Today Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522) (“ANZBGL”)

will issue US$1,000,000,000 fixed rate subordinated notes due September 2034 pursuant to

its US$25,000,000,000 Medium-Term Notes Program (the “Subordinated Notes”).

The Subordinated Notes convert into fully paid ordinary shares of ANZ Group Holdings Limited

(ABN 16 659 510 791) (“ANZGHL”) (“ANZGHL Ordinary Shares”) where the Australian

Prudential Regulation Authority (“APRA”) determines this to be necessary on the grounds

that ANZBGL would otherwise become non-viable.

This notice is given jointly by ANZBGL and ANZGHL. It is a cleansing notice prepared for the

purposes of section 708A(12H)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) (“Corporations

Act”) (as inserted by ASIC Corporations (Regulatory Capital Securities) Instrument 2016/71)

to enable ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or Approved NOHC

Pricing Supplement for the Subordinated Notes dated 11 March 2024; and

3. in Schedule 3, the description of the rights and liabilities attaching to ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares.

Words and expressions defined in Schedule 1 have the same meanings in the remainder of

this cleansing notice unless the contrary intention appears.

The issue of Subordinated Notes by ANZBGL will not have a material impact on ANZBGL’s or

ANZGHL’s financial position. If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and ANZGHL issues

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares, the impact of Conversion on ANZGHL would be to increase

yearly and half yearly financial statements and to report on its operations during the relevant

accounting period, and to obtain an audit or review report from its auditor.

Copies of documents lodged with ASIC may be obtained from or inspected at an ASIC office.

ANZGHL must ensure that the ASX is continuously notified of information about specific

events and matters as they arise for the purposes of the ASX making the information available

to the Australian securities market. In this regard, ANZGHL has an obligation under the ASX

Listing Rules (subject to certain exceptions) to notify the ASX immediately of any information

concerning it of which it becomes aware, which a reasonable person would expect to have a

material effect on the price or value of its quoted securities.

who requests a copy before the Subordinated Notes are issued:

securities with the Index Maturity specified on the face of this Security, as published in the

(or any successor treaty), as it may be amended from time to time.

References in this Security to a particular currency other than U.S. dollars

and euros shall mean, as of any time, the coin or currency that is then legal tender for the

payment of public and private debts in the country issuing such currency on the Issue Date.

If the Specified Currency for any payment on this Security is other than U.S.

as Exchange Rate Agent to act as such agent with respect to this Security, but the Issuer

may, in its sole discretion, appoint any other institution (including any affiliate of the

Issuer) to serve as such agent from time to time. The Issuer will give the Fiscal Agent

prompt written notice of any change in any such appointment. Insofar as this Security

provides for any such agent to obtain rates, quotes or other data from a bank, dealer or other

institution for use in making any determination hereunder, such agent may do so from any

institution or institutions of the kind contemplated hereby notwithstanding that any one or

more of such institutions are any such agent, affiliates of any such agent or affiliates of the

Issuer.

All determinations made by the Exchange Rate Agent may be made by such

agent in its sole discretion and, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

4872-1402-1036v.6

and binding on the holder of this Security and the Issuer. The Exchange Rate Agent shall

not have any liability therefor.

4 The Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an

office or agency where Securities of this series may be surrendered for registration

of transfer or exchange. The Issuer has initially appointed the corporate trust office

of the Fiscal Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, as its

agent (a “Transfer Agent”) for such purpose and has agreed to cause to be kept at

such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may

prescribe, the Issuer will provide for the registration of Securities and registration

of transfers of Securities. The Issuer reserves the right to vary or terminate the

appointment of the Fiscal Agent as security registrar or of any Transfer Agent or to

appoint additional or other registrars or Transfer Agents or to approve any change

in the office through which any security registrar or any Transfer Agent acts,

provided that there will at all times be a security registrar in the Borough of

Manhattan, The City of New York.

The transfer of this Security is registrable on the aforementioned register

upon surrender of this Security at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent or any

Transfer Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in

form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the registered holder

thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Security for

registration of transfer, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and

deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities

of like tenor and form, dated the date of authentication thereof, of an authorized

denomination or authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount.

At the option of the registered holder upon request confirmed in writing,

Securities may be exchanged for Securities of an authorized denomination or authorized

denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate Principal Amount upon surrender

of the Securities to be exchanged at the office of any Transfer Agent or at the corporate

trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange,

the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities

which the registered holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of

transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Transfer Agent or the Fiscal Agent, as the

case may be, being satisfied with the documents of title and identity of the person making

the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may from time to time

agree with the Transfer Agents and the Fiscal Agent.

In the event of a redemption of the Securities in part, the Issuer shall not be

required (i) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning

at the opening of business 15 calendar days before, and continuing until, the date notice is

given identifying the Securities to be redeemed, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange

any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption.


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 17 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of

Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled

to the same benefits, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or

exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but

the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental

charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial

redemption of a Security not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the

Issuer, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person

in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or

not this Security be overdue, and neither the Issuer nor the Fiscal Agent or any such agent

shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

5 The Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its principal corporate trust office in the

Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on or prior to each Interest Payment

Date, any date on which this Security is to be redeemed in accordance with its terms

(each a “Redemption Date”) and the maturity date of this Security, in such amounts

sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the

purpose) to pay the interest on, the redemption price of and accrued interest (if the

Redemption Date is not an Interest Payment Date) on, and the principal of, the

Securities due and payable on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or

maturity date, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so

paid to it to the payment of such interest, redemption price and principal in

accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement and this Security.

Any monies paid by the Issuer to a Paying Agent for the payment of the

principal of or interest on any Securities and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years

after such principal or interest shall have become due and payable (whether at maturity,

upon call for redemption or otherwise) shall then be repaid (without interest) to the Issuer,

and upon such repayment all liability of the Fiscal Agent with respect thereto shall cease,

without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer may have to pay the

principal of and interest on this Security as the same shall become due.

