For release: 25 July 2024
Issue of A$1.9 billion of Subordinated Notes
Notice under section 708A(12H)(e) of the
Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth)
Today Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522) (“ANZBGL”)
will issue A$1.9 billion fixed to floating rate subordinated notes due July 2039 pursuant to its
Australian dollar debt issuance programme (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
Ordinary Shares

issued on conversion
of the Subordinated Notes to be freely tradeable without further disclosure and includes:
1. the description of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Subordinated Notes that is
contained in the “Conditions of the Securities” section of the Information Memorandum
dated 9 August 2023 that was lodged by ANZBGL with the Australian Securities Exchange
(“ASX”) on that day (“Information Memorandum”);
2. in Schedule 1, commercial particulars of the Subordinated Notes, extracted from the
Pricing Supplement for the Subordinated Notes dated 23 July 2024; and
3. the description of the rights and liabilities attaching to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares that is
contained in the “Description of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be issued upon
Conversion of Subordinated Notes that are subject to Conversion” section of the
Information Memorandum.
Words and expressions defined in the Information Memorandum 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

ANZGHL’s shareholders’ equity. The number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued on
Conversion is limited to the Maximum Conversion Number. The Maximum Conversion Number
is 171.5266 ANZGHL Ordinary Shares per Subordinated Note (with a Principal Amount of
A$1,000), based on the Issue Date VWAP
2
of A$29.15.
As a disclosing entity, ANZGHL is subject to regular reporting and disclosure obligations under
the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules. Broadly, these obligations require ANZGHL to
prepare and lodge with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) both
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.
ANZGHL will provide a copy of any of the following documents free of charge to any person
who requests a copy before the Subordinated Notes are issued:
