Section 5

Type of instrumentANZ Capital Notes 7 are:

•fully paid – at $100 per Note;

•convertible – in certain circumstances, the Notes will Convert into

Ordinary Shares;

•redeemable and resaleable – in certain circumstances, ANZ may be

permitted to repay the Face Value of the Notes or transfer the Notes to a

third party (but there are significant restrictions on repayment or transfer

of the Notes);

•non-cumulative – Distributions are discretionary and unpaid

Distributions do not accumulate. Holders will not have any right

to compensation if ANZ does not pay a Distribution;

•perpetual – the Notes do not have any fixed maturity date and could

remain on issue indefinitely if they are not Converted or Redeemed

(in which case you would not receive your capital back or be issued

any Ordinary Shares);

•unsecured – they are not guaranteed or secured, are not deposit

liabilities of ANZ and are not protected accounts for the purposes of

the Banking Act;

•subordinated – although they have priority over Ordinary Shares and

rank equally with Equal Ranking Instruments, they are subordinated to

the claims of Senior Creditors (including ANZ depositors) in a winding-up;

•exposed to Trigger Events – where a Trigger Event occurs (which

includes where ANZ encounters severe financial difficulty), the Notes

are subject to Conversion into Ordinary Shares or Write Off, in which

case Holders are likely to suffer loss; and

•listed – ANZ will apply for Notes to be listed on ASX and Notes are

expected to trade under ASX code “ANZPJ”.

The Note Terms are complex and derive from the detailed capital

requirements which APRA applies to these instruments, including that

the Notes absorb losses by being Converted or Written Off where a Trigger

Event (including severe financial difficulty) occurs. In this way, the Notes

and ANZ’s other regulatory capital instruments help to protect ANZ’s

depositors and Senior Creditors from losses ANZ may incur.

ANZ’s ability to pay a Distribution or to Convert, Redeem or Resell the Notes

at its option are in each case subject to a number of restrictions, including,

in the case of payment of a Distribution, APRA not objecting to the

Distribution and, in the case of Conversion, Redemption or Resale, APRA

giving its prior written approval to the Conversion, Redemption or Resale.

Offer size$1 billion, with the ability to raise more or less.

There is no minimum subscription amount under the Offer.

Face Value$100 per Note. This is the price you need to pay to apply for each

Note under this Prospectus.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

Investment Overview

« CONTENTS

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

TopicSummaryWhere to find
more information

Purpose of the OfferANZ is issuing the Notes to help meet the capital requirements for ADIs

set by APRA. APRA requires ANZ to maintain a level of regulatory capital

to help promote the stability of ANZ and protect ANZ’s depositors and

other creditors.

Regulatory

treatment

APRA has confirmed that the Notes will constitute Additional Tier 1 Capital

for the purposes of ANZ’s regulatory capital requirements.

Use of proceedsANZ will use the proceeds of the Offer to refinance CN2 and for general

corporate purposes.

DistributionsDistributions are cash payments on the Notes which are scheduled

to be paid quarterly until all Notes are Converted or Redeemed.

The Distribution Rate is calculated in accordance with the

following formula:

Distribution Rate = (BBSW Rate + Margin) x (1 – Tax Rate)

Where:

•Margin is the margin determined under the Bookbuild

(expected to be in the range of 2.7% to 2.9%); and

•Tax Rate is the Australian corporate tax rate applicable to the franking

account of ANZ as at the relevant Distribution Payment Date. As at the

date of this Prospectus, the Tax Rate is 30%.

Section 2.1

FrankingDistributions paid on the Notes are expected to be franked at the

same rate as dividends on Ordinary Shares.

The effect of the Distributions being franked is to reduce the cash amount

received by Holders on each Distribution Payment Date by an amount

equal to the relevant level of franking. If a Distribution is not fully franked,

ANZ will pay an additional amount in cash to compensate the Holder for

the unfranked component.

If Distributions are franked, the value and availability of franking credits to

a Holder will depend on that Holder’s particular circumstances and the tax

rules that apply at the time of each Distribution. The availability of franking

credits is not guaranteed and will depend on a number of factors, including

the level of profits generated by the ANZ Group that will be subject to tax

in Australia. Holders should refer to the Australian taxation summary in

Section 7.

Section 2.1.3

Payment of

Distributions

Payments of Distributions are at the absolute discretion of ANZ, which

means ANZ does not have to pay them. Distributions are also only payable

if the Payment Conditions are satisfied.

Distributions are non-cumulative which means that unpaid Distributions

do not accumulate and Holders will not have any right to compensation

if ANZ does not pay a Distribution. Failure to pay a Distribution when

scheduled will not constitute an event of default.

If a Distribution is not paid in full on a Distribution Payment Date, subject

to certain exceptions, ANZ cannot pay or resolve to pay any Ordinary Share

Dividend, or undertake any Buy-Back (as defined in the Note Terms) or

Capital Reduction, until and including the next Distribution Payment Date

(unless the Distribution is paid in full within 3 Business Days of the

Distribution Payment Date).

Distribution

Payment Dates

The Distribution Payment Dates are, generally, 20 March, 20 June,

20 September and 20 December.

The first Distribution is scheduled to be paid on 20 June 2022.

You should note that the first Distribution Period is shorter than

the normal Distribution Period.

Section 2.1.5

Do ANZ Capital

Notes 7 have a

maturity date?

Holders should be aware that the Notes do not have a fixed maturity

date. While the Notes are scheduled to Convert into Ordinary Shares on

20 September 2031,

5

that Conversion is subject to conditions which may

never be met. Accordingly, if the Notes are not Exchanged (via Conversion,

Redemption or Resale), they could remain on issue indefinitely. Holders

have no right to request or require an Exchange.

It is expected that the Notes will be quoted on ASX. Unless an Exchange

occurs, Holders would need to sell their Notes on ASX at the prevailing

market price to realise their investment. That market price may be less than

the Face Value, or there may be no liquid market in the Notes which may

result in the Holders suffering a loss.

1.2 SUMMARY OF CERTAIN EVENTS THAT MAY OCCUR WHILE THE

ANZ CAPITAL NOTES 7 ARE ON ISSUE

The diagram and table below summarise certain events that may occur while the ANZ Capital Notes 7 are on issue, and

what Holders may receive if those events occur. The events depend on a number of factors including ANZ’s share price,

the occurrence of contingencies and in some cases election by ANZ. As a result the events may not occur.

Approximately 7 Years

If ANZ chooses, and certain conditions

are met, Notes will be Converted,

Redeemed or Resold on this date

There are certain other events that could occur at any time which may result in Notes being Converted,

terminated and the Holder will not have their capital repaid.

1.3 RANKING OF NOTES IN A WINDING-UP OF ANZ
The table below illustrates how the Notes would rank upon a winding-up of ANZ, if they are on issue at the time. In the

table, a ‘higher ranking’ obligation is one which will be paid out of ANZ’s available assets in a winding-up before obligations

with a lower ranking. It may be that lower ranking securityholders, including Holders, will only have part or none of their

obligations paid (in the case of Holders, the claim for the Face Value), as there may be insufficient assets remaining to do

so after higher ranking obligations have been paid.

As shown in the table below, in a winding-up of ANZ, the Notes rank ahead of Ordinary Shares, equally among

themselves, equally with Equal Ranking Instruments (including ANZ Capital Securities) and behind all Senior Creditors

of ANZ, including depositors.

1.5 KEY RISKS OF ANZ CAPITAL NOTES 7

Before deciding whether to apply for Notes, you should consider whether the Notes are a suitable investment for you.

There are risks associated with investing in Notes and in ANZ. Many of those risks are outside the control of ANZ and

its Directors. The key risks are detailed in Section 6 and you should read that section in full before deciding to invest.

The table below outlines the key risks associated with an investment in the Notes.

TopicSummaryWhere to find

ANZ Capital

Notes 7 are not

deposit

liabilities or

protected

accounts

ANZ Capital Notes 7 are not deposit liabilities of ANZ, are not protected accounts

for the purposes of the Banking Act or any other accounts with ANZ and are not

guaranteed or insured by any person.

Section 6.1.14

Financial

market

conditions

and liquidity

of Notes

The market price of the Notes may move up or down due to various factors

that affect financial market conditions. It is possible that the Notes may trade at

a market price below their Face Value of $100. This means that Holders who seek

to sell their Notes at that time may do so at a loss.

The liquidity of the Notes may be low and the market for the Notes may be

volatile. This means that Holders may not be able to sell their Notes at an

acceptable price, at or above Face Value or at all. The market for the Notes

may be less liquid and/or more volatile than the market for Ordinary Shares

or other securities issued by ANZ or other entities.

and 6.1.2

Distributions

may not

be paid

There is a risk that Distributions may not be paid.

If a Distribution is not paid in full on a Distribution Payment Date, Holders have

no claim or entitlement in respect of non-payment nor any right to receive that

Distribution at any later time. Non-payment is not an event of default.

Section 6.1.5

Changes in

Distribution

Rate

The Distribution Rate will move up or down over time as a result of movements in

the BBSW Rate. There is a risk that the Distribution Rate may become less attractive

when compared to the rates of return available on other investments.

Section 6.1.7

Mandatory

Conversion

may not occur

on the

Mandatory

Conversion

Date

ANZ Capital Notes 7 have no fixed maturity date but will Convert into Ordinary

Shares on 20 September 2031

18

if the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are

satisfied, unless Notes are otherwise Exchanged on or before that date.

If these conditions are not met on 20 September 2031,

19

Conversion will occur

on the next Distribution Payment Date on which they are satisfied. There is a risk

that Conversion will not occur because the Mandatory Conversion Conditions

are not satisfied.

If the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are never satisfied there is a risk that

the Notes may never Convert and could remain on issue indefinitely.

Sections 2.2.2

and 6.1.8

Holders have

no right to

request early

Exchange

Holders have no right to request that their Notes be Exchanged. Unless their

Notes are Exchanged, to realise their investment, Holders would need to sell

their Notes on the ASX at the prevailing market price. That price may be less than

the Face Value, and there may be no liquid market in the Notes. The Note Terms

contain no events of default.

Section 6.1.10

Mandatory

Conversion

or Write Off

following a

Trigger Event

If a Trigger Event occurs and Notes are Converted, the number of Ordinary Shares

a Holder will receive for each Note is limited to the Maximum Conversion Number.

This means that, depending on the market price of Ordinary Shares at the time,

Holders are likely to receive significantly less than approximately $101 worth of

Ordinary Shares per Note and to suffer loss as a consequence. Where Conversion

is not effected within five Business Days after the Trigger Event Conversion Date

for any reason (including an Inability Event), the Notes will be Written Off. This

means that those Notes will never Convert or be Exchanged and all rights

(including to Distributions and to Face Value in respect of those Notes) will be

terminated with effect on and from the Trigger Event Conversion Date. A Holder’s

investment will lose all of its value, they will not have their capital repaid and they

will not receive any compensation.

A Trigger Event may occur at any time.

Sections 2.5

and 6.1.9

Ranking in a

winding-up

of ANZ

On a winding-up of ANZ, the Notes rank for payment ahead of Ordinary Shares,

equally among themselves, equally with Equal Ranking Instruments (including

ANZ Capital Securities), and behind all Senior Creditors, including depositors.

This means that, on a winding-up, there is a risk that Holders will lose all or some

of their investment. If the Notes have been Converted into Ordinary Shares prior

to a winding-up of ANZ, the Ordinary Shares received on Conversion will rank

equally with other Ordinary Shares and a holder's claim in a winding-up of ANZ

will therefore rank lower than it would have if the Notes had not been Converted.

If Notes are Written Off, those Notes will never Convert or be Exchanged and

Holders will not have their capital repaid at all.

Section 6.1.14

ANZ may

issue further

securities

There is no limit on the amount of senior debt, deposits or other obligations or

securities that may be incurred or issued by ANZ at any time, which may affect

a Holder’s ability to be repaid on a winding-up of ANZ.

Fluctuation

in Ordinary

Share price

The market price of Ordinary Shares will move up or down due to various factors,

including investor perceptions, domestic and worldwide economic conditions,

ANZ’s financial performance and position, and transactions affecting the share

capital of ANZ. As a result, the price used to calculate the number of Ordinary

Shares received by Holders upon Conversion may be different to the market

price of the Ordinary Shares when they are issued or thereafter.

The COVID-19 pandemic has, and will likely continue to, severely impact global,

regional and national economies and markets. The expected duration and

magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impacts on the economy

and the market price for Ordinary Shares are unclear.

Sections 6.1.2,

6.1.4 and 6.1.8

ANZ’s financial

performance

and position

The market price of the Notes (and the Ordinary Shares into which they

can Convert) may be affected by ANZ’s financial performance and position.

For specific risks associated with an investment in ANZ, see Section 6.2.

ANZ’s financial performance and position may also affect the credit ratings

associated with ANZ’s securities, which may impact the market price and liquidity

of the Notes. ANZ’s credit rating may be revised, withdrawn or suspended by

ratings agencies at any time.

2.1 DISTRIBUTIONS

ANZ Capital Notes 7 are expected to pay quarterly floating rate non-cumulative Distributions, which are expected to be

franked at the same rate as dividends on Ordinary Shares and accordingly Holders are expected to receive a combination

of cash Distributions and franking credits until all Notes are Converted, Redeemed or Written Off. Payment of the

Distributions is at ANZ’s discretion and subject to the payment not resulting in ANZ breaching APRA’s capital adequacy

requirements or becoming (or being likely to become) insolvent, or APRA objecting to the payment (the Payment

Conditions). The Payment Conditions are described in Section 2.1.6 below.

Distributions on Notes are based on a floating rate and are non-cumulative. This means that if a Distribution or part of a

Distribution is not paid on a Distribution Payment Date, Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of non-payment

nor any right to receive that Distribution at any later time. All payments of Distributions are subject to applicable law.

2.1.1

How will the

Distribution Rate

be calculated?

The Distribution Rate for each Distribution Period will be set on the first

Business Day of each Distribution Period and will be calculated using the

following formula:

Distribution Rate = (BBSW Rate + Margin) x (1 – Tax Rate) where:

BBSW Rate means the BBSW Rate on the first Business Day of the

Distribution Period – see Section 2.1.4;

Margin is the margin determined under the Bookbuild

(expected to be in the range of 2.7% to 2.9%); and

Tax Rate is the Australian corporate tax rate applicable to the franking

account of ANZ as at the relevant Distribution Payment Date. As at the date

of this Prospectus, the Tax Rate is 30%, although the Tax Rate may change

in future years – see Section 6.1.17.

For example, assuming the BBSW Rate on the first Business Day of the

Distribution Period is 0.07% per annum and assuming the Margin is 2.70%

per annum, then the Distribution Rate for that Distribution Period would

be calculated as follows:

BBSW Rate 0.0700% per annum

Plus the Margin + 2.7000% per annum

Equivalent unfranked distribution rate 2.7700% per annum

Multiplied by (1 – Tax Rate) x 0.70

2.1.2

How will the

Distribution be

calculated for each

Distribution Period?

Distributions scheduled to be paid on each Distribution Payment

Date will be calculated using the following formula:

Distribution = Face Value x Distribution Rate × N

365

where:

Face Value means $100 per Note;

Distribution Rate means the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum)

calculated as set out in Section 2.1.1; and

N means the number of days in the Distribution Period calculated as

set out in the Note Terms.

For example, if the Distribution Rate was 1.9390% per annum and assuming

Distributions on the Notes are fully franked, then the cash Distribution on

each Note for that Distribution Period (if the Distribution Period was for

91 days) would be calculated as follows:

Indicative Distribution Rate 1.9390% per annum

Multiplied by the Face Value x $100.00

Multiplied by the number of days

in the Distribution Period

20

x 91

Divided by 365 ÷ 365

Indicative fully franked cash Distribution

payment for the Distribution Period per Note $0.4834

Where Distributions are not fully franked, an additional cash payment

is made to compensate for the unfranked component. Details of the

additional payment are set out in Section 2.1.3.

The above example is for illustrative purposes only. Actual Distributions

may be higher or lower than this example.

The Distribution Rate for the first Distribution Period will be set on the

Issue Date and will include the Margin determined under the Bookbuild.

You should note that the Distribution Period for the first Distribution is

a shorter period of 88 days and Distribution Periods will otherwise

generally be 90 to 92 days.

Clauses 3.1, 13

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

20 Distribution Periods will otherwise generally contain 90 to 92 days.

2.1.3

What is the impact

of franking credits?

Distributions are expected to be franked at the same rate as dividends

on Ordinary Shares and, accordingly, Holders are expected to receive

a combination of cash Distributions and franking credits. ANZ currently

franks Ordinary Shares at 100%. The level of franking may vary over time

and Distributions may be partially, fully or not franked.

If the potential value of the franking credits is taken into account in full,

the Distribution Rate of 1.9390% per annum in the example in Section 2.1.2

would be equivalent to an unfranked distribution rate of approximately

2.7700% per annum.

If any Distribution is not franked or only partially franked, the amount

of the cash Distribution will be increased to compensate for the unfranked

component, subject to the Payment Conditions. Clause 3.2 of the Note Terms

sets out the method of calculation for the additional payment.

For example, if the franking rate applicable to the Distribution was only 90%,

then the cash Distribution on each Note for that Distribution Period (if the

Distribution Period was for 91 days) would be calculated as follows:

Indicative Distribution Rate 1.9390% per annum

Multiplied by the Face Value x $100.00

Multiplied by the number of days

in the Distribution Period

21

x 91

Divided by 365 ÷ 365

Sub total $0.4834

Divided by 1 – (Tax Rate x (1 – Franking Rate)) 0.97

Indicative partially franked cash Distribution

payment for the Distribution Period per Note $0.4984

The above example is for illustrative purposes only. Actual Distributions

may be higher or lower than this example.

Holders should be aware that the potential value of any franking credits does

not accrue at the same time as the receipt of any cash Distribution and will

depend on the individual tax position of each Holder and the tax rules that

apply at the time of each Distribution.

If the corporate tax rate applicable to ANZ were to change, the cash amount

of Distributions and the amount of any franking credits would change. For

instance, if the tax rate decreases the cash amount of any Distribution ANZ

may pay would increase and the franking credits attached to that Distribution

would decrease.

The laws relating to the availability of franking and franking credits may

change. Holders should refer to the Taxation Summary in Section 7 and

seek professional advice in relation to their tax position.

Sections 6.1.6

and 6.1.17

Clause 3.2

of the Note Terms

21 Distribution periods will otherwise generally contain 90 to 92 days.

2.1.4

What is the

BBSW Rate?

The BBSW Rate is a benchmark 3 month floating interest rate for the Australian

money market. It is used as a reference for the pricing, rate-setting and valuation

of Australian dollar financial securities and is administered by ASX and is

published on various information services. It changes to reflect supply and

demand in the cash and currency markets. The BBSW Rate for each Distribution

Period is set on the first Business Day of the relevant Distribution Period.

The graph below illustrates the movement in the BBSW Rate over

the last 15 years. The rate on 2 February 2022 was 0.0700% per annum.

The above graph is for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate,

guarantee or forecast the actual BBSW Rate. The actual BBSW Rate for the

first and subsequent Distribution Periods may be higher or lower than the

rates in the above graph.

If ANZ determines that BBSW has been affected by a “Reference Rate

Disruption Event”, ANZ may select an alternative reference rate that it

considers appropriate and make other related changes to the Terms (subject,

in each case, to APRA’s prior written approval). Broadly, a “Reference Rate

Disruption Event” occurs where BBSW has been discontinued or has ceased to

be generally accepted in the Australian market for securities such as the Notes.

ANZ is required to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner

in selecting an alternative reference rate, and may consult with sources that it

considers appropriate, but may otherwise exercise its discretion.

It is possible for BBSW to become negative. If BBSW becomes negative, the

negative amount will be taken into account in calculating the Distribution Rate.

If the Distribution Rate was negative as a result, Holders would not receive a

distribution and there would be no obligation on Holders to pay ANZ. For

example, if the BBSW Rate is negative 1.00% per annum, the Margin is 2.7000%

per annum and the Australian corporate tax rate is 30%, then the Distribution

Rate will be 1.1900% per annum, calculated as follows:

Distribution Rate = (-1.00% + 2.7000%) x (1 – 30%) = 1.1900%

The above example is for illustrative purposes only. Actual Distributions

may be higher or lower than this example.

When are the

Distribution

Payment Dates?

Subject to ANZ’s absolute discretion and the Payment Conditions,

Distributions are payable quarterly in arrears on the Distribution Payment

Dates. The first Distribution Payment Date is 20 June 2022.

Subsequent Distribution Payment Dates occur on 20 March, 20 June,

20 September and 20 December each year. If any of these dates are not

Business Days, then the Distribution Payment Date will occur on the next

Business Day.

In addition, if Exchange occurs on a day that is not a scheduled Distribution

Payment Date (other than an Exchange as a result of a Trigger Event, in which

case all rights to payment of Distributions are terminated), Holders whose

Notes are being Exchanged will also receive a Distribution in respect of those

Notes for the period from the immediately preceding Distribution Payment

Date to (but excluding) the date on which Exchange occurs, subject to ANZ’s

absolute discretion and the Payment Conditions.

2.1.6

What are

the Payment

Conditions?

Distributions may not always be paid. The payment of each Distribution

is subject to ANZ’s absolute discretion and no Payment Condition existing

in respect of the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

A Payment Condition will exist where:

• the payment of Distributions will result in ANZ (on a Level 1 basis) or

the ANZ Group (on a Level 2 basis or, if applicable, a Level 3 basis) not

complying with APRA’s then current capital adequacy requirements;

•the payment of Distributions would result in ANZ becoming, or being

likely to become, insolvent for the purposes of the Corporations Act; or

•APRA objects to the payment of the Distribution.

All payments are subject to applicable law.

How will

Distributions

be paid?

Distributions are scheduled to be paid to Holders whose details are

recorded with the Registry on the relevant Record Date (as defined

in the Note Terms).

Distributions and any other amount payable will be paid by:

•electronic transfer to an Australian dollar bank account maintained

in Australia with a financial institution nominated by the Holder; or

•at ANZ’s option, if no such account is nominated, sending a cheque

to the address of the Holder.

In order to receive a payment, a Holder will need to notify the Registry by

close of business on the relevant Record Date (as defined in the Note Terms)

of an Australian dollar bank account maintained in Australia with a financial

institution to which payment should be made. If the Holder does not so notify

the Registry, or the payment does not complete, the amount will be held as a

non-interest bearing deposit until such account is nominated, claims may no

longer be made in respect of that amount or ANZ deals with the amount in

accordance with the laws relating to unclaimed moneys.

2.2.2

What are the

Mandatory

Conversion

Conditions?

Conversion will not occur unless all the Mandatory Conversion Conditions

are satisfied.

The Mandatory Conversion Conditions are:

•First Mandatory Conversion Condition: the VWAP on the 25th Business

Day before a potential Mandatory Conversion Date is greater than 56.00%

of the Issue Date VWAP.

•Second Mandatory Conversion Condition: the VWAP during the period

of 20 Business Days in which trading in Ordinary Shares took place before

a potential Mandatory Conversion Date is greater than 50.51% of the Issue

Date VWAP.

•Third Mandatory Conversion Condition: no Delisting Event applies to

Ordinary Shares in respect of the possible Mandatory Conversion Date.

Broadly, a Delisting Event occurs when ANZ is delisted, its Ordinary Shares

have been suspended from trading for a certain period, or ANZ is prevented

by applicable law or any other reason from Converting Notes.

2.2 MANDATORY CONVERSION (CONT)

2.2.3

What are the

reasons for

the Mandatory

Conversion

Conditions?

It is intended that upon Mandatory Conversion of a Note, the Holder

receives Ordinary Shares worth approximately $101 that are capable of

being sold on ASX.

There is a cap on the maximum number of shares that Holders can be issued

on conversion of an instrument such as ANZ Capital Notes 7 due to Prudential

Standards and ratings agency requirements. The maximum number is based

on the Issue Date VWAP of Ordinary Shares and, in the case of Mandatory

Conversion, is set by dividing the Face Value of the Notes by 50% of the

Issue Date VWAP.

If the price of Ordinary Shares were to fall significantly and there were no

Mandatory Conversion Conditions, the number of Ordinary Shares that you

would receive might be limited by that cap and in that case the value of

those Ordinary Shares would be likely to be less than $101. In order to give

Holders some protection against receiving Ordinary Shares worth less than

approximately $101, the First and Second Mandatory Conversion Conditions

have been included, so that where the VWAP of Ordinary Shares has fallen

to less than the specified percentage of the Issue Date VWAP, Mandatory

Conversion is deferred.

So that Holders receive Ordinary Shares on Conversion that are capable

of being sold on ASX, the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition has been

included. Essentially, it provides that if Ordinary Shares are not listed,

Mandatory Conversion is deferred.

2.2.4

Until when is

Mandatory

Conversion deferred

if the Mandatory

Conversion

Conditions are

not satisfied?

If any of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are not satisfied, Mandatory

Conversion is deferred until the next Distribution Payment Date on which all

of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are satisfied. Since the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions may never be satisfied, Mandatory Conversion may

never occur.

