GUIDANCE FOR INVESTORS
Read this

Prospectus

in full

This Prospectus is important and you should read it in its entirety.

In considering whether to apply for Notes, it is important that:

•if you are a Retail Investor, you are within the Notes Target Market. The Notes Target Market is

set out in Section 4.1. If you are a Retail Investor, you can only apply for the Notes if you are within

the Notes Target Market and have received professional advice in relation to your Application

(see below for further details); and

•you consider all risks and other information regarding an investment in Notes in light of your

particular objectives, financial situation and needs, as the Offer and the information in this

Prospectus do not take into account those objectives and circumstances.

Understand

the risks

The Notes are complex, involve increased risks (outlined below) compared to other less risky and

less complex bank investments such as deposits and are not suitable for investors outside the Notes

Target Market. You should not see the Notes as an alternative to investments such as deposits.

The overall complexity of the Notes may make the Note Terms difficult to understand.

The Notes are not guaranteed or insured by any government, government agency, compensation

scheme or by ANZ Holdings or any other person.

If ANZ encounters severe financial difficulty, the Notes may be Converted into ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares or Written-Off and you may suffer a loss of your investment as a consequence.

Distributions on the Notes may not be paid.

The Notes may never Convert or be Redeemed and may remain on issue indefinitely.

The market price of Notes may move up and down.

The liquidity of the Notes may be low and you may be unable to sell Notes.

If you do not fully understand how the Note Terms work or the risks associated with the Notes,

you should not invest in them.

Speak to your

Syndicate

Broker or

professional

adviser

light of your particular objectives, financial situation and needs. You can only apply for the Notes if you are

within the Notes Target Market and you have received personal advice from a licensed professional adviser.

If you have any questions about the Offer, the Notes or the Notes Target Market, you should also

How to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

IMPACT OF THE DDO REGIME
ANZ Capital Notes 8 will be the second issue of capital notes by ANZ subject to the DDO regime. The DDO Regime is

intended to help Retail Investors obtain suitable financial products and imposes obligations that impact how the Offer

is made. The DDO Regime does not apply to or restrict the distribution of ANZ Capital Notes 8 to Wholesale Investors.

As the DDO Regime applies to the Offer, ANZ is required to make the Target Market Determination which describes,

among other things:

•the class of Retail Investors that comprise the target market for ANZ Capital Notes 8 (Notes Target Market); and

•the conditions on how ANZ Capital Notes 8 are to be distributed under the Offer to help make it likely that Retail

Investors who acquire ANZ Capital Notes 8 under the Offer are within that Notes Target Market.

As further described below, in response to the DDO Regime and consistent with the CN7 offer:

•ANZ has made the decision not to include a specific offer for ANZ securityholders and not to allow

Eligible CN3 Holders to apply directly to ANZ to participate in the Reinvestment Offer;

•ANZ Capital Notes 8 will only be available to investors who satisfy certain eligibility criteria; and

•all Applications must be submitted through a Syndicate Broker.

Requirements under the DDO Regime

The DDO Regime requires issuers of financial products

to make a “target market determination” and to take

reasonable steps that will, or are reasonably likely to, result

in the distribution of financial products to Retail Investors

being consistent with that target market determination.

The DDO Regime does not restrict trading in ANZ Capital

Notes 8 once issued. All investors will be able to buy and

sell ANZ Capital Notes 8 on the ASX at the prevailing

market price in the usual course once ANZ Capital Notes 8

commence trading on the ASX, even if they are not a

client of a Syndicate Broker. Investors who choose to buy

and sell ANZ Capital Notes 8 on the ASX may be required

to pay applicable brokerage.

What does this mean for ANZ Capital Notes 8?

The way the Offer will be conducted is consistent with the

CN7 offer. However, a number of changes have been made to

the way the Offer is conducted compared to other previous

ANZ retail hybrid security offers, including the CN3 offer.

Applications can only be made through

a Syndicate Broker

All Applications must be submitted through a Syndicate

Broker and you must contact your Syndicate Broker for

instructions on how to apply.

Not all brokers will be Syndicate Brokers. The Syndicate

Brokers are the Joint Lead Managers, the Co-Managers and

any other Participating Brokers in the Offer.

Notes Target Market

The Notes Target Market describes the class of Retail

Investors for whom an investment in ANZ Capital Notes 8

is likely to be consistent with their investment objectives,

financial situation and particular needs.

The Notes Target Market is set out in Section 4.1 and

a copy of the Target Market Determination is available at

capitalnotes.anz.com.

Distribution conditions

The Target Market Determination also sets out distribution

conditions under which ANZ Capital Notes 8 can be

distributed to Retail Investors to help make it likely that that

those Retail Investors are in the Notes Target Market.

Eligible Retail Investors

Retail Investors who are clients of a Syndicate Broker and

have received personal advice from a qualified financial

adviser in connection with the Offer and meet the other

eligibility criteria.

Ineligible Retail Investors

•Retail Investors who are not clients of a Syndicate Broker.

•Retail Investors who have not received personal

advice from a qualified financial adviser in connection

with the Offer.

•Retail Investors who do not meet the other

eligibility criteria.

questions about the Offer, ANZ Capital Notes 8 or the Notes Target Market, you should contact your Syndicate Broker or a

qualified financial adviser. You can also call the ANZ Information Line on 1800 113 399 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4010

IssuerAustralia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522)

(ANZ). ANZ is an ADI and a subsidiary of ANZ Holdings. ANZ Holdings is the

non-operating holding company of ANZ Group. ANZ Holdings does not

guarantee or otherwise provide any assurance in respect of the Notes.

Section 5

Type of instrumentANZ Capital Notes 8 are:

•fully paid – at $100 per Note;

•convertible – in certain circumstances, the Notes will Convert into ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares;

•redeemable and resaleable – in certain circumstances, ANZ may be

permitted to repay the Face Value of the Notes or transfer the Notes to a

third party (but there are significant restrictions on repayment or transfer

of the Notes);

•non-cumulative – Distributions are discretionary and unpaid

Distributions do not accumulate. Holders will not have any right to

compensation if ANZ does not pay a Distribution;

•perpetual – the Notes do not have any fixed maturity date and could

remain on issue indefinitely if they are not Converted or Redeemed (in

which case you would not receive your capital back or be issued any

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares);

•unsecured – they are not secured, are not deposit liabilities of ANZ or

ANZ Holdings are not protected accounts for the purposes of the Banking

Act and are not guaranteed by ANZ Holdings or any other person;

•subordinated – subordinated to the claims of Senior Creditors

(including ANZ depositors) in a winding-up, but rank equally with Equal

Ranking Instruments and ahead of ANZ Ordinary Shares;

•exposed to Trigger Events – where a Trigger Event occurs (which

includes where ANZ encounters severe financial difficulty), the Notes

are subject to Conversion into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares or Write

Off, in which case Holders are likely to suffer loss; and

•listed – ANZ has applied for Notes to be listed on ASX and Notes are

expected to trade under ASX code “AN3PK”.

The Note Terms are complex and derive from the detailed capital

requirements which APRA applies to these instruments, including that the

Notes absorb losses by being Converted or Written Off where a Trigger

Event (including severe financial difficulty) occurs. In this way, the Notes

and ANZ’s other regulatory capital instruments help to protect ANZ’s

depositors and Senior Creditors from losses ANZ may incur.

ANZ’s ability to pay a Distribution or to Convert, Redeem or Resell the Notes

at its option are in each case subject to a number of restrictions, including,

in the case of payment of a Distribution, APRA not objecting to the

Distribution and, in the case of Conversion, Redemption or Resale, APRA

giving its prior written approval to the Conversion, Redemption or Resale.

Offer size$1.5 billion, with the ability to raise more or less.

There is no minimum subscription amount under the Offer.

Face Value$100 per Note. This is the price you need to pay to apply for each

Note under this Prospectus.

Purpose of the OfferANZ is issuing the Notes to help meet the capital requirements for ADIs

set by APRA. APRA requires ANZ to maintain a level of regulatory capital

to help promote the stability of ANZ and protect ANZ’s depositors and

other creditors.

1.1 KEY FEATURES OF THE OFFER AND ANZ CAPITAL NOTES 8

07

How to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

TopicSummaryWhere to find
more information

Regulatory

treatment

APRA has confirmed that the Notes will constitute Additional Tier 1 Capital

for the purposes of ANZ’s regulatory capital requirements.

Use of proceedsANZ will use the proceeds of the Offer to refinance CN3 and for general

corporate purposes.

DistributionsDistributions are cash payments on the Notes which are scheduled to

be paid quarterly until all Notes are Converted or Redeemed.

The Distribution Rate is calculated in accordance with the

following formula:

Distribution Rate = (BBSW Rate + Margin) x (1 – Tax Rate)

Where:

•Margin is 2.75%, as determined under the Bookbuild; and

•Tax Rate is the Australian corporate tax rate applicable to the franking

account of ANZ Holdings as at the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Tax Rate is 30%.

Section 2.1

FrankingDistributions paid on the Notes are expected to be franked at the same

rate as dividends on ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares.

The effect of the Distributions being franked is to reduce the cash amount

received by Holders on each Distribution Payment Date by an amount

equal to the relevant level of franking. If a Distribution is not fully franked,

the cash amount of the Distribution will be increased to compensate the

Holder for the unfranked component.

If Distributions are franked, the value and availability of franking credits to

a Holder will depend on that Holder’s particular circumstances and the tax

rules that apply at the time of each Distribution. The availability of franking

credits is not guaranteed and will depend on a number of factors, including

the level of profits generated by ANZ Group that will be subject to tax in

Australia. Holders should refer to the Australian taxation summary in

Section 7.

Section 2.1.3

Payment of

Distributions

Payments of Distributions are at the absolute discretion of ANZ, which

means ANZ does not have to pay them. Distributions are also only payable

if the Payment Conditions are satisfied.

Distributions are non-cumulative which means that unpaid Distributions

do not accumulate and Holders will not have any right to compensation

if ANZ does not pay a Distribution. Failure to pay a Distribution when

scheduled will not constitute an event of default.

If a Distribution is not paid in full on a Distribution Payment Date, subject to

certain exceptions, ANZ cannot pay or resolve to pay any ANZ Ordinary Share

Dividend, or undertake any Buy-Back (as defined in the Note Terms) or Capital

Reduction, until and including the next Distribution Payment Date (unless

the Distribution is paid in full within 3 Business Days of the Distribution

Payment Date). There are no equivalent restrictions on ANZ Holdings.

Sections 2.1.5 –

2.1.9

Distribution

Payment Dates

The Distribution Payment Dates are, generally, 20 March, 20 June,

20 September and 20 December.

The first Distribution is scheduled to be paid on 20 June 2023.

You should note that the first Distribution Period is shorter than

the normal Distribution Period.

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

TopicSummaryWhere to find
more information

Do ANZ Capital

Notes 8 have a

maturity date?

Holders should be aware that the Notes do not have a fixed maturity date.

While the Notes are scheduled to Convert into ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares on 20 September 2032, that Conversion is subject to conditions

which may never be met. Accordingly, if the Notes are not Exchanged (via

Conversion, Redemption or Resale), they could remain on issue indefinitely.

Holders have no right to request or require an Exchange.

It is expected that the Notes will be quoted on ASX. Unless an Exchange

occurs, Holders would need to sell their Notes on ASX at the prevailing

market price to realise their investment. That market price may be less than

the Face Value, or there may be no liquid market in the Notes which may

result in Holders suffering a loss.

Sections 2.2 – 2.5

Role of ANZ HoldingsANZ Holdings is not the issuer of the Notes and does not guarantee or

provide any assurance in respect of, ANZ’s obligations under the Note Terms.

Under the Capital Notes 8 Deed Poll, ANZ Holdings agrees to Convert the

Notes into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares when required to do so under

the Terms and otherwise to comply with the Terms.

If a Note is Converted, on the Conversion date:

•the Note will be automatically transferred from the Holder to

ANZ Holdings; and

•ANZ Holdings will issue to the Holder the number of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the Note Terms.

ANZ does not guarantee or otherwise provide assurance in respect

of ANZ Holdings’ obligations in connection with Conversion.

Section 2.2.5

1.2 SUMMARY OF CERTAIN EVENTS THAT MAY OCCUR WHILE THE

ANZ CAPITAL NOTES 8 ARE ON ISSUE

The diagram and table below summarise certain events that may occur while the ANZ Capital Notes 8 are on issue, and

what Holders may receive if those events occur. The events depend on a number of factors including ANZ Holdings’ share

price, the occurrence of contingencies and in some cases election by ANZ. As a result the events may not occur.

are met, Notes will be Converted,

9 If a Note is Written Off, that Note will not be Converted or Exchanged, all rights (including to Distributions) in respect of that Note will be terminated, and the

Holder will not have their capital repaid.

10 However, if the Notes are not Converted for any reason (including an Inability Event) into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares within 5 Business Days after a Trigger

Event Conversion Date, the Notes will be Written Off, meaning the Notes will never Convert or be Exchanged, all rights (including to Distributions) in respect

of the Notes will be terminated and the Holder will not have their capital repaid.

1.3 RANKING OF NOTES IN A WINDING-UP OF ANZ
The table below illustrates how the Notes would rank upon a winding-up of ANZ, if they are on issue at the time. In the table,

a ‘higher ranking’ obligation is one which will be paid out of ANZ’s available assets in a winding-up before obligations with a

lower ranking. It may be that lower ranking securityholders, including Holders, will only have part or none of their obligations

paid (in the case of Holders, the claim for the Face Value), as there may be insufficient assets remaining to do so after higher

ranking obligations have been paid.

As shown in the table below, in a winding-up of ANZ, the Notes rank ahead of ANZ’s Ordinary Shares, equally among

themselves, equally with Equal Ranking Instruments (including ANZ Capital Securities) and behind all Senior Creditors

of ANZ, including depositors.

holders of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares. If, following

a Trigger Event, Notes are Written Off, Holders have no

claim at all on ANZ or ANZ Holdings (even though ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares will still be on issue), and they

are likely to be worse off than holders of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares or ANZ Ordinary Shares

1.5 KEY RISKS OF ANZ CAPITAL NOTES 8

Before deciding whether to apply for Notes, you should consider whether the Notes are a suitable investment for you.

There are risks associated with investing in Notes, in ANZ and in the ANZ Group generally. Many of those risks are outside the

control of ANZ, ANZ Holdings and their respective directors. The key risks are detailed in Section 6 and you should read that

section in full before deciding to invest. The table below outlines the key risks associated with an investment in the Notes.

Notes 8 are

not deposit

liabilities or

accounts

ANZ Capital Notes 8 are not deposit liabilities of ANZ or ANZ Holdings, are not

protected accounts for the purposes of the Banking Act or any other accounts

with ANZ or ANZ Holdings and are not guaranteed or insured by ANZ Holdings or

any other person.

Section 6.1.16

(each as defined in the CN7 terms).

Financial

market

conditions

and liquidity

of Notes

The market price of the Notes may move up or down due to various factors

that affect financial market conditions. It is possible that the Notes may trade

at a market price below their Face Value of $100. This means that Holders who

seek to sell their Notes at that time may do so at a loss.

The liquidity of the Notes may be low and the market for the Notes may be

volatile. This means that Holders may not be able to sell their Notes at an

acceptable price, at or above Face Value or at all. The market for the Notes may

be less liquid and/or more volatile than the market for ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares or other securities issued by ANZ, ANZ Holdings or other entities.

Sections 6.1.1

and 6.1.3

Distributions

may not

be paid

There is a risk that Distributions may not be paid. If a Distribution is not paid in full

on a Distribution Payment Date, Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect

of non-payment nor any right to receive that Distribution at any later time.

Non-payment is not an event of default.

Section 6.1.6

Changes in

Distribution

Rate

The Distribution Rate will move up or down over time as a result of movements in

the BBSW Rate. There is a risk that the Distribution Rate may become less attractive

when compared to the rates of return available on other investments.

Section 6.1.8

Mandatory

Conversion

may not occur

on the

Mandatory

Conversion

Date

ANZ Capital Notes 8 have no fixed maturity date but will Convert into ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares on 20 September 2032 if the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are

satisfied, unless Notes are otherwise Exchanged on or before that date.

If these conditions are not met on 20 September 2032, Conversion will occur

on the next Distribution Payment Date on which they are satisfied. There is a risk

that Conversion will not occur because the Mandatory Conversion Conditions

are not satisfied.

If the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are never satisfied there is a risk

that the Notes may never Convert and could remain on issue indefinitely.

Sections 2.2.2

and 6.1.10

Holders have

no right to

request early

Exchange

Holders have no right to request that their Notes be Exchanged. Unless their

Notes are Exchanged, to realise their investment, Holders would need to sell their

Notes on the ASX at the prevailing market price. That price may be less than the

Face Value, and there may be no liquid market in the Notes. The Note Terms

contain no events of default.

Section 6.1.12

Mandatory

Conversion

or Write Off

following a

Trigger Event

If a Trigger Event occurs and Notes are Converted, the number of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares a Holder will receive for each Note is limited to the Maximum

Conversion Number. This means that, depending on the market price of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares at the time, Holders are likely to receive significantly less

than approximately $101 worth of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares per Note and to

suffer loss as a consequence. Where Conversion is not effected within five Business

Days after the Trigger Event Conversion Date for any reason (including an Inability

Event), the Notes will be Written Off. This means that those Notes will never

Convert or be Exchanged and all rights (including to Distributions and to Face

Value in respect of those Notes) will be terminated with effect on and from the

Trigger Event Conversion Date. A Holder’s investment will lose all of its value, they

will not have their capital repaid and they will not receive any compensation.

A Trigger Event may occur at any time.

Sections 2.5

and 6.1.11

Ranking in a

winding-up

of ANZ

On a winding-up of ANZ, the Notes rank for payment ahead of ANZ Ordinary

Shares, equally among themselves, equally with Equal Ranking Instruments

(including ANZ Capital Securities), and behind all Senior Creditors, including

depositors. This means that, on a winding-up, there is a risk that Holders will

lose all or some of their investment. If the Notes have been Converted into

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares prior to a winding-up of ANZ, the ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares received on Conversion will rank equally with other ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares. If Notes are Written Off, those Notes will never Convert or be

Exchanged and Holders will not have their capital repaid at all.

Ordinary Shares will move up or down due to various factors, including investor

performance and position, and transactions affecting the share capital of ANZ

Holdings. As a result, the price used to calculate the number of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares received by Holders upon Conversion may also be different

to the market price of the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares when they are issued

or thereafter.

ANZ and the ANZ Group generally, see Section 6.2.

ANZ and ANZ Group's financial performance and position may also affect any

credit ratings associated with ANZ's and ANZ Holdings' securities, which may

impact the market price and liquidity of the Notes. Any credit rating applicable

2.1 DISTRIBUTIONS

ANZ Capital Notes 8 are expected to pay quarterly floating rate non-cumulative Distributions, which are expected to be

franked at the same rate as dividends on ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares and accordingly Holders are expected to receive a

combination of cash Distributions and franking credits until all Notes are Converted, Redeemed or Written Off. Payment of

the Distributions is at ANZ’s discretion and subject to the payment not resulting in ANZ breaching APRA’s capital adequacy

requirements or becoming (or being likely to become) insolvent, or APRA objecting to the payment (the Payment

Conditions). The Payment Conditions are described in Section 2.1.6 below.

Distributions on Notes are based on a floating rate and are non-cumulative. This means that if a Distribution or part of a

Distribution is not paid on a Distribution Payment Date, Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of non-payment

nor any right to receive that Distribution at any later time. All payments of Distributions are subject to applicable law.

2.1.1

How will the

Distribution Rate

be calculated?

The Distribution Rate for each Distribution Period will be set on the first

Business Day of each Distribution Period and will be calculated using the

following formula:

Distribution Rate = (BBSW Rate + Margin) x (1 – Tax Rate) where:

BBSW Rate means the BBSW Rate on the first Business Day of the

Distribution Period – see Section 2.1.4;

Margin is 2.75%, as determined under the Bookbuild; and

Tax Rate is the Australian corporate tax rate applicable to the franking

account of ANZ Holdings as at the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Tax Rate is 30%, although the Tax Rate

may change in future years – see Section 6.1.19.

For example, assuming the BBSW Rate on the first Business Day of the

Distribution Period is 3.50% per annum and given the Margin is 2.75%

per annum, then the Distribution Rate for that Distribution Period would

be calculated as follows:

BBSW Rate 3.5000% per annum

Plus the Margin + 2.7500% per annum

Equivalent unfranked distribution rate 6.2500% per annum

Multiplied by (1 – Tax Rate) x 0.70

Indicative Distribution Rate 4.3750% per annum

Clause 3.1 of

the Note Terms

How to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

2.1 DISTRIBUTIONS (CONT)

2.1.2

How will the

Distribution be

calculated for each

Distribution Period?

Distributions scheduled to be paid on each Distribution Payment

Date will be calculated using the following formula:

Distribution = Face Value x Distribution Rate × N

365

where:

Face Value means $100 per Note;

Distribution Rate means the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum)

calculated as set out in Section 2.1.1; and

N means the number of days in the Distribution Period calculated as

set out in the Note Terms.

For example, if the Distribution Rate was 4.3750% per annum and assuming

Distributions on the Notes are fully franked, then the cash Distribution on

each Note for that Distribution Period (if the Distribution Period was for

91 days) would be calculated as follows:

Indicative Distribution Rate 4.3750% per annum

Multiplied by the Face Value x $100.00

Multiplied by the number of days

in the Distribution Period

15

x 91

Divided by 365 ÷ 365

Indicative fully franked cash Distribution

payment for the Distribution Period per Note $1.0908

Where Distributions are not fully franked, an additional cash payment

is made to compensate for the unfranked component. Details of the

additional payment are set out in Section 2.1.3.

The above example is for illustrative purposes only. Actual Distributions

may be higher or lower than this example.

The Distribution Rate for the first Distribution Period will be set on the

Issue Date and will include the Margin determined under the Bookbuild.

You should note that the Distribution Period for the first Distribution is

a shorter period of 88 days and Distribution Periods will otherwise

generally be 90 to 92 days.

Clauses 3.1, 13

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

15 Distribution Periods will otherwise generally contain 90 to 92 days.

2.1 DISTRIBUTIONS (CONT)

2.1.3

What is the impact

of franking credits?

Distributions on the Notes will be franked at the same rate as dividends on the

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares. ANZ Holdings has not yet paid a dividend, and

ANZ’s most recent ordinary dividend paid in December 2022 was franked at

100%. The level of franking may vary over time and Distributions may be

partially, fully or not franked.

If the potential value of the franking credits is taken into account in full,

the Distribution Rate of 4.3750% per annum in the example in Section 2.1.2

would be equivalent to an unfranked distribution rate of approximately

6.2500% per annum.

If any Distribution is not franked or only partially franked, the amount

of the cash Distribution will be increased to compensate for the unfranked

component, subject to the Payment Conditions. Clause 3.2 of the Note

Terms sets out the method of calculation for the additional payment.

For example, if the franking rate applicable to the Distribution was only 90%,

then the cash Distribution on each Note for that Distribution Period (if the

Distribution Period was for 91 days) would be calculated as follows:

If the corporate tax rate applicable to ANZ Holdings were to change,

the cash amount of Distributions and the amount of any franking credits

would change. For instance, if the tax rate decreases the cash amount of any

Distribution ANZ may pay would increase and the franking credits attached

change. Holders should refer to the Taxation Summary in Section 7 and

What is the

BBSW Rate?

The BBSW Rate is a benchmark 3 month floating interest rate for the Australian

money market. It is used as a reference for the pricing, rate-setting and valuation

of Australian dollar financial securities and is administered by ASX and is

published on various information services. It changes to reflect supply and

demand in the cash and currency markets. The BBSW Rate for each Distribution

Period is set on the first Business Day of the relevant Distribution Period.

The graph below illustrates the movement in the BBSW Rate since 2006. The rate

on 14 February 2023 was 3.50% per annum.

The above graph is for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate,

guarantee or forecast the actual BBSW Rate. The actual BBSW Rate for the

first and subsequent Distribution Periods may be higher or lower than the

rates in the above graph.

If ANZ determines that BBSW has been affected by a “Reference Rate

Disruption Event”, ANZ may select an alternative reference rate that it

considers appropriate and make other related changes to the Terms (subject,

in each case, to APRA’s prior written approval). Broadly, a “Reference Rate

Disruption Event” occurs where BBSW has been discontinued or has ceased to

be generally accepted in the Australian market for securities such as the Notes.

ANZ is required to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner

in selecting an alternative reference rate, and may consult with sources that it

considers appropriate, but may otherwise exercise its discretion.

2.1.5

When are the

Distribution

Payment Dates?

Subject to ANZ’s absolute discretion and the Payment Conditions,

Distributions are payable quarterly in arrears on the Distribution Payment

Dates. The first Distribution Payment Date is 20 June 2023.

Subsequent Distribution Payment Dates occur on 20 March, 20 June, 20

September and 20 December each year. If any of these dates are not Business

Days, then the Distribution Payment Date will occur on the next Business Day.

In addition, if Exchange occurs on a day that is not a scheduled Distribution

Payment Date (other than an Exchange as a result of a Trigger Event, in which

case all rights to payment of Distributions are terminated), Holders whose

Notes are being Exchanged will also receive a Distribution in respect of those

Notes for the period from the immediately preceding Distribution Payment

Date to (but excluding) the date on which Exchange occurs, subject to ANZ’s

absolute discretion and the Payment Conditions.

Clauses 3.3, 3.5

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

2.1.6

What are

the Payment

Conditions?

Distributions may not always be paid. The payment of each Distribution is

subject to ANZ’s absolute discretion and no Payment Condition existing in

respect of the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

A Payment Condition will exist where:

• the payment of Distributions will result in ANZ (on a Level 1 basis) or

the ANZ Group (on a Level 2 basis or, if applicable, a Level 3 basis) not

complying with APRA’s then current capital adequacy requirements;

•the payment of Distributions would result in ANZ becoming, or being

likely to become, insolvent for the purposes of the Corporations Act; or

•APRA objects to the payment of the Distribution.

All payments are subject to applicable law.

Clauses 3.3, 13.9

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

2.1.7

What is the

Distribution

Restriction and

when will it apply?

If for any reason a Distribution has not been paid in full on a Distribution

Payment Date (the Relevant Distribution Payment Date), ANZ must not,

subject to certain exceptions, without approval of a Special Resolution, until

and including the next quarterly Distribution Payment Date:

•resolve to pay or pay any ANZ Ordinary Share Dividend; or

•undertake any Buy-Back (as defined in the Note Terms) or Capital Reduction,

unless the Distribution is paid in full within 3 Business Days of the Relevant

Distribution Payment Date.