6 (a) All payments of, or in respect of, principal of and interest on this Security

will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any taxes,

assessments or other governmental charges (“Relevant Tax”) imposed or levied by

or on behalf of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority in or of

Australia and/or where the Issuer is acting through a branch, the jurisdiction in

which the branch is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority in or of

that jurisdiction (each a “Relevant Jurisdiction”) unless the withholding or

deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will pay such additional

amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any interest on, this Security

(“Additional Amounts”) as will result (after deduction of such taxes, duties,


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 18 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

assessments or governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments

or governmental charges payable in respect of such Additional Amounts) in the

payment to the holder of this Security of the amounts which would have been

payable in respect of this Security had no such withholding or deduction been

required, except that no Additional Amounts shall be payable:

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the

holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Security having some connection

(whether present, past or future) with a Relevant Jurisdiction, other than

mere receipt of such payment or being a holder, or the beneficial owner, of

this Security;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the

holder, or the beneficial owner, of this Security not complying with any

statutory requirements or not having made a declaration of non-residence

in, or lack of connection with, a Relevant Jurisdiction or any similar claim

for exemption (including supplying an appropriate tax file number or

Australian Business Number), if the Issuer, or any other agent of the Issuer,

has provided a holder, or beneficial owner, of this Security with at least

60 days’ prior written notice of an opportunity to comply with such

statutory requirements or make a declaration or claim;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of a holder,

or beneficial owner, of this Security having presented for payment more

than 30 days after the date on which the payment in respect of this Security

first became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly

provided for, whichever occurs later;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of a holder

of this Security being an Offshore Associate of the Issuer (acting other than

in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds manager

or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the

Corporations Act 2001 of Australia). “Offshore Associate” means an

associate (as defined in section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act

1936 of Australia and successor legislation) of the Issuer that is either a

non-resident of Australia which does not acquire this Security in carrying

on a business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia or,

alternatively, a resident of Australia that acquires this Security in carrying

on business at or through a permanent establishment outside of Australia;

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied as a result of the

holder being party to or participating in a scheme which had the dominant

purpose of avoiding tax, being a scheme which the Issuer was neither a

party to nor participated in;


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 19 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of a holder,

or the beneficial owner, of this Security having presented this Security for

payment in a Relevant Jurisdiction, unless this Security could not have been

presented for payment elsewhere; or

any combination of the above.

In addition, any amounts to be paid on this Security will be paid and any Ordinary

Shares to be issued to a holder on Conversion of a Security will be issued to the

holder, net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official

interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of

the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant

to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the

implementation of such Sections of the Code (a “FATCA Withholding”), and no

Additional Amounts will be required to be paid and no additional Ordinary Shares

will be required to be issued on account of any such deduction or withholding.

(b) No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment

of, or in respect of, the principal of or interest on, this Security to any such holder who is a

fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the

extent such payment would, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any

political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, be treated as being derived or

received for tax purposes by a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a

member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to

such Additional Amounts had it been the holder of this Security.

(c) Whenever in this Security there is mentioned, in any context, any

payment of, or in respect of, the principal of or interest on, this Security, such mention shall

be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in

Section 6(a) to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be

payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such Section.

(d) At least 10 days prior to each date on which any payment under or

with respect to this Security is due and payable, if the Issuer will be obligated to pay

Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal

Agent and the Paying Agent an Officer’s Certificate (as hereinafter defined) stating the fact

that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth

such other information necessary to enable the Fiscal Agent and such Paying Agent to pay

such Additional Amounts to the holders on the payment date; provided, however, that if

10 days prior to each date on which any such payment is due and payable the amount of

such payment has not yet been determined, the Issuer shall notify the Fiscal Agent of such

amount promptly after such amount has been determined.

4872-1402-1036v.6

7 (a) Prior to the commencement of a Winding Up of the Issuer (as hereinafter

defined) (i) the obligations of the Issuer to make any payment of the principal of

and interest on or any other amounts (including Additional Amounts) payable in

respect of this Security shall be conditional upon the Issuer being Solvent (as

hereinafter defined) at the time the obligation to make such payment falls due and

(ii) no payment of principal, interest, Additional Amounts or any other amount

payable in respect of this Security shall be made in respect of this Security except

to the extent that the Issuer may make any such payment and still be Solvent

immediately thereafter.

For the purposes of this Section 7, the Issuer shall be considered to be

“Solvent” if (A) the Issuer is able to pay all its debts as and when they become due and

payable and (B) the Issuer's assets exceed its liabilities, in each case determined on an

unconsolidated stand-alone basis. A certificate as to whether the Issuer is Solvent signed

by two authorized officers of the Issuer, an auditor of the Issuer or, if the Issuer is being

wound up, its liquidator, shall be conclusive evidence of the information contained therein

in the absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error. Neither the Fiscal Agent nor

any Paying Agent is obliged to obtain any such certificate prior to any due date for payment

of any amount in respect of this Security or at any other time. In the absence of such a

certificate, the Fiscal Agent, each Paying Agent and the holder of this Security shall be

entitled to assume (unless the contrary is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent and will be

Solvent immediately after any payment referred to above is made.

(b) On the Winding-Up of the Issuer, the rights and claims of the holder

of this Security against the Issuer to recover any sums payable in respect of this Security

shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the obligations of the Issuer to Other

Creditors (as hereinafter defined), to the extent that all obligations of the Issuer to Other

Creditors shall be entitled to be paid in full prior to any payment of the principal of or

interest on or any other amounts (including Additional Amounts) payable in respect of this

Security and, subject to Section 8A, shall rank pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities

and ahead of Junior Ranking Securities.

(c) If there is a Winding Up in respect of the Issuer and, notwithstanding

paragraph (b) above, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent or the holder of this Security

receives any payment or distribution of the assets of the Issuer of any kind or character,

whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which

may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the

Issuer being subordinated to the payment of this Security, before all the claims of Other

Creditors are paid in full or payment thereof is duly provided for, and if such fact shall, at

or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to the Fiscal

Agent, the Paying Agent or, as the case may be, the holder of this Security, then and in

such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the

trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other

person making payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer for application to the payment


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 21 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

of all claims of the Other Creditors remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all

such claims in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for

the account of the Other Creditors.

(d) Neither the Issuer nor a holder of this Security has any contractual

right to set off any sum at any time due and payable to a holder or the Issuer (as applicable)

under or in relation to this Security against amounts owing by the holder to the Issuer or

by the Issuer to the holder (as applicable).

(e) On a Winding Up of the Issuer, the holder of this Security shall only

be entitled to prove for any sums payable in respect of this Security as a debt which is

subject to and contingent upon prior payment in full of the obligations of the Issuer to the

Other Creditors, and the holder of this Security waives to the fullest extent permitted by

law any right to prove in the Winding Up as a creditor of the Issuer ranking for payment in

any other manner.

(f) The provisions of this Section shall not affect or prejudice the

payment of any amounts by the Issuer in respect of costs, charges, expenses, liabilities,

indemnities or remuneration of the Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent pursuant to the Fiscal

Agency Agreement or the rights and remedies of the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent in

respect thereof.

(g) For the purposes of this Section 7, “Other Creditors” means all

present and future creditors of the Issuer (including but not limited to depositors of the

Issuer) whose claims (i) would be entitled to be admitted in the Winding Up of the Issuer

and (ii) are not in respect of Equal Ranking Securities or Junior Ranking Securities.