Clauses 4.2 and

4.3 of the Note

Terms

2.2.5

How many

Ordinary Shares

will Holders receive

on Mandatory

Conversion?

If Notes are Converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date, Holders will

receive a number of Ordinary Shares per Note that is equivalent to the

number calculated using the following formula:

Face Value

99% x VWAP

The VWAP for this purpose is the VWAP during the 20 Business Days on which

trading in Ordinary Shares took place before the Mandatory Conversion Date.

In the above calculation there is a small Conversion discount since selling

costs are likely to apply to the sale of Ordinary Shares on ASX.

For example, assuming the VWAP is $27.00, the number of Ordinary Shares

a Holder would receive following Conversion on a Mandatory Conversion

Date would be calculated as follows:

Face Value $100.00

Divided by VWAP x 0.99 ÷ $26.73

Ordinary Shares per Note 3.7411

Assuming the price of those Ordinary Shares on the Mandatory Conversion

Date is also $27.00, the aggregate value of those Ordinary Shares (calculated

by multiplying 3.7411 by $27.00) would be approximately $101.

The above example is for illustrative purposes only. The actual VWAP and

the number of Ordinary Shares Holders might receive on Conversion on the

Mandatory Conversion Date may be higher or lower than in this example.

2.2.6

What is the Issue

Date VWAP?

The Issue Date VWAP is the VWAP during the period of 20 Business Days on

which trading in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding (but not

including) the first date on which Notes were issued, subject to certain

adjustments (described in Section 2.2.7 below).

Clause 17.2 of

the Note Terms

2.2.7

What adjustments

to the Issue Date

VWAP are made

to account for

changes to ANZ’s

capital and what

is their effect?

The Issue Date VWAP may be adjusted to reflect a consolidation, division or

reclassification of Ordinary Shares and pro rata bonus issues as set out in the

Note Terms (but not other transactions, including rights issues, which may

affect the capital of ANZ). Since the First Mandatory Conversion Condition

and Second Mandatory Conversion Condition are expressed in terms of

percentages of the Issue Date VWAP, an adjustment alters the VWAP of

Ordinary Shares at which those conditions would be satisfied.

However, no adjustment shall be made to the Issue Date VWAP where such

adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less than one per cent of the

Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

Clauses 6.2 to 6.8

of the Note Terms

2.3 OPTIONAL EXCHANGE BY ANZ

ANZ Capital Notes 7 have no fixed maturity but ANZ may choose to Exchange all or some ANZ Capital Notes 7 on an

Optional Exchange Date or after a Tax Event or Regulatory Event occurs, in each case if APRA has given its approval and

certain conditions are met. In addition, ANZ (or any Related Entity of ANZ) may at any time purchase Notes in the open

market or otherwise, at any price (subject to the prior written approval of APRA).

2.3.1

What does

Exchange mean?

Exchange means:

•Notes are Converted into a variable number of Ordinary Shares

with a value

24

of approximately $101 per Note;

•Notes are Redeemed for $100 per Note;

•Notes are Resold to a purchaser nominated by ANZ (that cannot

be ANZ or a Related Entity of ANZ) for $100 per Note; or

•a combination of the above.

No Exchange elected by ANZ will occur without APRA’s prior written

approval and unless certain conditions are met.

Holders should not expect that APRA will give its approval for any Exchange.

Clauses 5, 6, 7, 8

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

2.3.2

When are

the Optional

Exchange Dates?

The Distribution Payment Date falling on 20 March 2029, 20 June 2029 or

20 September 2029.

Clause 17.2 of

the Note Terms

2.3.3

What is a

Tax Event?

Broadly, a Tax Event will occur if ANZ receives professional advice that,

as a result of:

•a change in the tax law in Australia;

•an administrative pronouncement or ruling affecting taxation in Australia; or

•a challenge by a taxing authority in Australia in connection with the Notes,

on or after the Issue Date (and which on the Issue Date was not expected

by ANZ to occur), there is more than an insubstantial risk which the Directors

determine to be unacceptable that ANZ would be exposed to more than a de

minimis adverse tax consequence or increased cost in relation to Notes being

on issue or any Distribution would not be a frankable distribution for

tax purposes.

Clauses 5.1 and

17.2 of the Note

Terms

24 Based on the VWAP during a period, being 20 Business Days, on which trading in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding the Exchange Date. The

VWAP of Ordinary Shares during the relevant period before the Exchange Date that is used to calculate the number of Ordinary Shares that Holders receive may

differ from the Ordinary Share price on or after the Exchange Date. This means that the value of Ordinary Shares received may be more or less than anticipated

when they are issued or thereafter.

What is a

Regulatory Event?

Broadly, a Regulatory Event will occur if:

•ANZ receives legal advice that, as a result of a change of Australian

law or regulation or any statement of APRA on or after the Issue Date

(and which on the Issue Date was not expected by ANZ to occur)

(a Regulatory Change),

−additional requirements (which are more than de minimis) would

be imposed on ANZ; or

−there would be a negative impact on ANZ in relation to Notes

which is more than de minimis,

and which the Directors determine to be unacceptable; or

•the Directors determine that, as a result of a Regulatory Change, ANZ is

not or will not be entitled to treat all Notes as Additional Tier 1 Capital.

Clauses 5.1 and

17.2 of the Note

Terms

2.3.5

Are there

restrictions on

which Exchange

Method ANZ

may choose?

Yes. Please see Sections 2.3.6 and 2.3.8 below. In addition, where there

is an Exchange on an Optional Exchange Date and the Exchange Method is

Conversion, the Exchange Notice must be given no earlier than 25 Business

Days before the Optional Exchange Date. Where the Exchange Method is

Redemption or Resale, the notice period is only 5 Business Days.

Clause 5.2 of the

Note Terms

2.3.6

What are the

conditions or

restrictions on

Conversion as the

Exchange Method?

If ANZ wishes to Exchange Notes by Converting them, there are two types

of restrictions which apply:

•Restrictions on choosing to Convert

ANZ may not choose to Convert Notes if on the second Business Day

before the date on which an Exchange Notice is to be sent:

−the VWAP is less than or equal to 22.50% of the Issue Date VWAP; or

−a Delisting Event has occurred.

•Restrictions on completing the Conversion

If ANZ has sent an Exchange Notice, ANZ must not Convert the Notes

if the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the Third Mandatory

Conversion Condition would not be satisfied in respect of the Exchange

Date. This restriction is tested as if the Exchange Date were a possible

Mandatory Conversion Date and as if the Second Mandatory Conversion

Condition referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date VWAP.

If that occurs, ANZ will notify Holders and the Conversion will be deferred

until the next Distribution Payment Date on which the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions would be satisfied.

The percentages used in the above conditions are derived from market

precedents and the cap on the number of Ordinary Shares that are permitted

to be issued in these circumstances under the Prudential Standards and

ratings agency requirements. The cap in the case of Conversion in these

circumstances is set by dividing the Face Value of the Notes by 20% of the

Issue Date VWAP.

Clauses 5.2, 5.4

and 5.5 of the

Note Terms

2.3.7

How many

Ordinary Shares

will Holders receive

if Conversion is the

Exchange Method?

If the Notes are Converted on an Optional Exchange Date or following a Tax

Event or Regulatory Event, Holders will receive a variable number of Ordinary

Shares with a value of approximately $101 (based on a VWAP during a period

of 20 Business Days in which trading in Ordinary Shares took place before the

Conversion date).

Are there any

restrictions on

Redemption?

ANZ may only elect to Redeem Notes with APRA’s prior written approval.

ANZ is not permitted to Redeem any Note at any time unless those Notes

being Redeemed are replaced concurrently or beforehand with Tier 1 Capital

of the same or better quality as the Notes and the replacement of the Notes is

done under conditions that are sustainable for ANZ’s income capacity, or APRA

is satisfied that the capital position of the ANZ Level 1 Group, the ANZ Level 2

Group and, if applicable, the ANZ Level 3 Group is well above its minimum

capital requirements after ANZ elects to Redeem the Notes.

Clauses 5.2(c) and

7 of the Note

Terms

2.3.9

What happens

on Resale?

ANZ may only elect to Resell Notes with APRA’s prior written approval.

If ANZ elects for Notes to be Resold, subject to payment by the Purchaser

of the Face Value of those Notes, the Holder’s Notes will be transferred to the

Purchaser on the Exchange Date. If the Purchaser does not pay the Face Value

of any Notes, these Notes will not be transferred and the Holder has no claim

against ANZ as a result of the non-payment.

ANZ may appoint one or more Purchasers for the Resale on such terms as

may be agreed between ANZ and the Purchaser and to the extent that any

such terms may cause the Notes to cease to be Additional Tier 1 Capital,

with the prior written approval of APRA. These may include terms as to:

•the conditions of any Resale;

•the substitution of another entity as Purchaser; and

•the terms (if any) on which any Notes acquired by a Purchaser may

be dealt with.

If ANZ appoints more than one Purchaser in respect of a Resale, all or any

of the Notes held by a Holder which are being Resold may be purchased

by any one or any combination of the Purchasers, as determined by ANZ.

ANZ may not appoint itself or a Related Entity as a Purchaser.

Clause 8 of the

Note Terms

2.3.10

What factors

will influence

ANZ’s decision

to Exchange

the Notes?

ANZ will consider a number of factors when determining whether to

Exchange all or some Notes on an Optional Exchange Date or after a Tax Event

or Regulatory Event occurs. Those factors will include, among other things,

ANZ’s regulatory capital requirements and financial condition at the time, the

market conditions prevailing at the time and the cost to ANZ of replacing the

Notes with another form of Additional Tier 1 Capital.

2.3.11

Can Holders

Following the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, ANZ may not

proceed to Convert Notes if, on the date on which Conversion is to occur

(Change of Control Conversion Date), certain further restrictions apply.

These Conversion restrictions on the Change of Control Conversion

Date apply if the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition (applied

as if it referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date VWAP) or the Third Mandatory

Conversion Condition would not be satisfied in respect of the Change

of Control Conversion Date as if the Change of Control Conversion Date

were a possible Mandatory Conversion Date.

The percentages used in the above conditions are derived from market

precedents and the cap on the number of Ordinary Shares that are permitted

to be issued in these circumstances under the Prudential Standards and

ratings agency requirements.

Clause 4.10 of the

Note Terms

2.4.4

What happens if

Conversion does

not occur on a

Change of Control

Conversion Date?

If ANZ has given a Change of Control Conversion Notice but the restrictions

prevent Conversion, ANZ will give a new Change of Control Conversion

Notice to Convert the Notes on the next Distribution Payment Date (under

clause 3.5(a) of the Note Terms). Conversion will not occur if the restrictions

described in Section 2.4.3 apply on that date. This process will be repeated

until a Conversion occurs.

Section 2.4.3

Clause 4.10 of

the Note Terms

25 If Conversion occurs as a result of a Change of Control Event, the period for calculating the VWAP may be less than 20 Business Days on which trading in Ordinary

Shares took place immediately preceding (but not including) the Business Day before the Change of Control Conversion Date. See clause 17.2 (definition of

“VWAP Period”) of the Note Terms. The VWAP during the relevant period before the Change of Control Conversion Date that is used to calculate the number of

Ordinary Shares that Holders receive may differ from the Ordinary Share price on or after the Change of Control Conversion Date. This means that the value of

Ordinary Shares received may be more or less than anticipated when they are issued or thereafter.

2.5 AUTOMATIC CONVERSION FOLLOWING A TRIGGER EVENT

ANZ Capital Notes 7 are required to be Converted following the occurrence of a Trigger Event.

The Mandatory Conversion Conditions do not apply to a Conversion following a Trigger Event. The number

of Ordinary Shares that Holders will receive on a Conversion in these circumstances will not be greater than the

Maximum Conversion Number.

A Trigger Event may occur where ANZ encounters severe financial difficulty. In the event of a Conversion following

a Trigger Event, depending on the market price of Ordinary Shares at the relevant time, Holders are likely to receive

Ordinary Shares that are worth significantly less than approximately $101 for each Note they hold and to suffer loss

as a consequence. If the Notes are not Converted for any reason (including an Inability Event) they will be Written Off,

which means those Notes will never be Converted or Exchanged, all rights in relation to those Notes will be terminated,

and Holders will not have their capital repaid.

2.5.1

What is a

Trigger Event?

There are two types of Trigger Events:

•a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; and

•a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

Common Equity Capital Trigger Event

A Common Equity Capital Trigger Event will occur if, at any time ANZ

determines, or APRA has notified ANZ in writing that it believes, that

a Common Equity Capital Ratio is equal to or less than 5.125%.

ANZ must immediately notify APRA in writing if it makes such a determination.

The Common Equity Capital Ratio is the ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital

of the ANZ Level 1 Group or the ANZ Level 2 Group (as applicable) (including

Ordinary Shares, retained earnings and certain reserves but net of Common

Equity Tier 1 Capital Deductions) to the risk weighted assets of the ANZ Level 1

Group or the ANZ Level 2 Group respectively, as prescribed by APRA.

See Section 5.4 for more information about ANZ's Common

Equity Capital Ratio.

A Non-Viability Trigger Event

A Non-Viability Trigger Event will occur if, at any time:

•APRA notifies ANZ in writing that conversion or write off of Relevant

Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that ANZ

would become non-viable; or

•APRA notifies ANZ in writing that it has determined that without a public

sector injection of capital (or equivalent support) ANZ would become

non-viable.

APRA has not provided specific guidance on when it will consider an entity to

be non-viable. However, APRA has indicated that non-viability is likely to arise

prior to the insolvency of an ADI. Non-viability could be expected to include

serious impairment of ANZ’s financial position and insolvency; however, it is

possible that APRA’s definition of non-viable may not necessarily be confined

to solvency or capital measures and APRA’s position on these matters may

change over time.

2.5 AUTOMATIC CONVERSION FOLLOWING A TRIGGER EVENT (CONT)

2.5.2

What happens

following a

Trigger Event?

ANZ may be required to Convert a number of Notes into Ordinary Shares

following the occurrence of a Trigger Event. If a Trigger Event occurs, ANZ

must Convert the Notes immediately on that day. ANZ must notify Holders

as soon as practicable of that event occurring, but the Conversion occurs

whether or not that notice is given. Conversion in these circumstances is not

subject to the Mandatory Conversion Conditions (or any other conditions)

and so cannot be stopped for those reasons.

If Conversion has not been effected within 5 Business Days after the Trigger

Event Conversion Date for any reason (including an Inability Event), the Notes

will be Written Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Conversion Date

and a Holder will suffer loss as a consequence.

If a Note is Written Off:

•the Note will not be Converted on that date and will not be Exchanged

on any other date; and

•the relevant Holder’s rights (including to payment of Distributions and

Face Value) in relation to such Note are immediately and irrevocably

terminated and written off.

Clauses 4.7, 4.8,

4.9, 6.1 and 6.13

of the Note Terms

2.5.3

How many

Ordinary Shares

will Holders

receive if Notes

are Converted on

a Trigger Event

Conversion Date?

If Notes are Converted on a Trigger Event Conversion Date, Holders will

receive a number of Ordinary Shares per Note that is equivalent to the

number calculated using the following formula, being subject to a cap

so that the number of Ordinary Shares received is limited to the Maximum

Conversion Number:

Face Value

99% x VWAP

The cap imposed by the Maximum Conversion Number is likely to mean that

fewer, and possibly significantly fewer, Ordinary Shares would be received by

a Holder than if this cap did not exist. This is explained further in Section 2.5.4.

The VWAP for this purpose is the VWAP during the 5 Business Days on

which trading in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding

(but not including) the Trigger Event Conversion Date (when the price

of Ordinary Shares may be low).

In the above calculation there is a small Conversion discount since selling

costs are likely to apply to the sale of Ordinary Shares on ASX.

Clauses 6.1 to 6.7

of the Note Terms

2.5.4

What is the

Maximum

Conversion

Number?

The Maximum Conversion Number in the case of a Trigger Event is

determined using the following formula:

Face Value

Issue Date VWAP x 0.2

This formula is derived from market precedents and the cap on the number

of Ordinary Shares that are permitted to be issued in these circumstances

under the Prudential Standards and ratings agency requirements.

This means that, depending on the market price of Ordinary Shares

at the relevant time, a Holder is likely to receive significantly less than

approximately $101 worth of Ordinary Shares per Note and is likely to

suffer a loss as a consequence.

2.5.5

Is there a

worked example

illustrating how

many Ordinary

Shares a Holder

will receive

on Conversion

following a

Trigger Event?

This example illustrates how many Ordinary Shares a Holder will receive per

Note following Conversion on a Trigger Event Conversion Date assuming the

VWAP is $4.50 and the Issue Date VWAP is $27.00.

This example is for illustrative purposes only. The actual VWAP, Issue Date

VWAP and Maximum Conversion Number may be higher or lower than in this

example and Issue Date VWAP may be adjusted after the Issue Date in limited

circumstances (see Section 2.2.7).

Step 1 – Calculate the indicative number of Ordinary Shares using

the Conversion mechanics

Face Value $100.00

Divided by VWAP x 0.99 ÷ $4.4550

Ordinary Shares per Note 22.4467

Step 2 – Calculate the Maximum Conversion Number

Face Value $100.00

Divided by Issue Date VWAP × 0.2 ÷ $5.40

Ordinary Shares per Note =18.5185

Step 3 – Assess the effect of the Maximum Conversion Number

In this example, the Maximum Conversion Number is lower than the indicative

number of Ordinary Shares a Holder would receive per Note calculated using

the Conversion formula. As a result, the Maximum Conversion Number would

cap the number of Ordinary Shares a Holder would receive per Note at

18.5185 Ordinary Shares. If those Ordinary Shares were sold on ASX at the

same price as the VWAP (being $4.50), the Holder would receive $83.33 and

have suffered a loss on their investment of $16.67.

2.5.6

How many

Notes need to

be Converted or

Written Off on the

occurrence of a

Trigger Event?

If a Trigger Event occurs, ANZ must convert or write off sufficient Relevant

Securities (including some or all Notes) to restore the Common Equity Capital

Ratio to a percentage above 5.125%, or to satisfy APRA that ANZ is viable

without further conversion or write off (as applicable).

If ANZ is required to Convert some Notes, ANZ will endeavour to Convert

Notes and convert into Ordinary Shares or write off other Relevant Securities

on an approximately pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the

opinion of ANZ, fair and reasonable. This is subject to such adjustment as ANZ

may determine to take account of the effect on marketable parcels and the

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

Notes or other Relevant Securities remaining on issue. In addition, where the

Relevant Securities are in different currencies, ANZ may treat the Relevant

Securities as if converted into a single currency at rates of exchange it

considers reasonable. However, this determination must not impede the

immediate Conversion of the relevant number of Notes.

Holders should be aware that:

•Relevant Securities such as Notes, CN2, CN3, CN4, CN5 and CN6 will be

converted or written off before any Tier 2 Capital instruments are converted

or written off;

•ANZ has no obligation to maintain on issue any Relevant Securities and

does not, and may never, have on issue Relevant Securities which require

them to be converted or written off before the Notes or in full; and

•where a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs because APRA determines that,

without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support, ANZ

would become non-viable, all the Notes will be Converted.

The Conversion of Notes into Ordinary Shares on the Trigger Event Conversion

Date following the occurrence of a Trigger Event is not subject to the

Mandatory Conversion Conditions described in Section 2.2.2 being satisfied.

This means that, due to the application of the Maximum Conversion Number,

depending on the market price of Ordinary Shares at the time, Holders are

likely to receive significantly less than approximately $101 worth of Ordinary

Shares per Note and to suffer loss as a consequence.

Clauses 4.8, 4.9

and 9.11 of the

Note Terms

2.6 OTHER

2.6.1

Can ANZ issue

further Notes or

other instruments?

ANZ reserves the right to issue further securities of any kind (whether

ranking equally with, in priority to or junior to or having different rights

from the Notes) without the consent of the Holders.

Notes do not:

•confer on Holders any right to subscribe for new securities in ANZ or

to participate in any bonus issues of shares in ANZ’s capital;

•prevent ANZ from redeeming, buying back, converting, returning

capital on or converting any securities, other than the Notes

(except as described in Section 2.1.7); and

•prevent ANZ from incurring or guaranteeing any indebtedness upon

such terms as ANZ thinks fit in its sole discretion.

2.6.3

Can ANZ amend

the Note Terms?

Subject to complying with all applicable laws, ANZ may amend the Note

Terms without the consent of Holders in circumstances including where

ANZ reasonably considers the amendment:

• is made to correct a manifest error;

•is of a formal, minor or technical nature;

•is necessary to comply with any law, the provisions of any statute

or the requirements of any statutory authority;

•is made in accordance with ANZ’s adjustment rights in clause 6 of

the Note Terms;

• is expedient for the purposes of listing or clearing the Notes;

•amends certain dates or time periods in connection with Mandatory

Conversion or Exchange; or

•in any other case, will not materially adversely affect the rights of

Holders as a whole.

ANZ may also amend the Note Terms if the amendment has been approved

by a Special Resolution.

No amendment to the Note Terms is permitted without APRA’s prior written

approval if such amendment may affect the classification of Notes as

Additional Tier 1 Capital on a Level 1, Level 2 or (if applicable) Level 3 basis.

Clause 14 of the

Note Terms

2.6.4

What is an

Approved

NOHC Event?

An Approved NOHC Event is an event initiated by the Directors which would

result in ANZ having an ultimate holding company which is a “non-operating

holding company” within the meaning of the Banking Act (NOHC) and where,

following the occurrence of that event:

•the ordinary shares of the NOHC are listed on ASX; and

•the NOHC agrees to Convert the Notes into Ordinary Shares in the NOHC

in place of ANZ's obligation to Convert the Notes into Ordinary Shares.

If an Approved NOHC Event occurs, the Note Terms may be amended to

enable the substitution of the Approved NOHC as the issuer of ordinary

shares on Conversion (including following the Mandatory Conversion Date).

The Approved NOHC will use all reasonable endeavours to procure quotation

of these shares on the securities exchange on which its other Ordinary Shares

are quoted.

The occurrence of an Approved NOHC Event does not allow ANZ to elect

to Exchange Notes nor does it entitle Holders to Exchange their Notes.

Holders do not have any right to vote on an Approved NOHC Event

and Holders have no rights to require ANZ to give an Approved NOHC

Substitution Notice.

Following the substitution of an Approved NOHC as issuer of the Ordinary

Shares on Conversion, prior to Conversion, Holders continue to hold a security

in ANZ which ranks in a winding-up of ANZ as described in the table in

Section 1.3 and which is convertible into ordinary shares in the Approved

NOHC in the same circumstances in which it would have otherwise been

converted into Ordinary Shares in ANZ. Holders do not have any claim on the

assets of the Approved NOHC or any other subsidiary of the Approved NOHC

other than following Conversion as a holder of ordinary shares in the

Approved NOHC.

There is no restriction on an Approved NOHC declaring or paying a dividend

on, or buying back or reducing capital on its ordinary shares if ANZ does not

pay a Distribution on a Note.

(or ANZ believes that a Holder may not be a resident of Australia)

(such a Holder, a Foreign Holder) and that Foreign Holder’s Notes are to

issue the Ordinary Shares which the Holder is obliged to accept to the Holder

of the Notes net of FATCA Withholding and issue the balance of Ordinary

Shares to a nominee or issue the Ordinary Shares which the Holder is obliged

to accept entirely to a nominee. In each case, the nominee (which may not be

ANZ or a Related Entity of ANZ) will sell the Ordinary Shares issued to it, deal

with any proceeds of their disposal in accordance with FATCA and, where the

Ordinary Shares have been issued entirely to the nominee, pay a cash amount

3.1 THE REINVESTMENT OFFER

3.1.1

What are CN2?

CN2 (or ANZ Capital Notes 2) are fully paid, non-cumulative, convertible, transferable, redeemable,

subordinated, perpetual, unsecured notes that were issued by ANZ on 31 March 2014. CN2 trade

on the ASX under the ASX code “ANZPE”.

3.1.2

What is

happening to

CN2?

On 15 February 2022, ANZ issued a redemption notice in accordance with the CN2 terms. The

redemption notice confirms that on 24 March 2022, ANZ will redeem all CN2 for their face value

of $100 per CN2 (CN2 Redemption Price). If you are an Eligible CN2 Holder and participate in

the Reinvestment Offer, your CN2 Redemption Proceeds will be applied to subscribe for Notes

(see below for further details).

The redemption notice is irrevocable (except as provided by the CN2 terms) but the CN2

Redemption may not occur for a number of reasons, including if a trigger event occurs under

the CN2 terms or APRA revokes its approval of the CN2 Redemption.

If the CN2 Redemption does not occur, except as a result of a trigger event occurring in respect

of the CN2, CN2 holders will continue to hold their CN2.

To facilitate the CN2 Redemption, the CN2 will cease trading on ASX on 14 March 2022.

