Cleansing Notice

News Release
For Release: 15 November 2024
Issue of SGD 600 million of Fixed Rate 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 SGD
600 million fixed rate subordinated notes due 15 November 2034 pursuant to its US$60 billion Euro Medium
Term Note 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
1
issued on conversion of the Subordinated Notes to be freely tradeable
without further disclosure and includes:
1.in
Schedule 1, the description of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Subordinated Notes that has
been extracted from the Information Memorandum dated 21 November 2023 as supplemented (the
“Information Memorandum”);
2.in Schedule 2, commercial particulars of the Subordinated Notes, extracted from the Pricing
Supplement for the Subordinated Notes dated 13 November 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 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 45,405.01 27 ANZGHL Ordinary Shares per Subordinated Note (with a nominal value of
SGD 250,000), based on the Issue Date VWAP
2
of SGD 27.53.
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:
1
Refer to Schedule 1 for the meaning of “Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares” in the context of the Subordinated Notes.
2
Average of the daily volume weighted average sale prices of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. Refer to Schedule 1 for the meaning of “ Issue
Date VWAP” and “VWAP Period” in the context of the Subordinated Notes.

the same meanings where used in these Conditions unless the context otherwise requires or unless

273



Pricing Supplement, the Pricing Supplement will prevail.
1. Form, Denomination and Title
The Notes are issued (i) in bearer form ("Bearer Notes") or (ii) in registered form ("Registered Notes"),
in each case in the Specified Currency and the Specified Denomination(s). All Registered Notes shall
have the same Specified Denomination. "Specified Denomination" means the amount specified as such
in (or calculated in accordance with the provisions of) the relevant Pricing Supplement as it may be
adjusted, in the case of the Subordinated Notes, in accordance with Condition 5A.4.
This Note is a Fixed Rate Note, a Floating Rate Note, a Zero Coupon Note, a Range Accrual Note, an
Index Linked Interest Note, an Index Linked Redemption Note, an Instalment Note, a Dual Currency
Note, a Subordinated Note, a combination of any of the foregoing or any other relevant type of Note (as
permitted by these Conditions), depending upon the Interest Basis or Redemption/Payment Basis shown
in the Pricing Supplement. Notes issued as Subordinated Notes must not be Zero Coupon Notes, Range
Accrual Notes, Inverse Floating Rate Notes, Index Linked Interest Notes, Index Linked Redemption
Notes, Instalment Notes, Dual Currency Notes, CMS Rate Notes or any combination of any of the
foregoing.
Bearer Notes are serially numbered and are issued with Coupons (and, where appropriate, a Talon)
attached, save in the case of Zero Coupon Notes in which case references to interest (other than in relation
to interest due after the Maturity Date), Coupons and Talons in these Conditions are not applicable.
Instalment Notes are issued with one or more Receipts attached.
Registered Notes are represented by registered certificates ("Certificates") and, save as provided in
Condition 2(c), each Certificate shall represent the entire holding of Registered Notes by the same holder.
Title to the Bearer Notes and the Receipts, Coupons and Talons shall pass by delivery. Title to the
Registered Notes shall, subject to mandatory rules of law, pass by registration in the register that the
Issuer shall procure to be kept by the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of the Agency
Agreement (the "Register"). Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by
law, the holder (as defined below) of any Certificate, Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon shall be deemed
to be and may be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes, whether or not it is overdue and regardless
of any notice of ownership, trust or interest in it, any writing on it (or on the Certificate representing it)
or its theft or loss (or that of the related Certificate) and no person shall be liable for so treating the holder.
In these Conditions, "Noteholder" means the bearer of any Bearer Note and the Receipts relating to it or
the person in whose name a Registered Note is registered, "Unsubordinated Noteholder" means the
Noteholder of a Unsubordinated Note and the Receipts relating to it, "Subordinated Noteholder" means
the Noteholder of a Subordinated Note issued by ANZBGL and the Receipts relating to it, and "holder"
(in relation to a Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon) means the bearer of any Bearer Note, Receipt, Coupon
or Talon or the person in whose name a Registered Note is registered.
2. Exchange and Transfers of Notes
(a) Exchange of Notes
Registered Notes may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes and vice versa. Bearer Notes of one Specified
Denomination may not be exchanged for Bearer Notes of another Specified Denomination. Transfer of
Registered Notes
Registered Notes may be transferred upon the surrender (at the specified office of the Registrar or any
Transfer Agent) of the Certificate representing such Registered Notes to be transferred, together with the
form of transfer endorsed on such Certificate duly completed and executed and such other evidence as
the Registrar or Transfer Agent may reasonably require. In the case of a transfer of part only of a holding
of Registered Notes represented by one Certificate, a new Certificate shall be issued to the transferee in
respect of the part transferred and a further new Certificate in respect of the balance of the holding not
transferred shall be issued to the transferor.