(h) For the purposes of this Section 7 and Section 9, “Winding Up” shall

mean any procedure whereby the Issuer may be wound-up, dissolved, liquidated or cease

to exist as a body corporate whether brought or instigated by a holder of this Security or

any other person and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, but shall exclude

any Winding Up under or in connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction

not involving our bankruptcy or insolvency where the obligations of the Issuer are assumed

by a successor to which all, or substantially all, of the property, assets and undertaking of

the Issuer are transferred or where an arrangement with similar effect not involving a

bankruptcy or insolvency is implemented.

(i) For the purposes of this Section 7, “Equal Ranking Securities”

means any present or future instrument that ranks in a Winding Up of the Issuer as the most

junior claim in the Winding Up of the Issuer ranking senior to Junior Ranking Securities,

and includes any instruments issued as Relevant Tier 2 Securities (as defined in Section

8A.4).

(j) For the purposes of this Section 7, “Junior Ranking Securities”

means any present or future instrument (i) issued as Tier 1 Capital and (ii) that by its terms

is, or is expressed to be, subordinated in a Winding Up of the Issuer to the claims of holders

of the Securities of this series and other Equal Ranking Securities.

(k) Any amount not paid due to Section 7(a) or Section 9(d), remains a

debt owing to the holder of this Security by the Issuer until it is paid and will be payable

on the first date on which payment can be made in compliance with the relevant Section.

8 (a) If specified on the face of this Security and subject to the prior written

approval of Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (“APRA”) having been

obtained, the Securities of this series may be redeemed, as a whole but not in part,

at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Principal

Amount of the Securities to be redeemed together with interest accrued to the date

fixed for redemption, if a Regulatory Event occurs, provided, however, that (1) the

Issuer shall deliver to the holder of this Security an opinion of counsel confirming

that the conditions that must be satisfied for such redemption have occurred and (2)

the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem this Security unless the Security is

replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory Capital of the same or better

quality and the replacement of the Security is done under conditions that are

sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied that the Issuer’s

capital position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if applicable, Level 3 (each as defined in

Section 8A.4 below) is well above its minimum capital requirements after the

Issuer elects to redeem this Security. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice

of redemption of Securities pursuant to this subsection (a), the Issuer will deliver

to the Fiscal Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect

such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing

that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem the Securities

have occurred.

For the purposes of this Security, “Regulatory Event” shall mean the receipt by the

directors of the Issuer of (x) an opinion from a reputable legal counsel that as a result of

any amendment to, clarification of or change (including any announcement of a change

that has been or will be introduced) in, any law or regulation in any Relevant Jurisdiction,

or any official administrative pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or

applying such laws or regulations, which amendment, clarification or change is effective,

or pronouncement, action or decision is announced, after the Issue Date or (y) an official

written statement from APRA that, in each case, the Issuer is not or will not be entitled to

treat all Securities of a series as Tier 2 Capital (as defined in Section 8A.4), provided that,

in each case, on the Issue Date, the Issuer did not expect that matters giving rise to the

Regulatory Event would occur.

For the purposes of this Security, “Regulatory Capital” shall mean a Tier 1 Capital Security

or a Tier 2 Capital Security.

(b) If specified on the face of this Security and subject to the prior

written approval of APRA having been obtained, the Securities of this series may be

redeemed, as a whole but not in part, at the option of the Issuer, at a redemption price equal

to 100% of the Principal Amount of the Securities to be redeemed together with interest

accrued to the date fixed for redemption, if, as a result of any amendment to, or change in,

the laws or regulations of a Relevant Jurisdiction, or any amendment to or change in an

official interpretation or application of such laws or regulations, which amendment or

change is effective after the Issue Date and which amendment or change the Issuer did not

expect as of the Issue Date, the Issuer will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts

(as provided in Section 6(a) hereof), and such obligation cannot be avoided within 60 days

of such tax event by the Issuer by filing a form, making an election or taking some

reasonable measure that in the Issuer’s sole judgment will not be adverse to the Issuer and

will involve no material cost to the Issuer, provided, however, that (1) the Issuer shall

deliver to the holder of this Security an opinion of counsel confirming that the conditions

that must be satisfied for such redemption have occurred; and (2) the Issuer will not be

permitted to redeem this Security unless the Security is replaced concurrently or

beforehand with Regulatory Capital (as defined above) of the same or better quality and

the replacement of the Security is done under conditions that are sustainable for the Issuer’s

income capacity or APRA is satisfied that the Issuer’s capital position at Level 1, Level 2

and, if applicable, Level 3 is well above its minimum capital requirements after the Issuer

elects to redeem this Security. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice of redemption

of Securities pursuant to this subsection (b), the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an

Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting

forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the

right of the Issuer to so redeem the Securities have occurred.

(c) If this Section is specified as applicable on the face hereof, this

Security is subject to redemption, on the Optional Redemption Date, as a whole but not in

part, at the option of the Issuer (but subject to the prior written approval of APRA having

been obtained and provided that the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem this Security

unless the Security is replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory Capital of the

same or better quality and the replacement of the Security is done under conditions that are

sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied that the Issuer’s capital

position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if applicable, Level 3 is well above its minimum capital

requirements after the Issuer elects to redeem this Security), at the Redemption Price

specified on the face hereof (expressed as a percentage of the Principal Amount of this

Security), together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest (unless such

date is an Interest Payment Date) to, but excluding, the Optional Redemption Date (but

interest installments due on or prior to the Optional Redemption Date will be payable to

the holder of record of this Security at the close of business on the relevant record dates).

(d) In the case of any partial redemption of Securities, the Issuer will

give the holder written notice of the Principal Amount of the Securities to be redeemed not


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 24 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date unless otherwise

specified on the face hereof for the Outstanding Securities of a like tenor not previously

called for redemption, by such method as the Fiscal Agent shall deem fair and appropriate

and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions equal to at least the

minimum authorized denomination of such Securities.

(e) Notices to redeem Securities shall be given in writing and given by

first-class mail (postage prepaid), by overnight courier or by facsimile or other electronic

means of transmission (including e-mail) to each holder of Securities at his or her address

as it appears in the register hereinabove referred to. Such notice will be given once not

more than 60 days nor less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. In case it

shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, by overnight courier or by facsimile or

other electronic means of transmission, then such notification in lieu thereof as shall be

made by the Issuer or by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of and at the instruction of the Issuer

shall constitute sufficient provision of such notice, if such notification shall, so far as may

be practicable, approximate the terms and conditions of the notice in lieu of which it is

given. Neither the failure to give notice nor any defect in any notice given to any particular

holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of any notice with respect to that holder or

any other holders. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date that such

notice is given in the manner herein provided. Notices to redeem Securities shall specify

the date fixed for redemption, the applicable redemption price, the place or places of

payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Securities to

be redeemed (or portion thereof in the case of a partial redemption), that interest accrued

to the date fixed for redemption (unless such date is an Interest Payment Date) will be paid

as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon will cease to

accrue. If the redemption is pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) hereof, such notice

shall also state that the conditions precedent to such redemption have occurred and state

that the Issuer has elected to exercise its option to redeem the Securities pursuant to

Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), as the case may be.

