Appendix 3B

Proposed issue of +securities

Information and documents given to ASX become ASX’s property and may be made public.

If you are an entity incorporated outside Australia and you are proposing to issue a new class of

+securities other than CDIs, you will need to obtain and provide an International Securities

Identification Number (ISIN) for that class. For offers where the +securities proposed to be issued are

in an existing class of security, and the event timetable includes rights (or entitlement for non-

renounceable issues), and deferred settlement trading or a representation of such, ASX requires the

issuer to advise ASX of the ISIN code for the rights (or entitlement), and deferred settlement trading.

This code will be different to the existing class. If the securities do not rank equally with the existing

class, the same ISIN code will be used for that security to continue to be quoted while it does not rank.

Further information on the requirement for the notification of an ISIN is available from the Create

Online Forms page. ASX is unable to create the new ISIN for non-Australian issuers.

*Denotes minimum information required for first lodgement of this form, with exceptions provided in

specific notes for certain questions. The balance of the information, where applicable, must be

provided as soon as reasonably practicable by the entity.

PRICING SUPPLEMENT

THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT WILL BE ISSUED IN RESPECT OF NOTES WHICH ARE

NOT ADMITTED TO THE OFFICIAL LIST OF THE UK FINANCIAL CONDUCT

AUTHORITY OR TO ANY OTHER UNITED KINGDOM REGULATED MARKET OR

EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA REGULATED MARKET OR OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC

IN THE UNITED KINGDOM FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE UK PROSPECTUS

REGULATION OR IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE

EU PROSPECTUS REGULATION. THE PRICING SUPPLEMENT HAS NOT BEEN

REVIEWED OR APPROVED BY THE UK FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY AND DOES

NOT CONSTITUTE A PROSPECTUS FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE UK PROSPECTUS

REGULATION.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be

offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available

to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor

means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of

Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive

(EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not

qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key

information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs

Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in

the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them

available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be

offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available

to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (the "UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a

person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU)

No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018

("EUWA") and the regulations made under EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the

provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") and any rules or

regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not

qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014

as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA or the regulations made under EUWA.

Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part

of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes

or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering

or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful

under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

Notification under Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (the "SFA")

– The Notes are "prescribed capital markets products" (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital

Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in the

Monetary Authority of Singapore (the "MAS") Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment

Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

Where interest, discount income, prepayment fee, redemption premium or break cost is derived from any

of the Notes by any person who is not resident in Singapore and who carries on any operations in

Singapore through a permanent establishment in Singapore, the tax exemption available for qualifying

debt securities (subject to certain conditions) under the Income Tax Act 1947 (2020 Revised Edition) of

Singapore (the "ITA"), shall not apply if such person acquires such Notes using the funds and profits of

such person’s operations through a permanent establishment in Singapore. Any person whose interest,

discount income, prepayment fee, redemption premium or break cost derived from the Notes is not

exempt from tax (including for the reasons described above) shall include such income in a return of

income made under the ITA.

ANNEX A – ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE

This Annex A is deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and form part of, the Information

Memorandum.

On 4 May 2022, the Issuer announced it intends to lodge a formal application with APRA, the Federal

Treasurer and other applicable regulators to establish a non-operating holding company ("Approved

NOHC") and create distinct banking and non-banking groups within the organisation. Should the

proposed restructure proceed, a new listed parent holding company will be created with two wholly-

owned distinct groups of entities sitting directly beneath it, a ‘Banking Group’ which would comprise

the Issuer and the majority of present-day subsidiaries, and a ‘Non-Banking Group’ which would allow

banking-adjacent businesses to be developed or acquired.

APRA has advised after preliminary discussions that it has no in-principle objections to the proposed

restructure. To date, the Issuer has not received any objections to the proposed restructure from other key

Australian and New Zealand regulators.

The proposal is subject to final approval by the Board of the Issuer and regulatory approvals, and will

require approval by the Federal Court and the Issuer’s shareholders.

Should the proposed restructure proceed, the Issuer may (with the prior written approval of APRA)

amend the terms of the issued Subordinated Notes in accordance with Condition 5D.2 to substitute the

Approved NOHC as the provider of ordinary shares upon Conversion of the Subordinated Notes.

Such amendments may be made without the approval of Subordinated Noteholders.

Subordinated Noteholders will receive a notice specifying the amendments to the terms of the

Subordinated Notes as soon as practicable after the proposed restructure takes place.

ANNEX B – SINGAPORE TAXATION

This Annex B is deemed to be incorporated by reference in, and form part of, the Information

Memorandum.

The statements below are general in nature and are based on the laws (including certain aspects of

current tax laws in Singapore and administrative guidelines and circulars issued by the Monetary

Authority of Singapore ("MAS") and Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore ("IRAS")) in force as at the

date of this Pricing Supplement and are subject to any changes in such laws, administrative guidelines

or circulars, or the interpretation of those laws, guidelines or circulars, occurring after such date, which

changes could be made on a retroactive basis. These laws, guidelines and circulars are also subject to

various interpretations and the relevant tax authorities or the courts could later disagree with the

explanations or conclusions set out below. Neither these statements nor any other statements in this

Pricing Supplement are intended or are to be regarded as advice on the tax position of any holder of the

Notes or of any person acquiring, selling or otherwise dealing with the Notes or on any tax implications

arising from the acquisition, sale or other dealings in respect of the Notes. The statements made herein

do not purport to be a comprehensive or exhaustive description of all the tax considerations that may be

relevant to a decision to subscribe for, purchase, own or dispose of the Notes and do not purport to deal

with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers in

securities or financial institutions in Singapore which have been granted the relevant financial sector

incentive(s)) may be subject to special rules or tax rates. Prospective holders of the Notes are advised to

consult their own professional tax advisers as to the Singapore or other tax consequences of the

acquisition, ownership of or disposal of the Notes, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state

or local tax laws to which they are subject. It is emphasised that none of the Issuer, the Joint Lead

Managers and any other persons involved in the Programme or the issuance of the Notes accepts

responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities resulting from the subscription for, purchase, holding or

disposal of the Notes.

Interest and Other Payments

Generally, interest and other payments derived by a holder of the Notes who is not resident in Singapore

and who does not have any permanent establishment in Singapore is not subject to tax, as such income

is likely to be regarded as arising from a source outside Singapore, given that the Issuer is issuing the

Notes outside Singapore and not through a branch or otherwise in Singapore. However, even if such

interest and payments are regarded as sourced in Singapore, such interest and other payments may also

be exempt from tax, including withholding of tax, if the Notes qualify as "qualifying debt securities" as

discussed below.

Subject to the following paragraphs, under Section 12(6) of the Income Tax Act 1947 (2020 Revised

Edition) of Singapore ("ITA"), the following payments are deemed to be derived from Singapore:

(a)any interest, commission, fee or any other payment in connection with any loan or indebtedness

or with any arrangement, management, guarantee, or service relating to any loan or indebtedness

which is (i) borne, directly or indirectly, by a person resident in Singapore or a permanent

establishment in Singapore (except in respect of any business carried on outside Singapore

through a permanent establishment outside Singapore or any immovable property situate

d

out

side Singapore) or (ii) deductible against any income accruing in or derived from Singapore;

or

(b)any income derived from loans where the funds provided by such loans are brought into or used

in Singapore.

Such payments, where made to a person not known to the paying party to be a resident in Singapore for

tax purposes, are generally subject to withholding tax in Singapore. The rate at which tax is to be withheld

for such payments (other than those subject to the 15 per cent. final withholding tax described below) to

non-resident persons (other than non-resident individuals) is currently 17 per cent. The applicable rate

for non-resident individuals is currently 22 per cent., and is proposed to be increased to 24 per cent. from

the year of assessment 2024 pursuant to the Singapore Budget Statement 2022. However, if the payment

is derived by a person not resident in Singapore otherwise than from any trade, business, profession or

vocation carried on or exercised by such person in Singapore and is not effectively connected with any

permanent establishment in Singapore of that person, the payment is subject to a final withholding tax

of 15 per cent. The rate of 15 per cent. may be reduced by applicable tax treaties.

10239815040-v3
-14 -

70-41041308

However, certain Singapore-sourced investment income derived by individuals from financial

instruments is exempt from tax, including:

(i)interest from debt securities derived on or after 1 January 2004;

(ii)discount income (not including discount income arising from secondary trading) from debt

securities derived on or after 17 February 2006; and

(iii)prepayment fee, redemption premium and break cost from debt securities derived on or after 1

5

F

ebruary 2007,

except where such income is derived through a partnership in Singapore or is derived from the carrying

on of a trade, business or profession in Singapore.

The terms "break cost", "prepayment fee" and "redemption premium" are defined in the ITA as follows:

"break cost", in relation to debt securities and qualifying debt securities, means any fee payable by the

issuer of the securities on the early redemption of the securities, the amount of which is determined by

any loss or liability incurred by the holder of the securities in connection with such redemption;

"prepayment fee", in relation to debt securities and qualifying debt securities, means any fee payable by

the issuer of the securities on the early redemption of the securities, the amount of which is determined

by the terms of the issuance of the securities; and

"redemption premium", in relation to debt securities and qualifying debt securities, means any premium

payable by the issuer of the securities on the redemption of the securities upon their maturity.

References to "break cost", "prepayment fee" and "redemption premium" in this Singapore tax disclosure

have the same meaning as defined in the ITA.

In addition, if more than half of the Notes are distributed by any or any combination of financial

institutions in Singapore with the Financial Sector Incentive (Bond Market), Financial Sector Incentive

(Standard Tier) or Financial Sector Incentive (Capital Market) tax incentives (as defined in the ITA), the

Notes would be "qualifying debt securities" for the purposes of the ITA, to which the following

treatments shall apply:

(i)subject to certain prescribed conditions having been fulfilled (including the furnishing by the

Issuer, or such other person as the MAS may direct, to the MAS of a return on debt securities

in respect of the Notes in the prescribed format within such period as the MAS may specify a

nd

s

uch other particulars in connection with the Notes as the MAS may require, and the inclusi

on

by t

he Issuer in all offering documents relating to the Notes of a statement to the effect that

where interest, discount income, prepayment fee, redemption premium or break cost from the

Notes is derived by a person who is not resident in Singapore and who carries on any operati

on

i

n Singapore through a permanent establishment in Singapore, the tax exemption for qualifying

debt securities shall not apply if the non-resident person acquires the Notes using the funds a

nd

pr

ofits of such person's operations through the Singapore permanent establishment), interest,

discount income (not including discount income arising from secondary trading), prepayment

fee, redemption premium and break cost (collectively, the "Specified Income") from the Notes

paid by the Issuer and derived by a holder who is not resident in Singapore and who (aa) does

not have any permanent establishment in Singapore or (bb) carries on any operation i

n

S

ingapore through a permanent establishment in Singapore but the funds used by that person t

o

a

cquire the Notes are not obtained from such person's operation through a permanent

establishment in Singapore, are exempt from Singapore income tax;

(ii)subject to certain conditions having been fulfilled (including the furnishing by the Issuer, or

such other person as the MAS may direct, to the MAS of a return on debt securities in respect

of the Notes in the prescribed format within such period as the MAS may specify and such other

particulars in connection with the Notes as the MAS may require), Specified Income from the

Notes derived by any company or body of persons (as defined in the ITA) in Singapore, other

than any non-resident who qualifies for the tax exemption as described in paragraph (i) above,

is subject to income tax at a concessionary rate of 10 per cent. (except for holders of the relevant

Financial Sector Incentive(s) who may be taxed at different rates); and

(iii)subject to:

(aa)the Issuer including in all offering documents relating to the Notes a statement to the

effect that any person whose interest, discount income, prepayment fee, redemption

10239815040-v3
-15 -

70-41041308

premium or break cost (i.e. the Specified Income) derived from the Notes is not exempt

from tax shall include such income in a return of income made under the ITA; and

(bb) the Issuer, or such other person as the MAS may direct, furnishing to the MAS a return

on debt securities in respect of the Notes in the prescribed format within such period

as the MAS may specify and such other particulars in connection with the Notes as the

MAS may require,

payments of Specified Income derived from the Notes are not subject to withholding of tax by

the Issuer.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)if during the primary launch of any tranche of the Notes, the Notes are issued to fewer than four

(4)

pe

rsons and 50 per cent. or more of the issue of such Notes is beneficially held or funded,

directly or indirectly, by related parties of the Issuer, such Notes would not qualify as

"qualifying debt securities"; a

nd

(

B)even where the Notes are "qualifying debt securities", if, at any time during the tenure of suc

h

N

otes, 50 per cent. or more of the issue of such Notes which are outstanding at any time during

the life of their issue is beneficially held or funded, directly or indirectly, by any related party(ies)

of the Issuer, Specified Income derived from such Notes held by:

(i)any related party of the Issuer; or

(ii)any other person where the funds used by such person to acquire such Notes are

obtained, directly or indirectly, from any related party of the Issuer,

shall not be eligible for the tax exemption or concessionary rate of tax as described above.

The term "related party", in relation to a person (A), means any other person who, directly or indirectly,

controls A, or is controlled, directly or indirectly, by A, or where A and that other person, directly or

indirectly, are under the control of a common person.

Where interest, discount income, prepayment fee, redemption premium or break cost (i.e. the Specified

Income) is derived from the Notes by any person who is not resident in Singapore and who carries on

any operations in Singapore through a permanent establishment in Singapore, the tax exemption available

for qualifying debt securities under the ITA (as mentioned above) shall not apply if such person acquires

such Notes using the funds and profits of such person's operations through a permanent establishment in

Singapore.

Notwithstanding that the Issuer is permitted to make payments of Specified Income in respect of the

Notes without deduction or withholding of tax under Section 45 or Section 45A of the ITA, any person

whose Specified Income (whether it is interest, discount income, prepayment fee, redemption premium

or break cost) derived from the Notes is not exempt from tax is required to include such income in a

return of income made under the ITA.

Capital Gains

Any gains considered to be in the nature of capital made from the sale of the Notes will not be taxable in

Singapore. However, any gains derived by any person from the sale of the Notes which are gains from

any trade, business, profession or vocation carried on by that person, if accruing in or derived from

Singapore, may be taxable as such gains are considered revenue in nature.

Holders of the Notes who apply or who are required to apply Singapore Financial Reporting Standard 39

– Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement ("FRS 39"), Singapore Financial Reporting

Standard 109 – Financial Instruments ("FRS 109") or Singapore Financial Reporting Standard

(International) 9 ("SFRS(I) 9") (as the case may be), may for Singapore income tax purposes be require

d

t

o recognise gains or losses (not being gains or losses in the nature of capital) on the Notes, irrespective

of disposal, for tax purposes in accordance with the provisions of FRS 39, FRS 109 or SFRS(I) 9 (as th

e

c

ase may be) (as modified by the applicable provisions of Singapore income tax law) even though no

sale or disposal of the Notes is made. Please see the section below on "Adoption of FRS 39, FRS 109 or

SFRS(I) 9 Treatment for Singapore Income Tax Purposes".

Adoption of FRS 39, FRS 109 or SFRS(I) 9 Treatment for Singapore Income Tax Purposes

Section 34A of the ITA provides for the tax treatment for financial instruments in accordance with FRS

39 (subject to certain exceptions and "opt-out" provisions) to taxpayers who are required to comply with

10239815040-v3
-16 -

70-41041308

FRS 39 for financial reporting purposes. The IRAS has also issued an e-tax guide entitled "Income Tax

Implications Arising from the Adoption of FRS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition &

Measurement".

FRS 109 or SFRS(I) 9 (as the case may be) is mandatorily effective for annual periods beginning on or

after 1 January 2018, replacing FRS 39. Section 34AA of the ITA requires taxpayers who comply or who

are required to comply with FRS 109 or SFRS(I) 9 for financial reporting purposes to calculate their

profit, loss or expense for Singapore income tax purposes in respect of financial instruments in

accordance with FRS 109 or SFRS(I) 9 (as the case may be), subject to certain exceptions. The IRAS

has also issued an e-tax guide entitled "Income Tax: Income Tax Treatment Arising from Adoption of

FRS 109 - Financial Instruments".

Holders of the Notes who may be subject to the tax treatment under sections 34A or 34AA of the ITA

should consult their own accounting and tax advisers regarding the Singapore income tax consequences

of their acquisition, holding or disposal of the Notes.

Estate Duty

Singapore estate duty has been abolished with respect to all deaths occurring on or after 15 February

2008.

Risks relating to Singapore Taxation

The Notes are intended to be "qualifying debt securities" for the purposes of the ITA, subject to the

fulfilment of certain conditions more particularly described above. However, should the relevant tax laws

be amended or revoked at any time, there is a risk that the Notes will no longer benefit from the tax

concessions in connection therewith which could have an adverse impact on the tax position of

Noteholders.

ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited

ANZ New Zealand (Int'l) Limited

US$60,000,000,000

Euro Medium Term Note Programme

Under the US$60,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") established by

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited ("ANZBGL"), ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited

("ANZ New Zealand") and ANZ New Zealand (Int'l) Limited ("ANZNIL") (each an "Issuer" and

together the "Issuers"), each Issuer may from time to time issue notes ("Notes") denominated in any

currency agreed between it and the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below). This document (the "Base

Prospectus") comprises a separate base prospectus for each Issuer as further described on pages (iv) to

(vi). The payment of all amounts due in respect of any Notes issued by ANZNIL will be unconditionally

and irrevocably guaranteed by ANZ New Zealand (in such capacity, the "Guarantor"). This Base

Prospectus supersedes and replaces in its entirety the Base Prospectus dated 20 November 2020 (as

supplemented) for each of ANZBGL, ANZ New Zealand and ANZNIL with regard to the Programme.

Any Notes issued under the Programme on or after the date of this Base Prospectus are issued subject to

the provisions described herein.

The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to ANZBGL, Barclays Bank PLC, Barclays Capital Asia

Limited, BNP Paribas, Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Credit Suisse International, Daiwa Capital

Markets Europe Limited, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Goldman Sachs International, HSBC

Bank plc, J.P. Morgan Securities plc, Merrill Lynch International, Morgan Stanley & Co. International

plc, RBC Europe Limited, Société Générale and UBS AG London Branch (as dealers under the

Programme) and/or any additional dealer appointed under the Programme (and whose appointment has

not been terminated) from time to time by the relevant Issuer (each a "Dealer" and together, the

"Dealers"), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this

Base Prospectus to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be)

subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Notes. References in

this Base Prospectus to the "Arranger" shall be to Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, in its capacity

as arranger of the Programme.

Prospective investors should review the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors"

on pages 20 to 68 of this Base Prospectus. This Base Prospectus does not describe all of the risks of

an investment in the Notes.

Prospective investors should ensure that they understand the nature of the relevant Notes and the

extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider the suitability of the relevant Notes as an

investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition. It is the responsibility

of prospective investors to ensure that they have sufficient knowledge, experience and professional

advice to make their own legal, financial, tax, accounting and other evaluation of the merits and

risks of investing in the Notes and are not relying on the advice of the relevant Issuer, the

Guarantor or the relevant Dealer(s) in that regard.

This Base Prospectus constitutes three base prospectuses, one for each Issuer and has been approved by

the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), as competent authority under Regulation

(EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of United Kingdom ("UK") domestic law by virtue of the European

Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") and the regulations made under the EUWA (the "UK

Prospectus Regulation"). The FCA only approves this Base Prospectus as meeting the standards of
completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the UK Prospectus Regulation. Such

approval should not be considered as an endorsement of an Issuer or the Guarantor nor as an endorsement

of the quality of any Notes that are the subject of this Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own

assessment as to the suitability of investing in any such Notes. This Base Prospectus is valid for a period

of twelve months from the date of approval.

Application has been made to the FCA in its capacity as competent authority under the Financial Services

and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the "FSMA") for Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted

to the Official List of the FCA (the "Official List") and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London

Stock Exchange") for such Notes to be admitted to trading on the main market of the London Stock

Exchange (the "main market of the London Stock Exchange")during the period of 12 months from

the date of this Base Prospectus. The main market of the London Stock Exchange is a UK regulated

market for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 on markets in financial instruments as it forms

part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA ("UK MiFIR"). Admission to the Official List together

with admission to the main market of the London Stock Exchange constitutes official listing on the

London Stock Exchange. References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being "listed" (and all related

references) shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean that such Notes have been admitted to

trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange and have been admitted to the Official List.

Pages 241 to 366 of this document comprise an information memorandum (the "Information

Memorandum") in respect of issues of notes which are not admitted to the Official List or any other UK

regulated market or any market in the European Economic Area ("EEA") which is a regulated market

for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") or offered to the public in the UK

or in the EEA ("Non PR Notes"). The Information Memorandum has not been reviewed or approved by

the FCA and does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation.

The principal amount (being the amount which is used to calculate payments made on each Note or Non

PR Note) of all Notes and Non PR Notes outstanding at any time under the Programme will not exceed

US$60,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies), provided that the principal amount of all Notes

and Non PR Notes issued by ANZBGL outstanding at any time will not exceed US$50,000,000,000 and

the principal amount of all Notes and Non PR Notes issued by ANZ New Zealand and ANZNIL,

collectively, outstanding at any time will not exceed US$10,000,000,000.

ANZNIL will issue Notes under the Programme acting through its London branch. ANZNIL issues Notes

under the Programme through its London branch for certain legal, administrative and regulatory reasons,

including (without limitation) to facilitate timely access to funding markets. Interest payments thereunder

are subject to applicable tax laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions – see

section entitled "Taxation" on pages 208 to 215. Investors should be aware that a branch is not a

subsidiary and does not comprise a separate legal entity. The obligations under the Notes issued by

ANZNIL acting through its London branch are of ANZNIL only, and investors' claims under such Notes

are only against ANZNIL (although, as noted above, the payment of all amounts due in respect of any

Notes issued by ANZNIL will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by ANZ New Zealand).

The Notes issued by ANZ New Zealand or ANZNIL are not guaranteed by, and do not represent deposit

liabilities or protected accounts of, ANZBGL.

Notice of the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes, the issue

price of Notes and any other terms and conditions not contained herein which are applicable to each

Tranche as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes set out at pages 72 to 135 of this Base

Prospectus (the "Conditions") will be set out in a separate document containing the final terms for that

Tranche (the "Final Terms") which, with respect to Notes to be listed on the London Stock Exchange,

will be delivered to the FCA and the London Stock Exchange on or before the date of issue of such

Tranche of Notes.

deductions;

classified as Common Equity Tier 1 Capital but with loss absorbing characteristics; and

bank than Tier 1 Capital, it still has some capacity to absorb losses and strengthens banks' overall

capital positions.

The Notes are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme

The Notes to be issued under the Programme are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation

Scheme (the "FSCS"). As a result, neither the FSCS nor anyone else will pay compensation to you upon

the failure of the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor or the Group as a whole. If the relevant Issuer and/or the

Guarantor go out of business or become insolvent, you may lose all or part of your investment in any

Notes.

The Notes do not benefit from deposit protection under the Banking Act 1959 of Australia

The Notes issued by an Issuer will not be deposit liabilities or protected accounts (as defined in the

Banking Act 1959 of Australia (the "Banking Act")) of that Issuer. A "protected account" is broadly an

account kept by an account holder with an authorised deposit-taking institution ("ADI") (i) where the

ADI is required to pay the account-holder, on demand or at an agreed time, the net credit balance of the

account; or (ii) that is otherwise prescribed by regulation. Protected accounts include current accounts,

savings accounts and term deposit accounts. Protected accounts must be recorded in Australian currency

and must not be kept at a foreign branch of an ADI. The Notes are not guaranteed or insured by any

government, government agency or compensation scheme of Australia or any jurisdiction. Notes issued

by ANZ New Zealand and ANZNIL are not guaranteed by, and do not represent deposit liabilities or

protected accounts of, ANZBGL. ANZ New Zealand and ANZNIL are not ADIs in Australia.

and anyone who receives the Base Prospectus must not distribute it to any person who is not entitled to

receive it.

Notice to potential investors

The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must

determine the suitability of any investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential

investor should consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers,

whether it:

ix
(a)has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the

merits and risks of investing in the Notes, the rights attaching to the Notes and the information

contained in or incorporated into this Base Prospectus (and any applicable supplement to this

Base Prospectus) or the relevant Final Terms;

(b)has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its

particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on

its overall investment portfolio;

(c)has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the

Notes, including Notes where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from

the potential investor's currency;

(d)understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and is familiar with the behaviour of the financial

markets and their potential impact on the likelihood of certain events under the Notes occurring;

and

(e)is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect

its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, and/or

review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to

determine whether and to what extent (i) Notes are legal investments for it, (ii) Notes can be used as

collateral for various types of borrowing and (iii) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any

Notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine

the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

None of this Base Prospectus, any information or any document incorporated by reference herein, or any

Final Terms constitute an offer of, or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase, any Notes by any of the

Issuers, the Guarantor, the Dealers or the Arranger or is intended to provide the basis of any credit or

other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuers, the Guarantor, the

Dealers or any of them that any recipient of this Base Prospectus, any information or any document

incorporated by reference herein, or any Final Terms should subscribe for or purchase any Notes. Each

recipient of this Base Prospectus, any information or any document incorporated by reference herein, or

any Final Terms shall be taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the condition

(financial or otherwise) of the relevant Issuer and, where applicable, the Guarantor. None of the Dealers

or the Arranger undertakes to review the financial condition or affairs of any of the Issuers or the

Guarantor during the life of the arrangements contemplated by this Base Prospectus nor to advise any

investor or potential investor in the Notes of any information coming to the attention of any of the Dealers

or the Arranger.

No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those

contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made,

such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuers, the

Guarantor or any of the Dealers or the Arranger. Neither the delivery of this Base Prospectus nor any

sale made in connection herewith shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has

been no change in the affairs of any of the Issuers or the Guarantor since the date hereof or the date upon

which this Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or that there has been no

adverse change in the financial position of any of the Issuers or the Guarantor since the date hereof or

the date upon which this Base Prospectus has been most recently amended or supplemented or that any

other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct as of any time subsequent to the

date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.

Neither the Notes nor the Guarantee have been, and neither will be, registered under the U.S. Securities

Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state

or other jurisdiction in the United States. Subject to certain exceptions, Notes may not be offered or sold

within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S

under the Securities Act). Notes in bearer form may be subject to U.S. tax law requirements and may not

be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person (as

defined in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "U.S. Internal Revenue Code")).

x
For a description of certain restrictions on offers and sales of Notes and on distribution of this Base

Prospectus or any Final Terms, see the section entitled "Subscription and Sale".

IMPORTANT – EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or

otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail

investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a

retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of

Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer

would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.

Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended,

the "EUPRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to

retail investors in the EEA will be prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise

making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs

Regulation.

IMPORTANT – UK RETAIL INVESTORS - The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or

otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail

investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a

retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of

domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA

and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that

customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation

(EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and regulations made under

the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as

it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or

selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and

therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the

UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II Product Governance / target market - The Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, as the case

may be) in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which

will outline the conclusion of the target market assessment completed by the relevant "manufacturer(s)"

in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes they consider are appropriate.

Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into

consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for

undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the

target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

A determination will be made by the relevant Dealer(s) in relation to each issue about whether, for the

purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID

Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a "manufacturer" in respect of

such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will

be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.

Each Issuer is not subject to MiFID II and any implementation thereof by an EU Member State. It is

therefore not a "manufacturer" for the purposes of the MiFID Product Governance Rules and has no

responsibility or liability for identifying a target market, or any other product governance obligation set

out in MiFID II, for financial instruments it issues (including any target market assessment for the

relevant Notes).

