Item 3 – adoption of the

Remuneration Report

As required by the Corporations Act, the

Board presents the Remuneration Report to

shareholders for consideration and adoption

by a non-binding vote. The Remuneration

Report contains:

• information about Board policy for

determining the nature and amount

of remuneration of the Company’s

Directors and most senior executives;

•a description of the relationship

between the remuneration policy

and the Company’s performance; and

•remuneration details for KMP (including

the Directors of the Company) for the

period ended 30 September 2022.

The Remuneration Report, which is part of

the 2022 Annual Report, can be found on the

Company’s website at anz.com/annualreport

or can be obtained by contacting the

Company’s Share Registrar, Computershare.

Board Recommendation: The Board considers

that the remuneration policies adopted by

the Company are appropriately structured to

provide rewards that are commensurate with

the Company’s performance and competitive

with the external market. On this basis, the

Board recommends that shareholders eligible

to do so vote in favour of item 3.

Item 4 – Grant of restricted

rights and performance rights

to Mr S C Elliott

The Company is asking shareholders to

approve the proposed grant of restricted rights

and performance rights to the Company’s

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Executive

Director, Mr Shayne Elliott, under the ANZ

Share Option Plan on the terms and conditions

set out below. The proposed grant is part

of Mr Elliott’s 2023 variable remuneration.

Long Term Variable Remuneration (LTVR) has

been restructured to now provide material

weight to non-financial measures in line

with the new Prudential Standard CPS 511

Remuneration. Accordingly, for the 2023 grant,

Mr Elliott’s LTVR will be delivered as:

•50% LTVR restricted rights – with a pre vest

assessment of non-financial measures; and

•50% LTVR performance rights – with

forward looking Total Shareholder Return

(TSR) performance hurdles where:

–75% will be measured against the TSR of

the Select Financial Services comparator

group; and

–25% will be measured against absolute

Compound Annual Growth Rate

(CAGR) TSR.

At a glance:

•2023 LTVR, delivered in the form of 50%

restricted rights and 50% performance

rights, with a combined current face

value LTVR opportunity of A$3,375,000.

•2023 LTVR will be deferred over four to six

years with a two-year exercise period post

the end of the relevant deferral period

3

.

•The restricted rights:

–have been subject to a pre grant

assessment by the Board which

determined that the award should be

made at full value (i.e., no reduction); and

–will be subject to a pre vest assessment

by the Board of non-financial measures

at the end of the performance period to

determine whether the restricted rights

should vest in full.

•The performance rights:

–75% will be subject to a relative TSR

performance condition which compares

ANZ’s TSR performance against the

comparator group, with nil vesting

below median, 50% vesting at median

(i.e., threshold), and increasing to 100%

vesting at the 75

th

percentile of the

comparator group;

–25% will be subject to an absolute

CAGR TSR performance condition which

measures ANZ’s absolute CAGR TSR

performance against targets set by the

Board, with nil vesting below 9.125%,

50% vesting at 9.125% (threshold), and

increasing to 100% vesting at 13.688%.

•The performance conditions for both

restricted rights and performance rights

are assessed at the end of the four-year

performance period (with no retesting).

The four-year performance period

commences on 1 October 2022 and ends

four years later on 30 September 2026.

•Holding periods apply at the end of the

four-year performance period (to the extent

the restricted rights and performance

rights meet the relevant performance

condition). The holding period commences

the day after the end of the four-year

performance period and finishes on the 4

th

,

5

th

or 6

th

anniversary of grant.

• The deferral period is the sum of the

four-year performance period and the

applicable holding period.

3. Deferral period = performance period + holding period.

ANZ 2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting

In more detail:
Each restricted right and each performance

right is a right to acquire an ordinary fully

paid share in the Company at nil cost (i.e.,

nil exercise price), subject to meeting the

applicable time and performance conditions.

To the extent the performance conditions are

met, the relevant number of restricted rights

and performance rights will be eligible to vest

on the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary of

grant (vesting dates) as described below.

Upon vesting the Board will determine

whether to settle the restricted rights and

performance rights with ANZ shares or by

payment of a cash equivalent amount.

Mr Elliott’s entitlement to the restricted rights

and performance rights and to any shares/

cash equivalent payment will be subject to:

•the Board’s on-going discretion to adjust

downward (including to zero) the number

of restricted rights and/or performance

rights if the Board considers such a

reduction to be necessary or appropriate

(see further below); and

•the rules concerning treatment on

termination of employment or on a

change of control referred to below.

Mr Elliott will not be entitled to trade, transfer

or otherwise deal in (including by entering

into any hedging arrangements in respect of )

any restricted rights or performance rights, or

any entitlement to shares or cash equivalent

payment, prior to vesting.

If the Board determines to settle the restricted

rights and/or performance rights in shares

each restricted right/performance right

entitles Mr Elliott to one ANZ ordinary share

which will rank equally with shares in the

same class, subject to any adjustments in

accordance with the Listing Rules and the

rules of the Plan. Mr Elliott is not required to

pay any amount on grant of the restricted

rights and performance rights, nor on vesting.

The restricted rights and performance rights

form part of Mr Elliott’s ’at risk’ remuneration.