Notwithstanding anything in this Security to the contrary, where this

Security provides for notice of any event to a holder of a Global Security, such notice shall

be sufficiently given if given in writing to the depositary for such Security (or its designee),

not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed

for the giving of such notice.

(f) Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be

surrendered with, if the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent so requires, due endorsement by, or a

written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent duly

executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and the Issuer

shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver to the registered holder

of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of like form and tenor,

of any aggregate Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion

of the principal of the Registered Security so surrendered.

4872-1402-1036v.6

(g) The Issuer and any of its Related Entities (as defined in

Section 8A.4) may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, at any time

purchase this Security in the open market or otherwise, provided that the Issuer may not

purchase, or procure that any of its Related Entities purchase, any Security without the

prior written consent of APRA.

Holders of this Security should not expect that APRA’s approval will be

given for any redemption or purchase of this Security.

8A.1 A “Non-Viability Trigger Event” means the earlier of:

(a) the issuance to the Issuer of a written determination from APRA that conversion or

write-off of Relevant Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers

that the Issuer would become non-viable; or

(b) a determination by APRA, notified to the Issuer in writing, that without a public

sector injection of capital, or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-

viable,

each such determination being a “Non-Viability Determination”.

8A.2 OPTION 1: CONVERSION WITH A FALL BACK TO WRITE-OFF

(a) If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to subsection (e) of this

Section 8A.2, such Principal Amount of the Securities will immediately

Convert as is required by the Non-Viability Determination provided that:

(A) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Section

8A.1(a) and such Non-Viability Determination does not require all

Relevant Securities to be converted into Ordinary Shares or written-

off, such Principal Amount of the Securities shall Convert as is

sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with subsection

(a)(ii) of this Section 8A.2) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable

without further conversion or write-off; and

(B) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under

Section 8A.1(b), all the Principal Amount of the Securities will

immediately Convert;

the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Securities which must be

Converted in accordance with subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.2, on

the following basis:


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 26 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

(A) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1

Securities; and

(B) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares or write-off of all

Relevant Tier 1 Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the

requirements of subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.2 (and

provided that as a result of the conversion or write-off of Relevant

Tier 1 Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-Viability

Determination), Convert a Principal Amount of Securities and

convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off a number or principal

amount of other Relevant Tier 2 Securities on an approximately

pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of the

Issuer, fair and reasonable (subject to such adjustment as the Issuer

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 the authorized denominations of the Principal Amount

of any Securities or the number or principal amount of other

Relevant Tier 2 Securities remaining on issue, and the need to effect

the conversion immediately) and, for the purposes of the foregoing,

where the specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant

Tier 2 Securities is not the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities,

the Issuer may treat them as if converted into a single currency of

the Issuer’s choice at such rate of exchange as the Issuer in good

faith considers reasonable,

provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate

Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities;

on the Trigger Event Date, the Issuer shall determine the Securities or

portions thereof as to which the Conversion is to take effect and in making

that determination may make any decisions with respect to the identity of

the holders of Securities at that time as may be necessary or desirable to

ensure Conversion occurs in an orderly manner, including disregarding any

transfers of Securities that have not been settled or registered at that time,

provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate

Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities;

the Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to

subsection (a)(iii) of this Section 8A.2 (a “Trigger Event Notice”) as soon

as practicable to the Fiscal Agent and the holders of Securities, which must

specify:

(A) the Trigger Event Date;


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 27 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

(B) the Principal Amount of the Securities Converted; and

(C) the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant

Securities converted or written-off;

none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion

of Securities as required by subsection (a)(i) of this Section 8A.2:

(A) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

(B) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;

(C) any failure or delay by a holder of a Security or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Section 8A.2(h);

(D) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount

of Securities to be Converted in accordance with

Section 8A.2(a)(ii)(B) or 8A.2(a)(iii); and

(E) any failure or delay in quotation of Ordinary Shares to be issued on

Conversion; and

on and from the Trigger Event Date, subject to Sections 8A.2(e) and

8A.2(f)(iii)(C), the Issuer and ANZGHL shall treat the holder of any

Security or portion thereof 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 and the

issuance of such Ordinary Shares.

(b) Where a Principal Amount of Securities is required to be Converted under this

Section 8A.2, a holder of Securities or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion

wishing to receive Ordinary Shares must, no later than the Trigger Event Date (or,

in the case where Section 8A.2(d)(vii) applies, within 30 days of the date on which

Ordinary Shares are issued upon such Conversion), have provided to the Issuer:

its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name

it directs the Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title

and receipt of any certificate or holding statement in respect of any

Ordinary Shares;

the security account details of such holder of Securities in CHESS (being

the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System of Australia operated by

the ASX or its affiliates or successors) or such other account to which the

Ordinary Shares may be credited; and


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 28 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the

purposes of enabling ANZGHL to issue the Conversion Number of

Ordinary Shares to the holder of Securities,

and the Issuer has no duty to seek or obtain such information.

(c) Subject to Section 8A.2(d) and Section 8A.2(e), if, in respect of a Conversion

of Securities, ANZGHL fails to issue, on the Trigger Event Date, the

Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares in respect of the relevant Principal

Amount of such Securities to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the

relevant holder of Securities on the Trigger Event Date or any other nominee

where Section 8A.2(d) applies, the Principal Amount of such Securities which

would otherwise be subject to Conversion shall remain on issue and outstanding

until:

the Ordinary Shares are issued to, or in accordance with the instructions

of, the holder of such Securities; or

such Securities are Written-Off in accordance with the terms hereof;

provided, however, that the sole right of the holder of Securities in respect of

Securities or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion is its right to be

issued Ordinary Shares upon Conversion (subject to its compliance with

Section 8A.2(b) or to receive the proceeds from their sale pursuant to Section

8A.2(d), as applicable) and the remedy of such holder in respect of ANZGHL’s

failure to issue the Ordinary Shares is limited (subject always to Section

8A.2(e)) to seeking an order for specific performance of ANZGHL’s obligation

to issue the Ordinary Shares to the Holder or where Section 8A.2(d) applies to

the nominee and to receive such proceeds of sale, in each case, in accordance

with the terms of the Securities. This Section 8A.2(c) does not affect the

obligation of ANZGHL to issue the Ordinary Shares when required in

accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) If, in respect of a Security and a holder of that Security, the Security or portion

thereof is required to be Converted and:

the holder of the Security has notified the Issuer that it does not wish to

receive Ordinary Shares as a result of the Conversion (whether entirely or

to the extent specified in the notice), which notice may be given at any time

prior to the Trigger Event Date;

the Securities are held by a registered holder of the Security whose address

in the register is a place outside Australia or who the Issuer otherwise

believes may not be a resident of Australia (a “Foreign Holder”);