UK MiFIR Product Governance / target market – The Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, as the

case may be) in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance"

which will outline the conclusion of the target market assessment completed by the relevant

"manufacturer(s)" in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes they consider

are appropriate. Any distributor subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes should take

into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook

Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance

Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either

adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

xi
A determination will be made by the relevant Dealer(s) in relation to each issue about whether, for the

purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a

manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of

their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance

Rules.

Each Issuer is not subject to UK MiFIR. It is therefore not a "manufacturer" for the purposes of the UK

MiFIR Product Governance Rules and has no responsibility or liability for identifying a target market,

or any other product governance obligation set out in UK MiFIR, for financial instruments it issues

(including any target market assessment for the relevant Notes).

No retail product distribution conduct

This Base Prospectus and the Notes are not for distribution to any person in Australia who is a retail

client for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act. No target market determination has been

or will be made for the purposes of Part 7.8A of the Corporations Act.

Notification under Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore (the "SFA"):

Unless otherwise stated in the Final Terms (or the Pricing Supplement as the case may be), each Issuer

has determined and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A of the SFA) that the

Notes issued or to be issued under the programme shall be prescribed capital markets products (as defined

in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment

Products (as defined in the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the "MAS") Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice

on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on

Investment Products).

Benchmarks Regulation

UK Benchmarks Regulation: Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated

by reference to certain reference rates. Any such reference rate may constitute a benchmark for the

purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as it forms part of domestic law in the UK by virtue of the

EUWA (the "UK Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such reference rate does constitute such a

benchmark, the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, as the case may be) will indicate whether or not the

benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register of administrators and benchmarks

established and maintained by the FCA pursuant to Article 36 (Register of administrators and

benchmarks) of the UK Benchmarks Regulation. Transitional provisions in the UK Benchmarks

Regulation may have the result that the administrator of a particular benchmark is not required to appear

in the register of administrators and benchmarks at the date of the applicable Final Terms (or Pricing

Supplement). The registration status of any administrator under the UK Benchmarks Regulation is a

matter of public record and, save where required by applicable law, the Issuers do not intend to update

the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, as the case may be) to reflect any change in the registration

status of the administrator.

EU Benchmarks Regulation: Interest and/or other amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated

by reference to certain reference rates. Any such reference rate may also constitute a benchmark for the

purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011, as amended (the "EU Benchmarks Regulation"). If any such

reference rate does constitute such a benchmark, the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, as the case

may be) will indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the

register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by ESMA pursuant to Article 36

(Register of administrators and benchmarks) of the EU Benchmarks Regulation. The registration status

of any administrator under the EU Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record and, save where

required by applicable law, the Issuers do not intend to update the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement,

as the case may be) to reflect any change in the registration status of the administrator.

This Base Prospectus is based on English law in effect as at the date of issue of this Base Prospectus.

Except to the extent required by laws and regulations, none of the Issuers and the Guarantor intend, and

assume any obligation, to update this Base Prospectus in light of the impact of any judicial decision or

change to English law or administrative practice after the date of this Base Prospectus.

Notice to potential investors in NZ Subordinated Notes

Under the Programme, ANZ New Zealand may from time to time issue subordinated notes ("NZ

SubordinatedNotes"). Potential investors in respect of such NZ Subordinated Notes should note that

NZ Subordinated Notes are complex financial instruments, which include features which are required

for the NZ Subordinated Notes to qualify as ANZ New Zealand Group's Tier 2 Capital under the RBNZ's

prudential standards. In particular, potential investors in NZ Subordinated Notes should note that, by

purchasing NZ Subordinated Notes, they are deemed to irrevocably acknowledge and agree to the

provisions contained in Condition 3(b) ("Status and Guarantee – NZ Subordinated Notes – ANZ New

Zealand"). As a result, an investment in the NZ Subordinated Notes will involve certain increased risks.

A potential investor should not invest in the NZ Subordinated Notes unless it has the knowledge and

expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the NZ Subordinated Notes will

perform under changing conditions and their resulting effects on the value of the NZ Subordinated Notes,

and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio. Prior to

making an investment decision, potential investors in NZ Subordinated Notes should consider carefully,

in light of their own financial circumstances and investment objectives, all the information contained in

this Base Prospectus or incorporated by reference herein.

VPS Notes

Under this Programme, an Issuer may issue Notes registered in the Norwegian Central Securities

Depository, Verdipapirsentralen ASA ("VPS Notes"). Any issue of VPS Notes under this Programme

will be subject to the issuance of a Drawdown Prospectus.

Stabilisation

In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) acting as stabilising

manager (the "Stabilising Manager(s)") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilising Manager(s))

may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at a

level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur.

Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms

of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must

end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days

after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment

must be conducted by the relevant Stabilising Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilising

Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules and outside Australia and New Zealand

(and not on any market in Australia or New Zealand).

Optional Redemption .............................. The relevant Final Terms will state whether the relevant

Notes may be redeemed (either in whole or in part) prior

to their stated maturity at the option of the relevant Issuer

and at the option of either or both of the relevant Issuer

and the holders, and if so the terms applicable to such

NZ Subordinated Notes may only be redeemed prior to

their stated maturity with the prior written approval of the

RBNZ and only (i) upon the occurrence of an NZ

Subordinated Note Tax Event pursuant to Condition 5(c)

redeemed where either (i) the NZ Subordinated Notes to

be redeemed are replaced with paid-up Regulatory

Capital pursuant to Condition 5(j)(i)(A) (Redemption,

Purchase and Options – NZ Subordinated Notes -

Approval of RBNZ); or (ii) ANZ New Zealand has

demonstrated to the RBNZ's satisfaction that, after the

redemption, the ANZ New Zealand Group's capital ratios

would be sufficiently above their respective minimums

and the prudential capital buffer ratio would be

sufficiently above its buffer trigger ratio.

Early Redemption for Tax Reasons ......... The relevant Issuer shall have the right to redeem the

Notes (other than NZ Subordinated Notes) at their Early

Redemption Amount if the relevant Issuer (or, if

applicable, the Guarantor) has or will become obliged to

pay additional amounts as a result of the imposition of

withholding tax.

17
Early Redemption due to an NZ

Subordinated Note Tax Event: ................

ANZ New Zealand shall have the right to redeem NZ

Subordinated Notes at their Early Redemption Amount

(with prior written consent of the RBNZ) where it

determines in its absolute discretion that an NZ

Subordinated Note Tax Event has occured in accordance

with and subject to Condition 5(c) (Redemption for

Taxation Reasons Applicable to NZ Subordinated Notes).

Early Redemption due to an NZ

Subordinated Note Regulatory

Event.....................

ANZ New Zealand shall have the right to redeem NZ

Subordinated Notes at their Early Redemption Amount

(with prior written consent of the RBNZ) where it

determines in its absolute discretion that an NZ

Subordinated Note Regulatory Event has occured in

accordance with and subject to Condition 5(d)

(Redemption of NZ Subordinated Notes for Regulatory

Reasons).

Status of the Notes ...................................

The Notes (other than NZ Subordinated Notes) constitute

direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the

relevant Issuer ranking pari passu among themselves and

(save for certain debts of the relevant Issuer required to

be preferred by applicable law, including (but not limited

to), in the case of ANZBGL, those in respect of protected

accounts (as defined in the Banking Act 1959 of

Australia) in Australia and various debts due to the

Australian Prudential Regulation Authority ("APRA")

and the Reserve Bank of Australia ("RBA") required to

be preferred by Australian law) with all other present and

future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the

relevant Issuer.

NZ Subordinated

Notes..........................

NZ Subordinated Notes may only be issued under the

Programme by ANZ New Zealand.

The NZ Subordinated Notes constitute direct, unsecured

and subordinated obligations of ANZ New Zealand

ranking pari passu among themselves. The claims of

holders of NZ Subordinated Notes will, in the event of the

liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, be subordinated in

right of payment to all Senior Creditors of ANZ New

Zealand as described in Condition 3(b) (Status and

Guarantee – NZ Subordinated Notes).

In respect of NZ Subordinated Notes, prior to the stated

maturity of the NZ Subordinated Notes or the

commencement of liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, the

obligation of ANZ New Zealand to make payments

(including of any principal and interest) on the NZ

Subordinated Notes will be conditional on ANZ New

Zealand being Solvent (as defined in Condition 4(p)

(Definitions)) at the time of, and immediately after, such

payment by ANZ New Zealand. Any failure to pay as a

result of this solvency condition not being satisfied will

not constitute an event of default in respect of the NZ

Subordinated Notes.

18
Notes issued as NZ Subordinated Notes must not be Zero

Coupon Notes, Range Accrual Notes, Inverse Floating

Rate Notes, Instalment Notes, CMS Rate Notes or any

combination of any of the foregoing. The Final Terms in

respect of any Notes issued as NZ Subordinated Notes

may not specify a rate multiplier, maximum rate of

interest or instalment amount.

No conversion or write-off of NZ

Subordinated Notes.........................

For the avoidance of doubt, under the Conditions the NZ

Subordinated Notes are not subject to conversion or

write-off.

Status of the Guarantee............................ The payments of all amounts due in respect of Notes

issued by ANZNIL will be unconditionally and

irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor. The Guarantee

constitutes direct, unconditional and unsecured

obligations of the Guarantor which (save for certain debts

of the Guarantor required to be preferred by law) will at

all times rank pari passu among themselves and equally

with all other unsubordinated and unsecured obligations

of the Guarantor. Notes issued by ANZ New Zealand and

ANZNIL are not guaranteed by ANZBGL.

Withholding Tax .....................................

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the

Notes will be made free and clear of all withholding taxes

of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant Issuer

and, where applicable, the Guarantor, and/or, where

ANZNIL is the Issuer, the United Kingdom, unless such

withholding is required by law. In that event, the relevant

Issuer or, where applicable, the Guarantor shall pay

additional amounts to the Noteholders as shall result in

receipt by those Noteholders of such amounts as would

have been received by them had no such withholding

been required, except that no such additional amounts

shall be payable with respect to any Note in the

circumstances described in Condition 7 (Taxation) in the

Terms and Conditions of the Notes.

Governing Law ........................................ English law, except for: (i) for the NZ Subordinated

Notes, the subordination provisions (including

Conditions 3(b) (Status and Guarantee– NZ

Subordinated Notes – ANZ New Zealand) and 10

(Subordination)) and the conditions relating to payment

and events of default of the NZ Subordinated Notes

(including Conditions 4(v) (Interest and other

Calculations – Conditions of Payment in respect of NZ

Subordinated Notes) and 9(b) (Events of Default – NZ

Subordinated Notes), which will be governed by, and

construed in accordance with, the laws of New Zealand;

and (ii) the registration of VPS Notes in the VPS as well

as the recording and transfer of ownership to, and other

interests in, VPS Notes and Condition 11(c) (Meeting of

Noteholders, Modifications and Waiver – VPS Notes)

which will be governed by, and construed in accordance

with, Norwegian law. The VPS Trustee Agreement is,

and any VPS Agency Agreement will be, governed by

and construed in accordance with, Norwegian law.

19
VPS Notes must comply with the relevant regulations of

the VPS and the holders of VPS Notes will be entitled to

the rights and are subject to the obligations and liabilities

which arise under the relevant Norwegian regulations and

legislation.

Listing and Admission to Trading ........... Application has been made for Notes issued under the

Programme to be admitted to the Official List of the FCA

and to trading on the main market of the London Stock

Exchange.

Each Series may be admitted to listing and trading on

other of further stock exchanges or markets agreed

between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer in

relation to the Series.

The applicable Final Terms will state whether or not the

relevant Notes are to be listed and/or admitted to trading

and, if so, on which stock exchanges and/or markets.

Selling Restrictions .................................

Area (including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France,

Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway

and Sweden), the United Kingdom, Singapore, South

Korea, Taiwan, the United States and Hong Kong. See

the section entitled "Subscription and Sale" of this Base

Prospectus.

Regulation S under the Securities Act.

20
RISK FACTORS

Introduction

Any investment in the Notes issued under the Programme will involve risks including those described in

this section. All principal or material risks that have been identified by the Issuers and the Guarantor

are included in this section. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following discussion of

the risk factors and the other information in this Base Prospectus. Prospective investors should be aware

that the risks set forth below are not exhaustive (as these will not include those risks that have not been

identified by the Issuers or the Guarantor) and should carefully consider the following factors in addition

to the matters set out elsewhere in this Base Prospectus before investing in the Notes offered under this

Base Prospectus.

As at the date of this Base Prospectus, the Issuers and the Guarantor believe that the following risk

factors may affect the Issuers' abilities to fulfil their obligations, or the Guarantor's ability to perform

its obligations, under or in respect of the Notes or the Guarantee and could be material for the purpose

of assessing the market risks associated with the Notes.

If any of the following factors actually occur, the trading price of the Notes of the relevant Issuer could

decline and an investor could lose all or part of its investment. Prospective investors should read the

entire Base Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.

Words and expressions defined in the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" below or elsewhere in this

Base Prospectus have the same meanings in this section.

RISKS RELATING TO THE NOTES

Risks related to the nature of all Notes which may be issued under the Programme

The Notes are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme

Unlike a bank deposit, the Notes are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the

"FSCS"). As a result, neither the FSCS nor anyone else will pay compensation upon the failure of the

relevant Issuer, the Guarantor or the Group. If the relevant Issuer or the Guarantor goes out of business

or becomes insolvent, investors may lose all or part of their investment in the Notes.

Credit rating may not reflect all risks of an investment in the Notes

The credit ratings of the Notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to the structure and

other factors on any trading market for, or trading value of, the Notes. In addition, real or anticipated

changes in the credit rating of the relevant Issuer or any Notes will generally affect any trading market

for, or trading value of, the Notes.

In general, investors regulated in the EU are restricted under the EU CRA Regulation from using credit

ratings for regulatory purposes in the EU, unless such ratings are issued by a credit rating agency

established in the EU and registered under the EU CRA Regulation (and such registration has not been

withdrawn or suspended), subject to transitional provisions that apply in certain circumstances whilst the

registration application is pending. Such general restriction will also apply in the case of credit ratings

issued by non-EU credit rating agencies, unless the relevant credit ratings are endorsed by an EU-

registered credit rating agency or the relevant non-EU rating agency is certified in accordance with the

EU CRA Regulation (and such endorsement action or certification, as the case may be, has not been

withdrawn or suspended). The list of registered and certified rating agencies published by ESMA on its

website in accordance with the EU CRA Regulation is not conclusive evidence of the status of the

relevant rating agency included in such list, as there may be delays between certain supervisory measures

being taken against a relevant rating agency and the publication of the updated ESMA list.

Investors regulated in the UK are subject to similar restrictions under the UK CRA Regulation. As such,

UK regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes unless such ratings are

21
issued by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation (and

such registration has not been withdrawn or suspended). In the case of ratings issued by third country

non-UK credit rating agencies, third country credit ratings can either be: (a) endorsed by a UK registered

credit rating agency; or (b) issued by a third country credit rating agency that is certified in accordance

with the UK CRA Regulation. Note that this is subject, in each case, to (a) the relevant UK registration,

certification or endorsement, as the case may be, not having been withdrawn or suspended, and (b)

transitional provisions that apply in certain circumstances. In the case of third country ratings, for a

certain limited period of time, transitional relief accommodates continued use for regulatory purposes in

the UK, of existing pre-2021 ratings, provided the relevant conditions are satisfied.

As a result of the UK CRA Regulation and EU CRA Regulation, if the status of a rating agency rating

the Notes changes, investors regulated in the UK or the EU may no longer be able to use the rating of

that rating agency for regulatory purposes and the Notes may have different regulatory treatment. This

may result in investors in the UK or the EU selling the Notes which may impact the value of the Notes

in any secondary market.

Certain information with respect to the Issuers' ratings and the credit rating agencies which have assigned

such ratings is set out under the heading "Important Notices" at the beginning of this Base Prospectus.

Where an issue of Notes is rated, such rating will be specified in the relevant Final Terms and may not

necessarily be the same as the rating assigned to the relevant Issuer.

The Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity

In the event that the relevant Issuer, or the Guarantor, if applicable, would be obliged to pay additional

amounts in respect of any Notes (other than NZ Subordinated Notes) due to any withholding or deduction

for, or on account of, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed,

levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the relevant Issuer's taxing jurisdiction, or

Guarantor's taxing jurisdiction, if applicable, or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, the

Issuer may redeem all of the relevant Notes in accordance with the Conditions.

If the relevant Issuer has the right to redeem any Notes at its option, this may limit the market value of

the Notes concerned and an investor may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a manner

which achieves a similar effective return.

An optional redemption feature is likely to limit the market value of Notes. During any period when the

relevant Issuer may elect to redeem Notes, the market value of those Notes generally will not rise

substantially above the price at which they can be redeemed. This also may be true prior to any

redemption period.

The relevant Issuer may be expected to redeem Notes when its cost of borrowing is lower than the interest

rate on those Notes. At those times, an investor generally would not be able to reinvest the redemption

proceeds at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Notes being redeemed and may

only be able to do so at a significantly lower rate. Potential investors should consider reinvestment risk

in light of other investments available at that time.

Insolvency and similar proceedings

In the event that an Issuer becomes insolvent, insolvency proceedings in respect of ANZBGL will be

governed by Australian law, and insolvency proceedings in respect of ANZ New Zealand and ANZNIL

will generally be governed by New Zealand law. Potential investors should be aware that Australian and

New Zealand insolvency laws are different from the insolvency laws in other jurisdictions. In particular:

(i) in the case of insolvency proceedings against ANZBGL, the voluntary administration procedure under

the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia (the "Corporations Act"), which provides for the potential re-

organisation of an insolvent company; and (ii) in the case of insolvency proceedings against ANZ New

Zealand and ANZNIL, the voluntary administration procedure under the New Zealand Companies Act

1993 and the statutory management regimes under the Corporations (Investigation and Management)

Act 1989 ("CIM Act") and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989 (the "Reserve Bank Act"),

differ significantly from similar provisions under the insolvency laws of other jurisdictions.

22
Under the Banking Act, APRA may appoint a Banking Act statutory manager to an ADI (of which

ANZBGL is one) in certain circumstances, including where APRA considers that the ADI may become

unable to meet its obligations or may suspend payment. Under section 15C of the Banking Act, a party

to a contract with an ADI may not deny any obligations under that contract, accelerate any debt under

that contract, close out any transaction relating to that contract, or enforce any security under that

contract, on the grounds that a Banking Act statutory manager is in control of the ADI's business.

Accordingly, this may prevent holders of Notes from accelerating repayment of their Notes on the

grounds that a Banking Act statutory manager has been appointed.

In addition, claims against ANZBGL under Australian law are subject to mandatory priority provisions

including those applying to ADIs (see the risk factor entitled "Notes subject to prior claims").

Pursuant to the Reserve Bank Act, the RBNZmay give a registered bank, which includes ANZ New

Zealand, or an associated person a direction in writing and/or place the registered bank under statutory

management in certain circumstances, including where the RBNZ has reasonable grounds to believe that

the registered bank or the associated person is insolvent or is likely to become insolvent. As a corporation,

ANZNIL may be placed into statutory management in similar circumstances under the CIM Act. A

registered bank, such as ANZ New Zealand, can also be placed into statutory management if it fails to

comply with a direction given by the RBNZ. Where a corporation is declared to be subject to statutory

management, a moratorium will apply and no person shall commence any action or other proceedings

against that corporation. Accordingly, Noteholders may be prevented from enforcing rights in connection

with the Notes where ANZ New Zealand and/or ANZNIL have been placed into statutory management.

If ANZ New Zealand were placed under statutory management, Noteholders may be further restricted in

enforcing their rights against ANZ New Zealand due to Open Bank Resolution ("OBR"). OBR is an

RBNZ policy option aimed at resolving a bank failure quickly, including by suspending payment of a

portion of liabilities so the bank can be promptly reopened for business, consequently minimising stresses

on the overall banking and payments system. Under the RBNZ's conditions of registration for registered

banks, New Zealand-incorporated registered banks with retail deposits over NZ$1 billion (which

includes ANZ New Zealand) are required to comply with the OBR Pre-positioning Requirements Policy

(BS17), which describes the process and requirements on banks.

In addition, to the extent that the holders of the Notes are entitled to any recovery with respect to the

Notes in any bankruptcy or certain other events in bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or reorganisation

relating to the Issuer, those holders might be entitled only to a recovery in Australian dollars (where

ANZBGL is the Issuer) or New Zealand dollars (where ANZ New Zealand or ANZNIL is the Issuer).

Modification and waivers and substitution

The Terms and Conditions of the Notes (see the section entitled "Terms and Conditions of the Notes"

below) (and, in respect of VPS Notes, the VPS Trustee Agreement) contain provisions for calling

meetings of Noteholders to consider matters affecting their interests generally and for the passing of

resolutions by way of an Extraordinary Resolution, Written Resolution or Electronic Consent (each as

defined in the Agency Agreement). These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Noteholders

including Noteholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting (or did not participate in the

process for obtaining the Written Resolution or Electronic Consent) and Noteholders who voted in a

manner contrary to the majority.

In the case of VPS Notes, the VPS Trustee Agreement provides that:

(i) the VPS Trustee may in certain circumstances, without the consent of the holders of the VPS

Notes, make decisions binding on all holders relating to the Terms and Conditions of the

relevant VPS Notes and the VPS Trustee Agreement, including amendments which are not, in

the VPS Trustee's opinion, detrimental to the rights and benefits of the affected holders of the

VPS Notes; and

(ii) the VPS Trustee may reach other decisions binding for all holders of VPS Notes.

23
Accordingly, holders are exposed to the risk that their rights in respect of the Notes or VPS Notes are

varied against their will, which may result in their investment in the Notes or VPS Notes becoming less

advantageous to a particular holder depending on their individual circumstances.

Exchange rate risks and exchange controls

The Issuers will pay principal and interest on the Notes in the Specified Currency. This presents certain

risks relating to currency conversions if an investor's financial activities are denominated principally in

a currency or currency unit (the "Investor's Currency") other than the Specified Currency. These

include the risk that exchange rates may significantly change (including changes due to devaluation of

the Specified Currency or revaluation of the Investor's Currency) and the risk that authorities with

jurisdiction over the Investor's Currency or the Specified Currency may impose or modify exchange

controls. An appreciation in the value of the Investor's Currency relative to the Specified Currency would

decrease (1) the Investor's Currency-equivalent yield on the Notes, (2) the Investor's Currency-equivalent

value of the principal payable on the Notes and (3) the Investor's Currency-equivalent market value of

the Notes.

Government and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls

that could adversely affect an applicable exchange rate. As a result, investors may receive less interest

or principal than expected, or no interest or principal.

Risks related to particular types of all Notes which may be issued under the Programme

Inverse Floating Rate Notes

Inverse floating rate Notes have an interest rate equal to a fixed rate minus a rate based upon a reference

rate such as the London inter-bank offered rate ("LIBOR"). The market values of those Notes typically

are more volatile than market values of other conventional floating rate debt securities based on the same

reference rate (and with otherwise comparable terms). Inverse floating rate Notes are more volatile

because an increase in the reference rate not only decreases the interest rate of the Notes, but may also

reflect an increase in prevailing interest rates, which further adversely affects the market value of these

Notes.

Fixed/Floating Rate Notes

Fixed/floating rate Notes may bear interest at a rate that the Issuer may elect to convert from a fixed rate

to a floating rate, or from a floating rate to a fixed rate. The Issuer's ability to convert the interest rate

will affect the secondary market and the market value of the Notes since the Issuer may be expected to

convert the rate when it is likely to produce a lower overall cost of borrowing. If the Issuer converts from

a fixed rate to a floating rate, the spread on the fixed/floating rate Notes may be less favourable than then

prevailing spreads on comparable floating rate Notes tied to the same reference rate. In addition, the new

floating rate at any time may be lower than the rates on other Notes. If the Issuer converts from a floating

rate to a fixed rate, the fixed rate may be lower than then prevailing rates on its Notes.

Range Accrual Notes

The interest in respect of Range Accrual Notes is calculated by reference to the number of days in an

interest accrual period that a specified reference rate or rates and/or the spread between two constant

maturity swap rates are either "greater than or equal to" or "greater than" and "less than or equal to" or

"less than" certain predetermined levels on certain dates within an interest accrual period. In the event

that such conditionality is not satisfied in respect of one or more dates falling within an interest accrual

period (or, where Protection Barrier is specified as applicable in the relevant Final Terms and the

Protection Barrier Condition is not satisfied), no interest may be payable in respect of such interest

accrual period or interest will only be paid in respect of those days in the interest accrual period when

such conditionality is satisfied.

Interest rate risks

Investment in fixed rate Notes involves the risk that subsequent changes in market interest rates may

adversely affect the value of fixed rate Notes.

24
The market continues to develop in relation to SONIA as a reference rate for Notes

The market continues to develop in relation to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") as a

reference rate in the capital markets and its adoption as an alternative to Sterling LIBOR. In particular,

market participants and relevant working groups are exploring alternative reference rates based on

SONIA, including term SONIA reference rates (which seek to measure the market's forward expectation

of an average SONIA rate over a designated term).

The market or a significant part thereof may adopt an application of SONIA that differs significantly

from that set out in the Conditions and used in relation to Floating Rate Notes that reference a SONIA

rate issued under this Programme. Furthermore, an Issuer may in the future also issue Notes referencing

SONIA that differ materially in terms of interest determination when compared with any previous

SONIA referenced Notes issued by it under this Programme. The development of Compounded Daily

SONIA as interest reference rate for the Eurobond markets, as well as continued development of the

SONIA-based rate for such markets and the market infrastructure for adopting such rate, could result in

reduced liquidity or increased volatility or could otherwise affect the market price of any SONIA-

referenced Notes issued under the Programme from time to time.

Furthermore, interest on Notes which reference a SONIA rate is only capable of being determined

immediately prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date. It may be difficult for holders of Notes that

reference a SONIA rate to reliably estimate the amount of interest that will be payable on such Notes and

some investors may be unable or unwilling to trade such Notes without changes to their information

technology systems, both of which could adversely impact the liquidity of such Notes. Further, if the

Notes become due and payable under Condition 9 (Events of Default), the Rate of Interest payable will

be determined on the date the Notes became due and payable and will not be reset thereafter. Investors

should consider these matters when making their investment decision with respect to any such Floating

Rate Notes.

Investors should be aware that the manner of adoption or application of SONIA as a reference rate in the

Eurobond markets may differ materially compared with the application and adoption of SONIA in other

markets, such as the derivatives and loan markets. Investors should carefully consider how any mismatch

between the adoption of SONIA as a reference rate across these markets may impact any hedging or

other arrangements which they may put in place in connection with any acquisition, holding or disposal

of Notes referencing SONIA.

Since SONIA is a relatively new market index, Notes linked to SONIA may have no established trading

market when issued, and an established trading market may never develop or may not be very liquid.

Market terms for debt securities linked to SONIA may evolve over time and trading prices of the Notes

may be lower than those of later issued Notes that are linked to SONIA as a result. Further, if SONIA

does not prove to be widely used in securities like the Notes, the trading price of such Notes linked to

SONIA may be lower than those of Notes linked to indices that are more widely used. Investors in such

Notes may not be able to sell such Notes at all or may not be able to sell such Notes at prices that will

provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market,

and may consequently suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk.