A final distribution of $1.1403 per CN2 is scheduled to be paid by ANZ in respect of all CN2 on

24 March 2022 (subject to the payment conditions in the CN2 terms and ANZ's absolute discretion)

(Final CN2 Distribution). The record date for the Final CN2 Distribution is 7.00pm on 16 March

2022. All holders of CN2 on the record date will be entitled to receive the Final CN2 Distribution,

including Eligible CN2 Holders who participate in the Reinvestment Offer.

3.1.3

What is the

Reinvestment

Offer?

The Reinvestment Offer is an invitation to Eligible CN2 Holders to apply to have some or all

of their CN2 Redemption Proceeds reinvested into Notes.

26


If you are an Eligible CN2 Holder and you participate in the Reinvestment Offer, your CN2

Redemption Proceeds that you reinvest into Notes will be used to fund the Application Payment

for the Notes. Those CN2 Redemption Proceeds will not be paid to you.

Eligible CN2 Holders are not required to participate in the Reinvestment Offer and there is no

guarantee Applications under the Reinvestment Offer will be accepted.

26 The market price of CN2 is subject to change from time to time and CN2 holders may be able to sell or dispose of their CN2 at a price higher or lower than

the price they would receive for the CN2 under the CN2 Redemption (being $100 per CN2). The current market price of CN2 is available at the ASX website

(asx.com.au).

3.3 WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATING

IN THE REINVESTMENT OFFER AND ACQUIRING NOTES?

There are certain risks associated with participating in the Reinvestment Offer and acquiring Notes, which include:

•the CN2 Redemption Price of $100 per CN2 (which does not include the Final CN2 Distribution) may be less than the

ASX trading price of CN2 (which may include an amount representing the accrued portion of the Final CN2 Distribution).

Rather than participating in the Reinvestment Offer, Eligible CN2 Holders may obtain a better financial outcome by selling

their CN2 on-market and investing the proceeds in ANZ Capital Notes 7 (although any Application may be scaled back);

•if you are an Eligible CN2 Holder and you apply for Notes under the Offer (pursuant to the Reinvestment Offer or

otherwise), you may receive an allocation of ANZ Capital Notes 7. As such, you will be subject to the risks associated

with an investment in ANZ Capital Notes 7 and in ANZ, many of which are outside the control of ANZ and its Directors.

These risks are outlined in Section 6 and should be considered before you apply under the Offer (including under the

Reinvestment Offer); and

•participation in the Reinvestment Offer does not involve a simple rollover into a similar investment. ANZ Capital Notes 7

and CN2 have different benefits and risks, which must be evaluated separately. For a description of the key differences

between the two securities, see Section 3.2.

5.3 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ABOUT ANZ

5.3.1 2021 Financial Year

The Group’s statutory profit after tax for the year ended

30 September 2021 attributable to the shareholders of

ANZ was $6,162 million, compared to $3,577 million for

the year ended 30 September 2020, an increase of 72%.

The dividend for the year ended 30 September 2021 was

142 cents per Ordinary Share (fully franked) compared to

60 cents per Ordinary Share (fully franked) for the year

ended 30 September 2020, an increase of 137%.

5.3.2 2022 Pillar 3 update

ANZ released its Pillar 3 and a market update for the

3 months to 31 December 2021 on 7 February 2022.

Further information is available at shareholder.anz.com/

announcements.

5.3.3 Historical results

The profit information in Section 5.3.1 is historical

information and is not a forecast of results to be expected

in future periods.

5.3.4 Impact of the Offer on ANZ’s

consolidated balance sheet

The issue of the Notes will increase the Group’s

subordinated debt and cash by approximately $985 million

($1 billion gross proceeds of the Offer, less approximately

$15 million of Offer costs) with no impact on the Group’s

net assets or shareholders’ equity.

If all CN2 are redeemed by ANZ on 24 March 2022, the

Group’s subordinated debt and cash would reduce by

approximately $1.61 billion, with no impact on the Group’s

net assets or shareholders’ equity.

On a net basis, the Offer of the Notes and the redemption

of all of the CN2 would reduce the Group’s subordinated

debt and cash by approximately $625 million. The Offer

of the Notes and the redemption of all of the CN2 will not

have a material impact on the Group’s financial position.

The impact has been prepared in accordance with the

measurement and recognition requirements of Australian

Accounting Standards and other mandatory reporting

requirements in Australia.

If ANZ raises more or less than $1 billion under the Offer,

the figures referred to above will be impacted accordingly.

5.4 CAPITAL ADEQUACY

5.4.1 Prudential regulation

APRA is the prudential regulator of the Australian financial

services industry.

ANZ is regulated by APRA because of its status as an

ADI. APRA’s Prudential Standards aim to ensure that ADIs

(including ANZ) remain adequately capitalised to support

the risks associated with their activities, absorb losses and

to generally protect Australian depositors.

To ensure that ADIs are adequately capitalised on both

a standalone and group basis, APRA adopts a tiered

approach to the measurement of an ADI’s capital adequacy

by assessing the ADI’s financial strength at three levels:

•Level 1 – the ADI on a standalone basis (i.e. ANZ and

specified subsidiaries which are considered to form

the ADI’s Extended Licensed Entity). This is the ANZ

Level 1 Group;

•Level 2 – the consolidated banking group (i.e. the

consolidated group less certain subsidiaries and

associates that are excluded under APRA’s Prudential

Standards). This is the ANZ Level 2 Group; and

•Level 3 – the conglomerate group at its widest level;

that is, ANZ and all its related bodies corporate.

This would also include a NOHC if applicable.

ANZ must also comply with a common framework

issued by the Basel Committee for the calculation of

capital adequacy, and the risk weighting of assets, for

banks worldwide (the Basel Framework). The objective

of the Basel Framework is to develop capital adequacy

guidelines that are more accurately aligned with the

individual risk profile of banks.

The Basel Framework requires ADIs to hold a certain level

of regulatory capital against its risk weighted assets (RWA).

An ADI calculates its RWA number by weighting its assets

(through applying a percentage factor) to reflect the risk

of loss to the ADI from those assets, in particular from

non-payment.

For more information on ANZ’s and the Group’s capital

ratios as at 31 December 2021 and the effect of the Offer,

see Sections 5.4.6 and 5.4.7.

5.4.2 Basel III Framework

ANZ has been accredited by APRA to use the Advanced

Internal Ratings Based (IRB) methodology for calculating

credit RWA, the Internal Models Approach (IMA) for market

risk including interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRB)

and the Advanced Measurement Approach for calculating

the operational RWA equivalent. The credit risk weightings

for a bank accredited to use the IRB methodology are

generally lower than the weightings applied to a bank

that does not have that accreditation and so must

use a standard set of risk weightings set by APRA

(the standardised approach). APRA views Basel III

requirements as a minimum standard and has accordingly

set higher requirements in some areas for ADIs using the

IRB methodology (IRB ADIs).

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

5.4.3 Prudential Capital Classification
APRA currently classifies an ADI’s regulatory capital

into three tiers for supervisory purposes – referred to as

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Additional Tier 1 Capital

and Tier 2 Capital.

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital comprises the highest

quality components of capital and includes shareholders’

equity adjusted for items which APRA does not allow as

regulatory capital or classifies as lower forms of regulatory

capital. The ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to RWA

is called the Common Equity Capital Ratio.

Additional Tier 1 Capital comprises certain securities

not classified as Common Equity Tier 1 Capital but with

loss absorbing characteristics including that, at the time

of “non-viability” of an ADI, these instruments will be either

converted to ordinary shares or written off (such as ANZ

Capital Securities and the ANZ Capital Notes 6). Additional

Tier 1 Capital together with Common Equity Tier 1 Capital

constitutes Tier 1 Capital and the ratio of Tier 1 Capital to

RWA is called the Tier 1 Capital Ratio.

Tier 2 Capital consists of subordinated instruments and,

whilst a lesser form of capital than Tier 1 Capital, still has

a capacity to absorb losses and contributes to the overall

capital framework. Tier 2 Capital will also be converted to

ordinary shares or written off at the time of 'non-viability'

of an ADI. Tier 2 Capital together with Tier 1 Capital

constitutes Total Capital and the ratio of Total Capital

to RWA is called the Total Capital Ratio.

APRA has confirmed that the Notes will constitute

Additional Tier 1 Capital for the purposes of ANZ’s

regulatory capital requirements.

5.4.4 APRA's Common Equity Capital

Ratio requirements

Minimum Capital Ratios

Subject to APRA’s changes to its capital requirements

discussed in section 5.4.5 below, APRA’s Basel III Prudential

Standards currently require a minimum Common Equity

Capital Ratio of 4.5%, although APRA may require ADIs,

such as ANZ, to maintain a higher capital ratio which may

not be disclosed (Prudential Capital Ratio or PCR). APRA

also currently requires ADIs to hold Common Equity Tier 1

Capital buffers (Combined Capital Buffers) consisting of:

•a capital conservation buffer (CCB) of 2.5%, unless

APRA determines otherwise; plus

•an additional capital buffer of 1.0% from 1 January 2016

given APRA has determined that ANZ is an important

bank to the Australian financial system (otherwise

known as a ‘domestic systemically important bank’

or a D-SIB); plus

•a counter-cyclical capital buffer (CCyB). In respect of

Australian exposures the buffer is currently 0%, although

it may vary over time up to 2.5% in response to market

conditions and APRA has provided guidance that the

CCyB would be set at the default rate of 1.0% for Australia

on the commencement of the new capital framework

on 1 January 2023 (refer to section 5.4.5 below).

Regulators in some jurisdictions in which ANZ operates

have set counter-cyclical capital buffers that apply to

exposures in that jurisdiction, and as such apply to ANZ.

As at 31 December 2021, the weighted average

aggregate of non-Australian counter-cyclical capital

buffers that apply to ANZ was 0%.

Volatility in the Common Equity Capital Ratios can be

expected to arise in the future reflecting the build-up of

current year earnings in normal conditions which increase

the ratio and the subsequent payment of Ordinary Share

Dividends (generally in July and December of each year)

which decrease the ratio.

References to the minimum capital ratio, which is the

aggregate of the PCR and the Combined Capital Buffers

(Minimum Capital Ratio), applicable under APRA’s

Prudential Standards are to general minima applying

under the APRA Prudential Standards, rather than

specific minima applying to ANZ.

The differences between the Common Equity Capital

Ratios for the ANZ Level 1 Group and ANZ Level 2 Group

relate principally to the capital held within offshore

banking subsidiaries and the treatment of insurance and

funds management subsidiaries at Level 1. So long as ANZ

is able to apply the Group's capital management strategy

to those subsidiaries, including repatriating dividends

from those subsidiaries (with the approval of the local

regulator), ANZ would expect that those capital ratios

would move in a similar way. However, there are instances

where the Level 1 and Level 2 capital ratios may diverge

and regulatory developments (such as those described

below) may increase the divergence.

The ANZ Level 1 Group's Common Equity Capital Ratio

has been impacted by the reduced dividends from its

New Zealand subsidiary as a result of the RBNZ’s restrictions

on the amount of dividends that New Zealand banks could

pay as well as the RBNZ’s requirements for New Zealand

banks to hold more capital. The Level 1 and Level 2

Common Equity Capital Ratios may also diverge further

as APRA’s proposed revisions to the capital treatment of

an ADI’s banking and insurance subsidiaries at Level 1

are implemented. These regulatory developments are

described in more detail in section 5.4.5 below.

Restrictions on the Payment of Distributions

If the Common Equity Capital Ratio for an ADI on a Level 1

or Level 2 basis falls below the Minimum Capital Ratio,

which is currently 8% under APRA’s Prudential Standards

for a D-SIB (although it may be higher for individual ADIs),

then the ADI is limited in the amount of relevant current

year post-tax earnings (adjusted to add back expenses for

Tier 1 Capital Distributions (as defined below) paid in the

immediately preceding 12 months) that it can pay as

discretionary bonuses to staff; distributions on Additional

Tier 1 Capital instruments (including the Notes) and

dividends and share buy-backs on Ordinary Shares

(Tier 1 Capital Distributions).

51

About ANZHow to ApplyTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

The amount of adjusted current year post tax earnings that can be paid as Tier 1 Capital Distributions (including Distributions
on the Notes) (Maximum Distributable Amount) is limited in accordance with the table below, after taking into account

other Tier 1 Capital Distributions paid in the 12-month period immediately preceding the relevant payment date and actual

and forecast capital raisings agreed with APRA.

The Combined Capital Buffer is divided into four quartiles for determining the maximum percentage of adjusted current year

post-tax earnings that an ADI is able to distribute when its Common Equity Capital Ratio falls within the relevant quartile:

An ADI may apply to APRA to make payments in excess of the Maximum Distributable Amount. APRA will only grant

approval where it is satisfied that an ADI has established measures to raise capital equal to or greater than the amount above

the constraint that it wishes to distribute. Australian Corporations law does not limit the sources of payment of Distributions

on the Notes to the profits of a particular year or period.

The Minimum Capital Ratio for a D-SIB, and so the point at which the Maximum Distributable Amount applies, may increase as

a result of the APRA capital reforms referred to in section 5.4.5 below. Section 5.4.5 also sets out the implications of any increase.

5.4.5 Regulatory Developments

Unquestionably strong capital requirements

The Australian Government completed a comprehensive inquiry into Australia’s financial system in 2014 (the Financial

Services Inquiry or FSI) which included a number of key recommendations that could have an impact on regulatory

capital levels. APRA's key initiatives in support of the recommendations include:

•In July 2017, APRA released an information paper outlining its assessment on the additional capital required for the

Australian banking sector to be considered ‘unquestionably strong’ as originally outlined in the FSI final report in

December 2014. APRA indicated that in the case of the four major Australian DSIBs, this equated to a benchmark Common

Equity Capital Ratio, under the current capital adequacy framework, of at least 10.5% from 1 January 2020.

•APRA released its final requirements in relation to capital adequacy and credit risk capital requirements for ADIs in

November 2021 for implementation from January 1, 2023 (APRA capital reforms). This follows the consultation process

that began in December 2020 when APRA released a consultation paper regarding proposed changes to the capital

framework for ADIs aimed at embedding “unquestionably strong” levels of capital, improving the flexibility of the

framework, and improving the transparency of ADI capital strength. Key aspects of APRA's final requirements are:

−increased alignment with internationally agreed Basel standards for non-residential mortgages exposures;

−implementing more risk-sensitive risk weights for residential mortgage lending;

−introduction of the Basel II capital floor that limits the RWA outcome for IRB ADIs to no less than 72.5% of the RWA

outcome under the standardised approach;

−improving the flexibility of the capital framework through the introduction of a default level of the countercyclical capital

buffer (“CCyB”) and increasing the capital conservation buffer (“CCB”) for IRB ADIs. This will have the effect of increasing the

Minimum Capital Ratio (incorporating the higher Combined Capital Buffers) from 8% to approximately 10 to 10.25%,

although the final outcome is uncertain and subject to the finalisation of the APRA capital reforms requirements;

−improving the transparency and comparability of ADIs' capital ratios, including by requiring IRB ADIs

to also publish their capital ratios under the standardised approach; and

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

52

« CONTENTS

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

−implementing a minimum leverage ratio for IRB ADIs
at 3.5%. APRA's “Leverage Ratio” compares Tier 1

Capital to the “exposure measure” (expressed as a

percentage) as defined by APRA Prudential Standard

APS110. It is designed as a non-risk based

supplement or backstop to the current risk based

capital requirements and is intended to restrict the

build-up of excessive leverage in the banking system.

APRA has indicated that the above changes will likely

result in a decrease in RWA, but this will be offset by the

increased capital allocation to the Combined Capital

Buffers. APRA has also indicated that, as ADIs are currently

meeting the “unquestionably strong” benchmarks, it is not

APRA's intention to require ADIs to raise additional capital.

Accordingly, APRA has therefore sought to calibrate

the proposed capital requirements for ADIs, measured in

dollar terms, to be consistent at an industry level with the

existing “unquestionably strong” capital benchmarks for

ADIs under the current capital framework. The impact

of these proposed changes on individual ADIs (including

ANZ), however, will vary depending on the final form of

requirements implemented by APRA and outcomes of the

applicable model accreditation process with APRA.

As such, subject to finalisation of the APRA capital reform

requirements, the impact of these changes on the excess

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital that ANZ holds at any time for

both the Level 1 and Level 2 Groups over the following

Common Equity Tier 1 ratio benchmarks are as follows:

•the excess over 5.125%, which is the point at which

a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event would occur,

may increase; and

•the excess over the point at which the Maximum

Distributable Amount starts, may be reduced mainly

reflecting the increased regulatory capital buffer

requirements.

However, APRA also stated that “capital buffers are

designed to allow for banks to operate within the

regulatory buffer range in periods of stress, to absorb

losses and continue lending without breaching minimum

requirements: this is the intent of the capital framework.

Regulatory buffers can be used if needed, and APRA does

not expect banks to maintain targets above the buffer

range in a severe stress".

APRA’s proposed revisions to ADI’s

capital adequacy requirements

In August 2021, APRA released the final version

of prudential standard APS111 Capital Adequacy:

Measurement of Capital, which came into effect on

1 January 2022. The most material change from the

current APS111 is in relation to the treatment of capital

investments for each banking and insurance subsidiary at

Level 1 with the tangible component of the investment

changing from a 400% risk weighting to:

•a 250% risk weighting up to an amount equal to 10%

of ANZ’s net Level 1 Common Equity Tier 1 Capital; and

•the remainder of the investment being treated as

a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Deduction.

ANZ is reviewing the implications for its current investments.

The net impact on the Group is unclear and will depend

upon a number of factors including:

•the capitalisation of the affected subsidiaries at

the time of implementation; and

•the effect of management actions being pursued

that have the potential to materially offset the impact

of these changes.

Based on ANZ’s current investment in its affected

subsidiaries and in the absence of any offsetting

management actions, the implementation of these changes

imply a reduction in the Common Equity Capital Ratio of

the ANZ Level 1 Group of up to approximately $2.5 billion

(approximately 0.7%). However, ANZ believes that this

outcome is unlikely and, post-implementation of the

management actions, the net capital impact could be

minimal. There is no impact on the Common Equity Capital

Ratio for the ANZ Level 2 Group arising from these changes.

The RBNZ review of capital requirements

In December 2019, the RBNZ announced its capital review

policy decisions for New Zealand banks. In November

2020, the RBNZ released for consultation its draft Banking

Prudential Requirements for these capital policy changes.

The key requirements include:

•a tier 1 capital requirement of 16% of RWA for ANZ's

New Zealand banking subsidiary ANZ Bank New Zealand

Limited (ANZ New Zealand) of which up to 2.5% of this

could be in the form of additional tier 1 capital. ANZ

New Zealand’s total capital requirement remains at 18%

of RWA of which up to 2% can be tier 2 capital;

•redeemable preference shares are allowable as

additional tier 1 capital;

•increasing RWA outcomes for IRB banks to

approximately 90% of what would be calculated

under the standardised approach; and

• implementation over a transition period concluding

on 1 July 2028.

The net impact on the Group is expected to be an

increase in required Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of

approximately $1 billion between 30 September 2021

and the end of the transition period in 2028 (based on

the Group’s 30 September 2021 balance sheet). This

amount could vary over time subject to changes to capital

requirements in ANZ New Zealand (for example, from

RWA growth or management buffer requirements),

potential dividend payments and the final form of

implementation of APRA’s prudential standard APS111

Capital Adequacy: Measurement of Capital.

RBNZ announcement on actions to support

the banking system

In April 2020, the RBNZ announced that to further support

the stability of the financial system during the period of

economic uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19

pandemic, New Zealand’s retail banks agreed with the

RBNZ that during that period there would be no payment

of dividends on ordinary shares and that they should not

redeem non-common equity tier 1 capital instruments.

53

About ANZHow to ApplyTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

In March 2021, the RBNZ announced that these restrictions on dividends and the redemption of non-common equity tier 1
capital instruments would be eased. As a result, ANZ New Zealand is now able to pay up to 50% of its earnings as dividends

to shareholders. These restrictions will remain in place until 1 July 2022, at which point the RBNZ intends to remove the

restrictions, subject to prevailing economic conditions.

APRA Guidance on Capital Management

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, APRA provided guidance on capital management, including as to its expectations

in relation to dividends. In December 2020, APRA updated its guidance, whereby from the 2021 calendar year, APRA will no

longer hold ADIs to a minimum level of earnings retention but ADIs will need to maintain vigilance and careful planning in

capital management, including conducting regular stress testing and assurance on the capacity to continue to lend. APRA

also stated that the onus will be on boards to carefully consider the sustainable rate for dividends, taking into account the

outlook for profitability, capital and economic environment.

The impact of regulatory developments is uncertain

Given the number of items that are yet to be finalised by APRA and the RBNZ, the final outcome of APRA's Unquestionably

Strong capital requirements and any further changes to APRA’s or the RBNZ's prudential standards, the impact of these

regulatory developments on the Group remains uncertain.

5.4.6 The ANZ Group’s Common Equity Capital Ratio

The Common Equity Capital Ratios of the ANZ Level 1 and Level 2 Groups were 11.2% and 11.6% at 31 December 2021

respectively. The December 2021 position incorporates the impacts from payment of the Final 2021 Group dividends, amongst

other movements in the capital base. At 30 September 2021, the Common Equity Capital Ratios of the ANZ Level 1 and Level 2

Groups were 12.0% and 12.3% respectively.

ANZ is currently targeting a Common Equity Capital Ratio above 10.5%, although this may change following finalisation

of the regulatory developments referred to in section 5.4.5 above. ANZ gives no assurance as to what its Common Equity

Capital Ratio for the ANZ Level 1 Group or ANZ Level 2 Group will be at any time. These ratios may be significantly impacted

by the currently proposed or future regulatory changes, unexpected events affecting ANZ's business, operations and

financial condition, any acquisitions or capital reductions and by APRA’s prescriptions for the determination of the ratios

at Level 1 or Level 2. Following the finalisation of the prudential standards described in section 5.4.5 above, ANZ's Common

Equity Capital Ratios, and the buffers of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ANZ holds above the Common Equity Capital Trigger

and Minimum Capital Ratio, may differ from current levels.

ANZ announced on 19 July 2021 that it intended to buy-back up to $1.5 billion of its Ordinary Shares on-market as part

of its capital management plan. As at 31 January 2022, ANZ had bought back $1.015 billion of its Ordinary Shares. On

7 February 2022, ANZ announced that its capital position continues to provide flexibility to return further surplus capital to

shareholders and that ANZ is considering increasing the size of its current on-market buy-back which would have the effect

of reducing ANZ's Common Equity Capital Ratios. Any decision to return surplus capital will balance the importance of capital

efficiency against maintaining an appropriately strong balance sheet and continued monitoring of the economic situation.

As at 31 December 2021, ANZ had $2.8 billion and $4.9 billion of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital for the ANZ Level 1 Group

and ANZ Level 2 Group respectively in excess of 10.5%. The 31 December 2021 capital position incorporates the impacts from

payment of the Group’s 2021 Final dividend of 72 cents per share (equivalent to $2.0 billion in Common Equity Tier 1 Capital).

The Common Equity Tier 1 Capital in excess of 10.5% is reduced to $2.2 billion and $4.4 billion respectively if adjusted

for $588 million of the outstanding on-market share buyback at 31 December 2021 required to complete the $1.5 billion

amount announced on 19 July 2021.

However, assuming ANZ had a Level 1 and Level 2 Common Equity Capital Ratio of 10.5% as at 31 December 2021, this

would have equated to approximately $21.2 billion and $23.2 billion of surplus Common Equity Tier 1 Capital for the ANZ

Level 1 Group and ANZ Level 2 Group respectively in excess of a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 5.125% which is the

point at which a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event would occur.

The graphs below show ANZ's current and historic Common Equity Capital Ratios at Level 1 and Level 2, highlighting the

amount of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital held (in percentage terms):

•between the current Minimum Capital Ratio of 8.0% and 10.5%; and

•between 10.5% and ANZ's actual Common Equity Tier 1 Capital applying at that time.

Currently, the Common Equity Capital Ratio for the ANZ Level 1 Group is lower than for the ANZ Level 2 Group and so is

the binding constraint when considering the impact of certain actions on ANZ’s capital ratios. However, in the future and

in certain circumstances the Level 2 ratio may become the binding constraint.

The purpose of the proforma capital adequacy ratios set out in the table below is to present the regulatory capital adequacy

position of the ANZ Level 2 Group as at 31 December 2021 adjusted for the effect of the proposed issue of $1 billion of Notes

under the Offer net of a redemption of the $1.61 billion of CN2 on 24 March 2022.

In the proforma adjustments contained in the table below:

•the fourth and fifth columns show the reduction in the 31 December 2021 capital adequacy ratios adjusting for

the completion of the $1.5 billion of on-market share purchase announced on 19 July 2021, of which $588 million

(of the $1.5 billion) remained outstanding as at 31 December 2021;

• the sixth and seventh columns show the reduction in the capital adequacy ratios if all the CN2 were redeemed;

•the eighth column shows the impact of the Offer of $1 billion of Notes less Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Deductions

of approximately $15 million, being the estimated costs of the Offer; and

•the last column shows the net effect of all of the above adjustments on the 31 December 2021 capital adequacy ratios.