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 29 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

the holder of that Security is a Clearing System Holder;

for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the holder of the Security)

the Issuer has not received the information required by subsection (b) of

this Section 8A.2 prior to the Trigger Event Date and the lack of such

information would prevent ANZGHL from issuing the Ordinary Shares to

the holder of the Security on the Trigger Event Date; or

a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the Ordinary

Shares issued on the Conversion,

then, on the Trigger Event Date:

where subsection (d)(i), (d)(ii) or (d)(v) of this Section 8A.2 applies,

ANZGHL shall issue the Ordinary Shares to the holder of the Security only

to the extent (if at all) that:

(A) where subsection (d)(i) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the holder of

the Security has notified the Issuer that it wishes to receive them;

(B) where subsection (d)(ii) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the Issuer is

satisfied that the laws of both the Commonwealth of Australia and

the Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue of

Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which the Issuer is

not bound to enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance

with conditions which the Issuer in its absolute discretion regards

as acceptable and not unduly onerous; and

(C) where subsection (d)(v) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the issue is net

of the FATCA Withholding;

and, to the extent ANZGHL is not obliged to issue Ordinary Shares to the

holder of the Security, ANZGHL will issue the balance of the Ordinary

Shares to the nominee in accordance with subsection (d)(vii);

otherwise, subject to applicable law, ANZGHL will issue the balance of

Ordinary Shares in respect of the holder of the Security to a competent

nominee (which may not be the Issuer or any of its Related Entities) and

will promptly notify such holder of the name of and contact information for

the nominee and the number of Ordinary Shares issued to the nominee on

its behalf and, subject to applicable law and:

(A) subject to subsection (d)(vii)(B) of this Section 8A.2, the nominee

will as soon as reasonably possible and no later than 35 days after


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

4872-1402-1036v.6

issue of the Ordinary Shares sell those Ordinary Shares and pay a

cash amount equal to the net proceeds received, after deducting any

applicable brokerage, stamp duty and other taxes and charges, to

the holder of the Security;

(B) where subsection (d)(iii) or (d)(iv) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the

nominee will hold such Ordinary Shares and will transfer Ordinary

Shares to such holder (or, where paragraph (d)(iii) applies, the

person for whom the Clearing System Holder holds the Security)

promptly after such person provides the nominee with the

information required to be provided by such holder under

Section 8A.2(b) (as if a reference in Section 8A.2(b) to the Issuer is

a reference to the nominee and a reference to the issue of Ordinary

Shares is a reference to the transfer of Ordinary Shares) but only

where such information is provided to the nominee within 30 days

of the date on which Ordinary Shares are issued to the nominee

upon Conversion of such Security and failing which the nominee

will sell the Ordinary Shares and pay the proceeds to such person

in accordance with subsection (d)(vii)(A) of this Section 8A.2; and

(C) where subsection (d)(v) of this Section 8A.2 applies, the nominee

shall deal with Ordinary Shares the subject of a FATCA

Withholding and any proceeds of their disposal in accordance with

FATCA;

nothing in this subsection (d) shall affect the Conversion of the Securities

of a holder who is not a person to which any of subsections (d)(i) to (d)(v)

(inclusive) of this Section 8A.2 applies; and

for the purpose of this Section 8A.2(d), none of the Issuer, ANZGHL nor

the nominee owes any obligations or duties to the 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.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8A.2, where Securities are

required to be Converted on the Trigger Event Date and Conversion of the relevant

Principal Amount of the Securities that are subject to Conversion has not been

effected within five Business Days after the relevant Trigger Event Date for any

reason (including an Inability Event):

the relevant Principal Amount of each Security which, but for this

subsection (e), would be Converted, will not be Converted and instead will

be Written-Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date; and


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 31 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

the Issuer shall notify the Fiscal Agent and the holders of the Securities as

promptly as practically possible that Conversion of the relevant Principal

Amount of the Securities has not occurred and that such Principal Amount

has been Written-Off.

(f) Each holder of Securities irrevocably:

consents to becoming a member of ANZGHL upon the Conversion of the

relevant Principal Amount of the Securities as required by this Section 8A.2

and agrees to be bound by the constitution of ANZGHL, in each case in

respect of the Ordinary Shares issued to such holder on Conversion;

acknowledges and agrees that it is obliged to accept Ordinary Shares upon

a Conversion of the Principal Amount of the Securities it holds

notwithstanding anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion of such

Principal Amount of Securities including:

(A) any change in the financial position of the Issuer or ANZGHL since

the issue of such Securities;

(B) any disruption to the market or potential market for the Ordinary

Shares or to capital markets generally; or

(C) any breach by the Issuer or ANZGHL of any obligation in

connection with such Securities;

acknowledges and agrees that where Section 8A.2(a) applies:

(A) there are no other conditions to a Non-Viability Trigger Event

occurring as and when provided in Section 8A.1;

(B) Conversion must occur immediately on the occurrence of a Non-

Viability Trigger Event and that may result in disruption or failures

in trading or dealings in the Securities;

(C) it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Conversion and

that the Security does not confer a right to vote at any meeting of

members of the Issuer or ANZGHL; and

(D) the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at the

time of issue, or at all;

acknowledges and agrees that where Section 8A.2(e) applies, no conditions

or events will affect the operation of that Section and such holder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under that Section and


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

- 32 -


4872-1402-1036v.6

has no claim against the Issuer or ANZGHL, arising in connection with the

application of that Section;

acknowledges and agrees that such holder has no right to request a

Conversion of any Principal Amount of any Securities or to determine

whether (or in what circumstances) the Principal Amount of Securities it

holds is Converted;

acknowledges and agrees that none of the following shall prevent, impede

or delay the Conversion or (where relevant) Write-Off of the Principal

Amount of Securities:

(A) any failure to or delay in the conversion or write-off of other

Relevant Securities;

(B) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice or other notice

required by this Section 8A.2;

(C) any failure or delay in quotation of the Ordinary Shares to be issued

on Conversion;

(D) any failure or delay by a holder of a Security or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Section 8A.2(h);

(E) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount

of Securities to be Converted in accordance with Section

8A.2(a)(ii)(B) or 8A.2(a)(iii); and

acknowledges and agrees that if, in respect of a Conversion, ANZGHL has

issued the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to the holders of

Securities but the Security or portion thereof has not been transferred free

from encumbrance to or as directed by ANZGHL, the Security or such

portion shall be Written-Off in accordance with Section 8A.2(g) without

prejudice to the issue of the Ordinary Shares.