Restricted rights and performance rights

granted under the ANZ Share Option Plan

do not carry any voting rights. A dividend

equivalent payment (DEP) is paid in cash at

the end of the relevant deferral period, but

is only made to the extent that all or part of

the underlying rights actually vest. Dividend

equivalents accrue only on rights that meet

the performance condition and actually vest,

and accrue over the full deferral period for

restricted rights, and only during the holding

period for performance rights.

If approval is obtained, it is the intention

of the Board that the restricted rights and

performance rights will be granted to

Mr Elliott on 15 December 2022 (but,

in any event, not more than 12 months

after the date of this AGM).

Grant value and calculation of the

number of restricted rights and

performance rights to be granted

The Board believes that the proposed grant

of LTVR restricted rights and performance

rights is an important part of Mr Elliott’s

remuneration as it reinforces the CEO’s focus

on achieving longer term strategic objectives,

driving outperformance relative to peers and

creating long term sustained value for all

stakeholders. The grant of restricted rights

and performance rights means that the

actual value (if any) of shares Mr Elliott will

receive from this grant is not determined

until the end of the four, five and six year

deferral periods and will depend on the

extent to which the performance conditions

are achieved and the ANZ share price at

the time of exercising the rights.

Using a face value allocation methodology,

the number of restricted rights and

performance rights proposed to be granted

to Mr Elliott has been determined by firstly

dividing the face value of the grant (i.e.,

A$3,375,000) by two to determine the

restricted rights award value and the

performance rights award value.

•The restricted rights award value (i.e.,

$1,687,500) has then been split into three

tranches (33% ~4 year deferral, 33% ~5

year deferral and 34% ~6 year deferral)

and then divided by the Volume Weighted

Average Price (VWAP) of the Company’s

ordinary shares traded on the ASX in the

five trading days up to and including 1

October 2022, i.e., the start of the four-year

performance period – which was $23.07.

This has determined the actual number

of restricted rights for each tranche of

Restricted Rights, as follows:

Tranche two:

Tranche three:

~ 6 year deferral

Total restricted rights73,145

•The performance rights award value (i.e.,

$1,687,500) has been split into two parts:

–those rights subject to the relative

TSR performance condition

(75% / $1,265,625) and

–those rights subject to the absolute

CAGR TSR performance condition

(25% / $421,875).

•Each part is then split into three tranches

(33% ~4 year deferral, 33% ~5 year deferral

and 34% ~6 year deferral) and then divided

by the same five-day VWAP (as used to

calculate the number of restricted rights)

$23.07. This has determined the actual

tranche, as follows:

Restricted rights

Restricted rights will be subject to a pre vest

assessment to be conducted by the Board

after expiry of the four-year performance

period. The pre vest assessment will take

into consideration any adjustments applied

for the same event/outcomes in either the

current or prior years (i.e., adjustments to

Short Term Variable Remuneration (STVR)

and LTVR, malus and clawback), to ensure

the overall impact is fair and proportionate

to the severity of the outcome.

The restricted rights pre vest assessment

consists of a three-step process which considers,

over the four-year performance period:

1. Prudential soundness;

•Nil award if ANZ does not meet capital

ratio and liquidity prudential minimums.

2. Risk measures;

•Consideration of any Material Risk

Outcomes from executive actions

or inactions which is expected to/or

has resulted in significant impacts.

•Consideration of any significant

adverse change in APRA’s Active

Supervision level.

•Consideration of Risk Culture that

examines whether or not ANZ has

maintained (or made progress towards)

a sound risk culture, considering both

executive actions or inactions.

3. Apply Board discretion.

•Board to determine whether any

reduction should be made to the

restricted rights outcome based on

consideration of a range of factors,

including:

–the outcomes from steps 1 and 2 above;

–the impact, if any, of the issue/s

on ANZ’s reputation/standing in

the market;

–whether the issue was specific to

ANZ, the banking industry or the

broader market;

–any impacts already applied (e.g., re

downward adjustment mechanisms,

pre grant assessment impact to

restricted rights);

–whether any impact should be made

on an individual or collective basis.

The assessment is not intended to be

formulaic given the circumstances requiring

the application of Board discretion will

typically be different or unique, however a

Board decision making framework is in place

to guide the Board in applying discretion.

Performance rights – Relative TSR

75% of the performance rights will be

subject to a TSR hurdle which ranks the TSR

performance of the Company with the TSR

performance of the Select Financial Services

comparator group.

The Select Financial Services comparator

group includes the Bank of Queensland

Limited, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited,

Commonwealth Bank of Australia Limited,

DBS Bank Limited, Macquarie Group Limited,

National Australia Bank Limited, Standard

Chartered PLC, Suncorp Group Limited and

Westpac Banking Corporation. The Board

may vary the comparator group from time

to time if it considers it appropriate to do

so, for example, to take account of any

constituent company ceasing to be listed.

Broadly, TSR is the growth in share price, plus

the value of the dividends and distributions

on the relevant shares. The proportion

of performance rights that will become

exercisable will depend on the Company’s

TSR relative to the TSR of the constituent

companies in the comparator group at the

end of the four-year performance period.