In addition, in the event that the SONIA reference rate is not published at the time when it is required,

the Conditions of the Notes provide for certain fallback arrangements which apply specifically to those

Notes referencing SONIA and which are distinct to those applying to other floating rate Notes, including

that the SONIA reference rate may be (i) the Bank of England's Bank Rate (the "Bank Rate") prevailing

on the relevant London Banking Day; plus (ii) the mean of the spread of the SONIA reference rate to the

Bank Rate over the previous five days on which a SONIA reference rate has been published excluding

the highest and lowest spread to the Bank Rate.

Investors should consider these matters when making their investment decision in relation to Floating

Rate Notes which reference SONIA.

SOFR's composition and characteristics are not the same as LIBOR's

25
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") is currently published by the Federal Reserve Bank of

New York and is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralised

by Treasury securities and a current alternative to U.S. Dollar LIBOR. The composition and

characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of U.S. Dollar LIBOR. There can be no assurance that

SOFR will perform in the same way as U.S. Dollar LIBOR would have at any time.

The market continues to develop in relation to SOFR as a reference rate for Notes

Publication of SOFR data began in April 2018 and publication of SOFR Index data began in March 2021

and therefore have a relatively limited history. In addition, the future performance of SOFR cannot be

predicted based on its historical performance. The level of SOFR over the term of the Notes may bear

little or no relation to the historical level of SOFR. Prior observed patterns, if any, in the behaviour of

market variables, such as correlations, may change in the future. While some pre-publication hypothetical

performance data has been published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, such data inherently

involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. Furthermore, since the initial publication of SOFR,

daily changes in the rate have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable

benchmark or market rates. As a result, the return on and value of Notes that reference SOFR may

fluctuate more than floating rate debt securities that are linked to less volatile rates. The future

performance of SOFR is impossible to predict and therefore no future performance of SOFR or the Notes

may be inferred from any of the hypothetical or actual historical performance data.

The market or a significant part thereof may adopt an application of SOFR that differs significantly from

that set out in the Conditions and used in relation to Floating Rate Notes that reference a SOFR rate

issued under this Programme. An Issuer may in the future also issue Notes referencing SOFR that differ

materially in terms of interest determination when compared with any previous SOFR referenced Notes

issued by it under this Programme. The development of Compounded Daily SOFR and Compounded

SOFR Index as an interest reference rate for the Eurobond markets, as well as continued development of

SOFR-based rates for such markets and the market infrastructure for adopting such rates, could result in

reduced liquidity or increased volatility or could otherwise affect the market price of any SOFR-

referenced Notes issued under this Programme from time to time.

Furthermore, interest on Notes which reference a SOFR rate is only capable of being determined on the

Interest Determination Date. It may be difficult for holders of Notes that reference a SOFR rate to reliably

estimate the amount of interest that will be payable on such Notes and some investors may be unable or

unwilling to trade such Notes without changes to their information technology systems, both of which

could adversely impact the liquidity of such Notes. Further, if the Notes become due and payable as

described under Condition 9 (Events of Default), the Rate of Interest payable shall be determined on the

date the Notes became due and payable and shall not be reset thereafter. Investors should consider these

matters when making their investment decision with respect to any such Floating Rate Notes.

Investors should be aware that the manner of adoption or application of SOFR as a reference rate in the

Eurobond markets may differ materially compared with the application and adoption of SOFR in other

markets, such as the derivatives and loan markets. Investors should carefully consider how any mismatch

between the adoption of SOFR as a reference rate across these markets may impact any hedging or other

arrangements which they may put in place in connection with any acquisition, holding or disposal of

Notes referencing SOFR.

Since SOFR is a relatively new market index, Notes linked to SOFR may have no established trading

market when issued, and an established trading market may never develop or may not be very liquid.

Market terms for debt securities linked to SOFR, such as the margin over SOFR reflected in interest rate

provisions, may evolve over time, and trading prices of the Notes may be lower than those of later-issued

Notes that are linked to SOFR as a result. Further, if SOFR does not prove to be widely used in securities

like the Notes, the trading price of such Notes linked to SOFR may be lower than those of Notes linked

to indices that are more widely used. Investors in such Notes may not be able to sell such Notes at all or

may not be able to sell such Notes at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar

investments that have a developed secondary market, and may consequently suffer from increased

pricing volatility and market risk.

26
Furthermore, SOFR Notes have certain fallback arrangements in the event that the SOFR reference rate

is not available on the SOFR Administrator's Website (as defined in Condition 4 (Interest and other

Calculations) in relation to any U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined in Condition 4

(Interest and other Calculations)), as described in Condition 4(n) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event)

and in the risk factor "The occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark

Replacement Date in respect of Notes where the Reference Rate is U.S. Dollar LIBOR or SOFR may

adversely affect the return on and the market value of such Notes".

SOFR, SONIA, the SOFR Index and the SONIA Index may be modified or discontinued by their

administrator, which could adversely affect the value of any SOFR Notes and/or SONIA Notes (as

applicable)

Each of SOFR and the SOFR Index is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York based on

data received from other sources, over which the Issuers have no control. Further the Federal Reserve

Bank of New York, the current administrator of SOFR and the SOFR Index, notes on its publication page

for SOFR and the SOFR Index that it may alter the methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate

revision practices or availability of SOFR and/or the SOFR Index at any time without notice. The Bank

of England (or a successor), as administrator of SONIA, may make methodological or other changes that

could change the value of SONIA, including changes to the method by which SONIA is calculated,

eligibility criteria applicable to the transactions used to calculate SONIA, or timing related to the

publication of SONIA. The administrators have no obligations to consider the interests of the

Noteholders when calculating, adjusting, converting, revising or discontinuing SOFR, SOFR Index,

SONIA or SONIA Index.

There can be no guarantee, particularly given SOFR's and the SOFR Index's relatively recent publication

(3 April 2018 and 2 March 2020, respectively) and SONIA and SONIA Index's relatively recent

publication, that SOFR, the SOFR Index, SONIA and the SONIA Index will not be discontinued or

fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of Noteholders. If the manner

in which SOFR, the SOFR Index, SONIA, and/or the SONIA Index are calculated is changed, such

change may result in a reduction in the amount of interest payable on the Notes and the trading prices of

the Notes. In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as administrator of SOFR and SOFR

Index and the Bank of England, as administrator of SONIA and SONIA Index may withdraw, modify or

amend the published SOFR, SOFR Index, SONIA and/or SONIA Index (as applicable) in its sole

discretion and without notice.

The Rate of Interest for SOFR referenced Notes and the SONIA referenced Notes (as applicable) for any

interest period will not be adjusted for any modifications or amendments to SOFR or the SOFR Index

that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may publish or to SONIA or the SONIA Index that the Bank

of England may publish after the interest rate for that interest period has been determined.

Uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process, including the phasing out of LIBOR after

2021, and proposals to reform EURIBOR, BBSW, BKBM and other benchmark indices may adversely

affect the yield on or value of the Notes

LIBOR, the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") and other benchmark indices (such as the

Australian Bank Bill Swap Rate ("BBSW") and the New Zealand Bank Bill Benchmark Rate ("BKBM"))

are the subject of ongoing national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform.

The implementation of such reforms and consequential changes to benchmark indices may cause such

indices to perform differently than in the past, which could have a material adverse effect on the yield on

or value of any Floating Rate Notes where the interest rate is calculated with reference to such benchmark

or may have other consequences that cannot be predicted.

The EU Benchmarks Regulation and the UK Benchmarks Regulation (together, the "Benchmarks

Regulations") are a key element of ongoing regulatory reform in the EU and the UK respectively.

The EU Benchmarks Regulation applies to the contribution of input data to a benchmark, the

administration of a benchmark, and the use of a benchmark in the EU. Amongst other things, the EU

27
Benchmarks Regulation requires EU benchmark administrators to be authorised or registered as such

and to comply with extensive requirements relating to benchmark administration. It also prohibits certain

uses by EU supervised entities of (a) benchmarks provided by EU administrators which are not authorised

or registered in accordance with the EU Benchmarks Regulation and (b) benchmarks provided by non-

EU administrators where (i) the administrator's regulatory regime has not been determined to be

"equivalent" to that of the EU, (ii) the administrator has not been recognised in accordance with the EU

Benchmarks Regulation, and (iii) the benchmark has not been endorsed in accordance with the EU

Benchmarks Regulation.

The UK Benchmarks Regulation contains substantially the same provisions as the EU Benchmarks

Regulation, but has a narrower geographical scope. The UK Benchmarks Regulation applies to the

contribution of input data to a benchmark, the administration of a benchmark, and the use of a benchmark

in the UK. In-scope entities include UK benchmark administrators and UK supervised entities.

ESMA maintains a public register of EU-approved benchmark administrators and non-EU benchmarks

pursuant to the EU Benchmarks Regulation (the "ESMA Register"). Benchmarks and benchmark

administrators which were approved by the FCA prior to 31 December 2020 were removed from the

ESMA Register on 1 January 2021. From 1 January 2021 onwards, the FCA maintains a separate public

register of FCA-approved benchmark administrators and non-UK benchmarks pursuant to the UK

Benchmarks Regulation (the "UK Register"). The UK Register includes benchmark administrators and

benchmarks which were approved by the FCA prior to 31 December 2020.

The Benchmarks Regulations could have a material impact on any Notes linked to or referencing a

benchmark, in particular, if the methodology or other terms of the benchmark are changed in order to

comply with the requirements of the Benchmarks Regulations. Such changes could, among other things,

have the effect of reducing or increasing the rate or level, or affect the volatility of, the published rate or

level of the benchmark.

On 5 March 2021, the regulator of LIBOR (FCA) announced that all LIBOR settings will either cease to

be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative: (a) immediately after 31 December

2021, in the case of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar settings and all non U.S. dollar LIBOR settings,

and (b) immediately after 30 June 2023, in the case of the remaining U.S. dollar settings. It is impossible

to predict whether and to what extent banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the

administrator of LIBOR, whether LIBOR rates will cease to be published or supported before these dates

or whether any additional reforms to LIBOR may be enacted in the UK or elsewhere. In addition, the

European Money Market Institute announced the discontinuation of EONIA (Euro Overnight Index

Average) after 3 January 2022 and that from 2 October 2019 until its total discontinuation it will be

replaced by the Euro Short-Term Rate ("€STR") plus a spread of 8.5 basis points.

Among other developments, relevant authorities are strongly encouraging the transition away from

Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs), such as LIBOR and EURIBOR, and have identified "risk free rates"

to eventually take the place of such IBORs as primary benchmarks. This includes (i) for sterling LIBOR,

a reformed SONIA, so that SONIA may be established as the primary sterling interest rate benchmark

by the end of 2021, (ii) for EONIA and EURIBOR, €STR as the new euro risk free rate, and (iii) for U.S.

Dollar LIBOR, SOFR, which the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a committee convened by the

Federal Reserve Bank of New York that includes major market participants, proposed eventually be

established as the primary U.S. dollar interest rate benchmark. The risk free rates, including SONIA,

€STR and SOFR, have a different methodology and other important differences from the IBORs they

will eventually replace and have little, if any, historical track record. It is not known whether certain

IBORs will continue long-term or in their current form.

In Australia, the Treasury Laws Amendment (2017 Measures No. 5) Act 2018 of Australia amended the

Corporations Act, to, among other things, establish a licensing regime for administrators of significant

financial benchmarks (including BBSW) and enable the Australian Securities and Investment

Commission ("ASIC") to make rules relating to the generation and administration of such benchmark

indices. On 6 June 2018 ASIC issued the ASIC Financial Benchmark (Administration) Rules 2018 (the

"Administration Rules") and the ASIC Financial Benchmark (Compelled) Rules 2018 (the "Compelled

Rules") pursuant to this power. The Administration Rules require, among other things, a person who is

licensed to administer a regulated benchmark (a benchmark administrator licensee) to: (i) use a method

28
for generating that benchmark that is designed to ensure the quality, integrity, availability, reliability and

credibility of that benchmark; (ii) to act efficiently, honestly and fairly in generating and administering

that benchmark; and (iii) to ensure that arrangements with persons who contribute data to the generation

of benchmarks (contributors) meet certain criteria for these purposes. The Compelled Rules, among other

things, allow ASIC to require a benchmark administrator licensee to continue to generate or administer

a regulated benchmark and to require contributors to continue to provide data required for the generation

of the relevant benchmark. Although the Compelled Rules and a number of the other Australian reforms

have been designed to support the reliability and robustness of BBSW, it is not possible to predict with

certainty whether, and to what extent, BBSW will continue to be supported or the extent to which related

regulations, rules, practices or methodologies may be amended going forward. This may cause BBSW

to perform differently than it has in the past, and may have other consequences which cannot be predicted.

For example, it is possible that these changes could cause BBSW to cease to exist, to become

commercially or practically unworkable, or to become more or less volatile or liquid. Any such changes

could have a material adverse effect on the Notes.

Any of the international, national or other proposals for reform or the general increased regulatory

scrutiny of "benchmarks" could increase the costs and risks of administering or otherwise participating

in the setting of a "benchmark" and complying with any such regulations or requirements. Such factors

may have the effect of discouraging market participants from continuing to administer or contribute to

certain "benchmarks", trigger changes in the rules or methodologies used in certain "benchmarks" or lead

to the disappearance or obsolescence of certain "benchmarks".

Additionally, following the implementation of any such potential reforms, the manner of administration

of benchmarks may change, with the result that they may perform differently than in the past, or the

benchmark could be eliminated entirely, or there could be other consequences that cannot be predicted.

The elimination of the LIBOR benchmark or any other benchmark, or changes in the manner of

administration of any benchmark, could require or result in an adjustment to the interest calculation

provisions of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes (or the Terms and Conditions of the Non PR Notes

as the case may be), or result in adverse consequences to holders of any securities linked to such

benchmark (including but not limited to Floating Rate Notes, Range Accrual Notes and Inverse Floating

Rate Notes whose interest rates are linked to LIBOR or any other such benchmark that is subject to

reform). Furthermore, even prior to the implementation of any changes, uncertainty as to the nature of

alternative reference rates and as to potential changes to such benchmark may adversely affect such

benchmark during the term of the relevant Notes, the return on the relevant Notes and the trading market

for securities based on the same benchmark.

The occurrence of a Benchmark Disruption Event or an ISDA Determination Fallback Event in

respect of Notes may adversely affect the return on and the market value of such Notes

The Terms and Conditions of the Notes (and the Terms and Conditions of the Non PR Notes) provide

for certain fallback arrangements in the event that a published Reference Rate, such as LIBOR (not

including U.S. Dollar LIBOR or SOFR), BBSW or BKBM has ceased to be published on the Relevant

Screen Page as a result of such benchmark ceasing to be calculated or administered or it is determined

that a change in generally accepted market practice has occurred (as further described in the definition

of "Benchmark Disruption Event" in Condition 4(m) (Benchmark Replacement)), including the

possibility that the Reference Rate could be set by reference to a substitute or successor rate that an

Independent Adviser (as defined in Condition 4(m) (Benchmark Replacement)) or (where the Issuer is

unable to appoint an Independent Adviser and if it so elects to make such a determination) the Issuer has

determined (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) in its sole discretion to be

(a) the industry accepted successor rate to the Reference Rate or (b) if no such industry accepted

successor rate exists, the most comparable substitute or successor rate to the relevant Reference Rate

and, where the Independent Adviser (or the Issuer as the case may be) has determined a substitute or

successor rate that the Independent Adviser (or the Issuer as the case may be) may determine (acting in

good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner), any relevant methodology for calculating such

substitute or successor rate, including any adjustment factor it determines is needed to make such

substitute or successor rate comparable to the relevant Reference Rate, in a manner that is consistent with

industry-accepted practices for such substitute or successor rate in calculating a successor rate or an

alternative reference rate. For the risks related to the benchmark fallback for U.S. Dollar LIBOR or SOFR

Notes, see the risk factor entitled "The occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related

29
Benchmark Replacement Date in respect of Notes where the Reference Rate is U.S. Dollar LIBOR or

SOFR may adversely affect the return on and the market value of such Notes". In certain circumstances

the ultimate fallback rate of interest for a particular Interest Period or Interest Accrual Period (as

applicable) may result in the rate of interest determined for the previous Interest Period or Interest

Accrual Period (as applicable) being used. This may result in the effective application of a fixed rate for

a Note linked to such a benchmark based on the rate which was last observed on the Relevant Screen

Page. In addition, due to the uncertainty concerning the availability of a substitute or successor rate, the

relevant fallback provisions may not operate as intended at the relevant time. No consent of the

Noteholders shall be required in connection with effecting any relevant substitute or successor rate or

any other related adjustments.

In addition, where ISDA Determination for Fallback is specified in the applicable Final Terms (including

in respect of Notes where the applicable Reference Rate is U.S. Dollar LIBOR), in the event that the

applicable Reference Rate is not published on the day on which it is required or in the event that the

applicable Reference Rate has ceased to be or will cease to be provided permanently or indefinitely by

the administrator and there is no successor administrator (as further described in the definition of "Index

Cessation Event" in Condition 4(o) (ISDA Determination for Fallback), the Rate of Interest for the

relevant Interest Period or Interest Accrual Period will be determined by reference to the ISDA Fallback

Rate, being the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions with respect to the Reference Rate for

the applicable tenor plus a spread adjustment as more fully described in Condition 4(o) (ISDA

Determination for Fallback).

The use of a substitute or successor rate or the application of the ISDA Fallback Rate may result in

interest payments that are substantially lower than or that do not otherwise correlate over time with the

payments that could have been made on the relevant Floating Rate Notes if the relevant Reference Rate

remained available in its current form. Any of the above changes or any other consequential changes to

LIBOR, EURIBOR or any other benchmark as a result of international, national or other proposals for

reform or other initiatives or investigations, could result in adjustment to the Terms and Conditions of

the relevant Notes or other consequences, depending on the specific provisions of the relevant Notes and

could have a material adverse effect on the yield on and value of and return on any such Notes linked to

a benchmark.

The occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date in

respect of Notes where the Reference Rate is U.S. Dollar LIBOR or SOFR may adversely affect the

return on and the market value of such Notes

The Terms and Conditions of the Notes provide for specific fallback arrangements in respect of Notes

where the Reference Rate specified in the applicable Final Terms is U.S. Dollar LIBOR, SOFR (Index

Determination) or SOFR (Non-Index Determination). If the Issuer or its designee determines that a

Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the

Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark (each as defined in the Conditions),

then a Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark and the Issuer or its designee

will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in accordance with the

provisions of Condition 4(n) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event). There are no limits or parameters

dictating whom the Issuer may appoint as its designee to assist in this determination, and the designee

may be an affiliate of the Issuer, an agent of the Issuer or any other party or person. There is no assurance

that the designee selected by the Issuer to assist in this determination has the competency to make such

a determination or that the designee's determination will be consistent with similar determinations made

on similar securities. The selection of a Benchmark Replacement, and any decisions, determinations or

elections made by the Issuer or its designee in connection with implementing a Benchmark Replacement

with respect to such Notes in accordance with the Conditions, could result in adverse consequences to

the relevant Rate of Interest in respect of such Notes.

The Benchmark Replacements specified in the Conditions include Term SOFR, a forward-looking term

rate which will be based on SOFR. On 29 July 2021, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee

announced its recommendation of SOFR term rates published by the CME Group ("SOFR Term

Rates"). Accordingly, it is expected that Term SOFR (plus the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment)

will be the U.S. Dollar LIBOR Benchmark Replacement as of the Benchmark Replacement Date.

Nonetheless, there is no assurance that such form of Term SOFR, or any other form, will be available as

30
of the Benchmark Replacement Date. For example, it is possible, though not expected, that the

Alternative Reference Rates Committee could revise or withdraw its recommendation regarding SOFR

Term Rates before the Benchmark Replacement Date and, in the latter case, that neither the Alternative

Reference Rates Committee nor another Relevant Governmental Body may have selected or

recommended another forward-looking term rate based on SOFR. In that case, the next-available

Benchmark Replacement under the benchmark transition provisions will be used to determine the amount

of interest payable on such Notes for the next applicable interest period and all subsequent interest

periods.

Pursuant to the Conditions, if a particular Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement

Adjustment cannot be determined, then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark

Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected or

formulated by (i) the Relevant Governmental Body (such as the Alternative Reference Rates Committee

(the "ARRC")), (ii) ISDA or (iii) in certain circumstances, the Issuer or its designee. In addition, the

provisions of the Conditions expressly authorise the Issuer or its designee to make Benchmark

Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to, among other things, the determination of Interest

Periods and the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest.

No consent of the Noteholders shall be required in connection with determining or effecting any

Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Benchmark Replacement

Conforming Changes. The application of a Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement

Adjustment and Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, any decisions, determinations or

elections made by the Issuer or its designee in connection with Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark

Replacement Adjustment and Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, as well as the

implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, could result in adverse consequences

to the amount of interest paid on the Notes which could adversely affect the return on, value of and

market for the Notes. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of any Benchmark

Replacement will be similar to the then-current U.S. Dollar LIBOR, SOFR (Index Determination) or

SOFR (Non-Index Determination) rate that it is replacing, or that any Benchmark Replacement will

produce the economic equivalent of the then-current U.S. Dollar LIBOR, SOFR (Index Determination)

or SOFR (Non-Index Determination) rate that it is replacing. Further, due to uncertainty concerning the

availability of certain fallback Benchmark Replacements, such as Term SOFR and Compounded SOFR,

the relevant fallback provision may not operate as intended.

Notes issued at a substantial discount or premium

The market values of securities issued at a substantial discount or premium from their principal amount

(Zero Coupon Notes, as an example) tend to fluctuate more in relation to changes in interest rates than

do prices for conventional interest-bearing securities. Generally, the longer the remaining term of the

securities, the greater the price volatility as compared to conventional interest-bearing securities with

comparable maturities. Accordingly, investors in any Notes issued at a discount or premium are exposed

to interest rate volatility and may suffer a greater loss on their investment compared to an investor in

other interest-bearing debt securities.

Risks relating to Notes denominated in Renminbi ("CNY Notes")

Renminbi is not freely convertible and there are significant restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi

into and out of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") which may adversely affect the liquidity

of CNY Notes

Renminbi is not freely convertible at present. The government of the PRC (the "PRC Government")

continues to regulate conversion between Renminbi and foreign currencies, including the Hong Kong

dollar.

However, there has been significant reduction in control by the PRC Government in recent years,

particularly over trade transactions involving import and export of goods and services as well as other

frequent routine foreign exchange transactions. These transactions are known as current account items.

31
Subject to the prior receipt of all necessary governmental approvals, the relevant Issuer may remit the

net proceeds from the offering of CNY Notes into the PRC. There is no assurance that such approvals

will be granted and, if granted, will not be revoked or amended in the future.

Remittance of Renminbi into and out of the PRC for the settlement of capital account items such as

capital contributions, debt financing and securities investment, is generally only permitted upon

obtaining specific approvals from, or completing specific registrations or filings with, the relevant

authorities on a case-by-case basis and is subject to a strict monitoring system. Regulations in the PRC

on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of the PRC for settlement of capital account items are being

adjusted from time to time to match the policies of the PRC Government.

In the event that the relevant Issuer decides to remit some or all of the proceeds into the PRC in Renminbi,

its ability to do so will be subject to obtaining all necessary approvals from and registration with the

relevant PRC government authorities. However, there is no assurance that the necessary approvals from

and registration with the relevant PRC government authorities will be obtained at all or, if obtained, they

will not be revoked or amended in the future.

Although Renminbi has been added to the Special Drawing Rights basket created by the International

Monetary Fund on 1 October 2016 and the People's Bank of China ("PBoC") has implemented various

policies improving accessibility to Renminbi to settle cross-border transactions in the past, there is no

assurance that the PRC Government will liberalise control over cross-border remittance of Renminbi in

the future, that the schemes for Renminbi cross-border utilisation will not be discontinued or that new

regulations in the PRC will not be promulgated in the future which have the effect of restricting or

eliminating the remittance of Renminbi into or out of the PRC. Despite the Renminbi internationalisation

pilot programme and efforts in recent years to internationalise the currency, there can be no assurance

that the PRC Government will not impose interim or long-term restrictions on the cross-border remittance

of Renminbi. In the event that funds cannot be repatriated outside the PRC in Renminbi, this may affect

the overall availability of Renminbi outside of the PRC and the ability of the Issuer to source Renminbi

to finance its obligations under CNY Notes.

There is only limited availability of Renminbi outside the PRC, which may affect the liquidity of the

CNY Notes and the Issuer's ability to source Renminbi outside the PRC to service the CNY Notes

As a result of the restrictions by the PRC Government on cross-border Renminbi fund flows, the

availability of Renminbi outside the PRC is limited.

Although it is expected that the offshore Renminbi market will continue to grow in depth and size, its

growth is subject to many constraints as a result of PRC laws and regulations on foreign exchange. There

is no assurance that new PRC regulations will not be promulgated or current regulations (including but

not limited to the settlement arrangements between the PBoC and certain financial institutions in respect

of limited clearing or Renminbi outside of the PRC) will not be terminated or amended in the future,

each of which will have the effect of restricting availability of Renminbi outside the PRC. The limited

availability of Renminbi outside the PRC may affect the liquidity of the CNY Notes. To the extent the

relevant Issuer is required to source Renminbi in the offshore market to service CNY Notes, there is no

assurance that the Issuer will be able to source such Renminbi on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Investment in CNY Notes is subject to exchange rate risks

The relevant Issuer will make all payments of interest and principal with respect to CNY Notes in

Renminbi unless otherwise specified. The value of Renminbi against other foreign currencies fluctuates

from time to time and is affected by changes in the PRC and international political and economic

conditions as well as many other factors. The PBoC has in recent years implemented changes to the way

it calculates the Renminbi's daily mid-point against the U.S. dollar to take into account market-maker

quotes. This change, and others that may be implemented, may increase the volatility in the value of the

Renminbi against foreign currencies. As a result, the value of these Renminbi payments may vary with

the changes in the prevailing exchange rates in the marketplace. If the value of Renminbi depreciates

against another foreign currency, the value of the investment made by a holder of CNY Notes in that

foreign currency will decline.

Investment in CNY Notes is subject to currency risk

32
If the Issuer is not able, or it is impracticable for it, to satisfy its obligation to pay interest and principal

on CNY Notes as a result of Inconvertibility, Non transferability or Illiquidity (each, as defined in the

Conditions), the relevant Issuer shall be entitled, on giving not less than five or more than 30 calendar

days' irrevocable notice to the investors prior to the due date for payment, to settle any such payment in

U.S. dollars on the due date at the U.S. Dollar Equivalent (as defined in the Conditions) of any such

interest or principal, as the case may be.

Payments with respect to CNY Notes may be made only in the manner designated in CNY Notes

All payments to investors in respect of CNY Notes will be made solely (i) for so long as CNY Notes are

represented by a Temporary Global Note or a Permanent Global Note held with the common depositary

for Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear or any alternative clearing system by transfer to a Renminbi

bank account maintained in Hong Kong or (ii) for so long as any CNY Notes are in definitive form, by

transfer to a Renminbi bank account maintained in Hong Kong in accordance with prevailing rules and

regulations. The relevant Issuer cannot be required to make payment by any other means (including in

any other currency or by transfer to a bank account in the PRC).

Gains on the transfer of the Notes may become subject to income taxes under PRC tax laws

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and the relevant implementing rules, as amended from time

to time, any gain realised on the transfer of CNY Notes by non-PRC resident enterprise holders may be

subject to PRC enterprise income tax ("EIT") if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources

within the PRC. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law levies EIT at the rate of 20 per cent. of the PRC-

sourced gains derived by such non-PRC resident enterprise holder from the transfer of CNY Notes but

its implementation rules have reduced the EIT rate to 10 per cent.

