ANNEXURE A ANZ NOHC UPDATES

The Approved NOHC Substitution Date (as defined in the Conditions) occurred on 3 January

2023.

1.The section entitled “Non-Operating Holding Company” in the Information

Memorandum shall be updated as follows:

The Issuer has established a non-operating holding company, ANZ Group Holdings

Limited ACN 659 510 791 (“ANZ NOHC”), as the new listed parent holding company

of the Group by a scheme of arrangement and has separated the Issuer’s banking

and certain non-banking businesses into the ANZ Bank Group and ANZ Non-Bank

Group. The ANZ Bank Group comprises the Issuer and the majority of its

subsidiaries. The ANZ Non-Bank Group houses banking-adjacent businesses

developed or to be acquired by the Group, as the Issuer continues to seek ways to

bring the best new technology and banking-adjacent services to its customers.

The following definitions apply:

•“ANZ Bank HoldCo” means ANZ BH Pty Ltd (ACN 658 939 952), a non-operating

intermediate holding company owned by ANZ NOHC and which owns the ANZ

Bank Group subsidiaries (including the Issuer).

•“ANZ Bank Group” means all businesses and entities owned by ANZ Bank HoldCo,

including the Issuer and ANZ New Zealand.

•“ANZBGL Group” means the Issuer and each of its subsidiaries.

•“ANZ NOHC” means ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ACN 659 510 791).

•“ANZ NOHC Group” means all businesses owned or controlled by the ANZ NOHC

(including ANZ Bank HoldCo, the Issuer, and ANZ Non-Bank HoldCo).

•“ANZ Non-Bank Group” means ANZ Group Services Pty Ltd (ACN 658 940 900)

and all businesses and entities owned by ANZ Non-Bank HoldCo, including ANZ’s

beneficial interests in the 1835i trusts, non-controlling interest in the Worldline

merchant acquiring joint venture, and equity interests in Lygon, TIN and Pollination.

•“ANZ Non-Bank HoldCo” means ANZ NBH Pty Ltd (ACN 658 941 096), a non-

operating intermediate holding company owned by ANZ NOHC and which owns

certain nonbanking subsidiaries.

•“Group” means the ANZBGL Group or the ANZ NOHC Group as a whole (including

all businesses), as the context requires.

•“Issuer” means Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ACN 005 357

522).

•“Restructure” means the restructure of the ANZBGL Group implemented by the: 1.

Scheme; and 2. business restructure.

•“Scheme” means the scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations

Act implemented on 3 January 2023.

As a result of the Restructure, the Issuer’s pre-Restructure operating groups and

financial statements do not reflect the ANZBGL Group’s operating groups and

businesses, taken as a whole, primarily because certain assets and businesses were

transferred and additional assets and businesses may in the future be transferred to the

ANZ Non-Bank Group, which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer. Any

assets transferred to, or acquired by, the ANZ Non-Bank Group are not available to

service the indebtedness represented by the Notes. While those assets are not material

relative to the total assets of the ANZBGL Group as at 30 September 2022, those

assets, as well as any other assets outside the ANZBGL Group, may in the future

represent a greater proportion of the post-Restructure Group’s total assets.

8
2.The section entitled “Description of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and the ANZ

NOHC” shall be updated as follows:

The rights and liabilities attaching to the ordinary shares of the ANZ NOHC are set

out in the constitution of the ANZ NOHC (“Constitution”) and are also regulated by

the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the general law. A summary of the key

rights attaching to the ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares is as follows. lnvestors who wish

to inspect the Constitution may do so at the registered office of the ANZ NOHC during

normal office hours.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares or class of shares, a

registered holder of an ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share (“Shareholder”) is entitled to

attend and vote at a general meeting of the ANZ NOHC. Any resolution being

considered at a general meeting is decided on a show of hands unless a poll is held.

On a show of hands, each Shareholder present has one vote. On a poll, each

Shareholder has one vote for each ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share. Partly paid ANZ

NOHC Ordinary Shares confer that fraction of a vote which is equal to the proportion

which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the ANZ NOHC Ordinary

Share.

General meetings

Notice of a general meeting must be given to each Shareholder in accordance with

the Corporations Act. Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notices, financial

statements and other documents required to be provided to Shareholders under the

Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

Dividend entitlement

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the terms of issue of ANZ

NOHC Ordinary Shares, the board of directors of the ANZ NOHC (“Board”) may

resolve to pay dividends on ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares which are considered by the

Board to be appropriate, in proportion to the capital paid up on the ANZ NOHC

Ordinary Shares held by each Shareholder (subject to the rights of holders of shares

carrying preferred rights).

Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan

Shareholders who are eligible may participate in the ANZ NOHC's dividend

reinvestment plan or bonus option plan, as in force from time to time, in accordance

with (and subject to) the rules of those plans. Shareholders who are subject to the

laws of a country or place other than Australia may not be eligible to participate,

because of legal requirements that apply in that country or place or in Australia. Until

the Board otherwise determines, participation in the ANZ NOHC's dividend

reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is not available directly or indirectly to any

entity or person (including any legal or beneficial owner of ANZ NOHC Ordinary

Shares) who is (or who is acting on behalf of or for the account or benefit of an entity

or person who is) in or resident in the United States (including its territories or

possessions) or Canada.

Rights of shareholders on a winding-up of the ANZ NOHC

lf the ANZ NOHC is wound up and its property is more than sufficient to pay all debts,

share capital of the ANZ NOHC and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be

divided among Shareholders in proportion to the capital paid up on the ANZ NOHC

Ordinary Shares at the commencement of the winding-up (subject to the rights of

holders of shares carrying preferred rights on winding-up). A partly paid ANZ NOHC

Ordinary Share is counted as a fraction of a fully paid ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share

9
equal to the proportion which the amount paid on it bears to the total issue price of

the ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share.

However, with the sanction of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide among

Shareholders the assets of the ANZ NOHC in kind and decide how the division is to

be carried out or vest assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of Shareholders

as the liquidator thinks appropriate.

Transfer of ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares

ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares may be transferred by any means permitted by the

Corporations Act or by law. The Board may decline to register a transfer where

permitted to do so under the ASX Listing Rules or the settlement operating rules of

the ASX (“ASX Settlement Operating Rules”), or where registration of the transfer is

forbidden by the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or ASX Settlement Operating

Rules. ln addition, subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and ASX

Settlement Operating Rules, the Board may decline to register a transfer if

registration would create a new holding of less than a marketable parcel under the

ASX Listing Rules.

lssues of further shares

Subject to the Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Board may

issue or grant options in respect of ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares on such terms as the

Board decides. The Board may also issue preference shares, including redeemable

preference shares, or convertible notes with preferred, deferred or special rights or

restrictions in relation to dividends, voting, return of capital and participation in surplus

on a winding-up of the ANZ NOHC.

Variation of the Constitution

The Constitution can only be modified by a special resolution in accordance with the

Corporations Act. Under the Corporations Act, for a resolution to be passed as a

special resolution it must be passed by at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast by

members entitled to vote on the resolution.

Variation of rights

The ANZ NOHC may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any class of shares

with the prior approval, by a special resolution, of the holders of shares in that class

at a meeting of those holders, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75

per. cent of the issued shares of that class. Subject to the terms of issue, the rights

attached to a class of shares are not treated as varied by the issue of further shares

which rank equally with that existing class for participation in profits and assets of the

ANZ NOHC.



SCHEDULE 2 – Description of rights and liabilities attaching to Ordinary Shares


The rights and liabilities attaching to Ordinary Shares are set out in the constitution of ANZ

NOHC ("Constitution") and are also regulated by the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and

Corporations Act. Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notices, financial statements and other

ASX Listing Rules.


Dividend entitlement

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the terms of issue of Ordinary Shares, the

board of directors of ANZ NOHC ("Board") may resolve to pay dividends on Ordinary Shares

which are considered by the Board to be appropriate, in proportion to the capital paid up on the

preferred rights).


Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan

Shareholders who are eligible may participate in ANZ NOHC's dividend reinvestment plan or

bonus option plan, as in force from time to time, in accordance with (and subject to) the rules of

those plans. Shareholders who are subject to the laws of a country or place other than Australia

may not be eligible to participate, because of legal requirements that apply in that country or

place or in Australia. Until the Board otherwise determines, participation in ANZ NOHC's dividend

reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is not available directly or indirectly to any entity or

person (including any legal or beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares) who is (or who is acting on

behalf of or for the account or benefit of an entity or person who is) in or resident in the United

States (including its territories or possessions) or Canada.


Rights of shareholders on a winding-up of ANZ NOHC

If ANZ NOHC is wound up and its property is more than sufficient to pay all debts, share capital

of ANZ NOHC and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be divided among Shareholders

in proportion to the capital paid up on the Ordinary Shares at the commencement of the

winding-up (subject to the rights of holders of shares carrying preferred rights on winding-up). A

partly paid Ordinary Share is counted as a fraction of a fully paid Ordinary Share equal to the

proportion which the amount paid on it bears to the total issue price of the Ordinary Share.


However, with the sanction of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide among

Shareholders the assets of ANZ NOHC in kind and decide how the division is to be carried out or

vest assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of Shareholders as the liquidator thinks

appropriate.

Rules or the settlement operating rules of the ASX ("ASX Settlement Operating Rules"), or



where registration of the transfer is forbidden by the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or ASX

Settlement Operating Rules. In addition, subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and

ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Board may decline to register a transfer if registration

would create a new holding of less than a marketable parcel under the ASX Listing Rules.


Issues of further shares

Subject to the Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Board may issue or

grant options in respect of Ordinary Shares on such terms as the Board decides. The Board may

also issue preference shares, including redeemable preference shares, or convertible notes with

preferred, deferred or special rights or restrictions in relation to dividends, voting, return of

capital and participation in surplus on a winding-up of ANZ NOHC.


Variation of the Constitution

The Constitution can only be modified by a special resolution in accordance with the

Corporations Act. Under the Corporations Act, for a resolution to be passed as a special

resolution it must be passed by at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast by members entitled to

vote on the resolution.

holders, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75 per cent. of the issued shares of

that class.


Subject to the terms of issue, the rights attached to a class of shares are not treated as varied

by the issue of further shares which rank equally with that existing class for participation in

profits and assets of ANZ NOHC.