If there is an over or under-subscription for the Notes, the Tier 1 Capital Ratio and Total Capital Ratio will be adjusted for

the amount of the over or under-subscription and associated transaction costs. ANZ’s capital adequacy ratios will also be

impacted by organic capital growth, changes in provisions and RWA growth since 31 December 2021.

5.5 FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY

5.5.1 Existing framework

Liquidity risk is the risk that an ADI is unable to meet its

payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying

depositors or maturing wholesale debt, or that an ADI has

insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets. The timing

mismatch of cash flows and the related liquidity risk is

inherent in all banking operations and is closely

monitored by ANZ and managed in accordance with

the risk appetite set by the Board.

ANZ’s liquidity and funding risks are governed by a

detailed policy framework that is approved by ANZ’s

Board Risk Committee. The management of the liquidity

and funding positions and risks is overseen by the Group

Asset and Liability Committee. ANZ’s liquidity risk appetite

is defined by the ability to meet a range of regulatory

requirements and internal liquidity metrics mandated by

ANZ’s Board Risk Committee. The metrics cover a range

of scenarios of varying duration and level of severity.

This framework helps:

•provide protection against shorter-term but more

extreme market dislocations and stresses;

•maintain structural strength in the balance sheet by

ensuring that an appropriate amount of longer-term

assets are funded with longer-term funding; and

•ensure no undue timing concentrations exist in

the Group’s funding profile.

A key component of this framework is the Liquidity

Coverage Ratio (LCR) that was implemented in Australia

on 1 January 2015. The LCR is a severe short-term liquidity

stress scenario, introduced as part of the Basel III

international framework for liquidity-risk measurement,

standards and monitoring. As part of meeting the LCR

requirements, ANZ has a Committed Liquidity Facility

(CLF) with the RBA. The CLF was established as a solution

to a High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) shortfall in the

Australian marketplace and provides an alternative form

of RBA-qualifying liquid assets. The total amount of the

CLF available to a qualifying ADI is set annually by APRA.

In September 2021, APRA wrote to ADIs to advise that

APRA and the RBA consider there to be sufficient HQLA

for ADIs to meet their LCR requirements, and therefore the

use of the CLF should no longer be required beyond 2022.

From 1 January 2021, ANZ’s CLF is $10.7 billion (2020

calendar year end: $35.7 billion). Consistent with APRA’s

requirement, ANZ’s CLF will decrease to zero through

equal reductions on 1 January, 30 April, 31 August and

31 December 2022. This reduction will be managed as

part of ANZ’s funding plans over this period.

In addition to the LCR, ANZ is also required to meet APRA’s

requirements with respect to the Net Stable Funding Ratio

(NSFR). The NSFR is a ratio of the amount of available

stable funding relative to the amount of required stable

funding and banks were required to meet a minimum

ratio requirement of 100% from 1 January 2018.

ANZ seeks to strictly observe its prudential obligations

in relation to liquidity and funding risk as required by

APRA Prudential Standard APS 210, as well the prudential

requirements of overseas regulators on ANZ’s offshore

operations.

5.5.2 Liquidity Ratio

ANZ’s Level 2 Group average LCR for the quarter to

31 December 2021 was 132.7%, above the minimum

requirement of 100%.

6.1 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTING IN ANZ CAPITAL NOTES 7
6.1.1 Liquidity

There may be no liquid market for Notes. Additionally, the market for Notes may be less liquid than the market for Ordinary

Shares or other securities issued by ANZ or other entities. Holders who wish to sell their Notes may be unable to do so at an

acceptable price, or at all, if insufficient liquidity exists in the market for Notes. If the Notes are traded after they are issued,

they may trade at a discount to their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar

securities, general economic conditions and the financial condition of ANZ and the Group. There may be a limited number

of buyers when you decide to sell the Notes. This may affect the price you receive for Notes or the ability to sell Notes at all.

Notes are expected to Convert into Ordinary Shares on 20 September 2031

30

(subject to certain conditions being satisfied)

unless Notes are otherwise Exchanged on or before that date. Where Notes are Converted, there may be no liquid market for

Ordinary Shares at or after the time of Conversion or the market for Ordinary Shares may be less liquid than that for securities

issued by other entities at the time of Conversion.

6.1.2 Financial Market conditions

The market price of Notes may move up or down due to various factors, including investor perceptions, worldwide

economic conditions, credit spreads, movements in the market price of Ordinary Shares or senior or subordinated debt, the

occurrence or potential occurrence of a Trigger Event or factors resulting in ANZ deciding or not being permitted to make

payments on the Notes, the method of calculating the outstanding amount (if any) of the Notes following a Conversion or

Write Off, the outstanding amount of Notes, the risk of early redemption following a Tax Event or Regulatory Event, ANZ’s

financial condition and results of operations, investor confidence and market liquidity, the level, direction and volatility of

market interest rates generally and factors that may affect ANZ’s financial performance and position. Notes may trade at

a market price below the Face Value.

The market price of Notes may be more sensitive than that of Ordinary Shares to changes in interest rates and credit spreads.

Increases in relevant interest rates or ANZ’s credit spread may adversely affect the market price of Notes. In recent years

markets have become more volatile. Volatility risk is the potential for fluctuations in the price of securities, sometimes

markedly and over a short period. Investing in volatile conditions implies a greater level of volatility risk for investors than

an investment in a more stable market. The volatility can be seen in the following chart which shows the average trading

price of selected ANZ Capital Securities quoted on the ASX compared to an adjusted ANZ ordinary share price.

You should carefully consider this additional volatility risk before making any investment in Notes.

The Ordinary Shares held as a result of any Conversion of Notes will, following Conversion, rank equally with existing Ordinary

Shares. Accordingly, the ongoing value of any Ordinary Shares received upon Conversion will depend upon the market price

of Ordinary Shares after the Mandatory Conversion Date or other date on which Notes are Converted. That market is also

subject to the factors outlined above and may also be volatile.

6.1.3 Exposure to ANZ’s financial performance and position
If the Group’s financial performance or position declines, or if market participants anticipate that it may decline, an

investment in Notes could decline in value even if Notes have not been Converted. Accordingly, when you evaluate whether

to invest in Notes, you should carefully evaluate the investment risks associated with an investment in ANZ – see Section 6.2.

6.1.4 Fluctuation in Ordinary Share Price

Upon Conversion (other than Conversion resulting from a Trigger Event – see Section 6.1.9), Holders will receive

approximately $101 worth of Ordinary Shares per Note (based on the VWAP during the 20 Business Days on which trading

in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding (but not including) the Mandatory Conversion Date or other date on

which Notes are Converted). The market price of Ordinary Shares will move up or down due to various factors, including

investor perceptions, domestic and worldwide economic conditions and ANZ’s or the Group’s financial performance and

position – see Section 6.1.2. In addition, a Trigger Event is likely to be accompanied by a deterioration in the market price of

the Ordinary Shares. The VWAP during the relevant period before the date of Conversion that is used to calculate the number

of Ordinary Shares that Holders receive may differ from the Ordinary Share price on or after the date of Conversion. This

means that the value of Ordinary Shares received may be more or less than anticipated when they are issued or thereafter.

The COVID-19 pandemic has, and will likely continue to, severely impact global, regional and national economies and

markets. The expected duration and magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impacts on the economy

and the market price for Ordinary Shares are unclear.

Other events and conditions may affect the ability of Holders to trade or dispose of the Ordinary Shares issued on

Conversion, for example, the willingness or ability of ASX to accept the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion for listing

or any practical issues which affect that listing, any disruption to the market for the Ordinary Shares or to capital markets

generally, the availability of purchasers for Ordinary Shares and any costs or practicalities associated with trading or disposing

of Ordinary Shares at that time, or laws of general application, including securities law and laws relating to the holding of

shares and other interests in financial institutions, which limit a person’s ability to acquire or dispose of Ordinary Shares.

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

6.1.5 Distributions may not be paid
There is a risk that Distributions will not be paid. There is

no obligation for ANZ to pay Distributions. Distributions

will only be paid at ANZ’s discretion. ANZ could exercise

its discretion not to pay Distributions at any time and for

any reason. The payment of Distributions is also subject to

the Payment Conditions – see Section 2.1.6. The Payment

Conditions require, among other things, that (1) making

the payment will not result in ANZ not complying with

APRA’s current capital adequacy arrangements, (2) making

the payment would not result in ANZ becoming, or being

likely to become, insolvent for the purposes of the

Corporations Act and (3) APRA not objecting to the

Distribution being paid. There is a risk that one or more

elements of the Payment Conditions will not be satisfied,

and there is therefore a risk that a Distribution may not

be paid in full or at all.

The Prudential Standards also impose restrictions on

the proportion of profits that can be paid through

ordinary dividends, Additional Tier 1 capital distributions

(including Distributions on the Notes) and discretionary

staff bonuses if the Common Equity Capital Ratio falls into

its Combined Capital Buffers – see Section 5.4.4.

Distributions may not be paid if APRA objects to the

payment of discretionary capital distributions. APRA

stated, in response to the significant disruption caused

by the COVID-19 pandemic, that it expected ADIs (such as

ANZ) to take a measured approach to capital distributions

until the economic outlook was clearer. While this

guidance is not expected to prohibit ANZ from paying

Distributions, there is the risk that if the economic outlook

remains negative or uncertain for a prolonged period of

time, APRA may object to the payment of a Distribution.

The Note Terms contain no events of default and,

accordingly, failure to pay a Distribution when scheduled

will not constitute an event of default. Further, in the

event that ANZ does not pay a Distribution when

scheduled, a Holder:

•has no right to apply for ANZ to be wound up, or placed

in administration, or to cause a receiver or a receiver and

manager to be appointed in respect of ANZ merely on

the grounds that ANZ does not pay a Distribution when

scheduled; and

•may not exercise any right of set-off and will have

no offsetting rights or claims on ANZ.

Distributions are non-cumulative, and therefore if a

Distribution is not paid Holders will have no recourse

whatsoever to payment from ANZ and will not receive

payment of that Distribution.

However, if ANZ does not pay a Distribution in full on a

Distribution Payment Date, then the Distribution Restriction

applies to ANZ unless the Distribution is paid in full within

3 Business Days of that date. The Distribution Restriction

only restricts distributions in respect of Ordinary Shares.

The restriction only applies until and including the

next quarterly Distribution Payment Date. The dates for

distribution with respect to Ordinary Shares are determined

by ANZ, generally occur twice a year and do not bear a

fixed relation to the Distribution Payment Dates for Notes.

Accordingly, as soon as the Distribution Restriction ceases

to apply (as will be the case if the next scheduled

Distribution is paid in full) ANZ will not be restricted from

making a distribution on its Ordinary Shares – see Section

2.1.7 for more details. Where an Approved NOHC is

substituted as the issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion,

there is no restriction on the Approved NOHC declaring or

paying a dividend on or, buying back or reducing capital

on its ordinary shares if ANZ does not pay a Distribution

on a Note (see Section 2.6.4).

Changes in regulations applicable to ANZ, or its other

obligations, may impose additional requirements which

prevent ANZ from paying a Distribution in additional

circumstances. Restrictions on the proportion of profits

that can be paid through ordinary dividends, additional

Tier 1 capital distributions (including Distributions on

ANZ Capital Notes 7) and discretionary staff bonuses will

apply if the Common Equity Capital Ratio falls into the

Combined Capital Buffer. For further information, see

Sections 5.4 and 6.1.9.

Refer to section 5.4.5 for details of APRA’s capital reform

requirements which will increase the Minimum Capital

Ratio (mainly reflecting the increased regulatory capital

buffers) and reduce the amount of Common Equity Tier 1

Capital in excess of the point at which the Maximum

Distributable Amount applies.

6.1.6 Distributions may not be fully franked

ANZ expects Distributions to be franked at the same rate

as dividends on Ordinary Shares. ANZ currently franks

Ordinary Shares at 100%. The level of franking may vary over

time and Distributions may be partially, fully or not franked.

There is no guarantee that ANZ will have sufficient franking

credits in the future to frank Distributions.

If a Distribution is unfranked or partially franked, the

amount of the cash Distribution paid on the Distribution

Payment Date for that Distribution will be increased to

compensate for the unfranked component, subject to

the Payment Conditions – see Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.6.

The value and availability of franking credits to a Holder

will differ depending on the Holder’s particular tax

circumstances. Holders should be aware that the potential

value of any franking credits does not accrue at the same

time as the receipt of any cash Distribution. Holders

should also be aware that the ability to use the franking

credits, either as an offset to a tax liability or by claiming

a refund after the end of the income year, will depend on

the individual tax position of each Holder and the tax rules

that apply at the time. The laws relating to the availability

of franking and franking credits may change.

Holders should be aware that they will not receive any

compensation or “gross up” if they are denied the benefit

of franking credits on their Distributions for any reasons.

Holders should also refer to the Taxation Summary in

Section 7, seek professional advice in relation to their tax

position and monitor any changes on an ongoing basis.

6.1.7 Changes in Distribution Rate
The Distribution Rate is calculated for each Distribution

Period by reference to the BBSW Rate, which is

influenced by a number of factors and varies over time.

The Distribution Rate will move (both increasing and

decreasing) over time as a result of movements in the

BBSW Rate – see Section 2.1.4.

As the Distribution Rate moves, there is a risk that it

may become less attractive when compared to the rates

of return available on other securities issued by ANZ or

other entities.

It is possible for the BBSW Rate to be negative. If this

occurs, the negative amount will be taken into account in

calculating the Distribution Rate. Even if the Distribution

Rate is calculated to be negative, there will be no

obligation on Holders to pay ANZ.

ANZ does not guarantee any particular rate of return

on Notes. Changes in the corporate tax rate will also

affect the Distribution Rate. If the corporate tax rate were

to change, the cash amount of Distributions and the

amount of any franking credits will change.

6.1.8 ANZ Capital Notes 7 are perpetual and

Mandatory Conversion may not occur on the

Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date or at all

Notes are expected to Convert into Ordinary Shares on

20 September 2031

31

(subject to certain conditions being

satisfied) unless Notes are otherwise Exchanged on or

before that date. However, there is a risk that Conversion

will not occur because the Mandatory Conversion

Conditions are not satisfied due to, for example, a large fall

in the Ordinary Share price relative to the Issue Date VWAP,

or if Ordinary Shares cease to be quoted on ASX, or have

been suspended from trading for at least five consecutive

Business Days prior to, and remain suspended on, the

Mandatory Conversion Date. The Ordinary Share price may

be affected by transactions affecting the share capital of

ANZ, such as rights issues, placements, returns of capital,

certain buy-backs and other corporate actions. The Issue

Date VWAP is adjusted only for transactions by way of the

consolidation, division or reclassification of Ordinary

Shares and pro rata bonus issues of Ordinary Shares as

described in clause 6 of the Note Terms and not for other

transactions, including rights issues, placements, returns

of capital, buy-backs or special dividends. The Note Terms

do not limit the transactions which ANZ may undertake

with respect to its share capital and any such action may

affect whether Conversion will occur and may adversely

affect the position of Holders.

If Mandatory Conversion does not occur on the Scheduled

Mandatory Conversion Date, Mandatory Conversion

would then occur on the first Distribution Payment Date

following the Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date on

which all of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are

satisfied unless Notes are otherwise Exchanged on or

before that date. If Mandatory Conversion does not occur

on a possible Mandatory Conversion Date, Distributions

may continue to be paid on Notes so long as they are

on issue, subject to the Payment Conditions.

However, Notes are a perpetual instrument. If the

Ordinary Share price deteriorates significantly and never

recovers, it is possible that the Mandatory Conversion

Conditions will never be satisfied and, if this occurs,

Notes will never Convert.

6.1.9 Conversion on account of a Trigger Event

There are two types of Trigger Events:

•a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; and

•a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

ANZ must Convert Notes into Ordinary Shares if at any

time a Trigger Event occurs. This could be before or after

the Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date. Accordingly,

any such Conversion on account of a Trigger Event may

occur on dates not previously contemplated by Holders,

which may be disadvantageous in light of market

conditions or their individual circumstances and may not

coincide with their individual preference in terms of timing.

The Common Equity Capital Trigger Event is based on

APRA’s definition of the Common Equity Capital Ratio

which means (i) in respect of the ANZ Level 1 Group,

the ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted

assets of the ANZ Level 1 Group and (ii) in respect of the

ANZ Level 2 Group, the ratio of Common Equity Tier 1

Capital to risk weighted assets of the ANZ Level 2 Group,

in each case, as prescribed by APRA from time to time.

The Common Equity Capital Ratio may be significantly

impacted by a number of factors, including factors which

affect the business, operation and financial condition of

ANZ, and by APRA's prescriptions for the determination of

the ratios at Level 1 or Level 2. Accordingly, there is a risk

that ANZ’s Common Equity Capital Ratio falls to 5.125%

or below and that as a result, Notes Convert into Ordinary

Shares before the Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date.

The Non-Viability Trigger Event means the earlier of:

•the issuance of a notice in writing by APRA to ANZ

that conversion or write off of Relevant Securities is

necessary because, without it, APRA considers that

ANZ would become non-viable; or

•a determination by APRA, notified to ANZ in writing,

that without a public sector injection of capital, or

equivalent support, ANZ would become non-viable.

APRA has not provided specific guidance on when it

will consider an entity to be non-viable. However, APRA

has indicated that non-viability is likely to arise prior to

the insolvency of an ADI. Non-viability could be expected

to include serious impairment of APRA’s financial position

and insolvency; however, it is possible that APRA’s

definition of non-viable may not necessarily be confined

to solvency or capital measures and APRA’s position on

31 Due to the Business Day convention, the Mandatory Conversion Date is deferred from 20 September 2031 to 22 September 2031.

61

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

these matters may change over time. As the occurrence
of a Non-Viability Trigger Event is at the discretion of APRA,

there can be no assurance given as to the factors and

circumstances that might give rise to this event.

Non-viability may be significantly impacted by a number

of factors, including factors which affect the business,

operation and financial condition of ANZ. For instance,

systemic and non-systemic macroeconomic,

environmental and operational factors, globally and in

Australia and New Zealand may affect the viability of ANZ.

Conversion resulting from the occurrence of a Trigger

Event is not subject to the Mandatory Conversion

Conditions or other conditions. This is likely to mean

that Holders would receive significantly less than $101

worth of Ordinary Shares per Note (and suffer loss as

a consequence) because:

•the number of Ordinary Shares issued per Note is

limited to the Maximum Conversion Number and this

number of Ordinary Shares may have a value of less

than $101;

•if the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued is

calculated, based on VWAP, to be less than the

Maximum Conversion Number, the VWAP may differ

from the Ordinary Share price on or after the Trigger

Event Conversion Date. In particular, VWAP prices will

be based on trading days which occurred before the

Trigger Event Conversion Date;

•the Ordinary Shares received on Conversion as well as

ANZ’s Ordinary Shares generally may not be listed and

so may not be able to be sold at prices reflecting their

values (calculated based on VWAP) or at all; and/or

•the Maximum Conversion Number may be adjusted

to reflect a consolidation, division or reclassification of

Ordinary Shares and pro rata bonus issues as set out in

the Note Terms. However, no adjustment will be made

to it on account of other transactions which may affect

the price of Ordinary Shares, including for example

rights issues, returns of capital, buy-backs or special

dividends. The Note Terms do not limit the transactions

that ANZ may undertake with respect to its share capital

and any such action may increase the risk that Holders

receive only the Maximum Conversion Number and so

may adversely affect the position of Holders.

If, following a Trigger Event, Conversion has not been

effected within five Business Days after the Trigger Event

Conversion Date for any reason (including where ANZ is

prevented from Converting the Notes by applicable law

or order of any court or action of any government

authority (including regarding the insolvency, winding-up

or other external administration of ANZ) or other reason

(an Inability Event), Notes which would otherwise be

Converted, will not be Converted, but instead, the rights

of the Holder (including to the payment of Distributions

and Face Value) in relation to such Notes will be

immediately and irrevocably written off and terminated

with effect on and from the Trigger Event Conversion

Date and Holders will suffer loss as a result.

The laws under which an Inability Event may arise

include laws relating to the insolvency, winding-up or

other external administration of ANZ. Those laws and the

grounds on which a court or government authority may

make orders preventing the Conversion of Notes may

change and the change may be adverse to the interests

of Holders.

Holders should be aware that:

•Relevant Securities such as Notes will be converted

or written off before any Tier 2 Capital instruments

are converted or written off;

•ANZ has no obligation to maintain on issue any

Relevant Securities and does not, and may never, have

on issue Relevant Securities which require them to be

converted or written off before Notes or in full;

•where a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs because

APRA determines that, without a public sector injection

of capital or equivalent support, ANZ would become

non-viable, all the Notes will be Converted;

•the greater the amount of Relevant Securities and Tier 2

Capital instruments that are required to be converted,

the more likely the market price of Ordinary Shares may

be adversely affected as a result of the conversion; and

•Relevant Securities are likely to have different maximum

conversion numbers depending upon the price of

Ordinary Shares at the time those instruments were

issued. A holder of Capital Notes 7 who receives the

Maximum Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares on

Conversion of their Notes may receive fewer Ordinary

Shares per Note than a holder of another Relevant

Security the terms of which provide for a higher

maximum conversion number.

6.1.10 Exchange and Exchange Method

may be at ANZ’s option

ANZ may (subject to APRA’s prior written approval) elect

to Exchange some or all Notes on an Optional Exchange

Date or on the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Regulatory

Event, in accordance with the Note Terms. Holders have

no right to request or require an Exchange.

Any such Exchange at ANZ’s option may occur on dates

not previously contemplated by Holders, which may be

disadvantageous in light of market conditions or their

individual circumstances and may not coincide with their

individual preference in terms of timing. This also means

that the period for which Holders will be entitled to the

benefit of the rights attaching to Notes (such as

Distributions) is unknown.

Subject to certain conditions, ANZ also has in many cases

a discretion to elect which Exchange Method will apply

to an Exchange. The method chosen by ANZ may be

disadvantageous to Holders and may not coincide with

their individual preference in terms of whether they

receive Ordinary Shares or cash on the relevant date.

For example, if APRA approves an election by ANZ to

Redeem or Resell the Notes, Holders will receive cash

equal to $100 per Note rather than Ordinary Shares and,

accordingly, they will not benefit from any subsequent

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

increases in the Ordinary Share price after the Redemption
or Resale occurs. In addition, where Holders receive cash

on Redemption or Resale, the rate of return at which

they could reinvest their funds may be lower than the

Distribution Rate at the time. Where Holders receive

Ordinary Shares on Conversion, they will have the same

rights as other Shareholders, which are different to the

rights attaching to Notes.

If ANZ elects to Resell Notes but the purchaser does not

pay the Face Value of any Notes on the Exchange Date,

those Notes will not be transferred and a Holder has

no claim on ANZ as a result of that non-payment.

6.1.11 Conversion on Change of Control Event

If a Change of Control Event occurs, ANZ is required to

Convert all Notes in accordance with the Note Terms

(see Clause 4.10 of the Note Terms). ANZ must, subject to

Clause 4.10 of the Note Terms, give a Change of Control

Conversion Notice to Convert the Notes.

The Notes cannot Convert on the occurrence of a Change

of Control Event if the restrictions on Conversion described

in Section 2.4.3 apply.

If the restrictions prevent Conversion, ANZ will, as noted

in Section 2.4.4, give a new Change of Control Conversion

Notice which will specify Conversion as the Exchange

Method for Conversion on the next Distribution Payment

Date (under Clause 3.5(a) of the Note Terms). Conversion

will not occur if the restrictions described in Section 2.4.3

apply on that date. This process will be repeated for each

Distribution Payment Date (under Clause 3.5(a) of the

Note Terms) until a Conversion occurs. If these restrictions

continue to apply, there is a risk that the Notes remain on

issue following the occurrence of a Change of Control Event.

6.1.12 Optional Exchange by ANZ is subject

to certain events occurring

If ANZ wishes to Exchange Notes, APRA’s prior written

approval is required. Holders should not expect that

APRA will give its approval to any Exchange.

The choice of Conversion as the Exchange Method

is subject to the level of the Ordinary Share price on

the second Business Day before the date on which an

Exchange Notice is to be sent by ANZ (or, if trading

in Ordinary Shares did not occur on that date, the last

Business Day prior to that date on which trading in

the Ordinary Shares occurred).

If the VWAP on that date is less than or equal to 22.50%

of the Issue Date VWAP, ANZ is not permitted to choose

Conversion as the Exchange Method. Also if a Delisting

Event has occurred in respect of that date, ANZ is not

permitted to choose Conversion as the Exchange Method.

The conditions to Conversion on the Exchange Date are

that the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition (as if it

referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date VWAP) and the Third

Mandatory Conversion Condition must both be satisfied

in respect of the Exchange Date as if the Exchange

Date were a possible Mandatory Conversion Date.

If the conditions to Conversion on the Exchange

Date are not satisfied, ANZ will notify Holders and the

Conversion will be deferred until the first Distribution

Payment Date (under Clause 3.5(a) of the Note Terms)

following that Exchange Date on which the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions would be satisfied as if that

Distribution Payment Date were a possible Mandatory

Conversion Date.

