as defined below) of

the country issuing such Specified Currency generally are authorized or

obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close, (iii) if the

Specified Currency for any payment on this Security is euros, is a Euro

Business Day (as defined below) and (iv) solely with respect to any

payment or other action to be made or taken at any Place of Payment

outside The City of New York, is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday or Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in such

Place of Payment generally are authorized or obligated by law, regulation

or executive order to close.

“Euro Business Day” means any day on which the Trans-European

Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System, or any

successor system, is open for business.

“Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate” means the interest rate (expressed as a

percentage per annum) determined by the Calculation Agent to be the per annum rate equal

to the yield to maturity for U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of five years as

published in the most recent H.15.

“H.15” means the daily statistical release designated as such, or any

successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the United States Federal

Reserve System available through their worldwide web site at

http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication,

that establishes yield on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities under the caption

“Treasury constant maturities”, and “most recent H.15” means the H.15 which includes a

yield to maturity for U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of five years published closest

in time but prior to the Reset Determination Date.

“Principal Financial Center” means the capital city of the country issuing

the Specified Currency, except, with respect to Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, New

Zealand dollars, South African rand and Swiss francs, the Principal Financial Center shall

be Sydney, Toronto, Auckland, Johannesburg and Zurich, respectively.

“Reset Business Day” means a day on which commercial banks and

foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including

dealing in foreign exchange and foreign deposits) in the City of Sydney, the City of New

York and the City of London.

“Reset Determination Date” means the second Reset Business Day

immediately preceding the Interest Reset Date.

References in this Security to “U.S. dollars” shall mean, as of any time, the

coin or currency that is then legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in the

United States of America.


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



References in this Security to the “euro” shall mean, as of any time, the coin

or currency that is then legal tender for the payment of public and private debts in all EMU

Countries. “EMU Countries” means, at any time, the countries then participating in the

European Economic and Monetary Union (or any successor union) that, as of that time,

have adopted a single currency pursuant to the Treaty on European Union of February 1992

(or any successor treaty), as it may be amended from time to time.

References in this Security to a particular currency other than U.S. dollars

and euros shall mean, as of any time, the coin or currency that is then legal tender for the

payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Issue Date.

If the Specified Currency for any payment on this Security is other than U.S.

dollars, the Issuer has initially appointed the institution named on the face of this Security

as Exchange Rate Agent to act as such agent with respect to this Security, but the Issuer

may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any affiliate of the

Issuer) to serve as such agent from time to time. The Issuer will give the Fiscal Agent

prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment. Insofar as this Security

provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other

institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any

institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or

more of such institutions are any such agent, affiliates of any such agent or affiliates of the

Issuer.

All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such

agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes

and binding on the holder of this Security and the Issuer. The Exchange Rate Agent shall

not have any liability therefor.

4 The Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an

office or agency where Securities of this series may be surrendered for registration

of transfer or exchange. The Issuer has initially appointed the corporate trust office

of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as its

agent (a “Transfer Agent”) for such purpose and has agreed to cause to be kept at

such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may

prescribe, the Issuer will provide for the registration of Securities and registration

of transfers of Securities. The Issuer reserves the right to vary or terminate the

appointment of the Fiscal Agent as security registrar or of any Transfer Agent or to

appoint additional or other registrars or Transfer Agents or to approve any change

in the office through which any security registrar or any Transfer Agent acts,

provided that there will at all times be a security registrar in the Borough of

Manhattan, The City of New York.

The transfer of this Security is registrable on the aforementioned register

upon surrender of this Security at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent or any

Transfer Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder

thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Security for

registration of transfer, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and

deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities

of like tenor and form, dated the date of authentication thereof, of an authorized

denomination or authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount.

At the option of the registered holder upon request confirmed in writing,

Securities may be exchanged for Securities of an authorized denomination or authorized

denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate Principal Amount upon surrender

of the Securities to be exchanged at the office of any Transfer Agent or at the corporate

trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange,

the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities

which the registered holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of

transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Transfer Agent or the Fiscal Agent, as the

case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making

the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may from time to time

agree with the Transfer Agents and the Fiscal Agent.

In the event of a redemption of the Securities in part, the Issuer shall not be

required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning

at the opening of business 15 calendar days before, and continuing until, the date notice is

given identifying the Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange

any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption.

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of

Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled

to the same benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or

exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but

the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental

charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial

redemption of a Security not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the

Issuer, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person

in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or

not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer nor the Fiscal Agent or any such agent

shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

5 The Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its principal corporate trust office in the

Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on or prior to each Interest Payment

Date, any redemption date and the maturity date of this Security, in such amounts

sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the

purpose) to pay the interest on, the redemption price of and accrued interest (if the

redemption date is not an Interest Payment Date) on, and the principal of, the


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



Securities due and payable on such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or

maturity date, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so

paid to it to the payment of such interest, redemption price and principal in

accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and this Security.

Any monies paid by the Issuer to a Paying Agent for the payment of the

principal of or interest on any Securities and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years

after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity,

upon call for redemption or otherwise) shall then be repaid (without interest) to the Issuer,

and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall cease,

without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer may have to pay the

principal of and interest on this Security as the same shall become due.

6 (a) All payments of, or in respect of, principal of and interest on this Security

will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any taxes,

assessments or other governmental charges (“Relevant Tax”) imposed or levied by

or on behalf of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority in or of

Australia and/or where the Issuer is acting through a branch, the jurisdiction in

which the branch is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority in or of

that jurisdiction (each a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) unless the withholding or

deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional

amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any interest on, this Security

(“Additional Amounts”) as will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties,

assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments

or governmental charges payable in respect of such Additional Amounts) in the

payment to the holder of this Security of the amounts which would have been

payable in respect of this Security had no such withholding or deduction been

required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable:

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the

holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Security having some connection

(whether present, past or future) with a Relevant Jurisdiction, other than

mere receipt of such payment or being a holder, or the beneficial owner, of

this Security;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the

holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Security not complying with any

statutory requirements or not having made a declaration of non-residence

in, or lack of connection with, a Relevant Jurisdiction or any similar claim

for exemption (including supplying an appropriate tax file number or

Australian Business Number), if the Issuer, or any other agent of the Issuer,

has provided a holder, or beneficial owner, of this Security with at least

60 days' prior written notice of an opportunity to comply with such

statutory requirements or make a declaration or claim;


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of a holder,

or beneficial owner, of this Security having presented for payment more

than 30 days after the date on which the payment in respect of this Security

first became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly

provided for, whichever occurs later;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of a holder

of this Security being an Offshore Associate of the Issuer (acting other than

in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds manager

or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the

Corporations Act 2001 of Australia). “Offshore Associate” means an

associate (as defined in section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act

1936 of Australia and successor legislation) of the Issuer that is either a

non-resident of Australia which does not acquire this Security in carrying

on a business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia or,

alternatively, a resident of Australia that acquires this Security in carrying

on business at or through a permanent establishment outside of Australia;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied as a result of the

holder being party to or participating in a scheme which had the dominant

purpose of avoiding tax, being a scheme which the Issuer was neither a

party to nor participated in;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of a holder,

or the beneficial owner, of this Security having presented this Security for

payment in a Relevant Jurisdiction, unless this Security could not have been

presented for payment elsewhere; or

any combination of the above.