The level of performance required for each

level of vesting, and the percentage of

performance rights that will become eligible

to vest at each level of performance, is set out

in the table below. The performance rights

lapse if the applicable performance condition

is not met. There is no re-testing.

company compared

constituents of the

comparator group:

Performance rights – Absolute

CAGR TSR

25% of the performance rights will be subject

to an absolute CAGR TSR hurdle with targets

as outlined below.

The absolute CAGR TSR is measured over the

same four-year performance period and the

proportion of performance rights that will

become exercisable will depend upon the

Company’s absolute CAGR TSR at the end of

the four-year performance period compared

to the targets set by the Board.

The level of performance required for

each level of vesting, and the percentage

of performance rights that vest at each

level of performance, is set out in the table

below. The performance rights lapse if the

performance condition is not met. There

is no re-testing.

The Board retains discretion to adjust the

absolute CAGR TSR hurdle in exceptional

circumstances to ensure that Mr Elliott is

neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by

matters outside management’s control that

materially affect achievement of the absolute

CAGR TSR performance condition.

Downward adjustment –

Board discretion

The Board retains an on-going and absolute

discretion to:

•apply further deferral or freeze the vesting

of restricted rights and performance rights;

•apply malus (an adjustment to reduce the

value of part or all of the restricted rights

and performance rights before they have

vested); and

•apply clawback (the recovery of restricted

rights and performance rights which have

already vested).

This discretion may be exercised, for example,

where the Board considers this is necessary to

protect the financial soundness of ANZ or to

meet regulatory requirements, or there has

been a material failure of risk management

or controls within ANZ.

Accordingly, before the scheduled vesting of

any restricted rights and performance rights the

Board considers whether any further deferral/

freezing or malus should be applied, and

also considers whether clawback should be

applied during the applicable clawback period.

Treatment on termination

of employment

If:

•Mr Elliott resigns prior to the vesting date

the restricted rights and performance

rights will lapse;

•Mr Elliott’s employment is terminated by

the Company with notice, except as set

out below in relation to ’good leaver’

termination, all unvested restricted rights

and performance rights as at the ’full

notice termination date’

4

will lapse;

•Mr Elliott’s employment is terminated

by the Company for misconduct with

notice, all unvested restricted rights and

performance rights will lapse on cessation

of employment. If Mr Elliott’s employment

is terminated by the Company for serious

misconduct without notice, all vested

(but unexercised) and unvested restricted

rights and performance rights will lapse

on cessation of employment; or

•Mr Elliott ceases employment in

circumstances of death or total and

permanent disability, the performance

conditions will be waived and all unvested

restricted rights and performance rights

will vest on cessation.

In certain circumstances termination may

be classified by the Board as a ’good leaver’.

In such a case, unless the Board determines

otherwise, the restricted rights and

performance rights held by Mr Elliott

will remain on-foot and, where and to the

extent the Board determines the applicable

performance condition is met, the relevant

number of restricted rights and performance

rights will be eligible to vest on their

applicable vesting date. On vesting, the

Board may determine to settle the relevant

restricted rights and/or performance rights

with a cash equivalent payment, rather

than with shares.

Treatment on change of control

The Conditions of Grant will set out the

treatment of the restricted rights and

performance rights on a change of

control prior to the vesting date.

Where a change of control occurs, which

includes a person acquiring a relevant

interest in at least 50% of the Company’s

ordinary shares as a result of a takeover

bid, or other similar event, the applicable

performance conditions applying to the

restricted rights and performance rights

will be tested and the restricted rights and

performance rights will become eligible to

vest based on the extent the performance

conditions are satisfied. In such a case the

performance period will be taken to end

at a time (being no later than the final date

on which the change of control event will

occur) determined by the Board. No pro rata

reduction in vesting will occur, and vesting

will only be determined by the extent to

which the relevant performance conditions are

satisfied over the adjusted performance period.

Any restricted rights and/or performance

rights which vest based on satisfaction

of the performance conditions over the

adjusted performance period will vest at a

time (being no later than the final date on

which the change of control event will occur)

determined by the Board. If applicable law

or APRA requirements prevent vesting at this

time, the Board may determine a later time

that complies with applicable law or APRA

requirements and/or that any consideration

that is received must be deferred until the

expiry of that later time.

Any restricted rights and/or performance

rights that remains unvested will lapse

with effect from the date of the change

of control event occurring, unless the

Board determines otherwise.

Non-operating holding

company proposal

As set out in a separate explanatory

memorandum, ANZ is proposing to establish

a non-operating holding company, ANZ

Group Holdings Limited (ANZ NOHC), as the

new listed parent of the ANZ group and to

create distinct banking and non-banking

groups within the ANZ group (the NOHC

Restructure Proposal). For

the avoidance

of doubt, implementation of the NOHC

Restructure Proposal will not constitute a

“change of control” under the Conditions of

Grant. If the NOHC Restructure Proposal is

approved by shareholders and implemented,

the restricted rights and performance rights

granted to Mr Elliott would then be replaced

with restricted rights and performance rights

in relation to ANZ NOHC and shares in ANZ

NOHC (instead of the Company and shares in

the Company) on the same terms and

conditions (with any necessary modifications).

Other information

By virtue of Listing Rule 10.14, the Company

(as an ASX listed company) must not permit

any of the following persons to acquire

equity securities under an employee

incentive scheme:

•a director of the Company

(Listing Rule 10.14.1);

•an associate of a director of the

Company (Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

•a person whose relationship with the

Company or a person referred to in

Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such

that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition

should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its

shareholders by ordinary resolution.