The choice of Redemption as the Exchange Method

is subject to the condition that the Notes that are the

subject of the Exchange, are replaced concurrently or

beforehand with Tier 1 Capital of the same or better

quality and the replacement of the Notes is done under

conditions that are sustainable for ANZ’s income capacity,

or that APRA is satisfied that the capital position of the

ANZ Level 1 Group, the ANZ Level 2 Group and, if

applicable, the ANZ Level 3 Group is well above its

minimum capital requirements after ANZ elects to

Redeem Notes.

6.1.13 Conversion conditions

The only conditions to Conversion are, in the case

of Mandatory Conversion, the Mandatory Conversion

Conditions and, in the case of Conversion following a

Change of Control Event or an Exchange at ANZ’s option,

the conditions expressly applicable to such Conversion

under Clauses 4.10 or 5 of the Note Terms (as the case may

be). No other conditions will affect the Conversion except

as expressly provided by the Note Terms – see Clause

9.10(e) of the Note Terms.

Other events and conditions may affect the ability of

Holders to trade or dispose of the Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion, for example, the willingness or ability of

ASX to accept the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion

for listing or any practical issues which affect that listing,

any disruption to the market for the Ordinary Shares or to

capital markets generally, the availability of purchasers for

Ordinary Shares and any costs or practicalities associated

with trading or disposing of Ordinary Shares at that time.

Furthermore, as set out in Section 6.1.9, Conversion

following a Trigger Event is not subject to any conditions.

6.1.14 Restrictions on rights and ranking

in a winding-up of ANZ

Notes are not deposit liabilities of ANZ and the payment

of Distributions and payment on Redemption or Resale is

not guaranteed by ANZ. Notes are not protected accounts

for the purposes of the depositor protection provisions in

Division 2 of Part II of the Banking Act or the Financial

Claims Scheme established under Division 2AA of Part II of

the Banking Act. Notes are not guaranteed or insured by

any government, government agency or compensation

scheme of Australia or any other jurisdiction. A Holder has

no claim on ANZ in respect of Notes except as provided in

the Note Terms. Notes are unsecured.

63

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

In the event of a winding-up of ANZ, and assuming Notes
have not been Converted or Written Off, Holders will be

entitled to claim for an amount equal to the Face Value.

The claim for this amount ranks ahead of Ordinary Shares,

equally with the ANZ Capital Securities and any other

Equal Ranking Instruments, but behind all senior ranking

securities and instruments and all depositors and other

creditors. Claims in respect of Notes are subordinated and,

notwithstanding a winding-up of ANZ, rank as Preference

Shares as set out in the Note Terms. However, the claim

of Holders in a winding-up will be adversely affected if

a Trigger Event occurs. If, following a Trigger Event, Notes

are Converted into Ordinary Shares, Holders will have a

claim as an Ordinary Shareholder. If, following a Trigger

Event, Notes are Written Off, those Notes will never be

Converted or Exchanged, all rights in relation to those

Notes will be terminated and Holders will not have their

capital repaid.

If there is a shortfall of funds on a winding-up of ANZ to

pay all amounts ranking senior to and equally with Notes,

there is a significant risk that Holders will not receive all

(or any part of ) an amount equal to the Face Value in a

winding-up of ANZ. Although the Notes may pay a higher

rate of distribution than comparable instruments which

are not subordinated, there is a significant risk that a

Holder will lose all or some of their investment should

ANZ become insolvent.

6.1.15 Changes to credit ratings

ANZ’s cost of funds, margins, access to capital markets

and competitive position and other aspects of its

performance may be affected if it fails to maintain

credit ratings (including any long-term credit ratings

or the ratings assigned to any class of its securities).

Real or anticipated changes in the credit rating of ANZ

will generally affect any trading market for, or trading

value of, the Notes.

A credit rating is subject to suspension, reduction or

withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Any

suspension, reduction or withdrawal of a rating by a rating

agency could reduce the liquidity or market value of the

Notes or Ordinary Shares received on Conversion of Notes.

6.1.16 Regulatory classification

APRA has provided confirmation that Notes will, once

issued, constitute Additional Tier 1 Capital. However, if as

a result of a change of Australian law or regulation or any

statement of APRA, APRA subsequently determines that

all of the Notes are not or will not qualify as Additional Tier

1 Capital, ANZ may decide that a Regulatory Event has

occurred. A Regulatory Event will not arise where at the

Issue Date ANZ expected the event would occur.

A Regulatory Event will allow Exchange of all or some

Notes on issue at the option of ANZ (subject to APRA’s

prior written approval). For the risks attaching to ANZ’s

discretion to Exchange in certain specified circumstances

see Section 6.1.10.

6.1.17 Australian tax consequences

A general outline of the tax consequences of investing

in Notes for certain potential investors is set out in the

Taxation Summary in Section 7. This discussion is in

general terms and is not intended to provide specific

advice addressing the circumstances of any particular

potential investor. Accordingly, potential investors should

seek independent advice concerning their own individual

tax position.

Broadly, if a change is made to the Australian tax

law or practice and that change leads to a more than

insubstantial risk of:

•a more than insignificant increase in ANZ’s costs

in relation to Notes; or

•a distribution on Notes not being frankable,

ANZ is entitled to Exchange all or some Notes (subject

to APRA’s prior written approval – see Section 6.1.10). ANZ

will not be entitled to Exchange in these circumstances

if ANZ expected the event on the Issue Date.

If the corporate tax rate were to change, the cash amount

of Distributions and the amount of any franking credits

will change. For instance, if the tax rate decreases the cash

amount of any Distribution ANZ may pay would increase

and the franking credits attached to that Distribution

would decrease.

ANZ has applied for a class ruling from the Australian

Taxation Office for confirmation of certain Australian tax

consequences for Holders as discussed in the Taxation

Summary in Section 7.

6.1.18 Accounting standards

A change in accounting standards by either the

International Accounting Standards Board or Australian

Accounting Standards Board may affect the reported

earnings and financial position of ANZ in future financial

periods. This may adversely affect the ability of ANZ to

pay Distributions.

6.1.19 Future issues or redemptions

of securities by ANZ

Notes do not in any way restrict ANZ from:

•issuing further securities of any kind (whether ranking

with, in priority to or junior to or having different rights

from the Notes);

• incurring or guaranteeing further indebtedness; or

•redeeming, buying back, converting, returning capital

or converting any securities, other than the Notes

(except as described in Section 2.1.7).

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

ANZ’s obligations under Notes rank subordinate and
junior in right of payment and in a winding-up to ANZ’s

obligations to holders of senior ranking securities and

instruments, and its depositors and other creditors,

including subordinated creditors. Accordingly, ANZ’s

obligations under Notes will not be satisfied unless it

can satisfy in full all of its other obligations ranking

senior to Notes.

The Notes do not restrict ANZ from issuing securities

of any kind (whether ranking with, in priority to or junior

to or having different rights from the Notes). Accordingly,

ANZ may in the future issue securities that:

•rank for dividends or payments of capital (including

on the winding-up of ANZ) equal with, behind or ahead

of Notes;

•have the same or different dividend, interest or

distribution rates as Notes;

•have payment tests and distribution restrictions or other

covenants which affect Notes (including by restricting

circumstances in which Distributions can be paid on

Notes or Notes can be Redeemed); or

•have the same or different terms and conditions

as Notes.

ANZ may incur further indebtedness and may issue

further securities including further Tier 1 Capital securities

before, during or after the issue of Notes. For example,

as part of its ongoing capital management program,

ANZ continually considers the issuance of Tier 1 Capital

securities in domestic and offshore markets.

An investment in Notes carries no right to participate in

any future issue of securities (whether equity, Additional

Tier 1 Capital, subordinated or senior debt or otherwise)

by ANZ.

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, which

the future issue of securities by ANZ may have on the

market price or liquidity of Notes or of the likelihood

of ANZ making payments on Notes.

Similarly, Notes do not restrict ANZ from redeeming or

otherwise repaying its other existing securities, including

other existing securities which rank equally with or junior

to Notes (other than to the extent the Distribution

Restrictions apply).

ANZ may redeem or otherwise repay existing securities

including existing equal or junior ranking Tier 1 Capital

securities before, during or after the issue of Notes. An

investment in Notes carries no right to be Redeemed

or otherwise repaid at the same time as ANZ redeems

or otherwise repays other securities (whether equity,

Additional Tier 1 Capital, subordinated or senior debt

or otherwise).

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, which

the future redemption or repayment by ANZ of existing

securities may have on the market price or liquidity of

Notes or on ANZ’s financial position or performance.

as Approved NOHC Events. Where an Approved NOHC

Event occurs and certain other conditions are satisfied,

the Approved NOHC Event will not trigger a Conversion

of Notes but will instead allow ANZ to make amendments

to substitute the Approved NOHC as the issuer of the

ordinary shares issued on Conversion and will permit ANZ

to make certain other amendments to the Note Terms.

Accordingly, potential investors should be aware that, if

an Approved NOHC Event occurs and a substitution of

the issuer of the ordinary shares on Conversion is effected

under the Note Terms, Holders will be obliged to accept

the Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares and will not receive

Ordinary Shares on Conversion.

Potential investors should also be aware that Holders

may not have a right to vote on any proposal to approve,

implement or give effect to a NOHC Event.

ANZ has made no decision to implement a NOHC.

Following an Approved NOHC Event, ANZ would continue

to be regulated by APRA. However, depending on the

structure of the acquirer following an Approved NOHC

Event and the capital framework which APRA determines

to apply to it, the composition of ANZ’s three capital

measurement levels may be affected, which in turn

may affect the likelihood of ANZ being able to make

Distributions on Notes.

After an Approved NOHC Event Holders will remain

noteholders in ANZ with the same rights to Distributions

and to payment in a winding-up of ANZ as before the

Approved NOHC Event, but on Conversion Holders will

receive ordinary shares in the Approved NOHC and not

Ordinary Shares in ANZ. However, potential investors should

be aware that, although there may be circumstances where

a Distribution Restriction applies to ANZ where ANZ does

not pay a Distribution on a Note (see Section 2.1.7 and

6.1.5), after an Approved NOHC Event has occurred, the

Approved NOHC would not be subject, under the Note

Terms, to a restriction on the payment of distributions on

its share capital where ANZ fails to pay a Distribution on a

Note. Notes will remain quoted on ASX, but ANZ’s Ordinary

Shares may cease to be quoted.

Where an Approved NOHC Event is accompanied by

a transfer of assets from ANZ or a subsidiary to the

Approved NOHC or another subsidiary of the Approved

NOHC, ANZ may as a result have reduced assets which

may affect its credit rating and its ability to meet the

claims of its creditors and shareholders (including

Holders). Holders do not have any claim on the assets

of the Approved NOHC or any other subsidiary of the

Approved NOHC other than following Conversion as

a holder of ordinary shares in the Approved NOHC.

6.1.21 Shareholding limits and nominee sales
The Financial Sector (Shareholdings) Act 1998 (Cth) restricts

ownership by people (together with their associates) of an

Australian bank, such as ANZ, to a 20% stake. A shareholder

may apply to the Australian Treasurer to extend their

ownership beyond 20%, but approval will not be granted

unless the Treasurer is satisfied that a holding by that

person greater than 20% is in the national interest.

Mergers, acquisitions and divestments of Australian

public companies listed on ASX (such as ANZ) are

regulated by detailed and comprehensive legislation and

the rules and regulations of ASX. These provisions include

restrictions on the acquisition and sale of relevant interests

in certain shares in an Australian listed company under the

Corporations Act and a requirement that acquisitions of

certain interests in Australian listed companies by foreign

interests are subject to review and approval by the

Treasurer. In addition, Australian law also regulates

acquisitions which would have the effect, or be likely

to have the effect, of substantially lessening competition

in a market, or in a state or in a territory of, Australia.

Holders should take care to ensure that by acquiring any

Notes (taking into account any Ordinary Shares into which

they may Convert), Holders do not breach any applicable

restrictions on ownership.

If the Register indicates that a Holder’s address is outside

of Australia (or ANZ believes that a Holder may not be

a resident of Australia) (such a Holder, a Foreign Holder)

and that Foreign Holder’s Notes are to be Converted, ANZ

is entitled in certain circumstances to issue the relevant

Ordinary Shares to a nominee (who may not be ANZ or a

Related Entity of ANZ) who will sell those Ordinary Shares

and pay a cash amount equal to the net proceeds to the

Foreign Holder. There is a risk that ANZ may not be able

to appoint a nominee as the ability to appoint a nominee

may depend, among other things, upon the availability

of a suitable person to act as nominee.

Where a FATCA Withholding would be required or

permitted to be made in respect of Ordinary Shares

issued on Conversion of Notes, ANZ may either issue the

Ordinary Shares which the Holder is obliged to accept

to the Holder of the Notes net of FATCA Withholding and

issue the balance of Ordinary Shares to a nominee or will

issue the Ordinary Shares which the Holder is obliged to

accept entirely to a nominee. In each case, the nominee

(which may not be ANZ or a Related Entity of ANZ) will sell

the Ordinary Shares issued to it, deal with any proceeds

of their disposal in accordance with FATCA and, where the

Ordinary Shares have been issued entirely to the nominee,

pay a cash amount equal to the proceeds of their disposal

net of any FATCA Withholding and other amounts as

specified in the Note Terms to the Holder.

None of ANZ or the nominee owes any obligations or

duties to 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.

6.1.22 Powers of a Banking Act

Statutory Manager and of APRA

In certain circumstances APRA may appoint a statutory

manager to take control of the business of an ADI, such as

ANZ. Those circumstances are defined in the Banking Act

and include (but are not limited to):

•where the ADI becomes unable to meet its obligations

or suspends payment;

•where the ADI informs APRA that it considers it

is likely to become unable to meet its obligations,

or is about to suspend payment;

•where APRA considers that, in the absence of external

support:

−the ADI may become unable to meet its obligations;

−the ADI may suspend payment;

−it is likely that the ADI will be unable to carry on

banking business in Australia consistently with

the interests of its depositors; or

−it is likely that the ADI will be unable to carry on

banking business in Australia consistently with

the stability of the financial system in Australia; or

•where, in certain circumstances, the ADI is in default

of compliance with a direction by APRA to comply with

the Banking Act or regulations made under it and the

Federal Court of Australia authorises APRA to assume

control of the ADI’s business.

The powers of a Banking Act statutory manager include

the power to alter an ADI’s constitution, to issue, cancel

or sell shares (or rights to acquire shares) in the ADI and

to vary or cancel rights or restrictions attached to shares

in a class of shares in the ADI. The Banking Act statutory

manager is authorised to do so despite the Corporations

Act, the ADI’s constitution, any contract or arrangement

to which the ADI is party or the Listing Rules. The Banking

Act statutory manager may also dispose of the whole or

part of an ADI’s business. In the event that a Banking Act

statutory manager is appointed to ANZ in the future, these

broad powers of a Banking Act statutory manager may

be exercised in a way which adversely affects the rights

attaching to the Notes and the position of Holders.

APRA may, in certain circumstances, require ANZ to

transfer all or part of its business to another entity under

the Financial Sector (Transfer and Restructure) Act 1999

(Cth) (the FSTR Act).

A transfer under the FSTR Act overrides anything in any

contract or agreement to which ANZ is party and thus

may have an adverse effect on ANZ’s ability to comply

with its obligations under the Notes and the position

of Holders.

In addition, Holders should be aware that secrecy

obligations may apply to action taken by APRA. This

means that information about action taken by APRA

(including in exercise of its powers under the Banking Act)

may not be publicly disclosed.

6.1.23 Amendment of Note Terms
ANZ may, in certain circumstances, amend the Note Terms

without the consent of Holders. ANZ may also amend the

Note Terms if the amendment has been approved by a

Special Resolution of Holders. However, no amendment to

the Note Terms is permitted without APRA’s prior written

approval if such amendment may affect the classification

of ANZ Capital Notes 7 as Additional Tier 1 Capital on a

Level 1, Level 2 or (if applicable) Level 3 basis. This applies

regardless of whether such amendment would require

Holder approval. Amendments under these powers are

binding on all Holders despite the fact that a Holder may

not agree with the amendment.

6.1.24 No rights with respect to Ordinary Shares

Holders have no voting or other rights in relation to

Ordinary Shares until Ordinary Shares are issued to them.

In addition, the Notes do not confer on Holders any right

to subscribe for new securities in ANZ or to participate in

any bonus issue of securities. The rights attaching to

Ordinary Shares if Ordinary Shares are issued will be the

rights attaching to Ordinary Shares at that time. Holders

have no right to vote on or otherwise to approve any

changes to ANZ’s constitution in relation to the Ordinary

Shares that may in the future be issued to them. Therefore,

Holders will not be able to influence decisions that may

have adverse consequences for them.

6.1.25 Design and Distribution Obligations

On 5 April 2019, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Design

and Distribution Obligations and Product Intervention

Powers) Act 2019 (DDO Legislation) was enacted. The

DDO Legislation imposes additional obligations on ANZ

regarding the design and distribution of certain financial

products offered to Retail Investors (including capital

notes), and grants product intervention powers to ASIC

if it believes significant consumer detriment may occur.

The DDO Legislation is supplemented by the Corporations

Amendment (Design and Distribution Obligations)

Regulations 2019 (DDO Regulations), which were

enacted in December 2019.

The design and distribution obligations in the DDO

Legislation do not apply to secondary market trading

of ANZ Capital Notes 7.

The DDO Legislation also gives ASIC a significant,

proactive power to issue a product intervention order if it

believes that a financial product has resulted in or will, or

is likely to, result in significant detriment to Retail Investors

(the Product Intervention Power). It is uncertain

whether ASIC would perceive there to be any significant

consumer detriment in relation to ANZ Capital Notes 7

or similar securities. The DDO Legislation requires ASIC to

undertake a consultation process before it exercises the

Product Intervention Power.

The impact of these new obligations remains untested,

however there is a risk that they may adversely impact the

issue, distribution and reinvestment of financial products

in the future, including instruments like ANZ Capital Notes

7. These changes may also affect the liquidity of funding

instruments (including instruments like ANZ Capital Notes

7), if they lead to a material reduction in future issuance

volumes or secondary trading activity by investors.

6.2 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND

UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED

WITH ANZ

6.2.1 Introduction

The ANZ Group’s activities are subject to risks, including

risks arising from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,

that can adversely impact its business, operations, results of

operations, reputation, prospects, liquidity, capital resources,

financial performance and financial condition (together, the

Group’s Position). Certain risks and uncertainties that the

ANZ Group may face are summarised below.

Additional risks and uncertainties that the ANZ Group

is unaware of, or that the ANZ Group currently deems to

be immaterial, may also become important factors that

affect it. If any of the listed or unlisted risks actually occur,

the ANZ Group’s Position could be materially and

adversely affected, with the result that the trading price

of the ANZ Group’s equity or debt securities (including the

Notes) could decline, and investors could lose all or part

of their investment.

6.2.2 Risk arising from the COVID-19 pandemic

and future outbreaks of other communicable

diseases or pandemics

The outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus in

late 2019, specifically identified as SARS-CoV-2, with

the disease referred to as “COVID-19”, has resulted in

governments worldwide enacting emergency measures

to combat the spread of the virus. Governments, including

those in Australia and New Zealand, have imposed wide

ranging restrictions on, suspensions of, or advice against,

regional and international travel, events and meetings and

many other normal activities and undertaken substantial

and costly monetary and fiscal interventions designed to

stabilise sovereign nations and financial markets.

While certain restrictions have been lifted or modified,

governments may in the foreseeable future reintroduce

prior restrictions or implement and introduce further

measures to contain the spread of COVID-19. For example,

in July 2021, the Greater Sydney region of NSW was placed

into a protracted lockdown. In addition, although globally

and domestically COVID-19 vaccines are being deployed,

there are uncertainties associated with the long-term

effectiveness of such vaccines and the success of

67

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

nationwide vaccination programmes. The uncertainties
of the COVID-19 pandemic have also increased as a result

of the recent spread of new strains of the virus, such as the

‘Delta' and ‘Omicron’ variants. Further variants may develop

that require different government responses and greater

restrictions to those adopted to date. Consequently, the

duration, severity and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,

as well as the effectiveness of government and central

bank responses to the pandemic, remain subject to

significant uncertainties.

Major disruptions to community health and economic

activity continue to have wide ranging negative effects

across most business sectors in Australia, New Zealand

and globally, which in turn has impacted demand for

the ANZ Group’s products and services and resulted in

a deterioration of the quality of the ANZ Group’s credit

portfolio. Additionally, many of the ANZ Group’s borrowers

have been and continue to be negatively impacted by the

COVID-19 pandemic and the ANZ Group is exposed to an

increased risk of credit loss from borrowers, particularly in

the following sectors: transportation (including airlines

and shipping); tourism and travel (including

accommodation, food and beverage); entertainment;

education; retail; and property (particularly shopping

malls and hotels). See Notes 1 and 17 of the consolidated

financial statements for the financial year ended 30

September 2021 as set out in the ANZ Group’s 2021

Annual Report (2021 Financial Statements).

Despite initial concerns about the negative impacts

of the COVID-19 pandemic and the threat of a long-term

recession, most commercial property markets in the ANZ

Group’s core property markets have been resilient in large

part due to government stimulus, record low interest rates

and strong investor interest (debt and equity) seeking

long-term defensive assets. However, some segments of

the economy have experienced more direct and ongoing

consequences from the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g. with

respect to mobility and tourism) and in these segments

cash flows have been impaired and are more volatile,

which has impacted serviceability and asset valuations.

Furthermore, a highly competitive commercial

construction sector, coupled with COVID-19 related

supply chain disruption and labour mobility constraints

could result in a decline in profit margins, and could also,

impact contractors’ and sub-contractors’ cash flows,

working capital needs and liquidity, which may present

a completion risk to the ANZ Group’s commercial property

development financing activities.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ANZ Group

established a range of accommodations and measures,

such as loan payment deferral, designed to assist its

personal and business customers but there can be no

assurance that these accommodations and measures

will be sufficient to prevent or mitigate further hardship,

or ensure the delivery of the ANZ Group’s products and

services, and there is a risk that the Group’s Position may

be materially and adversely affected. For example, there

can be no guarantee that at the conclusion of the deferral

or suspension period, customers will be able to

recommence their loan repayment obligations, leading

to a potential increase in credit risk related losses, which

could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s

Position. See Notes 1 and 17 of the 2021 Financial

Statements. These accommodations and measures,

and any future accommodations and measures, while

supporting the ANZ Group’s customers, may in turn have

a negative impact on the Group’s Position, may negatively

impact the ANZ Group’s net interest margin, and may

result in the ANZ Group assuming a greater level of risk

than it would have under ordinary circumstances and the

Group’s Position may be materially and adversely affected

as a result.

Significant requests for assistance from retail and small

business customers have been received by the ANZ Group’s

customer service team. These requests may grow if there

are further outbreaks and the ANZ Group is continuing to

address additional resourcing and process changes to

enable it to support its customers. Whilst there have been

signs of improvement, in the longer term, asset values may

start to deteriorate if a large quantity of retail and business

customers liquidate their investments, which may also be

exacerbated by the cessation of government assistance,

either during, or immediately after, the crisis or due to a

decrease in demand for these assets. In both scenarios

loan-to-value ratios are expected to be impacted.

Substantially reduced global economic activity has

caused substantial volatility in the financial markets and

such volatility may continue and is expected to continue,

to have a significant impact on the global economy and

global markets, as well as on the economies of Australia

and New Zealand. Travel restrictions, border controls,

social distancing measures, quarantine protocols and

other containment measures have contributed, and may

continue to contribute, to restricted economic activity in

Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere around the world

and suppress demand for commodities, interrupt the

supply chain for industries, dampen consumer confidence

and suppress business earnings and growth prospects,

all of which could contribute to ongoing volatility in

global financial markets.

Many countries have, at times, experienced large

declines in gross domestic product (GDP) as they restrict

activities to manage the spread of the virus, with sharp

increases in unemployment rates. These declines in GDP

could be exacerbated by further outbreaks, such as due to

the emergence of new variants of the virus. Governments

have responded, and some continue to respond, with

fiscal stimulus packages/measures as well as traditional

and unconventional monetary easing and regulatory

forbearance that is designed to offset at least some of

the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. While such

stimulus measures do not prevent the decrease in

economic activity stemming from the widespread

movement restrictions aimed at stalling the spread of

the virus, they have contributed to economic recovery

when restrictions were eased. There may also be further

fluctuations in economic activity when economic support

policies are withdrawn.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

The Australian and New Zealand Governments and their
agencies pursued (and may continue to pursue) policies

to promote lending by financial institutions. These actions

may support providers that compete with the ANZ Group.

Given the importance of a functioning and competitive

banking sector, and the Australian and New Zealand

Governments’ ongoing desire to pursue a pro-growth

agenda in response to the economic disruption caused

by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is anticipated that over the

longer term the level of competition in the financial

services sector will remain a focus area for the Australian

and New Zealand Governments. Policy reform in this area

may result in increased competitive pressure in the ANZ

Group’s key markets which may adversely affect the

Group’s Position.