In addition, any amounts to be paid on this Security will be paid and any Ordinary

Shares to be issued to a holder on Conversion of a Security will be issued to the

holder, net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official

interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of

the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant

to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the

implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding”), and no

Additional Amounts will be required to be paid and no additional Ordinary Shares

will be required to be issued on account of any such deduction or withholding.

(b) No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment

of, or in respect of, the principal of or interest on, this Security to any such holder who is a

fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



extent such payment would, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any

political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, be treated as being derived or

received for tax purposes by a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a

member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to

such Additional Amounts had it been the holder of this Security.

(c) Whenever in this Security there is mentioned, in any context, any

payment of, or in respect of, the principal of or interest on, this Security, such mention shall

be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in

Section 6(a) to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be

payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such Section.

(d) At least 10 days prior to each date on which any payment under or

with respect to this Security is due and payable, if the Issuer will be obligated to pay

Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal

Agent and the Paying Agent an Officer’s Certificate (as hereinafter defined) stating the fact

that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth

such other information necessary to enable the Fiscal Agent and such Paying Agent to pay

such Additional Amounts to the holders on the payment date; provided, however, that if

10 days prior to each date on which any such payment is due and payable the amount of

such payment has not yet been determined, the Issuer shall notify the Fiscal Agent of such

amount promptly after such amount has been determined.

7 (a) Prior to the commencement of a Winding Up of the Issuer (as hereinafter

defined) (i) the obligations of the Issuer to make any payment of the principal of

and interest on or any other amounts (including Additional Amounts) payable in

respect of this Security shall be conditional upon the Issuer being Solvent (as

hereinafter defined) at the time the obligation to make such payment falls due and

(ii) no payment of principal, interest, Additional Amounts or any other amount

payable in respect of this Security shall be made in respect of this Security except

to the extent that the Issuer may make any such payment and still be Solvent

immediately thereafter.

For the purposes of this Section 7, the Issuer shall be considered to be

“Solvent” if (A) the Issuer is able to pay all its debts as and when they become due and

payable and (B) the Issuer's assets exceed its liabilities, in each case determined on an

unconsolidated stand-alone basis. A certificate as to whether the Issuer is Solvent signed

by two authorised officers of the Issuer, an auditor of the Issuer or, if the Issuer is being

wound up, its liquidator, shall be conclusive evidence of the information contained therein

in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error. Neither the Fiscal Agent nor

any Paying Agent is obliged to obtain any such certificate prior to any due date for payment

of any amount in respect of this Security or at any other time. In the absence of such a

certificate, the Fiscal Agent, each Paying Agent and the holder of this Security shall be

entitled to assume (unless the contrary is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent and will be

Solvent immediately after any payment referred to above is made.


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



(b) On the Winding-Up of the Issuer, the rights and claims of the holder

of this Security against the Issuer to recover any sums payable in respect of this Security

shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the obligations of the Issuer to Other

Creditors (as hereinafter defined), to the extent that all obligations of the Issuer to Other

Creditors shall be entitled to be paid in full prior to any payment of the principal of or

interest on or any other amounts (including Additional Amounts) payable in respect of this

Security and, subject to Section 8A, shall rank pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities

and ahead of Junior Ranking Securities.

(c) If there is a Winding Up in respect of the Issuer and, notwithstanding

paragraph (b) above, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent or the holder of this Security

receives any payment or distribution of the assets of the Issuer of any kind or character,

whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which

may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the

Issuer being subordinated to the payment of this Security, before all the claims of Other

Creditors are paid in full or payment thereof is duly provided for, and if such fact shall, at

or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to the Fiscal

Agent, the Paying Agent or, as the case may be, the holder of this Security, then and in

such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the

trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other

person making payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer for application to the payment

of all claims of the Other Creditors remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all

such claims in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for

the account of the Other Creditors.

(d) Neither the Issuer nor a holder of this Security has any contractual

right to set off any sum at any time due and payable to a holder or the Issuer (as applicable)

under or in relation to this Security against amounts owing by the holder to the Issuer or

by the Issuer to the holder (as applicable).

(e) On a Winding Up of the Issuer, the holder of this Security shall only

be entitled to prove for any sums payable in respect of this Security as a debt which is

subject to and contingent upon prior payment in full of the obligations of the Issuer to the

Other Creditors, and the holder of this Security waives to the fullest extent permitted by

law any right to prove in the Winding Up as a creditor of the Issuer ranking for payment in

any other manner.

(f) The provisions of this Section shall not affect or prejudice the

payment of any amounts by the Issuer in respect of costs, charges, expenses, liabilities,

indemnities or remuneration of the Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent pursuant to the Fiscal

Agency Agreement or the rights and remedies of the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent in

respect thereof.

(g) For the purposes of this Section 7, “Other Creditors” means all

present and future creditors of the Issuer (including but not limited to depositors of the


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



Issuer) whose claims (i) would be entitled to be admitted in the Winding Up of the Issuer

and (ii) are not in respect of Equal Ranking Securities or Junior Ranking Securities.

(h) For the purposes of this Section 7 and Section 9, “Winding Up” shall

mean any procedure whereby the Issuer may be wound-up, dissolved, liquidated or cease

to exist as a body corporate whether brought or instigated by a holder of this Security or

any other person and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, but shall exclude

any Winding Up under or in connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction

not involving our bankruptcy or insolvency where the obligations of the Issuer are assumed

by a successor to which all, or substantially all, of the property, assets and undertaking of

the Issuer are transferred or where an arrangement with similar effect not involving a

bankruptcy or insolvency is implemented.