The proposed grant of restricted rights and

performance rights to Mr Elliott, a director

of the Company, falls within Listing Rule

10.14.1 above and, therefore, requires the

approval of the Company’s shareholders

under Listing Rule 10.14. Mr Elliott is the

only Director entitled to participate in

4. ’Full notice termination date’ means the date of cessation of employment or, if later, the date on which cessation of employment would have occurred but for any payment made in lieu of notice.

ANZ 2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting

12

the ANZ Share Option Plan. No associate
of any Director is entitled to participate.

Item 4 therefore seeks the required

shareholder approval to the grant under

and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If the resolution in item 4 is passed, the

Company will be able to proceed with the

grant as described in these Explanatory Notes.

In the event that shareholders do not

approve the grant of restricted rights and

performance rights, the restricted rights and

performance rights would not be granted

and the Board would review the feedback

from shareholders to clearly understand why

the resolution was not supported. The Board

sees LTVR as a very important component of

Mr Elliott’s total remuneration package, and

the Board would look to review the structure

(each of the elements) of the CEO’s total

remuneration package.

Mr Elliott’s current total remuneration

package is comprised of:

•Fixed Remuneration (FR) of A$2,500,000

(inclusive of superannuation) per annum;

•Short Term Variable Remuneration

(STVR) of up to 100% of FR (maximum

opportunity); and

•Long Term Variable Remuneration (LTVR) of

up to 135% of FR (maximum opportunity).

Shareholders are referred to the 2022

Remuneration Report published in the

Company’s 2022 Annual Report for further

details of Mr Elliott’s remuneration.

As CEO and a director of the Company,

and as approved by shareholders at Annual

General Meetings of the Company, Mr Elliott

has been granted a total of 1,017,441

performance rights (and zero restricted

rights) under the ANZ Share Option Plan, as

part of his remuneration as LTVR, as follows:

No amount was or is payable by Mr Elliott

at grant or on vesting for the above

performance rights.

There is no loan scheme in relation to the

restricted rights and/or performance rights

(or the shares underlying them).

For the settlement of the restricted rights and

performance rights on vesting, shares may be

issued or acquired on market, or the Board

may determine to settle the restricted rights

and/or performance rights with a cash

equivalent amount.

Details of any securities issued under the

ANZ Share Option Plan will be published in

the Company’s Annual Report relating to the

period in which they were issued, along with

a statement that approval for the issue was

obtained under Listing Rule 10.14. Any

additional persons covered by Listing Rule

10.14 who become entitled to participate in

an issue of securities under the ANZ Share

Option Plan after the resolution on item 4

is approved and who are not named in this

Notice of Meeting will not participate until

approval is obtained under that Listing Rule.

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act,

a company may only give a person a benefit

in connection with their ceasing to hold

a managerial or executive office in the

company or a related body corporate if it

is approved by shareholders under section

200E or an exemption applies. Mr Elliott holds

such an office. The term ’benefit’ has a wide

operation and could include the early vesting

of the restricted rights and/or performance

rights as contemplated above or otherwise

under the ANZ Share Option Plan.

Accordingly, shareholder approval is also

sought for the purpose of section 200E

of the Corporations Act to allow vesting

of restricted rights and performance rights

and settlement of them with shares or a

cash equivalent payment upon Mr Elliott

ceasing employment (as summarised under

“Treatment on termination of employment”

above), including where to do so would

involve the giving of a ’benefit’ to Mr Elliott

in connection with him ceasing to hold a

managerial or executive office. The approval

is sought in relation to the restricted rights

and performance rights proposed to be

granted to Mr Elliott under item 4 in this

Notice of Meeting.

The value of any benefit relating to the

restricted rights and performance rights

given in connection with Mr Elliott ceasing

to hold managerial or executive office cannot

presently be ascertained. However, matters,

events and circumstances that will,

or are likely to, affect the calculation

of that value are:

•the number of restricted rights and

performance rights held by Mr Elliott

prior to cessation of employment;

•the circumstances of or reasons for

Mr Elliott’s cessation of employment

(see ’Treatment on termination of

employment’ above);

•the result of any pro rating on cessation

of employment;

•whether performance hurdles are waived

or (if not waived) met, and the number

of restricted rights and performance

rights that vest (which could be all of the

restricted rights and performance rights

held by Mr Elliott);

•whether the restricted rights and/or

performance rights are settled in ANZ

shares or by payment of a cash equivalent

amount; and

•the market price of ANZ shares on ASX on

the date shares are provided to Mr Elliott

upon vesting of the restricted rights and

performance rights or, if the Board decides

to settle the restricted rights and/or

performance rights by payment of a cash

equivalent amount, in the five trading days

up to (and including) the date of vesting.

Under the rules of the ANZ Share Option Plan,

the Board has discretion to adjust the rules of

the Plan and awards granted under it. If the

Company makes a bonus issue, or rights

issue, or undertakes a re-organisation, the

number of restricted rights and performance

rights granted to Mr Elliott or their terms may

be adjusted under the Plan as required by

the Listing Rule or to address any material

advantage or disadvantage that may occur

(subject to any appliable ASX Listing Rule

requirements). Any such adjustments would

be explained in the Company’s next Annual

Report issued following the adjustment.