A deterioration of public finances of sovereigns in

response to the COVID-19 pandemic combined with

pre-existing sovereign risk may lead to further increased

volatility and widening credit spreads. In March 2020 there

was a substantial impact to market liquidity across most

asset classes as market volatility significantly increased.

Whilst this level of market volatility has not been repeated

since, there is still uncertainty surrounding any future

impact on financial markets. The ANZ Group’s assessment

of its valuation of assets and liabilities considers internal and

external information, which includes assessing the ongoing

impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and related responses

of governments, regulators and businesses, on the carrying

values of the ANZ Group’s assets. There is a high degree of

uncertainty associated with the duration and impact of the

COVID-19 pandemic which may affect the recoverability of

the ANZ Group’s assets in future periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also affected, and can be

expected to continue to impact, the ANZ Group’s ability

to continue its operations without interruption or delays

due to closure of and restricted access to premises,

contagion management and travel restrictions. Any

related illness or quarantine of the ANZ Group’s employees

or contractors or suspension of the ANZ Group’s business

operations at its branches, stores or offices could affect

the Group’s Position. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted

in the adoption of the virtual working environment as

‘business as usual’ and the ANZ Group has focused on

the well-being of staff given the pressures of working

from home including the risk of ongoing impacts of the

COVID-19 pandemic and potential impacts that it may

have on employee mental well-being, including the ability

to perform duties and operational activities appropriately.

Conduct risk, however, may be heightened because of

remote working through its impact on employees’

behaviour and/or the ANZ Group’s systems and processes

(or through its impact on the ANZ Group’s ability to

monitor such matters). The risk of customer harm over

the next twelve months is likely to be shaped by the

economic and social impact of the pandemic, and a

prioritised area of focus for the ANZ Group is mitigating

the risk of unfair treatment of borrowers, including those

in financial difficulties. As the economy begins to move

towards recovery and governments’ or the ANZ Group’s

COVID-19 related support measures are wound back,

individual customers still enduring hardship may suffer

detriment if the ANZ Group cannot provide tailored

support and sustainable arrangements based on

individual circumstances.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has also increased

geopolitical risk. Continuing tensions between countries,

including between Australia and China, and policy

uncertainty could result in further downturns to the

domestic and global economies, which in turn could have

a material adverse impact on the Group’s Position or its

ability to execute its strategic initiatives. See Section 6.2.3.

The ongoing ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic

remain highly uncertain and, as of the date of this

Prospectus, it is difficult to predict the further spread or

duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including whether

there will be further outbreaks and whether and to what

extent vaccines or other medical treatments will be

effective in curtailing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

All or any of the negative conditions related to the

COVID-19 pandemic described above may cause a further

reduction in demand for the ANZ Group’s products and

services and/or an increase in loan and other credit

defaults, bad debts, and impairments and/or an increase

in the cost of the ANZ Group’s operations. Should any of

these occur, the ANZ Group’s Position could be materially

adversely affected.

Actions taken by regulators in response to the COVID-19

pandemic have impacted, and may continue to impact,

the ANZ Group. As an example, in Australia, APRA revised

its guidance for ADIs on capital management (including

capital distributions) and, in New Zealand, RBNZ made the

decision to restrict the payment of dividends on ordinary

shares by New Zealand incorporated registered banks

during the period of economic uncertainty caused by

the COVID-19 pandemic.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues to

adversely affect the Group’s Position, it may also have the

effect of heightening many of the other risks described in

this Section 6.2.

6.2.3 Risk arising from change in political

and general business and economic conditions,

including disruption in regional or global

credit and capital markets

The ANZ Group’s financial performance is primarily

influenced by the political and economic conditions

and the level of business activity in the major countries

and regions in which the ANZ Group or its customers or

counterparties operate, trade or raise funding including,

without limitation, Australia, New Zealand, the Asia Pacific

region, the United Kingdom (UK), Europe and the United

States (the Relevant Jurisdictions).

69

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

The political, economic and business conditions that
prevail in the ANZ Group’s operating and trading markets

are affected by, among other things, domestic and

international economic events, developments in global

financial markets, political perspectives, opinions and

related events and natural disasters.

Global political conditions that impact the global

economy have led to, and may continue to result in

extended periods of increased political and economic

uncertainty and volatility in the global financial markets,

which could adversely affect the Group’s Position.

Relatively recent examples of events that have affected

(and may continue to affect) global political conditions

include the United Kingdom ceasing to be a member

of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic

Area on 31 January 2020 (commonly referred to as

“Brexit”), and global trade developments relating to,

among other things, the imposition or threatened

imposition of trade tariffs and levies by major countries,

including the United States, China and other countries

that are Australia’s and New Zealand’s significant trading

partners and allies.

Following the end of the Brexit transition period on

30 December 2020, aspects of the relationship between

the UK and the EU have been governed by the EU-UK

Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). The TCA came

into effect on 1 May 2021, following its provisional

application. The TCA sets out a number of preferential

arrangements in areas such as trade in goods and in

services, digital trade and intellectual property, but many

matters pertaining to the provision of financial services

remain uncertain. There are a number of remaining

uncertainties regarding, among other things, post-Brexit

protocols and arrangements among the parties involved.

Trade, and broader geopolitical, relationships between

the United States and some of its trading partners, such

as China, remain volatile. The implementation of trading

policies or divergent regulatory frameworks by Australia’s

and New Zealand’s key trading partners and allies may

adversely impact the demand for Australia’s and New

Zealand’s exports and may lead to declines in global

economic growth. In particular, China is one of Australia’s

and New Zealand’s major trading partners and a

significant driver of commodity demand and prices in

many of the markets in which the ANZ Group and its

customers operate. Any heightening of geopolitical

tensions and the occurrence of events that adversely

affect China’s economic growth and Australia’s and

New Zealand’s economic relationship with China,

including the implementation of additional tariffs and

other protectionist trade policies, could adversely affect

Australian or New Zealand economic activity, and, as

a result, could adversely affect the Group’s Position.

Instability in global political conditions, including in the

United States, has contributed to economic uncertainty

and declines in market liquidity and could increase

volatility in the global financial markets and negatively

impact consumer and business activity within the markets

in which the ANZ Group or its customers or counterparties

operate, or result in the introduction of new and/or

divergent regulatory frameworks that the ANZ Group

will be required to adhere to.

Should economic conditions in markets in which the

ANZ Group or its customers or counterparties operate

deteriorate, asset values in the housing, commercial or

rural property markets could decline, unemployment

could rise and corporate and personal incomes could

suffer. Deterioration in global markets, including equity,

property, currency and other asset markets, may impact

the ANZ Group’s customers and the security the ANZ

Group holds against loans and other credit exposures,

which may impact the ANZ Group’s ability to recover loans

and other credit exposures. Should any of these occur, the

Group's Position could be materially adversely affected.

The ANZ Group’s financial performance may also be

adversely affected if the ANZ Group is unable to adapt its

cost structures, products, pricing or activities in response

to a drop in demand or lower than expected revenues.

Similarly, higher than expected costs (including credit

and funding costs) could be incurred because of adverse

changes in the economy, general business conditions or

the operating environment in the countries or regions in

which the ANZ Group or its customers or counterparties

operate. Should any of these occur, the Group's Position

could be materially adversely affected.

Globally, inflationary pressures are currently elevated with

increased uncertainty in regards to the future impact on

monetary policies settings. Higher inflation, interest rates

and levels of uncertainty can have broad ranging impacts

on confidence, economic and market conditions.

6.2.4 Risk related to real estate markets in

Australia, New Zealand or other markets

Residential and commercial property lending, together

with real estate development and investment property

finance, constitute important businesses of the ANZ Group.

Major sub-segments within the ANZ Group's lending

portfolio include:

•residential housing loans (owner occupier and

investment); and

•commercial real estate loans (investment and

development).

Since 2009, the world’s major central banks have

embarked upon unprecedented monetary policy

stimulus. The resulting weight of funds searching for yield

continues to be a significant driver underlying property

markets in the ANZ Group’s core property jurisdictions

(Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong).

However, although values for completed tenanted

properties and residential house prices, particularly in

metropolitan east coast Australian regions rose steadily

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

70

« CONTENTS

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

until 2018, the fall in Australian house prices in 2018 was
the largest since the global financial crisis. In the latter part

of 2019 and early 2020, property prices across Australia

had started to increase, and although this trend was

disrupted by COVID-19, property prices in Australia have

risen again in the most recent fiscal year.

Similarly, in New Zealand residential property prices

have steadily increased with median prices increasing

to a record high in October 2021. In response, the

New Zealand Government has introduced a range of

initiatives aimed at limiting further price increases, such

as mandating that the RBNZ consider the impact on

housing when making monetary and financial policy

decisions; creating a NZ$3.8 billion fund to accelerate

housing supply in the short to medium term by investing

in infrastructure like roads and pipes to homes; extending

the ‘bright-line’ test (which is akin to a capital gains tax on

investment property if sold within 10 years from date of

purchase, previously 5 years); the removal of interest

deductibility from 1 October 2021 for residential property

investors who hold their investments (acquired on or

after 27 March 2021) on capital account as well as phasing

out its application on existing residential investments

(with concessions for businesses and for “new builds”);

and pledging to help Kāinga Ora (the Crown entity

responsible for housing and communities) borrow an

additional NZ$2 billion to increase land acquisitions to

boost housing supply. These measures are intended to

moderate the rate of New Zealand residential property

price increases.

Longer term, given a prolonged period of asset

price inflation and record low interest rates, the ANZ

Group’s portfolio of commercial property loans may

become more susceptible to a sudden and material

increase in interest rates, which could cause a decline in

interest coverage ratios and asset values, which could

increase refinance risk and necessitate equity

contributions towards debt reduction.

6.2.5 Risk related to acquisitions

and/or divestments

The ANZ Group regularly examines a range of corporate

opportunities, including acquisitions and divestments,

with a view to determining whether those opportunities

will enhance the ANZ Group’s strategic position and

financial performance.

Integration (or separation) of an acquired (or divested)

business can be complex and costly, sometimes including

combining (or separating) relevant accounting and data

processing systems, and management controls, as well

as managing relevant relationships with employees,

customers, regulators, counterparties, suppliers and

other business partners.

Integration (or separation) efforts could create

inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and

policies, as well as diverting management attention and

resources. There is also the risk of counterparties making

claims in respect of completed or uncompleted

transactions against the ANZ Group that could adversely

affect the Group’s Position. There can also be no assurance

that any acquisition (or divestment) would have the

anticipated positive results around cost or cost savings,

time to integrate and overall performance. All or any of

these factors could adversely affect the ANZ Group’s ability

to conduct its business successfully and impact the ANZ

Group’s operations or results. Additionally, there can be no

assurance that employees, customers, counterparties,

suppliers and other business partners of newly acquired

(or retained) businesses will remain post-acquisition (or

post-divestment). Further, there is a risk that completion of

an agreed transaction may not occur whether in the form

originally agreed between the parties or at all, including

due to failure of the counterparty to satisfy its completion

conditions or because other completion conditions such

as obtaining relevant regulatory or other approvals are

not satisfied. Should any of these integration or separation

risks occur, this could adversely affect the Group’s Position.

Transactions that the ANZ Group has previously

announced but not yet completed include a proposed

merchant acquiring joint venture arrangement with

Worldline, a European payment systems provider.

Completion of this transaction, which remains subject

to satisfaction of one or more conditions, is expected

to occur during the first half of calendar year 2022.

6.2.6 Risk that the ANZ Group is exposed

to credit loss

As a financial institution, the ANZ Group is exposed to

the risks associated with extending credit to other parties,

including incurring credit-related losses that can occur

as a result of a counterparty being unable or unwilling to

honour its contractual obligations. Credit losses can and

have resulted in financial services organisations realising

significant losses and in some cases failing altogether.

Whilst the risk of credit-related losses has increased as a

result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the risk

of credit-related losses may further increase as a result of a

number of factors, including deterioration in the financial

condition of the economies in which the ANZ Group or

its customers or counterparties operate, a sustained high

level of unemployment in the markets in which the ANZ

Group or its customers or counterparties operate, a

deterioration of the financial condition of the ANZ Group’s

customers or counterparties, a reduction in the value of

assets the ANZ Group holds as collateral, and a reduction

in the market value of the counterparty instruments and

obligations it holds.

71

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

Less favourable business or economic conditions,
whether generally or in a specific industry sector or

geographic region, as well as the occurrence of events

such as natural disasters or pandemics, could cause

customers or counterparties to fail to meet their

obligations in accordance with agreed terms.

Some of the ANZ Group’s customers and counterparties

in or with exposures to the below mentioned sectors are

increasingly vulnerable:

•industries impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic

particularly those referred to in Section 6.2.2;

•industries exposed to the unwinding of government

stimulus packages and/or timing of the opening of

borders (both domestic and international) as well as

industries reliant on consumer discretionary spending;

•the commercial property sector (including construction

and contractors) which is exposed to a decline in

investor demand for large scale inner city apartment

buildings and a material decline in net migration.

In some markets, commercial contractors and sub-

contractors may face cash flow/liquidity issues over the

next 12 to 24 months as current projects run off and

their forward books are diminished. The residential

development sector is experiencing supply chain issues,

increased costs and labour mobility issues. Earnings for

hotel accommodation and certain retail sectors are still

being impacted by reduced mobility and the extent of

longer-term implications for some offices remains

uncertain due to the shift to remote working

arrangements;

•industries at risk of sanctions, geopolitical tensions

or trade disputes (e.g. technology, agriculture and

communications) and/or declining global growth

and disruption to global supply chains;

•customers and industries exposed to disruption from

physical climate risk (e.g. bushfires, floods, storms and

drought), and transition risk (e.g. industry exposed to

carbon reduction requirements and resulting changes

in demand for goods and services or liquidity); and

•industries exposed to the volatility of the United States

Dollar as well as the Australian Dollar and New Zealand

Dollar.

The ANZ Group is also subject to the risk that its rights

against third parties may not be enforceable in certain

circumstances, which may result in credit losses. Should

material credit losses occur to the ANZ Group’s credit

exposures, this may adversely affect the Group’s Position.

Credit risk may also arise from certain derivative, clearing

and settlement contracts that the ANZ Group enters into,

and from the ANZ Group’s dealings with, and holdings of,

debt securities issued by other banks, financial institutions,

companies, governments and government bodies where

the financial conditions of such entities are affected by

economic conditions in global financial markets.

In addition, in assessing whether to extend credit

or enter into other transactions with customers and/or

counterparties, the ANZ Group relies on information

provided by or on behalf of customers and/or

counterparties, including financial statements and other

financial information. The ANZ Group may also rely on

representations of customers and independent consultants

as to the accuracy and completeness of that information.

The ANZ Group’s financial performance could be negatively

impacted to the extent that it relies on information that

is incomplete, inaccurate or materially misleading.

The ANZ Group holds provisions for credit impairment

that are determined based on current information and

subjective and complex judgements of the impairment

within the ANZ Group’s lending portfolio. If the

information upon which the assessment is made proves

to be inaccurate or if the ANZ Group fails to analyse the

information correctly, the provisions made for credit

impairment may be insufficient, which may adversely

affect the ANZ Group’s Position.

6.2.7 Risk arising from regulatory changes

or a failure to comply with laws, regulations

or policies

The ANZ Group’s businesses and operations are highly

regulated. The pace of regulatory change has accelerated

in recent years. The ANZ Group is subject to a substantial

and increasing number of laws, regulations and policies,

including industry self-regulation, in the Relevant

Jurisdictions in which it carries on business or obtains

funding and is supervised by a number of different

authorities in each of these jurisdictions. The volume of

changes, and resources allocated to the regulation and

supervision of financial services groups, such as the

ANZ Group, and the enforcement of laws against them,

including through litigation, has increased substantially in

recent years, including in response to community concern

regarding the conduct of financial services groups in

Australia and New Zealand. As a result, the regulation and

supervision of, and enforcement against, financial services

groups, including the ANZ Group has become increasingly

extensive, complex and costly across the Relevant

Jurisdictions. Such regulation, supervision and

enforcement continue to evolve.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue

to have, an impact on the regulation and supervision of,

and enforcement against, financial services groups such as

the ANZ Group. Any future ramifications of the COVID-19

pandemic remain uncertain and, as of the date of this

Prospectus, difficult to predict. There have been delays

and deferrals to the implementation of regulatory reforms

in Australia and New Zealand and a re-ranking of priorities,

including enforcement priorities.

Such delays and deferrals could impact the ANZ Group’s

ability to manage regulatory change and increase the risk

of the ANZ Group not complying with new regulations

when they come into effect.

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic also has the potential
to complicate the ANZ Group’s dealings with its regulators

in a number of ways. In particular, disruptions to the ANZ

Group’s business, operations, third party contractors and

suppliers resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may

increase the risk that the ANZ Group will not be able to

satisfy its regulatory obligations or processes and/or

address outstanding issues, potentially increasing the

prospect of a regulator taking adverse action against the

ANZ Group. Although there is continuing engagement

with regulators with respect to banking industry wide

loan repayment deferrals and assistance to customers

to get back to making their repayments, the ANZ Group

remains susceptible to regulatory action where it fails

to satisfy its regulatory obligations.

6.2.8 Risk arising from litigation and

contingent liabilities

From time to time, the ANZ Group may be subject to

material litigation, regulatory actions, legal or arbitration

proceedings and other contingent liabilities that may

adversely affect the ANZ Group’s Position.

The ANZ Group had contingent liabilities as at

30 September 2021 in respect of the matters outlined

in Note 33 of the 2021 Financial Statements.

Note 33 includes, among other things, descriptions of:

•regulatory and customer exposures;

•benchmark/rate actions;

• capital raising actions;

•consumer credit insurance litigation;

•Esanda dealer car loan litigation;

•OnePath superannuation litigation;

•New Zealand loan information litigation;

•the Royal Commission;

•security recovery actions; and

•warranties and indemnities.

In recent years there has been an increase in the number

of matters on which the ANZ Group engages with its

regulators. There have also been significant increases

in the nature and scale of regulatory investigations,

surveillance and reviews, civil and criminal enforcement

actions (whether by court action or otherwise), formal and

informal inquiries, regulatory supervisory activities and the

quantum of fines issued by regulators, particularly against

financial institutions both in Australia and globally. The

ANZ Group has received various notices and requests for

information from its regulators as part of both industry-

wide and ANZ Group-specific reviews and has also made

disclosures to its regulators at its own instigation. The

nature of these interactions can be wide ranging and,

for example, include or have included a range of matters

including responsible lending practices, regulated lending

requirements, product suitability and distribution, interest

and fees and the entitlement to charge them, customer

remediation, wealth advice, insurance distribution, pricing,

competition, conduct in financial markets and financial

transactions, capital market transactions, anti-money

laundering and counter-terrorism financing obligations,

reporting and disclosure obligations and product

disclosure documentation. There may be exposures

to customers which are additional to any regulatory

exposures. These could include class actions, individual

claims or customer remediation or compensation

activities. The outcomes and total costs associated with

such reviews and possible exposures remain uncertain.

There is a risk that contingent liabilities may be larger than

anticipated or that additional litigation, regulatory actions,

legal or arbitration proceedings or other contingent

liabilities may arise.

6.2.9 Risk relating to operational risk events

Operational risk is the risk of loss and/or non-compliance

with laws resulting from inadequate or failed internal

processes, people and systems or from external events.

This definition includes legal risk, cyber risk, conduct and

culture risk, and the risk of reputational loss or damage

arising from inadequate or failed internal processes,

people, and/or systems, but excludes strategic risk.

Operational risk categories include but are not limited to:

•internal fraud (for example, involving employees

or contractors);

•external fraud (for example, fraudulent loan

applications or ATM skimming);

•employment practices, loss of key staff, inadequate

workplace safety and failure to effectively implement

employment policies;

•impacts on clients, products and business practices

(for example, misuse of customer data or anti-

competitive behaviour);

•business disruption (including systems failures);

•reputational risk;

•cyber risk;

•conduct and culture risks;

•damage to physical assets;

•execution, delivery and process management

(for example, processing errors or data management

failures); and

•financial crime.

Loss from operational risk events may adversely affect

the Group’s Position. Such losses can include fines,

penalties, loss or theft of funds or assets, legal costs,

customer compensation, loss of shareholder value,

reputation loss, loss of life or injury to people, and loss

of property and/or information.

Pursuant to APRA requirements, the ANZ Group must

also maintain “operational risk capital” reserves in the

event future operational events occur.

73

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

COVID-19 related challenges have resulted in a number
of changes to how the ANZ Group undertakes its operations

including adapting to remote working arrangements.

The ANZ Group always follows the direction of the relevant

government authority regarding permitted places of work.

Depending on the environment, this might mean all staff

work remotely, or staff are permitted to work from the office

under defined workplace occupancy restrictions. Although

technology has been successfully deployed to ensure

remote working capabilities are available to the relevant

staff, greater reliance on digital channels creates heightened

risks associated with cyber-attacks and the impact those

attacks might have on the ANZ Group’s systems and service

availability, which could affect the ANZ Group’s technology

assets as well as third party technology suppliers and critical

services on which the ANZ Group relies, such as

telecommunications operators.

All or any of the impacts described above may cause

a reduction in productivity or delays in completing

important activities or increased regulatory scrutiny,

which could subsequently result in customer remediation

activities, or fines, all of which may adversely affect the

Group’s Position.

6.2.10 Risk relating to the inability to attract,

develop, motivate and retain the ANZ Group’s

people to meet current and future business needs

Key executives, employees and directors play an integral

role in the operation of the ANZ Group's business and its

pursuit of its strategic objectives. The unexpected departure

of an individual in a key role, or the ANZ Group's failure to

recruit and retain an appropriately skilled and qualified

person into these roles, could have an adverse effect on the

Group’s Position. These risks may be further exacerbated by

the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including

on employee well-being, social and employment choices.

6.2.11 Risk associated with information

security including cyber-attacks

The primary focus of information security is to protect

information and technology systems from disruptions

to confidentiality, integrity or availability. As a bank, the

ANZ Group handles a considerable amount of personal

and confidential information about its customers and its

own internal operations, from the multiple geographies

in which the ANZ Group operates. This information is

processed and stored on both internal and third party

hosted environments. Any failure of security controls

operated by the ANZ Group or its third parties could

adversely affect the ANZ Group’s business.

The risks to systems and information are inherently

higher in certain countries where, for example, political

threats or targeted cyber-attacks by terrorist or criminal

organisations are greater.

The ANZ Group is conscious that cyber threats, such as

advanced persistent threats, distributed denial of service,

malware and ransomware, are continuously evolving,

becoming more sophisticated and increasing in volume.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of staff

working offsite for an extended period, which may increase

information security risks to the ANZ Group. Cyber criminals

may attempt to take advantage through pursuing exploits

in end point security, spreading malware, and increasing

phishing attempts.

Additionally, failures in the ANZ Group’s cybersecurity policies,

procedures or controls, could result in loss of data or other

sensitive information (including as a result of an outage) and

may cause associated reputational damage. Any of these

events could result in significant financial losses (including

costs relating to notification of, or compensation for

customers), regulatory investigations or sanctions or may

affect the ANZ Group’s ability to retain and attract customers,

and thus may adversely affect the Group’s Position.

6.2.12 Risk arising from impact of future climate

events, geological events, plant, animal and

human diseases and other extrinsic events

The ANZ Group and its customers are exposed to climate-

related events. These events include severe storms, drought,

fires, cyclones, hurricanes, floods and rising sea levels. The

ANZ Group and its customers may also be exposed to other

events such as geological events (including volcanic seismic

activity or tsunamis), plant, animal and human diseases or

a pandemic such as COVID-19, which is causing significant

impacts on the ANZ Group’s operations and its customers.

Parts of Australia are prone to, and have recently experienced,

extreme climate events such as severe drought conditions,

bushfires in 2019 and 2020, and severe flooding in 2021.

The impact of these events can be widespread, extending

beyond primary producers to customers of the ANZ Group

who are suppliers to the agricultural sector, and to those

who reside in, and operate businesses within, impacted

communities. The impact of these losses on the ANZ Group

may be exacerbated by a decline in the value and liquidity

of assets held as collateral, which may impact the ANZ

Group’s ability to recover its funds when loans default.

Depending on their frequency and severity, these

extrinsic events may continue to interrupt or restrict the

provision of some local services such as the ANZ Group

branch or business centres or ANZ Group services, and may

also adversely affect the ANZ Group’s financial condition or

collateral position in relation to credit facilities extended to

customers, which in turn may adversely affect the

Group’s Position.

New regulations or guidance relating to climate change,

as well as the perspectives of shareholders, employees and

other stakeholders regarding climate change, may affect

whether and on what terms and conditions the ANZ Group

engages in certain activities or offer certain products.

7.1 SUMMARY OF AUSTRALIAN TAX
CONSEQUENCES FOR HOLDERS

7.1.1 Introduction

The following is a summary of the Australian tax

consequences for certain Resident Holders and Non

Resident Holders who subscribe for Notes under the

Offer and hold them on capital account for tax purposes.