(g) For the purposes of this Section 8A.2 “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of

a Security or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion and a Trigger

Event Date:

the Security or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion will

not be Converted on that date and will not be Converted or redeemed under

the terms hereof on any subsequent date; and

with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant

holder of the Security or portion thereof (including any right to receive any

payment thereunder including payments of principal and interest, both in

the future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation

to such Security or portion thereof are immediately and irrevocably

terminated and written-off; and

“Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.

(h) If any Security is to be Converted or Written-Off only in part:

(i) the Security shall be surrendered with, if the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent so

requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form

satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent duly executed by, the holder

thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing;

(ii) the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver

to the registered holder of such Security without service charge, a new

Security or Securities of this series of like form and tenor, of any aggregate

Principal Amount equal to and in exchange for the non-Converted or non-

Written-Off portion of the Principal Amount of the Security so surrendered;

and

(iii) ANZGHL will be taken to hold (as a result of the transfer in accordance

with Schedule A) a new Security with a principal amount equal to the

Converted or Written-Off portion (as applicable) of the Principal Amount

of the original Security, and on terms otherwise identical to the terms of

such Security (the “Affected Security”); and

(iv) the amount of interest payable in respect of that Security on each Interest

Payment Date falling after that Trigger Event Date will be reduced and

calculated on the Principal Amount of that Security as reduced on the date

of the Conversion or Write-Off.

(i) If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, the Issuer must perform the

obligations in respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by

the Issuer, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

(j) Each holder of Securities irrevocably authorizes the Issuer to sign any document or

transfer or do any other thing as may in the Issuer’s opinion be necessary or

desirable to effect any transfer of the Securities the subject of the Conversion.

8A.3 OPTION 2: WRITE-OFF

(a) If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

on the Trigger Event Date, such Principal Amount of the Securities will

immediately be Written-Off as is required by the Non-Viability

Determination provided that:

(A) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Section

8A.1(a) and such Non-Viability Determination does not require all

Relevant Securities to be converted into Ordinary Shares or written-

off, such Principal Amount of the Securities shall be immediately

Written-Off as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance

with subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 8A.3) to satisfy APRA that

the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off; and

(B) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Section

8A.1(b), all the Principal Amount of the Securities will immediately

be Written-Off;

the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Securities which must be

Written-Off in accordance with subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.3,

on the following basis:

(A) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1

Securities; and

(B) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares or write-off of all

Relevant Tier 1 Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the

requirements of subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section 8A.3 (and

provided that as a result of the conversion or write-off of Relevant

Tier 1 Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-Viability

Determination), Write-Off a Principal Amount of Securities and

convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off a number or principal

amount of other Relevant Tier 2 Securities on an approximately

pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of the

Issuer, fair and reasonable and, for the purposes of the foregoing,

where the specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant

Tier 2 Securities is not the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities,

the Issuer may treat them as if converted into a single currency of

the Issuer’s choice at such rate of exchange as the Issuer in good

faith considers reasonable,

Off of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities.

thereof as to which the Write-Off is to take effect and in making that determination

may make any decisions with respect to the identity of the holders of Securities at

that time as may be necessary or desirable to ensure Write-Off occurs in an orderly

manner, including disregarding any transfers of Securities that have not been settled

or registered at that time, provided that such determination does not impede or delay

the immediate Write-Off of the relevant Principal Amount of Securities.

(c) The Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to subsection (b) of this

Section 8A.3 (a “Trigger Event Notice”) as soon as practicable to the Fiscal Agent

and the holders of Securities, which must specify:

the Trigger Event Date;

the Principal Amount of the Securities Written-Off; and

the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant Securities

converted or written-off.

(d) None of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Write-Off of

Securities as required by subsection (a)(i) of this Section 8A.3:

any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;

any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Securities to be Written-Off in accordance with Section 8A.3(a)(ii)(B) or

8A.3(b); and

(iv) any failure or delay by a holder of a Security or any other party in complying

with the provisions of Section 8A.3(g).

(e) Each holder of Securities irrevocably:

(i) acknowledges and agrees that no conditions or events will affect the

operation of this Section and such holder of Securities will not have any

rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under this Section; and


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

interest both in the future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event

Date) in relation to such Security or portion thereof are immediately and

irrevocably terminated and written-off; and

“Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.

(g) Any Security which is to be Written-Off only in part shall be surrendered with, if

the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent so requires, due endorsement by, or a written

instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent

duly executed by, the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and

Security so surrendered.

(h) If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, the Issuer must perform the

obligations in respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by

the Issuer, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange

heretofore or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation thereof is made upon this

Security. The Fiscal Agency Agreement and the terms of the Securities may be

of any Security, by acceptance thereof, consents provided that, in the case of a

series of Subordinated Securities, the prior written approval of APRA is required

to modify, amend or supplement the terms of Securities of this series or, insofar as

respects the Securities of this series, the Fiscal Agency Agreement or to give

consents or waivers or take other actions where such modification, amendment,

supplement, consent, waiver or other action described above may affect the

eligibility of the Security as Tier 2 Capital (as defined in Section 8A.4).