However, uncertainty remains as to whether the gain realised from the transfer of CNY Notes by non-

PRC resident enterprise holders would be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and

thus become subject to EIT. This will depend on how the PRC tax authorities interpret, apply or enforce

the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and the relevant implementing rules. According to the arrangement

between the PRC and Hong Kong, for avoidance of double taxation, holders who are residents of Hong

Kong, including enterprise holders and individual holders, will not be subject to EIT on capital gains

derived from a sale or exchange of CNY Notes.

Therefore, if non-PRC resident enterprise holders are required to pay PRC income tax on gains derived

from the transfer of CNY Notes, unless there is an applicable tax treaty between PRC and the jurisdiction

in which such non-PRC resident enterprise of CNY Notes reside that reduces or exempts the relevant

EIT, the value of their investment in CNY Notes may be materially and adversely affected.

Risks related toNZ Subordinated Notes issued under the Programme

An investor holding NZ Subordinated Notes may lose some or all of its investment should ANZ New

Zealand become insolvent

Although NZ Subordinated Notes may pay a higher rate of interest than comparable Notes which are not

subordinated, there is a significant risk that an investor holding NZ Subordinated Notes may lose some

or all of their investment should ANZ New Zealand become insolvent.

The terms of the Notes do not limit the amount of the liabilities ranking senior to any NZ Subordinated

Notes which may be incurred or assumed by ANZ New Zealand from time to time, whether before or

after the date of issue of the relevant NZ Subordinated Notes.

If ANZ New Zealand is put into liquidation, it will be required to pay the holders of senior debt and meet

its obligations to all its other unsubordinated creditors (including unsecured creditors) in full before it

can make any payments on any NZ Subordinated Notes. If this occurs, ANZ New Zealand may not have

enough assets remaining after these payments to pay any or all amounts due under the relevant NZ

Subordinated Notes.

In addition, all NZ Subordinated Notes will provide that, prior to the stated maturity of such NZ

Subordinated Notes or the commencement of the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, ANZ New Zealand

33
is only permitted to make payments on such NZ Subordinated Notes if it is solvent at the time of such

payment and if it would be solvent immediately after any such payment. Any failure to pay as a result of

this solvency condition not being satisfied will not constitute an Event of Default under the Conditions

in respect of such NZ Subordinated Notes.

An investor holding NZ Subordinated Notes has limited remedies available for non-payment of

amounts owing and for other breaches of ANZ New Zealand's obligations

If ANZ New Zealand fails to pay principal on the NZ Subordinated Notes within 7 days of its due date,

or fails to pay interest on the NZ Subordinated Notes within 15 days of its due date, an NZ Subordinated

Noteholder may commence proceedings to recover the amount owing, provided that ANZ New Zealand

will not, by virtue of the institution of any such proceedings (other than any liquidation proceedings), be

obliged to pay any principal or interest or any other payments in respect of the NZ Subordinated Notes:

(a) sooner than such amounts would otherwise be payable and not until after the claims of Senior

Creditors (as defined in Condition 3(b) (Status and Guarantee – NZ Subordinated Notes – ANZ

New Zealand) of ANZ New Zealand have been paid; and

(b) if, prior to the stated maturity of the NZ Subordinated Notes or the commencement of the

liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, ANZ New Zealand is not solvent at the time of, or would not

be solvent immediately after, the payment of such amount.

In addition to taking such actions upon any such failure to pay principal or interest, an NZ Subordinated

Noteholder may commence a proceeding in New Zealand (but not anywhere else) to obtain an order for

specific performance of any other obligation in respect of NZ Subordinated Notes or for the liquidation

of ANZ New Zealand. The making of an order for a liquidation is in the discretion of the court. However,

in accordance with Condition 3(b) (Status and Guarantee – NZ Subordinated Notes – ANZ New Zealand),

until all Senior Creditors have been paid in full, an NZ Subordinated Noteholder must not claim in the

liquidation of ANZ New Zealand 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.

No remedy will be available to an NZ Subordinated Noteholder where ANZ New Zealand's failure to

pay principal or interest or make any other payment in respect of the NZ Subordinated Notes is due to

ANZ New Zealand failing to satisfy the solvency condition in Condition 4(v). Any amount not paid due

to ANZ New Zealand's failure to satisfy the solvency condition in Condition 4(v) accumulates and

remains a debt owing to the NZ Subordinated Noteholder by ANZ New Zealand until it is paid and will

be due and payable on the first Business Day on which the solvency condition in Condition 4(v) is

satisfied (whether or not such date is otherwise a payment date).

Prior to the commencement of the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, no other remedy will be available

to an NZ Subordinated Noteholder against ANZ New Zealand, whether for the recovery of amounts

owing in respect of, or for a breach by ANZ New Zealand of its obligations under or in respect of, the

NZ Subordinated Notes.

An investor holding NZ Subordinated Notes has limited rights to accelerate principal under theNZ

Subordinated Notes

Payment of the principal amount of the NZ Subordinated Notes may be accelerated only in the event of

a liquidation of ANZ New Zealand. NZ Subordinated Noteholders will not have the right to accelerate

the payment of principal of the NZ Subordinated Notes if ANZ New Zealand fails to pay principal or

interest when due on those NZ Subordinated Notes or if ANZ New Zealand fails in the performance of

any of its other obligations under those NZ Subordinated Notes. The rights of acceleration under the NZ

Subordinated Notes are more limited than those available pursuant to the terms of ANZ New Zealand's

other unsubordinated debt securities.

NZ Subordinated Notes may be subject to optional redemption by ANZ New Zealand which may limit

their market value

34
ANZ New Zealand may redeem in whole (but not in part) NZ Subordinated Notes prior to their specified

maturity at the Early Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption

(i) upon the occurrence of an NZ Subordinated Note Tax Event (subject to and in accordance with

condition 5(c) (Redemption for Taxation Reasons Applicable to NZ Subordinated Notes)); (ii) upon the

occurrence of an NZ Subordinated Note Regulatory Event (subject to and in accordance with Condition

5(d) (Redemption of NZ Subordinated Notes for Regulatory Reasons)); or (iii) on any Optional

Redemption Date specified in the applicable Final Terms which falls on or after the fifth anniversary of

the date on which such NZ Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to Condition 5(f) (Redemption at

the Option of the Issuer and Exercise of Issuer's Options), in each case, subject to prior approval of the

RBNZ in accordance with Condition 5(j) (NZ Subordinated Notes - Approval of RBNZ).

An optional redemption feature is likely to limit the market value of the NZ Subordinated Notes. During

any period when ANZ New Zealand may elect to redeem NZ Subordinated Notes, the market value of

those NZ Subordinated Notes generally will not rise substantially above the price at which they can be

redeemed. This also may be true prior to any redemption period.

Risks related to the development of a market for Notes which may be issued under the Programme

There is no prior or active trading market for the Notes and such trading market may not develop

Each Tranche of Notes will be new securities which may not be widely distributed and for which there

is currently no active trading market (unless, in the case of any particular Tranche of Notes, such Tranche

is to be consolidated with and form a single series with a Tranche of Notes which is already issued). If

the Notes are traded after their initial issuance, 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 the Issuer. Accordingly, the Issuer cannot predict, or give any assurance as

to, whether an active or liquid trading market for any particular Tranche of Notes will develop or be

sustained. In addition to the creditworthiness, many factors affect the trading market for, and trading

value of, the Notes. These factors may include among other things:

the method of calculating the principal, premium and interest in respect of the Notes;

the time remaining to the stated maturity of the Notes;

the outstanding amount of the Notes;

any redemption features of the Notes;

the financial condition and results of the relevant Issuer's operations;

investor confidence and market liquidity; and

the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.

There may be no, or only a limited number of, buyers when an investor decides to sell the Notes. This

may affect the price an investor receives for such Notes or the ability to sell such Notes at all. In addition,

Notes that are designed for specific investment objectives or strategies often experience a more limited

trading market and more price volatility than those not so designed.

The Notes may be de-listed, which may materially affect an investor's ability to resell

Any Notes that are listed on the London Stock Exchange or any other listing authority, stock exchange

or quotation system may be de-listed. If any Notes are de-listed, the relevant Issuer is obliged to

endeavour promptly to obtain an alternative listing. Although no assurance is made as to the liquidity of

the Notes as a result of listing on the London Stock Exchange or any other listing authority, stock

exchange or quotation system, de-listing the Notes may have a material adverse effect on a Noteholder's

ability to resell the Notes in the secondary market.

Legal and other Risks

35
Because the Global Notes will be held by or on behalf of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or

an Alternative Clearing System, investors will have to rely on their procedures for transfer, payment

and communication with the relevant Issuer and/or the Guarantor

Notes issued under the Programme (other than VPS Notes) may be represented by one or more Global

Notes (namely single notes representing all, or the relevant part, of the entire issue). Such Global Notes

will be deposited with a common depositary for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream

Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or a clearing system other than Euroclear or

Clearstream, Luxembourg (an "Alternative Clearing System", which expression shall include the

Central Moneymarkets Unit Service (or any lawful successor thereto (the "CMU" or "CMU Service")

being the book-entry clearing system operated by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (the "HKMA"),

the government authority in Hong Kong with responsibility for maintaining currency and banking

stability whenever the context permits). Apart from the circumstances described in the relevant Global

Note, investors will not be entitled to Notes in definitive form (i.e. physical certificates of ownership).

Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any relevant Alternative Clearing System will maintain

records of the beneficial interests in the Global Notes. While the Notes are represented by one or more

Global Notes, investors will be able to trade their beneficial interests only through Euroclear,

Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any relevant Alternative Clearing System.

While the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if

applicable, will discharge its payment obligations under the Notes by making payments to the common

depositary for Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any relevant Alternative Clearing System for

distribution to their relevant account holders. A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely

on the procedures of Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any relevant Alternative Clearing

System to receive payments under the relevant Notes. The Issuers and the Guarantor have no

responsibility or liability for the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, beneficial interests

in the Global Notes.

So long as any Note is represented by a Global Note held through the CMU Service, each person for

whose account interest in the Global Note is credited as being held in the CMU, as notified by the CMU

Service to the CMU lodging agent appointed for such purpose in a relevant CMU instrument position

report (which shows the aggregate nominal value of the instrument specified therein held by members of

the CMU Service in CMU securities accounts), will be the only person entitled to receive payments on

the Notes represented by the Global Note. Such person(s) must look solely to the CMU paying agent

appointed for such purpose (the "CMU Paying Agent") for his share of each payment made by the

relevant Issuer in respect of the Global Note, and in relation to all other rights arising under the Global

Note, subject to and in accordance with the respective rules and procedures of the CMU Service. The

relevant Issuer and the Guarantor, if applicable, will be discharged by payment to the CMU Paying

Agent, and such person(s) shall have no claim directly against the relevant Issuer and the Guarantor in

respect of payments due on the Notes for so long as the Notes are represented by the Global Note in

respect of each amount so paid. Investors are exposed to the creditworthiness of the CMU Paying Agent

and may suffer a loss in their investment if the CMU Paying Agent delays in making or fails to make the

relevant payment to the aforesaid person(s) upon receiving the relevant payment from the Issuer.

Holders of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not have a direct right to vote in respect of the

relevant Notes. Instead, such holders will be permitted to act only to the extent that they are enabled by

Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or any relevant Alternative Clearing System to appoint

appropriate proxies. Similarly, holders of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not have a direct

right under the Global Notes to take enforcement action against the relevant Issuer, or the Guarantor, if

applicable, in the event of a default under the relevant Notes but will have to rely upon their rights under

the Deed of Covenant.

Similarly, VPS Notes will be issued in uncertificated and dematerialised book-entry form registered in

the VPS. The VPS will maintain records of the ownership of the VPS Notes. VPS Notes will not be

evidenced by any physical note or document of title other than statements of account made by the VPS.

Ownership of VPS Notes will be recorded and transfer effected only through the book-entry system and

register maintained by the VPS.

36
The relevant Issuer will discharge its payment obligations under VPS Notes by making payments through

the VPS and holders of VPS Notes must therefore rely on the procedures of the VPS to receive payments

under VPS Notes. The relevant Issuer has no responsibility or liability for the records relating to, or

payments made in respect of, beneficial interests in VPS Notes. Investors with accounts in Euroclear and

Clearstream, Luxembourg may hold VPS Notes in their accounts with such clearing systems and the

relevant clearing system will be shown in the records of the VPS as the holder of the relevant amount of

VPS Notes.

Foreign account tax compliance (FATCA) withholding may apply to payments on the Notes, including

as a result of the failure of a Noteholder or a Noteholder's bank or broker to provide information to

tax authorities or withholding agents

Withholding as high as 30 per cent. may be imposed on payments made with respect to the Notes, but

such withholding will not apply to payments made before the date that is two years after the date on

which final regulations defining the term "foreign passthru payment" are enacted, and, other than with

respect to Subordinated Notes and NZ Subordinated Notes, only with respect to the Notes, issued or

modified at least six months after the date on which final regulations implementing the rules for

calculating the amount of such withholding tax are published in final form (subject to changes in US

Law affecting timing, applicability and rates for Foreign Passthru Payments). The withholding, when it

applies, may be imposed at any point in a series of payments unless the relevant payee (including a bank,

broker or individual) at each point complies with information reporting, certification and related

requirements. Accordingly, a Noteholder that holds Notes through a bank or broker could be subject to

withholding if, for example, its bank or broker is subject to withholding because the bank or broker fails

to comply with these requirements even though the holder itself might not otherwise have been subject

to withholding. If a payment on the Notes is subject to this withholding, no additional amounts will be

paid, and a Noteholder will receive less than the expected amount of the payment.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers and their banks or brokers regarding the possibility

of this withholding. For more information, see "Taxation—FATCA Withholding"below.

Notes subject to prior claims

Claims against ANZBGL under Australian law are subject to mandatory priority provisions including

those applying to ADIs (of which ANZBGL is one). These priority provisions include section 13A of the

Banking Act, which provides that, in the event that ANZBGL becomes unable to meet its obligations or

suspends payment, its assets in Australia are to be available to meet specified liabilities in Australia

(including "protected accounts" which include most deposit liabilities) in priority to all other liabilities

of ANZBGL (including the Notes). These liabilities will be substantial and are not limited by the

Conditions. Further, certain assets, such as the assets of ANZBGL in a cover pool for covered bonds

issued by ANZBGL, are excluded from constituting assets in Australia for the purposes of section 13A

of the Banking Act, and these assets are subject to the prior claims of the covered bond holders and

certain other secured creditors in respect of the covered bonds. The assets which are subject to such prior

claims may also be substantial. In addition, future changes to applicable law may extend the debt required

to be preferred by law or the assets to be excluded.

Under the €8 billion ANZ New Zealand covered bond programme, investors have full recourse to

ANZNIL or ANZ New Zealand as issuer and ANZ New Zealand as guarantor and also to a cover pool

of assets held by the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust. The assets of the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust are

made up of certain housing loans and related securities originated by ANZ New Zealand and which are

security for the guarantee by ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust Limited as trustee of the ANZNZ Covered

Bond Trust of covered bonds issued by ANZ New Zealand or ANZNIL, from time to time.

As at 30 September 2021, the rights to cash flows associated with housing loans and related securities

with a carrying value of NZ$11,406 million or 6.2 per cent. of the ANZ New Zealand Group's total assets

were held in the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust. The assets of the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust do not

qualify for derecognition as ANZ New Zealand retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of the

transferred assets. Therefore, the covered bond programme and the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust do not

change ANZ New Zealand's financial statements. The covered bonds are guaranteed by ANZNZ Covered

Bond Trust Limited as trustee of the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust under the terms of the covered bond

37
programme. The assets of the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust are not available to creditors of ANZ New

Zealand other than covered bond holders, including holders of Notes issued by ANZNIL or ANZ New

Zealand, although ANZ New Zealand (or its liquidator or statutory manager) may have a claim against

the residual assets of the ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust (if any) after all prior ranking creditors of the

ANZNZ Covered Bond Trust have been satisfied.

Investors who hold less than the minimum Specified Denomination may be unable to sell their Notes

and may be adversely affected if definitive Notes are subsequently required to be issued

In relation to any issue of Notes which have denominations consisting of a minimum Specified

Denomination plus one or more higher integral multiples of another smaller amount, it is possible that

such Notes may be traded in amounts in excess of the minimum Specified Denomination that are not

integral multiples of such minimum Specified Denomination. In such a case a holder who, as a result of

trading such amounts, holds an amount which is less than the minimum Specified Denomination in its

account with the relevant clearing system would not be able to sell the remainder of such holding without

first purchasing a principal amount of Notes at or in excess of the minimum Specified Denomination

such that its holding amounts to a Specified Denomination. Further, a holder who, as a result of trading

such amounts, holds an amount which is less than the minimum Specified Denomination in its account

with the relevant clearing system at the relevant time may not receive a definitive Note in respect of such

holding (should definitive Notes be printed) and would need to purchase a principal amount of Notes at

or in excess of the minimum Specified Denomination such that its holding amounts to a Specified

Denomination.

If such Notes in definitive form are issued, holders should be aware that definitive Notes which have a

denomination that is not an integral multiple of the minimum Specified Denomination may be illiquid

and difficult to trade.

Risks relating to the Issuers' and the Guarantor's businesses

Introduction

The 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").

The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that the Group may face. Additional

risks and uncertainties that the Group is unaware of, or that the Group currently deems to be immaterial,

may also become important factors that affect it.

If any of the specified or unspecified risks actually occur, the Group's Position may be materially and

adversely affected, with the result that the trading price of the Group's equity or debt securities could

decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

References in this section to the "Group" are to ANZBGL and its subsidiaries or ANZ New Zealand and

its subsidiaries as the context requires. All references in this section to "securities" include the Notes.

Risks related to the Issuer's and the Guarantor's business activities and industry

The COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreaks of other communicable diseases or pandemics may

materially and adversely affect the Group's Position

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

38
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 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 variant'. 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 Group's products and services and resulted in a deterioration of the quality of the Group's

credit portfolio. Additionally, many of the Group's borrowers have been and continue to be negatively

impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the 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 ANZBGL 2021 Audited Financial

Statements, Notes 1 and 12 of the ANZ New Zealand 2021 Audited Financial Statements and section B3

of the ANZ New Zealand 2021 Disclosure Statement (which are incorporated by reference into this Base

Prospectus).

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 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

Group's commercial property development financing activities.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 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 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 ANZBGL 2021 Audited

Financial Statements. These accommodations and measures, and any future accommodations and

measures while supporting the Group's customers, may in turn have a negative impact on the Group's

Position, may negatively impact the Group's net interest margin, and may result in the 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

Group's customer service team. These requests may grow if there are further outbreaks and the Group is

continuing to address additional resourcing and process changes to enable it to support its customers.

While 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

39
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 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.

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 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

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. While this level of market volatility has not been repeated since, there is still

uncertainty surrounding any future impact on financial markets. The 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 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 Group's assets

in future periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also affected, and can be expected to continue to impact, the 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 Group's

employees or contractors or suspension of the 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 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 Group's systems and

processes (or through its impact on the 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 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 Group's COVID-19 related support measures are wound back, individual

customers still enduring hardship may suffer detriment if the 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 "Changes in political and general

40
business and economic conditions, including disruption in regional or global credit and capital markets,

may adversely affect the Group's Position".

The ongoing ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic remain highly uncertain and, as of the date of

this Base 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 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 Group's operations.

Should any of these occur, the 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 Group. As an example, in Australia, APRA revised its guidance for ADIs on capital

management (including capital distributions) and, in New Zealand, the 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 "Risk Factors" section.

Changes in political and general business and economic conditions, including disruption in regional

or global credit and capital markets, may adversely affect the Group's Position

The 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 Group or its customers or

counterparties operate, trade or raise funding including, without limitation, Australia, New Zealand, the

Asia Pacific region, the UK, Europe and the United States (the "Relevant Jurisdictions").

The political, economic and business conditions that prevail in the 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 UK ceasing to be a

member of the European Union (the "EU") and the EEA 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 (the

"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 Australian and New Zealand 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 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

41
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 Group or its

customers or counterparties operate, or result in the introduction of new and/or divergent regulatory

frameworks that the Group will be required to adhere to.

Should economic conditions in markets in which the 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 Group's customers

and the security the Group holds against loans and other credit exposures, which may impact the 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 Group's financial performance may also be adversely affected if the 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 Group or its customers or counterparties operate. Should any of

these occur, the Group's Position could be materially adversely affected.

Competition in the markets in which the Group operates may adversely affect the Group's Position

The markets in which the Group operates are highly competitive and could become more competitive in

the future. Competition is expected to increase, including from non-Australian financial service providers

who continue to expand in Australia, and from new non-bank entrants or smaller providers in those

markets.

Examples of factors that may affect competition and negatively impact the Group's Position include:

entities that the Group competes with, including those outside of Australia and New Zealand,

could be subject to lower levels of regulation and regulatory activity. This could allow them

to offer more competitive products and services, because those lower levels of regulation

may give them a lower cost base and/or the ability to attract employees that the Group would

otherwise seek to employ;

digital technologies and business models are changing customer behaviour and the

competitive environment and emerging competitors are increasingly utilising new

technologies and seeking to disrupt existing business models in the financial services sector;

existing companies from outside of the traditional financial services sector may seek to

directly compete with the Group by offering products and services traditionally provided by

banks, including by obtaining banking licenses and/or by partnering with existing providers;

consumers and businesses may choose to transact using, or to invest in, new forms of

currency (such as cryptocurrencies) in relation to which the Group may choose not, or may

not competitively be able, to provide financial services; and

Open Banking (as described below) may lead to increased competition (see the risk factor

entitled "Regulatory changes or a failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies may

adversely affect the Group's Position").

The impact on the Group of an increase in competitive market conditions or a technological change that

puts the Group's business platforms at a competitive disadvantage, especially in the Group's main markets

and products, could lead to a material reduction in the Group's market share, customers and margins and

adversely affect the Group's Position.

42
Increased competition for deposits may increase the Group's cost of funding. If the Group is not able to

successfully compete for deposits, the Group would be forced to rely more heavily on other, less stable

or more expensive forms of funding, or to reduce lending. This may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Economic disruptions could have a significant impact on competition and profitability in the financial

services sector over the medium term due to funding cost and provision increases, further declines in or

persistence of structurally low interest rates, insufficient liquidity, implementation of business continuity

plans, changes to business strategies and temporary regulatory safe harbours. The low-growth

environment will likely lead to heightened competitive intensity and margin compression.

Changes in the real estate markets in Australia, New Zealand or other markets where the Group does

business may adversely affect the Group's Position

Residential and commercial property lending, together with real estate development and investment

property finance, constitute important businesses of the Group. Major sub-segments within the 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 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 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 (see the risk factor entitled "The COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreaks of other

communicable diseases or pandemics may materially and adversely affect the Group's Position"),

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 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.

Sovereign risk events may destabilise global financial markets and may adversely affect the Group's

Position

Sovereign risk is the risk that governments will default on their debt obligations, be unable to refinance

their debts as and when they fall due or nationalise parts of their economy. Sovereign defaults may

adversely impact the Group directly, through adversely impacting the value of the Group's assets, or

indirectly through destabilising global financial markets, thereby adversely impacting the Group's

Position.

43
Sovereign risk exists in many economies, including the United States, the UK, China, Europe, Australia

and New Zealand. Should one sovereign default, there could be a cascading effect to other markets and

countries, the consequences of which, while difficult to predict, may be similar to or worse than those

experienced during the global financial crisis and subsequent sovereign debt crises.

Market risk events may adversely affect the Group's Position

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates,

credit spreads, or from fluctuations in bond, commodity or equity prices. For purposes of financial risk

management, the Group differentiates between traded and non-traded market risks. Traded market risks

principally arise from the Group's trading operations in interest rates, foreign exchange, commodities

and securities. The non-traded market risk is predominantly interest rate risk in the banking book. Other

non-traded market risks include transactional and structural foreign exchange risk arising from capital

investments in offshore operations and non-traded equity risk. Losses arising from the occurrence of such

market risk events may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Changes in exchange rates may adversely affect the Group's Position

As the Group conducts business in several different currencies, its businesses may be affected by

movements in currency exchange rates. Additionally, as the Group's annual and interim reports are

prepared and stated in Australian dollars, any appreciation in the Australian dollar against other

currencies in which the Group earns revenues (particularly the New Zealand dollar and the U.S. dollar)

may adversely affect the Group's reported earnings.

While the Group has put in place hedges to partially mitigate the impact of currency changes, there can

be no assurance that the Group's hedges will be sufficient or effective, and any appreciation in the

Australian dollar against other currencies in which the Group earns its revenue may have an adverse

impact upon the Group's Position.

The planned discontinuation of LIBOR and developments affecting other benchmark rates could have

adverse consequences on the Group's securities issuances and its capital markets and investment

activities

As a result of longstanding global regulatory initiatives, LIBOR is being discontinued as a floating rate

benchmark. LIBOR has been the principal floating rate benchmark in the financial markets, and its

planned discontinuation has affected and will continue to affect the financial markets generally and may

also affect the Group's operations, finances and investments specifically, as described below.

On 5 March 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration Limitation (the "IBA"), the administrator of LIBOR,

and its regulator, the FCA, separately announced the dates on which panel bank submissions for all

LIBOR settings will either permanently cease to be published or will cease to be representative of the

underlying market and economic reality the rates are intended to measure (with such representativeness

not being restored). These dates are (a) 31 December 2021, for all sterling, euro, Swiss franc and Japanese

yen settings and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. dollar settings; and (b) 30 June 2023, for the remaining

U.S. dollar settings. Subsequently, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (the "ARRC"), the

working group convened by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York

to identify risk-free alternatives to U.S. dollar LIBOR, confirmed the FCA's announcements constituted

a "Benchmark Transition Event" under ARRC-recommended fallback language with respect to all U.S.

dollar LIBOR settings. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") also confirmed

the FCA announcement was an 'Index Cessation Event' under the fallbacks added to derivatives

transactions by Supplement 70 to the 2006 ISDA Definitions.

While significant effort has been made to implement replacement alternative benchmark rates, there are

loans, mortgages, securities, derivatives and other financial instruments which remain linked to the

LIBOR benchmark. Any failure to successfully implement replacement benchmark rates and execute

effective transitional arrangements to address LIBOR discontinuation could result in disruption in the

financial markets, suppress capital markets activities and give rise to litigation claims. In addition,

financial markets, particularly the trading market for LIBOR-based obligations, may in general be

adversely affected by the planned discontinuation of LIBOR, the alternative reference rates that will be

used when LIBOR is discontinued and other reforms related to LIBOR. There is no assurance that any

44
alternative reference rate will be the economic equivalent of the LIBOR setting it is intended to replace.

Any or all of these matters could have a negative impact on the Group's Position and on the value of

LIBOR-linked securities or other instruments which are issued, funded or held by the Group.