Board Recommendation: The Board considers

that the proposed granting of restricted

rights and performance rights is appropriate

and is in the best interests of the Company

and its shareholders, as the grant strengthens

5. Grant approved by shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting in anticipation of Mr Elliott’s appointment as a director and CEO becoming effective on 1 January 2016.

13

ANZ 2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting

the alignment of Mr Elliott’s interests with
shareholders, and the performance rights

provide a strong link between the reward for

Mr Elliott’s performance and total shareholder

returns over the next four-year period.

The Board also considers that obtaining

shareholder approval to allow restricted

rights and performance rights to vest upon

Mr Elliott ceasing employment in accordance

with the Conditions of Grant, as described

above, is appropriate and in the best interests

of the Company and its shareholders. It will

provide the Company with the ability to

ensure its ongoing compliance with section

200B of the Corporations Act and with the

Conditions of Grant for the restricted rights

and performance rights.

Accordingly, the Board (excluding Mr Elliott

because of his interest) recommends that

shareholders eligible to do so vote in favour

of item 4.

Item 5 – resolution requisitioned

by members – amendment to

the constitution (non-board

endorsed item)

A group of shareholders have requisitioned

resolutions under section 249N of the

Corporations Act. The Company has included

those proposed resolutions as items 5 and 6

in this Notice of Meeting.

The resolutions in items 5 and 6 are

proposed by shareholders understood

by the Company to be associated with

the group “Market Forces”.

These resolutions are not endorsed by

the Board.

The same group of shareholders has also

requested, under section 249P of the

Corporations Act, that the Company provides

statements prepared by them to shareholders

about these proposed resolutions. The

statements can be found in the Appendix to

this Notice of Meeting. By including these

statements in this Notice of Meeting, the

Company does not make any representations

as to the truth or accuracy of their contents

and disclaims all liability for them.

Reasons why the Board recommends

that Shareholders vote against item 5

The resolution in item 5 is a proposal to

amend the Company’s Constitution. The

amendment would enable shareholders

to propose and pass formal resolutions

expressing opinions, or requesting

information, about the way the Board

exercises the powers vested in it, in

relation to material risks identified by ANZ.

The Board respects the rights of shareholders

to express their views and to seek to amend

the Company’s Constitution. In addition,

the Board must (and does) in the normal

course consider shareholder views which

can be expressed through a range of

channels. It does not, however, consider

it in shareholders’ best interests to amend

the Constitution in the manner outlined in

the requisitioned resolution.

Shareholders have a number of existing ways

in which they can effectively engage with the

Company including by asking or submitting

questions at general meetings, by distributing

members’ statements under the Corporations

Act and by choosing whether to support the

election of Directors and other resolutions

proposed at general meetings. The Company

also has a variety of existing avenues whereby

it seeks robust discussion and can gauge

differing opinions, including through regular

engagement with retail and institutional

shareholders. This constructive engagement

gives the Company important insights into

perspectives on the Company’s operations.

Under the law and the Company’s

Constitution, it is the Board’s responsibility

to manage the business of the Company.

It is important that the Board can make

decisions using their business judgement

about the business and affairs of the

Company and in the interests of the

Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Shareholders already have a statutory

right under the Corporations Act to put

resolutions to general meetings. Any reform

to allow shareholders to propose advisory

resolutions, as the resolution in item 5 would

enable, is a matter for government and

should not be done on a company-by-

company basis. Addressing the matter

through law reform has the benefit of

ensuring that an appropriate weighing of

considerations occurs, appropriate thresholds

and oversight mechanisms are in place,

and all Australian public companies are

subject to the same requirement.

Imposing a constitutionally mandated

obligation to put advisory resolutions to

ANZ’s shareholders would increase the scope

for requisitioned resolutions to be used

by groups whose interests are not aligned

with, and may be contrary to, those of the

Company and its shareholders. The Boa

rd

is concerned that a constitutional right

to propose such resolutions is likely to

disproportionately favour those who have

a practice of requisitioning special interest

resolutions. This could result in the business

of future shareholder meetings being

increasingly dominated by non-binding

special interest resolutions that focus on

a single issue.

If shareholders disagree with the direction

the Company is taking, other options are

already available to them, as set out above.

Board Recommendation: Having regard

to the matters set out above, the Board

does not consider the proposed resolution

to be in the best interests of the Company

and its shareholders. Therefore, the Board

recommends that shareholders vote

against item 5.

Item 6 – resolution requisitioned

by members – climate risk

safeguarding (conditional,

non-board endorsed item)

The same group of shareholders that

requisitioned the resolution in item 5

has also requisitioned the resolution in

item 6 in this Notice of Meeting.

The resolution is an advisory resolution.

The resolution is not endorsed by the Board.

The resolution in item 6 will be proposed

to the Meeting only if the resolution in

item 5 is passed by the requisite majority.

Reasons why the Board recommends

that shareholders vote against item 6

if it is put to the AGM

Commitment to supporting the transition

to net zero emissions

We are playing our part in supporting the

transition to net zero emissions by 2050.