(i) For the purposes of this Section 7, “Equal Ranking Securities”

means any present or future instrument that ranks in a Winding Up of the Issuer as the most

junior claim in the Winding Up of the Issuer ranking senior to Junior Ranking Securities,

and includes (i) the Perpetual Capital Floating Rate Notes issued under the trust deed dated

30 October 1986 between the Issuer and Bankers Trustee Company Limited, as amended

from time to time (except in so far as such amendment is inconsistent with such ranking)

and (ii) any other instruments issued after 1 January 2013 as Relevant Tier 2 Securities (as

defined in Section 8A.4).

(j) For the purposes of this Section 7, “Junior Ranking Securities”

means any present or future instrument that (i) qualifies as Tier 1 Capital and (ii) by its

terms is, or is expressed to be, subordinated in a Winding Up of the Issuer to the claims of

holders of the Securities of this series and other Equal Ranking Securities.

(k) Any amount not paid due to Section 7(a) or Section 9(d), remains a

debt owing to the holder of this Security by the Issuer until it is paid and will be payable

on the first date on which payment can be made in compliance with the relevant Section.

8 (a) If specified on the face of this Security and subject to the prior written

approval of Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (“APRA”) having been

obtained, the Securities of this series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part,

at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Principal

Amount of the Securities to be redeemed together with interest accrued to the date

fixed for redemption, if a Regulatory Event occurs, provided, however, that (1) the

Issuer shall deliver to the holder of this Security an opinion of counsel confirming

that the conditions that must be satisfied for such redemption have occurred and (2)

the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem this Security unless the Security is

replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory Capital of the same or better

quality and the replacement of the Security is done under conditions that are

sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied that the Issuer’s

capital position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if applicable, Level 3 (each as defined in

Section 8A.4 below) is well above its minimum capital requirements after the


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



Issuer elects to redeem this Security. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice

of redemption of Securities pursuant to this subsection (a), the Issuer will deliver

to the Fiscal Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect

such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing

that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem the Securities

have occurred.

For the purposes of this Security, “Regulatory Event” shall mean the receipt by the

directors of the Issuer of (x) an opinion from a reputable legal counsel that as a result of

any amendment to, clarification of or change (including any announcement of a change

that has been or will be introduced) in, any law or regulation in any Relevant Jurisdiction,

or any official administrative pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or

applying such laws or regulations, which amendment, clarification or change is effective,

or pronouncement, action or decision is announced, after the Issue Date or (y) an official

written statement from APRA that, in each case, the Issuer is not or will not be entitled to

treat all Securities of a series as Tier 2 Capital (as defined in Section 8A.4), provided that,

in each case, on the Issue Date, the Issuer did not expect that matters giving rise to the

Regulatory Event would occur.

For the purposes of this Security, “Regulatory Capital” shall mean a Tier 1 Capital Security

or a Tier 2 Capital Security.

(b) If specified on the face of this Security and subject to the prior

written approval of APRA having been obtained, the Securities of this series may be

redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal

to 100% of the Principal Amount of the Securities to be redeemed, together with interest

accrued to the date fixed for redemption, if, as a result of any amendment to, or change in,

the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in an

official interpretation or application of such laws or regulations, which amendment or

change is effective after the Issue Date and which amendment or change the Issuer did not

expect as of the Issue Date, the Issuer will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts

(as provided in Section 6(a) hereof), and such obligation cannot be avoided within 60 days

of such tax event by the Issuer by filing a form, making an election or taking some

reasonable measure that in the Issuer’s sole judgment will not be adverse to the Issuer and

will involve no material cost to the Issuer, provided, however, that (1) the Issuer shall

deliver to the holder of this Security an opinion of counsel confirming that the conditions

that must be satisfied for such redemption have occurred; and (2) the Issuer will not be

permitted to redeem this Security unless the Security is replaced concurrently or

beforehand with Regulatory Capital (as defined above) of the same or better quality and

the replacement of the Security is done under conditions that are sustainable for the Issuer’s

income capacity or APRA is satisfied that the Issuer’s capital position at Level 1, Level 2

and, if applicable, Level 3 is well above its minimum capital requirements after the Issuer

elects to redeem this Security. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice of redemption

of Securities pursuant to this subsection (b), the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an

Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the

right of the Issuer to so redeem the Securities have occurred.

(c) If this section is specified as applicable on the face hereof, this

Security is subject to redemption, on the Optional Redemption Date, as a whole but not in

part, at the option of the Issuer (but subject to the prior written approval of APRA having

been obtained and provided that the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem this Security

unless the Security is replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory Capital of the

same or better quality and the replacement of the Security is done under conditions that are

sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied that the Issuer’s capital

position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if applicable, Level 3 is well above its minimum capital

requirements after the Issuer elects to redeem this Security), at the Redemption Price

specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the Principal Amount of this

Security), together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest (unless such

date is an Interest Payment Date) to the Optional Redemption Date (but interest

installments due on or prior to the Optional Redemption Date will be payable to the holder

of record of this Security at the close of business on the relevant record dates).

(d) In the case of any partial redemption of Securities, the Issuer will

give the holder written notice of the Principal Amount of the Securities to be redeemed not

less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date unless otherwise

specified on the face hereof for the Outstanding Securities of a like tenor not previously

called for redemption, by such method as the Fiscal Agent shall deem fair and appropriate

and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions equal to at least the

minimum authorized denomination of such Securities.

(e) Notices to redeem Securities shall be given in writing mailed, first-

class postage prepaid, to each holder of Securities at his address as it appears in the register

hereinabove referred to. Such notice will be given once not more than 60 days nor less

than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. If by reason of the suspension of

regular mail service, or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give notice

to the holders of Securities in the manner prescribed herein, then such notification in lieu

thereof as shall be made by the Issuer or by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of and at the

instruction of the Issuer shall constitute sufficient provision of such notice, if such

notification shall, so far as may be practicable, approximate the terms and conditions of the

mailed notice in lieu of which it is given. Neither the failure to give notice nor any defect

in any notice given to any particular holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of any

notice with respect to that holder or any other holders. Such notices will be deemed to

have been given on the date of such mailing. Notices to redeem Securities shall specify

the date fixed for redemption, the applicable redemption price, the place or places of

payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Securities to

be redeemed (or portion thereof in the case of a partial redemption), that interest accrued

to the date fixed for redemption (unless such date is an Interest Payment Date) will be paid

as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon will cease to

accrue. If the redemption is pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof, such notice


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



shall also state that the conditions precedent to such redemption have occurred and state

that the Issuer has elected to exercise its option to redeem the Securities pursuant to

Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), as the case may be.