The Group is party to loans, securities, derivatives and other financial instruments that currently use

LIBOR as a benchmark rate or are otherwise linked to LIBOR. In some cases, those instruments include

terms providing for the relevant interest or payment calculations to be made by reference to an alternative

benchmark rate or on some other basis in the event of LIBOR's discontinuation; and such instruments

should transition away from LIBOR in accordance with those terms. In cases where an instrument's terms

do not include robust fallback provisions or the fallback provisions are considered to be inadequate, the

instrument, may need to be amended to add or amend such provisions in line with emerging market

standards, or other arrangements may have to be made with regard to such instrument when LIBOR is

discontinued. Progress is being made by the Group on the amendment of these types of instruments. In

some cases, it may not be possible to amend the relevant terms of LIBOR-linked instruments. The

potential legal, regulatory and other consequences if this occurs are uncertain. In any event,

implementation of existing fallback provisions or changes made on any other basis may, for example,

alter the amounts payable under the relevant instrument, its value and its liquidity, and may result in a

mismatch between such instrument and any related contract (such as a hedging agreement). In addition,

the process of taking the necessary action with regard to this large volume of contracts prior to the end

of calendar year 2021 (for sterling, euro, Swiss franc and Japanese yen settings, or the 1-week or 2-month

U.S. dollar settings) and prior to the end of June 2023 (for remaining U.S. dollar settings) involves

operational risks for the Group.

Other benchmark rates have been, or may be, reformed (for example, EURIBOR). Any such reforms

may cause the relevant benchmarks to perform differently than in the past, or the reforms made to the

rate may have other consequences which cannot be fully anticipated.

If a benchmark is discontinued, there may or may not be a suitable, similar alternative reference rate and

there may be adverse consequences in transitioning to an alternative rate. Any of these developments,

and any future initiatives with regard to the regulation of benchmarks, could result in adverse

consequences to the return on, value of and market for loans, mortgages, securities, derivatives and other

financial instruments whose returns are linked to any such benchmark, including those issued, funded or

held by the Group; and could result in widespread dislocation in the financial markets, engender volatility

in the pricing of securities, derivatives and other instruments, and suppress capital markets activities, all

of which could have adverse effects on the Group's Position.

Acquisitions and/or divestments may adversely affect the Group's Position

The Group regularly examines a range of corporate opportunities, including acquisitions and

divestments, with a view to determining whether those opportunities will enhance the 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 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 Group's ability to conduct its business

successfully and impact the 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

45
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 Group has previously announced but not yet completed as of the date of this Base

Prospectus 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.

Risks related to the Issuers' and the Guarantor's financial situation

Credit risk may adversely affect the Group's Position

As a financial institution, the 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.

While 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 a

deterioration in the financial condition of the economies in which the Group or its customers or

counterparties operate, a sustained high level of unemployment in the markets in which the Group or its

customers or counterparties operate, a deterioration of the financial condition of the Group's customers

or counterparties, a reduction in the value of assets the Group holds as collateral, and a reduction in the

market value of the counterparty instruments and obligations it holds.

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 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 the risk

factor, "The COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreaks of other communicable diseases or

pandemics may materially and adversely affect the Group's Position";

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 12-24 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). For more

information on climate-related risks, see the risk factor "Impact of future climate events,

geological events, plant, animal and human diseases, and other extrinsic events may

adversely affect the Group's Position"; and

46
industries exposed to the volatility of the United States Dollar as well as the Australian

Dollar and New Zealand Dollar.

The 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 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 Group enters

into, and from the 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 Group relies on information provided by or on behalf of customers and/or

counterparties, including financial statements and other financial information. The Group may also rely

on representations of customers and independent consultants as to the accuracy and completeness of that

information. The Group's financial performance could be negatively impacted to the extent that it relies

on information that is incomplete, inaccurate or materially misleading.

The Group holds provisions for credit impairment that are determined based on current information and

subjective and complex judgements of the impairment within the Group's lending portfolio. If the

information upon which the assessment is made proves to be inaccurate or if the Group fails to analyse

the information correctly, the provisions made for credit impairment may be insufficient, which may

adversely affect the Group's Position.

Challenges in managing the Group's capital base could give rise to greater volatility in capital ratios,

which may adversely affect the Group's Position

The Group's capital base is critical to the management of its businesses and access to funding. Prudential

regulators of the Group include, but are not limited to, APRA, the RBNZ and various regulators in the

United States, the UK and the countries in the Asia Pacific region. The Group is required by its primary

regulator, APRA, and the RBNZ for the ANZ New Zealand Group, to maintain adequate regulatory

capital.

Under current regulatory requirements, risk-weighted assets and expected loan losses increase as

counterparty's risk grade worsens. These regulatory capital requirements are likely to compound the

impact of any reduction in capital resulting from lower profits in times of stress. As a result, greater

volatility in capital ratios may arise and may require the Group to raise additional capital. There can be

no certainty that any additional capital required would be available or could be raised on reasonable

terms.

The Group's capital ratios may be affected by a number of factors, such as (i) lower earnings (including

lower dividends from its deconsolidated subsidiaries such as those in the insurance business as well as

from its investment in associates), (ii) increased asset growth, (iii) changes in the value of the Australian

dollar against other currencies in which the Group operates (particularly the New Zealand dollar and U.S.

dollar) that impact risk weighted assets or the foreign currency translation reserve, (iv) changes in

business strategy (including acquisitions, divestments and investments or an increase in capital intensive

businesses), and (v) changes in regulatory requirements.

APRA and the RBNZ have implemented prudential standards to accommodate Basel III. Certain other

regulators have either implemented or are in the process of implementing regulations, including Basel

III, that seek to strengthen, among other things, the liquidity and capital requirements of banks, funds

management entities and insurance entities, though there can be no assurance that these regulations have

had or will have their intended effect. These regulations, together with risks arising from any regulatory

changes (including those arising from APRA's response to the remaining Financial System Inquiry

("FSI") recommendations, further changes from APRA's 'unquestionably strong' requirements, the

requirements of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ("BCBS"), the RBNZ's reform of capital

requirements and the RBNZ's amendments to ANZ New Zealand's Conditions of Registration in response

to the COVID-19 pandemic), are described in the risk factor, "Regulatory changes or a failure to comply

47
with laws, regulations or policies may adversely affect the Group's Position". Any inability of the Group

to maintain its regulatory capital may have a material adverse effect on the Group's Position.

The Group's credit ratings could change and adversely affect the Group's ability to raise capital and

wholesale funding and constrain the volume of new lending, which may adversely affect the Group's

Position

The Group's credit ratings have a significant impact on both its access to, and cost of, capital and

wholesale funding. They may also be important to customers or counterparties when evaluating the

Group's products and services. Credit ratings and rating outlooks may be withdrawn, qualified, revised

or suspended by credit rating agencies at any time. The methodologies used by ratings agencies to

determine credit ratings and rating outlooks may be revised in response to legal or regulatory changes,

market developments or for any other reason.

The Group's credit ratings or rating outlooks could be negatively affected by a change in the credit ratings

or rating outlooks of the Commonwealth of Australia or New Zealand, the occurrence of one or more of

the other risks identified in this Base Prospectus, a change in ratings methodologies or by other events.

As a result, downgrades in the Group's credit ratings or rating outlooks could occur that do not reflect

changes in the general economic conditions or the Group's financial condition. In addition, the ratings of

individual securities (including, but not limited to, certain Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital securities and

covered bonds) issued by the Group (and other banks globally) could be impacted from time to time by

changes in the regulatory requirements for those instruments as well as the ratings methodologies used

by rating agencies.








Any future downgrade or potential downgrade to the Group's credit ratings or rating outlooks may reduce

access to capital and wholesale debt markets and could lead to an increase in funding costs, which could

constrain the volume of new lending and affect the willingness of counterparties to transact with the

Group which may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Credit ratings are not a recommendation by the relevant rating agency to invest in securities offered by

the Group.

Liquidity and funding risk events may adversely affect the Group's Position

Liquidity and funding risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall

due (including repaying depositors or maturing wholesale debt) or that the Group has insufficient

capacity to fund increases in assets. Liquidity and funding risk is inherent in all banking operations due

to the timing mismatch between cash inflows and cash outflows.

Reduced liquidity could lead to an increase in the cost of the Group's borrowings and constrain the

volume of new lending which may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Deterioration and volatility in market conditions and/or declines in investor confidence in the Group may

materially impact the Group's ability to replace maturing liabilities and access funding (in a timely and

cost effective manner), which may adversely impact the Group's Position.

The Group raises funding from a variety of sources, including customer deposits and wholesale funding

in domestic and in offshore markets to meet its funding requirements and to maintain or grow its business

generally. Developments in major markets can adversely affect liquidity in global capital markets. For

example, in times of liquidity stress, if there is damage to market confidence in the Group or if funding

inside or outside of domestic markets is not available or constrained, the Group's ability to access sources

of funding and liquidity may be constrained and the Group will be exposed to liquidity and funding risk.

48
In response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, major central banks including in

Australia and New Zealand have implemented or expanded the use of alternative monetary policy tools

including quantitative easing and certain other facilities that directly provide funding to banks in their

relevant jurisdiction, including the Group. If these tools were to be withdrawn or significantly reduced

unexpectedly the Group may be required to seek alternative funding.

The availability of alternative funding, and the terms on which it may be available, will depend on a

variety of factors, including prevailing market conditions and the Group's credit ratings at that time

(which are strongly influenced by Australia's and New Zealand's sovereign credit rating). Even if

available, the cost of these funding alternatives may be more expensive or on unfavourable terms that

may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Changes in the valuation of some of the Group's assets and liabilities may adversely affect the Group's

earnings and/or equity, and therefore the Group's Position

The Group applies accounting standards, which require that various financial instruments, including

derivative instruments, assets and liabilities classified as fair value through other comprehensive income,

and certain other assets and liabilities (as per Note 18 of the ANZBGL 2021 Audited Financial

Statements) (which are incorporated by reference into this Base Prospectus) are measured at fair value

with changes in fair value recognised in earnings or equity.

Generally, in order to establish the fair value of these instruments, the Group relies on quoted market

prices or fair values based on present value estimates or other valuation techniques that incorporate the

impact of factors that would influence the fair value as determined by a market participant. The fair value

of these instruments is impacted by changes in market prices or valuation inputs that may have a material

adverse effect on the Group's earnings and/or equity.

In addition, the Group may be exposed to a reduction in the value of non-lending related assets as a result

of impairments that are recognised in earnings. The Group is required to test the recoverability of

goodwill balances and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or not yet available for use at least

annually and other non-lending related assets including premises and equipment, investment in

associates, capitalised software and other intangible assets where there are indicators of impairment.

For the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the goodwill balances, the Group uses a multiple of

earnings calculation. Changes in the assumptions upon which the calculation is based, together with

changes in earnings, may materially impact this assessment, resulting in the potential write-off of a part

or all of the goodwill balances.

In respect of other non-lending related assets, in the event that an asset is no longer in use, or that the

cash flows generated by the asset do not support the carrying value, impairment charges may be recorded.

This, in conjunction with the other potential changes above, could impact the Group's Position.

Changes to accounting policies may adversely affect the Group's Position

The accounting policies that the Group applies are fundamental to how it records and reports its financial

position and results of operations. Management exercises judgement in selecting and applying many of

these accounting policies so that they comply with the applicable accounting standards or interpretations

and reflect the most appropriate manner in which to record and report on the Group's financial position

and results of operations. However, these accounting policies may be applied inaccurately, resulting in a

misstatement of the Group's financial position. In addition, the application of new or revised accounting

standards or interpretations may adversely affect the Group's Position.

The impact of new accounting standards effective for the first time in the Group's 2021 fiscal year is

outlined in Note 1 of the ANZBGL 2021 Audited Financial Statements.

In some cases, management must select an accounting policy from two or more alternatives, any of which

would comply with the relevant accounting standard or interpretation and be reasonable under the

circumstances, yet might result in reporting materially different outcomes than would have been reported

under the alternative.

Legal and regulatory risk

Regulatory changes or a failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies may adversely affect the

Group's Position

The Group's businesses and operations are highly regulated. The pace of regulatory change has

accelerated in recent years. The 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 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 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 Group. Any future ramifications of the

COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain and, as of the date of this Base 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 Group's ability to manage regulatory change and increase the

risk of the Group not complying with new regulations when they come into effect.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic also has the potential to complicate the Group's dealings with its

regulators in a number of ways. In particular, disruptions to the Group's business, operations, third party

contractors and suppliers resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may increase the risk that the 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 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 Group remains susceptible to

regulatory action where it fails to satisfy its regulatory obligations. For more information on risks relating

to the COVID-19 pandemic see the risk factor entitled "The COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreaks

of other communicable diseases or pandemics may materially and adversely affect the Group's Position".

In Australia:

Prudential Developments

Developments in prudential regulation continue to impact the Group in a material way. Given the number

of items that are currently open for consultation with APRA and the RBNZ, the potential impacts on the

Group remain uncertain. Further changes to APRA's or the RBNZ's prudential standards could increase

the level of regulatory capital that the Group is required to maintain, restrict the Group's flexibility,

require it to incur substantial costs and/or impact the profitability of one or more business lines any of

which may adversely affect the Group's Position. Particular points include:

In August 2021, APRA released the final prudential standard APS111 "Capital Adequacy:

Measurement of Capital" ("APS111"). The most material change from APRA's revision 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 per cent.

risk weighting to:

o250 per cent. risk weighting up to an amount equal to 10 per cent. of ANZBGL's net

Level 1 Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") capital; and

othe remainder of the investment will be treated as a CET1 capital deduction.

50
APRA has maintained the above proposals in an update in May 2021, which also includes

APRA responses to submissions made by the industry in relation to the issues raised from

the October 2019 discussion paper. ANZBGL continues to review the implications of

APRA's proposal 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, the final form of the prudential standard, as well as the effect

of management actions being pursued that have the potential to materially offset the impact

of these proposals. Based on ANZBGL's investment as at 30 September 2021, in its affected

subsidiaries and in the absence of any offsetting management actions, the above proposals

imply a reduction in ANZBGL's Level 1 CET1 capital ratio of up to approximately A$2

billion (approximately 60 basis points). There would be no impact on the Group's Level 2

CET1 capital ratio arising from these proposed changes. The proposed implementation date

has been deferred by APRA to 1 January 2022. In a further update during November 2020,

APRA announced, that until the new APS111 is finalised and implemented, APRA will

require any new or additional equity investments in banking and insurance subsidiaries,

where the amount of that new or additional investments takes the aggregate value of the

investment above 10 per cent. of an ADI's CET1 capital, to be fully funded by equity capital

at the ADI parent company level. This treatment would apply to the proportion of the new

or additional investment that is above 10 per cent. of an ADI's CET1 capital.

In August 2019, APRA announced that it will amend APS222 "Associations with Related

Entities" to reduce the limits for Australian ADIs' individual entity exposure to related ADIs

(or overseas equivalents) from 50 per cent. of Level 1 total capital to 25 per cent. of Level

1 Tier 1 capital, and aggregate exposures from 150 per cent. of Level 1 total capital to 75

per cent. of Level 1 Tier 1 capital. As exposures are measured net of capital deductions, the

proposed changes to APRA's capital regulations (contained in APS111) will affect the

measurement of ADI exposures. The implementation date for these changes has been

deferred by APRA from 1 January 2021 to 1 January 2022.

In July 2019, APRA announced its decision on loss-absorbing capacity pursuant to which it

will require Australian domestic systemically important banks ("D-SIBs"), including

ANZBGL, to increase their total capital by 3 per cent. of risk-weighted assets ("RWA") by

January 2024. Based on the Group's capital position as at 30 September 2021, this represents

an incremental increase in the total capital requirement of approximately A$3.7 billion, with

an equivalent decrease in other senior funding. APRA has stated that it anticipates that D-

SIBs would satisfy the requirement predominantly with additional Tier 2 capital. APRA is

considering, over the next four years, feasible alternative methods for raising an additional

1 per cent. to 2 per cent. of RWA. As part of APRA's update on the APS111 consultation in

May 2021, APRA has also indicated their intention to work with the industry and the RBNZ

on how the RBNZ's proposed new definitions of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) and Tier 2 capital

could contribute towards the overall loss absorbing capacity of banking groups. Subject to

appropriate strengthening of cross-border resolution arrangements, APRA could take into

account the RBNZ qualifying AT1 and Tier 2 capital when determining the financial

resources needed to support the orderly resolution of major banks.

Implementation of APRA's revisions to the capital framework for ADIs, resulting from the

BCBS Basel III capital reforms and the recommendations of the FSI, will continue over the

coming years. However, in response to the challenging economic environment resulting

from disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, APRA announced a temporary change

to its expectations with regards to ADIs maintaining bank capital ratios at the

'unquestionably strong' benchmark of 10.5 per cent. for CET1. APRA advised all banks that

during this period of disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, APRA would not

be concerned if banks are not meeting this benchmark as the current large buffers may be

needed to facilitate ongoing lending to the Australian economy, provided that they continue

to meet their other minimum capital requirements.

APRA has deferred its scheduled implementation of changes to ADIs risk-weighting

framework and other capital requirements (capital reforms) by one year. The majority of the

capital reforms were initially due for implementation on 1 January 2022, but these have now

51
been revised to 1 January 2023. In December 2020, 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. These proposals replaced previous

consultation packages released by APRA in 2018 and 2019 in relation to proposed revisions

to the capital framework for ADIs. The key aspects of APRA's latest proposal, published in

December 2020, are:

oIncreased alignment with internationally agreed Basel standards;

oImplementing more risk-sensitive risk weights for residential mortgage lending;

oIntroduction of the Basel II capital floor that limits the RWA outcome for Internal

Ratings-Based ("IRB") ADIs to no less than 72.5 per cent. of the RWA outcome

under the standardised approach;

oImproving 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;

oImproving the transparency and comparability of ADIs' capital ratios, including by

requiring IRB ADIs to also publish their capital ratios under the standardised

approach; and

oImplementing a Minimum Leverage Ratio for IRB ADIs at 3.5 per cent.

APRA has indicated in their proposals a decrease in RWA, but this would be offset by the

increased capital allocation to regulatory 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 ANZBGL), however, will vary depending on the final form of requirements

implemented by APRA.

Further updates were made by APRA in June and July 2021 in regards to the capital reforms.

APRA provided more details around the timing of implementation of the capital reforms and

updates to RWA calibration, with no substantive changes to the key policy objectives as

outlined in their December 2020 proposals.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020 APRA provided guidance on capital

management, which included an expectation that ADIs seriously consider deferring decisions

on the appropriate level of dividends. In July 2020, APRA provided an update to their

guidance, which included an expectation that ADIs maintain caution on dividends and, for

the remainder of the 2020 calendar year, the ADIs seek to retain at least half of their earnings

when making decisions on capital distributions. In December 2020, APRA further updated

its guidance, whereby from calendar year 2021, APRA will no longer hold banks to a

minimum level of earnings retention but ADIs will need to maintain vigilance and careful

planning in capital management. APRA 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.

In July 2021, APRA has also announced the regulatory support for banks offering temporary

financial assistance to borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For these eligible

borrowers, ADIs will not need to treat a repayment deferral as a loan restructuring or the

period of deferral as a period of arrears. This temporary prudential treatment was applicable

for eligible loans granted a repayment deferral of up to three months from 8 July 2021 to 30

September 2021.

52
The RBNZ has released new capital adequacy requirements for New Zealand banks, which

are set out in the Banking Prudential Requirements ("BPR") documents and are being

implemented in stages during a transition period from October 2021 to July 2028. The net

impact on the Group is expected to be an increase in required CET1 capital of approximately

A$1.0 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 for ANZ New Zealand (for example, RWA growth,

management buffer requirements), potential dividend payments and the final form of

APS111 implementation.

Additionally, under changes outlined in the BPR documents, from 1 January 2022 there will

be a 12.5 per cent. reduction in the regulatory capital recognition of ANZ New Zealand's

existing Additional Tier 1 capital instruments, including its NZ$500 million of mandatory

convertible perpetual subordinated securities ("Capital Notes"). As a result, ANZ New

Zealand has determined that a Regulatory Event (as defined in the deed poll for the Capital

Notes dated 23 February 2015 as amended and restated on 26 June 2019) has occurred in

respect of the Capital Notes. The occurrence of a Regulatory Event means that ANZ New

Zealand may choose to redeem the Capital Notes at its discretion. A redemption of the

Capital Notes is subject to certain conditions, including approval from the RBNZ and

APRA. No decision has been made on whether ANZ New Zealand will redeem the Capital

Notes and holders of Capital Notes should not expect that to occur.

In March 2021, the RBNZ announced that its restrictions on dividends put in place in April

2020 would be eased. The updated restrictions allow ANZ New Zealand to pay up to 50 per

cent. of its earnings as dividends to its shareholder. This restriction will remain in place until

1 July 2022, at which point the RBNZ intends to remove the restrictions completely, subject

to no significant worsening in economic conditions. Further, in March 2021, the RBNZ

announced that it would remove the restrictions on redemption of non-CET1 capital

instruments. However, as the restriction was in place in May 2020, ANZ New Zealand was

not permitted to redeem its Capital Notes on the optional exchange date (25 May 2020) and

did not exercise its option to convert in May 2020. Refer above for discussion on the Capital

Notes.

Recalibration of ASIC's Regulatory Priorities

ASIC announced on 23 March 2020, that it will focus its regulatory efforts on challenges created by the

COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, ASIC has afforded priority to matters where there is the risk of

significant consumer harm, serious breaches of the law, risks to market integrity and time-critical matters.

This included a focus on loan deferral programmes and customers dealing with hardship. ASIC

immediately suspended a number of near-term activities which are not time-critical. These included some

consultations, regulatory reports and onsite reviews including ASIC's close and continuous monitoring

program. In April 2020, ASIC announced further details of changes to its regulatory work and priorities

in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including that it has stepped up markets supervision work and that

enforcement action will continue. However, ASIC stated that there may be changes to the timing and

process of investigations it is conducting to take in account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In

May 2020, ASIC announced that it would defer the commencement date of the mortgage broker best

interests duty and remuneration reforms and the design and distribution obligations by six months to 1

January 2021, and 5 October 2021, respectively.

In August 2021, ASIC released its Corporate Plan for 2021 through 2025, which outlines ASIC's vision

to achieve a fair, strong and efficient financial system for all Australians, through four external strategic

priorities: (i) promoting economic recovery, including through better and more efficient regulation,

facilitating innovation, and targeting regulatory and enforcement action to areas of greatest harm; (ii)

reducing risk of harm to consumers exposed to poor product governance and design, and increased

investment scam activity in a low-yield environment; (iii) supporting enhanced cyber resilience and

cyber security among ASIC's regulated population, in line with the whole-of-government commitment

to mitigating cyber security risks; and (iv) driving industry readiness and compliance with standards set

by law reform initiatives (including the Financial Accountability Regime, reforms in superannuation and

53
insurance, breach reporting, and the design and distribution obligations). ASIC also stated it intends to

take regulatory action during this period to achieve its vision and that its work over the next four years

will centre on: changing behaviours to drive good consumer and investor outcomes; acting against

misconduct to maintain trust and integrity in the financial system; promoting strong and innovative

development of the financial system; and helping Australians to be in control of their financial lives.

ASIC also released its new Statement of Intent in response to the Australian Government's Statement of

Expectations. The Statement of Intent covers: support for economic goals and COVID-19 pandemic

recovery; regulatory co-operation; stakeholder engagement and guidance; use of regulatory tools; and

governance.

Royal Commission

The Royal Commission made 76 recommendations concerning law reform, self-regulatory standards and

the operations of ASIC and APRA, a number of which have already been addressed. The Australian

Government has stated that it remains focused on completing the implementation of the remaining

recommendations. Following the Royal Commission, there have been, and continue to be, additional

costs and further exposures, including exposures associated with further regulator activity or potential

customer exposures such as class actions, individual claims or customer remediation or compensation

activities. The recommendations may also lead to adjustments in the competitive environment of the

Group. The outcomes and total costs associated with these possible exposures and changes remain

uncertain and their impact may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Competition Laws, Regulations and Inquiries

There is a strong focus on the regulation of competition in the Australian and New Zealand financial

services sectors. In February 2021, the ACCC announced its enforcement priorities for the year and

financial services has returned as a key priority. The ACCC noted that it would be following through on

the recommendations from the ACCC's Home Loan Price Inquiry final report which was released in

December 2020. The recommendations included a prompt to encourage borrowers to consider if they

could benefit from switching loan providers, changes to the mortgage discharge process, and an ongoing

role for the ACCC to monitor competition and prices in the home loan market. These changes are likely

to result in increased compliance costs being incurred by the Group. The ACCC has noted it will heavily

scrutinise any mergers or acquisitions, particularly by any of the big four Australian banks and will also

keep a close watch on any issues arising from collections as loan deferral periods come to an end.

Increased scrutiny by ACCC may result in an associated increase in costs for the Group in addition to

adversely impacting the Group's ability to grow through the implementation of potential acquisitions

which may in turn, have a negative impact on the Group's Position.

Product Laws, Regulations and Inquiries

There remains a strong focus on the suitability of products offered by financial services providers,

including the Group. Regulatory policy development and monitoring of responsible consumer lending

has increased significantly, and continues to drive the review of, and changes to, business practices. If

any additional changes in law, regulation or policy are implemented, as a result of the development and

monitoring of responsible consumer lending, such changes may impact the manner in which the Group

provides consumer lending services in the future that may in some respects adversely affect the Group's

operations in this area and consequently, the Group's Position. ASIC published updated regulatory

guidance on responsible lending laws in December 2019. In December 2020, the Australian Government

introduced a bill to make changes to Australia's credit framework, including changes to the responsible

lending obligations for ADIs, where APRA will continue to regulate ADIs in relation to existing

standards, while ASIC will regulate non ADIs in relation to new standards. Laws for stricter anti-hawking

prohibitions in relation to financial products and a deferred sales model for add on insurance have

recently been passed. The design and distribution obligation legislation, which came into effect in

Australia on 5 October 2021, will introduce requirements on product issuers and distributors to, among

other things, identify appropriate target markets for financial and credit products and distribute those

products so that they likely reach the relevant target market. There are significant penalties for non-

compliance and such legislation could impact the Group's ability to issue and market financial products

in the future. Increased compliance costs resulting from financial product distribution requirements may

adversely impact the Group's Position.

54
Increasing Regulatory Powers, Corporate Penalties and Funding for Regulators

There are increased penalties for breaches of laws in Australia, including the Australian consumer law,

as well as increased powers to regulators and funding for regulators to enforce breaches. Increasing

regulatory powers include ASIC's product intervention power and proposed expansions of ASIC

directions powers. The Australian Government announced in March 2019 that ASIC would be provided

with more than A$400 million and APRA with more than A$150 million in additional funding to support

enforcement actions and increase regulation and supervision. The Treasury Laws Amendment

(Strengthening Corporate and Financial Sector Penalties) Act 2019 significantly increased the sanctions

applicable to the contravention of a range of corporate and financial sector obligations. The imposition

of such penalties on the Group may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Senior Executive Accountability Laws and Regulations

There are increasing penalties and specialised rules applicable to senior executives in the banking sector.

The Banking Executive Accountability Regime ("BEAR") was introduced as a new responsibility and

accountability framework for the directors and most senior executives in ADI groups. The Australian

Government announced in January 2020 that the BEAR will be replaced by the Financial Accountability

Regime ("FAR"), which proposes to extend the regime to other APRA-regulated entities. FAR would be

jointly administered by APRA and ASIC and could impose civil penalties for any breaches, including

for individuals. On 28 October 2021, the Australian Government introduced the Financial Accountability

Regime Bill 2021 into Parliament. Potential risks to the Group from the BEAR legislation and FAR

include the risk of penalties and the risk to the Group's ability to attract and retain high-quality directors

and senior executives.