And we want to be the leading Australia

and New Zealand based bank in supporting

our customers’ transition to that goal.

To get there, significant greenhouse gas

emission reductions are required across all

sectors of the economy. Trillions of dollars

are needed to invest in new and existing

technologies for clean energy and sustainable

infrastructure. We believe the most important

role we can play in enabling the transition

is to support our customers’ plans to reduce

emissions and enhance their resilience to

a changing climate. We support an orderly

transition that recognises and responds to

social, economic and environmental impacts

of a net zero transition. This aligns with our

purpose to help shape a world in which

people and communities thrive.

6. Emissions attributable to lending.

ANZ 2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting

14

7. Our $50 billion target is directed towards sustainable solution for our customers, including initiatives that help improve environmental sustainability, increase access to affordable housing and promote
financial wellbeing. The majority of the target is directed towards environmental sustainability initiatives that help customers to lower their emissions.

8. Self-generated renewable electricity, direct

procurement from offsite grid-connected generators e.g. Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and default delivered renewable electricity from the grid, supported by credible attributes in accordance with

RE100 technical guidelines.

We also understand the importance of

seeking to align our lending decisions with

the goals of the Paris Agreement and in

doing so, reduce our ‘scope 3

6

’ emissions

from lending to customers. This is why ANZ

was the first Australia and New Zealand-

based bank to join the Net Zero Banking

Alliance (NZBA). In joining the alliance in

2021, we committed to measure our scope 3

emissions in key carbon intensive sectors

and set and disclose pathways and targets

so that our shareholders and other

stakeholders can track our progress.

Last year ANZ set two sectoral pathways and

targets for our lending to power generation

and large-scale commercial buildings in

Australia. These pathways are guiding our

decision making about who we lend to and

what we lend for. This year we will set further

pathways and targets to reduce portfolio

emissions in other carbon-intensive sectors:

oil and gas, and building products.

Our Climate Change Commitment provides

the framework for our strategy and our

commitment to enable the transition by

working to align our lending portfolio with

net zero emissions. Our environmental

sustainability strategy identifies priority

sectors, technologies and financing

opportunities to help achieve our ambition.

Our 2022 Climate-related Financial Disclosures

will be released prior to our AGM. This will be

our sixth report using the recommendations

of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial

Disclosures (TCFD) and will be available at

anz.com/annualreport. This report will

provide a more detailed update on our

approach to climate change, including

our customer engagement program.

Progress against our commitments

To date we have made good progress.

We are directing our finance into key priority

areas and progressively expanding coverage

of key sectors in line with our NZBA

commitment. We are aligning our lending

decisions to the Paris Agreement goals and

have disclosed metrics and targets for carbon

intensive sectors. We have committed to

fund and facilitate $50 billion of sustainable

solutions by 2025 to help our customers

lower their emissions

7

, and we are on track

to achieve that target with over $40 billion

funded and facilitated since 2019.

We are also equipping our employees with

a deeper understanding of climate risks and

opportunities (focusing on our Institutional

bankers in key customer segments such

as resources, energy and Agribusiness),

implementing partnerships, actively

participating in recognised industry

associations to help shape policy development

and settings to enable the development of

taxonomy and standards, reducing emissions

from our operations, including 100%

renewable electricity by 2025 and engaging

constructively with stakeholders on our

approach through Environmental, Social

and Governance (ESG) market briefings,

investor roundtables, civil society

engagement and other avenues.

The supporting statement of the proponents

of this resolution makes it clear that they

are seeking an immediate withdrawal of

financing for companies that are continuing

to invest in fossil fuel related projects

irrespective of the steps those companies,

which are the Bank’s customers, are taking

towards climate change transition. We

do not accept that it is in the Bank’s, our

shareholders’ or the community’s best

interests that we abandon support and

services for leading companies that are

genuinely endeavouring to implement

effective climate transition plans.

Our commitments on climate change

Our Climate Change Commitment focuses

on four areas:

1. Supporting our customers and industries

to transition;

2. Aligning our lending to the Paris

Agreement goals;

3. Reducing our impact by reducing

emissions from our operations; and

4. Engaging constructively and transparently

with stakeholders.

In 2023 we are seeking to enhance our

response to climate-related risks and

opportunities through:

•continuing to engage with 100 of our

largest emitting business customers to

encourage them to strengthen their low

carbon transition plans so more customers

achieve a ‘well developed’ or ‘advanced’

rating; and enhance their efforts to protect

biodiversity, by end 2024;

•progressing further towards our target

of using 100% renewable electricity for

our operations by 2025;

8

•continuing to enhance banker capability

to identify climate risk and opportunities

•building alignment with the Australian

Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)

CPG229 guidance on Climate Change

Financial Risks and the New Zealand

Financial Sector (Climate-related

Disclosures and Other Matters)

Amendment Act 2021; and

•progressively developing metrics and

targets for key sectors, in line with our

NZBA commitment, which is aimed at

ensuring the majority of our portfolio

emissions are covered by the end of 2024.

