VOTING/PROXY FORM LODGEMENT
HOW TO COMPLETE THIS VOTING/PROXY FORM

DIRECT VOTING (BOX A)

If you mark Box A, you are indicating that you wish to vote directly. Please only

mark either ‘For’ or ‘Against’ for each item. If you mark the ‘Abstain’ box, your

vote will not be counted.

If no direction is given on an item, or if you complete both Box A and Box B, your

vote will be passed to the Chairman as your proxy.

Your direct vote will be cast for all of your shares unless you indicate only a portion

of your shares are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number

of shares beside the relevant item of business.

If you lodge a direct vote and then participate in the meeting, your participation

may cancel your direct vote in circumstances where you elect to be issued a new

voting card.

Further guidelines about direct voting are in Westpac’s Direct Voting Rules,

available on Westpac’s website westpac.com.au/AGM.

APPOINTING A PROXY (BOX B)

If you wish to appoint the Chairman as your proxy, mark Box B in Step 1. If you

wish to appoint someone else as your proxy, please write the name of the person,

or body corporate. A proxy need not be a shareholder of Westpac.

DEFAULT TO CHAIRMAN OF THE MEETING

If you leave Box B blank, or your named proxy does not participate in the meeting,

the Chairman will be your proxy. If your named proxy participates in the virtual

meeting but does not vote on a poll on a resolution in accordance with your

directions, the Chairman will become your proxy in respect of that resolution. On

a poll, the Chairman will vote proxies as directed.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT

You may direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each

item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction

unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by

inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote beside the relevant

item of business. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business,

your proxy may vote as they choose, subject to any voting exclusions that apply

to your proxy. If you mark more than one box on an item, your vote on that item

will be invalid.

PROXY VOTING BY KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL (KMP)

If you wish to appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or other member of

Westpac’s KMP, or their closely related parties, as your proxy, you must specify

how they should vote on Items 2 and 3 by marking the appropriate box. If you do

not, your proxy will not be able to exercise your vote for these Items.

If the Chairman is or becomes your proxy but you do not direct him how to vote

on an item (you do not complete any of the boxes ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ for

that item), you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote as they see fit

on that item.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes can appoint up to two persons as

proxies to participate in the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second

proxy, an additional Voting/Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting Link, or

copying this form.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

(a) on each Voting/Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number

of shares applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the

percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may

exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded; and

(b) return both forms together.

SIGNING INSTRUCTIONS

You must sign this form as follows in the spaces provided:

Individual: where the holding is in one name, the holder must sign.

Joint Holding: where the holding is in more than one name, any shareholder may

sign.

Power of attorney: To be effective, a hard copy of the power of attorney, originally

certified as a true copy by statutory declaration, must be received by Link by 10:00 am

(Sydney time) on Monday, 13 December 2021 at the postal address above.

Companies: Where the company has a sole director who is also the sole company

secretary, this form must be signed by that person. If the company (pursuant to

section 204A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) does not have a company

secretary, a sole director can also sign alone. Otherwise this form must be signed

by a director jointly with either another director or a company secretary. Please

indicate the office held by signing in the appropriate place.

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

If a representative of the corporation is to participate in the meeting the appropriate

‘Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative’ should be received by

Link before the commencement of the meeting in accordance with the Notice of

Meeting. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Link or online at