Other government or regulatory interventions in the financial sector

There remain ongoing Australian Government and regulator led inquiries and interventions into

Australia's banks. These inquiries are wide ranging and could lead to legislative or regulatory changes or

measures that may adversely affect the Group's Position, including through taxes and levies. Scrutiny of

banks also increased substantially following the commencement by the Australian Transaction Reports

and Analysis Centre ("AUSTRAC") (the Australian Government financial intelligence agency set up to

monitor financial transactions to identify money laundering, organised crime, tax evasion, welfare fraud

and terrorism financing) of civil penalty proceedings in 2017 and 2019 against two major Australian

banks relating to alleged past and ongoing contraventions of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-

Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Commonwealth). The Australian Parliament's Joint Standing Committee

on Trade and Investment Growth is conducting an inquiry into the prudential regulation of investment in

Australia's export industries. The terms of reference focus on prudential standards and practices across

banking, insurance and superannuation and how these are impacting businesses and the rural, regional

and national economies. ANZBGL has appeared twice before the Standing Committee on Trade and

Investment Growth in connection with the inquiry. The Australian Senate Select Committee on Australia

as a Technology and Financial Centre is considering a range of issues concerning technology and

Australian financial services, including the 'debanking' of fintechs by Australian banks. The impact of

the inquiry on ANZBGL, if any, is not yet clear. See also the risk factor entitled "Significant fines and

sanctions in the event of breaches of law or regulation relating to anti-money laundering, counter-

terrorism financing and sanctions may adversely affect the Group's Position".

Industry self-regulation

There is continued focus on industry best practice guidance and standards impacting retail and small

business banking. Changes to self-regulatory instruments, including industry codes and practice

guidelines, has required Group resources to implement and monitor compliance. An independent review

of the Australian Banking Code is underway with a final report due in November 2021. The report is

expected to include recommendations on which provisions should be designated 'enforceable', pursuant

to the Financial Services Royal Commission recommendation to allow certain industry code provisions

to be deemed as 'enforceable code provisions' (the breach of which would attract civil penalties). ASIC

is required to approve any changes made to the Australian Banking Code.

55
Open Banking Laws

Open Banking is part of a new consumer data right ("CDR") in Australia that came into effect in August

2019. The CDR gives customers access to and control over their data and establishes and seeks to

improve consumers' ability to compare and switch between products and services. From 1 July 2020,

individual customers can request their bank share their data for deposit and transaction accounts and

credit and debit cards and this ability has since been extended to a number of additional products. It is

expected to reduce the barriers to new entrants into the banking industry in Australia. Open Banking may

lead to increased competition that may adversely affect the Group's Position.

On 23 December 2020, the Australian Government released the report of the Inquiry into Future

Directions of the Consumer Data Right. The report contains 100 recommendations for the expansion of

the CDR which currently underpins open banking. It includes a recommendation to enable general action

initiation (e.g. opening, managing and closing products) and payment initiation by accredited persons

through the CDR regime. If the recommendations are implemented by Australian Government this may

lead to a further increase in competition. The Australian Government announced it will respond to the

report in calendar year 2021. The Australian Treasury is also conducting a strategic assessment of the

CDR.

Cyber Security

The Australian Government has expressed its commitment to protecting Australian essential services by

improving the security and resilience of critical infrastructure. The Security Legislation Amendment

(Critical Infrastructure) Bill 2020 was introduced in December 2020. If passed, the bill would create an

enhanced regulatory framework for Australia's critical infrastructure that may include banks. The impact

on ANZBGL of the bill, if passed, is not yet clear.

Payments Policy

There are a number of Government bodies considering issues relating to the regulation of payments in

Australia. On 30 August 2021, the Australian Government released the final report of a review into the

Australian payments system. The report makes 15 recommendations concerning how payments policy is

set in Australia and the powers that Government would have to implement that policy. The Australian

Treasury is expected to consult on the recommendations ahead of a response being finalised by the

Australian Government. The RBA separately conducted a review of retail payments regulation and

released its conclusions paper in October 2021. The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and

Financial Services is also conducting an inquiry into mobile payment and digital wallet financial services.

The impact of this work on ANZBGL, if any, is not yet clear.

Outside of Australia:

New Zealand Developments

The New Zealand Government and its agencies, including the RBNZ, the New Zealand Financial

Markets Authority ("FMA") and the New Zealand Commerce Commission ("Commerce

Commission"), have supervisory oversight over the ANZ New Zealand Group. Prudential authorities

such as the RBNZ have extensive administrative, practical and investigative powers over the ANZ New

Zealand Group's business.

There have been a series of regulatory releases from these and other authorities that have proposed, or

may result in, significant regulatory changes for financial institutions in New Zealand. For example:

Prudential Developments: The ANZ New Zealand Group continues to expect increased

regulatory focus on capital and liquidity requirements. For example, the RBNZ, APRA, the

Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ("BCBS") and regulators in other jurisdictions have

revised standards and released discussion papers, proposals and decisions in regard to

strengthening the resilience of the banking sector. Further changes to the RBNZ's prudential

standards could increase the level of regulatory capital that the ANZ New Zealand Group is

56
required to maintain, restrict the ANZ New Zealand Group's flexibility, require it to incur

substantial costs and/or impact the profitability of one or more of its business lines, any of which

may adversely affect the ANZ New Zealand Group's Position. For example, the following

RBNZ reviews and policies may have a material impact on ANZ New Zealand's Position.

oCapital adequacy: See "Risk Factors—Risks related to the Issuer's and the Guarantor's

financial situation— Challenges in managing the Group's capital base could give rise to

greater volatility in capital ratios, which may adversely affect the Group's Position" and

"Description of Supervision and Regulation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ANZ

New Zealand (Int'l) Limited—New Zealand Regulatory Developments—Bank capital

adequacy requirements" for further discussion.

oRBNZ Liquidity Policy: The RBNZ's Liquidity Policy ("BS13") sets out the RBNZ's

policy on management of liquidity risk by registered banks in New Zealand. The

objective of BS13 is to contribute to the effective functioning of the New Zealand

financial system by reducing the likelihood of a liquidity problem affecting a registered

bank. BS13 requires registered banks to meet a minimum core funding ratio ("CFR") of

75 per cent., ensuring that at least a minimum proportion of bank funding is met through

customer deposits, term wholesale funding and Tier 1 capital. With effect from 2 April

2020, the RBNZ amended ANZ New Zealand's Conditions of Registration to reduce the

minimum requirement for ANZ New Zealand's CFR to 50 per cent. in response to the

COVID-19 pandemic. However, the RBNZ intends to revert back to the 75 per cent.

minimum requirement from 1 January 2022. The RBNZ has also previously stated that

it will be commencing a review of its liquidity policy in the first half of 2022. Future

changes to liquidity requirements in New Zealand may adversely affect the ANZ New

Zealand Group's Position and may result in it incurring substantial costs in order to

comply with such changes.

Amendments to the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003 ("CCCFA"): In

December 2019, the New Zealand Parliament passed legislation to amend the CCCFA to better

protect vulnerable consumers from irresponsible lending. Those changes will increase New

Zealand banks' (including ANZ New Zealand's) potential liability in the case of non-

compliance, which could adversely affect the ANZ New Zealand Group's Position. Some of the

CCCFA changes, including new regulations that prescribe lending suitability and affordability

assessment processes, will come into force on 1 December 2021. The ANZ New Zealand Group

is working to update its systems and processes and expects these changes will increase its

compliance costs. See "Description of Supervision and Regulation of ANZ Bank New Zealand

Limited and ANZ New Zealand (Int'l) Limited—New Zealand Regulatory Developments—

Amendments to the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act 2003" for further discussion.

Changes to Conditions of Registration: ANZ New Zealand is a registered bank under the

Reserve Bank Act and is supervised by the RBNZ. As part of its registration, ANZ New Zealand

is subject to Conditions of Registration imposed by the RBNZ. For details of ANZ New

Zealand's current Conditions of Registration, see "Description of Supervision and Regulation of

ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ANZ New Zealand (Int'l) Limited—Conditions of

Registration for ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited". The Conditions of Registration may be

changed by the RBNZ at any time, although the RBNZ is required to give ANZ New Zealand

notice and consider submissions made by ANZ New Zealand prior to any such change. The

ANZ New Zealand Group disclosed instances of material non-compliance with Condition of

Registration 1B in the ANZ New Zealand 2021 Disclosure Statement. See "Description of

Supervision and Regulation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ANZ New Zealand (Int'l)

Limited—New Zealand Regulatory Developments—Material non-compliance with Conditions

of Registration". In the event that the RBNZ were to conclude that ANZ New Zealand did not

satisfy its Conditions of Registration, sanctions could be imposed on ANZ New Zealand by the

RBNZ. This may result in a range of possible consequences, including changes to ANZ New

Zealand's Conditions of Registration. The impact of such consequences may adversely affect

the ANZ New Zealand Group's Position.

57
Section 95 Reviews: In July 2019, the RBNZ gave ANZ New Zealand notice under section 95

of the Reserve Bank Act, requiring ANZ New Zealand to engage an external reviewer to provide

reports regarding ANZ New Zealand's compliance with the RBNZ's capital adequacy

requirements and the effectiveness of ANZ New Zealand's director attestation and assurance

framework. See "Description of Supervision and Regulation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited

and ANZ New Zealand (Int'l) Limited—New Zealand Regulatory Developments —Section 95

Reviews" for further information.

Changes to IRB accreditation: ANZ New Zealand has received RBNZ accreditation as an IRB

approach bank under the principles laid out by the BCBS in respect of Basel III, except for

Operational Risk Capital ("ORC"), which is calculated in accordance with BPR150 from 1

October 2021. That accreditation is subject to certain requirements which have been

incorporated into the current Conditions of Registration. ANZ New Zealand is reviewed by both

the RBNZ and APRA in terms of maintaining that accreditation. Changes to ANZ New

Zealand's accreditation may adversely affect the ANZ New Zealand Group's Position.

Proposed conduct regulations for financial institutions: Following the establishment of the

Australian Royal Commission (as defined below) and the subsequent FMA and RBNZ joint

review of conduct and culture in the New Zealand banking sector, the New Zealand Government

has introduced a bill to the New Zealand Parliament that would introduce a conduct licensing

regime for financial institutions. Under the proposed regime, financial institutions (including

registered banks such as ANZ New Zealand) would be licensed by the FMA, and would be

required to comply with a fair conduct principle in relation to their customers. Licensed

institutions would also be required to establish, implement, maintain and comply with an

effective fair conduct programme to operationalise the fair conduct principle. As at the date of

this Base Prospectus, it is uncertain what impact the proposals may have on ANZ New Zealand.

However, they could result in increased compliance costs and/or liability in the case of non-

compliance, which may adversely affect the ANZ New Zealand Group's Position. See

"Description of Supervision and Regulation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ANZ New

Zealand (Int'l) Limited—New Zealand Regulatory Developments—Proposed conduct

regulations for financial institutions" for further discussion.

Reserve Bank Act: The Reserve Bank Act is being replaced with two separate pieces of

legislation: the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 2021, which was enacted on 16 August 2021;

and the "Deposit Takers Act", which is yet to be enacted. Until the Deposit Takers Bill is

enacted, the current regulatory framework for banks will continue under the Reserve Bank Act,

which will be renamed the Banking (Prudential Supervision) Act 1989. As at the date of this

Base Prospectus, it is uncertain what impact these legislative changes may have on the ANZ

New Zealand Group. However, changes to the RBNZ's role, powers and supervisory approach,

and other changes to the Reserve Bank Act may impact the ANZ New Zealand Group's Position.

See "Description of Supervision and Regulation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ANZ

New Zealand (Int'l) Limited—New Zealand Regulatory Developments—Review of the Reserve

Bank Act" for further discussion, including in-principle decisions that have been made by the

New Zealand Government.

RBNZ's revised outsourcing policy ("BS11"): BS11 requires large New Zealand incorporated

banks, such as ANZ New Zealand, to have the legal and practical ability to control and execute

outsourced functions. BS11 applies to all new outsourcing arrangements entered into from 1

October 2017. Existing outsourcing arrangements have until 1 October 2023 to transition to full

compliance with BS11. A formal programme has been established and is responsible for

delivering ANZ New Zealand's compliance with BS11, as outlined in its Path-to-Compliance

Plan. ANZ New Zealand is incurring substantial costs to comply with the changes. The BS11

requirements form part of ANZ New Zealand's Conditions of Registration. If ANZ New Zealand

does not comply with its Conditions of Registration in relation to outsourcing, the RBNZ could

take enforcement action. This may result in a range of possible consequences, including the

imposition of further restrictions on ANZ New Zealand's use of outsourcing. The impact of such

consequences may adversely affect the ANZ New Zealand Group's Position. See "Description

of Supervision and Regulation of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ANZ New Zealand (Int'l)

58
Limited—New Zealand Regulatory Developments—RBNZ's revised outsourcing policy" for

further discussion.

RBNZ breach disclosure and reporting regime: In January 2021, the RBNZ implemented a

framework for the reporting and publishing of regulatory breaches by banks. The framework

requires a bank to report promptly to the RBNZ when there is a breach or possible breach of a

regulatory requirement in a material respect, and report all minor breaches every six months.

Actual material breaches will then be published on the RBNZ's website.

Open Banking: Emerging fintechs and banks partnering to develop a framework that provides

third-party financial service providers open access to consumer banking, transaction, and other

financial data from banks and non-bank financial institutions in New Zealand may lead to

increased competition, which could result in weakening the profitability of banks that are slow

to adapt to the changing financial system landscape. At the date of this Base Prospectus, there

is no regulatory requirement to provide third-party financial service providers open access to

consumer banking, transaction, and other financial data held by registered banks in New

Zealand. The New Zealand Government announced in July 2021 that a Consumer Data Right

will be established in New Zealand, with legislation expected to be introduced in 2022.

Such changes may adversely affect the ANZ New Zealand Group, potentially impacting its corporate

structures, businesses, strategies, capital, liquidity, funding and profitability, cost structures, and the cost

and access to credit for its customers and the wider economy. This in turn may adversely affect the ANZ

New Zealand Group's Position. For further information, see "Description of Supervision and Regulation

of ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ANZ New Zealand (Int'l) Limited–New Zealand Regulatory

Developments".

Other Offshore Developments

Other offshore regulatory developments include changes to financial regulations in the United States,

changes to senior executive accountability in Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UK, introduction of greater

data protection regulations in Europe, implementation of further phases of the initial margin requirements

for uncleared OTC derivatives in a number of the Relevant Jurisdictions and the requirement that banks

prepare for the reform of EURIBOR and the Singapore inter-bank offered rate ("SIBOR"), and the

discontinuation of LIBOR and other such interbank offered rates by transitioning to risk free rates. For

further information in relation to LIBOR risks, see also the risk factor entitled "The planned

discontinuation of LIBOR and developments affecting other benchmark rates could have adverse

consequences on the Group's securities issuances and its capital markets and investment activities"

above.

A failure by the Group to comply with laws, regulations or policies in any of the Relevant Jurisdictions

could result in regulatory investigations, legal or regulatory sanctions, financial or reputational loss,

litigation, fines, penalties, restrictions on the Group's ability to do business, revocation, suspension or

variation of conditions of relevant regulatory licences or other enforcement or administrative action or

agreements (such as enforceable undertakings) that may adversely affect the Group's Position.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's operations may result in delays to the

implementation of regulatory changes or steps required to address commitments made to regulators or

publicly. Any delays will be dependent on how regulators choose to adjust the prioritisation, timing and

deployment of their supervisory mandate or legislative change.

Such failures may also result in the Group being exposed to the risk of litigation brought by third parties

(including through class action proceedings). The outcome of any litigation (including class action

proceedings) may result in the payment of compensation to third parties and/or further remediation

activities. For information in relation to the Group's litigation and contingent liabilities, see the risk factor

entitled "Litigation and contingent liabilities may adversely affect the Group's Position" and Note 33 of

the ANZBGL 2021 Audited Financial Statements (which are incorporated by reference into this Base

Prospectus).

Litigation and contingent liabilities may adversely affect the Group's Position

59
From time to time, the Group may be subject to material litigation, regulatory actions, legal or arbitration

proceedings and other contingent liabilities that may adversely affect the Group's Position.

The Group had contingent liabilities as at 30 September 2021 in respect of the matters outlined in Note

33 of the ANZBGL 2021 Audited Financial Statements (which are incorporated by reference into this

Base Prospectus).

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.

The ANZ New Zealand Group had contingent liabilities as at 30 September 2021 in respect of the matters

outlined in Note 27 of the ANZ New Zealand 2021 Audited Financial Statements (which are incorporated

by reference into this Base Prospectus). Note 27 includes, among other things, a description of loan

information litigation.

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of matters on which the 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 Group has

received various notices and requests for information from its regulators as part of both industry-wide

and 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.

Significant fines and sanctions in the event of breaches of law or regulation relating to anti-money

laundering, counter-terrorism financing and sanctions may adversely affect the Group's Position

Anti-money laundering ("AML"), counter-terrorism financing ("CTF") and sanctions compliance have

been the subject of significant regulatory change and enforcement in recent years. The increasingly

complicated environment in which the Group operates has heightened these operational and compliance

risks. Furthermore, the increased transparency of the outcomes of compliance breaches by financial

60
institutions both domestically and globally and the related fines and settlement sums mean that these

risks continue to be an area of focus for the Group.

In recent years, there has been an increase in action taken by key AML/CTF regulators against "reporting

entities" (in Australia, a "reporting entity" constitutes a legal entity that provides at least one "designated

service" to a customer, such as opening a bank account or providing a loan). AUSTRAC continues to

publicly communicate its view that many reporting entities in Australia have underinvested in systems

and controls required to identify, mitigate and manage their AML/CTF risks.

In late 2019, AUSTRAC commenced civil penalty proceedings against a major Australian bank relating

to alleged past reporting contraventions of the Australian Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-

Terrorism Financing Act 2006. In September 2020, an agreed statement of facts was filed in Federal

Court resulting in a civil penalty of A$1.3 billion being imposed against the bank. This is the largest

financial penalty imposed on a financial institution in Australia's history (almost twice the amount of the

previous largest AUSTRAC financial penalty) confirming AUSTRAC's continued efforts to penalise

significant non-compliance with the AML/CTF regime. Additionally, since 2018 AUSTRAC has had the

power to issue infringement notices pursuant to which it can impose significant penalties. It has used this

approach twice issuing infringement notices to reporting entities despite the number of breaches in each

case being relatively small (less than 100). Further, AUSTRAC and other regulators have exhibited a

willingness to promptly exercise their enforcement powers by instituting civil penalty proceedings.

Similarly, the RBNZ has stated that its appetite for taking formal enforcement action for breaches of the

New Zealand Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 has increased,

and the propensity for other regulators (including in Asia and the Pacific) to take action for non-

compliance with their local AML/CTF laws has increased. In August 2021, the High Court of New

Zealand handed down judgment in a civil case commenced by the RBNZ against a New Zealand retail

bank for breaches of the New Zealand AML/CTF legislation, imposing a penalty of NZ$3.5 million. The

breaches concerned failures in the bank's risk assessment processes and maintenance of its AML/CTF

programme. This was the first civil case brought by the RBNZ. In addition, in August 2021, the RBNZ

issued a formal warning to the New Zealand branch of a major Australian bank for failing to report

prescribed transactions as required by the AML/CTF legislation. The formal warning relates to

approximately 7,800 reports of outgoing international wire transfers.

ANZ New Zealand self-identified three prescribed transaction reporting ("PTR") matters to the RBNZ,

where transaction reports had not been filed within the prescribed timeframe. In November 2021, the

RBNZ informed ANZ New Zealand that it considers one of these matters (related to 6,409 transaction

reports of a certain SWIFT message type) to be a material breach, and the other two to be minor breaches,

of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 relating to PTR. These

matters have been referred to the RBNZ's enforcement team for review. The potential outcome of these

matters remains uncertain at this time.

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve at different paces in many of the jurisdictions in

which the Group operates, close monitoring of the levels and types of financial crimes continues across

the Group. To date, the most notable impact has been the changing types of scams with criminals

targeting vulnerable customers using the COVID-19 pandemic as a cover, as well as identity theft and

false applications for Government support. There is a continuing risk that the management of alerts for

potential money laundering or terrorism financing activities may be slowed due to both resource

availability and/or changed working arrangements.

The risk of non-compliance with AML/CTF and sanction laws remains high given the scale and

complexity of the Group and the lack of clarity around some mandatory reporting requirements.

Emerging technologies, such as virtual currency issuers/exchangers and wallet providers as well as

increasingly complex remittance arrangements via fintechs and other disruptors, may limit the Group's

ability to track the movement of funds, develop relevant transaction monitoring, and meet reporting

obligations. Additionally, the complexity of the Group's technology, and the increasing frequency of

changes to systems that play a role in AML/CTF and sanctions compliance puts the Group at risk of

inadvertently failing to identify an impact on the systems and controls in place. A failure to operate a

robust program to report the movement of funds, combat money laundering, terrorism financing, and

61
other serious crimes may have serious financial, legal and reputational consequences for the Group and

its employees.

Consequences can include fines, criminal and civil penalties, civil claims, reputational harm and

limitations on doing business in certain jurisdictions. These consequences, individually or collectively

may adversely affect the Group's Position. The Group's foreign operations may place the Group under

increased scrutiny by regulatory authorities, and subject the Group to increased compliance costs.

Changes in monetary policies may adversely affect the Group's Position

Central monetary authorities (including the RBA, the RBNZ, the United States Federal Reserve, the Bank

of England and the monetary authorities in the Asian jurisdictions in which the Group operates) set

official interest rates or take other measures to affect the demand for money and credit in their relevant

jurisdictions. In addition, in some jurisdictions, currency policy is also used to influence general business

conditions and the demand for money and credit. These measures and policies can significantly affect

the Group's cost of funds for lending and investing and the return that the Group will earn on those loans

and investments. These factors impact the Group's net interest margin and can affect the value of financial

instruments it holds, such as debt securities and hedging instruments. The measures and policies of the

central monetary authorities can also affect the Group's borrowers, potentially increasing the risk that

they may fail to repay loans.

Many central monetary authorities have actively reduced official interest rates in jurisdictions in which

the Group operates and are currently considering, implementing or expanding the use of unconventional

monetary policies. Central banks worldwide, including the RBA, the U.S. Federal Reserve and the RBNZ

cut interest rates during 2019 in response to slowing economic growth and again in 2020 in response to

emerging risks from the COVID-19 pandemic. On 3 November 2020, the RBA cut the cash rate target

to a historic low rate of 0.1 per cent., in response to the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on

the Australian economy. The RBNZ also cut the New Zealand Official Cash Rate to a record low of 0.25

per cent. in March 2020, although this was subsequently increased to 0.50 per cent. in October 2021.

Continued low or negative interest rates would likely put pressure on the Group's interest margins and

adversely affect the Group's Position.

Changes in interest rates and monetary policy are difficult to predict and may adversely affect the Group's

Position.

Increasing compliance costs, the risk of heightened penalties and ongoing regulatory scrutiny with

respect to the significant obligations imposed by global customer tax transparency regimes (which are

still evolving), may adversely affect the Group's Position

There have been mandatory and substantial changes to, and increasing regulatory focus on, compliance

by all global Financial Institutions ("FIs"), including the Group, with global customer tax transparency

regimes, including the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), the Organisation for

Economic Co-operation and Development's ("OECD's") Common Reporting Standard ("CRS") and

similar anti-tax avoidance regimes. This includes enforcement and implementation of detailed rules and

frameworks to close down circumventions and deter, detect and penalise non-compliance.

As an in scope FI, the Group operates in a globally interlinked operating environment. In this context,

the highly complex and rigid nature of the obligations under the various regimes present heightened

operational and compliance risks for the Group. Regulators around the world continue to mature their

compliance framework and have a strong focus on enforcement of financial penalties, alongside other

more general tax risk framework implications which may result in additional reputational damage in the

event of failures. Accordingly, compliance with global customer tax transparency regimes continues to

be a key area of focus for the Group.

Ongoing OECD government level peer reviews and regulatory FI compliance reviews continue to

increase the scrutiny on FIs, resulting in further tightening of existing obligations and focus on CRS

compliance. Each country of adoption is being pushed by the OECD to ensure its penalty regime is

sufficient to deter and penalise non-compliance.

Under FATCA and other U.S. Treasury Regulations, the Group could be subject to:

62
a 30 per cent. withholding tax on certain amounts (including amounts payable to customers),

and be required to provide certain information to upstream payers, as well as other adverse

consequences, if the ongoing detailed obligations are not adequately met; and

broader compliance issues, significant withholding exposure, competitive disadvantage and

other operational impacts if the FATCA Intergovernmental Agreements between the United

States and the applicable jurisdictions in which the Group operates cease to be in effect.

Under the CRS, the Group:

faces challenges in developing countries where the Group has operations, such as the Pacific

region. The local regulators in these countries are generally assisted by a 'partner' country

which may introduce standards that can be challenging to implement;

must deal with considerable country specific variations in local law and regulatory

implementation, with significant boarder 'justified trust' ramifications and penalties for non-

collection or failed reporting in respect of prescribed customer information; and

along with other FIs, is under increasingly stringent regulatory scrutiny and measures as

regulators have turned their focus from the initial establishment of the CRS to the

effectiveness of FI implementation. This tightening of the regulatory focus can lead to

significant negative experience for affected customers (including unilateral account

blocking and closure, and potential direct customer penalties), may adversely affect the

Group's Position and if not similarly implemented by other FIs, may present a significant

competitive disadvantage.

The scale and complexity of the Group, like other FIs, means that the risk of inadvertent non-compliance

with the FATCA, CRS and other tax reporting regimes is high. A failure to successfully operate the

implemented processes could lead to legal, financial and reputational consequences for the Group and

its employees. Consequences include fines, criminal and civil penalties, civil claims, reputational harm,

competitive disadvantage, loss of business and constraints on doing business.

On a global scale, natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in challenges for staff

access to systems, tools and information, and have impacted the delivery of the Group's regulatory

obligations on requisite timeframes, including mandatory FATCA and CRS regulatory reporting,

customer follow-up strategies, resolution and action of regulatory recommendations, as well as

continuous improvement activities required to achieve the zero rate of error expected by regulators. The

Group's global taxation obligations in relation to the enterprise's own tax lodgements and payments may

similarly be impacted. While some level of leniency from global regulators is anticipated, there is still

an increasing risk of additional regulatory scrutiny, associated penalties and reputational ramifications

resulting from any deficiencies or delays in meeting regulatory obligations to the level of quality and

within the timeframes required.

These consequences, individually or collectively, may adversely affect the Group's Position.

Unexpected changes to the Group's licence to operate in any jurisdiction may adversely affect the

Group's Position

The Group is licensed to operate in various countries, states and territories. Unexpected changes in the

conditions of the licenses to operate by governments, administrations or regulatory agencies that prohibit

or restrict the Group from trading in a manner that was previously permitted may adversely impact the

Group's Position.

Internal control, operations and reputational risk

Operational risk events may adversely affect the Group's Position

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

63
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 (see the risk factor "Reputational risk events as well as operational failures

and regulatory compliance failures may give rise to reputational risk, which may undermine

the trust of stakeholders, erode the Group's brand and adversely affect the Group's

Position");

cyber risk (see the risk factors "Disruption of information technology systems or failure to

successfully implement new technology systems could significantly interrupt the Group's

business, which may adversely affect the Group's Position" and "Risks associated with

information security including cyber-attacks, may adversely affect the Group's Position");

conduct and culture risks (see the risk factor "Conduct risk events may adversely affect the

Group's Position");

damage to physical assets;

execution, delivery and process management (for example, processing errors or data

management failures); and

financial crime (see the risk factor "Significant fines and sanctions in the event of breaches

of law or regulation relating to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing and

sanctions may adversely affect the Group's Position").