This summary is not exhaustive and the actual tax

consequences of your investment may differ depending

on your particular circumstances. You should seek your

own professional tax advice regarding the consequences

of acquiring, holding or disposing of Notes in your

particular circumstances.

In particular, this summary does not consider the

consequences for Holders who:

•acquire Notes otherwise than under the Offer;

•hold Notes in their business of securities trading,

dealing in securities or otherwise hold their Notes

on revenue account or as trading stock;

•are subject to the “taxation of financial arrangements”

provisions in Division 230 of the Tax Act in relation to

their Notes;

•in relation to a Resident Holder, hold their Notes

through a permanent establishment outside of

Australia; or

• in relation to a Non Resident Holder, hold their Notes

through a permanent establishment in Australia.

This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be

construed as being, investment, legal or tax advice to

any particular Holder.

This summary is based on Australian tax laws and

regulations, interpretations of such laws and regulations,

and administrative practice as at the date of this

Prospectus.

7.1.2 Class ruling sought on the Notes

ANZ has applied to the ATO for a public class ruling

confirming certain Australian tax consequences for

Resident Holders. The class ruling will not become

operative until it is published in the Government Gazette.

When issued, copies of the class ruling will be available

from the ATO’s website (ato.gov.au) and ANZ’s website

(anz.com).

It is expected that, when issued, the class ruling will:

•only be binding on the Commissioner of Taxation if the

Offer is carried out in the specific manner described in

the class ruling;

•only apply to Resident Holders that are within the

class of entities specified in the class ruling, which is

expected to be Resident Holders who acquire their

Notes through the Offer and hold them on capital

account for tax purposes. Therefore, the class ruling will

not apply to Resident Holders who hold their Notes as

trading stock or on revenue account or who are subject

to the "taxation of financial arrangements" provisions

in Division 230 of the Tax Act in relation to their Notes

(which will generally not apply to the “financial

arrangements” of individuals unless an election

has been made for those rules to apply);

•only rule on tax laws applicable as at the date the

class ruling is issued; and

•not consider the tax consequences of a Conversion

of Notes on a Trigger Event occurring.

7.1.3 Distributions on Notes

The Notes should be classified as non-share equity

interests for Australian income tax purposes.

(a) Resident Holders

Distributions should be treated as non-share dividends

that are frankable.

Resident Holders should be required to include the

amounts of any Distributions in their assessable income.

Generally, provided that a Resident Holder is a “qualified

person” and the ATO does not seek to apply any anti-

avoidance rules to effectively deny the benefit of franking

credits to the Resident Holder, the Resident Holder:

• should include the amount of the Distribution as well as

an amount equal to the franking credits attached to the

Distribution in their assessable income in the income

year in which they received the Distribution; and

•should qualify for a tax offset equal to the franking

credits attached to the Distribution.

Where Resident Holders who are individuals or complying

superannuation entities are entitled to tax offsets, those

offsets should either be applied against their income tax

liability for the relevant income year, or give rise to tax

refunds to the extent that the tax offsets exceed the tax

that is otherwise payable by the Resident Holders. Resident

Holders that are companies are not entitled to refunds of

excess tax offsets, but should be entitled to a credit in their

franking account, subject to the qualifications mentioned

above and discussed further below.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

76

« CONTENTS

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 7

A Resident Holder should be a “qualified person” if the
“holding period rule” and the “related payments rule” are

satisfied. Generally:

•to satisfy the “holding period rule”, a Holder must have

held their Notes “at risk” for a continuous period of at

least 90 days (excluding the days of acquisition and

disposal) within a period beginning on the day after

the day on which they are acquired and ending on the

90th day after they become ex-distribution. To be held

“at risk”, a Holder must retain 30% or more of the risks

and benefits associated with holding their Notes.

Where a Holder undertakes risk management strategies

in relation to their Notes (e.g. by the use of limited

recourse loans, options or other derivatives), the

Holder’s ability to satisfy the “at risk” requirement

of the “holding period rule” may be affected; and

•under the “related payments rule”, if a Holder (or an

associate) is obliged to make a “related payment”

(essentially a payment passing on the benefit of the

Distribution) in respect of a Distribution, the Holder

must hold the Notes “at risk” for at least 90 days

(excluding the days of acquisition and disposal)

within each period beginning 90 days before, and

ending 90 days after, they become ex-distribution.

A Resident Holder who is an individual is automatically

treated as a “qualified person” for these purposes if the

total amount of the tax offsets in respect of all franked

amounts to which the Resident Holder is entitled in an

income year does not exceed $5,000. This is referred to

as the “small shareholder rule”. However, a Resident Holder

will not be a “qualified person” under the small shareholder

rule if “related payments” have been made, or will be

made, in respect of such amounts.

There are anti-avoidance rules which can deny the benefit

of franking credits to Resident Holders in certain situations,

the most significant of which is in section 177EA of the Tax

Act. It is anticipated that the Commissioner of Taxation will

not apply any of these anti-avoidance rules to deny the

benefit of franking credits to Resident Holders in relation

to Distributions payable on the Notes.

(b) Non Resident Holders

Distributions should not be subject to Australian non-

resident dividend withholding tax to the extent the

Distributions are fully franked.

To the extent an unfranked or partially franked

Distribution is paid to Non Resident Holders, withholding

tax will generally be payable on the unfranked portion.

The rate of withholding tax is generally 30%. However,

Non Resident Holders may be entitled to a reduction in

the rate of withholding tax if they are resident in a country

which has a double taxation agreement with Australia.

7.1.4 Disposal of Notes

(a) Disposal other than through Conversion

(1) Resident Holders

The Commissioner of Taxation’s view is expected to

be that the Notes are not “traditional securities” for the

purposes of the Tax Act. On that basis, any gain or loss

for a Resident Holder on disposal of Notes should be

taxed under the CGT provisions. Holders should refer

to the class ruling on this point.

A disposal of Notes on-market, or through a

Redemption or Resale, will be a CGT event.

Resident Holders may make a capital gain or capital

loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds from

the disposal are more than the cost base for their

Notes, or whether the capital proceeds are less than

the reduced cost base for their Notes, respectively.

Capital losses can generally only be offset against

capital gains, but can be carried forward for use in a

later year. Holders should seek their own tax advice

in relation to whether any such capital loss may be

applied to offset capital gains in their particular

circumstances.

The capital proceeds from a Redemption will be

equal to the Face Value of a Note, unless the market

value of the Note (determined as if its Redemption

had not occurred or been proposed) is greater or less

than the Face Value. In that case, the greater or lesser

market value amount will be deemed to be the capital

proceeds, instead of the Face Value actually received.

Based on recently published guidance from the ATO,

where all of the Notes are Redeemed on an Optional

Exchange Date, the ATO should accept that the

market value of each Note (and therefore the

Redemption capital proceeds) is equal to the Face

Value of the Note. The Redemption proceeds should

not be treated as a dividend on the basis that they will

be debited against an amount standing to the credit

of ANZ’s non-share capital account.

The capital proceeds from a Resale of a Note to a

Purchaser will be equal to the Face Value of the Note,

assuming that the Resident Holder is dealing at arm’s

length with the Purchaser.

The capital proceeds from an on-market disposal

of a Note will be the sale price of the Note.

A Resident Holder’s CGT cost base (or reduced cost

base) for each Note they acquire should include the

$100 issue price of the Note and should also include

certain non-deductible incidental costs (e.g. brokerage

or advisory fees) associated with acquiring and/or

disposing of the Note.

77

Taxation SummaryHow to ApplyAbout ANZAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

For CGT purposes, each Note should be taken to
have been acquired by a Resident Holder on the

date that the Notes are allotted and issued to that

Resident Holder.

If Notes have been owned for at least 12 months prior

to the disposal (excluding the days of acquisition and

disposal), a Resident Holder (other than a company)

may be entitled to receive CGT discount treatment in

respect of any gain arising on disposal of Notes, such

that a percentage of the gain is not included in

assessable income. The discount percentage is applied

to the amount of the capital gain after offsetting any

current year or carried forward capital losses. The

discount percentages are 50%, 50% and 331/3% for

Resident Holders who are individuals, trusts and

complying superannuation entities respectively.

Resident Holders who dispose of their Notes within

12 months of acquiring them, or who dispose of Notes

under an agreement entered into within 12 months

of acquiring them, will not receive CGT discount

treatment. Companies are generally not entitled to

obtain CGT discount treatment.

The Government has announced that “managed

investment trusts” (MITs) and “attribution managed

investment trusts” (AMITs) will not be entitled to

the CGT discount at the trust level. This change was

previously scheduled to apply from 1 July 2020, but

has now been delayed and will instead apply for

income years commencing on or after the date that

is three months from the date of Royal Assent of the

enabling legislation. While it is not certain when this

change will come into effect, the Government has

indicated that it is committed to legislating this

measure. Once this change comes into effect, MITs

and AMITs that derive capital gains will continue to be

able to distribute those amounts as capital gains that

may be subject to the CGT discount in the hands of

those beneficiaries who are entitled to the CGT

discount. Investors should monitor any potential

changes on an ongoing basis.

(2) Non Resident Holders

As the Commissioner’s view is expected to be that

the Notes are not “traditional securities”, Non Resident

Holders should generally not be taxable on any gain

realised on disposal of their Notes, as the Notes should

generally not be “taxable Australian property” for the

purposes of the CGT provisions.

(b) Disposal through Conversion

Under specific provisions of the Tax Act, any capital gain

or capital loss that would arise on Conversion should be

disregarded. The consequence of this is that the capital

gain or capital loss is effectively deferred, with a Holder’s

cost base in the Ordinary Shares acquired on Conversion

reflecting the Holder’s cost base in their Notes. This

outcome applies both to Resident Holders and Non

Resident Holders.

For CGT purposes, the Ordinary Shares acquired

on Conversion will be taken to have been acquired on

the date of Conversion, including for the purposes of

calculating the 12 month ownership period required for

the CGT discount concession (see Section 7.1.4(a) above).

7.1.5 Provision of TFN and/or ABN

ANZ is required to deduct withholding tax from the

unfranked part (if any) of Distributions in respect of the

Notes, at the highest marginal tax rate plus the Medicare

levy (currently being 47%), unless a TFN or an ABN has

been quoted by a Holder, or a relevant exemption applies

(and has been notified to ANZ).

7.1.6 GST

Holders should not be liable for GST in respect of the

acquisition, sale, Conversion, Redemption or Resale of

Notes, other than in respect of brokerage or similar fees.

7.1.7 Stamp duty

Holders should not be liable for stamp duty on the issue,

sale, Conversion, Redemption or Resale of Notes.

7. 2 SUMMARY OF CERTAIN
AUSTRALIAN TAX CONSEQUENCES

FOR CN2 HOLDERS

We have set out below some high-level comments in

respect of certain Australian tax resident CN2 holders

regarding the redemption of the CN2 and the

Reinvestment Offer, where those holders are subject to

Class Ruling CR 2014/22 (which sets out certain Australian

tax consequences for certain Australian tax residents who

invested in CN2 in the initial offering) and hold their CN2

on capital account.

This summary is not exhaustive, the actual tax

consequences may differ depending on your

particular circumstances, and you should seek your

own professional tax advice. In particular, this summary

does not consider the consequences for CN2 Holders who:

•acquired their CN2 otherwise than under the

initial offering;

•hold their CN2 in their business of securities trading,

dealing in securities or otherwise hold their CN2 on

revenue account or as trading stock;

•are not Australian residents for tax purposes;

•are Australian tax residents but acquired and/or hold

their CN2 through a permanent establishment outside

of Australia; or

•are or will be subject to the “taxation of financial

arrangements” provisions in Division 230 of the Tax Act

in relation to their holding of CN2 or the Notes that they

will acquire under the Reinvestment Offer.

7.2.1 Final CN2 Distribution

Holders of CN2, including Eligible CN2 Holders who

participate in the Reinvestment Offer, will receive the

Final CN2 Distribution that is expected to be paid on

24 March 2022, subject to the payment conditions in

the CN2 terms and ANZ's absolute discretion.

The tax treatment of the Final CN2 Distribution should be

the same as the treatment of other distributions received

on the CN2, as outlined in Class Ruling CR 2014/22. On

this basis, provided that a CN2 holder is a “qualified person”

(see the general comments in Section 7.1.3 and Class

Ruling CR 2014/22), a CN2 holder should generally include

the amount of the Final CN2 Distribution as well as an

amount equal to any franking credits attached to the

Final CN2 Distribution in their assessable income and

should qualify for a tax offset equal to the franking credits.

7.2.2 Redemption of CN2

A CGT event will occur for CN2 holders upon redemption

of the CN2. This will apply to all CN2 holders (i.e. both

Eligible CN2 Holders who participate in the Reinvestment

Offer and CN2 holders that do not participate in the

Reinvestment Offer).

CN2 holders may make a capital gain or capital loss on

the redemption of their CN2, depending on whether the

capital proceeds from the disposal are more than the CGT

cost base for their CN2, or whether the capital proceeds

are less than the reduced cost base for their CN2,

respectively. Capital losses can generally only be offset

against capital gains, but can be carried forward for use

in a later year.

Based on recently published guidance from the ATO,

the ATO should accept that the market value of each

CN2 (and therefore the redemption capital proceeds) is

equal to the $100 face value of the CN2. The redemption

proceeds should not be treated as a dividend on the basis

that they will be debited against an amount standing to

the credit of ANZ’s non-share capital account.

A CN2 holder’s CGT cost base (or reduced cost base)

for each CN2 should include the amount they paid to

acquire the CN2 and may also include certain other

non-deductible incidental costs (e.g. brokerage or

advisory fees) associated with acquiring and/or disposing

of the CN2. If the CN2 have been owned for at least

12 months prior to the redemption (excluding the days

of acquisition and disposal), a CN2 holder (other than a

company) may be entitled to receive CGT discount

treatment in respect of any gain arising on redemption

of CN2, such that a percentage of the gain is not included

in assessable income. The discount percentage is applied

to the amount of the capital gain after offsetting any

current year or carried forward capital losses. The discount

percentages are 50%, 50% and 331/3% for CN2 holders who

are individuals, trusts and complying superannuation

entities respectively.

Companies are generally not entitled to obtain CGT

discount treatment. We also refer to the proposed

changes to the CGT discount rules for MITs and AMITs

discussed in Section 7.1.4(a) above.

7.2.3 Cost base of Notes acquired under

the Reinvestment Offer

The amount of the redemption price for CN2 that is

applied in subscribing for Notes under the Reinvestment

Offer should be included in a Holder’s cost base (and

reduced cost base) for the purposes of determining any

future capital gain or capital loss on the disposal of Notes

on-market, or through a Conversion, Redemption or

Resale (see Section 7.1.4 above).

Distribution Rate = (BBSW Rate + Margin) × (1 - Tax Rate)

where:

BBSW Rate means:

effect of increasing the rate of Distributions contrary

to applicable prudential standards.

For the purposes of the foregoing:

(c) BBSW Rate means, for a Distribution Period:

(i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum)

designated “BBSW” in respect of prime bank

eligible securities having a tenor of 3 months

which rate ASX (or its successor as administrator of

that rate) publishes through information vendors

at approximately 10:30am (Sydney time) (or such

other time at which such rate is accustomed to

be so published) on the Determination Date; or

(ii) if ANZ determines that such rate (expressed

as a percentage per annum) as is described in

paragraph (i) above:

(A) is not published by midday (or such other

time that ANZ considers appropriate on

that day); or

market as a reference rate appropriate to floating

rate debt securities of a tenor and interest period

appropriate to floating rate debt securities of

a tenor and interest period most comparable

to that of Notes; or

appropriate having regard to available

comparable indices.

Margin (expressed as a percentage per annum) means

the margin determined under the Bookbuild;

the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

3.2 Franking adjustments

of the Tax Act (or any provisions that revise or replace that

Part), the Distribution will be calculated according to the

following formula:

to pay the unpaid amount of the Distribution and

Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of

Business Day, then the Distribution Payment Date will

be the next day which is a Business Day.

3.6 Record Dates

A Distribution is only payable on a Distribution Payment

Date to those persons registered as Holders on the Record

Date for that Distribution.

3.7 Restrictions in the case of non-payment

If for any reason a Distribution has not been paid in

full on a Distribution Payment Date (the Relevant

Distribution Payment Date), ANZ must not, without

approval of a Special Resolution, until and including the

next Distribution Payment Date:

(a) resolve to pay or pay any Ordinary Share Dividend; or

(b) undertake any Buy-Back or Capital Reduction,

unless the Distribution is paid in full within 3 Business

Days of the Relevant Distribution Payment Date.

3.8 Exclusions from restrictions in case

of non-payment

The restrictions in clause 3.7 do not apply:

(a) to a Buy-Back or Capital Reduction in connection with

any employment contract, employee share scheme,

benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for

the benefit of any one or more employees, officers,

directors or consultants of ANZ or any Controlled

Entity; or

(b) to the extent that at the time a Distribution has not

been paid on the relevant Distribution Payment Date,

ANZ is legally obliged to pay on or after that date an

Ordinary Share Dividend or complete on or after that

date a Buy-Back or Capital Reduction.

Nothing in these Note Terms prohibits ANZ or a Controlled

Entity from purchasing ANZ Shares (or an interest therein)

in connection with transactions for the account of

customers of ANZ or customers of entities that ANZ

Controls or, with the prior written approval of APRA, in

connection with the distribution or trading of ANZ Shares

in the ordinary course of business. This includes (for the

avoidance of doubt and without affecting the foregoing)

any acquisition resulting from:

(a) taking security over ANZ Shares in the ordinary

course of business; and

(b) acting as trustee for another person where neither

ANZ nor any entity it Controls has a beneficial interest

in the trust (other than a beneficial interest that arises

from a security given for the purposes of a transaction

entered into in the ordinary course of business).

4 MANDATORY CONVERSION

4.1 Mandatory Conversion

Subject to the occurrence of a Trigger Event, on the

Mandatory Conversion Date ANZ must Convert all (but

not some) Notes on issue at that date into Ordinary Shares

in accordance with clause 6 and this clause 4.

4.2 Mandatory Conversion Date

The Mandatory Conversion Date will be the earlier of:

(a) 20 September 2031 (the Scheduled Mandatory

Conversion Date); and

(b) the first Distribution Payment Date after the

Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date (a

Subsequent Mandatory Conversion Date),

(each a Relevant Date) on which the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions are satisfied.

4.3 Mandatory Conversion Conditions

The Mandatory Conversion Conditions for each

Relevant Date are:

(a) the VWAP on the 25th Business Day immediately

preceding (but not including) the Relevant Date (the

First Test Date, provided that if no trading in Ordinary

Shares took place on that date, the First Test Date is

immediately preceding (but not including) the

Relevant Date on which trading in Ordinary Shares

took place) is greater than 56.00% of the Issue Date

VWAP (the First Mandatory Conversion Condition);

(b) the VWAP during the period of 20 Business Days

on which trading in Ordinary Shares took place

immediately preceding (but not including) the

Relevant Date (the Second Test Period) is greater

than 50.51% of the Issue Date VWAP (the Second

Mandatory Conversion Condition); and

(c) no Delisting Event applies in respect of the Relevant

Date (the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition

and, together with the First Mandatory Conversion

AppendixHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationInvestment Risks

4.4 Non-Conversion Notices
If:

(a) the First Mandatory Conversion Condition is not

satisfied in relation to a Relevant Date, ANZ will notify

Holders between the 25th and the 21st Business Day

before the Relevant Date; or

(b) the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the

Third Mandatory Conversion Condition is not satisfied

in relation to a Relevant Date, ANZ will notify Holders

on or as soon as practicable after the Relevant Date,

in either case that Mandatory Conversion will not (or, as

the case may be, did not) occur on the Relevant Date (a

Non-Conversion Notice).

4.5 Common Equity Capital Trigger Event

A Common Equity Capital Trigger Event means ANZ

determines, or APRA has notified ANZ in writing that it

believes, that a Common Equity Capital Ratio is equal to

or less than 5.125%. ANZ must immediately notify APRA in

writing if it makes a determination under this clause 4.5.

4.6 Non-Viability Trigger Event

A Non-Viability Trigger Event means the earlier of:

(a) the issuance of a notice in writing by APRA to ANZ

that conversion or write off of Relevant Securities is

necessary because, without it, APRA considers that

ANZ would become non-viable; or

(b) a determination by APRA, notified to ANZ in writing,

that without a public sector injection of capital, or

equivalent support, ANZ would become non-viable.

4.7 Trigger Event Conversion Date

A Trigger Event Conversion Date means:

(a) in the case of a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event,

the date on which the determination or notification is

made under clause 4.5; and

(b) in the case of a Non-Viability Trigger Event, the date on

which APRA notifies ANZ of such Non-Viability Trigger

Event as contemplated in clause 4.6.

4.8 Conversion on Trigger Event

Conversion Date

If a Trigger Event occurs:

(a) on the Trigger Event Conversion Date, subject only to

clause 4.9(c), so many of the Notes will immediately

Convert as is:

(i) in the case of a Common Equity Capital Trigger

Event, sufficient (as determined by ANZ in

accordance with paragraph (b) below) to increase

the relevant Common Equity Capital Ratio to a

percentage above 5.125% determined by ANZ

in consultation with APRA; or

(ii) in the case of a Non-Viability Trigger Event,

required by APRA’s notice under clause 4.6 and,

where such notice does not require all Relevant

Securities to be converted into Ordinary Shares

or written off, sufficient (determined by ANZ in

accordance with paragraph (b) below) to satisfy

APRA that ANZ is viable without further

conversion or write off.

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event under clause 4.6(b) occurs,

all the Notes are required to be Converted:

(b) in determining the number of Notes which must be

Converted in accordance with this clause, ANZ will:

(i) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write off

Relevant Securities whose terms require or permit

them to be converted into Ordinary Shares or

written off either before Conversion of Notes

or in full; and

(ii) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares

or write off of those Relevant Securities is not

sufficient to satisfy the requirements of clause

4.8(a)(i) or 4.8(a)(ii) (as applicable), subject to

clause 4.8(e)(iv):

(A) ANZ will endeavour to Convert Notes and

convert into Ordinary Shares or write off

other Relevant Securities on an approximately

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

in the opinion of ANZ, fair and reasonable

(subject to such adjustment as ANZ 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 any Notes or other Relevant

Securities remaining on issue); and

(B) where the currency of the principal amount

of Relevant Securities is not the same for

all Relevant Securities, ANZ may treat the

Relevant Securities as if converted into a

single currency of ANZ's choice at such rate

of exchange for each such currency as ANZ

in good faith considers reasonable;

(c) on the Trigger Event Conversion Date ANZ must

determine the Holders whose Notes will be Converted

at the time on that date that the Conversion is to take

effect and in making that determination may make

any decisions with respect to the identity of the

Holders at that time and date as may be necessary

or desirable to ensure Conversion occurs immediately

in an orderly manner, including disregarding any

transfers of Notes that have not been settled or

registered at that time;

or 4.8(c);

(f ) from the Trigger Event Conversion Date, subject to

clauses 6.13 and 10.2, ANZ shall treat the Holder of any

Note 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.

4.9 Priority of Conversion obligations

(a) Conversion on account of the occurrence of a Trigger

Event is not subject to the matters described in clause

4.3 as Mandatory Conversion Conditions.

(b) A Conversion required on account of a Trigger Event

takes place on the date, and in the manner, required

by clause 4.8, notwithstanding anything in clauses 4.1,

4.10, 5 or 9.

(c) If Conversion has not been effected within 5 Business

Days after the relevant Trigger Event Conversion Date

for any reason (including an Inability Event),

Conversion of those Notes on account of the Trigger

Event will not occur and those Notes shall be Written

Off in accordance with clause 6.13 and the provisions

of clauses 4.8(b), 4.8(c) and 4.8(d) shall apply in respect

of that Write Off and those Notes as if each reference

in those clauses to “Conversion” or “Convert” were a

reference to “Write Off ”.

4.10 Mandatory Conversion on

Change of Control

(a) If a Change of Control Event occurs, ANZ must

notify Holders as soon as practicable after becoming

aware of that event by providing a notice to Holders

(a Change of Control Conversion Notice) and

Convert all (but not some only) Notes on the Change

of Control Conversion Date, subject to and in

accordance with this clause 4 and clause 6.

(b) A Change of Control Conversion Notice must specify:

(i) the details of the relevant Change of Control Event;

(ii) the date on which Conversion is to occur

(the Change of Control Conversion Date),

which must be:

(A) the Business Day prior to the date reasonably

determined by ANZ to be the last date on

which holders of Ordinary Shares can

participate in the bid or scheme concerned or

such other earlier date as ANZ may reasonably

determine having regard to the timing for

implementation of the bid or scheme

concerned; or

(B) such later date as APRA may require; and

(iii) whether any Distribution will be paid on the

Change of Control Conversion Date.