There is no restriction on ANZ Holdings resolving to pay or paying any

dividend on, or buying back, or reducing capital on, ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares. However, ANZ Holdings capacity to do so may be reduced by the

application of the Distribution Restriction on ANZ.

Clauses 3.7

Are any deductions

made on the

Distributions?

ANZ may deduct from any Distribution payable in accordance with the

Note Terms the amount of any tax required by law to be deducted in

respect of such amount.

ANZ may also make a deduction on account of FATCA and is not required

to pay an additional amount (or take any further action) where it has made

How will

Distributions

be paid?

Distributions are scheduled to be paid to Holders whose details are recorded

with the Registry on the relevant Record Date (as defined in the Note Terms).

Distributions and any other amount payable will be paid by:

•electronic transfer to an Australian dollar bank account maintained in

Australia with a financial institution nominated by the Holder; or

•at ANZ’s option, if no such account is nominated, sending a cheque

to the address of the Holder.

To receive a payment, a Holder will need to notify the Registry by close of

business on the relevant Record Date (as defined in the Note Terms) of an

Australian dollar bank account maintained in Australia with a financial

institution to which payment should be made. If the Holder does not so notify

the Registry, or the payment does not complete, the amount will be held as a

non-interest bearing deposit until such account is nominated, claims may no

longer be made in respect of that amount or ANZ deals with the amount in

accordance with the laws relating to unclaimed moneys.

Clause 13 of the

Note Terms

2.2 MANDATORY CONVERSION

ANZ Capital Notes 8 do not have a maturity date but are scheduled to be Converted into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on

20 September 2032 if the Notes have not been Exchanged prior to that date, provided that certain conditions are met.

These conditions may never be satisfied and therefore Notes may never Convert into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares.

2.2.2

What are the

Mandatory

Conversion

Conditions?

Conversion will not occur unless all the Mandatory Conversion Conditions

are satisfied.

The Mandatory Conversion Conditions are:

•First Mandatory Conversion Condition: the VWAP on the 25th Business

Day before a potential Mandatory Conversion Date is greater than 56.00%

of the Issue Date VWAP.

•Second Mandatory Conversion Condition: the VWAP during the period

of 20 Business Days in which trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares took

place before a potential Mandatory Conversion Date is greater than 50.51%

of the Issue Date VWAP.

•Third Mandatory Conversion Condition: no Delisting Event applies to

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares in respect of the possible Mandatory

Conversion Date. Broadly, a Delisting Event occurs when ANZ Holdings is

delisted, ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares have been suspended from trading

for a certain period, or ANZ or ANZ Holdings is prevented by applicable law

or any other reason from performing any of their obligations necessary to

effect Conversion of the Notes.

2.2 MANDATORY CONVERSION (CONT)

2.2.3

What are the

reasons for

the Mandatory

Conversion

Conditions?

It is intended that upon Mandatory Conversion of a Note, the Holder receives

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares worth approximately $101 that are capable of

being sold on ASX.

There is a cap on the maximum number of shares that Holders can be issued

on conversion of an instrument such as ANZ Capital Notes 8 due to Prudential

Standards and ratings agency requirements. The maximum number is based

on the Issue Date VWAP of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares and, in the case of

Mandatory Conversion, is set by dividing the Face Value of the Notes by 50%

of the Issue Date VWAP.

If the price of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares were to fall significantly and there

were no Mandatory Conversion Conditions, the number of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares that you would receive might be limited by that cap and in

that case the value of those ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares would be likely to

be less than $101. To give Holders some protection against receiving ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares worth less than approximately $101, the First and

Second Mandatory Conversion Conditions have been included, so that where

the VWAP of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares has fallen to less than the specified

percentage of the Issue Date VWAP, Mandatory Conversion is deferred.

So that Holders receive ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on Conversion that are

capable of being sold on ASX, the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition has

been included. Essentially, it provides that if ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares are

not listed, Mandatory Conversion is deferred.

Clauses 4.3 and 6

of the Note Terms

2.2.4

Until when is

Mandatory

Conversion deferred

if the Mandatory

Conversion

Conditions are

not satisfied?

If any of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are not satisfied, Mandatory

Conversion is deferred until the next Distribution Payment Date on which all

of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are satisfied. Since the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions may never be satisfied, Mandatory Conversion may

never occur.

Clauses 4.2

and 4.3 of the

Note Terms

2.2.5

How does

Conversion occur?

If a Note is Converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date, on that date:

•the Note will be automatically transferred from the Holder to

ANZ Holdings; and

•ANZ Holdings will issue to the Holder the number of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares calculated using the formula set out below.

ANZ, ANZ BH and ANZ Holdings have agreed that where a Conversion occurs,

ANZ Holdings will subscribe for ordinary shares in ANZ BH and ANZ BH will

subscribe for ANZ Ordinary Shares, in each case, for aggregate consideration

equal to the aggregate Face Value of Notes being Converted. These steps are

referred to as “Related Conversion Steps”.

2.2 MANDATORY CONVERSION (CONT)

2.2.6

How many ANZ

Holdings Ordinary

Shares will Holders

receive on

Mandatory

Conversion?

If Notes are Converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date, Holders will

receive a number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares per Note that is equivalent

to the number calculated using the following formula:

Face Value

99% x VWAP

The VWAP for this purpose is the VWAP during the 20 Business Days on which

trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares took place before the Mandatory

Conversion Date.

In the above calculation there is a small Conversion discount since selling

costs are likely to apply to the sale of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on ASX.

For example, assuming the VWAP is $26.00, the number of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares a Holder would receive following Conversion on a Mandatory

Conversion Date would be calculated as follows:

Face Value $100.00

Divided by VWAP x 0.99 ÷ 25.74

Ordinary Shares per Note 3.8850

Assuming the price of those ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on the

Mandatory Conversion Date is also $26.00, the aggregate value of those

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares (calculated by multiplying 3.8850 by $26.00)

would be approximately $101.

The above example is for illustrative purposes only. The actual VWAP and

the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares Holders might receive on

Conversion on the Mandatory Conversion Date may be higher or lower

than in this example.

Clauses 6

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

2.2.7

What is the Issue

Date VWAP?

The Issue Date VWAP is the VWAP during the period of 20 Business Days on

which trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares took place immediately

preceding (but not including) the first date on which Notes were issued,

subject to certain adjustments (described in Section 2.2.8 below).

Clause 17.2 of

the Note Terms

2.2.8

What adjustments

to the Issue Date

VWAP are made to

account for

changes to ANZ

Holdings’ capital

and what is their

effect?

The Issue Date VWAP may be adjusted to reflect a consolidation, division or

reclassification of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares and pro rata bonus issues as

set out in the Note Terms (but not other transactions, including rights issues,

which may affect the capital of ANZ Holdings). Since the First Mandatory

Conversion Condition and Second Mandatory Conversion Condition are

expressed in terms of percentages of the Issue Date VWAP, an adjustment

alters the VWAP of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares at which those conditions

would be satisfied.

However, no adjustment shall be made to the Issue Date VWAP where such

adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less than one per cent of the

Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

2.3 OPTIONAL EXCHANGE BY ANZ

ANZ Capital Notes 8 have no fixed maturity but ANZ may choose to Exchange all or some ANZ Capital Notes 8 on an

Optional Exchange Date or after a Tax Event or Regulatory Event occurs, in each case if APRA has given its approval and

certain conditions are met. In addition, ANZ (or any other member of the ANZ Group) may at any time purchase Notes in

the open market or otherwise, at any price (subject to the prior written approval of APRA).

2.3.1

What does

Exchange mean?

Exchange means:

•Notes are Converted into a variable number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares with a value

17

of approximately $101 per Note;

•Notes are Redeemed for $100 per Note;

•Notes are Resold to a purchaser nominated by ANZ (that cannot be ANZ,

ANZ Holdings or any other Related Entity of ANZ) for $100 per Note; or

•a combination of the above.

No Exchange elected by ANZ will occur without APRA’s prior written

approval and unless certain conditions are met.

Holders should not expect that APRA will give its approval for any Exchange.

Clauses 5, 6, 7, 8

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

2.3.2

When are

the Optional

Exchange Dates?

The Distribution Payment Date falling on 20 March 2030, 20 June 2030 or

20 September 2030.

Clause 17.2 of

the Note Terms

2.3.3

What is a

Tax Event?

Broadly, a Tax Event will occur if ANZ receives professional advice that,

as a result of:

•a change in the tax law in Australia;

•an administrative pronouncement or ruling affecting taxation in Australia; or

•a challenge by a taxing authority in Australia in connection with the Notes,

on or after the Issue Date (and which on the Issue Date was not expected by

ANZ to occur), there is more than an insubstantial risk which the Directors

determine to be unacceptable that ANZ, ANZ Holdings or another member

of the ANZ Group would be exposed to more than a de minimis adverse tax

consequence or increased cost in relation to Notes being on issue or any

Distribution would not be a frankable distribution for tax purposes.

Clauses 5.1

and 17.2 of the

Note Terms

17 Based on the VWAP during a period, being 20 Business Days, on which trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding the Exchange

Date. The VWAP of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares during the relevant period before the Exchange Date that is used to calculate the number of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares that Holders receive may differ from the Ordinary Share price on or after the Exchange Date. This means that the value of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares received may be more or less than anticipated when they are issued or thereafter.

2.3.4

What is a

Regulatory Event?

Broadly, a Regulatory Event will occur if:

•ANZ receives legal advice that, as a result of a change of Australian

law or regulation or any statement of APRA on or after the Issue Date

(and which on the Issue Date was not expected by ANZ to occur)

(a Regulatory Change),

−additional requirements (which are more than de minimis) would

be imposed on ANZ or ANZ Holdings; or

−there would be a negative impact on ANZ or ANZ Holdings in

relation to Notes which is more than de minimis,

and which the Directors determine to be unacceptable; or

•the Directors determine that, as a result of a Regulatory Change, ANZ is

not or will not be entitled to treat all Notes as Additional Tier 1 Capital.

Clauses 5.1 and

17.2 of the Note

Terms

2.3.5

Are there

restrictions on

which Exchange

Method ANZ

may choose?

Yes. Please see Sections 2.3.6 and 2.3.8 below. In addition, where there is an

Exchange on an Optional Exchange Date and the Exchange Method is

Conversion, the Exchange Notice must be given no earlier than 25 Business

Days before the Optional Exchange Date. Where the Exchange Method is

Redemption or Resale, the notice period is only 5 Business Days.

Clause 5.2 of the

Note Terms

2.3.6

What are the

conditions or

restrictions on

Conversion as the

Exchange Method?

If ANZ wishes to Exchange Notes by Converting them, there are two types

of restrictions which apply:

•Restrictions on choosing to Convert

ANZ may not choose to Convert Notes if on the second Business Day

before the date on which an Exchange Notice is to be sent:

−the VWAP is less than or equal to 22.50% of the Issue Date VWAP; or

−a Delisting Event has occurred.

•Restrictions on completing the Conversion

If ANZ has sent an Exchange Notice, ANZ must not Convert the Notes

if the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the Third Mandatory

Conversion Condition would not be satisfied in respect of the Exchange

Date. This restriction is tested as if the Exchange Date were a possible

Mandatory Conversion Date and as if the Second Mandatory Conversion

Condition referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date VWAP.

If that occurs, ANZ will notify Holders and the Conversion will be deferred

until the next Distribution Payment Date on which the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions would be satisfied.

The percentages used in the above conditions are derived from market

precedents and the cap on the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares

that are permitted to be issued in these circumstances under the Prudential

Standards and ratings agency requirements. The cap in the case of Conversion

in these circumstances is set by dividing the Face Value of the Notes by 20%

of the Issue Date VWAP.

If the Notes are Converted on an Optional Exchange Date or following a

Tax Event or Regulatory Event, Holders will receive a variable number of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares with a value of approximately $101 (based on a

VWAP during a period of 20 Business Days in which trading in ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares took place before the Conversion date).

On the Conversion date:

•the Notes being Converted will be automatically transferred from Holders

to ANZ Holdings; and

•ANZ Holdings will issue to Holders the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares calculated as set out above.

Clauses 5 and 6

of the Note Terms

2.3.8

Are there any

restrictions on

Redemption?

ANZ may only elect to Redeem Notes with APRA’s prior written approval.

ANZ is not permitted to Redeem any Note at any time unless those Notes

being Redeemed are replaced concurrently or beforehand with Tier 1 Capital

of the same or better quality as the Notes and the replacement of the Notes is

done under conditions that are sustainable for ANZ’s income capacity, or APRA

is satisfied that the capital position of the ANZ Level 1 Group, the ANZ Level 2

Group and, if applicable, the ANZ Level 3 Group is well above its minimum

capital requirements after ANZ elects to Redeem the Notes.

Clauses 5.2(c) and

7 of the Note

Terms

2.3.9

What happens

on Resale?

ANZ may only elect to Resell Notes with APRA’s prior written approval. If ANZ

elects for Notes to be Resold, subject to payment by the Purchaser of the Face

Value of those Notes, the Holder’s Notes will be transferred to the Purchaser on

the Exchange Date. If the Purchaser does not pay the Face Value of any Notes,

these Notes will not be transferred and the Holder has no claim against ANZ

as a result of the non-payment.

ANZ may appoint one or more Purchasers for the Resale on such terms as

may be agreed between ANZ and the Purchaser and to the extent that any

such terms may cause the Notes to cease to be Additional Tier 1 Capital, with

the prior written approval of APRA. These may include terms as to:

•the conditions of any Resale;

•the substitution of another entity as Purchaser; and

•the terms (if any) on which any Notes acquired by a Purchaser may

be dealt with.

If ANZ appoints more than one Purchaser in respect of a Resale, all or any of

the Notes held by a Holder which are being Resold may be purchased by any

one or any combination of the Purchasers, as determined by ANZ.

ANZ may not appoint itself, ANZ Holdings or another Related Entity as

a Purchaser.

Clause 8 of the

Note Terms

2.3.10

What factors

will influence

ANZ’s decision

to Exchange

the Notes?

ANZ will consider a number of factors when determining whether to

Exchange all or some Notes on an Optional Exchange Date or after a Tax Event

or Regulatory Event occurs. Those factors will include, among other things,

ANZ’s regulatory capital requirements and financial condition at the time, the

market conditions prevailing at the time and the cost to ANZ of replacing the

Notes with another form of Additional Tier 1 Capital.

2.3.11

Can Holders

2.4 CONVERSION FOLLOWING A CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT

If a Change of Control Event occurs, ANZ must give a notice to Convert all ANZ Capital Notes 8 on issue into a number of

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares.

2.4.1

When will a

Change of Control

Event occur?

Broadly, a Change of Control Event occurs if:

•steps are taken to acquire control of ANZ or ANZ Holdings by a takeover

bid or a scheme of arrangement and certain further approvals or conditions

needed for the acquisition to occur or be implemented have been met; or

•an entity outside the ANZ Group acquires (or comes to hold beneficially)

more than 50% of the voting shares in ANZ’s capital.

Not all corporate activities that have the effect of a change of control of ANZ

or ANZ Holdings or their respective business operations will be a Change of

Control Event, in particular if APRA intervenes as described in Section 6.1.13.

Clauses 4.10 and

17.2 of the Note

Terms

2.4.2

What happens

on a Change of

Control Event?

If a Change of Control Event occurs, ANZ must, subject to certain further

restrictions, give a Change of Control Conversion Notice to Convert each

Note into a number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares with a value of

approximately $101 (based on the VWAP during a period, usually 20 Business

Days, on which trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares took place

immediately preceding (but not including) the Business Day before the

Change of Control Conversion Date).

18


On the Change of Control Conversion Date:

•the Notes will be automatically transferred from Holders to ANZ Holdings;

and

•ANZ Holdings will issue to Holders the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares calculated as set out above.

Clauses 4.10 and

17.2 of the Note

Terms

2.4.3

What are the

restrictions on

Conversion on a

Change of Control

Conversion Date?

Following the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, ANZ may not

proceed to Convert Notes if, on the date on which Conversion is to occur

(Change of Control Conversion Date), certain further restrictions apply.

These Conversion restrictions on the Change of Control Conversion

Date apply if the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition (applied as

if it referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date VWAP) or the Third Mandatory

Conversion Condition would not be satisfied in respect of the Change of

Control Conversion Date as if the Change of Control Conversion Date were

a possible Mandatory Conversion Date.

The percentages used in the above conditions are derived from market

precedents and the cap on the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares

that are permitted to be issued in these circumstances under the Prudential

Standards and ratings agency requirements.

Clause 4.10 of the

Note Terms

2.4.4

What happens if

Conversion does

not occur on a

Change of Control

Conversion Date?

If ANZ has given a Change of Control Conversion Notice but the restrictions

prevent Conversion, ANZ will give a new Change of Control Conversion

Notice to Convert the Notes on the next Distribution Payment Date (under

clause 3.5(a) of the Note Terms). Conversion will not occur if the restrictions

described in Section 2.4.3 apply on that date. This process will be repeated

until a Conversion occurs.

Section 2.4.3

Clause 4.10 of

the Note Terms

18 If Conversion occurs as a result of a Change of Control Event, the period for calculating the VWAP may be less than 20 Business Days on which trading in ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding (but not including) the Business Day before the Change of Control Conversion Date. See clause 17.2

(definition of “VWAP Period”) of the Note Terms. The VWAP during the relevant period before the Change of Control Conversion Date that is used to calculate the

number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares that Holders receive may differ from the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Share price on or after the Change of Control

Conversion Date. This means that the value of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares received may be more or less than anticipated when they are issued or thereafter.

2.5 AUTOMATIC CONVERSION FOLLOWING A TRIGGER EVENT

ANZ Capital Notes 8 are required to be Converted following the occurrence of a Trigger Event.

The Mandatory Conversion Conditions do not apply to a Conversion following a Trigger Event. The number of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares that Holders will receive on a Conversion in these circumstances will not be greater than the

Maximum Conversion Number.

A Trigger Event may occur where ANZ encounters severe financial difficulty. In the event of a Conversion following a

Trigger Event, depending on the market price of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares at the relevant time, Holders are likely to

receive ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares that are worth significantly less than approximately $101 for each Note they hold

and to suffer loss as a consequence. If the Notes are not Converted for any reason (including an Inability Event) they will be

Written Off, which means those Notes will never be Converted or Exchanged, all rights in relation to those Notes will be

terminated, and Holders will not have their capital repaid.

2.5.1

What is a

Trigger Event?

There are two types of Trigger Events:

•a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; and

•a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

Common Equity Capital Trigger Event

A Common Equity Capital Trigger Event will occur if, at any time ANZ

determines, or APRA has notified ANZ in writing that it believes, that

a Common Equity Capital Ratio is equal to or less than 5.125%.

ANZ must immediately notify APRA in writing if it makes such a determination.

The Common Equity Capital Ratio is the ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital

of the ANZ Level 1 Group or the ANZ Level 2 Group (as applicable) (including

ANZ Ordinary Shares, retained earnings and certain reserves but net of Common

Equity Tier 1 Capital Deductions) to the risk weighted assets of the ANZ Level 1

Group or the ANZ Level 2 Group respectively, as prescribed by APRA.

See Section 5.6 for more information about ANZ's Common Equity Capital Ratio.

A Non-Viability Trigger Event

A Non-Viability Trigger Event will occur if, at any time:

•APRA notifies ANZ in writing that conversion or write off of Relevant

Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that ANZ would

become non-viable; or

•APRA notifies ANZ in writing that it has determined that without a public

sector injection of capital (or equivalent support) ANZ would become

non-viable.

APRA has not provided specific guidance on when it will consider an entity to

be non-viable. However, APRA has indicated that non-viability is likely to arise

prior to the insolvency of an ADI. Non-viability could be expected to include

serious impairment of ANZ’s financial position and insolvency; however, it is

possible that APRA’s definition of non-viable may not necessarily be confined

to solvency or capital measures and APRA’s position on these matters may

change over time.

2.5 AUTOMATIC CONVERSION FOLLOWING A TRIGGER EVENT (CONT)

2.5.2

What happens

following a

Trigger Event?

ANZ may be required to Convert a number of Notes into ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares following the occurrence of a Trigger Event. If a Trigger Event

occurs, ANZ must Convert the Notes immediately on that day. On Conversion,

the Notes will be automatically transferred from Holders to ANZ Holdings and

ANZ Holdings will issue to Holders the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares calculated as set out below.

ANZ must notify Holders as soon as practicable of a Trigger Event occurring,

but the Conversion occurs whether or not that notice is given. Conversion in

these circumstances is not subject to the Mandatory Conversion Conditions

(or any other conditions) and so cannot be stopped for those reasons.

If Conversion has not been effected within 5 Business Days after the Trigger

Event Conversion Date for any reason (including an Inability Event), the Notes

will be Written Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Conversion Date

and a Holder will suffer loss as a consequence.

If a Note is Written Off:

•the Note will not be Converted on that date and will not be Exchanged

on any other date; and

•the relevant Holder’s rights (including to payment of Distributions and

Face Value) in relation to such Note are immediately and irrevocably

terminated and written off.

Clauses 4.7, 4.8,

4.9, 6.1 and 6.13

of the Note Terms

2.5.3

How many ANZ

Holdings Ordinary

Shares will Holders

receive if Notes are

Converted on a

Trigger Event

Conversion Date?

If Notes are Converted on a Trigger Event Conversion Date, Holders will receive

a number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares per Note that is equivalent to the

number calculated using the following formula, being subject to a cap so that

the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares received is limited to the

Maximum Conversion Number:

Face Value

99% x VWAP

The cap imposed by the Maximum Conversion Number is likely to mean that

fewer, and possibly significantly fewer, ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares would

be received by a Holder than if this cap did not exist. This is explained further

in Section 2.5.4.

The VWAP for this purpose is the VWAP during the 5 Business Days on which

trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding

(but not including) the Trigger Event Conversion Date (when the price of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares may be low).

In the above calculation there is a small Conversion discount since selling

costs are likely to apply to the sale of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on ASX.

Clauses 6.1 to 6.7

of the Note Terms

2.5.4

What is the

Maximum

Conversion

Number?

The Maximum Conversion Number in the case of a Trigger Event is

determined using the following formula:

Face Value

Issue Date VWAP x 0.2

This formula is derived from market precedents and the cap on the number

of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares that are permitted to be issued in these

circumstances under the Prudential Standards and ratings agency requirements.

This means that, depending on the market price of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares at the relevant time, a Holder is likely to receive significantly less than

approximately $101 worth of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares per Note and is

likely to suffer a loss as a consequence.

2.5 AUTOMATIC CONVERSION FOLLOWING A TRIGGER EVENT (CONT)

2.5.5

Is there a

worked example

illustrating how

many ANZ

Holdings Ordinary

Shares a Holder

will receive on

Conversion

following a

Trigger Event?

This example illustrates how many ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares a Holder

will receive per Note following Conversion on a Trigger Event Conversion

Date assuming the VWAP is $4.50 and the Issue Date VWAP is $26.00.

This example is for illustrative purposes only. The actual VWAP, Issue Date

VWAP and Maximum Conversion Number may be higher or lower than in this

example and Issue Date VWAP may be adjusted after the Issue Date in limited

circumstances (see Section 2.2.8).

Step 1 – Calculate the indicative number of Ordinary Shares using

the Conversion mechanics

Face Value $100.00

Divided by VWAP x 0.99 ÷ $4.4550

Ordinary Shares per Note 22.4467

Step 2 – Calculate the Maximum Conversion Number

Face Value $100.00

Divided by Issue Date VWAP × 0.2 ÷ $5.20

Ordinary Shares per Note =19.2308

Step 3 – Assess the effect of the Maximum Conversion Number

In this example, the Maximum Conversion Number is lower than the

indicative number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares a Holder would receive

per Note calculated using the Conversion formula. As a result, the Maximum

Conversion Number would cap the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares

a Holder would receive per Note at 19.2308 ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares. If

those ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares were sold on ASX at the same price as

the VWAP (being $4.50), the Holder would receive $86.54 and have suffered a

loss on their investment of $13.46.

2.5 AUTOMATIC CONVERSION FOLLOWING A TRIGGER EVENT (CONT)

2.5.6

How many

Notes need to

be Converted or

Written Off on the

occurrence of a

Trigger Event?

If a Trigger Event occurs, ANZ must convert or write off sufficient Relevant

Securities (including some or all Notes) to restore the Common Equity Capital

Ratio to a percentage above 5.125%, or to satisfy APRA that ANZ is viable

without further conversion or write off (as applicable).

If ANZ is required to Convert some Notes, ANZ will endeavour to Convert

Notes and convert into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares or write off other

Relevant Securities on an approximately pro-rata basis or in a manner that is

otherwise, in the opinion of ANZ, fair and reasonable. This is subject to such

adjustment as ANZ may determine to take account of the effect on

marketable parcels and the need to round to whole numbers the number

of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares and any Notes or other Relevant Securities

remaining on issue. In addition, where the Relevant Securities are in different

currencies, ANZ may treat the Relevant Securities as if converted into a

single currency at rates of exchange it considers reasonable. However, this

determination must not impede the immediate Conversion of the relevant

number of Notes.

Holders should be aware that:

•Relevant Securities such as Notes, CN3, CN4, CN5, CN6 and CN7 will be

converted or written off before any Tier 2 Capital instruments are converted

or written off;

•ANZ has no obligation to maintain on issue any Relevant Securities and

does not, and may never, have on issue Relevant Securities which require

them to be converted or written off before the Notes or in full; and

•where a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs because APRA determines that,

without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support, ANZ

would become non-viable, all the Notes will be Converted.

The Conversion of Notes into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on the Trigger

Event Conversion Date following the occurrence of a Trigger Event is not

subject to the Mandatory Conversion Conditions described in Section 2.2.2

being satisfied. This means that, due to the application of the Maximum

Conversion Number, depending on the market price of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares at the time, Holders are likely to receive significantly less than

approximately $101 worth of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares per Note and to

suffer loss as a consequence.

Clauses 4.8, 4.9

and 9.11 of the

Note Terms

2.6 OTHER

2.6.1

Can ANZ issue

further Notes or

other instruments?

ANZ reserves the right to issue further securities of any kind (whether ranking

equally with, in priority to or junior to or having different rights from the

Notes) without the consent of Holders. ANZ Holdings also has the right to

issue shares or any other securities of any kind without the consent of Holders.