(f) Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be

surrendered with, if the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent so requires, due endorsement by, or a

written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent duly

executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Issuer

shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the registered holder

of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of like form and tenor,

of any aggregate Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion

of the principal of the Registered Security so surrendered.

(g) The Issuer and any of its Related Entities (as defined in Section

8A.4) may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, at any time purchase

this Security in the open market or otherwise, provided that the Issuer may not purchase,

or procure that any of its Related Entities purchase, any Security without the prior written

consent of APRA.

Holders of this Security should not expect that APRA’s approval will be

given for any redemption or purchase of this Security.

8A.1 A “Non-Viability Trigger Event” means the earlier of:

(a) the issuance to the Issuer of a written determination from APRA that conversion or

write-off of Relevant Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers

that the Issuer would become non-viable; or

(b) a determination by APRA, notified to the Issuer in writing, that without a public

sector injection of capital, or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-

viable,

each such determination being a “Non-Viability Determination”.

8A.2 OPTION 1: CONVERSION WITH A FALL BACK TO WRITE-OFF

(a) If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to subsection (e) of this Section

8A.2, such Principal Amount of the Securities will immediately Convert as

is required by the Non-Viability Determination provided that:

(A) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Section

8A.1(a) and such Non-Viability Determination does not require all

Relevant Securities to be converted into Ordinary Shares or written-

off, such Principal Amount of the Securities shall Convert as is


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with subsection

(a)(ii) of this Section 8A.2) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable

without further conversion or write-off; and

(B) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Section

8A.1(b), all the Principal Amount of the Securities will immediately

Convert;

the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Securities which must be

Converted in accordance with subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.2, on

the following basis:

(A) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1

Securities; and

(B) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares or write-off of all

Relevant Tier 1 Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the

requirements of subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.2 (and

provided that as a result of the conversion or write-off of Relevant

Tier 1 Capital Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-

Viability Determination), Convert a Principal Amount of Securities

and convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off a number or principal

amount of other Relevant Tier 2 Securities on an approximately

pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of the

Issuer, fair and reasonable (subject to such adjustment as the Issuer

may determine to take into account the effect on marketable parcels

and the need to round to whole numbers the number of Ordinary

Shares and the authorized denominations of the Principal Amount

of any Securities or the number or principal amount of other

Relevant Tier 2 Securities remaining on issue, and the need to effect

the conversion immediately) and, for the purposes of the foregoing,

where the specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant

Tier 2 Securities is not the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities,

the Issuer may treat them as if converted into a single currency of

the Issuer’s choice at such rate of exchange as the Issuer in good

faith considers reasonable,

provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate

Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities;

on the Trigger Event Date, the Issuer shall determine the Securities or

portions thereof as to which the Conversion is to take effect and in making

that determination may make any decisions with respect to the identity of

the holders of Securities at that time as may be necessary or desirable to

ensure Conversion occurs in an orderly manner, including disregarding any


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



transfers of Securities that have not been settled or registered at that time,

provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate

Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities;

the Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to

subsection (a)(iii) of this Section 8A.2 (a “Trigger Event Notice”) as soon

as practicable to the Fiscal Agent and holders of Securities, which must

specify:

(A) the Trigger Event Date;

(B) the Principal Amount of the Securities Converted; and

(C) the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant

Securities converted or written-off;

none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion

of Securities as required by subsection (a)(i) of this Section 8A.2:

(A) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

(B) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice; and

(C) any failure or delay in quotation of Ordinary Shares to be issued on

Conversion; and

on and from the Trigger Event Date, subject to Sections 8A.2(e) and

8A.2(f)(iii)(C), the Issuer shall treat the holder of any Security or portion

thereof which is required to be Converted as the holder of the relevant

number of Ordinary Shares and will take all such steps, including updating

any register, required to record the Conversion and the issuance of such

Ordinary Shares.

(b) Where a Principal Amount of Securities is required to be Converted under this

Section 8A.2, a holder of Securities or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion

wishing to receive Ordinary Shares must, no later than the Trigger Event Date (or,

in the case where Section 8A.2(d)(vii) applies, within 30 days of the date on which

Ordinary Shares are issued upon such Conversion), have provided to the Issuer:

its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name

it directs the Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title

and receipt of any certificate or holding statement in respect of any

Ordinary Shares;


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



the security account details of such holder of Securities in CHESS (being

the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System of Australia operated by

the ASX or its affiliates or successors) or such other account to which the

Ordinary Shares may be credited; and

such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the

purposes of enabling it to issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares

to the holder of Securities,

and the Issuer has no duty to seek or obtain such information.

(c) Subject to Section 8A.2(d) and Section 8A.2(e), if, in respect of a Conversion of

Securities, the Issuer fails to issue, on the Trigger Event Date, the Conversion

Number of Ordinary Shares in respect of the relevant Principal Amount of such

Securities to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the relevant holder of

Securities on the Trigger Event Date or any other nominee where Section 8A.2(d)

applies, the Principal Amount of such Securities which would otherwise be subject

to Conversion shall remain on issue and outstanding until:

the Ordinary Shares are issued to, or in accordance with the instructions of,

the holder of such Securities; or

such Securities are Written-Off in accordance with the terms hereof;

provided, however, that the sole right of the holder of Securities in respect of

Securities or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion is its right to be issued

Ordinary Shares upon Conversion (subject to its compliance with Section 8A.2(b)

or to receive the proceeds from their sale pursuant to Section 8A.2(d), as applicable)

and the remedy of such holder in respect of the Issuer’s failure to issue the Ordinary

Shares is limited (subject always to Section 8A.2(e)) to seeking an order for specific

performance of the Issuer’s obligation to issue the Ordinary Shares to the Holder

or where Section 8A.2(d) applies to the nominee and to receive such proceeds of

sale, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Securities. This Section

8A.2(c) does not affect the obligation of the Issuer to issue the Ordinary Shares

when required in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) If, in respect of a Security and a holder of that Security, the Security or portion

thereof is required to be Converted and:

the holder of the Security has notified the Issuer that it does not wish to

receive Ordinary Shares as a result of the Conversion (whether entirely or

to the extent specified in the notice), which notice may be given at any time

prior to the Trigger Event Date;


