Corporations (Disregarding Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73
This notice is given by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) under
section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), as modified by ASIC Corporations
(Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Corporations (Disregarding
Technical Relief) Instrument 2016/73 (Corporations Act) and clause 7(1)(a) of the Financial
Markets Conduct (Same Class Offers ASX/NZX-Quoted Financial Products) Exemption
Notice 2018 (Exemption).
1. ANZ has announced a fully underwritten pro rata accelerated renounceable entitlement
offer with retail entitlements trading on the ASX to eligible shareholders to subscribe for 1
new fully paid ANZ ordinary share (New Share) for every 15 existing ANZ ordinary
shares held as at 7.00pm (Melbourne time) on 21 July 2022, to raise approximately $3.5
billion (Entitlement Offer). Each New Share will be issued at an issue price of $18.90.
2. The Entitlement Offer is being made to investors in New Zealand in reliance upon an
exemption in clause 5 of the Exemption.
3. ANZ confirms that:
(a) the New Shares will be offered for issue without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the
Corporations Act;
(b) this notice is being given under section 708AA(2)(f) of the Corporations Act;
(c) as at the date of this notice, ANZ has complied with:
(i) the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act as they apply to ANZ;
and
(ii) section 674 and 674A of the Corporations Act;
(d) as at the date of this notice, there is no “excluded information” of the type referred to
in sections 708AA(8) or 708AA(9) of the Corporations Act; and
(e) the potential effect that the Entitlement Offer will have on the control of ANZ, and the
consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including investor
demand. However, given the size of the Entitlement Offer, the composition of ANZ’s
share register and the structure of the Entitlement Offer as a pro rata offer, ANZ does
not expect the Entitlement Offer to have any material effect or consequence on the
control of ANZ.
