Notification of Westpac’s 2020 Virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Dear Shareholder
The safety of shareholders, our people and the broader community remains paramount for
Westpac. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on public gatherings and the temporary
modifications to the Corporations Act, we are holding our 2020 AGM online as a virtual meeting.
Our AGM is on Friday, 11 December 2020 at 10am (AEDT).
There are a number of ways shareholders can participate, including through our AGM online
platform or by dialling into a teleconference. Proceedings can also be watched via a webcast.
We are working on our preparations to make it as easy as possible to participate.
Details on how to participate will be in the Notice of Meeting and on our AGM website.
Online Notice of Meeting
This year, the Notice of Meeting and Voting forms can only be accessed online and shareholders
will be notified by email when available, expected in early November 2020. If you have not
previously notified us of your email, and updated your communication preferences, you will need
to monitor the ASX and AGM website for when details become available. There will be no hard
copy mailing of the Notice of Meeting or Voting forms. This is a fast and safe way to
communicate with shareholders and aligns with the relief provided by the Federal Treasurer.

AGM website
Our AGM website westpac.com.au/AGM
will provide the information you need to participate in
the meeting. From early November 2020, you can download our Notice of Meeting and access
our ‘Virtual AGM Guide’ which explains how the online facility will work. This guide, and the
website, will also provide instructions on how to vote and ask a question including how to do so
live during the AGM.

Annual General Meeting (Virtual) 11 December 2020

While our AGM is not until 11 December 2020, and some further easing of current restrictions on
gatherings may occur, it will not be possible to change how the AGM is conducted. This is due to
the significant logistics of arranging such an event and because, as we have seen with
lockdowns around the world, situations can change rapidly.
I thank you for your support and I and the Board look forward to your participation in our AGM in
December.
Yours sincerely
,

John McFarlane

Chairman