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



the Securities are held by a registered holder of the Security whose address

in the register is a place outside Australia or who the Issuer otherwise

believes may not be a resident of Australia (a “Foreign Holder”);

the holder of that Security is a Clearing System Holder;

for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the holder of the Security)

the Issuer has not received the information required by subsection (b) of

this Section 8A.2 prior to the Trigger Event Date and the lack of such

information would prevent the Issuer from issuing the Ordinary Shares to

the holder of the Security on the Trigger Event Date; or

a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the Ordinary

Shares issued on the Conversion,

then, on the Trigger Event Date:

where subsection (d)(i), (d)(ii) or (d)(v) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the

Issuer shall issue the Ordinary Shares to the holder of the Security only to

the extent (if at all) that:

(A) where subsection (d)(i) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the holder of

the Security has notified the Issuer that it wishes to receive them;

(B) where subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the Issuer is

satisfied that the laws of both the Commonwealth of Australia and

the Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue of

Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which the Issuer is

not bound to enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance

with conditions which the Issuer in its absolute discretion regards

as acceptable and not unduly onerous; and

(C) where subsection (d)(v) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the issue is net

of the FATCA Withholding;

and, to the extent the Issuer is not obliged to issue Ordinary Shares to the

holder of the Security, the Issuer will issue the balance of the Ordinary

Shares to the nominee in accordance with subsection (d)(vii);

otherwise, subject to applicable law, the Issuer will issue the balance of

Ordinary Shares in respect of the holder of the Security to a competent

nominee (which may not be the Issuer or any of its Related Entities) and

will promptly notify such holder of the name of and contact information for

the nominee and the number of Ordinary Shares issued to the nominee on

its behalf and, subject to applicable law and:


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



(A) subject to subsection (d)(vii)(B) of this Section 8A.2, the nominee

will as soon as reasonably possible and no later than 35 days after

issue of the Ordinary Shares sell those Ordinary Shares and pay a

cash amount equal to the net proceeds received, after deducting any

applicable brokerage, stamp duty and other taxes and charges, to

the holder of the Security;

(B) where subsection (d)(iii) or (d)(iv) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the

nominee will hold such Ordinary Shares and will transfer Ordinary

Shares to such holder (or, where paragraph (d)(iii) applies, the

person for whom the Clearing System Holder holds the Security)

promptly after such person provides the nominee with the

information required to be provided by such holder under Section

8A.2(b) (as if a reference in Section 8A.2(b) to the Issuer is a

reference to the nominee and a reference to the issue of Ordinary

Shares is a reference to the transfer of Ordinary Shares) but only

where such information is provided to the nominee within 30 days

of the date on which Ordinary Shares are issued to the nominee

upon Conversion of such Security and failing which the nominee

will sell the Ordinary Shares and pay the proceeds to such person

in accordance with subsection (d)(vii)(A) of this Section 8A.2; and

(C) where subsection (d)(v) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the nominee

shall deal with Ordinary Shares the subject of a FATCA

Withholding and any proceeds of their disposal in accordance with

FATCA;

nothing in this subsection (d) shall affect the Conversion of the Securities

of a holder who is not a person to which any of subsections (d)(i) to (d)(v)

(inclusive) of this Section 8A.2 applies; and

for the purpose of this Section 8A.2(d), neither the Issuer nor the nominee

owes any obligations or duties to the holders in relation to the price at which

Ordinary Shares are sold or has any liability for any loss suffered by a

holder as a result of the sale of Ordinary Shares.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8A.2, where Securities are

required to be Converted on the Trigger Event Date and Conversion of the relevant

Principal Amount of the Securities that are subject to Conversion has not been

effected within 5 Business Days after the relevant Trigger Event Date for any reason

(including an Inability Event), (A) the Principal Amount of each Security which,

but for this subsection (e), would be Converted, will not be Converted and instead

will be Written-Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date and (B) the

Issuer shall notify the Fiscal Agent and the holders of the Securities of the foregoing

as promptly as practically possible.


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



(f) Each holder of Securities irrevocably:

consents to becoming a member of the Issuer upon the Conversion of the

relevant Principal Amount of the Securities as required by this Section 8A.2

and agrees to be bound by the constitution of the Issuer, in each case in

respect of the Ordinary Shares issued to such holder on Conversion;

acknowledges and agrees that it is obliged to accept Ordinary Shares upon

a Conversion of the Securities it holds notwithstanding anything that might

otherwise affect a Conversion of such Principal Amount of Securities

including:

(A) any change in the financial position of the Issuer since the issue of

such Securities;

(B) any disruption to the market or potential market for the Ordinary

Shares or to capital markets generally; or

(C) any breach by the Issuer of any obligation in connection with such

Securities;

acknowledges and agrees that where Section 8A.2(a) applies:

(A) there are no other conditions to a Non-Viability Trigger Event

occurring as and when provided in Section 8A.1;

(B) Conversion must occur immediately on the occurrence of a Non-

Viability Trigger Event and that may result in disruption or failures

in trading or dealings in the Securities;

(C) it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Conversion and

the Security does not confer a right to vote at any meeting of

members of the Issuer; and

(D) the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at the

time of issue, or at all;

acknowledges and agrees that where Section 8A.2(e) applies, no conditions

or events will affect the operation of that Section and such holder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under that Section and

has no claim against the Issuer arising in connection with the application of

that Section;

acknowledges and agrees that such holder has no right to request a

Conversion of any Principal Amount of any Securities or to determine


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



whether (or in what circumstances) the Principal Amount of Securities it

holds are Converted; and

acknowledges and agrees that none of the following shall prevent, impede

or delay the Conversion or (where relevant) Write-Off of the Principal

Amount of Securities:

(A) any failure to or delay in the conversion or write-off of other

Relevant Securities;

(B) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice or other notice

required by this Section 8A.2;

(C) any failure or delay in quotation of the Ordinary Shares to be issued

on Conversion;

(D) any failure or delay by a holder of a Security or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Section 8A.2(h); and

(E) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount

of Securities to be Converted in accordance with Section

8A.2(a)(ii)(B) or 8A.2(a)(iii).

(g) For the purposes of this Section 8A.2 “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of

a Security or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion and a Trigger

Event Date:

the Security or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion will

not be Converted on that date and will not be Converted or redeemed under

the terms hereof on any subsequent date; and

with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant

holder of the Security or portion thereof (including any right to receive any

payment thereunder including payments of principal and interest both in the

future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to

such Security or portion thereof are immediately and irrevocably

terminated and written-off; and

“Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.

(h) Subject to Section 9A.1(c)(ii), any Security which is to be Converted or Written-

Off only in part shall be surrendered with, if the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent so

requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form

satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the holder thereof

or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Issuer shall execute, and the

Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the registered holder of such Security


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



without service charge, a new Security or Securities of this series of like form and

tenor, of any aggregate Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for the non-

Converted or non-Written-Off portion of the Principal Amount of the Security so

surrendered.