Security or of the Fiscal Agency Agreement shall alter or impair the obligation of

1 CONVERSION

If a Principal Amount of a Security must be Converted, then, subject to this

Schedule A and Section 9A.1 and unless an Addendum specifies that the

Alternative Conversion Number applies, the following provisions apply (provided,

in all cases, that where a Security is required to be Converted only in part,

references in this Schedule to the “Security” shall be taken to be references to the

“Affected Security” as defined in Section 8A.2(h):

(a) the Security will be automatically transferred free from any encumbrance

to or as directed by ANZGHL on the Trigger Event Date;

(b) ANZGHL will allot and issue on the Trigger Event Date a number of

Ordinary Shares in respect of the Principal Amount of that Security 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 =

Principal Amount

(99% × VWAP)

where:

“VWAP” (expressed in dollars and cents or equivalent in the case of a

Specified Currency other than Australian dollars) 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 =

Principal Amount

Issue Date VWAP × 0.2


(c) on the Trigger Event Date, the rights of each holder of a Security (including

to payment of interest with respect to such Principal Amount, both in the

future and as accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to

each Security or portion thereof that is being Converted will be

automatically transferred for an amount equal to the Principal Amount of

that Security that is being Converted and that Principal Amount will be

applied in accordance with the Deed of Undertaking by way of payment for

subscription for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued under Section

1(b) of this Schedule A and the Deed of Undertaking. Each holder of the

Security is taken to have irrevocably directed that any amount payable under


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

A- 2

4872-1402-1036v.6

Section 1 of this Schedule A is to be applied as provided for in Section 1 of

this Schedule A and no holder of the Security has any right to payment in

any other way;

(d) any calculation under Section 1(b) of this Schedule A shall be, unless the

context requires otherwise, be rounded to four decimal places provided that

if the total number of additional Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a holder

of the Security in respect of the aggregate Principal Amount of the

Securities it holds which is being Converted 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, Australia time) on the Trigger

Event Date (unless another time is required for Conversion on that date).

At that time all other rights conferred or restrictions imposed on that

Security under the terms hereof will no longer have effect to the extent of

the Principal Amount of that Security being Converted (except for the right

to receive the Ordinary Shares as set forth in this Section 1 of this

Schedule A and Section 8A.2 and except for rights relating to interest which

is payable but has not been paid on or before the Trigger Event Date which

will continue); and

(f) under the arrangements as agreed between, among others, ANZGHL, the

Issuer and relevant members of the ANZ Group, deal with the Securities

being Converted, so that they are converted into ANZBGL Ordinary Shares

and terminated (the “Related Conversion Steps”).

2 ADJUSTMENTS TO VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in the terms hereof:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period,

Ordinary Shares have been quoted on the ASX as cum dividend or cum any

other distribution or entitlement and the relevant Principal Amount of the

Securities 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


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

A- 3

4872-1402-1036v.6

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 Section 2(a)(i) of this Schedule A which is traded

on the ASX on any of those Business Days), the volume weighted

average sale price of all such entitlements sold on the 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 the ASX

during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement as reasonably

determined by the directors of ANZGHL; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, Ordinary

Shares have been quoted on the ASX as ex dividend or ex any other

distribution or entitlement, and the relevant Principal Amount of the

Securities 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.

3 ADJUSTMENTS TO VWAP FOR DIVISIONS AND SIMILAR

TRANSACTIONS

(a) 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 ANZGHL’s share capital (not involving any cash

payment or other distribution or compensation to or by holders of Ordinary

Shares) (a “Reorganization”), in calculating the VWAP for that VWAP

Period the daily VWAP applicable on each day in the relevant VWAP

Period which falls before the date on which trading in Ordinary Shares is

conducted on a post-Reorganization basis shall be adjusted by multiplying

such daily VWAP by the following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganization; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganization.


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

A- 4

4872-1402-1036v.6

(b) Any adjustment made in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Schedule A

will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on holders of the

Securities under these terms and these terms will be construed accordingly.

Any such adjustment must be promptly notified to all holders of the

Securities.

4 ADJUSTMENTS TO ISSUE DATE VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, corresponding adjustments

to VWAP will be made in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 of this

Schedule A during the 20 Business Day period over which VWAP is calculated for

the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date

adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with Sections 5 to 7 of this Schedule A

(inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

5 ADJUSTMENTS TO ISSUE DATE VWAP FOR BONUS ISSUES

(a) Subject to Section 5(b) of this Schedule A below, if at any time after the

Issue Date ANZGHL 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

= V

o X

RD

RD + RN


where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application

of this formula;

Vo 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) Section 5(a) of this Schedule A does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued as

part of a bonus share plan, employee or executive share plan, executive


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

A- 5

4872-1402-1036v.6

option plan, share top up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend

reinvestment plan.

(c) For the purpose of Section 5(a) of this Schedule A, an issue will be regarded

as a pro rata issue notwithstanding that ANZGHL does not make offers to

some or all holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside

Australia, provided that in so doing ANZGHL is not in contravention of the

ASX Listing Rules.

(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this Section 5

of this Schedule A for any offer of Ordinary Shares not covered by

Section 5(a) of this Schedule 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 Section 5(a) of this Schedule A shall not in any way restrict

ANZGHL from issuing Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees

fit nor require any consent or concurrence of any holders of the Security.

6 ADJUSTMENT TO ISSUE DATE VWAP FOR DIVISIONS AND SIMILAR

TRANSACTIONS

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date, a Reorganization occurs, the Issuer shall

adjust the Issue Date VWAP by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP

applicable on the Business Day immediately before the date of any such

Reorganization by the following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganization; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganization.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 6(a) of this

Schedule A will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on holders

of Securities under these terms and these terms will be construed

accordingly.

(c) Each holder of a Security acknowledges that ANZGHL 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 of Securities.


(Reverse of Security continued on next page)

A- 6

4872-1402-1036v.6

7 NO ADJUSTMENT TO ISSUE DATE VWAP IN CERTAIN

CIRCUMSTANCES

Despite the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Schedule A, 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.

8 ANNOUNCEMENT OF ADJUSTMENT TO ISSUE DATE VWAP

The Issuer will notify the holder of Securities (an “Adjustment Notice”) of any

adjustment to the Issue Date VWAP under this Schedule A within 10 Business

Days of the Issuer determining the adjustment and the adjustment set out in the

announcement will be final and binding.

9 ORDINARY SHARES

Each Ordinary Share issued or arising upon Conversion ranks pari passu with all

other fully paid Ordinary Shares. The Holders of Securities agree not to trade

Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion (except as permitted by the Corporations

Act 2001 of Australia, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules) until

ANZGHL has taken such steps as are required by the Corporations Act 2001 of

Australia, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules for the Ordinary Shares

to be freely tradeable without such further disclosure or other action and agree to

allow ANZGHL to impose a holding lock or to refuse to register a transfer in respect

of Ordinary Shares until such time.

10 LISTING ORDINARY SHARES ISSUED ON CONVERSION

ANZGHL shall use all reasonable endeavors to list the Ordinary Shares issued upon

Conversion of the Securities on the ASX.

11 ALTERNATIVE CONVERSION NUMBER

If a Principal Amount of a Security must be Converted in accordance with the terms

hereof and the face of this Security specifies that the Alternative Conversion

Number applies, then:

(a) Section 1 of this Schedule A applies on the basis that the Conversion

Number for the purposes of Section 1(b) of this Schedule A is the number

of Ordinary Shares specified on the face of this Security as the Alternative

Conversion Number (subject to the Alternative Conversion Number being

no more than the Maximum Conversion Number as determined in

accordance with Section 1(b) of this Schedule A); and

(b) Sections 2 to 8 (inclusive) of this Schedule A do not apply to the Alternative

Conversion Number.