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 Group must also maintain "operational risk capital" reserves in the

event future operational events occur.

COVID-19 related challenges have resulted in a number of changes to how the Group undertakes its

operations including adapting to remote working arrangements. The 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 Group's

systems and service availability, which could affect the Group's technology assets as well as third party

technology suppliers and critical services on which the 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.

64
Human Capital Risk, which relates to the inability to attract, develop, motivate and retain the Group's

people to meet current and future business needs, could result in poor financial and customer

outcomes and reduce the ability of the Group to deliver against customer and other stakeholders'

expectations

Key executives, employees and Directors play an integral role in the operation of the Group's business

and its pursuit of its strategic objectives. The unexpected departure of an individual in a key role, or the

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.

Reputational risk events as well as operational failures and regulatory compliance failures may give

rise to reputational risk, which may undermine the trust of stakeholders, erode the Group's brand and

adversely affect the Group's Position

The Group's reputation is a valuable asset and a key contributor to the support that it receives from the

community in respect of its business initiatives and its ability to raise funding or capital.

Reputational risk may arise as a result of an external event or the Group's actual or perceived actions and

practices, which include operational and regulatory compliance failures. The occurrence of such events

may adversely affect perceptions about the Group held by the public (including the Group's customers),

shareholders, investors, regulators or rating agencies. The impact of a risk event on the Group's reputation

may exceed any direct cost of the risk event itself and may adversely impact the Group's Position.

The Group may incur reputational damage where one of its practices fails to meet community

expectations which are continually changing and evolving. As these expectations may exceed the

standard required in order to comply with applicable law, the Group may incur reputational damage even

where it has met its legal obligations. A divergence between community expectations and the Group's

practices could arise in a number of ways, including in relation to its product and services disclosure

practices, pricing policies and use of data. Further, the Group's reputation may also be adversely affected

by community perception of the broader financial services industry. Additionally, reputational damage

may also arise from the Group's failure to effectively manage risks, enforcement or supervisory action

by regulators, adverse findings from regulatory reviews and failure or perceived failure to adequately

respond to community, environmental and ethical issues.

While impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are ongoing, and the longer-term financial and non-financial

effects are yet to be fully realised, it is possible there may be unintended consequences from the Group's

actions which may give rise to negative perceptions about the Group.

Additionally, certain operational and regulatory compliance failures or perceived failures, may give rise

to reputational risk. Such operational and regulatory compliance failures include, but are not limited to:

failures related to fulfilment of identification obligations;

failures related to new product development;

failures related to ongoing product monitoring activities;

failures related to suitability requirements when products are sold outside of the target

market;

market manipulation or anti-competitive behaviour;

failure to comply with disclosure obligations;

inappropriate crisis management/response to a crisis event;

inappropriate handling of customer complaints;

inappropriate third party arrangements;

65
privacy breaches; and

unexpected risks (e.g. credit, market, operational or compliance).

Damage to the Group's reputation may have wide-ranging impacts, including adverse effects on the

Group's profitability, capacity and cost of funding, increased regulatory scrutiny, regulatory enforcement

actions, additional legal risks and availability of new business opportunities. The Group's ability to attract

and retain customers could also be adversely affected if the Group's reputation is damaged, which may

adversely affect the Group's Position.

Conduct risk events may adversely affect the Group's Position

The Group defines conduct risk as the risk of loss or damage arising from the failure of the Group, its

employees or agents to appropriately consider the interests of consumers, the integrity of the financial

markets, and the expectations of the community in conducting the Group's business activities.

Conduct risks include:

the provision of unsuitable or inappropriate advice to customers;

the representation of, or disclosure about, a product or service which is inaccurate, or does

not provide adequate information about risks and benefits to customers;

a failure to deliver product features and benefits in accordance with terms, disclosures,

recommendations and/or advice;

a failure to appropriately avoid or manage conflicts of interest;

inadequate management of complaints or remediation processes;

a failure to respect and comply with duties to customers in financial hardship; and

unauthorised trading activities in financial markets, in breach of the Group's policies and

standards.

There has been an increasing regulatory and community focus on conduct risk, including in Australia

and New Zealand. The Group has a centralised and dedicated team tasked with undertaking a variety of

customer remediation programs, including to address specific conduct issues identified in Group reviews.

Conduct risk events may expose the Group to regulatory actions, restrictions or conditions on banking

licenses and/or reputational consequences that may adversely affect the Group's Position. It is possible

that remediation programs may not be implemented appropriately or may lead to further remediation

work being required, resulting in litigation, regulatory action and/or increasing cost to the Group, all of

which may adversely affect the Group's Position.

For further discussion of the increasing regulatory focus on conduct risk, see the risk factors entitled

"Regulatory changes or a failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies may adversely affect the

Group's Position" and "Litigation and contingent liabilities may adversely affect the Group's Position".

Disruption of information technology systems or failure to successfully implement new technology

systems could significantly interrupt the Group's business, which may adversely affect the Group's

Position

The Group's day-to-day activities and its service offerings (including digital banking) are highly

dependent on information technology ("IT") systems. Disruption of IT systems, or the services the Group

uses or is dependent upon, may result in the Group failing to meet its compliance obligations and/or

customers' banking requirements.

The Group has an ongoing obligation to maintain its IT systems and to identify, assess and respond to

risk exposures caused by the use of technology including IT asset lifecycle, IT asset project delivery,

technology resilience, technology security, use of third parties, data retention/restoration or business

rules and automation. Inadequate responses to these risk exposures could lead to unstable or insecure

66
systems or a decrease in the Group's ability to service its customers, increased costs, and non-compliance

with regulatory requirements, which may adversely affect the Group's Position. As an example, in

response to the COVID-19 pandemic, more of the Group's staff and third-party contractors are working

remotely or from alternative work sites, which has put additional stress on the Group's productivity and

remote access to systems.

The Group has incident response, disaster recovery and business continuity measures in place designed

to ensure that critical IT systems will continue to operate during both short-term and prolonged disruption

events for all businesses across the Group's network, including ANZ New Zealand, which relies on the

Group to provide a number of IT systems. A failure of the Group's systems may affect ANZ's network,

which may in turn, adversely affect the Group's Position. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted that

these arrangements must cater for vast and improbable events, and ensure critical information systems

can be supported and accessed by a large number of technology and business users for extended periods.

If such measures cannot be effectively implemented, this may adversely affect the Group's Position.

In addition, the Group must implement and integrate new technology systems, most notably Cloud

technologies, into the existing technology landscape to ensure that the Group's technology environment

is cost-effective and can support evolving customer requirements. Inadequate implementation and

integration of these systems, incorrect assessments of the risks they pose or improper management of the

supply chain for new technologies may adversely affect the Group's Position.

This risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factor entitled "Risks associated with

information security including cyber-attacks, may adversely affect the Group's Position" as information

security breaches and cyber-attacks have the potential to result in the disruption of information

technology systems.

Risks associated with information security including cyber-attacks, may adversely affect the Group's

Position

The primary focus of information security is to protect information and technology systems from

disruptions to confidentiality, integrity or availability. As a bank, the 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 Group operates. This information is processed and stored on

both internal and third party hosted environments. Any failure of security controls operated by the Group

or its third parties could adversely affect the 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 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 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 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 Group's ability to retain and attract customers, and thus may adversely affect the Group's

Position.

Modelling risks may adversely affect the Group's Position

As a large financial institution, the Group relies on a number of models for material business decisions

including but not limited to calculating capital requirements, provision levels, customer compensation

67
payments and stressing exposures. If the models used prove to be inadequately designed, implemented

or maintained or based on incorrect assumptions or inputs this may adversely impact the Group's

Position.

Environmental, social and governance risks

Impact of future climate events, geological events, plant, animal and human diseases, and other

extrinsic events may adversely affect the Group's Position

The 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 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 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 2019/2020, and severe flooding in 2021. The impact of these events can

be widespread, extending beyond primary producers to customers of the 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 Group may be exacerbated by a decline in the value and liquidity of

assets held as collateral, which may impact the 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 Group branch or business centres or Group services, and

may also adversely affect the 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 Group engages in certain activities or offer certain products.

The Group's risk management framework may fail to manage all existing risks appropriately or detect

new and emerging risks fast enough, which could adversely affect the Group's Position

Risk management is an integral part of the Group's activities and includes the identification and

monitoring of the Group's risk appetite and reporting on the Group's risk profile and effectiveness of

identified controls. However, there can be no assurance that the Group's risk management framework

will be effective in all instances including in respect of existing risks, or new and emerging risks that the

Group may not anticipate or identify in a timely manner and/or for which its controls may not be

effective. Failure to manage risks effectively could adversely impact the Group's reputation or

compliance with regulatory obligations.

The effectiveness of the Group's risk management framework is also connected to the establishment and

maintenance of a sound risk management culture, which is supported by appropriate remuneration

structures. A failure in designing or effectively implementing appropriate remuneration structures, could

have an adverse impact on the Group's risk culture and effectiveness of the Group's risk management

frameworks.

The Group seeks to continuously improve its risk management frameworks. It has implemented, and

regularly reviews, its risk management policies and allocates additional resources across the Group to

manage and mitigate risks (including conduct risk). However, such efforts may not insulate the Group

from future instances of misconduct and no assurance can be given that the Group's risk management

framework will be effective. A failure in the Group's risk management processes or governance could

result in the Group suffering unexpected losses and reputational damage, and failing to comply with

regulatory obligations, which could adversely affect the Group's Position.

While these principles continue to underpin the Group's risk management framework, the ongoing

COVID-19 pandemic requires the Group to continue to maintain good practices and a robust risk

management framework as its operational activities continue to evolve, so as to manage the impacts of

68
the pandemic both to its workforce and customers. In these circumstances, a failure in the Group's risk

management processes or governance could adversely affect the Group's Position.

Risks associated with lending to customers that could be directly or indirectly impacted by climate risk

may adversely affect the Group's Position

The risks associated with climate change are subject to increasing regulatory, political and societal focus,

including in Australia and New Zealand. APRA has released a draft prudential practice guide that is

designed to assist regulated entities (including the Group) in managing climate-related risks and

opportunities as part of their existing risk management and governance frameworks. APRA is also

conducting its first climate vulnerability assessment in calendar year 2021 to (i) assess banks' potential

financial exposure to climate risk; (ii) understand how banks may adjust business models and implement

management actions in response to different scenarios; and (iii) foster improvement in climate risk

management capabilities. Similarly, the RBNZ is increasing its focus on climate change and in October

2021 released its Climate Change Report 2021. The Climate Change Report 2021 outlines the RBNZ’s

approach to climate change, including future actions to further incorporate climate change into stress

testing and embed climate change into supervisory frameworks, data collection and internal planning.

The Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 will require

ANZBGL and ANZ New Zealand, as 'climate reporting entities', to annually prepare, seek independent

assurance for and make public disclosures on the management of, and effects of climate change to their

business, in accordance with climate-related disclosure standards, to be issued by the New Zealand

External Reporting Board. Embedding climate change risk into the Group's risk management framework

in line with APRA's and other stakeholders' expectations and adapting the Group's operation and business

strategy to address both the risks and opportunities posed by climate change and the transition to a low

carbon economy, could have a significant impact on the Group.

The Group's most material climate-related risks result from its lending to business and retail customers,

including credit-related losses incurred as a result of a customer being unable or unwilling to repay debt,

or impacting the value and liquidity of collateral, which may adversely affect the Group's Position. The

risk to the Group from credit-related issues with the Group's customers could result directly from climate-

related events, and indirectly from changes to laws, regulations, or other policies such as carbon pricing

and climate risk adaptation or mitigation policies, which may impact the customer's supply chain.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN RELATION TO NZ SUBORDINATED NOTES

NZ Subordinated Notes issued under the Programme are subject to regulatory requirements relating to

their redemption or amendments to their terms and are subordinate in right of payment to certain other

obligations of ANZ New Zealand.

Redemption and amendment

Redemption and amendment of the NZ Subordinated Notes are subject to certain conditions, including

(in the case of redemption) the prior written approval of the RBNZ.

ANZ New Zealand may not redeem any NZ Subordinated Note prior to its stated maturity date or

purchase, or procure that any members of the ANZ New Zealand Group purchase, any NZ Subordinated

Notes without the prior written approval of the RBNZ. Investors in Subordinated Notes should not expect

that the RBNZ's approval will be given for any redemption or purchase of an NZ Subordinated Note.

Additionally, ANZ New Zealand will not be permitted to redeem any NZ Subordinated Note unless:

(i)either:

(a)the NZ Subordinated Notes are replaced concurrently or beforehand with paid-up

Regulatory Capital of the same or better quality and contributing at least the same

regulatory capital amount (for the purposes of the RBNZ's capital adequacy

requirements applying to ANZ New Zealand at the time of the redemption) and the

terms and conditions of the replacement instrument are sustainable for the income

capacity of the ANZ New Zealand Group; or

(b)if ANZ New Zealand does not intend to replace the NZ Subordinated Notes the subject

of the redemption, ANZ New Zealand has demonstrated to the RBNZ's satisfaction

that, after the redemption, the ANZ New Zealand Group's capital ratios would be

sufficiently above their respective minimums and the prudential capital buffer ratio

would be sufficiently above its buffer trigger ratio; and

(ii)ANZ New Zealand has provided any information and supporting documentation

required by the RBNZ's prudential regulatory requirements to the RBNZ.

ANZ New Zealand must give the RBNZ at least five working days' prior notice of any modification,

amendment or supplement in relation to an NZ Subordinated Note or any consent, waiver or other action

that will have the effect of amending an NZ Subordinated Note. Such notification must be accompanied

by, among other things, a signed opinion from ANZ New Zealand's New Zealand legal counsel

confirming that, once the modification, amendment, supplement, consent or waiver (as applicable) is in

effect, the NZ Subordinated Notes will continue to qualify as Tier 2 Capital. ANZ New Zealand would

not be able to comply with the RBNZ notification requirement and, consequently, no modification,

amendment, supplement, consent or waiver (as applicable) could be made or given if the effect of any

such modification, amendment, supplement, consent or waiver (as applicable) would be that the NZ

Subordinated Notes would no longer qualify as Tier 2 Capital. In addition, any Successor Rate,

Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or Benchmark Amendments made pursuant to the Conditions will

be subject to ANZ New Zealand giving the RBNZ at least five working days' prior notice in each case.

Such notification must be accompanied by, among other things, a signed opinion from ANZ New

Zealand's New Zealand legal counsel confirming that, once the Successor Rate, Alternative Rate,

Adjustment Spread or Benchmark Amendments (as applicable) is in effect, the NZ Subordinated Notes

will continue to qualify as Tier 2 Capital. ANZ New Zealand would not be able to comply with the RBNZ

notification requirement and, consequently, no Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or

Benchmark Amendments (as applicable) in respect of NZ Subordinated Notes could be applied, if any

such Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or Benchmark Amendments (as applicable)

would have the effect of increasing the Rate of Interest contrary to applicable prudential regulatory

requirements.

No set-off

70
Neither ANZ New Zealand nor an NZ Subordinated Noteholder has any contractual right to set-off any

sum at any time due and payable to an NZ Subordinated Noteholder or ANZ New Zealand (as applicable)

under or in relation to the NZ Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the NZ Subordinated

Noteholder to ANZ New Zealand or by ANZ New Zealand to the NZ Subordinated Noteholder (as

applicable).

Status and subordination of NZ Subordinated Notes

The NZ Subordinated Notes constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of ANZ New

Zealand ranking equally among themselves. In the event of the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand and

prior to the commencement of the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, the principal amount of, any interest

on, and any other payments in respect of the NZ Subordinated Notes will rank behind all claims of Senior

Creditors, pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities and ahead of Junior Ranking Securities.

"Equal Ranking Securities" means all securities, instruments and other obligations that qualify as Tier

2 Capital or which rank or are expressed to rank equally with such securities, instruments or other

obligations in a liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, present and future.

"Junior Ranking Securities" means:

(i)all fully paid securities and other instruments that qualify as Tier 1 Capital (including ordinary

shares and perpetual preference shares), present and future; and

(ii)all other securities and other instruments which rank or are expressed to rank behind Equal

Ranking Securities, present and future.

"Senior Creditors" means a creditor (including a depositor) of ANZ New Zealand to whom ANZ New

Zealand is indebted in respect of deposits and other liabilities, securities, instruments and other

obligations of ANZ New Zealand other than Equal Ranking Securities or Junior Ranking Securities,

present and future.

Prior to the stated maturity of the NZ Subordinated Notes or the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, the

obligation of ANZ New Zealand to make payments (including of any principal and interest) on the NZ

Subordinated Notes will be conditional on ANZ New Zealand being Solvent (as defined in Condition

4(p) (Definitions) at the time of, and immediately after, such payment by ANZ New Zealand. Any such

failure to pay will not be considered an event of default for the purposes of the NZ Subordinated Notes.

For further information see, "Risk Factors—Risks releated to the Notes—Risks related to NZ

Subordinated Notes issued under the Programme".

1.Form, Denomination and Title

The Notes are issued in (i) bearer form ("Bearer Notes"), (ii) in registered form ("Registered Notes")

or (iii) in uncertificated and dematerialised book entry form registered in the Norwegian Central

Securities Depository, Verdipapirsentralen ASA or VPS ("VPS Notes" and the "VPS", respectively), in

each case in the Specified Currency and in the denomination specified in the applicable Final Terms (the

"Specified Denomination"). All Registered Notes shall have the same Specified Denomination. An NZ

Subordinated Note cannot be a VPS Note.

This Note is a Fixed Rate Note, a Floating Rate Note, a Zero Coupon Note, an Inverse Floating Rate

Note, a Range Accrual Note, an Instalment Note, or a combination of any of the foregoing or may be an

NZ Subordinated Note or any other relevant type of Note (as permitted by these Conditions), depending

upon the Interest Basis or Redemption/Payment Basis or, in the case of an NZ Subordinated Note,

depending on whether "NZ Subordinated Notes" is specified as applicable in the Final Terms. Notes

issued as NZ Subordinated Notes must not be Zero Coupon Notes, Inverse Floating Rate Notes, Range

Accrual Notes, Instalment Notes, CMS Rate Notes or any combination of any of the foregoing.

Bearer Notes are serially numbered and are issued with Coupons (and, where appropriate, a Talon)

attached, save in the case of Zero Coupon Notes in which case references to interest (other than in relation

to interest due after the Maturity Date), Coupons and Talons in these Conditions are not applicable.

Instalment Notes are issued with one or more Receipts attached.

Registered Notes are represented by registered certificates ("Certificates") and, save as provided in

Condition 2(c), each Certificate shall represent the entire holding of Registered Notes by the same holder.

Title to the Bearer Notes and the Receipts, Coupons and Talons shall pass by delivery. Title to the

Registered Notes shall, subject to mandatory rules of law, pass by registration in the register that the

Issuer shall procure to be kept by the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of the Agency

Agreement (the "Register"). Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by

law, the holder (as defined below) of any Certificate, Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon shall be deemed

to be and may be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes, whether or not it is overdue and regardless

of any notice of ownership, trust or interest in it, any writing on it (or on the Certificate representing it)

or its theft or loss (or that of the related Certificate) and no person shall be liable for so treating the holder.

74
Title to VPS Notes will pass by registration in the registers between the direct or indirect accountholders

at the VPS in accordance with the Norwegian Securities Registry Act of 5th July, 2002 (No.

verdipapirregisterloven) (the "VPS Act") and the rules and procedures of the VPS. The holder of a VPS

Note will be the person evidenced as such by a book entry in the records of the VPS. The person

evidenced (including any nominee) as a holder of the VPS Notes shall be treated as the holder of such

VPS Notes for the purposes of payment of principal or interest on such Notes and for all other purposes.

The expressions "Noteholders" and "holder of Notes" and related expressions shall, in each case, be

construed accordingly. Any references in these Terms and Conditions to Coupons, Talons,

Couponholders, Global Notes, Bearer Notes, Certificates, Receipts, Receiptholders, Registered Global

Notes, Registered Notes, Bearer Global Notes, Permanent Global Notes, Temporary Global Notes and

Notes in definitive form (or, in each case, similar expressions) shall not apply to VPS Notes.

In these Conditions, "Noteholder" means the bearer of any Bearer Note and the Coupons, Talons and

Receipts relating to it or the person in whose name a Registered Note is registered or in relation to any

VPS Notes, is to be construed as provided above in this Condition 1 (as the case may be), and "NZ

Subordinated Noteholder" means the Noteholder of an NZ Subordinated Note and the Receipts relating

to it or, where the NZ Subordinated Note is a Registered Note, the person in whose name it is registered

and "holder" (in relation to a Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon) means the bearer of any Bearer Note,

Receipt, Coupon or Talon, the person in whose name a Registered Note is registered or in relation to any

VPS Notes, is to be construed as provided above in this Condition 1 (as the case may be).

2.Exchange and Transfers of Notes

(a)Exchange of Notes

Registered Notes may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes and vice versa. Bearer Notes of one Specified

Denomination may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes of another Specified Denomination. Notes (other

than VPS Notes) may not be exchanged for VPS Notes and vice versa.

(b)Transfer of Registered Notes

Registered Notes may be transferred upon the surrender (at the specified office of the Registrar or any

Transfer Agent) of the Certificate representing such Registered Notes to be transferred, together with the

form of transfer endorsed on such Certificate duly completed and executed and such other evidence as

the Registrar or Transfer Agent may reasonably require. In the case of a transfer of part only of a holding

of Registered Notes represented by one Certificate, a new Certificate shall be issued to the transferee in

respect of the part transferred and a further new Certificate in respect of the balance of the holding not

transferred shall be issued to the transferor.

(c)Exercise of Options or Partial Redemption in Respect of Registered Notes

In the case of an exercise of an Issuer's or Noteholder's option in respect of, or a partial redemption of, a

holding of Registered Notes represented by a single Certificate, a new Certificate shall be issued to the

holder to reflect the exercise of such option or in respect of the balance of the holding not redeemed. In

the case of a partial exercise of an option resulting in Registered Notes of the same holding having

different terms, separate Certificates shall be issued in respect of those Notes of that holding that have

the same terms. New Certificates shall only be issued against surrender of the existing Certificates to the

Registrar or any Transfer Agent. In the case of a transfer of Registered Notes to a person who is already

a holder of Registered Notes, a new Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued

against surrender of the Certificate representing the existing holding.

(d)Delivery of New Certificates

Each new Certificate to be issued pursuant to Condition 2(b) or (c) shall be available for delivery five

business days after receipt of the request for exchange, form of transfer or Exercise Notice or surrender

of the Certificate for exchange. Delivery of the new Certificate(s) shall be made at the specified office

of the Transfer Agent or of the Registrar (as the case may be) to whom delivery or surrender of such

request for exchange, form of transfer, Exercise Notice or Certificate shall have been made or, at the

option of the holder making such delivery or surrender as aforesaid and as specified in the relevant

request for exchange, form of transfer, Exercise Notice or otherwise in writing, be mailed by uninsured

75
post at the risk of the holder entitled to the new Certificate to such address as may be so specified, unless

such holder requests otherwise and pays in advance to the relevant Agent (as defined in the Agency

Agreement) the costs of such other method of delivery and/or such insurance as it may specify. In this

Condition 2(d), "business day" means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks are open

for business in the location of the specified office of the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent (as the

case may be).

(e)Exchange Free of Charge

Exchange and transfer of Notes and Certificates on registration, transfer, partial redemption or exercise

of an option shall be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Registrar or the Transfer

Agents, but upon payment of any tax, duty or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation

to it (or the giving of such indemnity as the Issuer, the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent may

require).

(f)Closed Period

No Noteholder may require the transfer of a Registered Note to be registered (i) during the period of 15

days ending on the due date for redemption of, or payment of any Instalment Amount in respect of, that

Note, (ii) during the period of 15 days before any date on which Notes may be called for redemption by

the Issuer at its option pursuant to Condition 5(f), (iii) after any such Note has been called for redemption

or (iv) during the period of seven days ending on (and including) any Record Date.

3.Status and Guarantee

None of the Notes are deposit liabilities or protected accounts of ANZBGL for the purposes of the

Banking Act 1959 of Australia (the "Banking Act").

(a)Status of the Notes (other thanNZ Subordinated Notes)

The Notes (other than NZ Subordinated Notes) and the Receipts and Coupons relating to them constitute

direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and (save for certain debts of the Issuer

required to be preferred by law, including but not limited to, where the Issuer is ANZBGL, those referred

to in Divisions 2 and 2AA of Part II of the Banking Act and section 86 of the Reserve Bank Act 1959 of

Australia) rank pari passu among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated, unsecured

obligations of the Issuer.

The debts which are preferred by law to the claim of a Noteholder in respect of a Note, including by

virtue of the provisions referred to in the above paragraph of Condition 3(a), will be substantial and are

not limited by the Conditions of the Notes. Without limitation to other applicable laws, in the case of

Notes issued by ANZBGL, section 13A(3) of the Banking Act provides that, in the event ANZBGL becomes

unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment, its assets in Australia are to be available to meet

ANZBGL's liabilities in the following order: (i) liabilities to the Australian Prudential Regulation

Authority ("APRA") in respect of any payments that APRA makes or is liable to make to (A) holders of

protected accounts under the Banking Act or (B) a body corporate pursuant to a determination made by

APRA in connection with a transfer of the ADI's business to that body corporate (where that transfer

includes liabilities of the ADI in respect of protected accounts) under the Financial Sector (Transfer and

Restructure) Act 1999 of Australia, (ii) debts in respect of costs of APRA in certain circumstances, (iii)

ANZBGL's liabilities in Australia in relation to protected accounts (as defined in the Banking Act) kept

with ANZBGL, (iv) debts due to the Reserve Bank of Australia ("RBA")), (v) liabilities under certain

certified industry support contracts; and (vi) all other liabilities of ANZBGL in their order of priority

apart from section 13A(3). Changes to applicable law may extend the debts required to be preferred by

law.

Notes which are not subordinated will rank senior to the Issuer's subordinated obligations, including,

where the Issuer is ANZ New Zealand, the NZ Subordinated Notes.

76
(b)NZ Subordinated Notes – ANZ New Zealand

The NZ Subordinated Notes and the Receipts and Coupons relating to them may only be issued by ANZ

New Zealand, and will constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of ANZ New Zealand.

In the event of the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand (see Condition 10) and prior to the commencement

of the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand (see Condition 4(v)) the Principal Amount of, any interest on,

and any other payments in respect of the NZ Subordinated Notes will rank behind all claims of Senior

Creditors, pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities and ahead of Junior Ranking Securities.

"Equal Ranking Securities" means all securities, instruments and other obligations that qualify as Tier

2 Capital or which rank or are expressed to rank equally with such securities, instruments or other

obligations in a liquidation of ANZ New Zealand, present and future.

"Junior Ranking Securities" means:

(i)all fully paid securities and other instruments that qualify as Tier 1 Capital (including ordinary

shares and perpetual preference shares), present and future; and

(ii)all other securities and other instruments which rank or are expressed to rank behind Equal

Ranking Securities, present and future.

"Senior Creditors" means a creditor (including a depositor) of ANZ New Zealand to whom ANZ New

Zealand is indebted in respect of deposits and other liabilities, securities, instruments and other

obligations of ANZ New Zealand other than Equal Ranking Securities or Junior Ranking Securities,

present and future.

In a liquidation of ANZ New Zealand an NZ Subordinated Noteholder's claim for an amount owing by

ANZ New Zealand in connection with an NZ Subordinated Note is subordinated to the claims of Senior

Creditors of ANZ New Zealand, in that:

(i)all claims of Senior Creditors must be paid in full before the NZ Subordinated Noteholder's claim

is paid; and

(ii)until the Senior Creditors have been paid in full, the NZ Subordinated Noteholder must not claim

in the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand 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.