(c) A Change of Control Conversion Notice is taken

to be revoked and Conversion will not occur if,

on the Change of Control Conversion Date:

(i) the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition

(calculated as if it referred to 20.21% of the Issue

Date VWAP); or

(ii) the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition,

would not be satisfied, in each case, determined

as if each reference to “Relevant Date” in those

conditions were a reference to the “Change of

Control Conversion Date”.

(d) If clause 4.10(c) applies, ANZ must:

(i) notify Holders as soon as practicable that

Conversion will not (or did not) occur (a Deferred

Change of Control Conversion Notice); and

(ii) subject to this clause 4.10, give a new Change of

Control Conversion Notice on or before the 25th

Business Day prior to the immediately succeeding

Scheduled Distribution Payment Date (under

clause 3.5(a)) which is at least 25 Business Days

after the date on which the Deferred Change of

Control Conversion Notice was given.

(e) If a new Change of Control Conversion Notice is

revoked, clause 4.10(d) shall be reapplied in respect

of each subsequent Distribution Payment Date

(under clause 3.5(a)) until a Conversion occurs.

(f ) Nothing in this clause 4.10 limits the operation

of clause 4.8.

5 OPTIONAL EXCHANGE BY ANZ
5.1 Optional Exchange by ANZ

ANZ may by notice to Holders (an Exchange Notice)

elect to Exchange:

(a) all or some Notes on an Exchange Date following the

occurrence of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event; or

(b) all or some Notes on an Optional Exchange Date.

An Exchange Notice once given is irrevocable, subject

to clauses 4.8 and 4.9.

5.2 Contents of Exchange Notice

An Exchange Notice must specify:

(a) the details of any Tax Event or Regulatory Event

to which the Exchange Notice relates;

(b) the date on which Exchange is to occur (the

Exchange Date), which:

(i) in the case of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event,

will be the last Business Day of the month

following the month in which the Exchange

Notice was given by ANZ unless ANZ determines

an earlier Exchange Date having regard to the best

interests of Holders as a whole and the relevant

event; or

(ii) in the case of an Optional Exchange Date, the

Optional Exchange Date which must fall:

(A) no earlier than 25 Business Days after the date

on which the Exchange Notice is given, where

the Exchange Method is Conversion; and

(B) no earlier than 5 Business Days after the date on

which the Exchange Notice is given, where the

Exchange Method is Redemption or Resale;

(c) the Exchange Method, which may not be Redemption

unless either:

(i) Notes the subject of the Exchange are replaced

concurrently or beforehand with Tier 1 Capital of

the same or better quality and the replacement

of the Notes is done under conditions that are

sustainable for ANZ’s income capacity; or

(ii) APRA is satisfied that the capital position of the

ANZ Level 1 Group, the ANZ Level 2 Group and,

if applicable, the ANZ Level 3 Group is well above

its minimum capital requirements after ANZ elects

to Redeem the Notes;

(d) if less than all Outstanding Notes are subject to

Exchange, which Notes are subject to Exchange; and

(e) whether any Distribution will be paid on the

Exchange Date.

5.3 Exchange Method

If ANZ elects to Exchange Notes in accordance with

this clause 5, it must, subject to APRA’s prior written

approval and clause 5.2(c) and clause 5.4, elect which of

the following (or which combination of the following) it

intends to do in respect of Notes (the Exchange Method):

(a) Convert Notes into Ordinary Shares in accordance

with clause 6;

(b) Redeem Notes in accordance with clause 7; or

(c) Resell Notes in accordance with clause 8.

If ANZ issues an Exchange Notice to Exchange only

approximately proportionate basis, but may discriminate

to take account of the effect on holdings which would be

Non-marketable Parcels and other considerations.

5.4 Restrictions on election by ANZ

of Conversion as Exchange Method

ANZ may not elect Conversion as the Exchange Method

in respect of an Exchange under this clause 5 if:

(a) on the second Business Day before the date on which

an Exchange Notice is to be sent by ANZ (or, if trading

in Ordinary Shares did not occur on that date, the last

Business Day prior to that date on which trading in

Ordinary Shares occurred) (the Non-Conversion Test

Date) the VWAP on that date is less than or equal to

22.50% of the Issue Date VWAP (the First Optional

Conversion Restriction); or

(b) a Delisting Event applies in respect of the

Non-Conversion Test Date (the Second Optional

Conversion Restriction and, together with the First

Optional Conversion Restriction, the Optional

Conversion Restrictions).

5.5 Conditions to Conversion occurring

once elected by ANZ

If ANZ has given an Exchange Notice in which it has

elected Conversion as the Exchange Method but, if the

Exchange Date were a Relevant Date for the purposes

of clause 4, either the Second Mandatory Conversion

Condition (as if it referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date

VWAP) or the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition

would not be satisfied in respect of that date, then,

notwithstanding any other provision of these Note Terms:

(a) the Exchange Date will be deferred until the first

Distribution Payment Date (under clause 3.5(a)) on

which the Mandatory Conversion Conditions would

be satisfied if that Distribution Payment Date were a

Relevant Date for the purposes of clause 4 (the

Deferred Conversion Date);

(b) ANZ must Convert the Notes on the Deferred

Conversion Date (unless the Notes are earlier

Exchanged in accordance with these Note Terms); and

(c) until the Deferred Conversion Date, all rights attaching

to the Notes will continue as if the Exchange Notice

had not been given.

ANZ will notify Holders on or as soon as practicable
after an Exchange Date in respect of which this clause 5.5

applies that Conversion did not occur on that Exchange

Date (a Deferred Conversion Notice).

5.6 Purchases

ANZ or any Related Entity of ANZ may at any time

purchase the Notes in the open market or otherwise and

at any price or consideration, subject to the prior written

approval of APRA.

Holders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be

given for any purchase of Notes under these Note Terms.

6 CONVERSION MECHANICS

6.1 Conversion

If ANZ elects to Convert Notes or must Convert Notes in

accordance with these Note Terms, then, subject to this

clause 6 and clause 11, the following provisions apply:

(a) ANZ will allot and issue on the Mandatory Conversion

Date, the Trigger Event Conversion Date, the Exchange

Date or the Change of Control Conversion Date (as the

case may be) a number of Ordinary Shares in respect

of each Note held by the Holder 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 = Face Value

(99% x VWAP)

where:

V WAP (expressed in dollars and cents) 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

=

Face Value

Issue Date VWAP ×

Relevant Number

where Relevant Number means:

(i) if Conversion is occurring on a Mandatory

Conversion Date, 0.5; and

(ii) if Conversion is occurring at any other time, 0.2;

(b) each Holder’s rights (including to payment of Face

Value and Distributions other than the Distribution,

if any, payable on a date when Conversion is required

that is not a Trigger Event Conversion Date) in relation

to each Note that is being Converted will be

immediately and irrevocably terminated for an amount

equal to the Face Value of that Note and ANZ will apply

that Face Value by way of payment for subscription for

the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued under

clause 6.1(a). Each Holder is taken to have irrevocably

directed that any amount payable under this clause 6.1

is to be applied as provided for in this clause 6.1 and no

Holder has any right to payment in any other way;

(c) if the total number of additional Ordinary Shares

to be allotted to a Holder in respect of their aggregate

holding of Notes upon Conversion 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 time) on the Mandatory Conversion Date,

the Trigger Event Conversion Date (unless another

time is required for Conversion on that date), the

Exchange Date or the Change of Control Conversion

Date (as the case may be). At that time all other rights

conferred or restrictions imposed on that Note under

these Note Terms will no longer have effect (except for

rights relating to a Distribution which is payable but

has not been paid on or before a date when

Conversion is required that is not a Trigger Event

Conversion Date which will continue).

6.2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in these Note Terms:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the

relevant VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares have been

quoted on ASX as cum dividend or cum any other

distribution or entitlement and Notes 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 clause 6.2(a)(i)

which is traded on ASX on any of those Business

Days, the volume weighted average sale price of

all such entitlements sold on ASX during the VWAP

Period on the Business Days on which those

entitlements were traded; or

(iii) in the case of any other entitlement which is not

traded on ASX during the VWAP Period, the value

of the entitlement as reasonably determined by

the Directors; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP

Period, Ordinary Shares have been quoted on ASX as

ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement,

and Notes 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.

93

AppendixHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationInvestment Risks

6.3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions
and similar transactions

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 ANZ’s

share capital (not involving any cash payment or other

distribution (or compensation) to or by Ordinary

Shareholders) (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 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.

6.4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP,

adjustments to VWAP will be made in accordance with

clause 6.2 and clause 6.3 during the VWAP Period for the

Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date, adjustments

to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with clauses 6.5 to 6.7

(inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will correspondingly affect the application

of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions, the Optional

Conversion Restrictions, and cause an adjustment to

the Maximum Conversion Number.

6.5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

for bonus issues

(a) Subject to clause 6.5(b) below, if ANZ 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 = V₀ × RD

RD + RN

where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately

after the application of this formula;

V₀ 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) Clause 6.5(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 clause 6.5(a), an issue will be

regarded as a pro rata issue notwithstanding that

ANZ does not make offers to some or all holders of

Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside

Australia, provided that in so doing ANZ is not in

contravention of the ASX Listing Rules.

(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made

under this clause 6.5 for any offer of Ordinary Shares

not covered by clause 6.5(a), including a rights issue

or other essentially pro rata issue.

(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of

Ordinary Shares except as covered by clause 6.5(a)

shall not in any way restrict ANZ from issuing Ordinary

Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit nor

require any consent or concurrence of any Holders.

6.6 Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP

for divisions and similar transactions

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date, a Reorganisation

occurs, ANZ 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) Each Holder acknowledges that ANZ 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.

6.7 No adjustment to Issue Date VWAP

in certain circumstances

Despite the provisions of clauses 6.5 and 6.6, 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.

6.8 Announcement of adjustment to VWAP
or Issue Date VWAP

ANZ will notify Holders (an Adjustment Notice) of any

adjustment to the VWAP or the Issue Date VWAP under

this clause 6 within 10 Business Days of ANZ determining

the adjustment and the adjustment set out in the

announcement will be final and binding on all Holders

and these Note Terms will be construed accordingly.

6.9 Ordinary Shares

Each Ordinary Share issued upon Conversion ranks pari

passu with all other fully paid Ordinary Shares.

6.10 Foreign Holders

Where Notes held by a Foreign Holder are to be

Converted, unless ANZ is satisfied that the laws of the

Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue

of Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which

ANZ is not bound to enquire), either unconditionally

or after compliance with conditions which ANZ in its

absolute discretion regards as acceptable and not unduly

onerous, the Ordinary Shares which the Foreign Holder is

obliged to accept will be issued to a nominee (which may

not be ANZ or a Related Entity of ANZ) who will sell those

Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the

Proceeds to the Foreign Holder.

6.11 FATC A Withholding on Conversion

Where a FATCA Withholding would be required or

permitted to be made in respect of Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion of Notes, the Ordinary Shares which the

Holder is obliged to accept will be issued, at ANZ’s

election, either:

(a) to the Holder of the Notes net of FATCA Withholding,

and the balance of the Ordinary Shares (if any) will be

issued to a nominee; or

(b) entirely to a nominee,

and in each case, the nominee (which may not be ANZ

or a Related Entity of ANZ) will sell the Ordinary Shares

issued to it, deal with any proceeds of their disposal in

accordance with FATCA and, where paragraph (b) applies

pay a cash amount equal to the Proceeds net of any

FATCA Withholding to the Holder.

6.12 Listing Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion

ANZ shall use all reasonable endeavours to list the

Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion of the Notes

on ASX.

6.13 Write Off

Notwithstanding clause 9.1(a), if Conversion has not been

effected within 5 Business Days after the relevant Trigger

Event Conversion Date for any reason (including an Inability

Event), each Note which, but for clause 4.9(c) and this clause

6.13, would be Converted, will be Written Off with effect on

and from the Trigger Event Conversion Date.

In this clause 6.13, Written Off means that, in respect

of a Note and a Trigger Event Conversion Date:

(a) the Note will not be Converted on that date and will

not be Converted, Redeemed or Resold under these

Note Terms on any subsequent date; and

(b) the relevant Holders’ rights (including to payment of

Distributions and Face Value) in relation to such Note

are immediately and irrevocably terminated and

written off.

6.14 No duties on sale

For the purposes of clauses 6.10 and 6.11, none of ANZ or

the nominee owes any obligations or duties to 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.

7 REDEMPTION MECHANICS

7.1 Redemption mechanics to apply

to Redemption

If, subject to APRA’s prior written approval and compliance

with the conditions in clause 5.2(c), ANZ elects to Redeem

Notes in accordance with these Note Terms, the provisions

of this clause 7 apply to that Redemption.

Holders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be

given for any Exchange of Notes under the Note Terms.

7.2 Redemption

Notes will be Redeemed by payment on the Exchange

Date of the Face Value to the Holder.

7.3 Effect of Redemption on Holders

On the Exchange Date the only right Holders will have in

respect of Notes will be to obtain the Face Value payable

in accordance with these Note Terms. Upon the Face Value

being paid (or taken to be paid in accordance with clause

13.3), all other rights conferred, or restrictions imposed, by

the Notes will no longer have effect.

approval of APRA) including:

(i) as to the conditions of any Resale, the procedures

for settlement of such Resale and the

circumstances in which the Exchange Notice

specifying Resale as the Exchange Method may

be amended, modified, added to or restated;

(ii) as to the substitution of another entity (not being

ANZ or a Related Entity of ANZ) as Purchaser if, for

any reason, ANZ is not satisfied that the Purchaser

will perform its obligations under this clause 8; and

(iii) as to the terms (if any) on which any Notes

acquired by a Purchaser may be redeemed,

converted or otherwise dealt with.

(c) If ANZ appoints more than one Purchaser in respect of

a Resale, all or any of the Notes held by a Holder which

are being Resold may be purchased by any one or any

combination of the Purchasers, as determined by ANZ.

(d) ANZ may not appoint itself or any Related Entity

of ANZ as a Purchaser.

(e) If ANZ issues an Exchange Notice specifying Resale

as the Exchange Method:

(i) each Holder is taken irrevocably to offer to sell the

relevant number of their Notes to the Purchaser

on the Exchange Date for a cash amount per Note

equal to the Face Value;

(ii) subject to payment by the Purchaser of the Face

Value to Holders, all right, title and interests in the

relevant number of Notes will be transferred from

the Holders to the Purchaser on the Exchange

Date; and

(iii) if the Purchaser does not pay the Face Value

to the relevant Holders on the Exchange Date,

the Exchange Notice specifying Resale as the

Exchange Method will be void as it relates to that

Purchaser, the relevant number of Notes will not

be transferred to the Purchaser, those Notes are

not Resold on that date and a Holder has no claim

on ANZ as a result of that non-payment.

(f ) Clause 13 will apply to payments by the Purchaser

as if the Purchaser was ANZ. If any payment to a

particular Holder is not made or treated as made

on the Exchange Date because of any error by or on

behalf of the Purchaser, the relevant Notes of that

Holder will not be transferred until payment is made

but the transfer of all other relevant Notes will not

be affected by the failure.

9 GENERAL RIGHTS IN

RESPECT OF NOTES

9.1 Ranking in a winding-up

(a) If an order is made by a court of competent

jurisdiction in Australia (other than an order

successfully appealed or permanently stayed

within 30 days), or an effective resolution passed,

for the winding-up of ANZ in Australia, the Notes

are redeemable for the Face Value in accordance

with this clause 9.1.

(b) In a winding-up of ANZ in Australia, a Note confers

upon the Holder, subject to clauses 4.8 and 6.13,

the right to payment in cash of the Face Value on a

subordinated basis in accordance with clause 9.1(c),

but no further or other claim on ANZ in the winding-

up of ANZ in Australia, including with respect to any

unpaid Distribution.

(c) Holders will rank for payment of the Face Value in

a winding-up of ANZ in Australia:

(i) in priority to Ordinary Shares;

(ii) equally among themselves and with all Equal

Ranking Instruments with respect to priority of

payment in a winding-up; and

(iii) junior to the claims of all Senior Creditors

with respect to priority of payment in a

winding-up in that:

(A) all claims of Senior Creditors must be paid

in full (including in respect of any entitlement

to interest under section 563B of the

Corporations Act) before the claims of the

Holders are paid; and

(B) until the Senior Creditors have been paid

in full, the Holders must not claim in the

winding-up of ANZ in competition with

the Senior Creditors so as to diminish any

distribution, dividend or payment which,

but for that claim, the Senior Creditors

would have been entitled to receive,

so that the Holder receives, for each Note it holds,

an amount equal to the amount it would have

received if, in the winding-up of ANZ, it had held

an issued and fully paid Preference Share.

9.2 No charge

Nothing in clause 9.1 or clause 9.3 shall be taken to:

(a) create a charge or security interest on or over any

right of the Holder; or

(b) require the consent of any Senior Creditor to any

amendment of these Note Terms made in accordance

with clause 14.

Each Holder irrevocably agrees:

(a) that clause 9.1 is a debt subordination for the

purposes of section 563C of the Corporations Act;

(b) that it does not have, and waives to the maximum

extent permitted by law, any entitlement to interest

under section 563B of the Corporations Act to the

extent that a holder of a Preference Share would not

be entitled to such interest;

(c) not to exercise any voting or other rights as a creditor

in the winding-up of ANZ in any jurisdiction:

(i) until after all Senior Creditors have been

paid in full; or

(ii) otherwise in a manner inconsistent with the

subordination contemplated by clause 9.1;

(d) that it must pay or deliver to the liquidator any

amount or asset received on account of its claim

in the winding-up of ANZ in respect of a Note in

excess of its entitlement under clause 9.1; and

(e) that the debt subordination effected by clause 9.1

set-off against a Holder in respect of any claim by

that Holder against ANZ.

9.6 No security

Notes are unsecured.

9.7 Shortfall on winding-up

If, upon a return of capital on a winding-up of ANZ, there

are insufficient funds to pay in full the Face Value and the

Holders and the holders of any such other instruments

will share in any distribution of assets of ANZ in proportion

to the amounts to which they are entitled respectively.

in a winding-up beyond payment of the Face Value.

ordinary shares upon a Conversion notwithstanding

anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion

different rights from the Notes);

(ii) except as provided in clause 3.7, redeeming,

buying back, converting, returning capital on or

and

(b) all dealings (including transfers and payments) in

13 PAYMENTS

13.1 Payments to Holders on the Record Date

Distributions are only payable on a Distribution Payment

Date to those persons registered as Holders on the Record

Date for that Distribution payment.

13.2 Manner of payment to Holders

Payments will be made by ANZ in its absolute

discretion by:

(a) crediting on the relevant payment date the amount

due to an Australian dollar bank account maintained

in Australia with a financial institution (excluding credit

card accounts), notified by the Holder to the Registry

by close of business on the Record Date in respect of

that payment; or

(b) at ANZ’s option if no such account is notified, by

sending a cheque through the post at the Holder’s

risk directed to:

(i) the address of the Holder (or in the case of a jointly

held Note, the address of the joint Holder named

first in the Register); or

(ii) to any other address the Holder (or in the case

of a jointly held Note, all the joint Holders) directs

in writing.

A cheque sent through the post on or before the date

for payment is taken to have been received on the

payment date.

13.3 Uncompleted payments

If:

(a) a Holder has not notified the Registry of an Australian

dollar bank account maintained with a financial

institution (excluding credit card accounts) to which

payments in respect of the Notes may be credited; or

(b) the transfer of any amount for payment to the credit

of the nominated account does not complete for any

reason, the amount of the uncompleted payment will

be held in a special purpose account maintained by

ANZ or the Registry until:

(i) the Holder nominates a suitable Australian dollar

account maintained in Australia with a financial

institution to which the payment may be credited

or ANZ elects to pay the amount by cheque;

(ii) ANZ determines as permitted by clause 13.4 to

refuse any claim in respect of that amount in

which case ANZ may treat that amount as its

own; or

(iii) ANZ is entitled or obliged to deal with the

amount in accordance with the law relating

to unclaimed moneys.

Where this clause 13.3 applies the amount payable

in respect of the Notes shall be treated as having been

paid on the date scheduled for payment. A Holder is

not entitled to any interest in respect of the account

in which uncompleted payments are held or in respect

of any delay in payment.

13.4 Time limit on claims

ANZ is entitled to refuse any claim against it for a payment

under a Note where the claim is made more than 10 years

(in the case of Face Value) or 5 years (in the case of

Distributions and other amounts) from the date on

which payment first became due.

13.5 Determination and calculation final

Except where there is fraud or a manifest error, any

determination or calculation which ANZ makes in

accordance with these Note Terms is final and binds

ANZ, the Registry and each Holder.

13.6 Payment to joint Holders

A payment to any one of joint Holders will discharge

ANZ’s liability in respect of that payment.

13.7 Payment on Business Days

If a payment is to be made to an account on a Business

Day on which banks are not open for business in the

place the account is located, payment will be made

on the next day on which banks are open for business

in that place, and no additional interest is payable in

respect of that delay in payment. Nothing in this clause

applies to any payment referred to in clause 6.1(b).

13.8 No interest accrues

No interest accrues on any unpaid amount in respect

of any Note.

13.9 Payments subject to law

All payments are subject to applicable law.

13.10 Taxation deductions and withholdings

ANZ or the Purchaser, as applicable, may make any

deduction or withholding from any amount payable in

respect of the Notes (or upon or with respect to the issue

of any Ordinary Shares upon a Conversion), as required by

law or any agreement with a governmental authority. If

any such deduction or withholding has been paid to the

relevant governmental authority and the balance paid (or,

in the case of a Conversion, Ordinary Shares issued) to the

relevant Holder, then the full amount payable (or, in the

case of a Conversion, the Conversion Number of Ordinary

Shares) to such Holder shall be deemed to have been duly

paid and satisfied (or, in the case of a Conversion, issued)

by ANZ or the Purchaser, as applicable.

Purchaser, as applicable, will not be required to pay any

further amounts or issue any further Ordinary Shares on

reimburse or compensate, or make any payment to, a

Holder or a beneficial owner of Notes for or in respect

of any such withholding or deduction.

13.11 FATC A

Without limiting clause 13.10, ANZ or the Purchaser,

as applicable, may withhold or make deductions from

payments or from the issue of Ordinary Shares to a Holder

where it is required to do so under or in connection with

FATCA, or where it has reasonable grounds to suspect that

the Holder or a beneficial owner of Notes may be subject

to FATCA, and may deal with such payment and any

Ordinary Shares in accordance with FATCA. If any

withholding or deduction arises under or in connection

with FATCA, ANZ will not be required to pay any further

amounts or issue any further Ordinary Shares on account

of such withholding or deduction or otherwise reimburse

or compensate, or make any payment to, a Holder or a

beneficial owner of Notes for or in respect of any such

withholding or deduction.

ANZ, in its absolute discretion, may require information

from a Holder to be provided to any relevant authority,

to determine the applicability of any withholding under

(b) is of a formal, minor or technical nature;

(c) is necessary to comply with any law, the provisions

of any statute or the requirements of any statutory

authority;

(d) is made in accordance with ANZ’s adjustment

rights in clause 6;

(e) is expedient for the purpose of enabling the Notes to

(including, without limitation, in connection with any

change in the principal securities exchange on which

Ordinary Shares are listed) or lodged in a clearing

system or to remain lodged in a clearing system or

to be offered for sale or for subscription under the

(f ) amends any date or time period stated, required

or permitted in connection with any Mandatory

Conversion or Exchange in a manner necessary to

14.2 Amendment without consent for

Substitution of an approved NOHC

Subject to complying with all applicable laws and clause

14.4, if the circumstances described in clauses 11.1(a) and

11.1(b) apply, without the authority, assent or approval of

Holders, ANZ may give an Approved NOHC Substitution

Notice which:

(a) amends the definition of “Conversion” in clause 6 such

that, unless APRA otherwise agrees, on the date Notes

are to be Converted:

(i) each Note that is being Converted will be

automatically transferred by each Holder free

from Encumbrance to the Approved NOHC

on the date the Conversion is to occur;

(ii) each Holder (or nominee where clause 6.10

applies) will be issued a number of Approved

NOHC Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion

Number; and

(iii) as between ANZ and the Approved NOHC each

Note held by the Approved NOHC as a result of

the transfer will be automatically Converted into

Ordinary Shares in a number such that the total

number of Ordinary Shares held by the Approved

NOHC increases by the number which equals the

number of Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares

issued by the Approved NOHC to Holders on

Conversion; and

(b) makes such other amendments as in ANZ’s reasonable

opinion are necessary and appropriate to effect the

substitution of an Approved NOHC as the provider

of the ordinary shares on Conversion in the manner

contemplated by these Note Terms and consistent

with the requirements of APRA in relation to

Additional Tier 1 Capital, including without limitation:

(i) amendments and additions to the definition of

“ANZ Group”, “Franking Rate”, “Ordinary Shares”,

“Regulatory Event” and “Tax Event”;

(ii) amendments to the mechanics for adjusting

the Conversion Number; and

(iii) any term defining the rights of Holders if the

Conversion is not effected which is appropriate

for the Notes to remain as Tier 1 Capital.

waives any objection to the courts of Victoria, Australia