(i) If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, the Issuer must perform the

obligations in respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by

the Issuer, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

(j) Where a Security is Converted or Written-Off only in part, then the amount of

interest payable in respect of that Security on each Interest Payment Date falling

after that Trigger Event Date will be reduced and calculated on the Principal

Amount of that Security as reduced on the date of the Conversion or Write-Off.

8A.3 OPTION 2: WRITE-OFF

(a) If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

on the Trigger Event Date, such Principal Amount of the Securities will

immediately be Written-Off as is required by the Non-Viability

Determination provided that:

(A) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Section

8A.1(a) and such Non-Viability Determination does not require all

Relevant Securities to be converted into Ordinary Shares or written-

off, such Principal Amount of the Securities shall be immediately

Written-Off as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance

with subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 8A.3) to satisfy APRA that

the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off; and

(B) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Section

8A.1(b), all the Principal Amount of the Securities will immediately

be Written-Off;

the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Securities which must be

Written-Off in accordance with subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.3,

on the following basis:

(A) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1

Securities; and

(B) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares or write-off of those

Relevant Tier 1 Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the

requirements of subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.3 (and

provided that as a result of the conversion or write-off of Relevant

Tier 1 Capital Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



Viability Determination), Write-Off a Principal Amount of

Securities and convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off other

Relevant Tier 2 Securities on an approximately pro-rata basis or in

a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of the Issuer, fair and

reasonable and, for the purposes of the foregoing, where the

specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant Tier 2

Securities is not the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities, the

Issuer may treat them as if converted into a single currency of the

Issuer’s choice at such rate of exchange as the Issuer in good faith

considers reasonable,

provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate Write-

Off of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities;

(b) on the Trigger Event Date, the Issuer shall determine the Securities or portions

thereof as to which the Write-Off is to take effect and in making that determination

may make any decisions with respect to the identity of the holders of Securities at

that time as may be necessary or desirable to ensure Write-Off occurs in an orderly

manner, including disregarding any transfers of Securities that have not been settled

or registered at that time, provided that such determination does not impede or delay

the immediate Write-Off of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities;

(c) the Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to subsection (b) of this

Section 8A.3 (a “Trigger Event Notice”) as soon as practicable to the Fiscal Agent

and the holders of Securities, which must specify:

the Trigger Event Date;

the Principal Amount of the Securities Written-Off ; and

the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant Securities

converted or written-off;

(d) none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Write-Off of

Securities as required by subsection (a)(i) of this Section 8A.3:

any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;

any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Securities to be Written-Off in accordance with Section 8A.3(a)(ii)(B) or

8A.3(b); and


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



(iv) any failure or delay by a holder of a Security or any other party in complying

with the provisions of Section 8A.3(g).

(e) Each holder of Securities irrevocably:

(i) acknowledges and agrees that no conditions or events will affect the

operation of this Section and such holder of Securities will not have any

rights to vote in respect of any 8A.3 Write-Off under this Section; and

(ii) acknowledges and agrees that any failure or delay in Writing-Off a Security

held by the holder pursuant to the provisions of Section 8A.3(g), shall not

prevent, impede or delay the Write-Off of such Security.

(f) For the purposes of this Section 8A.3 “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of

a Security or portion thereof and a Trigger Event Date:

the Security or portion thereof will not be redeemed under the terms hereof

on any subsequent date; and

the rights of the relevant holder of the Security (including any right to

receive any payment thereunder including payments of principal and

interest both in the future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event

Date) in relation to such Security or portion thereof are immediately and

irrevocably terminated and written-off; and

obligations in respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by

the Issuer, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

respect of that Security on each Interest Payment Date falling after that Trigger

Event Date will be reduced and calculated on the Principal Amount of that Security

as reduced on the date of the Write-off.

each holder (or a nominee in accordance with Section 8A.2(b) or 8A.2(d)

or appropriate to effect the substitution of an Approved NOHC as the provider of

the ordinary shares on Conversion in the manner contemplated by the terms hereof,

the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

holders of Securities or, in the case of subsection (a) thereof, designated prospective

purchasers of Securities with certain information is hereby incorporated mutatis

mutandis by reference herein.

12 If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Fiscal Agent, the Issuer shall execute,

and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new

Security of like form, tenor and Principal Amount, bearing a number not

contemporaneously outstanding.

If there is delivered to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent (i) evidence to their

satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or

indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of each of them

harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent that such Security

has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request

the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen

Security a new Security of like form, tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number

not contemporaneously outstanding.

about to mature or to be redeemed or repaid shall become mutilated, destroyed, lost or

stolen, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment

of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) upon

compliance by the holder with the provisions of this paragraph.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 12 in lieu of any

mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, shall constitute an original additional

Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

Any new Security delivered pursuant to this Section 12 shall be so dated

that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such exchange.

the Securities of this series, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or to give consents or

waivers or take other actions where such modification, amendment, supplement,

consent, waiver or other action described above may affect the eligibility of the

Security as Tier 2 Capital (as defined in Section 8A.4). Any such modification,

binding on the holder of this Security and on all future holders of this Security and

of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange

heretofore or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this

Security. The Fiscal Agency Agreement and the terms of the Securities may be

modified or amended by the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent, without the consent of any

holders of Securities, for the purpose of (i) adding to the covenants of the Issuer for

the benefit of the holders of Securities, (ii) surrendering any right or power

conferred upon the Issuer, (iii) securing the Securities pursuant to the requirements

Agency Agreement, (vi) is made in accordance with the Issuer’s adjustment rights

in Schedule A or (vii) any other purpose which the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent may

determine that is not inconsistent with the terms of the Securities and does not

adversely affect the interest of any holder of Securities, to all of which each holder

of any Security, by acceptance thereof, consents provided that, in the case of a

series of Subordinated Securities, the prior written approval of APRA is required

to modify, amend or supplement the terms of Securities of this series or, insofar as

respects the Securities of this series, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or to give

consents or waivers or take other actions where such modification, amendment,

supplement, consent, waiver or other action described above may affect the

eligibility of the Security as Tier 2 Capital (as defined in Section 8A.4).

Security or of the Fiscal Agency Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation of

the Issuer, which, except in so far as the Security is subordinated and liable to be

converted or written-off as provided herein, is absolute and unconditional, to pay

the principal of and interest (including any Additional Amounts payable pursuant

to Section 6) on this Security at the times, places and rates, and in the coin or

currency, herein prescribed.

