Notification under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3B – vesting of Rights (nil exercise price

options) previously granted under the ANZ Share Option Plan


For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 3.10.3B, ANZ confirms that the following Rights

previously granted to employees under the ANZ Share Option Plan (the ‘Plan’) as part of

their variable remuneration vested on 22 November 2020 (‘Vesting Date’):


Deferred Share Rights


a) 1,528,190 Deferred Share Rights granted between 22 November 2016 and 22

November 2019 - these Deferred Share Rights were automatically exercised on the

Vesting Date;

b) 279,918 Deferred Share Rights granted between 22 November 2017 and 22

November 2019 - these Deferred Share Rights can be exercised by their holder up

until (but not including) 22 November 2022;

c) 10,512 Deferred Share Rights granted between 22 November 2017 and 22

November 2019 – these Deferred Share Rights will be automatically exercised on the

retention period end date (6 - 12 months from Vesting Date); and

d) 85,035 Deferred Share Rights granted between 22 November 2016 and 22

November 2019 – these Deferred Share Rights were automatically exercised on the

Vesting Date with holders receiving a cash payment equivalent in value to one ANZ

ordinary share for each Deferred Share Right in lieu of ANZ delivering ANZ Shares on

the Vesting Date;


Performance Rights:


e) 12,217 Performance Rights granted on 22 November 2017 - these Performance

Rights were automatically exercised on the Vesting Date;

f) 308,143 Performance Rights granted on 22 November 2017 – these Performance

Rights can be exercised by their holder up until (but not including) 22 November

2022; and

g) 36,227 Performance Rights granted on 22 November 2017 – these Performance

Rights were automatically exercised on the Vesting Date with holders receiving a

cash payment equivalent in value to one ANZ ordinary share for each Performance

Right in lieu of ANZ delivering ANZ Shares on the Vesting Date.


The number of Performance Rights available for exercise in each financial year is subject to

a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle which compares ANZ’s TSR to the

relevant comparator group/performance hurdle measured over a 3-year performance

period. The TSR of ANZ and the comparator group/performance hurdle was independently

calculated at close of business on 20 November 2020.


Some of the securities listed in paragraphs (b) and (f) are held by Key Management

Personnel.


Any ANZ ordinary shares provided, or to be provided, to holders on exercise of the Rights

listed in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e) and (f) above have been previously purchased on

Page 2
market by the trustee of the Plan. Holders will receive one ANZ ordinary share for each

Right at the time of exercise.


No amount is payable by a holder upon exercise of any of the Rights (i.e. the exercise price

of each Right is $0).


Where the Vesting Date falls on a non-trading day, the exercise (listed in paragraphs (a),

(d), (e) and (g)), will occur as soon as practicable thereafter.


Additional details on the Plan are set out in Note 31 of ANZ’s 2020 Annual Report.


A total of 4,353,124 Rights granted under the Plan remain outstanding (which includes

unvested Rights and vested but unexercised Rights, including those detailed above). ANZ’s

outstanding Rights include Deferred Share Rights and Performance Rights.


Approved for distribution by ANZ’s Company Secretary.