Notes do not:

•confer on Holders any right to subscribe for new securities in ANZ,

ANZ Holdings or any other member of the ANZ Group (other than on

Conversion) or to participate in any bonus issues of shares by ANZ,

ANZ Holdings or any other member of the ANZ Group;

•prevent ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other member of the ANZ Group from

redeeming, buying back, returning capital on or converting any securities,

other than the Notes (except as described in Section 2.1.7); and

•prevent ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other member of the ANZ Group from

incurring or guaranteeing any indebtedness upon such terms as it thinks

fit in its sole discretion.

2.6.3

Can ANZ amend

the Note Terms?

Subject to complying with all applicable laws, ANZ may amend the Note

Terms without the consent of Holders in circumstances including where

ANZ reasonably considers the amendment:

•is made to correct a manifest error;

•is of a formal, minor or technical nature;

•is necessary to comply with any law, the provisions of any statute or the

requirements of any statutory authority;

•is made in accordance with ANZ’s adjustment rights in clause 6 of the

Note Terms;

•is expedient for the purposes of listing or clearing the Notes;

•amends certain dates or time periods in connection with Mandatory

Conversion or Exchange; or

•in any other case, will not materially adversely affect the rights of Holders

as a whole.

ANZ may also amend the Note Terms if:

•an Approved Successor Event occurs; or

• the amendment has been approved by a Special Resolution.

No amendment to the Note Terms is permitted without APRA’s prior written

approval if such amendment may affect the classification of Notes as

Additional Tier 1 Capital on a Level 1, Level 2 or (if applicable) Level 3 basis.

Clause 14 of the

Note Terms

2.6.4

What is an

Approved

Successor Event?

Subject to certain conditions (including the receipt of APRA’s prior written

approval where required), ANZ may elect to substitute an Approved Successor:

•as issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion; or

•to assume all obligations under the Note Terms.

ANZ may elect to substitute an Approved NOHC, ANZ Holdings or ANZ as

the Approved Successor, provided that, where such entity is to be substituted

as the issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion, its ordinary shares will be

quoted on ASX immediately after the substitution. Additionally, an Approved

Successor can only be substituted if, following the substitution, the Notes are

expected to remain quoted on the ASX.

In connection with an Approved Successor Event, ANZ may:

•make any amendments it considers to be reasonably necessary and

appropriate to effect the substitution consistent with the requirements

of APRA in relation to Additional Tier 1 Capital and instruments eligible to

fund Additional Tier 1 Capital;

•where the Approved Successor Event involves ANZ Holdings or an Approved

NOHC assuming all obligations in connection with the Notes, appoint a trustee

for Holders and reconstitute the Notes under a trust deed compliant with

Chapter 2L of the Corporations Act (unless not required to do so by applicable

law) and enter into such other documents or do any other things as ANZ

considers to be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the substitution

consistent with the requirements of APRA in relation to Additional Tier 1

Capital and instruments eligible to fund Additional Tier 1 Capital; and

•where the Approved Successor Event involves an Approved Successor

substituted only in respect of Conversion of Notes, make certain

amendments to the definition of Conversion to enable the substitution of

the Approved Successor as issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion.

TopicSummary
3.1 THE REINVESTMENT OFFER

3.1.1

What are CN3?

CN3 (or ANZ Capital Notes 3) are fully paid, non-cumulative, convertible, transferable, redeemable,

subordinated, perpetual, unsecured notes that were issued by ANZ on 5 March 2015. The CN3 terms

were amended on 3 January 2023 to reflect the establishment of ANZ Holdings as the head entity

of the ANZ Group. CN3 trade on the ASX under the ASX code “AN3PF”.

3.1.2

What is

happening to

CN3?

On 15 February 2023, ANZ (acting through its New Zealand branch) issued a redemption notice

in accordance with the CN3 terms. The redemption notice confirms that on 24 March 2023, ANZ

will redeem all CN3 for their face value of $100 per CN3 (CN3 Redemption Price). If you are an

Eligible CN3 Holder and participate in the Reinvestment Offer, your CN3 Redemption Proceeds

will be applied to subscribe for Notes (see below for further details).

The redemption notice is irrevocable (except as provided by the CN3 terms) but the CN3

Redemption may not occur for a number of reasons, including if a trigger event occurs under the

CN3 terms or APRA revokes its approval of the CN3 Redemption.

If the CN3 Redemption does not occur, except as a result of a trigger event occurring in respect

of the CN3, CN3 holders will continue to hold their CN3.

To facilitate the CN3 Redemption, the CN3 will cease trading on ASX on 8 March 2023.

A final distribution of $2.4408 per CN3 is scheduled to be paid by ANZ in respect of all CN3 on

24 March 2023 (subject to the payment conditions in the CN3 terms and ANZ's absolute discretion)

(Final CN3 Distribution). The record date for the Final CN3 Distribution is 7.00pm on 10 March

2023. All holders of CN3 on the record date will be entitled to receive the Final CN3 Distribution,

including Eligible CN3 Holders who participate in the Reinvestment Offer.

3.1.3

What is the

Reinvestment

Offer?

The Reinvestment Offer is an invitation to Eligible CN3 Holders to apply to have some or all

of their CN3 Redemption Proceeds reinvested into Notes.

19


If you are an Eligible CN3 Holder and you participate in the Reinvestment Offer, your CN3

Redemption Proceeds that you reinvest into Notes will be used to fund the Application Payment

for the Notes. Those CN3 Redemption Proceeds will not be paid to you.

Eligible CN3 Holders are not required to participate in the Reinvestment Offer and there is no

guarantee Applications under the Reinvestment Offer will be accepted.

19 The market price of CN3 is subject to change from time to time and CN3 holders may be able to sell or dispose of their CN3 at a price higher or lower than

the price they would receive for the CN3 under the CN3 Redemption (being $100 per CN3). The current market price of CN3 is available at the ASX website

(asx.com.au).

3.3 WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PARTICIPATING

IN THE REINVESTMENT OFFER AND ACQUIRING NOTES?

There are certain risks associated with participating in the Reinvestment Offer and acquiring Notes, which include:

•the CN3 Redemption Price of $100 per CN3 (which does not include the Final CN3 Distribution) may be less than the ASX

trading price of CN3 (which may include an amount representing the accrued portion of the Final CN3 Distribution).

Rather than participating in the Reinvestment Offer, Eligible CN3 Holders may obtain a better financial outcome by selling

their CN3 on-market and investing the proceeds in ANZ Capital Notes 8 (although any Application may be scaled back);

•if you are an Eligible CN3 Holder and you apply for Notes under the Offer (pursuant to the Reinvestment Offer or

otherwise), you may receive an allocation of ANZ Capital Notes 8. As such, you will be subject to the risks associated with

an investment in ANZ Capital Notes 8, in ANZ and in the ANZ Group generally, many of which are outside the control of

ANZ, ANZ Holdings and their respective directors. These risks are outlined in Section 6 and should be considered before

you apply under the Offer (including under the Reinvestment Offer); and

•participation in the Reinvestment Offer does not involve a simple rollover into a similar investment. ANZ Capital Notes 8

and CN3 have different benefits and risks, which must be evaluated separately. For a description of the key differences

between the two securities, see Section 3.2.

5.1 OVERVIEW OF ANZ GROUP
The ANZ Group began its Australian operations in 1835

and its New Zealand operations in 1840.

The ANZ Group provides a broad range of banking and

financial products and services to retail, small business,

corporate and institutional customers. Geographically, its

operations span Australia, New Zealand, a number of

countries in the Asia Pacific region, the United Kingdom,

France, Germany and the United States.

Earlier this year, the ANZ Group implemented a restructure

(Restructure) that resulted in ANZ Holdings becoming

the new listed parent company of the ANZ Group in

place of ANZ. ANZ Holdings is a non-operating holding

company (NOHC) and is authorised as such for the

purposes of the Banking Act. ANZ Holdings is listed, and

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares are quoted, on the ASX.

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares are also quoted on the

New Zealand Stock Exchange. ANZ is an ADI and is

regulated by various prudential regulators, including APRA

in Australia and RBNZ in New Zealand. Following the

Restructure, ANZ is a subsidiary of ANZ Holdings.

The composition of the ANZ Group following the

Restructure is set out in the diagram below. As outlined

in that diagram, under the Restructure the ANZ Group’s

banking and non-banking businesses have been

separated into two groups under ANZ Holdings: the ANZ

Bank Group and the ANZ Non-Bank Group. The ANZ Bank

Group holds the ANZ Group’s banking businesses

(including ANZ and ANZ NZ), all international regulated

bank operations and insurance businesses. The ANZ

Non-Bank Group holds certain non-banking businesses

and assets, being the ANZ Group’s interests in the 1835i

trusts, the Worldline merchant acquiring joint venture,

Pollination, Lygon and the Trade Information Network.

For further information on the composition of the ANZ

Bank Group and the ANZ Non-Bank Group, please refer

27 October 2022 which is available on the ASX.

5.4 DEVELOPMENTS TO

THE ANZ GROUP

As announced by ANZ to the ASX on 18 July 2022, ANZ has

entered into an agreement to acquire Suncorp Bank from

$4.9 billion (Suncorp Transaction). The Suncorp

Transaction remains subject to a minimum completion

period of at least 12 months from the date the Suncorp

Transaction was announced and a number of conditions

precedent (being Federal Treasurer approval, Australian

Competition and Consumer Commission authorisation or

Financial Institutions and Metway Merger Act 1996 (Qld)).


Unless the parties agree otherwise, the last date for

5.5.3 Historical results
The profit information in Section 5.5.1 is historical

information and is not a forecast of results to be expected

in future periods.

5.5.4 Impact of the Offer on the ANZ consolidated

group balance sheet

The issue of the Notes will increase the ANZ consolidated

group's subordinated debt and cash by approximately

$1.479 billion ($1.5 billion gross proceeds of the Offer, less

approximately $21 million of Offer costs) with no impact on

the ANZ consolidated group's net assets or shareholders’

equity.

If all CN3 are redeemed by ANZ on 24 March 2023, the ANZ

consolidated group's subordinated debt and cash would

reduce by approximately $970 million, with no impact on

the ANZ consolidated group's net assets or shareholders’

equity.

On a net basis, the Offer of the Notes and the redemption of

all of the CN3 would increase the ANZ consolidated group's

subordinated debt and cash by approximately $509 million.

The Offer of the Notes and the redemption of all of the CN3

will not have a material impact on the ANZ consolidated

group's financial position.

The impact has been prepared in accordance with the

measurement and recognition requirements of Australian

Accounting Standards and other mandatory reporting

requirements in Australia.

If ANZ raises more or less than $1.5 billion under the Offer

the figures referred to above will be impacted accordingly.

5.6 CAPITAL ADEQUACY

5.6.1 Prudential regulation

APRA is the prudential regulator of the Australian financial

services industry.

ANZ is regulated by APRA because of its status as an

ADI. APRA’s Prudential Standards aim to ensure that ADIs

(including ANZ) remain adequately capitalised to support

the risks associated with their activities, absorb losses and to

generally protect Australian depositors.

To ensure that ADIs are adequately capitalised on both

a standalone and group basis, APRA adopts a tiered approach

to the measurement of an ADI’s capital adequacy by assessing

the ADI’s financial strength at three levels:

•Level 1 – the ADI on a standalone basis (i.e. ANZ and

specified subsidiaries which are considered to form

the ADI’s Extended Licensed Entity). This is the ANZ Level

1 Group;

•Level 2 – the consolidated banking group (i.e. the

consolidated group less certain subsidiaries and

associates that are excluded under APRA’s Prudential

Standards). This is the ANZ Level 2 Group; and

•Level 3 – the conglomerate group at its widest level; that

is, ANZ Holdings as the NOHC and all its related bodies

corporate. Whilst ANZ is not yet required to report capital

on a Level 3 basis, a description of APRA’s proposed

approach to the regulation of groups is contained in

section 5.6.5. Under its authorisation, ANZ Holdings is

required to hold adequate capital to reflect the risks of the

whole ANZ Group, including both the ANZ Bank Group

and ANZ Non-Bank Group.

The capital requirements of the ANZ Level 3 Group will be

the sum of the capital requirements of the ANZ Bank Group

and the ANZ Non-Bank Group. The ANZ Bank Group’s capital

requirements will continue to be determined by existing

APRA requirements. The capital requirements of the ANZ

Non-Bank Group are assessed using an independently

validated and ANZ Holdings Board approved economic

capital framework and model.

ANZ also complies with a common framework issued by the

Basel Committee for the calculation of capital adequacy, and

the risk weighting of assets, for banks worldwide (the Basel

Framework). The objective of the Basel Framework is to

develop capital adequacy guidelines that are more

accurately aligned with the individual risk profile of banks.

The Basel Framework requires ADIs to hold a certain level

of regulatory capital against its risk weighted assets (RWA).

An ADI calculates its RWA number by weighting its assets

(through applying a percentage factor) to reflect the risk of

loss to the ADI from those assets, in particular from

non-payment.

For more information on the capital ratios of the ANZ Level 1

and Level 2 Groups as at 31 December 2022 and the effect

of the Offer on these ratios, see Sections 5.6.6 and 5.6.7.

5.6.2 Basel III Framework

ANZ has been accredited by APRA to use the Advanced

Internal Ratings Based (IRB) methodology for calculating

credit RWA and the Internal Models Approach (IMA) for

market risk including interest rate risk in the banking book

(IRRBB). The credit risk weightings for a bank accredited to

use the IRB methodology are generally lower than the

weightings applied to a bank that does not have that

accreditation and so must use a standard set of risk

weightings set by APRA (the standardised approach).

APRA views Basel III requirements as a minimum standard

and has accordingly set higher requirements in some areas

for ADIs using the IRB methodology (IRB ADIs).

5.6.3 Prudential Capital Classification

APRA currently classifies an ADI’s regulatory capital

into three tiers for supervisory purposes – referred to as

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, Additional Tier 1 Capital and

Tier 2 Capital.

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital comprises the highest

quality components of capital and includes shareholders’

equity adjusted for items which APRA does not allow as

regulatory capital or classifies as lower forms of regulatory

capital. The ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to RWA is

called the Common Equity Capital Ratio.

53

About ANZHow to ApplyTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

Additional Tier 1 Capital comprises certain securities
not classified as Common Equity Tier 1 Capital but with loss

absorbing characteristics including that, at the time

of “non-viability” of an ADI, these instruments will be either

converted to ordinary shares or written off (such as ANZ

Capital Securities and the ANZ Capital Notes 7). Additional

Tier 1 Capital together with Common Equity Tier 1 Capital

constitutes Tier 1 Capital and the ratio of Tier 1 Capital to

RWA is called the Tier 1 Capital Ratio.

Tier 2 Capital consists of subordinated instruments and,

whilst a lesser form of capital than Tier 1 Capital, still has

a capacity to absorb losses and contributes to the overall

capital framework. Tier 2 Capital will also be converted to

ordinary shares or written off at the time of "non-viability" of

an ADI. Tier 2 Capital together with Tier 1 Capital constitutes

Total Capital and the ratio of Total Capital to RWA is called

the Total Capital Ratio.

APRA has confirmed that the Notes will constitute

Additional Tier 1 Capital for the purposes of ANZ’s regulatory

capital requirements.

5.6.4 APRA's Common Equity Capital

Ratio requirements

Minimum Capital Ratios

APRA’s Basel III Prudential Standards require a minimum

Common Equity Capital Ratio of 4.5%, although APRA may

require ADIs, such as ANZ, to maintain a higher capital ratio

which may not be disclosed (Prudential Capital Ratio or

PCR).

APRA also requires ADIs to hold Common Equity Tier 1

Capital buffers (Combined Capital Buffers). Following

APRA’s changes to its capital requirements discussed in

Section 5.6.5 below, from 1 January 2023 these consist of:

•a capital conservation buffer (CCB) of 3.75%, unless

APRA determines otherwise; plus

•an additional capital buffer of 1.0% for ADIs which APRA

has determined are important banks to the Australian

financial system (otherwise known as a ‘domestic

systemically important bank’ or a D-SIB). APRA has

determined that ANZ is a D-SIB; plus

•a counter-cyclical capital buffer (CCyB). In respect of

Australian exposures, APRA has determined that from 1

January 2023 the default rate for the CCyB is 1.0%, although

it may vary over time up to 3.5% in response to market

conditions (refer to Section 5.6.5 below). Regulators in some

jurisdictions in which ANZ operates have set CCyBs that

apply to exposures in that jurisdiction, and as such apply to

ANZ. As at 31 December 2022, the weighted average

aggregate of non-Australian counter-cyclical capital buffers

that applied to ANZ was 0%.

Volatility in the Level 1 and Level 2 Common Equity Capital

Ratios can be expected to arise in the future reflecting the

build-up of current year earnings in normal conditions which

increase the ratio and the subsequent final determination of

ANZ Ordinary Share Dividends to the NOHC (generally in

June and December of each year) which decrease the ratio.

References to the minimum capital ratio, which is the

aggregate of the PCR and the Combined Capital Buffers

(Minimum Capital Ratio), applicable under APRA’s

Prudential Standards are to general minima applying under

the APRA Prudential Standards, rather than specific minima

applying to ANZ.

The differences between the Common Equity Capital Ratios

for the ANZ Level 1 Group and ANZ Level 2 Group relate

principally to the capital held within offshore banking

subsidiaries and the treatment of insurance and funds

management subsidiaries at Level 1. So long as ANZ is able

to apply the Group's capital management strategy to those

subsidiaries, including repatriating dividends from those

subsidiaries (with the approval of the local regulator), ANZ

would expect that those capital ratios would move in a

broadly similar way. However, there are instances where the

Level 1 and Level 2 capital ratios may diverge and regulatory

developments (such as those described below) may also

impact the ratios.

The ANZ Level 1 Group's Common Equity Capital Ratio

has been impacted by the reduced dividends from its

New Zealand subsidiary as a result of the RBNZ’s restrictions

on the amount of dividends that New Zealand banks could

pay as well as the RBNZ’s requirements for New Zealand

banks to hold more capital.

Restrictions on the Payment of Distributions

If the Common Equity Capital Ratio for an ADI on a Level 1

or Level 2 basis falls below the Minimum Capital Ratio,

which from 1 January 2023 would be 10.25% (assuming the

1% CCyB applies to all of ANZ’s assets) under APRA’s

Prudential Standards for a D-SIB (although it may be higher

for individual ADIs), then the ADI is limited in the amount of

relevant current year post-tax earnings (adjusted to add

back expenses for Tier 1 Capital Distributions (as defined

below) paid in the immediately preceding 12 months) that

it can pay as discretionary bonuses to staff; distributions on

Additional Tier 1 Capital instruments (including the Notes)

and dividends and share buy-backs on ordinary shares (Tier

1 Capital Distributions).

The amount of adjusted current year post-tax earnings that

can be paid as Tier 1 Capital Distributions (including

Distributions on the Notes) (Maximum Distributable

Amount) is limited in accordance with the table below, after

taking into account other Tier 1 Capital Distributions paid in

the 12-month period immediately preceding the relevant

payment date and actual and forecast capital raisings

agreed with APRA.

An ADI may apply to APRA to make payments in excess of

approval where it is satisfied that an ADI has established

measures to raise capital equal to or greater than the

amount above the constraint that it wishes to distribute.

Australian corporations law does not limit the sources of

payment of Distributions on the Notes to the profits of a

particular year or period.

5.6.5 Regulatory Developments

Unquestionably strong capital requirements

The Australian Government completed a comprehensive

inquiry into Australia’s financial system in 2014 (the

Financial Services Inquiry or FSI) which included a number

of key recommendations that could have an impact on

regulatory capital levels. APRA's key initiatives in support of

the recommendations include:

•In July 2017, APRA released an information paper

outlining its assessment on the additional capital

required for the Australian banking sector to be

considered ‘unquestionably strong’ as originally outlined

in the FSI final report in December 2014. APRA indicated

that in the case of the four major Australian D-SIBs, this

equated to a benchmark Common Equity Capital Ratio,

under the current capital adequacy framework, of at

least 10.5% from 1 January 2020.

•APRA released its final requirements in relation to capital

adequacy and credit risk capital requirements for ADIs in

November 2021 for implementation from 1 January

2023 (APRA capital reforms). Key aspects of APRA’s

final requirements are:

−increased alignment with internationally agreed Basel

standards for non-residential mortgages exposures;

−implementing more risk-sensitive risk weights for

residential mortgage lending;

−introduction of the Basel II capital floor that limits the

RWA outcome for IRB ADIs to no less than 72.5% of

the RWA outcome under the standardised approach;

−improving the flexibility of the capital framework

through the introduction of a default level of the CCyB

and increasing the CCB for IRB ADIs. This has the effect

of increasing the Minimum Capital Ratio (incorporating

the higher Combined Capital Buffers) from 8% to

approximately 10.25% (although it may be lower for a

specific ADI given the CCyB only applies to Australian

exposures);

−improving the transparency and comparability of

ADIs' capital ratios, including by requiring IRB ADIs to

also publish their capital ratios under the standardised

approach; and

−implementing a minimum leverage ratio for IRB ADIs

at 3.5%. APRA's “Leverage Ratio” compares Tier 1

Capital to the “exposure measure” (expressed as a

percentage) as defined by APRA Prudential Standard

APS110. It is designed as a non-risk based supplement

or backstop to the current risk based capital

requirements and is intended to restrict the build-up

of excessive leverage in the banking system.

APRA has indicated that the above changes will likely result

in a decrease in RWA, but this would be offset by the

increased capital allocation to the Combined Capital Buffers.

APRA has also indicated that since ADIs are currently

meeting the “unquestionably strong” benchmarks, it is not

APRA's intention to require ADIs to raise additional capital.

Accordingly, APRA is expected to calibrate the 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 ANZ), will vary

depending on the final form of requirements implemented

by APRA.

55

About ANZHow to ApplyTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

Additionally, APRA is still consulting on revisions to a
number of Prudential Standards, being IRRBB (interest rate

risk in the banking book), market risk and counterparty

credit risk.

Given the number of items that are yet to be finalised by

APRA, the aggregate final outcome from all changes to

APRA's Prudential Standards relating to their review of ADIs

"unquestionably strong" capital framework remains uncertain.

Subject to finalisation of the APRA capital reform requirements,

the impact of these changes may be to reduce the excess

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital that ANZ holds at any time for

both the Level 1 and Level 2 Groups over the point at which

the Maximum Distributable Amount starts, mainly reflecting

the increased regulatory capital buffer requirements.

APRA have noted that their expectation is for a D-SIB to target

a Common Equity Capital Ratio of approximately 1% above

the ADI’s Minimum Capital Ratio at their reporting periods.

The RBNZ review of capital requirements

The RBNZ’s new capital adequacy requirements for New

Zealand banks, which are set out in the Banking Prudential

Requirements (BPR) documents are being implemented in

stages during a transition period from October 2021 to July

2028. The key requirements for ANZ’s New Zealand banking

subsidiary, ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (ANZ Bank New

Zealand), are as follows:

•ANZ Bank New Zealand’s tier 1 capital requirement will

increase to 16% of RWA, of which up to 2.5% could be in

the form of additional tier 1 capital under RBNZ’s BPR. ANZ

Bank New Zealand’s total capital requirement will increase

to 18% of RWA, of which up to 2% can be tier 2 capital

under RBNZ’s BPR.

•Additional tier 1 capital must consist of perpetual

preference shares which may be redeemable. It is

anticipated that ANZ Bank New Zealand will be able to

refinance its existing internal additional tier 1 capital

securities to external counterparties. Tier 2 capital must

consist of long-term subordinated debt.

•As an IRB approach accredited bank, ANZ Bank New

Zealand’s RWA outcomes will be increased to

approximately 90% of what would be calculated under the

standardised approach. This will be achieved by applying

an 85% output floor for credit RWA and increasing the

credit RWA scalar from 1.06 to 1.20.

The net impact on ANZ’s Level 1 Common Equity Tier 1

Capital is approximately $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion between

30 September 2022 and the end of the transition period in

2028 (based on ANZ’s 30 September 2022 balance sheet).

The amount could also vary over time subject to changes to

the capital position in ANZ Bank New Zealand (e.g. from

RWA growth, management buffer requirements, and

potential dividend payments).

APRA’s regulation of groups

In February 2023, APRA announced that a policy priority is

the regulation of banking groups as in recent years there

has been the emergence of more complex corporate

structures in the banking industry, resulting in the need for

APRA to supervise more ‘groups’ of entities. APRA is

reviewing the prudential framework for groups to ensure it

caters to an increasing array of new groups and is

consistently applied to provide a level playing field across

different structures.

APRA intends to release a discussion paper in 2023, to seek

industry feedback on the five key topics on groups: financial

resilience, governance, risk management, resolution and

competition issues. APRA expects to consult on any specific

changes to standards in 2024 which would come into effect

from 2025 onwards.

APRA noted that there are no immediate changes to

existing APRA authorised NOHCs, although individual NOHC

conditions may be updated as the review progresses.

5.6.6 The ANZ Level 1 Group and ANZ Level 2

Group's Common Equity Capital Ratios

The Common Equity Capital Ratios of the ANZ Level 1 and

Level 2 Groups were 11.6% and 12.2% at 31 December 2022

respectively. The December 2022 position incorporates the

impacts from payment of ANZ's 2022 final dividend, amongst

other movements in the capital base. At 30 September 2022,

the Common Equity Capital Ratios of the ANZ Level 1 and

Level 2 Groups were 12.0% and 12.3% respectively.

APRA has stated that their expectation is for a D-SIB to

target a Common Equity Capital Ratio of approximately 1%

above the ADI’s Minimum Capital Ratio at their reporting

dates, following finalisation of the regulatory developments

referred to in section 5.6.5 above. ANZ gives no assurance as

to what its Common Equity Capital Ratio for the ANZ Level 1

Group or ANZ Level 2 Group will be at any time. These ratios

and associated targets may be significantly impacted by the

currently proposed or future regulatory changes,

unexpected events affecting ANZ's business, operations and

financial condition, APRA determining a higher PCR, any

acquisitions or capital reductions and by APRA’s

prescriptions for the determination of the ratios at Level 1 or

Level 2. Following the finalisation of the prudential

standards described in section 5.6.5 above, ANZ's Common

Equity Capital Ratios, and the buffers of Common Equity Tier

1 Capital ANZ holds above the Common Equity Capital

Trigger and Minimum Capital Ratio, may differ from current

levels.