Schedule A


SCHEDULE OF CONVERSION MECHANICS


1 CONVERSION

If the Issuer must Convert a Principal Amount of a Security in accordance with the

terms hereof, then, subject to this Schedule A and Section 9A.1 and unless the

Addendum specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number applies, the

following provisions apply:

(a) the Issuer will allot and issue on the Trigger Event Date a number of

Ordinary Shares in respect of the Principal Amount of that Security equal

to the Conversion Number, where the Conversion Number (but subject to

the Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion

Number) is a number calculated according to the following formula:

Conversion Number = =

Principal Amount

(99% × VWAP)

where:

“VWAP” (expressed in dollars and cents or equivalent in the case of a

Specified Currency other than Australian dollars) means the VWAP during

the VWAP Period and where the “Maximum Conversion Number” means

a number calculated according to the following formula:

Maximum Conversion

= Number

=

Principal Amount

Issue Date VWAP × 0.2


(b) on the Trigger Event Date, the rights of each holder of a Security

(including to payment of interest with respect to such Principal Amount,

both in the future and as accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date)

in relation to each Security or portion thereof that is being Converted will

be immediately and irrevocably terminated for an amount equal to the

Principal Amount of that Security that is being Converted and the Issuer

will apply that Principal Amount by way of payment for subscription for

the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued under Section 1(a) of this

Schedule A. Each holder of the Security is taken to have irrevocably

directed that any amount payable under Section 1 of this Schedule A is to

be applied as provided for in Section 1 of this Schedule A and no holder

of the Security has any right to payment in any other way;

(c) any calculation under Section 1(a) of this Schedule A shall be, unless the

context requires otherwise, be rounded to four decimal places provided


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



that if the total number of additional Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a

holder of the Security in respect of the aggregate Principal Amount of the

Securities it holds which is being Converted includes a fraction of an

Ordinary Share, that fraction of an Ordinary Share will be disregarded; and

(d) the rights attaching to Ordinary Shares issued as a result of Conversion do

not take effect until 5.00pm (Melbourne, Australia time) on the Trigger

Event Date (unless another time is required for Conversion on that date).

At that time all other rights conferred or restrictions imposed on that

Security under the terms hereof will no longer have effect to the extent of

the Principal Amount of that Security being Converted (except for the right

to receive the Ordinary Shares as set forth in this Section 1 of this Schedule

A and Section 8A.2 and except for rights relating to interest which is

payable but has not been paid on or before the Trigger Event Date which

will continue).

2 ADJUSTMENTS TO VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in the terms hereof:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period,

Ordinary Shares have been quoted on the ASX as cum dividend or cum

any other distribution or entitlement and the relevant Principal Amount of

the Securities will Convert into Ordinary Shares after the date those

Ordinary Shares no longer carry that dividend or any other distribution or

entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those

Ordinary Shares have been quoted cum dividend or cum any other

distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount (“Cum Value”)

equal to:

(i) (in case of a dividend or other distribution), the amount of that

dividend or other distribution including, if the dividend or other

distribution is franked, the amount that would be included in the

assessable income of a recipient of the dividend or other distribution

who is both a resident of Australia and a natural person under the

Tax Act;

(ii) (in the case of any other entitlement that is not a dividend or other

distribution under Section 2(a)(i) of this Schedule A which is traded

on the ASX on any of those Business Days), the volume weighted

average sale price of all such entitlements sold on the ASX during

the VWAP Period on the Business Days on which those

entitlements were traded; or


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



(iii) (in the case of any other entitlement which is not traded on the ASX

during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement as

reasonably determined by the directors of the Issuer; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, Ordinary

Shares have been quoted on the ASX as ex dividend or ex any other

distribution or entitlement, and the relevant Principal Amount of the

Securities will Convert into Ordinary Shares which would be entitled to

receive the relevant dividend or other distribution or entitlement, the

VWAP on the Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been

quoted ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement shall be

increased by the Cum Value.

3 ADJUSTMENTS TO VWAP FOR DIVISIONS AND SIMILAR

TRANSACTIONS

(a) Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change in the number

of the Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a division, consolidation or

reclassification of the Issuer’s share capital (not involving any cash

payment or other distribution or compensation to or by holders of Ordinary

Shares) (a “Reorganisation”), in calculating the VWAP for that VWAP

Period the daily VWAP applicable on each day in the relevant VWAP

Period which falls before the date on which trading in Ordinary Shares is

conducted on a post Reorganisation basis shall be adjusted by multiplying

such daily VWAP by the following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 3(a) of this

Schedule A will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on holders

of the Securities under these terms and these terms will be construed

accordingly. Any such adjustment must be promptly notified to all holders

of the Securities.

4 ADJUSTMENTS TO ISSUE DATE VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, corresponding adjustments

to VWAP will be made in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 of this Schedule

A during the 20 Business Day period over which VWAP is calculated for the


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date

adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with Sections 5 to 7 of this Schedule A

(inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

5 ADJUSTMENTS TO ISSUE DATE VWAP FOR BONUS ISSUES

(a) Subject to Section 5(b) of this Schedule A below, if at any time after the

Issue Date the Issuer makes a pro rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to

holders of Ordinary Shares generally, the Issue Date VWAP will be

adjusted immediately in accordance with the following formula:

V =

V

V


= V

o X



RD


RD + RN

where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application

of this formula;

V

o

means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately prior to the

application of this formula;

RN means the number of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the bonus

issue; and

RD means the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately prior to the

allotment of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the bonus issue.

(b) Section 5(a) of this Schedule A does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued

as part of a bonus share plan, employee or executive share plan, executive

option plan, share top up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend

reinvestment plan.

(c) For the purpose of Section 5(a) of this Schedule A, an issue will be

regarded as a pro rata issue notwithstanding that the Issuer does not make

offers to some or all holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses

outside Australia, provided that in so doing the Issuer is not in

contravention of the ASX Listing Rules.

(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this Section

5 of this Schedule A for any offer of Ordinary Shares not covered by

Section 5(a) of this Schedule A, including a rights issue or other essentially

pro rata issue.


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of Ordinary Shares except

as covered by Section 5(a) of this Schedule A shall not in any way restrict

the Issuer from issuing Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees

fit nor require any consent or concurrence of any holders of the Security.

6 ADJUSTMENT TO ISSUE DATE VWAP FOR DIVISIONS AND SIMILAR

TRANSACTIONS

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date, a Reorganisation occurs, the Issuer shall

adjust the Issue Date VWAP by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP

applicable on the Business Day immediately before the date of any such

Reorganisation by the following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 6(a) of this

Schedule A will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on holders

of Securities under these terms and these terms will be construed

accordingly.

(c) Each holder of a Security acknowledges that the Issuer may, consolidate,

divide or reclassify securities so that there is a lesser or greater number of

Ordinary Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such

action requiring any consent or concurrence of any holders of Securities.

7 NO ADJUSTMENT TO ISSUE DATE VWAP IN CERTAIN

CIRCUMSTANCES

Despite the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Schedule A, no adjustment

shall be made to the Issue Date VWAP where such adjustment (rounded if

applicable) would be less than one percent of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

8 ANNOUNCEMENT OF ADJUSTMENT TO ISSUE DATE VWAP

The Issuer will notify the holder of Securities (an “Adjustment Notice”) of any

adjustment to the Issue Date VWAP under this Schedule A within 10 Business

Days of the Issuer determining the adjustment and the adjustment set out in the

announcement will be final and binding.

9 ORDINARY SHARES


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)



Each Ordinary Share issued or arising upon Conversion ranks pari passu with all

other fully paid Ordinary Shares. The Holders of Securities agree not to trade

Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion (except as permitted by the Corporations

Act 2001 of Australia, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules) until ANZ

has taken such steps as are required by the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia,

other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules for the Ordinary Shares to be

freely tradeable without such further disclosure or other action and agree to allow

ANZ to impose a holding lock or to refuse to register a transfer in respect of

Ordinary Shares until such time.

10 LISTING ORDINARY SHARES ISSUED ON CONVERSION

The Issuer shall use all reasonable endeavours to list the Ordinary Shares issued

upon Conversion of the Securities on the ASX.

11 ALTERNATIVE CONVERSION NUMBER

If the Issuer must Convert a Principal Amount of Securities in accordance with the

terms hereof and the face of this Security specifies that the Alternative Conversion

Number applies, then:

(a) Section 1 of this Schedule A applies on the basis that the Conversion

Number for the purposes of Section 1(a) of this Schedule A is the number

of Ordinary Shares specified on the face of this Security as the Alternative

Conversion Number (subject to the Alternative Conversion Number being

no more than the Maximum Conversion Number as determined in

accordance with Section 1(a) of Schedule A); and

(b) Sections 2 to 8 (inclusive) of this Schedule A do not apply to the

Alternative Conversion Number.

Schedule 3 – Description of rights and liabilities attaching to Ordinary Shares

The rights and liabilities attaching to Ordinary Shares are set out in the constitution of the

Issuer ("Constitution") and are also regulated by the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules

and the general law. A summary of the key rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares is as

follows.


Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares or class of shares, a registered

holder of an Ordinary Share ("Shareholder") is entitled to attend and vote at a general

meeting of the Issuer. Any resolution being considered at a general meeting is decided on a

show of hands unless a poll is held. On a show of hands, each Shareholder present has one

vote.


On a poll, each Shareholder has one vote for each Ordinary Share. Partly paid Ordinary

Shares confer that fraction of a vote which is equal to the proportion which the amount paid

bears to the total issue price of the Ordinary Share.


General meetings

Notice of a general meeting must be given to each Shareholder in accordance with the

Corporations Act. Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notices, financial statements and

other documents required to be provided to Shareholders under the Constitution,

Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.


Dividend entitlement

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the terms of issue of Ordinary Shares,

the board of directors of the Issuer ("Board") may resolve to pay dividends on Ordinary

Shares which are considered by the Board to be appropriate, in proportion to the capital

paid up on the Ordinary Shares held by each Shareholder (subject to the rights of holders of

shares carrying preferred rights including Subordinated Notes).


Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan

Shareholders who are eligible may participate in the Issuer's dividend reinvestment plan or

bonus option plan, as in force from time to time, in accordance with (and subject to) the

rules of those plans. Shareholders who are subject to the laws of a country or place other

than Australia may not be eligible to participate, because of legal requirements that apply in

that country or place or in Australia. Until the Board otherwise determines, participation in

the Issuer's dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is not available directly or

indirectly to any entity or person (including any legal or beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares)

who is (or who is acting on behalf of or for the account or benefit of an entity or person who

is) in or resident in the United States (including its territories or possessions) or Canada.


Rights of shareholders on a winding-up of the Issuer

If the Issuer is wound up and its property is more than sufficient to pay all debts, share

capital of the Issuer and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be divided among

Shareholders in proportion to the capital paid up on the Ordinary Shares at the

commencement of the winding-up (subject to the rights of holders of shares carrying

preferred rights on winding-up including Subordinated Notes). A partly paid Ordinary Share

is counted as a fraction of a fully paid Ordinary Share equal to the proportion which the

amount paid on it bears to the total issue price of the Ordinary Share.


However, with the sanction of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide among

Shareholders the assets of the Issuer in kind and decide how the division is to be carried out

or vest assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of Shareholders as the liquidator

thinks appropriate.


Transfer of ordinary shares

Ordinary Shares may be transferred by any means permitted by the Corporations Act or by

law. The Board may decline to register a transfer where permitted to do so under the ASX



Listing Rules or the settlement operating rules of the ASX ("ASX Settlement Operating

Rules"), or where registration of the transfer is forbidden by the Corporations Act, ASX

Listing Rules or ASX Settlement Operating Rules. In addition, subject to the Corporations

Act, ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Board may decline to

register a transfer if registration would create a new holding of less than a marketable

parcel under the ASX Listing Rules.


Issues of further shares

Subject to the Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Board may issue or

grant options in respect of Ordinary Shares on such terms as the Board decides. The Board

may also issue preference shares, including redeemable preference shares, or convertible

notes with preferred, deferred or special rights or restrictions in relation to dividends,

voting, return of capital and participation in surplus on a winding-up of the Issuer.


Variation of the Constitution

The Constitution can only be modified by a special resolution in accordance with the

Corporations Act. Under the Corporations Act, for a resolution to be passed as a special

resolution it must be passed by at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast by members entitled

to vote on the resolution.


Variation of rights

The Issuer may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any class of shares with the prior

approval, by a special resolution, of the holders of shares in that class at a meeting of those

holders, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75 per cent. of the issued

shares of that class.


Subject to the terms of issue, the rights attached to a class of shares are not treated as

varied by the issue of further shares which rank equally with that existing class for

participation in profits and assets of the Issuer.