By its purchase of an NZ Subordinated Note, each NZ Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably

acknowledges and agrees:

(i)that ANZ New Zealand's obligations in respect of the NZ Subordinated Note are subordinated to

the payment of Senior Creditors, in the manner provided above;

(ii)that, in accordance with section 313(3) of the Companies Act 1993 (New Zealand) (the

"Companies Act"), it is accepting a lower priority in respect of the debt represented by the NZ

Subordinated Note than that which it would otherwise have under section 313 of the Companies

Act;

(iii)that nothing in sections 310 or 313 of the Companies Act will prevent these Conditions from

having effect in accordance with their terms;

(iv)not to exercise its voting rights as an unsecured creditor in the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand

to defeat the subordination in this Condition 3(b);

(v)that it must pay or deliver to the liquidator any amount or asset received on account of its claim

in the liquidation of ANZ New Zealand in respect of the NZ Subordinated Note in excess of its

entitlement under this Condition 3(b);

(vi)that the subordination effected by this Condition 3(b) is not affected by any act or omission of

ANZ New Zealand or a Senior Creditor which might otherwise affect it at law or in equity; and

77
(vii)neither ANZ New Zealand nor an NZ Subordinated Noteholder has any contractual right to set-

off any sum at any time due and payable to an NZ Subordinated Noteholder or ANZ New Zealand

(as applicable) under or in relation to the NZ Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the

NZ Subordinated Noteholder to ANZ New Zealand or by ANZ New Zealand to the NZ

Subordinated Noteholder (as applicable).

The NZ Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of liabilities ranking senior to the NZ Subordinated

Notes which may be hereafter incurred or assumed by ANZ New Zealand.

Claims of NZ Subordinated Noteholders are also subject to the priority of certain debts preferred by law.

Nothing in this Condition 3(b) shall be taken to require the consent of any Senior Creditor to any

amendment of this Condition 3(b).

(c)Guarantee — by ANZ New Zealand (in respect of Notes issued by ANZNIL)

Where the relevant Issuer is ANZNIL, the Guarantor has in the Deed of Guarantee unconditionally and

irrevocably guaranteed the due and punctual payment of all amounts due by ANZNIL under or in respect

of the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable. This Guarantee of the Notes constitutes

direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Guarantor which (save for certain debts of the

Guarantor required to be preferred by law) will at all times rank pari passu among themselves and equally

with all other unsubordinated, unsecured obligations of the Guarantor. The Notes issued by ANZ New

Zealand and ANZNIL are not guaranteed by ANZBGL.

4.Interest and other Calculations

(a)Interest on Fixed Rate Notes

(i)Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding Principal Amount from, and including, the

Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Rate

of Interest, such interest being payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date. Such Interest

Payment Date(s) is/are either shown in the Final Terms as specified Interest Payment Dates or, if

no Interest Payment Date(s) is/are specified in the Final Terms, Interest Payment Date shall mean

each date which falls the number of months or other period shown in the Final Terms as the

specified Interest Period after the preceding Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the first

Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.

(ii)If a Fixed Coupon Amount or a Broken Amount is specified in the Final Terms, the amount of

interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount or, if

applicable, the Broken Amount so specified and in the case of the Broken Amount will be payable

on the particular Interest Payment Date(s) specified in the Final Terms.

(iii)Calculation of Interest Amount: The Interest Amount payable in respect of each Note for any

period for which a Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount is not specified in the Final Terms

shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the Calculation Amount for such Note,

multiplying the product by the relevant Day Count Fraction, rounding the resulting figure to the

nearest unit of the Specified Currency (with halves being rounded up), save in the case of Yen,

which shall be rounded down to the nearest Yen, and multiplying such rounded figure by a fraction

equal to the Specified Denomination of such Note divided by the Calculation Amount. For this

purpose, a "unit" means, in the case of any currency other than euro, the lowest amount of such

currency that is available as legal tender in the country of such currency and, in the case of euro,

means 0.01 euro, as the case may be.

(iv)Business Day Convention: If "Business Day Convention – Adjusted" is specified to be applicable

in the relevant Final Terms, (a) any Interest Payment Date otherwise falling on a day which is not

a Business Day (as defined in Condition 4(p) below) will be postponed or brought forward (as

applicable) in accordance with the Business Day Convention set out in the relevant Final Terms

(as described below) and (b) the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will

be adjusted accordingly and the provisions of subparagraphs (g) and (h) (excluding the

determination and notification of the Rate of Interest) below shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as

78
though references to "Floating Rate Notes" were to "Fixed Rate Notes" and references to "Interest

Amounts" were to amounts of interest payable in respect of Fixed Rate Notes. If "Business Day

Convention – No Adjustment" is specified to be applicable in the relevant Final Terms, any

Interest Payment Date otherwise falling on a day which is not a Business Day will be postponed

or brought forward (as applicable) in accordance with the Business Day Convention set out in the

relevant Final Terms (as described below) and there will be no corresponding adjustment of the

amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date.

(b)Interest on Floating Rate Notes

(i)Interest Payment Dates: Each Floating Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding Principal

Amount from, and including, the Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed

as a percentage) equal to the Rate of Interest, such interest being payable in arrear on each Interest

Payment Date. Such Interest Payment Date(s) is/are either shown in the Final Terms as specified

Interest Payment Dates or, if no Interest Payment Date(s) is/are specified in the Final Terms,

Interest Payment Date shall mean each date which falls the number of months or other period

shown in the Final Terms as the specified Interest Period after the preceding Interest Payment

Date or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.

(ii)Business Day Convention: If any date referred to in these Conditions that is specified to be subject

to adjustment in accordance with a Business Day Convention would otherwise fall on a day that

is not a Business Day (as defined in Condition 4(p) below), then that date will be adjusted in

accordance with the Business Day Convention specified in the relevant Final Terms. If "No

Adjustment of Interest Amounts" is specified to be applicable in the relevant Final Terms then

notwithstanding the bringing forward or postponement (as applicable) of an Interest Payment Date

as a result of the application of the Business Day Convention set out in the relevant Final Terms,

the Interest Amount in respect of the relevant Interest Period and each subsequent Interest Period

shall be calculated as aforesaid on the basis of the original Interest Payment Dates without

adjustment in accordance with the applicable Business Day Convention.

(iii)Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Notes: The Rate of Interest in respect of Floating Rate Notes,

other than in the case of (x) BBSW Notes or BKBM Notes, provisions in respect of which are set

out in Condition 4(c) and Condition 4(d) below, (y) CMS Rate Notes, provisions in respect of

which are set out in Condition 4(e) below and (z) Inverse Floating Rate Notes, provisions in

respect of which are set out in Condition 4(f) below, for each Interest Accrual Period shall be

determined in the manner specified in the Final Terms and the provisions below relating to either

ISDA Determination or Screen Rate Determination shall apply depending upon which is specified

in the Final Terms.

(A) ISDA Determination for Floating Rate Notes

Where ISDA Determination is specified in the Final Terms as the manner in which the

Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Accrual Period

shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as a rate equal to the relevant ISDA Rate.

For the purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), "ISDA Rate" for an Interest Accrual Period

means a rate equal to the Floating Rate that would be determined by the Calculation

Agent under a Swap Transaction under the terms of an agreement incorporating the ISDA

Definitions and under which:

(x) the Floating Rate Option is as specified in the Final Terms;

(y) the Designated Maturity is a period specified in the Final Terms; and

(z) the relevant Reset Date is the first day of that Interest Accrual Period unless

otherwise specified in the Final Terms. For the purposes of this sub-paragraph

(A), "Floating Rate", "Calculation Agent", "Floating Rate Option",

"Designated Maturity", "Reset Date", and "Swap Transaction" have the

meanings given to those terms in the ISDA Definitions.

79
(B) Screen Rate/Reference Bank Determination for Floating Rate Notes other than Floating

Rate Notes referencing SONIA (Non-Index Determination), SONIA (Index

Determination), SOFR (Non-Index Determination) or SOFR (Index Determination)

In respect of Floating Rate Notes other than Floating Rate Notes where the Reference

Rate specified in the applicable Final Terms is SONIA (Non-Index Determination),

SONIA (Index Determination), SOFR (Non-Index Determination) or SOFR (Index

Determination):

(x) if Screen Rate Determination is specified in the applicable Final Terms as the

manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for

each Interest Accrual Period shall be (subject to Condition 4(m) (Benchmark

Replacement) and Condition 4(n) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event)) (as

determined by the Calculation Agent) on the following basis:

(I) if the Reference Rate is a composite quotation or a quotation customarily

supplied by one entity, the Calculation Agent will determine the Reference

Rate for the Specified Maturity and the Specified Currency which appears

on the Relevant Screen Page as of the Relevant Time on the relevant

Interest Determination Date; or

(II) in any other case, the Calculation Agent will determine the arithmetic

mean of the Reference Rates for the Specified Maturity and the Specified

Currency which appear on the Relevant Screen Page as of the Relevant

Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date;

(y) if sub-paragraph (x)(I) applies and no Reference Rate for the Specified Maturity

and the Specified Currency appears on the Relevant Screen Page at the Relevant

Time on the Interest Determination Date or if sub-paragraph (x)(II) applies and

fewer than two Reference Rates appear on the Relevant Screen Page at the

Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date or if, in either case, the

Relevant Screen Page is unavailable, subject as provided below:

(A) the Issuer will appoint a Reference Banks Agent and the Reference Banks

Agent will, at the request of the Issuer, request the principal Relevant

Financial Centre office of each of the Reference Banks (or such of them,

being at least two, as are so quoting) to provide a quotation of the

Reference Rate for the Specified Maturity and the Specified Currency at

approximately the Relevant Time on the Interest Determination Date to

leading banks in the Relevant Financial Centre interbank market in an

amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that

time and will provide such responses to the Calculation Agent; and

(B) the Calculation Agent will determine the arithmetic mean of such

quotations.

(z) if paragraph (y) above applies and the Reference Banks Agent advises the

Calculation Agent that fewer than two Reference Banks are so quoting the

Reference Rate for the Specified Maturity and the Specified Currency, subject as

provided below, the Calculation Agent shall determine the arithmetic mean of the

rates per annum (expressed as a percentage) quoted by at least two out of five

leading banks selected by the Reference Banks Agent (after consultation with the

Issuer) in the Principal Financial Centre of the country of the Specified Currency

and in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at

that time, in each case as selected by the Reference Banks Agent (after

consultation with the Issuer), at or about the Relevant Time for a period

commencing on the Effective Date equivalent to the relevant Interest Accrual

Period, for loans in the Specified Currency to leading banks carrying on business

in (I) Europe, or (II) (if the Reference Banks Agent advises the Calculation Agent

that fewer than two of such banks are so quoting to such leading banks in Europe),

80
the Principal Financial Centre, in either case, as provided by the Reference Banks

Agent to the Calculation Agent; provided, however, that if fewer than two of such

banks are so quoting to such leading banks or the Reference Banks Agent or the

Calculation Agent (as the case may be) is unable to determine a rate or (as the

case may be) the Calculation Agent is unable to determine an arithmetic mean in

accordance with the above provisions on any Interest Determination Date, the

Rate of Interest shall be the Rate of Interest determined on the previous Interest

Determination Date (after readjustment for any difference between any Margin,

Rate Multiplier or Maximum Rate of Interest or Minimum Rate of Interest

applicable to the preceding Interest Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest

Accrual Period).

(C) Screen Rate Determination for Floating Rate Notes where the Reference Rate specified

in the applicable Final Terms is SONIA (Non-Index Determination):

Where the Reference Rate is specified in the applicable Final Terms as being "SONIA

(Non-Index Determination)", the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will, as

provided below, be Compounded Daily SONIA as calculated by the Calculation Agent

(or the person specified in the applicable Final Terms as the party responsible for

calculating the Rate of Interest).

"Compounded Daily SONIA" means, in relation to any Interest Period, the rate of return

of a daily compound interest investment (with the daily Sterling Overnight Index

Average (SONIA) as the reference rate for the calculation of interest) and will be

calculated by the Calculation Agent (or the person specified in the applicable Final Terms

as the party responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest) on the Interest Determination

Date, as follows, and the resulting percentage will be rounded if necessary to the fifth

decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards:

"p", for any Interest Accrual Period, the number of London Banking Days included in

the Observation Look-Back Period, as specified in the applicable Final Terms, which

shall, unless otherwise agreed with the Calculation Agent (or such other person specified

in the applicable Final Terms as the Party responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest),

be no less than five London Banking Days;

the "SONIA reference rate", in respect of any London Banking Day, is a reference rate

equal to the daily Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate for such London

Banking Day as provided by the administrator of SONIA to authorised distributors and

unavailable, as otherwise published by such authorised distributors (on the London

Banking Day immediately following such London Banking Day); and

"SONIAi-pLBD" means, in respect of any London Banking Day falling in the relevant

Observation Period, the SONIA reference rate for the London Banking Day falling "p"

If, in respect of any London Banking Day in the relevant Observation Period, the

Calculation Agent (or the person specified in the applicable Final Terms as the party

responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest) determines that the SONIA reference rate

is not available on the Relevant Screen Page or has not otherwise been published by the

relevant authorised distributors, then (unless the Calculation Agent or such other person

specified in the applicable Final Terms as the party responsible for determining the Rate

of Interest) has been notified of any successor or alternative rate (together with any

relevant methodology or adjustment factor) pursuant to Condition 4(m) (Benchmark

Replacement), such SONIA reference rate shall be: (i) the Bank of England's Bank Rate

lowest spreads) to the Bank Rate.

In the event that the Rate of Interest cannot be determined in accordance with the

foregoing provisions, the Rate of Interest shall be (i) that determined as at the last

preceding Interest Determination Date (though substituting, where a different Margin or

Maximum Rate of Interest or Minimum Rate of Interest is to be applied to the relevant

Interest Accrual Period from that which applied to the last preceding Interest Accrual

Period, the Margin or Maximum Rate of Interest or Minimum Rate of Interest relating

to the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in place of the Margin or Maximum Rate of

Interest or Minimum Rate of Interest relating to that last preceding Interest Accrual

Date (but applying the Margin and any Maximum Rate of Interest or Minimum Rate of

Interest applicable to the first Interest Period).

If the relevant Series of Notes become due and payable in accordance with Condition 9,

the final Interest Determination Date shall, notwithstanding any Interest Determination

Date specified in the applicable Final Terms, be deemed to be the date on which such

Notes became due and payable and the Rate of Interest on such Notes shall, for so long

as any such Note remains outstanding, be that determined on such date.

(D) Screen Rate Determination for Floating Rate Notes where the Reference Rate specified

in the applicable Final Terms isSONIA (Index Determination):

relevant Interest Determination Date as follows, and the resulting percentage will be

rounded, if necessary, to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards:

where:

"Business Day" or "BD" means a London Banking Day;

"d" means the number of calendar days from (and including) the day in relation

to which SONIA Compounded Index

Start

is determined to (but excluding) the day

"SONIA Compounded Index" means the screen rate or index for compounded

daily SONIA rates administered by the administrator of the SONIA reference rate

that is published or displayed by such administrator or other information service

from time to time on the relevant Interest Determination Date, as further specified

SONIA Compounded Index determined in relation to the day falling the Relevant

Number of Business Days prior to (A) the Interest Payment Date for such Interest

Period, or (B) such other date on which the relevant payment of interest falls due

(but which by its definition or the operation of the relevant provisions is excluded

from such Interest Period).

If the relevant SONIA Compounded Index is not published or displayed by the

administrator of the SONIA reference rate or other information service by 5.00

p.m. (London time) (or, if later, by the time falling one hour after the customary

or scheduled time for publication thereof in accordance with the then-prevailing

83
operational procedures of the administrator of the Reference Rate or of such other

information service, as the case may be) on the relevant Interest Determination

Date, the Rate of Interest shall be calculated for the Interest Period for which the

SONIA Compounded Index is not available as if "SONIA (Non-Index

Determination)" were specified as applicable in the Final Terms and for these

purposes the "Observation Look-Back Period" shall be deemed to be equal to the

Relevant Number of Business Days, as if that alternative election had been made

in the applicable Final Terms. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Benchmark

Disruption Event has occurred in respect of the relevant SONIA Compounded

Index, the provisions of Condition 4(m) (Benchmark Replacement) shall apply.

CMS Rate on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the Mid-Market Quotations notified to it by the

Reference Banks Agent and which have been provided to the Reference Banks Agent by the CMS

Reference Banks at approximately the CMS Reference Time on the Interest Determination Date

in respect of such Interest Period by the Reference Banks Agent (at the request of the Issuer)

requesting the principal Relevant Financial Centre office of each of the CMS Reference Banks to

provide Mid-Market Quotations. If at least five Mid-Market Quotations are provided, the

Reference Banks Agent shall provide these to the Calculation Agent who will determine the

arithmetic mean of Mid-Market Quotations so provided by discarding the highest of such Mid-

Market Quotations (or in event of equality, one of the highest) and lowest of such Mid-Market

Quotations (or in event of equality, one of the lowest). If four Mid-Market Quotations are

provided, the Reference Banks Agent shall provide these to the Calculation Agent who will

determine the arithmetic mean of such Mid-Market Quotations provided. All calculations of the

arithmetic mean of the relevant number of Mid-Market Quotations provided pursuant to this

paragraph will be rounded to the nearest one thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.0005 being

rounded upwards; and

calculate the Interest Amounts in respect of each Specified Denomination of the Notes for the relevant

Interest Accrual Period, calculate the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Optional

Redemption Amount or Instalment Amount, obtain such quotation or make such determination or

calculation, as the case may be, and cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amounts for each Interest

Accrual Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date and, if required to be calculated, the Final

Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Optional Redemption Amount or any Instalment

Amount to be notified to the Fiscal Agent, the Issuer, the Guarantor (if applicable), each of the Paying

Agents, the Noteholders, the Registrar, any other Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Notes

that is to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information and, if the Notes are listed on a

stock exchange (and/or admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation on any other listing authority, stock

exchange and/or quotation system) and the rules of such listing authority, stock exchange and/or

quotation system so require, such listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system and, in the

case of VPS Notes, the VPS Trustee and the VPS Agent as soon as possible after their determination but

in no event later than (i) the commencement of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, if determined prior

to such time in the case of notification to such exchange of a Rate of Interest and Interest Amount, or (ii)

in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination. The notification of any rate or

amount, if applicable, shall be made to the VPS in accordance with and subject to the rules and

regulations of the VPS for the time being in effect. Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Accrual

Period is subject to adjustment pursuant to Condition 4(a)(iv) or Condition 4(b)(ii), the Interest Amounts

and the Interest Payment Date so published may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative

arrangements made by way of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of

the Interest Accrual Period. If the Calculation Amount is less than the minimum Specified Denomination,

the Calculation Agent shall not be obligated to publish each Interest Amount but instead may publish

only the Calculation Amount and the Interest Amount in respect of a Note having the minimum Specified

Denomination. If the Notes become due and payable under Condition 9 (Events of Default), the accrued

interest and the Rate of Interest payable in respect of the Notes shall nevertheless continue to be

calculated as previously in accordance with this Condition but no publication of the Rate of Interest or

the Interest Amount so calculated need be made. The determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining

of each quotation and the making of each determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent(s) or

such other person specified in the applicable Final Terms as the party responsible for making any such

calculation or determination shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

the applicable Final Terms is a rate other than U.S. Dollar LIBOR, SOFR (Non-Index Determination) or

SOFR (Index Determination). Notwithstanding the provisions above in Conditions 4(b), (c), (d), (e) and

(f), if the Issuer (in consultation with the Calculation Agent (or the person specified in the applicable

Final Terms as the party responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest)) determines that a Benchmark

Disruption Event has occurred when any Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) remains

to be determined by reference to such Reference Rate affected by the Benchmark Disruption Event, then

the following provisions shall apply:

(i)Independent Adviser

The Issuer shall use its reasonable endeavours to appoint and consult with an Independent

Adviser, as soon as reasonably practicable, with a view to the Independent Adviser

determining a Successor Rate, failing which an Alternative Rate (in accordance with

Condition 4(m)(ii)) and, in either case, an Adjustment Spread if any (in accordance with

Condition 4(m)(iv)) and any Benchmark Amendments (in accordance with Condition

4(m)(v)).

(ii)Successor Rate or Alternative Rate

If the Independent Adviser, following consultation with the Issuer and acting in good

faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines, no later than the IA

Determination Cut-off Date that: (A) there is a Successor Rate, then it shall notify the

Calculation Agent and the Calculation Agent shall use such Successor Rate (subject to

adjustment as provided in Condition 4(m)(iv)) in place of the Reference Rate to

determine the Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) for all future

payments of interest on the Notes (subject to the subsequent operation of this Condition

4(m)); or (B) there is no Successor Rate but that there is an Alternative Rate, then it shall

notify the Calculation Agent and the Calculation Agent shall use such Alternative Rate

(subject to adjustment as provided in Condition 4(m)(iv)) in place of the Reference Rate

to determine the Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) for all future

payments of interest on the Notes (subject to the subsequent operation of this Condition

4(m)).

(iii)Issuer Determination

If the Issuer is unable to appoint an Independent Adviser, or if the Independent Adviser

appointed by it fails to determine a Successor Rate or Alternative Rate prior to the IA

Determination Cut-off Date, then, if it elects to do so, the Issuer (acting in good faith and

in a commercially reasonable manner) may determine a Successor Rate or Alternative

Rate for the purposes of Condition 4(m)(ii);

(iv)Adjustment Spread

If the Independent Adviser, following consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the

case may be) and acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner,

determines (i) that an Adjustment Spread is required to be applied to the Successor Rate

or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be) and (ii) the quantum of, or a formula or

methodology for determining, such Adjustment Spread, then the Independent Adviser

(or the Issuer as the case may be) shall notify the Calculation Agent of such Adjustment

Spread and the Calculation Agent shall apply it to the Successor Rate or the Alternative

Rate (as the case may be).

(v)Benchmark Amendments

If any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate or Adjustment Spread is determined in

accordance with this Condition 4(m) and the Independent Adviser, following

consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may be), acting in good faith and

97
in a commercially reasonable manner, determines (i) that amendments to these

Conditions and/or the Agency Agreement and/or the VPS Trustee Agreement and/or any

other agreement or document relating to the Notes are necessary to ensure the proper

operation of such Successor Rate, Alternative Rate and/or Adjustment Spread (such

amendments, the "Benchmark Amendments") and (ii) the terms of the Benchmark

Amendments, then the Issuer shall, subject to giving notice thereof in accordance with

Condition 4(m)(vi), without any requirement for the consent or approval of Noteholders,

at the Issuer's expense, vary these Conditions and/or the VPS Trust Agreement and/or

the Agency Agreement and/or any other agreement or document relating to the Notes as

is necessary to give effect to such Benchmark Amendments with effect from the date

specified in such notice. The Fiscal Agent and/or the VPS Trustee and/or each other party

to an applicable agreement shall not be obliged to concur if in their opinion doing so

would impose more onerous obligations on them or expose them to any additional duties,

responsibilities or liabilities or reduce or amend their rights and/or the protective

provisions afforded to them in these Conditions or in any other document to which they

are a party in any way. For the avoidance of doubt, no consent of the Noteholders of the

relevant Series shall be required in connection with effecting the Benchmark

Amendments or such other changes, including for the execution of any documents or the

taking of other steps by the VPS Trustee, the Issuer or any of the parties to the Agency

Agreement (if required). In connection with any such variation in accordance with this

Condition 4(m)(v), the Issuer shall comply with the rules of any stock exchange on which

the Notes are for the time being listed or admitted to trading.

(vi)Notices, etc.

Any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread and the specific terms of any

Benchmark Amendments, determined under this Condition 4(m) will be notified

promptly, and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Interest

Determination Date by the Issuer to the Fiscal Agent, the Calculation Agent, and each

other party to the Agency Agreement, the VPS Trustee and the Noteholders. Such notice

shall be irrevocable and shall specify the effective date of the Benchmark Amendments,

if any, and will be binding on the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent, the Calculation Agent and

each other party to the Agency Agreement, the VPS Trustee and the Noteholders.

(vii)Survival of Reference Rate

Without prejudice to the provisions of this Condition 4(m), the Reference Rate and the

fallback provisions provided for in Condition 4(b)(iii)(B) will continue to apply unless

and until the Calculation Agent has been notified of the Successor Rate or the Alternative

Rate (as the case may be), and any Adjustment Spread and Benchmark Amendments, in

accordance with Condition 4(m)(v).

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 4(m), in

determining any Adjustment Spread or other relevant methodology for the purposes of Condition

4(m)(iii), the Issuer shall not and shall not be obliged to apply and may discount any Adjustment Spread

or methodology the application of which may constitute it an administrator for the purposes of Regulation

(EU) 2016/1011 or Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the

European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

In the case of NZ Subordinated Notes only, any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or

Benchmark Amendments determined in accordance with Condition 4(m)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) (Benchmark

Replacement),will be subject to ANZ New Zealand giving the RBNZ at least five working days' prior

notice of any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or Benchmark Amendments

determined in accordance with Condition 4(m)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) (Benchmark Replacement) in each

case, such notice to be accompanied by any supporting documentation required by the RBNZ's prudential

regulatory requirements, including a signed opinion from ANZ New Zealand's New Zealand legal

counsel confirming that, once the Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or Benchmark

Amendments (as applicable) is in effect, such NZ Subordinated Notes will continue to qualify as Tier 2

Capital.

98
NZ Subordinated Noteholders should note that ANZ New Zealand would not be able to comply with the

RBNZ notification requirement and that, consequently, no Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment

Spread or Benchmark Amendments (as applicable) could be applied, if the effect of any such Successor

Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or Benchmark Amendments (as applicable) would be that

such NZ Subordinated Notes would no longer qualify as Tier 2 Capital (as defined in Condition 4(p) in

respect of ANZ New Zealand).

methodology for calculating a spread, in either case, which the Independent Adviser, following

consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may be) and acting in good faith and in a

commercially reasonable manner, determines is required to be applied to the Successor Rate or the

Alternative Rate (as the case may be) to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable in the

circumstances, any economic prejudice or benefit (as the case may be) to Noteholders as a result of the

replacement of the Reference Rate with the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be)

and is the spread, formula or methodology which:

(ii)the Independent Adviser, following consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may be),

acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, is recognised or acknowledged as

being the industry standard for over-the-counter derivative transactions or is in customary market

usage in the debt capital market for transactions which reference the Reference Rate, where such

rate has been replaced by the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be) (or if

the Independent Adviser (or the Issuer as the case may be) determines that no such industry

standard is recognised or acknowledged); or

(iii)the Independent Adviser, following consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may be),

in its discretion, and acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines to

be appropriate.

"Alternative Rate" means an alternative benchmark or screen rate which the Independent Adviser (or

the Issuer as the case may be) determines in accordance with Condition 4(m)(ii) has replaced the

change in the generally accepted market practice in the international debt capital markets to refer

to a Reference Rate is endorsed in a public statement by a Relevant Nominating Body, despite the

continued existence of the applicable Reference Rate,

99

determine the Rate of Interest (or any component part thereof) on the Notes.

the Reference Rate;

(ii)any working group or committee sponsored by, chaired or co-chaired by or constituted at the

request of (a) the central bank for the currency to which the Reference Rate relates, (b) any central

Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of

any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will

replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of

such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its

designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes