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

As at 31 December 2022, ANZ had $5.3 billion and $9 billion of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital for the ANZ Level 1 Group and
ANZ Level 2 Group respectively in excess of 10.25%. This excess Common Equity Tier 1 capital is based on ANZ’s existing

(pre-capital reform) RWA, which will change as a result of the new capital standards effective from 1 January 2023 (and

referred to in section 5.6.5 above). The 31 December 2022 capital position incorporates:

1. the impacts from payment of ANZ’s 2022 Final dividend of 74 cents per share (equivalent to $2.2 billion in Common

Equity Tier 1 Capital); and

2. the benefit of the $3.5 billion equity raising in August 2022 to fund the acquisition of the Suncorp Bank. However, it does

not show the effect of the Suncorp Transaction should it complete. See Section 5.6.7 for further details.

This would also have equated to approximately $25.6 billion and $32.7 billion of surplus Common Equity Tier 1 Capital for the

ANZ Level 1 Group and ANZ Level 2 Group respectively as at 31 December 2022 in excess of a Common Equity Tier 1 Capital

Ratio of 5.125% which is the point at which a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event would occur.

The graphs below show ANZ's current and historic Common Equity Capital Ratios at Level 1 and Level 2, highlighting

the amount of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital held at the relevant time (in percentage terms) in excess of 10.25%

(notwithstanding the increase in the Minimum Capital Ratio from 8% to approximately 10.25% only occurred on

1 January 2023).

Currently, the Common Equity Capital Ratio for the ANZ Level 1 Group is lower than for the ANZ Level 2 Group and so is the

binding constraint when considering the impact of actions that may affect ANZ's capital ratios. However, in the future and in

certain circumstances (including as a result of completion of the Suncorp Transaction) the ANZ Level 2 Group ratio may

become the binding constraint.

5.6.7 Proforma consolidated capital adequacy position as at 31 December 2022

The purpose of the proforma capital adequacy ratios set out in the table below is to present the regulatory capital adequacy

position of the ANZ Level 2 Group as at 31 December 2022 adjusted for the effect of the proposed issue of $1.5 billion of

Notes under the Offer net of a redemption of the $970 million of CN3 on 24 March 2023.

In the proforma adjustments contained in the table below:

•the fourth and fifth columns show the reduction in the capital adequacy ratios if all the CN3 were redeemed;

•the sixth column shows the impact of the issue of $1.5 billion of Notes less Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Deductions of

approximately $21 million, being the estimated costs of the Offer; and

•the last column shows the net effect of all of the above adjustments on the 31 December 2022 capital adequacy ratios.

If there is an over or under-subscription for the Notes, the Tier 1 Capital Ratio and Total Capital Ratio will be adjusted for the

amount of the over or under-subscription and associated transaction costs. ANZ’s capital adequacy ratios will also be

impacted by organic capital growth, changes in provisions and RWA growth since 31 December 2022.

due to rounding.

2 The summarised consolidated capital adequacy ratios of the ANZ Level 2 Group as at 31 December 2022 are extracted from the ANZ Basel III Pillar 3 Disclosure as

at 31 December 2022 (which are not subject to KPMG’s audit or review processes).

The adjustments in the table above in respect of the ANZ

Level 2 Group would have had a similar effect on the ANZ

Level 1 Group ratios as at 31 December 2022 on a

proforma basis. The Tier 1 Capital Ratio and Total Capital

Ratio for the ANZ Level 1 Group as at 31 December 2022

would have reduced by 0.2% as a result of a redemption of

all the CN3 and increased by 0.4% as a result of an issue of

$1.5 billion of Notes.

The proforma table does not include the impacts of:

1. the Suncorp Transaction (if it were to complete). The

expected net impact of the Suncorp Transaction on the

Level 1 and Level 2 Common Equity Capital Ratio is a

reduction of approximately 0.7% and 1.2% respectively

on a proforma basis as at 31 December 2022; and

2. the implementation of the NOHC on 3 January which as

at 31 December 2022 on a pro forma basis does not

have a material impact on ANZ’s capital ratios.

5.7 FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY

5.7.1 Existing framework

Liquidity risk is the risk that an ADI is unable to meet its

payment obligations as they fall due, including repaying

depositors or maturing wholesale debt, or that an ADI has

insufficient capacity to fund increases in assets. The timing

mismatch of cash flows and the related liquidity risk is

inherent in all banking operations and is closely monitored

by ANZ and managed in accordance with the risk appetite

set by the Board.

ANZ’s liquidity and funding risks are governed by a detailed

policy framework that is approved by ANZ’s Board Risk

Committee. The management of the liquidity and funding

positions and risks is overseen by the Group Asset and

Liability Committee. ANZ’s liquidity risk appetite is defined

by the ability to meet a range of regulatory requirements

and internal liquidity metrics mandated by ANZ’s Board Risk

Committee. The metrics cover a range of scenarios of

varying duration and level of severity. This framework helps:

•provide protection against shorter-term but more

extreme market dislocations and stresses;

•maintain structural strength in the balance sheet by

ensuring that an appropriate amount of longer-term

assets are funded with longer-term funding; and

•ensure no undue timing concentrations exist in the

Group’s funding profile.

A key component of this framework is the Liquidity

Coverage Ratio (LCR) that was implemented in Australia

on 1 January 2015. The LCR is a severe short-term liquidity

stress scenario, introduced as part of the Basel III

international framework for liquidity-risk measurement,

standards and monitoring.

In addition to the LCR, ANZ is also required to meet APRA’s

requirements with respect to the Net Stable Funding Ratio

(NSFR). The NSFR is a ratio of the amount of available stable

funding relative to the amount of required stable funding

and banks were required to meet a minimum ratio

requirement of 100% from 1 January 2018.

ANZ seeks to strictly observe its prudential obligations in

relation to liquidity and funding risk as required by APRA

Prudential Standard APS 210, as well the prudential

requirements of overseas regulators on ANZ’s offshore

operations.

5.7.2 Liquidity Ratio

ANZ’s Level 2 Group average LCR for the quarter to

31 December 2022 was 125.7%, above the minimum

requirement of 100%.

6.1 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTING IN ANZ CAPITAL NOTES 8
6.1.1 Investments in ANZ Capital Notes 8 are an investment in ANZ

Investments in Notes are an investment in ANZ and may be affected by the ongoing performance and financial position of

the ANZ Group and the solvency of any member of the ANZ Group. Notes are not deposit liabilities and are not protected

accounts for the purposes of the depositor protection provisions in Division 2 of Part II of the Banking Act or of the Financial

Claims Scheme established under Division 2 of Part II of the Banking Act. Notes are not guaranteed by any government,

government agency or compensation scheme of Australia or by any other person or any other jurisdiction.

6.1.2 Liquidity

There may be no liquid market for Notes. Additionally, the market for Notes may be less liquid than the market for ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares or other securities issued by ANZ, ANZ Holdings or other entities. Holders who wish to sell their

Notes may be unable to do so at an acceptable price, or at all, if insufficient liquidity exists in the market for Notes. If the

Notes are traded after they are issued, 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 ANZ, ANZ

Holdings and the Group. There may be a limited number of buyers when you decide to sell the Notes. This may affect the

price you receive for Notes or the ability to sell Notes at all.

Notes are expected to Convert into ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on 20 September 2032 (subject to certain conditions

being satisfied) unless Notes are otherwise Exchanged on or before that date. Where Notes are Converted, there may be no

liquid market for ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares at or after the time of Conversion or the market for ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares may be less liquid than that for securities issued by other entities at the time of Conversion.

6.1.3 Financial Market conditions

The market price of Notes may move up or down due to various factors, including investor perceptions, worldwide economic

conditions, credit spreads, movements in the market price of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares or senior or subordinated debt

issued by ANZ or ANZ Holdings, the occurrence or potential occurrence of a Trigger Event or factors resulting in ANZ deciding

or not being permitted to make payments on the Notes, the method of calculating the outstanding amount (if any) of the

Notes following a Conversion or Write Off, the outstanding amount of Notes, the risk of early redemption following a Tax Event

or Regulatory Event, ANZ’s and ANZ Group's financial condition and results of operations, investor confidence and market

liquidity, the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally and factors that may affect ANZ’s and ANZ Group's

financial performance and position. Notes may trade at a market price below the Face Value.

The market price of Notes may be more sensitive than that of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares to changes in interest rates and

credit spreads. Increases in relevant interest rates or ANZ’s credit spread may adversely affect the market price of Notes. In

recent years markets have become more volatile. Volatility risk is the potential for fluctuations in the price of securities,

sometimes markedly and over a short period. Investing in volatile conditions implies a greater level of volatility risk for

investors than an investment in a more stable market. The volatility can be seen in the following chart which shows the

average trading price of selected ANZ Capital Securities quoted on the ASX compared to an adjusted ordinary share price for

the head entity of the ANZ Group.

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

You should carefully consider this additional volatility risk before making any investment in Notes.
ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares issued as a result of any Conversion of Notes will, following Conversion, rank equally with

existing ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, the ongoing value of any ANZ Ordinary Shares received upon

Conversion will depend upon the market price of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares after the Mandatory Conversion Date or

other date on which Notes are Converted. That market is also subject to the factors outlined above and may also be volatile.

6.1.4 Exposure to Group’s financial performance and position

If the Group’s financial performance or position declines, or if market participants anticipate that it may decline, an

investment in Notes could decline in value even if Notes have not been Converted. Accordingly, when you evaluate whether

to invest in Notes, you should carefully evaluate the investment risks associated with an investment in the ANZ Group – see

Section 6.2.

6.1.5 Fluctuation in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Share Price

Upon Conversion (other than Conversion resulting from a Trigger Event – see Section 6.1.11), Holders will receive

approximately $101 worth of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares per Note (based on the VWAP during the 20 Business Days on

which trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding (but not including) the Mandatory

Conversion Date or other date on which Notes are Converted). The market price of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares will move

up or down due to various factors, including investor perceptions, domestic and worldwide economic conditions and ANZ’s,

ANZ Holdings’ or the Group’s financial performance and position – see Section 6.1.3. In addition, a Trigger Event is likely to be

accompanied by a deterioration in the market price of the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares. The VWAP during the relevant

period before the date of Conversion that is used to calculate the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares that Holders

receive may differ from the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Share price on or after the date of Conversion. This means that the value

of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares received may be more or less than anticipated when they are issued or thereafter.

Other events and conditions may affect the ability of Holders to trade or dispose of the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion, for example, the willingness or ability of ASX to accept the ANZ Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion for

listing or any practical issues which affect that listing, any disruption to the market for the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares or

to capital markets generally, the availability of purchasers for ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares and any costs or practicalities

associated with trading or disposing of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares at that time, or laws of general application, including

securities law and laws relating to the holding of shares and other interests in financial institutions, which limit a person’s

6.1.6 Distributions may not be paid
There is a risk that Distributions will not be paid. There is

no obligation for ANZ to pay Distributions. Distributions

will only be paid at ANZ’s discretion. ANZ could exercise its

discretion not to pay Distributions at any time and for any

reason. The payment of Distributions is also subject to the

Payment Conditions – see Section 2.1.6. The Payment

Conditions require, among other things, that (1) making

the payment will not result in ANZ not complying with

APRA’s current capital adequacy arrangements, (2) making

the payment would not result in ANZ becoming, or being

likely to become, insolvent for the purposes of the

Corporations Act and (3) APRA not objecting to the

Distribution being paid. There is a risk that one or more

elements of the Payment Conditions will not be satisfied,

and there is therefore a risk that a Distribution may not be

paid in full or at all.

The Prudential Standards also impose restrictions on the

proportion of profits that can be paid through ordinary

dividends, Additional Tier 1 capital distributions (including

Distributions on the Notes) and discretionary staff

bonuses if the Common Equity Capital Ratio falls into its

Combined Capital Buffers – see Section 5.6.4.

Distributions may not be paid if APRA objects to the

payment of discretionary capital distributions.

The Note Terms contain no events of default and,

accordingly, failure to pay a Distribution when scheduled

will not constitute an event of default. Further, in the

event that ANZ does not pay a Distribution when

scheduled, a Holder:

•has no right to apply for ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any

other member of the ANZ Group to be wound up, or

placed in administration, or to cause a receiver, or a

receiver and manager, to be appointed in respect of

ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other member of the ANZ

Group merely on the grounds that ANZ does not pay a

Distribution when scheduled; and

•may not exercise any right of set-off and will have no

offsetting rights or claims on ANZ.

Distributions are non-cumulative, and therefore if a

Distribution is not paid Holders will have no recourse

whatsoever to payment from ANZ and will not receive

payment of that Distribution.

However, if ANZ does not pay a Distribution in full on a

Distribution Payment Date, then the Distribution

Restriction applies to ANZ unless the Distribution is paid in

full within 3 Business Days of that date. The Distribution

Restriction only restricts distributions in respect of ANZ

Ordinary Shares. It does not restrict distributions in respect

of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares. The Distribution

Restriction only applies until and including the next

quarterly Distribution Payment Date. The dates for

distribution with respect to ANZ Ordinary Shares are

determined by ANZ, generally occur twice a year and do

not bear a fixed relation to the Distribution Payment Dates

for Notes. Accordingly, as soon as the Distribution

Restriction ceases to apply (as will be the case if the next

scheduled Distribution is paid in full) ANZ will not be

restricted from making a distribution on ANZ Ordinary

Shares – see Section 2.1.7 for more details.

As noted above, there is no restriction on ANZ Holdings

resolving to pay or paying any dividend on, or buying

back, or reducing capital on, ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares if ANZ does not pay a Distribution on a Note.

However, ANZ Holdings' capacity to do so may be

reduced by the application of the Distribution Restriction

on ANZ described above. It is expected that dividends

from ANZ will be a significant portion of the profits of ANZ

Holdings, at least in the short to medium term. However,

the profit contribution of ANZ to ANZ Holdings may

change in the future, including as a result of changes in

the business performance or restructuring of the ANZ

Group.

Changes in regulations applicable to the ANZ Group, or its

other obligations, may impose additional requirements

which prevent ANZ from paying a Distribution in

additional circumstances. Restrictions on the proportion

of profits that can be paid through ordinary dividends,

Additional Tier 1 capital distributions (including

Distributions on ANZ Capital Notes 8) and discretionary

staff bonuses will apply if the Common Equity Capital

Ratio falls into the Combined Capital Buffer. For further

information, see Sections 5.6 and 6.1.11.

Refer to Sections 5.6.4 and 5.6.5 for details of APRA’s capital

reform requirements which have increased the Minimum

Capital Ratio (mainly reflecting the increased regulatory

capital buffers) and which may reduce the excess

Common Equity Tier 1 Capital that ANZ holds at any time

over the point at which the Maximum Distributable

Amount starts.

6.1.7 Distributions may not be fully franked

Distributions on the Notes will be franked at the same rate

as dividends on the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares. ANZ

Holdings has not yet paid a dividend, and ANZ’s most

recent ordinary dividend paid in December 2022 was

franked at 100%. The level of franking may vary over time

and Distributions may be partially, fully or not franked. There

is no guarantee that ANZ Holdings will have sufficient

franking credits in the future to allow Distributions to be

franked.

If a Distribution is unfranked or partially franked, the

amount of the cash Distribution paid on the Distribution

Payment Date for that Distribution will be increased to

compensate for the unfranked component, subject to the

Payment Conditions – see Sections 2.1.3 and 2.1.6.

The value and availability of franking credits to a Holder will

differ depending on the Holder’s particular tax

circumstances. Holders should be aware that the potential

value of any franking credits does not accrue at the same

time as the receipt of any cash Distribution. Holders should

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

62

« CONTENTS

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfierAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

also be aware that the ability to use the franking credits,
either as an offset to a tax liability or by claiming a refund

after the end of the income year, will depend on the

individual tax position of each Holder and the tax rules that

apply at the time. The laws relating to the availability of

franking and franking credits may change.

Holders should be aware that they will not receive any

compensation or “gross up” if they are denied the benefit of

franking credits on their Distributions for any reasons.

Holders should also refer to the Taxation Summary in

Section 7, seek professional advice in relation to their tax

position and monitor any changes on an ongoing basis.

6.1.8 Risks upon Exchange for ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares are a different type of

investment from Notes. For example, dividends on ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares are not determined by a

formula. ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares rank behind the

claims of all other securities and debts of ANZ Holdings in

a winding-up of ANZ Holdings. ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares trade in a manner that is likely to be more volatile

than that of Notes and the market price is expected to be

more sensitive to changes in the performance, prospects

and business of the ANZ Group.

Other events and conditions may affect the ability of

Holders to trade or dispose of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares issued on Exchange. For example, the willingness

or ability of ASX to accept the ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares issued on Exchange for quotation or any practical

issues which affect that quotation, any disruption to the

market for the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares or to capital

markets generally, the availability of purchasers for ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares and any costs or practicalities

associated with trading or disposing of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares at that time.

6.1.9 Changes in Distribution Rate

The Distribution Rate is calculated for each Distribution

Period by reference to the BBSW Rate, which is influenced

by a number of factors and varies over time. The

Distribution Rate will move (both increasing and

decreasing) over time as a result of movements in the

BBSW Rate – see Section 2.1.4.

As the Distribution Rate moves, there is a risk that it may

become less attractive when compared to the rates of

return available on other securities issued by ANZ, ANZ

Holdings or other entities.

It is possible for the BBSW Rate to be negative. If this

occurs, the negative amount will be taken into account in

calculating the Distribution Rate. Even if the Distribution

Rate is calculated to be negative, there will be no

obligation on Holders to pay ANZ.

ANZ does not guarantee any particular rate of return on

Notes. Changes in the corporate tax rate will also affect

the Distribution Rate. If the corporate tax rate were to

change, the cash amount of Distributions and the amount

of any franking credits will change.

If ANZ determines that BBSW has been affected by a

“Reference Rate Disruption Event”, ANZ may select an

alternative reference rate that it considers appropriate and

make other related changes to the Terms (subject, in each

case, to APRA’s prior written approval) (see Section 2.1.4).

Holders should note that APRA’s approval may not be

given for any alternative reference rate it considers to have

the effect of increasing the rate of Distributions contrary

to applicable prudential standards. There is a risk that the

alternative reference rate that is used following a

Reference Rate Disruption Event may not coincide with

Holders’ preferences.

6.1.10 ANZ Capital Notes 8 are perpetual and

Mandatory Conversion may not occur on the

Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date or at all

Notes are expected to Convert into ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares on 20 September 2032 (subject to certain

conditions being satisfied) unless Notes are otherwise

Exchanged on or before that date. However, there is a risk

that Conversion will not occur because the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions are not satisfied due to, for

example, a large fall in the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Share

price relative to the Issue Date VWAP, or if ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares cease to be quoted on ASX, or have been

suspended from trading for at least five consecutive

Business Days prior to, and remain suspended on, the

Mandatory Conversion Date. The ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Share price may be affected by transactions affecting the

share capital of ANZ Holdings, such as rights issues,

placements, returns of capital, certain buy-backs and other

corporate actions. The Issue Date VWAP is adjusted only

for transactions by way of the consolidation, division or

reclassification of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares and pro

rata bonus issues of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares as

described in clause 6 of the Note Terms and not for other

transactions, including rights issues, placements, returns

of capital, buy-backs or special dividends. The Note Terms

do not limit the transactions which ANZ Holdings may

undertake with respect to its share capital and any such

action may affect whether Conversion will occur and may

adversely affect the position of Holders.

If Mandatory Conversion does not occur on the Scheduled

Mandatory Conversion Date, Mandatory Conversion

would then occur on the first Distribution Payment Date

following the Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date on

which all of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are

satisfied unless Notes are otherwise Exchanged on or

before that date. If Mandatory Conversion does not occur

on a possible Mandatory Conversion Date, Distributions

may continue to be paid on Notes so long as they are on

issue, subject to the Payment Conditions.

However, Notes are a perpetual instrument. If the ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Share price deteriorates significantly

and never recovers, it is possible that the Mandatory

Conversion Conditions will never be satisfied and

Mandatory Conversion will never occur.

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

6.1.11 Conversion on account of a Trigger Event
There are two types of Trigger Events:

•a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event; and

•a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

ANZ must Convert Notes into ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares if at any time a Trigger Event occurs. This could be

before or after the Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date.

Accordingly, any such Conversion on account of a Trigger

Event may occur on dates not previously contemplated by

Holders, which may be disadvantageous in light of market

conditions or their individual circumstances and may not

coincide with their individual preference in terms of timing.

The Common Equity Capital Trigger Event is based on

APRA’s definition of the Common Equity Capital Ratio

which means (i) in respect of the ANZ Level 1 Group, the

ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk weighted

assets of the ANZ Level 1 Group and (ii) in respect of the

ANZ Level 2 Group, the ratio of Common Equity Tier 1

Capital to risk weighted assets of the ANZ Level 2 Group, in

each case, as prescribed by APRA from time to time.

The Common Equity Capital Ratio may be significantly

impacted by a number of factors, including factors which

affect the business, operation and financial condition of

ANZ, and by APRA's prescriptions for the determination of

the ratios at Level 1 or Level 2. Accordingly, there is a risk

that ANZ’s Common Equity Capital Ratio falls to 5.125% or

below and that as a result, Notes Convert into ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares before the Scheduled Mandatory

Conversion Date.

The Non-Viability Trigger Event means the earlier of:

•the issuance of a notice in writing by APRA to ANZ that

conversion or write off of Relevant Securities is

necessary because, without it, APRA considers that ANZ

would become non-viable; or

•a determination by APRA, notified to ANZ in writing,

that without a public sector injection of capital, or

equivalent support, ANZ would become non-viable.

APRA has not provided specific guidance on when it will

consider an entity to be non-viable. However, APRA has

indicated that non-viability is likely to arise prior to the

insolvency of an ADI. Non-viability could be expected to

include serious impairment of APRA’s financial position and

insolvency; however, it is possible that APRA’s definition of

non-viable may not necessarily be confined to solvency or

capital measures and APRA’s position on these matters may

change over time. As the occurrence of a Non-Viability

Trigger Event is at the discretion of APRA, there can be no

assurance given as to the factors and circumstances that

might give rise to this event.

Non-viability may be significantly impacted by a number of

factors, including factors which affect the business,

operation and financial condition of ANZ. For instance,

systemic and non-systemic macroeconomic, environmental

and operational factors, globally and in Australia and New

Zealand may affect the viability of ANZ.

Conversion resulting from the occurrence of a Trigger Event

is not subject to the Mandatory Conversion Conditions or

other conditions. This is likely to mean that Holders would

receive significantly less than $101 worth of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares per Note (and suffer loss as a consequence)

because:

•the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares issued per

Note is limited to the Maximum Conversion Number

and this number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares may

have a value of less than $101;

•if the number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares to be

issued is calculated, based on VWAP, to be less than the

Maximum Conversion Number, the VWAP may differ

from the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Share price on or after

the Trigger Event Conversion Date. In particular, VWAP

prices will be based on trading days which occurred

before the Trigger Event Conversion Date;

•the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares received on

Conversion as well as ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares

generally may not be listed and so may not be able to

be sold at prices reflecting their values (calculated

based on VWAP) or at all; and/or

•the Maximum Conversion Number may be adjusted to

reflect a consolidation, division or reclassification of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares and pro rata bonus issues as

set out in the Note Terms. However, no adjustment will

be made to it on account of other transactions which

may affect the price of ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares,

including for example rights issues, returns of capital,

buy-backs or special dividends. The Note Terms do not

limit the transactions that ANZ Holdings may undertake

with respect to its share capital and any such action

may increase the risk that Holders receive only the

Maximum Conversion Number and so may adversely

affect the position of Holders.

If, following a Trigger Event, Conversion has not been

effected within five Business Days after the Trigger Event

Conversion Date for any reason (including where ANZ or

ANZ Holdings is prevented from performing any of their

obligations necessary to effect Conversion of the Notes

by applicable law or order of any court or action of any

government authority (including regarding the insolvency,

winding-up or other external administration of ANZ or

ANZ Holdings) or other reason (an Inability Event)),

Notes which would otherwise be Converted, will not be

Converted, but instead, the rights of the Holder (including

to the payment of Distributions and Face Value) in relation

to such Notes will be immediately and irrevocably written

off and terminated with effect on and from the Trigger

Event Conversion Date and Holders will suffer loss

as a result.

The laws under which an Inability Event may arise include

laws relating to the insolvency, winding-up or other

external administration of ANZ. Those laws and the grounds

on which a court or government authority may make

orders preventing the Conversion of Notes may change and

the change may be adverse to the interests of Holders.

About the Reinvestment OfierAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

Holders should be aware that:
•Relevant Securities such as Notes will be converted or

written off before any Tier 2 Capital instruments are

converted or written off;

•ANZ has no obligation to maintain on issue any

Relevant Securities and does not, and may never, have

on issue Relevant Securities which require them to be

converted or written off before Notes or in full;

•where a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs because

APRA determines that, without a public sector injection

of capital or equivalent support, ANZ would become

non-viable, all the Notes will be Converted;

•the greater the amount of Relevant Securities and Tier 2

Capital instruments that are required to be converted,

the more likely the market price of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares may be adversely affected as a result of

the conversion; and

•Relevant Securities are likely to have different maximum

conversion numbers depending upon the price of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares at the time those instruments

were issued. A holder of Capital Notes 8 who receives the

Maximum Conversion Number of ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares on Conversion of their Notes may receive fewer

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares per Note than a holder of

another Relevant Security the terms of which provide for

a higher maximum conversion number.

6.1.12 Exchange and Exchange Method may be

at ANZ’s option

ANZ may (subject to APRA’s prior written approval) elect

to Exchange some or all Notes on an Optional Exchange

Date or on the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Regulatory

Event, in accordance with the Note Terms. Holders have

no right to request or require an Exchange.

Any such Exchange at ANZ’s option may occur on dates

not previously contemplated by Holders, which may be

disadvantageous in light of market conditions or their

individual circumstances and may not coincide with their

individual preference in terms of timing. This also means

that the period for which Holders will be entitled to the

benefit of the rights attaching to Notes (such as

Distributions) is unknown.

Subject to certain conditions, ANZ also has in many cases

a discretion to elect which Exchange Method will apply to

an Exchange. The method chosen by ANZ may be

disadvantageous to Holders and may not coincide with

their individual preference in terms of whether they

receive ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares or cash on the

relevant date.

For example, if APRA approves an election by ANZ to

Redeem or Resell the Notes, Holders will receive cash

equal to $100 per Note rather than ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares and, accordingly, they will not benefit from any

subsequent increases in the Ordinary Share price after the

Redemption or Resale occurs. In addition, where Holders

receive cash on Redemption or Resale, the rate of return at

which they could reinvest their funds may be lower than

the Distribution Rate at the time. Where Holders receive

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares on Conversion, they will

have the same rights as other ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shareholders, which are different to the rights attaching

to Notes.

If ANZ elects to Resell Notes but the purchaser does not

pay the Face Value of any Notes on the Exchange Date,

those Notes will not be transferred and a Holder has no

claim on ANZ as a result of that non-payment.

6.1.13 Conversion on Change of Control Event

If a Change of Control Event occurs, ANZ is required to

Convert all Notes in accordance with the Note Terms (see

Clause 4.10 of the Note Terms). ANZ must, subject to Clause

4.10 of the Note Terms, give a Change of Control Conversion

Notice to Convert the Notes.

The Notes cannot Convert on the occurrence of a Change

of Control Event if the restrictions on Conversion described

in Section 2.4.3 apply.

If the restrictions prevent Conversion, ANZ will, as noted in

Section 2.4.4, give a new Change of Control Conversion

Notice which will specify Conversion as the Exchange

Method for Conversion on the next Distribution Payment

Date (under Clause 3.5(a) of the Note Terms). Conversion will

not occur if the restrictions described in Section 2.4.3 apply

on that date. This process will be repeated for each

Distribution Payment Date (under Clause 3.5(a) of the Note

Terms) until a Conversion occurs. If these restrictions

continue to apply, there is a risk that the Notes remain on

issue following the occurrence of a Change of Control Event.

Not all corporate activities that have the effect of a change

of control of ANZ or ANZ Holdings or their respective

business operations will be a Change of Control Event. In

particular, it would not be a Change of Control Event if

APRA were to require the compulsory transfer of ANZ’s or

ANZ Holdings’ business, or ANZ’s shareholding. Where the

corporate activity is not a Change of Control Event, ANZ is

not obliged to Convert Notes. Therefore, the outcomes for

Holders arising from that corporate activity will be

uncertain and Holders may suffer loss or face increased or

different risks.

6.1.14 Optional Exchange by ANZ is subject to

certain events occurring

If ANZ wishes to Exchange Notes, APRA’s prior written

approval is required. Holders should not expect that APRA

will give its approval to any Exchange.

The choice of Conversion as the Exchange Method is

subject to the level of the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Share

price on the second Business Day before the date on

which an Exchange Notice is to be sent by ANZ (or, if

trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares did not occur on

that date, the last Business Day prior to that date on which

trading in ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares occurred).

65

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

If the VWAP on that date is less than or equal to 22.50% of
the Issue Date VWAP, ANZ is not permitted to choose

Conversion as the Exchange Method. Also if a Delisting

Event has occurred in respect of that date, ANZ is not

permitted to choose Conversion as the Exchange Method.

The conditions to Conversion on the Exchange Date are

that the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition (as if it

referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date VWAP) and the Third

Mandatory Conversion Condition must both be satisfied

in respect of the Exchange Date as if the Exchange Date

were a possible Mandatory Conversion Date.

If the conditions to Conversion on the Exchange Date are

not satisfied, ANZ will notify Holders and the Conversion

will be deferred until the first Distribution Payment Date

(under Clause 3.5(a) of the Note Terms) following that

Exchange Date on which the Mandatory Conversion

Conditions would be satisfied as if that Distribution

Payment Date were a possible Mandatory Conversion Date.

The choice of Redemption as the Exchange Method is

subject to the condition that the Notes that are the

subject of the Exchange, are replaced concurrently or

beforehand with Tier 1 Capital of the same or better

quality and the replacement of the Notes is done under

conditions that are sustainable for ANZ’s income capacity,

or that APRA is satisfied that the capital position of the

ANZ Level 1 Group, the ANZ Level 2 Group and, if

applicable, the ANZ Level 3 Group is well above its

minimum capital requirements after ANZ elects to

Redeem Notes.

APRA has recently stated that, consistent with its

prudential requirements, where it considers any

replacement capital to be more expensive (including

because of higher credit margins), APRA may not approve

a Redemption unless ANZ satisfies it as to the economic

and prudential rationale for the Redemption and that the

Redemption will not create an expectation that other

regulatory capital instruments will be redeemed in similar

circumstances. The matters to which APRA may have

regard in considering whether to give its approval are not

limited and may change.

6.1.15 Conversion conditions

The only conditions to Conversion are, in the case of

Mandatory Conversion, the Mandatory Conversion

Conditions and, in the case of Conversion following a

Change of Control Event or an Exchange at ANZ’s option,

the conditions expressly applicable to such Conversion

under Clauses 4.10 or 5 of the Note Terms (as the case may

be). No other conditions will affect the Conversion except

as expressly provided by the Note Terms – see Clause

9.10(e) of the Note Terms.

Other events and conditions may affect the ability of

Holders to trade or dispose of the ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares issued on Conversion, for example, the willingness

or ability of ASX to accept the ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares issued on Conversion for listing or any practical

issues which affect that listing, any disruption to the

market for the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares or to capital

markets generally, the availability of purchasers for ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares and any costs or practicalities

associated with trading or disposing of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares at that time.

Furthermore, as set out in Section 6.1.11, Conversion

following a Trigger Event is not subject to any conditions.

6.1.16 Restrictions on rights and ranking in a

winding-up of ANZ

Notes are not deposit liabilities of ANZ or ANZ Holdings

and the payment of Distributions and payment on

Redemption or Resale is not guaranteed by ANZ or ANZ

Holdings. Notes are not protected accounts for the

purposes of the depositor protection provisions in

Division 2 of Part II of the Banking Act or the Financial

Claims Scheme established under Division 2AA of Part II of

the Banking Act. Notes are not guaranteed or insured by

any government, government agency or compensation

scheme of Australia or any other jurisdiction. A Holder has

no claim on ANZ in respect of Notes except as provided in

the Note Terms. Notes are unsecured.

In the event of a winding-up of ANZ, and assuming Notes

have not been Converted or Written Off, Holders will be

entitled to claim for an amount equal to the Face Value.

The claim for this amount ranks ahead of ANZ Ordinary

Shares, equally with the ANZ Capital Securities and any

other Equal Ranking Instruments, but behind all senior

ranking securities and instruments and all depositors and

other creditors. Claims in respect of Notes are

subordinated and, notwithstanding a winding-up of ANZ,

rank as Preference Shares as set out in the Note Terms.

However, the claim of Holders in a winding-up will be

adversely affected if a Trigger Event occurs. If, following

a Trigger Event, Notes are converted into ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares, Holders will become holders of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares. If, following a Trigger Event,

Notes are Written Off, those Notes will never be Converted

or Exchanged, all rights in relation to those Notes will be

terminated and Holders will not have their capital repaid.

If there is a shortfall of funds on a winding-up of ANZ to

pay all amounts ranking senior to and equally with Notes,

there is a significant risk that Holders will not receive all (or

any part of ) an amount equal to the Face Value in a

winding-up of ANZ. Although the Notes may pay a higher

rate of distribution than comparable instruments which

are not subordinated, there is a significant risk that a

Holder will lose all or some of their investment should

ANZ become insolvent.

6.1.17 Changes to credit ratings

ANZ’s cost of funds, margins, access to capital markets and

competitive position and other aspects of its performance

may be affected if it fails to maintain credit ratings

(including any long-term credit ratings or the ratings

assigned to any class of its securities).

Real or anticipated changes in the credit rating of ANZ will

generally affect any trading market for, or trading value of,

the Notes.

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

A credit rating is subject to suspension, reduction or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

Any suspension, reduction or withdrawal of a rating by a

rating agency could reduce the liquidity or market value

of the Notes or ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares received on

Conversion of Notes.

6.1.18 Regulatory classification

APRA has provided confirmation that Notes will, once

issued, constitute Additional Tier 1 Capital. However, if as a

result of a change of Australian law or regulation or any

statement of APRA, APRA subsequently determines that

all of the Notes are not or will not qualify as Additional Tier

1 Capital, ANZ may decide that a Regulatory Event has

occurred. A Regulatory Event will not arise where at the

Issue Date ANZ expected the event would occur. A

Regulatory Event will allow Exchange of all or some Notes

on issue at the option of ANZ (subject to APRA’s prior

written approval). For the risks attaching to ANZ’s

discretion to Exchange in certain specified circumstances

see Section 6.1.12.

6.1.19 Australian tax consequences

A general outline of the tax consequences of investing in

Notes for certain potential investors is set out in the

Taxation Summary in Section 7. This discussion is in

general terms and is not intended to provide specific

advice addressing the circumstances of any particular

potential investor. Accordingly, potential investors should

seek independent advice concerning their own individual

tax position.

Broadly, if a change is made to the Australian tax law or

practice and that change leads to a more than

insubstantial risk of:

•a more than insignificant increase in a member of the

ANZ Group's costs in relation to Notes; or

•a distribution on Notes not being frankable,

ANZ is entitled to Exchange all or some Notes (subject to

APRA’s prior written approval – see Section 6.1.12). ANZ

will not be entitled to Exchange in these circumstances if

ANZ expected the event on the Issue Date.

If the corporate tax rate were to change, the cash amount

of Distributions and the amount of any franking credits

will change. For instance, if the tax rate decreases the cash

amount of any Distribution ANZ may pay would increase

and the franking credits attached to that Distribution

would decrease.

ANZ has applied for a class ruling from the Australian

Taxation Office for confirmation of certain Australian tax

consequences for Holders as discussed in the Taxation

Summary in Section 7.

6.1.20 Accounting standards

A change in accounting standards by either the

International Accounting Standards Board or Australian

Accounting Standards Board may affect the reported

earnings and financial position of ANZ in future financial

periods. This may adversely affect the ability of ANZ to pay

Distributions.

6.1.21 Future issues or redemptions of securities

by ANZ or ANZ Holdings

Notes do not in any way restrict ANZ or ANZ Holdings

from:

•issuing further securities of any kind (whether ranking

with, in priority to or junior to or having different rights

from the Notes);

•incurring or guaranteeing further indebtedness; or

•redeeming, buying back, converting, returning capital

or converting any securities, other than the Notes

(except as described in Section 2.1.7).

ANZ’s obligations under Notes rank subordinate and

junior in right of payment and in a winding-up to ANZ’s

obligations to holders of senior ranking securities and

instruments, and its depositors and other creditors,

including subordinated creditors. Accordingly, in a

winding-up ANZ's obligations under Notes will not

be satisfied unless it can satisfy in full all of its other

obligations ranking senior to Notes.

ANZ may in the future issue securities that:

•rank for dividends or payments of capital (including on

the winding-up of ANZ) equal with, behind or ahead of

Notes;

•have the same or different dividend, interest or

distribution rates as Notes;

•have payment tests and distribution restrictions or other

covenants which affect Notes (including by restricting

circumstances in which Distributions can be paid on

Notes or Notes can be Redeemed); or

•have the same or different terms and conditions as

Notes.

ANZ may incur further indebtedness and may issue

further securities including further Tier 1 Capital securities

before, during or after the issue of Notes. For example, as

part of its ongoing capital management program, ANZ

continually considers the issuance of Tier 1 Capital

securities in domestic and offshore markets.

An investment in Notes carries no right to participate in

any future issue of securities (whether equity, Additional

Tier 1 Capital, subordinated or senior debt or otherwise)

by ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other member of the ANZ

Group.

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, which

the future issue of securities by ANZ or ANZ Holdings may

have on the market price or liquidity of Notes or of the

likelihood of ANZ making payments on Notes.

67

Similarly, Notes do not restrict ANZ from redeeming or
otherwise repaying its other existing securities, including

other existing securities which rank equally with or junior

to Notes (other than to the extent the Distribution

Restrictions apply).

ANZ may redeem or otherwise repay existing securities

including existing equal or junior ranking Tier 1 Capital

securities before, during or after the issue of Notes. An

investment in Notes carries no right to be Redeemed or

otherwise repaid at the same time as ANZ redeems or

otherwise repays other securities (whether equity,

Additional Tier 1 Capital, subordinated or senior debt

or otherwise).

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, which

the future redemption or repayment by ANZ of existing

securities may have on the market price or liquidity of

Notes or on ANZ’s financial position or performance.

6.1.22 Shareholding limits and nominee sales

The Financial Sector (Shareholdings) Act 1998 (Cth)

restricts ownership by people (together with their

associates) of a non-operating holding company of an

Australian bank, such as ANZ Holdings, to a 20% stake. A

shareholder may apply to the Australian Treasurer to

extend their ownership beyond 20%, but approval will not

be granted unless the Treasurer is satisfied that a holding

by that person greater than 20% is in the national interest.

Mergers, acquisitions and divestments of Australian public

companies listed on ASX (such as ANZ Holdings) are

regulated by detailed and comprehensive legislation and

the rules and regulations of ASX. These provisions include

restrictions on the acquisition and sale of relevant interests

in certain shares in an Australian listed company under the

Corporations Act and a requirement that acquisitions of

certain interests in Australian listed companies by foreign

interests are subject to review and approval by the

Treasurer. In addition, Australian law also regulates

acquisitions which would have the effect, or be likely to

have the effect, of substantially lessening competition in a

market, or in a state or in a territory of, Australia.

Holders should take care to ensure that by acquiring any

Notes (taking into account any ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares into which they may Convert), Holders do not

breach any applicable restrictions on ownership.

If the Register indicates that a Holder’s address is outside

of Australia (or ANZ believes that a Holder may not be a

resident of Australia) (such a Holder, a Foreign Holder) and

that Foreign Holder’s Notes are to be Converted, ANZ is

entitled, in certain circumstances, to appoint a nominee

(who may not be ANZ, ANZ Holdings or a Related Entity of

ANZ). If a nominee is appointed, the relevant ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion will be issued to the

nominee who will sell those ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares

and pay a cash amount equal to the net proceeds to the

Foreign Holder. There is a risk that ANZ may not be able to

appoint a nominee as the ability to appoint a nominee may

depend, among other things, upon the availability of a

suitable person to act as nominee.

Where a FATCA Withholding would be required or

permitted to be made in respect of ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion of Notes, ANZ may

either issue the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares which the

Holder is obliged to accept to the Holder of the Notes net

of FATCA Withholding and issue the balance of ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares to a nominee or will issue the

ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares which the Holder is obliged

to accept entirely to a nominee. In each case, the nominee

(which may not be ANZ, ANZ Holdings or a Related Entity

of ANZ) will sell the ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares issued

to it, deal with any proceeds of their disposal in

accordance with FATCA and, where the ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares have been issued entirely to the nominee,

pay a cash amount equal to the proceeds of their disposal

net of any FATCA Withholding and other amounts as

specified in the Note Terms to the Holder.

None of ANZ, ANZ Holdings or the nominee owes any

obligations or duties to Holders in relation to the price at

which ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares are sold or has any

liability for any loss suffered by a Holder as a ANZ Holdings

result of the sale of ANZ Ordinary Shares.

6.1.23 Powers of a Banking Act Statutory

Manager and of APRA

ANZ is an ADI and ANZ Holdings is an authorised

non-operating holding company of an ADI. In certain

circumstances APRA may appoint a statutory manager to

take control of the business of an ADI or an authorised

non-operating holding company of an ADI (each a

relevant entity). Those circumstances are defined in the

Banking Act and include (but are not limited to):

•where the ADI becomes unable to meet its obligations

or suspends payment;

•where the ADI informs APRA that it considers it is likely

to become unable to meet its obligations, or is about to

suspend payment;

•where APRA considers that, in the absence of external

support:

−the ADI may become unable to meet its obligations;

−the ADI may suspend payment;

−it is likely that the ADI will be unable to carry on

banking business in Australia consistently with the

interests of its depositors; or

−it is likely that the ADI will be unable to carry on

banking business in Australia consistently with the

stability of the financial system in Australia;

•where, in certain circumstances, the ADI or the

authorised non-operating holding company of an ADI is

in default of compliance with a direction by APRA to

comply with the Banking Act or regulations made under

it and the Federal Court of Australia authorises APRA to

assume control of the relevant entity’s business.

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

In addition, APRA has the power to take control of the
business of an authorised non-operating holding

company of an ADI where APRA has appointed, or intends

to appoint, a statutory manager to take control of the

business of the relevant ADI and certain other conditions

are met.

The powers of a Banking Act statutory manager include

the power to alter the relevant entity’s constitution, to

issue, cancel or sell shares (or rights to acquire shares) in

the relevant entity and to vary or cancel rights or

restrictions attached to shares in a class of shares in the

relevant entity. The Banking Act statutory manager is

authorised to do so despite the Corporations Act, the

relevant entity’s constitution, any contract or arrangement

to which the relevant entity is party or the Listing Rules.

The Banking Act statutory manager may also dispose of

the whole or part of the relevant entity's business. In the

event that a Banking Act statutory manager is appointed

to ANZ or ANZ Holdings in the future, these broad powers

of a Banking Act statutory manager may be exercised in a

way which adversely affects the rights attaching to the

Notes and the position of Holders.

APRA may, in certain circumstances, require ANZ or ANZ

Holdings to transfer all or part of its business, or require

the transfer of shares in ANZ, to another entity under the

Financial Sector (Transfer and Restructure) Act 1999 (Cth)

(the FSTR Act).

A transfer under the FSTR Act overrides anything in any

contract or agreement to which ANZ or ANZ Holdings is

party and thus may have an adverse effect on ANZ’s or

ANZ Holdings’ ability to comply with its obligations under

the Notes and the position of Holders.

In addition, Holders should be aware that secrecy

obligations may apply to action taken by APRA. This

means that information about action taken by APRA

(including in exercise of its powers under the Banking Act)

may not be publicly disclosed.

6.1.24 Amendment of Note Terms

ANZ may, in certain circumstances, amend the Note Terms

without the consent of Holders. ANZ may also amend the

Note Terms if the amendment has been approved by a

Special Resolution of Holders. However, no amendment to

the Note Terms is permitted without APRA’s prior written

approval if such amendment may affect the classification

of ANZ Capital Notes 8 as Additional Tier 1 Capital on a

Level 1, Level 2 or (if applicable) Level 3 basis. This applies

regardless of whether such amendment would require

Holder approval. Amendments under these powers are

binding on all Holders despite the fact that a Holder may

not agree with the amendment.

6.1.25 Approved Successors

Subject to certain conditions (including the receipt of

APRA’s prior written approval where required), ANZ may

elect to substitute an Approved Successor:

•as issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion; or

•to assume all obligations under the Note Terms.

ANZ may elect to substitute an Approved NOHC, ANZ

Holdings or ANZ as the Approved Successor, provided

that, where such entity is to be substituted as the issuer of

ordinary shares on Conversion, its ordinary shares will be

quoted on ASX immediately after the substitution.

Additionally, an Approved Successor can only be

substituted if, following the substitution, the Notes are

expected to remain quoted on the ASX.

In connection with an Approved Successor Event,

ANZ may:

•make any amendments it considers to be reasonably

necessary and appropriate to effect the substitution

consistent with the requirements of APRA in relation to

Additional Tier 1 Capital and instruments eligible to

fund Additional Tier 1 Capital; and

•where the Approved Successor Event involves ANZ

Holdings or an Approved NOHC assuming all

obligations in connection with the Notes, appoint a

trustee for Holders and reconstitute the Notes under a

trust deed compliant with Chapter 2L of the

Corporations Act (unless not required to do so by

applicable law) and enter into such other documents or

do any other things as ANZ considers to be reasonably

necessary or appropriate to effect the substitution

consistent with the requirements of APRA in relation to

Additional Tier 1 Capital and instruments eligible to

fund Additional Tier 1 Capital.

Holders do not have any right to vote on an Approved

Successor Event and Holders have no rights to require

ANZ to give an Approved Successor Notice.

The ability of an Approved Successor to perform the

obligations for which it is liable in respect of the Notes

may not be the same as that of ANZ (or ANZ Holdings, as

the case may be) and the substitution may adversely

affect the position of Holders.

6.1.26 No rights with respect to ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares

Holders have no voting or other rights in relation to ANZ

Holdings Ordinary Shares until ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares are issued to them. In addition, the Notes do not

confer on Holders any right to subscribe for new securities

in ANZ or ANZ Holdings or to participate in any bonus

issue of securities. The rights attaching to ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares if ANZ Holdings Ordinary Shares are

issued will be the rights attaching to ANZ Holdings

Ordinary Shares at that time. Holders have no right to vote

on or otherwise to approve any changes to ANZ Holdings’

constitution in relation to the ANZ Holdings Ordinary

Shares that may in the future be issued to them. Therefore,

Holders will not be able to influence decisions that may

have adverse consequences for them.

6.1.27 Design and Distribution Obligations
and Product Intervention Power

On 5 April 2019, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Design

and Distribution Obligations and Product Intervention

Powers) Act 2019 (DDO Legislation) was enacted. The

DDO Legislation imposes additional obligations on ANZ

regarding the design and distribution of certain financial

products offered to Retail Investors (including the Notes),

and grants product intervention powers to ASIC if it

believes significant consumer detriment may occur. The

DDO Legislation is supplemented by the Corporations

Amendment (Design and Distribution Obligations)

Regulations 2019 (DDO Regulations), which were

enacted in December 2019.

The design and distribution obligations in the DDO

Legislation do not apply to secondary market trading of

ANZ Capital Notes 8.

The DDO Legislation also gives ASIC a significant,

proactive power to issue a product intervention order if it

believes that a financial product has resulted in or will, or

is likely to, result in significant detriment to Retail Investors

(the Product Intervention Power). It is uncertain

whether ASIC would perceive there to be any significant

consumer detriment in relation to ANZ Capital Notes 8 or

similar securities. The DDO Legislation requires ASIC to

undertake a consultation process before it exercises the

Product Intervention Power.

The impact of these obligations remains untested,

however there is a risk that they may adversely impact the

issue, distribution and reinvestment of financial products

in the future, including instruments like ANZ Capital Notes

8. These changes may also affect the liquidity of funding

instruments (including instruments like ANZ Capital Notes

8), if they lead to a material reduction in future issuance

volumes or secondary trading activity by investors.

6.2 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND

UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED

WITH ANZ AND THE ANZ GROUP

6.2.1 Introduction

The ANZ Group’s activities are subject to risks 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). Certain risks and

uncertainties that the ANZ Group may face are

summarised below, and additional risks and uncertainties

that the ANZ Group may face are summarised in the

“Description of Principal Risks and Uncertainties Faced by

the Group” which is available at https://www.asx.com.au/

asxpdf/20221111/pdf/45hhy9vtq904tn.pdf.

Other risks and uncertainties that the ANZ Group is

unaware of, or that the ANZ 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 ANZ Group’s Position may be materially and adversely

affected, with the result that the trading price of the ANZ

Group’s equity or debt securities (including the Notes)

could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their

investment.

6.2.2 Risk arising from changes in political and

general business and economic conditions,

including disruption in regional or global credit

and capital markets

The ANZ 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 ANZ Group or its customers or

counterparties operate, trade or raise funding including,

without limitation, Australia, New Zealand, the Asia Pacific

region, the United Kingdom (UK), Europe and the United

States (the Relevant Jurisdictions).

The political, economic and business conditions that

prevail in the ANZ Group’s operating and trading markets

are affected by, among other things, domestic and

international economic events, developments in global

financial markets, resilience of global supply chains,

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. Examples of events

that have affected (and may continue to affect) global

political conditions include the ongoing conflict in Ukraine,

the United Kingdom ceasing to be a member of the

European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area on

31 January 2020 (commonly referred to as “Brexit”), UK

political developments and financial market challenges 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.

There are a number of remaining uncertainties regarding,

among other things, post-Brexit protocols and

arrangements among the parties involved.

The conflict in Ukraine is ongoing and fluid, it has had, and

is expected to continue to have, significant ramifications

on the geopolitical and economic landscape, particularly

in Europe. Commodity prices, in particular energy, food

and metals, have already been impacted and the future

impacts of the conflict remain uncertain. As a result of the

conflict, the United States, the UK and EU announced

broadly coordinated actions that collectively impose

significant and wide-reaching economic sanctions and

export controls relating to Russia – including the freezing

of some of the Central Bank of Russia’s foreign exchange

reserves. Other jurisdictions, including Australia, New

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

70

« CONTENTS

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfierAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

Zealand and Japan, have announced sanctions, export
controls and similar restrictions focusing on some of the

same targets and sectors. These sanctions are materially

impacting the Russian and other economies and the

international financial system. The extent and duration of

the conflict and any corresponding economic sanctions,

export controls and similar restrictions and resulting

market disruptions are difficult to predict. Though the ANZ

Group does not operate in and does not currently have

any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine, the conflict has

the potential to adversely impact the markets in which the

ANZ Group does operate, and any prolonged market

volatility or economic uncertainty could adversely impact

the Group’s Position.

Inflationary pressures are at high levels in many

economies, including in Australia, New Zealand, the

United States, Canada, Europe and the UK. Geopolitical

tensions, rising interest rates, central bank tightening, and

persistent COVID-19 challenges to the global economy,

such as global shipping capacity constraints, higher costs

for freight, supply chain issues, higher energy prices,

higher food prices, and tightened labour markets, are all

contributing to rising inflationary pressures on the global

economy. This may lead to counterparties defaulting on

their debt obligations, countries re-denominating their

currencies and/or introducing capital controls and/or one

or more major economies collapsing. While difficult to

predict, such events could destabilise global financial

markets, adversely affecting all participants, including

adversely affecting the Group’s Position. Food price and

supply, already affected by the war in Ukraine, is also

being impacted by extreme weather conditions in key

agricultural regions. These factors may impact financial

market or economic and social stability and could

adversely affect the Group’s Position.

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 Australian

and New Zealand 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 ANZ 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 affect

Australian or New Zealand economic activity, and, as a

result, could adversely affect the Group’s Position.

Instability in global political conditions, including as a

result of the conflict in Ukraine, 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 ANZ Group or its customers or

counterparties operate, or result in the introduction of

new and/or divergent regulatory frameworks that the ANZ

Group will be required to adhere to.

Should economic conditions deteriorate in markets in

which the ANZ Group or its customers or counterparties

operate, 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 ANZ

Group’s customers and the security the ANZ Group holds

against loans and other credit exposures, which may

impact the ANZ 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 ANZ Group’s financial performance may also be

adversely affected if the ANZ 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 and increases in costs resulting from

inflationary conditions) 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 ANZ Group or its customers or

counterparties operate. Should any of these occur, the

Group's Position could be materially adversely affected.

6.2.3 Risk arising from the COVID-19 pandemic

and future outbreaks of other communicable

diseases or pandemics

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Group’s

Position, and the domestic and global economy.

Increasing vaccination rates have led to the easing of

restrictions on regional and international travel, events,

meetings and other more normal activities. Governments

across Australia (including at the state level) have

indicated that they may in the foreseeable future

reintroduce prior restrictions or implement and introduce

further measures to contain the spread of future COVID-19

outbreaks. The New Zealand government has retained the

ability to introduce isolation periods and mask-wearing

requirements and, if necessary, other requirements on

travellers. Further variants may develop that require

different government responses and greater restrictions to

those that have been adopted to date. The ongoing

impacts of COVID-19 combined with other risks, e.g.

geopolitical risk, could exacerbate impacts and materially

increase economic disruption.

Disruptions to community health and economic activity

continue to impact most business sectors in Australia,

New Zealand and globally. Ongoing COVID-19 related

supply chain disruption and labour mobility constraints

could result in a decline in profit margins, and could

impact customers’ cash flows, capital, liquidity and

financing needs. This in turn has impacted demand for the

ANZ Group’s products and services and may result in

further short and long-term deteriorations of the quality

of the ANZ Group’s credit portfolio. Many of the ANZ

Group’s borrowers may continue to be negatively

impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an

increased risk of credit loss, particularly in the following

71

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

sectors: transportation; tourism and travel; entertainment;
education; discretionary retail; and property segments.

See Note 14 of the 2022 Financial Statements.

COVID-19 has notably impacted the property

construction industry through increased contractor risk

and a potential contagion effect impacting stability of the

property development sectors. Disrupted supply chains

and resultant cost increases remain a risk to project

feasibility where underlying property prices may not

increase in line with cost increases, causing projects to be

delayed or cancelled.

Substantially reduced global economic activity has caused

substantial volatility in the financial markets and such

volatility 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

restrictions, border controls, social distancing measures,

quarantine protocols and other containment measures

(including ongoing lockdown measures in China) have

contributed, and may continue to contribute, to reduced

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.

Conduct risk may be heightened because of the blended/

hybrid working model through its impact on employees’

behaviour and/or the ANZ Group’s systems and processes.

The risk of customer harm will continue to be shaped by

the economic and social impact of the pandemic. As the

economy recovers, individual customers still enduring

hardship may suffer detriment if the ANZ Group cannot

provide tailored support and sustainable arrangements

based on individual circumstances.

The ongoing ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic

remain uncertain and, as of the date of this Prospectus, it

is difficult to predict to what extent vaccines, boosters 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 ANZ 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 ANZ Group’s operations. Should any of

these occur, the Group’s Position could be materially

adversely affected.

The effectiveness of government and central bank

responses to the pandemic, also remain subject to

significant uncertainties. 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 these Risk Factors.

6.2.4 Risk relating to competition in the markets

in which the ANZ Group operates

The markets in which the ANZ Group operates are highly

competitive and could become more competitive in the

future. Competition has increased and is expected to

continue 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 ANZ 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 ANZ 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 are directly competing with the

ANZ 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 or store value in, new forms of

currency (such as cryptocurrencies or central bank

digital currencies) in relation to which the ANZ Group

may choose not, or may not competitively be able, to

provide financial services. For example, each of the RBA

and the RBNZ has announced that it is actively

researching central bank digital currency, the effect of

which, if adopted, on the Group’s Position is uncertain.

Any new form of currency could change how financial

intermediation and markets operate and, with that, the

competitive and commercial position of the ANZ

Group; and

•open Banking may lead to increased competition.

The impact on the ANZ Group of an increase in competitive

market conditions or a technological change that puts the

ANZ Group’s business platforms at a competitive

disadvantage, especially in the ANZ Group’s main markets

and products, could lead to a material reduction in the ANZ

Group’s market share, customers and margins and adversely

affect the Group’s Position.

Increased competition for deposits may increase the ANZ

Group’s cost of funding. If the ANZ Group is not able to

successfully compete for deposits, the ANZ 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.

72

« CONTENTS

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

Geopolitical and 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 credit provision increases, changes in

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.

6.2.5 Risk relating to the restructure of the ANZ

Group that established a non-operating holding

company

ANZ has established a non-operating holding company,

ANZ Holdings, as the new listed parent company of the

ANZ Group, and separated the ANZ Group’s banking and

certain non-banking businesses (the Restructure).

APRA has not yet finalised its prudential framework for

Australian non-operating holding companies (Australian

NOHCs) of ADIs. There is a risk that APRA’s final regulatory

framework for Australian NOHCs of ADIs and the

regulation of the ANZ Holdings over time will differ from

the existing regulatory framework. This may have negative

consequences for the ANZ Group and/or may require

further changes to its structure.

The Restructure has resulted in certain changes to ANZ’s

operating model. ANZ considers that these changes have

been implemented and managed appropriately following

the Restructure. However, it is possible that unexpected

business, market and/or regulatory factors may result in

these operating model changes not functioning as

expected and further changes may be required.

The failure to successfully implement all of the transition

and other items associated with the Restructure, or the

Restructure itself, could have an adverse impact on the

Group’s Position.

6.2.6 Risk relating to real estate markets in

Australia, New Zealand or other markets

Residential and commercial property lending, together

with real estate development and investment property

finance, constitute important businesses of the ANZ

Group. Major sub-segments within the ANZ 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 has been a

significant driver underlying property markets in the ANZ

Group’s core property jurisdictions (Australia, New Zealand,

Singapore and Hong Kong) since that time. While property

markets generally remained strong throughout the

COVID-19 pandemic, since interest rates have increased

the ANZ Group has seen property prices in Australia and

New Zealand fall. Investors are taking a cautious approach

and the extent of property price falls will ultimately

depend on the speed and magnitude of interest rate rises

and impact on the broader economic outlook.

In June 2022 APRA introduced credit-based

macroprudential measures in Australia, which require ADIs

to ensure they have the ability to limit growth in particular

forms of lending (including commercial and residential

property); moderate higher risk lending during periods of

heightened systemic risk or meet particular lending

standards, at levels determined by APRA; and ensure

adequate reporting against limits is established. Also, APRA

have indicated that commercial property definitions will

be more broadly aligned across the prudential framework.

These changes to APRA’s policy framework and the

formalisation of the credit-based macroprudential policy

measures prudential standard, effective from September

2022, may adversely affect the Group’s Position.


In New Zealand, median prices for residential property

increased in prior years, peaking in November 2021, prior

to declining in the 2022 calendar year. The RBNZ has

acknowledged that higher interest rates and rising costs of

living are putting pressure on households that may affect

home prices and that house prices are expected to keep

falling towards more sustainable levels in the near term.

Increases in interest rates may affect debt serviceability,

increase loan defaults experienced by the ANZ Group’s

borrowers, reduce demand for commercial and

residential property and the ANZ Group’s associated

lending products in both Australia and New Zealand.

New Zealand has already seen a material reduction in

demand for residential property. Following a prolonged

period of asset price inflation and record low interest

rates, interest rates commenced increasing from May

2022 in Australia and from October 2021 in New Zealand.

To address currently elevated inflation levels, interest rate

increases may continue.

This recent series of interest rate rises, on the back of

recent asset price inflation and yield compression, could

cause a decline in interest coverage ratios and asset

values, increase refinance risk and necessitate equity

contributions from borrowers towards debt reduction.

Secondary grade assets may be more susceptible to a

decline in prices if investors have overlooked weaker

fundamentals in a highly liquid market (debt and equity),

during a more favourable interest rate environment and

stable economic outlook. Refinance risk could be

exacerbated if the ANZ Group evidence liquidity

constraints in the bank and non-bank debt markets during

a period of greater uncertainty and volatility.

Separately, construction risk, including contractor stability,

the impact of supply chain constraints on cost of materials

together with increasing labour costs may impact

commercial property development feasibility and land

values in the short to medium term. Each of the factors

outlined above may adversely affect the Group’s Position.

73

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

6.2.7 Risk relating to acquisitions and/or
divestments

The ANZ Group regularly examines a range of corporate

opportunities, including acquisitions and divestments,

with a view to determining whether those opportunities

will enhance the ANZ 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, technology platforms and

management controls, as well as managing relevant

relationships and contracts with employees, customers,

regulators, counterparties, suppliers and other business

partners. The loss of key relationships and/or personnel

from an acquisition or divestment could have an adverse

effect on the Group’s Position.

There can also be no assurance that any acquisition (or

divestment) would have the anticipated positive results

around synergies, cost or cost savings, time to integrate

(or separate) and overall performance; as the underlying

assumptions for the acquisition (or divestment) may not

ultimately prove to be accurate or achievable. Any

acquisition (or divestment) may also impact the Group’s

credit ratings, cost of funds and access to further funding,

which could in turn adversely affect the Group’s funding

and liquidity positions.

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 ANZ Group that could adversely

affect the Group’s Position. All or any of these factors could

adversely affect the ANZ Group’s ability to conduct its

business successfully and impact the ANZ 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 ANZ Group or the counterparty to

satisfy its completion conditions or because other

completion conditions such as obtaining relevant

regulatory, shareholder 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 ANZ Group has previously

announced but not yet completed include the following:

•the acquisition of Suncorp Bank from Suncorp Group

Limited, which remains subject to satisfaction of certain

conditions and is expected to occur in the second half

of calendar year 2023;

•the sale of the ANZ Group’s Share Investment Lending

portfolio to Leveraged Equities Limited, which is expected

to occur in the first half of calendar year 2023; and

•the sale of a portfolio of commercial and mortgage

loans in Guam to Bank of Guam, which is being

conducted in phases with the final phase expected to

complete in early calendar year 2023.

If for any reason any announced acquisition, including

the acquisition of Suncorp Bank, is not completed, the

ANZ Group’s ongoing business may be adversely

impacted and the ANZ Group may be subject to a

number of risks, including: the financial markets may

react negatively, resulting in negative impacts on the

ANZ Group’s securities and other adverse impacts; the

ANZ Group may experience negative reactions from its

customers, vendors, and employees; the ANZ Group will

have incurred expenses and will be required to pay

certain costs relating to the acquisition, whether or not

the acquisition is completed, such as legal, accounting,

investment banking, and other professional and

administrative fees; and matters relating to the

acquisition may require substantial commitments of time

and resources by the ANZ Group’s management, which

could otherwise have been devoted to other

opportunities that may have benefited the ANZ Group.

The acquisition of Suncorp Bank from Suncorp Group

Limited is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.

These include Federal Treasurer approval, Australian

Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)

authorisation or approval and certain amendments to the

State Financial Institutions and Metway Merger Act 1996

(Qld). The terms and conditions of the approvals that are

granted may impose conditions, limitations, obligations or

costs, or place restrictions on the conduct of the ANZ

Group or its business following the acquisition, or require

changes to the terms of the transaction. There can be no

assurance that the regulators will not impose any such

conditions, obligations or restrictions, and that such

conditions, limitations, obligations or restrictions will not

have the effect of delaying or preventing completion of

the transaction, imposing additional material costs on or

materially limiting the revenues of the ANZ Group

following the acquisition or otherwise reducing the

anticipated benefits of the acquisition to the ANZ Group,

any of which might have an adverse effect on the ANZ

Group following the acquisition.

ANZ undertook a due diligence process in relation to the

proposed acquisition of Suncorp Bank which relied in part

on a review of financial, technology, legal and other

information provided in respect of Suncorp Bank or was

otherwise provided at meetings with Suncorp Bank

management. Despite making reasonable efforts as part

of the due diligence investigations, ANZ has not been able

to verify the accuracy, reliability or completeness of all the

information provided to it. If any information provided or

relied upon by ANZ in its due diligence proves to be

incorrect, incomplete or misleading, there is a risk that the

actual financial position and performance of Suncorp

Bank may be different to the expectations. There is also no

assurance that the due diligence conducted was

conclusive, and that all material issues and risks in respect

of the proposed acquisition have been identified and

avoided or managed, therefore, there is a risk that issues or

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfierAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

risks may arise that may adversely impact on the ANZ
Group. Suncorp Group Limited has provided ANZ with

indemnities relating to certain pre-completion matters as

well as representations and warranties in favour of ANZ.

There is a risk that these protections may be insufficient to

fully cover liabilities relating to these matters, which may

have an adverse impact on the ANZ Group's financial

performance and position. As is usual, the warranties and

indemnities are also subject to certain financial claims

thresholds and other limitations.

6.2.8 Risk that the ANZ Group is exposed to

credit loss

As a financial institution, the ANZ 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.

Whilst the risk of credit-related losses has increased as a

result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and

heightened political tensions, 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 ANZ Group or its customers

or counterparties operate, a sustained high level of

unemployment and/or further changes in interest rates and

inflationary conditions in the markets in which the ANZ

Group or its customers or counterparties operate, material

disruptions to supply chains, a deterioration of the financial

condition of the ANZ Group’s customers or counterparties,

a reduction in the value of assets the ANZ 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 ANZ 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 Section 6.2.3;

•industries exposed to the unwinding of government

stimulus packages and increasing interest rates as well as

industries reliant on consumer discretionary spending;

•industries that are heavily exposed to fuel supply

shortages and associated rising costs including aviation,

road transport, shipping and agriculture, particularly

given the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the

associated impact on oil and gas prices, production and

supply;

•participants in energy or commodity markets that are

exposed to rising margin payment requirements under

hedge or futures contracts that arise due to underlying

price volatility;

•industries at risk of sanctions, geopolitical tensions or

trade disputes (e.g. technology, agriculture,

communications, and financial institutions) and/or

declining global growth and disruption to global

supply chains which include but are not limited to

retail, wholesale, automotive, manufacturing and

packaging industries;

•the commercial property sector (including construction

and contractors) which is exposed to rising interest

rates, 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 to 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 facing labour supply shortages and/or who

are reliant on access to both skilled and unskilled

migrant workers, including tourism and hospitality,

technology, agriculture, retail, health, construction and

services;

•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); and

•industries exposed to the volatility in exchange rates

and foreign exchange markets generally.

The ANZ 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 ANZ 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 ANZ Group enters into,

and from the ANZ 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 ANZ Group relies on information

provided by or on behalf of customers and/or

counterparties, including financial statements and other

financial information. The ANZ Group may also rely on

representations of customers and independent consultants

as to the accuracy and completeness of that information.

The ANZ Group’s financial performance could be negatively

impacted to the extent that it relies on information that is

incomplete, inaccurate or materially misleading.

75

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

The ANZ Group holds provisions for credit impairment that
are determined based on current information and subjective

and complex judgements of the impairment within the ANZ

Group’s lending portfolio. If the information upon which the

assessment is made proves to be inaccurate or if the ANZ

Group fails to analyse the information correctly, the

provisions made for credit impairment may be insufficient,

which may adversely affect the ANZ Group’s Position.

6.2.9 Risk arising from regulatory changes

or a failure to comply with laws, regulations

or policies

The ANZ Group’s businesses and operations are highly

regulated. The pace of regulatory change has accelerated in

recent years. The ANZ 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 ANZ

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 ANZ 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

ANZ Group. Any future ramifications of the COVID-19

pandemic remain uncertain and, as of the date of this

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 ANZ Group’s

ability to manage regulatory change and increase the risk of

the ANZ Group not complying with new regulations when

they come into effect.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic also has the potential to

complicate the ANZ Group’s dealings with its regulators in a

number of ways. In particular, disruptions to the ANZ

Group’s business, operations, third party contractors and

suppliers resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic may

increase the risk that the ANZ 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 ANZ Group.

6.2.10 Risk arising from managing the ANZ

Group’s capital base could give rise to greater

volatility in capital ratios

The ANZ Group’s capital base is critical to the management

of its businesses and access to funding. Prudential regulators

of the ANZ 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 ANZ 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 a 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 ANZ 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 ANZ 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 ANZ Group operates (particularly the New Zealand

dollar and US 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. Any inability of

the ANZ Group to maintain its regulatory capital may have a

material adverse effect on the Group's Position.

6.2.11 Risk arising from litigation and
contingent liabilities

From time to time, the ANZ Group may be subject to

material litigation, regulatory actions, legal or arbitration

proceedings and other contingent liabilities that may

adversely affect the ANZ Group’s Position.

The ANZ Group had contingent liabilities as at 30

September 2022 in respect of the matters outlined in

Note 33 of the 2022 Financial Statements.

Note 33 includes, among other things, of the

following matters:

•regulatory and customer exposures;

•benchmark/rate actions;

•capital raising action;

•consumer credit insurance litigation;

•Esanda dealer car loan litigation;

•OnePath superannuation litigation;

•New Zealand loan information litigation;

•Credit cards litigation;

•Unlicensed third parties action;

•Available Funds action;

•the Royal Commission;

•security recovery actions; and

• warranties, indemnities and performance

management fees.

The ANZ Group regularly engages with its regulators in

relation to regulatory investigations, surveillance and

reviews, reportable situations, civil enforcement actions

(whether by court action or otherwise), formal and informal

inquiries and regulatory supervisory activities in Australia

and globally. The ANZ Group has received various notices

and requests for information from its regulators as part of

both industry-wide and ANZ 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 in recent years 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, privacy obligations, and information

security, business continuity management, 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.

6.2.12 Risk relating to operational risk events

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 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 under the ANZ Group’s risk

taxonomy include:

•Financial Crime (the risk of money laundering, sanctions

violations, bribery and corruption, and "Know-Your-

Customer" failure);

•Internal fraud (fraud attempted or perpetrated by an

internal party (or parties) against the organisation);

•External fraud & Theft (fraud attempted or perpetrated

against the organisation by an external party (i.e. a party

without a direct relationship to the ANZ Group (excluding

customers)) without involvement of an employee);

•Business Continuity (failure of the business continuity

management framework);

•Physical Security & Safety (the risk of damage to the ANZ

Group's physical assets, client assets, or public assets for

which the ANZ Group is liable, and (criminal) injury to the

ANZ Group's employees or affiliates);

•People (the risk of breaching employment legislation,

mismanaging employee relations and failing to ensure

a safe working environment);

•Transaction Processing & Execution (failure to process,

manage and execute transactions and/or other processes

correctly and/ or appropriately);

•Technology (the risk associated with the failure or outage

of systems, including hardware, software and networks);

•Conduct (the risk of loss or damage arising from the

failure of ANZ, 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 ANZ Group's business activities);

•Legal (the risk of execution errors in legal procedures

and processes);

•Regulatory Compliance (failure to comply with any legal

or regulatory obligations that are not captured through

other mentioned risks);

•Third Party (the risk of failing to manage third party

relationship and risks appropriately, for example, not

taking reasonable steps to identify and mitigate

additional operational risks resulting from the outsourcing

of services or functions);

•Information Security including Cyber (the risk of

information security incidents, including the loss, theft or

misuse of data/information - this covers all types of data,

and can include the failure to comply with rules

concerning information security)";

•Data Management (the risk of failing to appropriately

manage and maintain data, including all types of data, for

example, client data, employee data and the ANZ Group's

proprietary data;

•Model (the risk of incorrect model design, improper

implementation of a correct model, or inappropriate

application of a correct model); and

77

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

•Statutory Reporting and Tax (the risk of failing to meet
statutory reporting and tax payments/filing

requirements). Statutory reporting includes all external

reporting that the ANZ Group is obliged to perform

(e.g. regulatory reporting, financial reporting).

Loss from operational risk events may adversely affect the

Group’s Position. Such losses can include fines, penalties,

imposts (including capital imposts), 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.

Operational Risk can arise from a number of causes, such as

change risk events (for example, a failure to deliver a change

or risks resulting from change initiatives), and have a

number of different impacts, including reputational impact.

Pursuant to APRA and RBNZ requirements, the ANZ Group

and ANZ New Zealand 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 ANZ Group undertakes its operations

including adapting to remote working arrangements. Whilst

most major offices have returned to a blended/hybrid

working environment, the ANZ Group endeavours to follow

the relevant government directions in terms of place of

work, and any occupancy restrictions. Reliance on digital

channels continues to remain high, which in turn heightens

the risks associated with cyber-attacks and any disruption to

system/service availability.

Whilst business continuity plans have been well tested and

refined during the pandemic, impact to system/service

availability still has the ability to impact the Group’s Position

from a reputational, financial and compliance perspective.

6.2.13 Risk relating to the inability to attract,

develop, motivate and retain the ANZ Group’s

people to meet current and future business needs

Key executives, employees and Directors play an integral

role in the operation of the ANZ Group's business and its

pursuit of its strategic objectives. The unexpected departure

of an individual in a key role, or the ANZ Group's failure

given the challenges in the current environment to recruit,

develop and retain an appropriately skilled and qualified

person into these roles particularly in areas such as digital,

technology, risk or compliance, 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.

6.2.14 Risk associated with disruption of

information technology systems or failure to

successfully implement new technology systems

could significantly interrupt the ANZ Group’s

business

The ANZ 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 ANZ Group uses or is

dependent upon, may result in the ANZ Group failing to

meet its compliance obligations and/or customers’ banking

needs. In a digital world, customer’s expectations of always

on (24/7) banking services necessitates highly available and

resilient IT systems.

The ANZ Group has an ongoing obligation to maintain its IT

systems and to identify, assess and respond to risk exposures

associated with these systems, including IT asset lifecycle, IT

asset project delivery, technology resilience, technology

security, use of third parties, data retention/restoration and

business rules and automation. Inadequate responses to

these risk exposures could lead to unstable or insecure

systems adversely impacting customers, increased costs,

and non-compliance with regulatory requirements, which

may adversely affect the Group’s Position.

The ANZ 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 ANZ Group’s network, including ANZ

New Zealand and international branches, which rely on the

ANZ Group to provide a number of IT systems. A failure of

the ANZ Group’s systems may affect the ANZ Group’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 IT systems can be supported and

accessed remotely by a large number of technologists and

business users for extended periods. If such measures

cannot be effectively implemented, this may adversely

affect the Group’s Position.

In addition, the ANZ Group must implement and integrate

new IT systems, most notably Cloud, Data and Automation

technologies, into the existing technology landscape to

ensure that the ANZ Group’s technology environment is

cost-effective and can support evolving customer

requirements. Inadequate implementation and integration

of these systems, or improper operation and management,

including of their vendors and the supply chain, may

adversely affect the Group’s Position.

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

6.2.15 Risk associated with information security
including cyber-attacks

The primary focus of information security is to protect

information and technology systems from disruptions to

confidentiality, integrity or availability. As a bank, the ANZ

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 ANZ Group operates. This information is processed and

stored on both internal and third party hosted

environments. Any failure of security controls operated by

the ANZ Group or its third parties could adversely affect the

ANZ 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 ANZ 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 ANZ Group. Cyber criminals

may attempt to take advantage through pursuing exploits

in end point security, spreading malware, and increasing

phishing attempts. Furthermore, these risks may be further

exacerbated by geopolitical risks.

Additionally, failures in the ANZ 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 ANZ Group’s ability to retain and attract customers,

and thus may adversely affect the Group’s Position.

6.2.16 Risk arising from data management

Data management processes include capturing, processing,

distributing, accessing, retaining and disposing of large

quantities of data, including sensitive data. Data

management is reliant on the ANZ Group’s systems and

technology. Data quality management is a key area of focus,

as data is relied on to assess various issues and risk

exposures. Any deficiencies in data quality, or the

effectiveness of data gathering, analysis and validation

processes, or failure to appropriately manage and maintain

the ANZ Group’s data, systems and technology, could result

in ineffective risk management practices and, inaccurate risk

reporting which may adversely impact the Group’s Position.

Furthermore, failure to comply with data management

obligations, including regulatory obligations may cause the

Group to incur losses, or result in regulatory action.

6.2.17 Risk arising from modelling

As a large financial institution, the ANZ Group relies on a

number of models for material business decision making

including but not limited to lending decisions, calculating

capital requirements, provision levels, customer

compensation 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.

6.2.18 Risk arising from impact of future climate

events, biodiversity loss, human rights, geological

events, plant, animal and human diseases, and

other extrinsic events

The ANZ Group and its customers are exposed to

environmental, social and governance risks, including

climate-related events, geological events (including volcanic

or seismic activity or tsunamis), biodiversity loss, plant,

animal and human diseases or a pandemic such as COVID-19

and human rights risks. Each of these can cause significant

impacts on the ANZ Group’s operations and its customers.


Climate-related events can include severe storms, drought,

fires, cyclones, hurricanes, floods and rising sea levels. The

impact of these events can be widespread, extending

beyond primary producers to customers of the ANZ 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 ANZ Group

may be exacerbated by a decline in the value and liquidity

of assets held as collateral, which may impact the ANZ

Group’s ability to recover its funds when loans default.

Recent examples in Australia include severe drought

conditions, bushfires in 2019/2020, and severe flooding in

2021 and 2022. In addition, geological events have

occurred in New Zealand in recent years and the COVID-19

pandemic continues to impact the ANZ Group’s operations

and customers.

The risk of biodiversity loss, as a result of species extinction

or decline, ecosystem degradation and nature loss, is an

emerging risk that the ANZ Group is seeking to understand

further. In relation to biodiversity, risks can arise from

lending to customers that are significantly dependent on

biodiversity and ecosystem services, or who may have

negative impacts on biodiversity. The ANZ Group

acknowledges the need to protect and restore ecosystems

and mitigate biodiversity loss, including working to halt and

reverse forest loss and land degradation. The ANZ Group

understands that failure to manage these risks may lead to

financial and non-financial risks and may adversely affect the

Group’s Position.

Human rights risks can relate to the safety and security of

the ANZ Group’s people, labour rights, modern slavery,

privacy and consumer protection, corruption and bribery

79

Investment RisksHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationAppendix

and land rights. The ANZ Group uses risk-based due
diligence to identify human rights risks and impacts

associated with its business relationships. Failure to manage

these risks may adversely affect the Group’s Position.

New regulations or guidance relating to climate change,

biodiversity, human rights, or other environmental, social or

governance risks, as well as the perspectives of shareholders,

employees and other stakeholders, may affect whether and

on what terms and conditions the ANZ Group engages in

certain activities or offers certain products.

Depending on their frequency and severity, these extrinsic

events may continue to interrupt or restrict the provision

of some local services such as the ANZ Group branch or

business centres or ANZ Group services, and may also

adversely affect the ANZ 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.

6.2.19 Risks associated with lending to customers

that could be directly or indirectly impacted by

climate risk

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

prudential practice guide CPG 229 that is designed to assist

regulated entities (including the ANZ Group) in managing

climate-related risks and opportunities as part of their

existing risk management and governance frameworks.

APRA has also conducted its first climate vulnerability

assessment in calendar year 2021 and 2022 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 ANZ

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. The first disclosures

will be due for the financial year ending 30 September 2024.

In 2022, the RBNZ also added selected climate-related

events to New Zealand’s largest banks’ stress testing

program. The RBNZ is planning New Zealand’s first full

climate stress test for 2023. Embedding climate change risk

into the ANZ Group’s risk management framework in line

with APRA’s and other stakeholders’ expectations, and

adapting the ANZ 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 ANZ Group.

The ANZ 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 events impacting the

value and liquidity of collateral, which may adversely affect

the Group’s Position. The risk to the ANZ Group from

credit-related issues with the ANZ 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.

7.1 SUMMARY OF AUSTRALIAN TAX
CONSEQUENCES FOR HOLDERS

7.1.1 Introduction

The following is a summary of the Australian tax

consequences for certain Resident Holders and Non

Resident Holders who subscribe for Notes under the Offer

and hold them on capital account for tax purposes.

This summary is not exhaustive and the actual tax

consequences of your investment may differ depending

on your particular circumstances. You should seek your

own professional tax advice regarding the consequences

of acquiring, holding or disposing of Notes in your

particular circumstances.

In particular, this summary does not consider the

consequences for Holders who:

•acquire Notes otherwise than under the Offer;

•hold Notes in their business of securities trading,

dealing in securities or otherwise hold their Notes on

revenue account or as trading stock;

•are subject to the “taxation of financial arrangements”

provisions in Division 230 of the Tax Act in relation to

their Notes;

•in relation to a Resident Holder, hold their Notes

through a permanent establishment outside of

Australia; or

•in relation to a Non Resident Holder, hold their Notes

through a permanent establishment in Australia.

This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be

construed as being, investment, legal or tax advice to any

particular Holder.

This summary is based on Australian tax laws and

regulations, interpretations of such laws and regulations,

and administrative practice as at the date of this Prospectus.

7.1.2 Class ruling sought on the Notes

ANZ has applied to the ATO for a public class ruling

confirming certain Australian tax consequences for

Resident Holders. The class ruling will not become

operative until it is published in the Government Gazette.

When issued, copies of the class ruling will be available

from the ATO’s website (ato.gov.au) and ANZ’s website

(anz.com).

It is expected that, when issued, the class ruling will:

•only be binding on the Commissioner of Taxation if the

Offer is carried out in the specific manner described in

the class ruling;

•only apply to Resident Holders that are within the class

of entities specified in the class ruling, which is

expected to be Resident Holders who acquire their

Notes through the Offer and hold them on capital

account for tax purposes. Therefore, the class ruling will

not apply to Resident Holders who hold their Notes as

trading stock or on revenue account or who are subject

to the "taxation of financial arrangements" provisions in

Division 230 of the Tax Act in relation to their Notes

(which will generally not apply to the “financial

arrangements” of individuals unless an election has

been made for those rules to apply);

•only rule on tax laws applicable as at the date the class

ruling is issued; and

•not consider the tax consequences of a Conversion of

Notes on a Trigger Event occurring.

7.1.3 Distributions on Notes

The Notes should be classified as non-share equity

interests for Australian income tax purposes.

(a) Resident Holders

Distributions should be treated as non-share dividends

that are frankable.

Resident Holders should be required to include the

amounts of any Distributions in their assessable income.

Generally, provided that a Resident Holder is a “qualified

person” and the ATO does not seek to apply any anti-

avoidance rules to effectively deny the benefit of franking

credits to the Resident Holder, the Resident Holder:

• should include the amount of the Distribution as well as

an amount equal to the franking credits attached to the

Distribution in their assessable income in the income

year in which they received the Distribution; and

•should qualify for a tax offset equal to the franking

credits attached to the Distribution.

Where Resident Holders who are individuals or complying

superannuation entities are entitled to tax offsets, those

offsets should either be applied against their income tax

liability for the relevant income year, or give rise to tax

refunds to the extent that the tax offsets exceed the tax that

is otherwise payable by the Resident Holders. Resident

Holders that are companies are not entitled to refunds of

excess tax offsets, but should be entitled to a credit in their

franking account, subject to the qualifications mentioned

above and discussed further below.

A Resident Holder should be a “qualified person” if the

“holding period rule” and the “related payments rule” are

satisfied. Generally:

•to satisfy the “holding period rule”, a Holder must have

held their Notes “at risk” for a continuous period of at

least 90 days (excluding the days of acquisition and

disposal) within a period beginning on the day after the

day on which they are acquired and ending on the 90th

day after they become ex-distribution. To be held “at

risk”, a Holder must retain 30% or more of the risks and

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

Investment Overview

About the Reinvestment OfferAbout ANZ Capital Notes 8

benefits associated with holding their Notes. Where a
Holder undertakes risk management strategies in

relation to their Notes (e.g. by the use of limited

recourse loans, options or other derivatives), the

Holder’s ability to satisfy the “at risk” requirement of the

“holding period rule” may be affected; and

•under the “related payments rule”, if a Holder (or an

associate) is obliged to make a “related payment”

(essentially a payment passing on the benefit of the

Distribution) in respect of a Distribution, the Holder

must hold the Notes “at risk” for at least 90 days

(excluding the days of acquisition and disposal) within

each period beginning 90 days before, and ending 90

days after, they become ex-distribution.

A Resident Holder who is an individual is automatically

treated as a “qualified person” for these purposes if the

total amount of the tax offsets in respect of all franked

amounts to which the Resident Holder is entitled in an

income year does not exceed $5,000. This is referred to as

the “small shareholder rule”. However, a Resident Holder

will not be a “qualified person” under the small shareholder

rule if “related payments” have been made, or will be

made, in respect of such amounts.

There are anti-avoidance rules which can deny the benefit

of franking credits to Resident Holders in certain

situations, the most significant of which is in section

177EA of the Tax Act. It is anticipated that the

Commissioner of Taxation will not apply any of these

anti-avoidance rules to deny the benefit of franking credits

to Resident Holders in relation to Distributions payable on

the Notes.

(b) Non Resident Holders

Distributions should not be subject to Australian non

resident dividend withholding tax to the extent the

Distributions are fully franked.

To the extent an unfranked or partially franked

Distribution is paid to Non Resident Holders, withholding

tax will generally be payable on the unfranked portion.

The rate of withholding tax is generally 30%. However,

Non Resident Holders may be entitled to a reduction in

the rate of withholding tax if they are resident in a country

which has a double taxation agreement with Australia.

7.1.4 Disposal of Notes

(a) Disposal other than through Conversion

(1) Resident Holders

The Commissioner of Taxation’s view is expected to be

that the Notes are not “traditional securities” for the

purposes of the Tax Act. On that basis, any gain or loss

for a Resident Holder on disposal of Notes should be

taxed under the CGT provisions. Holders should refer

to the class ruling on this point.

A disposal of Notes on-market, or through a

Redemption or Resale, will be a CGT event.

Resident Holders may make a capital gain or capital

loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds from

the disposal are more than the cost base for their

Notes, or whether the capital proceeds are less than

the reduced cost base for their Notes, respectively. Net

capital gains will be included in the Resident Holder’s

assessable income. Capital losses can generally only

be offset against capital gains, but can be carried

forward for use in a later year. Holders should seek

their own tax advice in relation to whether any such

capital loss may be applied to offset capital gains in

their particular circumstances.

The capital proceeds from a Redemption will be equal

to the Face Value of a Note, unless the market value of

the Note (determined as if its Redemption had not

occurred or been proposed) is greater or less than the

Face Value. In that case, the greater or lesser market

value amount will be deemed to be the capital

proceeds, instead of the Face Value actually received.

Based on recently published guidance from the ATO,

where all of the Notes are Redeemed on an Optional

Exchange Date, the ATO should accept that the

market value of each Note (and therefore the

Redemption capital proceeds) is equal to the Face

Value of the Note. The Redemption proceeds should

not be treated as a dividend on the basis that they will

be debited against an amount standing to the credit

of ANZ’s non-share capital account.

The capital proceeds from a Resale of a Note to a

Purchaser will be equal to the Face Value of the Note,

assuming that the Resident Holder is dealing at arm’s

length with the Purchaser.

The capital proceeds from an on-market disposal of a

Note will be the sale price of the Note.

A Resident Holder’s CGT cost base (or reduced cost

base) for each Note they acquire should include the

$100 issue price of the Note and should also include

certain non-deductible incidental costs (e.g. brokerage

or advisory fees) associated with acquiring and/or

disposing of the Note.

83

Taxation SummaryHow to ApplyAbout ANZAdditional InformationAppendixInvestment Risks

For CGT purposes, each Note should be taken to have
been acquired by a Resident Holder on the date that the

Notes are allotted and issued to that Resident Holder.

If Notes have been owned for at least 12 months prior

to the disposal (excluding the days of acquisition and

disposal), a Resident Holder (other than a company)

may be entitled to receive CGT discount treatment in

respect of any gain arising on disposal of Notes, such

that a percentage of the gain is not included in

assessable income. The discount percentage is applied

to the amount of the capital gain after offsetting any

current year or carried forward capital losses. The

discount percentages are 50%, 50% and 331/3% for

Resident Holders who are individuals, trusts and

complying superannuation entities respectively.

Resident Holders who dispose of their Notes within 12

months of acquiring them, or who dispose of Notes

under an agreement entered into within 12 months of

acquiring them, will not receive CGT discount

treatment. Companies are generally not entitled to

obtain CGT discount treatment.

The Government has foreshadowed that “managed

investment trusts” (MITs) and “attribution managed

investment trusts” (AMITs) will not be entitled to the

CGT discount at the trust level. This legislation has not

yet been enacted. If this change comes into effect,

MITs and AMITs that derive capital gains will continue

to be able to distribute those amounts as capital gains

that may be subject to the CGT discount in the hands

of those beneficiaries who are entitled to the CGT

discount. Investors should monitor any potential

changes on an ongoing basis.

(2) Non Resident Holders

Non Resident Holders should generally not be taxable

on any gain realised on disposal of their Notes, as the

Notes should generally not be “taxable Australian

property” for the purposes of the CGT provisions.

(b) Disposal through Conversion

Under specific provisions of the Tax Act, any capital gain or

capital loss that would arise on Conversion should be

disregarded. The consequence of this is that the capital

gain or capital loss is effectively deferred, with a Holder’s

cost base in the Ordinary Shares acquired on Conversion

reflecting the Holder’s cost base in their Notes. This

outcome applies both to Resident Holders and Non

Resident Holders.

For CGT purposes, the Ordinary Shares acquired on

Conversion will be taken to have been acquired on the

date of Conversion, including for the purposes of

calculating the 12 month ownership period required for

the CGT discount concession (see Section 7.1.4(a) above).

7.1.5 Provision of TFN and/or ABN

ANZ is required to deduct withholding tax from the

unfranked part (if any) of Distributions in respect of the

Notes, at the highest marginal tax rate plus the Medicare

levy (currently being 47%), unless a TFN or an ABN has

been quoted by a Holder, or a relevant exemption applies

(and has been notified to ANZ).

7.1.6 GST

Holders should not be liable for GST in respect of the

acquisition, sale, Conversion, Redemption or Resale of

Notes, other than in respect of brokerage or similar fees.

7.1.7 Stamp duty

Holders should not be liable for stamp duty on the issue,

sale, Conversion, Redemption or Resale of Notes.

7.2 SUMMARY OF CERTAIN
AUSTRALIAN TAX CONSEQUENCES

FOR CN3 HOLDERS

We have set out below some high-level comments in

respect of certain Australian tax resident CN3 holders

regarding the redemption of the CN3 and the

Reinvestment Offer, where those holders are subject to

Class Ruling CR 2015/22 (which sets out certain Australian

tax consequences for certain Australian tax residents who

invested in CN3 in the initial offering) and hold their CN3

on capital account.

This summary is not exhaustive, the actual tax

consequences may differ depending on your particular

circumstances, and you should seek your own professional

tax advice. In particular, this summary does not consider

the consequences for CN3 Holders who:

• acquired their CN3 otherwise than under the initial

offering;

•hold their CN3 in their business of securities trading,

dealing in securities or otherwise hold their CN3 on

revenue account or as trading stock;

•are not Australian residents for tax purposes;

•are Australian tax residents but acquired and/or hold

their CN3 through a permanent establishment outside

of Australia; or

•are or will be subject to the “taxation of financial

arrangements” provisions in Division 230 of the Tax Act

in relation to their holding of CN3 or the Notes that they

will acquire under the Reinvestment Offer.

7.2.1 Final CN3 Distribution

Holders of CN3, including Eligible CN3 Holders who

participate in the Reinvestment Offer, will receive the Final

CN3 Distribution that is expected to be paid on 24 March

2023, subject to the payment conditions in the CN3 terms

and ANZ's absolute discretion.

The tax treatment of the Final CN3 Distribution should be

the same as the treatment of other distributions received

on the CN3, as outlined in Class Ruling CR 2015/22. On this

basis, provided that a CN3 holder is a “qualified person”

(see the general comments in Section 7.1.3 and Class

Ruling CR 2015/22), a CN3 holder should generally include

the amount of the Final CN3 Distribution as well as an

amount equal to any franking credits attached to the Final

CN3 Distribution in their assessable income and should

qualify for a tax offset equal to the franking credits.

7.2.2 Redemption of CN3

A CGT event will occur for CN3 holders upon redemption

of the CN3. This will apply to all CN3 holders (i.e. both

Eligible CN3 Holders who participate in the Reinvestment

Offer and CN3 holders that do not participate in the

Reinvestment Offer).

CN3 holders may make a capital gain or capital loss on the

redemption of their CN3, depending on whether the

capital proceeds from the disposal are more than the CGT

cost base for their CN3, or whether the capital proceeds

are less than the reduced cost base for their CN3,

respectively. Capital losses can generally only be offset

against capital gains, but can be carried forward for use in

a later year.

Based on published guidance from the ATO, the ATO

should accept that the market value of each CN3 (and

therefore the redemption capital proceeds) is equal to the

$100 face value of the CN3. The redemption proceeds

should not be treated as a dividend on the basis that they

will be debited against an amount standing to the credit

of ANZ’s non-share capital account.

A CN3 holder’s CGT cost base (or reduced cost base) for

each CN3 should include the amount they paid to acquire

the CN3 and may also include certain other non-

deductible incidental costs (e.g. brokerage or advisory

fees) associated with acquiring and/or disposing of the

CN3. If the CN3 have been owned for at least 12 months

prior to the redemption (excluding the days of acquisition

and disposal), a CN3 holder (other than a company) may

be entitled to receive CGT discount treatment in respect

of any gain arising on redemption of CN3, such that a

percentage of the gain is not included in assessable

income. The discount percentage is applied to the

amount of the capital gain after offsetting any current year

or carried forward capital losses. The discount percentages

are 50%, 50% and 33 1/3% for CN3 holders who are

individuals, trusts and complying superannuation entities

respectively.

Companies are generally not entitled to obtain CGT

discount treatment. We also refer to the proposed

changes to the CGT discount rules for MITs and AMITs

discussed in Section 7.1.4(a) above.

7.2.3 Cost base of Notes acquired under the

Reinvestment Offer

The amount of the redemption price for CN3 that is

applied in subscribing for Notes under the Reinvestment

Offer should be included in a Holder’s cost base (and

reduced cost base) for the purposes of determining any

future capital gain or capital loss on the disposal of Notes

on-market, or through a Conversion, Redemption or

Resale (see Section 7.1.4 above).

calculated according to the following formula:

Distribution = Face Value × Distribution Rate × N

365

where:

is calculated according to the following formula:

Distribution Rate = (BBSW Rate + Margin) × (1 - Tax Rate)

where:

BBSW Rate means:

(a) subject to paragraph (b), BBSW; and

reasonable manner;

(B) may consult with such sources of market

practice as it considers appropriate; and

(C) may otherwise make such determination

in its discretion.

Holders should note that APRA’s approval may

not be given for any Alternative Reference Rate

(or related adjustments) it considers to have the

effect of increasing the rate of Distributions contrary

to applicable prudential standards.

For the purposes of the foregoing:

(c) BBSW Rate means, for a Distribution Period:

(i) the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum)

designated “BBSW” in respect of prime bank

eligible securities having a tenor of 3 months

which rate ASX (or its successor as administrator of

that rate) publishes through information vendors

at approximately 10:30am (Sydney time) (or such

other time at which such rate is accustomed to

be so published) on the Determination Date; or

(ii) if ANZ determines that such rate (expressed

as a percentage per annum) as is described in

paragraph (i) above:

(A) is not published by midday (or such other

time that ANZ considers appropriate on

that day); or

obvious error,

such other rate (expressed as a percentage

per annum) that ANZ determines as appropriate

having regard to comparable indices then available.

(i) in the case of the first Distribution Period,

on the Issue Date; and

(ii) in the case of any other Distribution Period, on

(a) above:

(i) has been discontinued or otherwise ceased to

be calculated or administered; or

(ii) is no longer generally accepted in the Australian

market as a reference rate appropriate to floating

rate debt securities of a tenor and interest period

comparable to that of Notes; and

than the rate described in paragraph (a) above that

is generally accepted in the Australian market as the

successor to BBSW, or if there is no such rate:

(i) a reference rate that is, in ANZ’s opinion,

appropriate to floating rate debt securities of

a tenor and interest period most comparable

to that of Notes; or

(ii) such other reference rate as ANZ considers

appropriate having regard to available

comparable indices.

Margin (expressed as a percentage per annum) means

the margin determined under the Bookbuild;

Tax Rate (expressed as a decimal) means the Australian

corporate tax rate applicable to the franking account of

ANZ Holdings as at the relevant Distribution Payment

Date; and

N means in respect of:

(a) the first Distribution Payment Date, the number of

days from (and including) the Issue Date until (but not

including) the first Distribution Payment Date; and

(b) each subsequent Distribution Payment Date, the

number of days from (and including) the preceding

Distribution Payment Date until (but not including)

the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

3.2 Franking adjustments

If any Distribution is not franked to 100% under Part 3-6

of the Tax Act (or any provisions that revise or replace that

Part), the Distribution will be calculated according to the

following formula:

Distribution = D

(1 - [Tax Rate x (1 - F)])

relevant Distribution Payment Date.

3.4 Distributions are non-cumulative

(a) Distributions are non-cumulative. If all or any part

of a Distribution is not paid because of clause 3.3 or

because of any applicable law, ANZ has no liability

to pay the unpaid amount of the Distribution and

Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of

constitute an event of default.

Date to those persons registered as Holders on the Record

Date for that Distribution.

3.7 Restrictions in the case of non-payment

(a) taking security over ANZ Holdings Shares in the

ordinary course of business; and

(b) acting as trustee for another person where neither

ANZ Holdings nor any entity it Controls has a

beneficial interest in the trust (other than a beneficial

interest that arises from a security given for the

AppendixHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationInvestment Risks

(b) the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the
Third Mandatory Conversion Condition is not satisfied

in relation to a Relevant Date, ANZ will notify Holders

on or as soon as practicable after the Relevant Date,

in either case that Mandatory Conversion will not (or, as

the case may be, did not) occur on the Relevant Date (a

Non-Conversion Notice).

4.5 Common Equity Capital Trigger Event

A Common Equity Capital Trigger Event means ANZ

determines, or APRA has notified ANZ in writing that it

believes, that a Common Equity Capital Ratio is equal to

or less than 5.125%. ANZ must immediately notify APRA in

writing if it makes a determination under this clause 4.5.

4.6 Non-Viability Trigger Event

A Non-Viability Trigger Event means the earlier of:

(a) the issuance of a notice in writing by APRA to ANZ

that conversion or write off of Relevant Securities is

necessary because, without it, APRA considers that

ANZ would become non-viable; or

(b) a determination by APRA, notified to ANZ in writing,

that without a public sector injection of capital, or

equivalent support, ANZ would become non-viable.

4.7 Trigger Event Conversion Date

A Trigger Event Conversion Date means:

(a) in the case of a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event,

the date on which the determination or notification is

made under clause 4.5; and

(b) in the case of a Non-Viability Trigger Event, the date on

which APRA notifies ANZ of such Non-Viability Trigger

Event as contemplated in clause 4.6.

4.8 Conversion on Trigger Event

Conversion Date

If a Trigger Event occurs:

(a) on the Trigger Event Conversion Date, subject only to

clause 4.9(c), so many of the Notes will immediately

Convert as is:

(i) in the case of a Common Equity Capital Trigger

Event, sufficient (as determined by ANZ in

accordance with paragraph (b) below) to increase

the relevant Common Equity Capital Ratio to a

percentage above 5.125% determined by ANZ

in consultation with APRA; or

(ii) in the case of a Non-Viability Trigger Event,

required by APRA’s notice under clause 4.6 and,

where such notice does not require all Relevant

Securities to be converted into Ordinary Shares

or written off, sufficient (determined by ANZ in

accordance with paragraph (b) below) to satisfy

APRA that ANZ is viable without further

conversion or write off.

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event under clause 4.6(b) occurs,

all the Notes are required to be Converted;

(b) in determining the number of Notes which must be

Converted in accordance with this clause, ANZ will:

(i) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write off

Relevant Securities whose terms require or permit

them to be converted into Ordinary Shares or

written off either before Conversion of Notes

or in full; and

(ii) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares

or write off of those Relevant Securities is not

sufficient to satisfy the requirements of clause

4.8(a)(i) or 4.8(a)(ii) (as applicable), subject to

clause 4.8(e)(iv):

(A) ANZ will endeavour to Convert Notes and

convert into Ordinary Shares or write off

other Relevant Securities on an approximately

pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise,

in the opinion of ANZ, fair and reasonable

(subject to such adjustment as ANZ may

determine to take into account the effect on

marketable parcels and the need to round to

whole numbers the number of Ordinary

Shares and any Notes or other Relevant

Securities remaining on issue); and

(B) where the currency of the principal amount

of Relevant Securities is not the same for

all Relevant Securities, ANZ may treat the

Relevant Securities as if converted into a

single currency of ANZ's choice at such rate

of exchange for each such currency as ANZ

in good faith considers reasonable;

(c) on the Trigger Event Conversion Date ANZ must

determine the Holders whose Notes will be Converted

at the time on that date that the Conversion is to take

effect and in making that determination may make

any decisions with respect to the identity of the

Holders at that time and date as may be necessary

or desirable to ensure Conversion occurs immediately

in an orderly manner, including disregarding any

transfers of Notes that have not been settled or

registered at that time;

(d) ANZ must give notice of that event (a Trigger

Event Notice) as soon as practicable to Holders

which must specify:

(i) the Trigger Event Conversion Date;

(ii) the number of Notes Converted; and

(iii) the relevant number of other Relevant Securities

converted or written off;

(e) despite any other provision in this clause 4.8, none

of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay

the immediate Conversion of Notes as required by

clause 4.8(a):

(i) any failure or delay in the conversion or write

off of other Relevant Securities;

(ii) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger

Event Notice;

(iii) any failure or delay in quotation of Ordinary
Shares to be issued on Conversion; and

(iv) any requirement to select or adjust the number

of Notes to be Converted or any right to make

determinations in accordance with clause 4.8(b)(ii)

or 4.8(c);

(f ) from the Trigger Event Conversion Date, subject to

clauses 6.13 and 10.2, ANZ and ANZ Holdings shall

treat the Holder of any Note which is required to be

Converted as the holder of the relevant number of

Ordinary Shares and will take all such steps, including

updating any register, required to record the

Conversion.

4.9 Priority of Conversion obligations

(a) Conversion on account of the occurrence of a Trigger

Event is not subject to the matters described in clause

4.3 as Mandatory Conversion Conditions.

(b) A Conversion required on account of a Trigger Event

takes place on the date, and in the manner, required

by clause 4.8, notwithstanding anything in clauses 4.1,

4.10, 5 or 9.

(c) If Conversion has not been effected within 5 Business

Days after the relevant Trigger Event Conversion Date

for any reason (including an Inability Event),

Conversion of those Notes on account of the Trigger

Event will not occur and those Notes shall be Written

Off in accordance with clause 6.13 and the provisions

of clauses 4.8(b), 4.8(c) and 4.8(d) shall apply in respect

of that Write Off and those Notes as if each reference

in those clauses to “Conversion” or “Convert” were a

reference to “Write Off ”.

4.10 Mandatory Conversion on

Change of Control

(a) If a Change of Control Event occurs, ANZ must

notify Holders as soon as practicable after becoming

aware of that event by providing a notice to Holders

(a Change of Control Conversion Notice) and

of Control Conversion Date, subject to and in

accordance with this clause 4 and clause 6.

(b) A Change of Control Conversion Notice must specify:

(i) the details of the relevant Change of Control Event;

(ii) the date on which Conversion is to occur

(the Change of Control Conversion Date),

which must be:

(A) the Business Day prior to the date reasonably

determined by ANZ to be the last date on

which holders of Ordinary Shares can

participate in the bid or scheme concerned or

such other earlier date as ANZ may reasonably

determine having regard to the timing for

implementation of the bid or scheme

concerned; or

(B) such later date as APRA may require; and

(iii) whether any Distribution will be paid on the

Change of Control Conversion Date.

(c) A Change of Control Conversion Notice is taken

to be revoked and Conversion will not occur if,

on the Change of Control Conversion Date:

(i) the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition

(calculated as if it referred to 20.21% of the Issue

Date VWAP); or

(ii) the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition,

would not be satisfied, in each case, determined

as if each reference to “Relevant Date” in those

conditions were a reference to the “Change of

Control Conversion Date”.

(d) If clause 4.10(c) applies, ANZ must:

(i) notify Holders as soon as practicable that

Conversion will not (or did not) occur (a Deferred

Change of Control Conversion Notice); and

(ii) subject to this clause 4.10, give a new Change of

Control Conversion Notice on or before the 25th

Business Day prior to the immediately succeeding

Scheduled Distribution Payment Date (under

clause 3.5(a)) which is at least 25 Business Days

after the date on which the Deferred Change of

Control Conversion Notice was given.

(e) If a new Change of Control Conversion Notice is

revoked, clause 4.10(d) shall be reapplied in respect

of each subsequent Distribution Payment Date

(under clause 3.5(a)) until a Conversion occurs.

(f ) Nothing in this clause 4.10 limits the operation

of clause 4.8.

(A) no earlier than 25 Business Days after the date

on which the Exchange Notice is given, where

the Exchange Method is Conversion; and

(B) no earlier than 5 Business Days after the date on

which the Exchange Notice is given, where the

Exchange Method is Redemption or Resale;

(c) the Exchange Method, which may not be Redemption

unless either:

(i) Notes the subject of the Exchange are replaced

concurrently or beforehand with Tier 1 Capital of

the same or better quality and the replacement

of the Notes is done under conditions that are

sustainable for ANZ’s income capacity; or

(ii) APRA is satisfied that the capital position of the

ANZ Level 1 Group, the ANZ Level 2 Group and,

if applicable, the ANZ Level 3 Group is well above

its minimum capital requirements after ANZ elects

to Redeem the Notes;

(d) if less than all Outstanding Notes are subject to

Exchange, which Notes are subject to Exchange; and

(e) whether any Distribution will be paid on the

Exchange Date.

5.3 Exchange Method

If ANZ elects to Exchange Notes in accordance with

this clause 5, it must, subject to APRA’s prior written

approval and clause 5.2(c) and clause 5.4, elect which of

the following (or which combination of the following) it

intends to do in respect of Notes (the Exchange Method):

(a) Convert Notes into Ordinary Shares in accordance

with clause 6;

(b) Redeem Notes in accordance with clause 7; or

(c) Resell Notes in accordance with clause 8.

If ANZ issues an Exchange Notice to Exchange only

some Notes, ANZ must endeavour to treat Holders on an

approximately proportionate basis, but may discriminate

to take account of the effect on holdings which would be

Non-marketable Parcels and other considerations.

5.4 Restrictions on election by ANZ

of Conversion as Exchange Method

ANZ may not elect Conversion as the Exchange Method

in respect of an Exchange under this clause 5 if:

(a) on the second Business Day before the date on which

an Exchange Notice is to be sent by ANZ (or, if trading

in Ordinary Shares did not occur on that date, the last

Business Day prior to that date on which trading in

Ordinary Shares occurred) (the Non-Conversion Test

Date) the VWAP on that date is less than or equal to

22.50% of the Issue Date VWAP (the First Optional

Conversion Restriction); or

(b) a Delisting Event applies in respect of the

Non-Conversion Test Date (the Second Optional

Conversion Restriction and, together with the First

Optional Conversion Restriction, the Optional

Conversion Restrictions).

5.5 Conditions to Conversion occurring

once elected by ANZ

If ANZ has given an Exchange Notice in which it has

elected Conversion as the Exchange Method but, if the

Exchange Date were a Relevant Date for the purposes

of clause 4, either the Second Mandatory Conversion

Condition (as if it referred to 20.21% of the Issue Date

VWAP) or the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition

would not be satisfied in respect of that date, then,

notwithstanding any other provision of these Note Terms:

(a) the Exchange Date will be deferred until the first

Distribution Payment Date (under clause 3.5(a)) on

which the Mandatory Conversion Conditions would

be satisfied if that Distribution Payment Date were a

Relevant Date for the purposes of clause 4 (the

Deferred Conversion Date);

(b) ANZ must Convert the Notes on the Deferred

Conversion Date (unless the Notes are earlier

Exchanged in accordance with these Note Terms); and

(c) until the Deferred Conversion Date, all rights attaching

to the Notes will continue as if the Exchange Notice

had not been given.

ANZ will notify Holders on or as soon as practicable

after an Exchange Date in respect of which this clause 5.5

applies that Conversion did not occur on that Exchange

Date (a Deferred Conversion Notice).

5.6 Purchases

ANZ or any other member of the ANZ Group may at any

time purchase the Notes in the open market or otherwise

and at any price or consideration, subject to the prior

written approval of APRA.

Holders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be

given for any purchase of Notes under these Note Terms.

6 CONVERSION MECHANICS

6.1 Conversion

If ANZ elects to Convert Notes or must Convert Notes in

accordance with these Note Terms, then, subject to this

clause 6 and clause 11, the following provisions apply:

(a) Each Note will be automatically transferred free from

any Encumbrance to ANZ Holdings on the Mandatory

Conversion Date, the Trigger Event Conversion Date,

the Exchange Date or the Change of Control

Conversion Date (as the case may be);

(b) ANZ Holdings will allot and issue on the Mandatory

Conversion Date, the Trigger Event Conversion Date,

the Exchange Date or the Change of Control

Conversion Date (as the case may be) a number of
Ordinary Shares in respect of each Note held by the

Holder equal to the Conversion Number, where the

Conversion Number (but subject to the Conversion

Number being no more than the Maximum

Conversion Number) is a number calculated according

to the following formula:

Conversion Number = Face Value

(99% x VWAP)

where:

V WAP (expressed in dollars and cents) means the

VWAP during the VWAP Period and where the

Maximum Conversion Number means a number

calculated according to the following formula:

Maximum

Conversion Number

=

Face Value

Issue Date VWAP ×

Relevant Number

where Relevant Number means:

(i) if Conversion is occurring on a Mandatory

Conversion Date, 0.5; and

(ii) if Conversion is occurring at any other time, 0.2;

(c) each Holder’s rights (including to payment of Face

Value and Distributions other than the Distribution,

if any, payable on a date when Conversion is required

that is not a Trigger Event Conversion Date) in relation

to each Note that is being Converted will be

automatically transferred for an amount equal to the

Face Value of that Note and ANZ Holdings will apply

that Face Value by way of payment for subscription for

the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued under

clause 6.1(b) and in accordance with the Deed Poll.

Each Holder is taken to have irrevocably directed that

any amount payable under this clause 6.1 is to be

applied as provided for in this clause 6.1 and no Holder

has any right to payment in any other way;

(d) if the total number of additional Ordinary Shares

to be allotted to a Holder in respect of their aggregate

holding of Notes upon Conversion includes a fraction

of an Ordinary Share, that fraction of an Ordinary Share

will be disregarded;

(e) the rights attaching to Ordinary Shares issued as a

result of Conversion do not take effect until 5:00pm

(Melbourne time) on the Mandatory Conversion Date,

the Trigger Event Conversion Date (unless another

time is required for Conversion on that date), the

Exchange Date or the Change of Control Conversion

Date (as the case may be). At that time all other rights

conferred or restrictions imposed on that Note under

these Note Terms will no longer have effect (except for

rights relating to a Distribution which is payable but

has not been paid on or before a date when

Conversion is required that is not a Trigger Event

Conversion Date which will continue); and

(f ) as agreed between, amongst others, ANZ Holdings

and ANZ under the Implementation Deed, ANZ

Holdings, ANZ and their Related Bodies Corporate will

deal with the Notes being Converted so that they are

converted into ANZ Ordinary Shares and terminated

(the Related Conversion Steps).

6.2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in these Note Terms:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the

relevant VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares have been

quoted on ASX as cum dividend or cum any other

distribution or entitlement and Notes will Convert into

Ordinary Shares after the date those Ordinary Shares

no longer carry that dividend or any other distribution

or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days

on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted

cum dividend or cum any other distribution or

entitlement shall be reduced by an amount

(Cum Value) equal to:

(i) in case of a dividend or other distribution, the

amount of that dividend or other distribution

including, if the dividend or other distribution is

franked, the amount that would be included in the

assessable income of a recipient of the dividend or

other distribution who is both a resident of

Australia and a natural person under the Tax Act;

(ii) in the case of any other entitlement that is not a

dividend or other distribution under clause 6.2(a)(i)

which is traded on ASX on any of those Business

Days, the volume weighted average sale price of

all such entitlements sold on ASX during the VWAP

Period on the Business Days on which those

entitlements were traded; or

(iii) in the case of any other entitlement which is not

traded on ASX during the VWAP Period, the value

of the entitlement as reasonably determined by

the ANZ Holdings Directors; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP

Period, Ordinary Shares have been quoted on ASX as

ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement,

and Notes will Convert into Ordinary Shares which

would be entitled to receive the relevant dividend or

other distribution or entitlement, the VWAP on the

Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have

been quoted ex dividend or ex any other distribution

or entitlement shall be increased by the Cum Value.

6.3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions

and similar transactions

Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change

in the number of the Ordinary Shares on issue as a result

of a division, consolidation or reclassification of ANZ

Holdings' share capital (not involving any cash payment or

other distribution (or compensation) to or by Ordinary

Shareholders) (a Reorganisation), in calculating the VWAP

for that VWAP Period the daily VWAP applicable on each

day in the relevant VWAP Period which falls before the

99

AppendixHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationInvestment Risks

date on which trading in Ordinary Shares is conducted
on a post Reorganisation basis shall be adjusted by

multiplying such VWAP by the following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares

immediately before the Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares

immediately after the Reorganisation.

6.4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP,

adjustments to VWAP will be made in accordance with

clause 6.2 and clause 6.3 during the VWAP Period for the

Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date, adjustments

to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with clauses 6.5 to 6.7

(inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will correspondingly affect the application

of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions, the Optional

Conversion Restrictions, and cause an adjustment to

the Maximum Conversion Number.

6.5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

for bonus issues

(a) Subject to clause 6.5(b) below, if ANZ Holdings makes

a pro rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to holders of

Ordinary Shares generally, the Issue Date VWAP will be

adjusted immediately in accordance with the

following formula:

V = V₀ × RD

RD + RN

where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately

after the application of this formula;

V₀ means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately

prior to the application of this formula;

RN means the number of Ordinary Shares issued

pursuant to the bonus issue; and

RD means the number of Ordinary Shares on issue

immediately prior to the allotment of new Ordinary

Shares pursuant to the bonus issue.

(b) Clause 6.5(a) does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued

as part of a bonus share plan, employee or executive

share plan, executive option plan, share top up plan,

share purchase plan or a dividend reinvestment plan.

(c) For the purpose of clause 6.5(a), an issue will be

regarded as a pro rata issue notwithstanding that

ANZ Holdings does not make offers to some or all

holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses

outside Australia, provided that in so doing ANZ

Holdings is not in contravention of the ASX Listing

Rules.

(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made

under this clause 6.5 for any offer of Ordinary Shares

not covered by clause 6.5(a), including a rights issue

or other essentially pro rata issue.

(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of

Ordinary Shares except as covered by clause 6.5(a)

shall not in any way restrict ANZ Holdings from issuing

Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit

nor require any consent or concurrence of any

Holders.

6.6 Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP

for divisions and similar transactions

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date, a Reorganisation

occurs, ANZ shall adjust the Issue Date VWAP by

multiplying the Issue Date VWAP applicable on the

Business Day immediately before the date of any

such Reorganisation by the following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares

immediately before the Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares

immediately after the Reorganisation.

(b) Each Holder acknowledges that ANZ Holdings may

consolidate, divide or reclassify securities so that there

is a lesser or greater number of Ordinary Shares at any

time in its absolute discretion without any such action

requiring any consent or concurrence of any Holders.

6.7 No adjustment to Issue Date VWAP

in certain circumstances

Despite the provisions of clauses 6.5 and 6.6, no

adjustment shall be made to the Issue Date VWAP where

such adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less

than one percent of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

6.8 Announcement of adjustment to VWAP

or Issue Date VWAP

ANZ will notify Holders (an Adjustment Notice) of any

adjustment to the VWAP or the Issue Date VWAP under

this clause 6 within 10 Business Days of ANZ determining

the adjustment and the adjustment set out in the

announcement will be final and binding on all Holders

and these Note Terms will be construed accordingly.

6.9 Ordinary Shares

Each Ordinary Share issued upon Conversion ranks pari

passu with all other fully paid Ordinary Shares.

6.10 Foreign Holders

Where Notes held by a Foreign Holder are to be

Converted, unless ANZ is satisfied that the laws of the

Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue

of Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which

ANZ is not bound to enquire), either unconditionally

or after compliance with conditions which ANZ in its
absolute discretion regards as acceptable and not unduly

onerous, the Ordinary Shares which the Foreign Holder is

obliged to accept will be issued to a nominee (which may

not be ANZ or a Related Entity of ANZ) who will sell those

Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the

Proceeds to the Foreign Holder.

6.11 FATC A Withholding on Conversion

Where a FATCA Withholding would be required or

permitted to be made in respect of Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion of Notes, the Ordinary Shares which the

Holder is obliged to accept will be issued, at ANZ’s

election, either:

(a) to the Holder of the Notes net of FATCA Withholding,

and the balance of the Ordinary Shares (if any) will be

issued to a nominee; or

(b) entirely to a nominee,

and in each case, the nominee (which may not be ANZ

or a Related Entity of ANZ) will sell the Ordinary Shares

issued to it, deal with any proceeds of their disposal in

accordance with FATCA and, where paragraph (b) applies

pay a cash amount equal to the Proceeds net of any

FATCA Withholding to the Holder.

6.12 Listing Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion

ANZ Holdings shall use all reasonable endeavours to list

the Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion of the Notes

on ASX.

6.13 Write Off

Notwithstanding clause 9.1(a), if Conversion has not been

effected within 5 Business Days after the relevant Trigger

Event Conversion Date for any reason (including an Inability

Event), each Note which, but for clause 4.9(c) and this clause

6.13, would be Converted, will be Written Off with effect on

and from the Trigger Event Conversion Date.

In this clause 6.13, Written Off means that, in respect

of a Note and a Trigger Event Conversion Date:

(a) the Note will not be Converted on that date and will

not be Converted, Redeemed or Resold under these

Note Terms on any subsequent date; and

(b) the relevant Holders’ rights (including to payment of

Distributions and Face Value) in relation to such Note

are immediately and irrevocably terminated and

written off.

6.14 No duties on sale

For the purposes of clauses 6.10 and 6.11, none of ANZ,

ANZ Holdings or the nominee owes any obligations or

duties to Holders in relation to the price at which Ordinary

Shares are sold or has any liability for any loss suffered by a

Holder as a result of the sale of Ordinary Shares.

7 REDEMPTION MECHANICS

7.1 Redemption mechanics to apply

to Redemption

If, subject to APRA’s prior written approval and compliance

with the conditions in clause 5.2(c), ANZ elects to Redeem

Notes in accordance with these Note Terms, the provisions

of this clause 7 apply to that Redemption.

Holders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be

given for any Exchange of Notes under the Note Terms.

7.2 Redemption

Notes will be Redeemed by payment on the Exchange

Date of the Face Value to the Holder.

7.3 Effect of Redemption on Holders

On the Exchange Date the only right Holders will have in

respect of Notes will be to obtain the Face Value payable

in accordance with these Note Terms. Upon the Face Value

being paid (or taken to be paid in accordance with clause

13.3), all other rights conferred, or restrictions imposed, by

the Notes will no longer have effect.

8 RESALE ON EXCHANGE DATE

(a) If, subject to APRA’s prior written approval, ANZ elects

to Resell Notes in accordance with these Note Terms,

the provisions of this clause 8 apply to that Resale.

(b) ANZ may appoint one or more Purchasers for the

Resale on such terms as may be agreed between

ANZ and the Purchaser (and to the extent that any

such terms may cause the Notes to cease to be

Additional Tier 1 Capital, with the prior written

approval of APRA) including:

(i) as to the conditions of any Resale, the procedures

for settlement of such Resale and the

circumstances in which the Exchange Notice

specifying Resale as the Exchange Method may

be amended, modified, added to or restated;

(ii) as to the substitution of another entity (not being

ANZ or a Related Entity of ANZ) as Purchaser if, for

any reason, ANZ is not satisfied that the Purchaser

will perform its obligations under this clause 8; and

(iii) as to the terms (if any) on which any Notes

acquired by a Purchaser may be redeemed,

converted or otherwise dealt with.

(c) If ANZ appoints more than one Purchaser in respect of

a Resale, all or any of the Notes held by a Holder which

are being Resold may be purchased by any one or any

combination of the Purchasers, as determined by ANZ.

(d) ANZ may not appoint itself or any Related Entity

of ANZ as a Purchaser.

(e) If ANZ issues an Exchange Notice specifying Resale

as the Exchange Method:

(i) each Holder is taken irrevocably to offer to sell the

relevant number of their Notes to the Purchaser

on the Exchange Date for a cash amount per Note

equal to the Face Value;

101

AppendixHow to ApplyAbout ANZTaxation SummaryAdditional InformationInvestment Risks

(ii) subject to payment by the Purchaser of the Face
Value to Holders, all right, title and interests in the

relevant number of Notes will be transferred from

the Holders to the Purchaser on the Exchange

Date; and

(iii) if the Purchaser does not pay the Face Value

to the relevant Holders on the Exchange Date,

the Exchange Notice specifying Resale as the

Exchange Method will be void as it relates to that

Purchaser, the relevant number of Notes will not

be transferred to the Purchaser, those Notes are

not Resold on that date and a Holder has no claim

on ANZ as a result of that non-payment.

(f ) Clause 13 will apply to payments by the Purchaser

as if the Purchaser was ANZ. If any payment to a

particular Holder is not made or treated as made

on the Exchange Date because of any error by or on

behalf of the Purchaser, the relevant Notes of that

Holder will not be transferred until payment is made

but the transfer of all other relevant Notes will not

be affected by the failure.

9 GENERAL RIGHTS IN

RESPECT OF NOTES

9.1 Ranking in a winding-up

(a) If an order is made by a court of competent

jurisdiction in Australia (other than an order

successfully appealed or permanently stayed

within 30 days), or an effective resolution passed,

for the winding-up of ANZ in Australia, the Notes

are redeemable for the Face Value in accordance

with this clause 9.1.

(b) In a winding-up of ANZ in Australia, a Note confers

upon the Holder, subject to clauses 4.8 and 6.13,

the right to payment in cash of the Face Value on a

subordinated basis in accordance with clause 9.1(c),

but no further or other claim on ANZ in the winding-

up of ANZ in Australia, including with respect to any

unpaid Distribution.

(c) Holders will rank for payment of the Face Value in

a winding-up of ANZ in Australia:

(i) in priority to ANZ Ordinary Shares;

(ii) equally among themselves and with all Equal

Ranking Instruments with respect to priority of

payment in a winding-up; and

(iii) junior to the claims of all Senior Creditors

with respect to priority of payment in a

winding-up in that:

(A) all claims of Senior Creditors must be paid

in full (including in respect of any entitlement

to interest under section 563B of the

Corporations Act) before the claims of the

Holders are paid; and

(B) until the Senior Creditors have been paid

in full, the Holders must not claim in the

winding-up of ANZ 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,

so that the Holder receives, for each Note it holds,

an amount equal to the amount it would have

received if, in the winding-up of ANZ, it had held

an issued and fully paid Preference Share.

9.2 No charge

Nothing in clause 9.1 or clause 9.3 shall be taken to:

(a) create a charge or security interest on or over any

right of the Holder; or

(b) require the consent of any Senior Creditor to any

amendment of these Note Terms made in accordance

with clause 14.

9.3 Agreements of Holders as to subordination

Each Holder irrevocably agrees:

(a) that clause 9.1 is a debt subordination for the

purposes of section 563C of the Corporations Act;

(b) that it does not have, and waives to the maximum

extent permitted by law, any entitlement to interest

under section 563B of the Corporations Act to the

extent that a holder of a Preference Share would not

be entitled to such interest;

(c) not to exercise any voting or other rights as a creditor

in the winding-up of ANZ in any jurisdiction:

(i) until after all Senior Creditors have been

paid in full; or

(ii) otherwise in a manner inconsistent with the

subordination contemplated by clause 9.1;

(d) that it must pay or deliver to the liquidator any

amount or asset received on account of its claim

in the winding-up of ANZ in respect of a Note in

excess of its entitlement under clause 9.1; and

(e) that the debt subordination effected by clause 9.1

is not affected by any act or omission of ANZ or a

Senior Creditor which might otherwise affect it at

law or in equity.

9.4 Calculations and rounding of payments

Unless otherwise specified in these Note Terms:

(a) all calculations of amounts payable in respect of a

Note will be rounded to four decimal places; and

(b) for the purposes of making payment to a Holder in

respect of the Holder’s aggregate holding of Notes,

any fraction of a cent will be disregarded.

Notes are unsecured.

9.7 Shortfall on winding-up

If, upon a return of capital on a winding-up of ANZ, there

are insufficient funds to pay in full the Face Value and the

ANZ ranking equally with Notes on a winding-up of ANZ,

Holders and the holders of any such other instruments

will share in any distribution of assets of ANZ in proportion

to the amounts to which they are entitled respectively.

9.8 No other claim

Notes do not confer on the Holders any claim on ANZ

in a winding-up beyond payment of the Face Value.

issue of the Ordinary Shares.

9.11 No other rights

(a) Notes do not confer any claim on ANZ, ANZ Holdings

or any other member of the ANZ Group except

as set out in these Note Terms.

(b) Notes do not confer on Holders any right to subscribe

for new securities in ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other

member of the ANZ Group (other than on a

Conversion) or to participate in any bonus issues of

securities of ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other member

of the ANZ Group.

(c) Nothing in these Note Terms prevents ANZ or ANZ

Holdings from:

(i) issuing securities of any kind (whether ranking

equally with, in priority to or junior to or having

different rights from the Notes);

(ii) except as provided in clause 3.7, redeeming,

buying back, converting, returning capital on or

individual acknowledgement to the relevant Holder of the

indebtedness to, and obligations of, ANZ and ANZ

without having to join any other Holder or any

predecessor in title of a Holder.

10 VOTING AND OTHER RIGHTS

the Meeting Provisions. A meeting may consider any

matter affecting the interests of Holders, including any

amendment to these Note Terms proposed by ANZ in

meeting of members of ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other

10.3 No right to apply for the winding-up

Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that a Holder has

no right to apply for ANZ, ANZ Holdings or any other

member of the ANZ Group to be wound up, or placed in

administration, or to cause a receiver, or a receiver and

jurisdiction merely on the grounds that ANZ does not pay

a Distribution when scheduled in respect of Notes.

10.4 No events of default

13.1 Payments to Holders on the Record Date

Distributions are only payable on a Distribution Payment

Date to those persons registered as Holders on the Record

Date for that Distribution payment.

13.2 Manner of payment to Holders

Payments will be made by ANZ in its absolute

discretion by:

(a) crediting on the relevant payment date the amount

due to an Australian dollar bank account maintained

in Australia with a financial institution (excluding credit

card accounts), notified by the Holder to the Registry

by close of business on the Record Date in respect of

that payment; or

(b) at ANZ’s option if no such account is notified, by

sending a cheque through the post at the Holder’s

risk directed to:

(i) the address of the Holder (or in the case of a jointly

held Note, the address of the joint Holder named

first in the Register); or

(ii) to any other address the Holder (or in the case

of a jointly held Note, all the joint Holders) directs

in writing.

A cheque sent through the post on or before the date

for payment is taken to have been received on the

payment date.

13.3 Uncompleted payments

If:

(a) a Holder has not notified the Registry of an Australian

dollar bank account maintained with a financial

institution (excluding credit card accounts) to which

payments in respect of the Notes may be credited; or

(b) the transfer of any amount for payment to the credit

of the nominated account does not complete for any

reason, the amount of the uncompleted payment will

be held in a special purpose account maintained by

ANZ or the Registry until:

(i) the Holder nominates a suitable Australian dollar

account maintained in Australia with a financial

institution to which the payment may be credited

or ANZ elects to pay the amount by cheque;

(ii) ANZ determines as permitted by clause 13.4 to

refuse any claim in respect of that amount in

which case ANZ may treat that amount as its

own (subject to clause 13.3(b)(iii)); or

(iii) ANZ is entitled or obliged to deal with the

amount in accordance with the law relating

to unclaimed moneys.

Where this clause 13.3 applies the amount payable

in respect of the Notes shall be treated as having been

paid on the date scheduled for payment. A Holder is

not entitled to any interest in respect of the account

in which uncompleted payments are held or in respect

of any delay in payment.

13.4 Time limit on claims

ANZ is entitled to refuse any claim against it for a payment

under a Note where the claim is made more than 10 years

(in the case of Face Value) or 5 years (in the case of

Distributions and other amounts) from the date on

which payment first became due.

13.5 Determination and calculation final

Except where there is fraud or a manifest error, any

determination or calculation which ANZ makes in

accordance with these Note Terms is final and binds

ANZ, the Registry and each Holder.

13.6 Payment to joint Holders

A payment to any one of joint Holders will discharge

ANZ’s liability in respect of that payment.

13.7 Payment on Business Days

If a payment is to be made to an account on a Business

Day on which banks are not open for business in the

place the account is located, payment will be made

on the next day on which banks are open for business

in that place, and no additional interest is payable in

respect of that delay in payment. Nothing in this clause

applies to any payment referred to in clause 6.1(c).

13.8 No interest accrues

No interest accrues on any unpaid amount in respect

of any Note.

13.9 Payments subject to law

All payments are subject to applicable law.

13.10 Taxation deductions and withholdings

ANZ, ANZ Holdings or the Purchaser, as applicable, may

make any deduction or withholding from any amount

payable in respect of the Notes (or upon or with respect

to the issue of any Ordinary Shares upon a Conversion), as

required by law or any agreement with a governmental

authority. If any such deduction or withholding has been

paid to the relevant governmental authority and the

balance paid (or, in the case of a Conversion, Ordinary

Shares issued) to the relevant Holder, then the full amount

payable (or, in the case of a Conversion, the Conversion

Number of Ordinary Shares) to such Holder shall be

deemed to have been duly paid and satisfied (or, in the

case of a Conversion, issued) by ANZ, ANZ Holdings or the

Purchaser, as applicable.

If any withholding or deduction arises, ANZ, ANZ Holdings

or the Purchaser, as applicable, will not be required to pay

any further amounts or issue any further Ordinary Shares

on account of such withholding or deduction or

otherwise reimburse or compensate, or make any

payment to, a Holder or a beneficial owner of Notes for or

in respect of any such withholding or deduction.

will be required to pay any further amounts or issue any

(a) in the case where the Approved Successor is an

Approved NOHC substituted only in respect of the

Conversion of Notes in accordance with clause 11.1(a)

give an Approved Successor Notice which amends the

definition of “Conversion” in clause 6 such that, unless

APRA otherwise agrees, on the date Notes are to be

Converted:

(i) each Note that is being Converted will be

automatically transferred by each Holder free

from Encumbrance to the Approved NOHC (or

another member of the ANZ Group which is a

holding company of ANZ) (the “Transferee”) on

the date the Conversion is to occur;

(ii) each Holder (or nominee where clause 6.10

applies) will be issued a number of Approved

NOHC Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion

Number; and

(iii) as between ANZ and the Transferee, each Note

held by the Transferee as a result of the transfer

will be automatically Converted into ANZ Ordinary

Shares in a number and at a price such that the

issued ordinary share capital of ANZ held by the

Transferee (or a wholly owned subsidiary of the

Transferee) increases by the amount by which the

issued ordinary share capital of the Approved

NOHC increases on Conversion;

(b) in the case where the Approved Successor has

assumed obligations of ANZ in accordance with clause

11.1(b) appoint a trustee for Holders and reconstitute

the Notes under a trust deed compliant with Chapter

2L of the Corporations Act (unless not required to do

so by applicable law) and enter into such other

documents or do any other things as are in ANZ’s

reasonable opinion necessary or appropriate to effect

the substitution consistent with the requirements of

APRA in relation to Additional Tier 1 Capital and

instruments eligible to fund Additional Tier 1 Capital;

(c) in each case, give an Approved Successor Notice

which makes such other amendments as are in ANZ’s

reasonable opinion necessary or appropriate to effect

the substitution consistent with the requirements of

No amendment to these Note Terms is permitted without

APRA’s prior written approval if such amendment may

applies regardless of whether such amendment would

require Holder approval.

In this clause 14, amend includes modify, cancel, alter or

add to, and amendment has a corresponding meaning.