SCHEDULE 2 – Commercial particulars of the Subordinated Notes




PRICING SUPPLEMENT

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522), US$25,000,000,000 Medium-

Term Notes, Series A, Offering Memorandum dated November 21, 2023 (the “Offering Memorandum”).

Pricing Supplement— dated March 11, 2024

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or

otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European

Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as

defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the

meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in

point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No

1286/2014 (as amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to

retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available

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

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise

made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom.

For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of

Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom; or (ii) a customer within

the meaning of the provisions of the United Kingdom’s Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”)

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

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

domestic law in the United Kingdom. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No

1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the

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

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

the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

This Pricing Supplement is not a prospectus for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the “EU

Prospectus Regulation”), or for the purposes of the EU Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law in the United

Kingdom.

Notification under Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore (the “SFA”): The Notes shall be

prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018)

and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the “MAS”) Notice SFA 04-N12:

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

Products).

The Issuer expects that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about March 18, 2024, which will be the fifth

business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (such settlement being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of

the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two

business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade

Notes on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes

initially will settle in T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.

Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing or the next two succeeding business days should

consult their own advisor.

In terms of the Second Amended and Restated Fiscal Agency Agreement dated as of May 6, 2016, as amended, we wish to

advise the following in respect of the latest issue of Notes.

Schedule 3 – Description of rights and liabilities attaching to ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares

The rights and liabilities attaching to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are set out in the ANZGHL

constitution (“Constitution”) and are also regulated by the Corporations Act, the ASX

Listing Rules and the general law. A summary of the key rights attaching to ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares is set out below. Any ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion of

the Subordinated Notes will be fully paid ANZGHL Ordinary Shares.

Voting rights

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

holders of an ANZGHL Ordinary Share (“ANZGHL Shareholder”) are entitled to attend and

vote at a general meeting of ANZGHL. Any resolution being considered at a general meeting

is decided on a show of hands unless a poll is held. On a show of hands, each ANZGHL

Shareholder present has one vote.

On a poll, each ANZGHL Shareholder has one vote for each ANZGHL Ordinary Share. Partly

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

which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the ANZGHL Ordinary Share.

General meetings

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

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

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

the Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

Dividend entitlement

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

Ordinary Shares, the board of directors of ANZGHL (“ANZGHL Board”) may resolve to pay

dividends on ANZGHL Ordinary Shares which are considered by the ANZGHL Board to be

appropriate, in proportion to the capital paid up on the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares held by

each ANZGHL Shareholder.

Payment of a dividend on ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may also be restricted by the terms of

preference shares and other hybrid securities carrying a prior right to the payment of a

dividend or distribution. Before paying any dividend, directors of ANZGHL must ensure that

they are in compliance with APRA prudential standards.

Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan

ANZGHL Shareholders who are eligible may participate in ANZGHL's dividend reinvestment

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

the rules of those plans. ANZGHL Shareholders who are subject to the laws of a country or

place other than Australia may not be eligible to participate, because of legal requirements

that apply in that country or place or in Australia. Until the ANZGHL Board otherwise

determines, participation in ANZGHL's dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is

not available directly or indirectly to any entity or person (including any legal or beneficial

owner of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares) who is (or who is acting on behalf of or for the account

or benefit of an entity or person who is) in or resident in the United States (including its

territories or possessions) or Canada.



Rights of ANZGHL Shareholders on a winding-up of ANZGHL

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

capital of ANZGHL and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be divided among

ANZGHL Shareholders in proportion to the capital paid up on the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

at the commencement of the winding-up (subject to the rights of holders of shares carrying

preferred rights on winding-up). A partly paid ANZGHL Ordinary Share is counted as a

fraction of a fully paid ANZGHL Ordinary Share equal to the proportion which the amount

paid on it bears to the total issue price of the ANZGHL Ordinary Share.

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

Shareholders the assets of ANZGHL in kind and decide how the division is to be carried out

or vest assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of ANZGHL Shareholders as the

liquidator thinks appropriate.

Transfer of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may be transferred by any means permitted by the Corporations

Act or by law. The ANZGHL Board may decline to register a transfer where permitted to do

so under the ASX Listing Rules or the settlement operating rules of the ASX (“ASX

Settlement Operating Rules”), or where registration of the transfer is forbidden by the

Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or ASX Settlement Operating Rules. In addition, subject

to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the

ANZGHL Board may decline to register a transfer if registration would create a new holding

of less than a marketable parcel under the ASX Listing Rules.

Issues of further shares

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

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

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

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

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

winding-up of ANZGHL.

Variation of the Constitution

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

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

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

to vote on the resolution.

Variation of rights

ANZGHL may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any class of shares with the prior

approval, by a special resolution, of the holders of shares in that class at a meeting of those

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

shares of that class.

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

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

participation in profits and assets of ANZGHL.



Arrangements for holding and transfers of ANZGHL’s Ordinary Shares

Holdings and transfers of legal title to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are recorded and effected

via CHESS. CHESS is used to facilitate the clearing and settlement of trades in shares and

to provide an electronic subregister for shares in companies listed on ASX.

Deed of Undertaking

In respect of its obligations in connection with Conversion of Subordinated Notes, ANZGHL

has entered into the Deed of Undertaking for the benefit of the holders of Subordinated

Notes, which are subject to Conversion into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. Under the Deed of

Undertaking ANZGHL undertakes to perform its obligations relating to a Conversion

(including in connection with the issue and delivery of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to holders

of Subordinated Notes upon a Conversion), to use all reasonable endeavours to list and

procure quotation of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued or arising from a Conversion on

the ASX, to ensure that the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued or arising from a Conversion

will rank equally with all other fully paid ANZGHL Ordinary Shares, and from the applicable

Trigger Event Date (subject to the provisions of the Subordinated Notes relating to Write-

Off), to treat each holder of Subordinated Notes as the holder of the Conversion Number of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares and will take all such steps, including updating any register,

required to record the Conversion, and to otherwise comply with the terms of the

Subordinated Notes.

ANZGHL has no other obligation or liability in respect of any Subordinated Note or portion

thereof. The remedies of a holder in respect of any failure of ANZGHL to issue the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares upon a Conversion are limited in accordance with the terms of the

Subordinated Notes and the Deed of Undertaking, which provide that holders have no rights

against ANZGHL in respect of the Subordinated Notes other than (and subject always to

where Write-Off applies) to seek specific performance of the obligation to issue the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares. The making of an order for specific performance is in the discretion of the

court.
