Scheme of Arrangement to Establish Non-Operating
Holding Company Legally Effective

Further to the announcement yesterday, ANZ confirms that it has lodged an office copy of
the orders made by the Federal Court of Australia (Court) approving the scheme of
arrangement (Scheme) with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)
pursuant to subsection 411(10) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

The Scheme is now legally effective. ANZ shares on the ASX and NZX will be suspended
from the close of trading today. ANZ regulatory capital securities quoted for trading on the
ASX will be suspended from trading on the ASX under their existing codes from close of
trading today.

ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ANZ NOHC) shares will commence trading on the ASX on a
deferred settlement basis on 21 December 2022. ANZ NOHC shares will enter into a trading
halt on the NZX on 21 December 2022. ANZ regulatory capital securities quoted for trading
on the ASX will commence trading under their new ASX codes (on a deferred settlement
basis) on 21 December 2022.

Eligible ANZ shareholders will receive one ANZ NOHC share for each ANZ share they hold.
Ineligible foreign ANZ shareholders will not receive any ANZ NOHC shares. Instead, these
shareholders will receive the cash proceeds of the sale of the ANZ NOHC shares by the sale
agent. It is the responsibility of ANZ shareholders to determine their entitlements prior to
trading in ANZ NOHC shares to avoid the risk of selling ANZ NOHC shares they do not own.
ANZ shareholders selling ANZ NOHC ordinary shares before they receive confirmation of
their entitlement do so at their own risk.

The remaining key dates of the Scheme are set out below.