We are also continuing to develop an

enhanced climate risk management

framework that strengthens our governance

and anticipates potential climate-related

impacts and regulatory requirements. Our

next steps outlined in our new Environment,

Social, and Governance (ESG) target are that

by end 2023, we will:

•prepare a set of risk standards based

on regulatory obligations, to be applied

across all countries and territories in

which we operate;

•extend our Climate Change Risk

Assessment methodology beyond our

Project Finance business, starting with

Institutional customers in higher emitting

sectors such as resources and energy; and

•develop a data strategy to inform our

approach to sourcing and integrating

climate data into sectoral transition

pathways, scenario analysis, stress

testing and analytics. This will include

learning from the New Zealand climate

risk program.

How ANZ is working with its large

business customers

We committed to engage with 100 of our

largest emitting business customers, to

encourage them to strengthen their low

carbon transition plans and enhance their

efforts to protect biodiversity, by the end 2024.

As part of this engagement we expect more

customers to further improve their plans to a

‘well developed’, or ‘advanced’ stage.

Customers continue to value our engagement

on this topic, and our perspectives. Several

customers outside of the 100 have sought

to engage with us, seeking clarity on our

expectations, or requesting suggestions to

improve their approach.

For those customers starting out, we provide

support in the form of insights into enhanced

customer practices we have observed

15

ANZ 2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Appendix
through our engagements. Where

customers are further advanced, we

encourage them to find ways to

strengthen their approach and provide

options for how we could potentially

assist, including setting ‘stretch’ targets

linked to improved financing terms in

the form of sustainability linked lending.

Disclosure

We provide investors and other

stakeholders with clear information

enabling them to assess the adequacy

of our approach to climate change and

our ability to manage the associated

risks and opportunities.

We report using the recommendations

of the TCFD. Our 2022 Climate-related

financial disclosures will be published

on our website together with ANZ’s

2022 ESG Supplement, supporting ESG

Data Pack and the 2022 Environmental

Performance Report which details our

global carbon offset data.

ANZ was the first Australian bank to

report under the Financial Stability

Board’s Task Force’s TCFD framework. As

noted above, our 2022 Climate-related

Financial Disclosures will provide a

detailed update on our approach

to climate change including in relation

to our customer engagement program

Supporting statements

provided by Market Forces

The statements which follow for items 5

and 6 were provided by the shareholders

who requisitioned the resolutions in items 5

and 6. The statements are not endorsed

by the Board. The Board recommends

that shareholders vote against item 5

and, if put to the AGM, item 6.

Item 5 – Amendment to the Constitution

Shareholder resolutions are a healthy part

of corporate democracy in many jurisdictions

other than Australia. For example, in the

UK shareholders can consider resolutions

seeking to explicitly direct the conduct of the

board. In the US, New Zealand and Canada

shareholders can consider resolutions seeking

to advise their board as to how it should act.

As a matter of practice, typically, unless the

board permits it, Australian shareholders

cannot follow the example of their UK, US,

New Zealand or Canadian counterparts in

this respect.

A board of directors is a steward for

shareholders and accountability for the

discharge of that stewardship is essential

to long-term corporate prosperity.

In some situations the appropriate course

of action for shareholders dissatisfied with

the conduct or performance of the board

is to seek to remove directors individually.

However in many situations a better course

of action is to formally and publicly allow

shareholders the opportunity at shareholder

meetings to alert board members that the

shareholders seek more information or favour

a particular approach to corporate policy.

The constitution of ANZ is not conducive to

the rights of shareholders to place resolutions

on the agenda of a shareholder meeting. This

is contrary to the long-term interests of ANZ,

its board and shareholders.

Passage of this resolution – to amend

the ANZ constitution – will simply put the

company in a similar position in regard to

shareholder resolutions as any listed company

in the UK, US, Canada or New Zealand.

We encourage shareholders to vote in favour

of this resolution.

Item 6 – Climate Risk Safeguarding

Despite committing to the 1.5°C global

warming limit of the Paris Agreement, and

net-zero global emissions by 2050, ANZ’s

financing continues to undermine these

goals, exposing our company to increased

transitional, physical and legal climate risks.

Paris-aligned financing means no

new fossil fuels

The International Energy Agency’s (IEA)

Net Zero by 2050 scenario (NZE2050)

9

states

“no new coal mines or mine extensions”, “no

new oil and gas fields” and “huge declines

in the use of coal, oil and gas” are needed

to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It

further states “also not needed are many of

the liquefied natural gas (LNG) liquefaction

facilities currently under construction or at

the planning stage”.

In July 2021, 115 investors with US$4.2 trillion

in assets under management and/or

stewardship wrote to 63 global banks, calling

on them to integrate the NZE2050 findings,

including the need for no new fossil fuels,

into their climate strategies

10

.

As early as 2018 the IEA’s Executive Director

said limiting global warming to less than 2°C

means “we have no room to build any

thing

that emits CO₂ emissions”.

11

This conclusion

has been confirmed by peer-reviewed

scientific research

12

and analysis

13

drawing

upon data from organisations including

Rystad Energy, IEA and IPCC.

ANZ continuing to finance fossil

fuel expansion

Despite these ever-growing calls to end fossil

fuel expansion, ANZ continues to finance

projects and companies doing exactly that.

Our company loaned at least $2.2B for 19

projects that expand the fossil fuel industry

between 2016 and 2020. These projects are

estimated to enable the release of 4.6 billion

tonnes of CO₂, equivalent to nine times

Australia’s 2020 national emissions.

14

Since January 2019 ANZ has loaned over

$1B to eight ASX300 companies pursuing

new or expanded coal, oil or gas projects,

including AGL Energy, Aurizon, Beach

Energy, BHP, Origin Energy, Santos, Viva

Energy and Woodside.

15

ANZ 2022 Notice of Annual General Meeting

16

In August 2022, ANZ took part in a US$1B
syndicated loan to Santos, ostensibly for the

company to proceed with its Barossa gas

project, which is so emissions intensive it

has been described by one analyst as “... a CO₂

emissions factory with an LNG by-product.”

16

ANZ loaned as recently as 2018 to New Hope

Corp, which is pursuing new coal mining

projects. Despite this facility having been

terminated by the client, nothing in ANZ’s

policy prevents our company continuing

to lend to New Hope and other companies

attempting to expand coal mining.

Physical and transitional climate

risk exposure

As an institution exposed across virtually the

entire Australian economy, ANZ should be

extremely concerned about the financial

impacts of physical, transitional, legal and

reputational climate risks, which inevitably

will be borne by shareholders.

A September 2021 report by the Reserve

Bank of Australia (RBA) identifies mortgages

as a source of financial risk, stating: “housing

prices could decline, leaving banks with less

protection than expected against borrower

default”.

17

A May 2022 Climate Council study

found one in 25 Australian homes would be

uninsurable by 2030.

18

Our peer and competitor, Commonwealth

Bank of Australia, has drawn attention to

climate risks in agriculture, reporting in 2019

that grain growing regions risk productivity

declines of up to 50% below the 2018 baseline

by 2060, attributed to changes in rainfall.

19

For ANZ to be so widely exposed to physical

and transitional climate risk, yet willing to

worsen the problem by enabling fossil

fuel expansion, amounts to our company

shooting itself in the foot.

ANZ being left behind

Financial institutions are placing more

effective restrictions on finance to companies

and projects expanding fossil fuels, leaving

ANZ’s clearly ineffective policies behind.

In August 2022 industry super fund

NGS divested from numerous oil and

gas producing companies due to the

risk of stranded assets.

20

In March 2022:

•Dutch bank ING announced it would

“restrict dedicated upstream finance

(lending or capital markets) for oil and

gas fields approved for development

after 31 December 2021”,

21

•European reinsurer Hannover RE

announced its facultative division “will no

longer take on any new covers for project

policies associated with the exploration

and/or development of new oil and gas

reserves (upstream) or for project policies

that exclusively support the transportation

and storage (midstream) of new oil and

gas reserves”

22

, and

•MAPFRE ruled out insuring or investing

in any coal, oil or gas company that had

not committed to an energy transition

plan that allows global warming to be

maintained at around 1.5°C.

23

In 2020 Suncorp committed to “not directly

invest in, finance or underwrite... new oil

and gas exploration or production” and

phase out underwriting for the sector by

2025 and direct investment by 2040.

24

Since March 2021, Nordea Asset

Management has excluded fossil fuel

producers without a clear plan for complying

with the Paris Agreement in 213 of its 368

funds, stating “no oil and gas producers

and of course coal miners live up to these

requirements at present”.

25

In March 2021,

Danske Bank committed to immediately

end direct finance for expansion of oil and

gas exploration and production worldwide,

26

while NedBank,

27

SEB,

28

and NatWest

29

have

made similar commitments.

Regulatory and legal risk

In November 2021, the Australian Prudential

Regulation Authority (APRA) published its

Prudential Practice Guide ‘CPG 229 Climate

Change Financial Risks’.

30


It states that where an institution is unable

to adequately address climate risk facing its

customers through other measures, it may

need to consider “the institution’s ability to

continue the relationship” with the customer.

Investor support required

Despite its stated support for the Paris

Agreement and net-zero emissions by 2050,

ANZ remains an active investor in fossil fuel

expansion, further exposing shareholders

to financial risks associated with the energy

transition required to meet the Paris

climate goals.

We urge shareholders to vote in favour

of this resolution.

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) ABN 11 005 357 522. Aust. Credit Licence No. 234527.
Paul D O’Sullivan

Chairman

07 November 2022

Dear shareholder

Important information on your investment in ANZ

As you may be aware, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”) is proposing to establish

a non-operating holding company (“ANZ NOHC”), as the new listed parent company of the ANZ Group via

scheme of arrangement (“Scheme”) and to separate ANZ’s banking and certain non-banking businesses within

the ANZ Group (“Restructure”).

In accordance with Australian law, the proposed Scheme, which is one of the steps required to implement

the Restructure, will require the approval of ANZ shareholders and an Australian court. If the Scheme is

approved and goes ahead, then your ANZ shares will be acquired in return for shares in ANZ NOHC under

the terms of the Scheme.

Yours faithfully

Paul D O’Sullivan

Chairman

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited


Because your shares in ANZ are registered with an address in China/India/Papua New Guinea and due to legal

restrictions on the issue of Australian securities in your country, regretfully we are unable to send to you any

materials about the Scheme. If you have a postal address outside these countries, then we may be able to send

materials about the Scheme to such postal address.

We thank you for your support of ANZ. Please note that information about ANZ will continue to be available on

our website.