274



(b) Exercise of Options or Partial Redemption in Respect of Registered Notes
In the case of an exercise of an Issuer's or Noteholder's option in respect of, or a partial redemption of, a
holding of Registered Notes represented by a single Certificate, a new Certificate shall be issued to the
holder to reflect the exercise of such option or in respect of the balance of the holding not redeemed. In
the case of a partial exercise of an option resulting in Registered Notes of the same holding having
different terms, separate Certificates shall be issued in respect of those Notes of that holding that have
the same terms. New Certificates shall only be issued against surrender of the existing Certificates to the
Registrar or any Transfer Agent. In the case of a transfer of Registered Notes to a person who is already
a holder of Registered Notes, a new Certificate representing the enlarged holding shall only be issued
against surrender of the Certificate representing the existing holding.
(c) Delivery of New Certificates
Each new Certificate to be issued pursuant to Condition 2(b) or (c) shall be available for delivery five
business days after receipt of the request for exchange, form of transfer or Exercise Notice or surrender
of the Certificate for exchange. Delivery of the new Certificate(s) shall be made at the specified office of
the Transfer Agent or of the Registrar (as the case may be) to whom delivery or surrender of such request
for exchange, form of transfer, Exercise Notice or Certificate shall have been made or, at the option of
the holder making such delivery or surrender as aforesaid and as specified in the relevant request for
exchange, form of transfer, Exercise Notice or otherwise in writing, be mailed by uninsured post at the
risk of the holder entitled to the new Certificate to such address as may be so specified, unless such holder
requests otherwise and pays in advance to the relevant Agent (as defined in the Agency Agreement) the
costs of such other method of delivery and/or such insurance as it may specify. In this Condition 2(d),
"business day" means a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which banks are open for business in
the location of the specified office of the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent (as the case may be).
(d) Exchange Free of Charge
Exchange and transfer of Notes and Certificates on registration, transfer, partial redemption or exercise
of an option shall be effected without charge by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Registrar or the Transfer
Agents, but upon payment of any tax, duty or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation
to it (or the giving of such indemnity as the Issuer, the Registrar or the relevant Transfer Agent may
require).
(e) Closed Period
No Noteholder may require the transfer of a Registered Note to be registered (i) during the period of 15
days ending on the due date for redemption of, or payment of any Instalment Amount in respect of, that
Note, (ii) during the period of 15 days before any date on which Notes may be called for redemption by
the Issuer at its option pursuant to Condition 5(e), (iii) after any such Note has been called for redemption
or (iv) during the period of seven days ending on (and including) any Record Date.
3. Status and Guarantee
The Notes may be unsubordinated Notes ("Unsubordinated Notes") or, where the Issuer is ANZBGL,
subordinated Notes ("Subordinated Notes") as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.
None of the Notes are deposit liabilities or protected accounts of ANZBGL for the purposes of the
Banking Act 1959 of Australia (the "Banking Act").
(a) Unsubordinated Notes
The Unsubordinated Notes and the Receipts and Coupons relating to them constitute direct,
unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and (save for certain debts of the Issuer required
to be preferred by law, including but not limited to, where the Issuer is ANZBGL, those referred to in
Division 2 and 2AA of Part II of the Banking Act and section 86 of the Reserve Bank Act 1959 of
Australia) rank pari passu among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated, unsecured
obligations of the Issuer.
The debts which are preferred by law to the claim of a Noteholder in respect of a Note, including by
virtue of the provisions referred to in the above paragraph of Condition 3, will be substantial and are

275



not limited by the Conditions of the Notes. Without limitation to other applicable laws, in the case of
Notes issued by ANZBGL, section 13A(3) of the Banking Act provides that, in the event ANZBGL becomes
unable to meet its obligations or suspends payment, its assets in Australia are to be available to meet
ANZBGL's liabilities in the following order: (i) liabilities to the Australian Prudential Regulation
Authority ("APRA") in respect of any payments that APRA makes or is liable to make to (A) holders of
protected accounts under the Banking Act or (B) a body corporate pursuant to a determination made by
APRA in connection with a transfer of the ADI's business to that body corporate (where that transfer
includes liabilities of the ADI in respect of protected accounts) under the Financial Sector (Transfer and
Restructure) Act 1999 of Australia, (ii) debts in respect of costs of APRA in certain circumstances, (iii)
ANZBGL's liabilities in Australia in relation to protected accounts (as defined in the Banking Act) kept
with ANZBGL, (iv) debts due to the Reserve Bank of Australia ("RBA")), (v) liabilities under certain
certified industry support contracts; and (vi) all other liabilities of ANZBGL in their order of priority
apart from section 13A(3). Changes to applicable law may extend the debts required to be preferred by
law.
The Unsubordinated Notes rank senior to the Issuer's subordinated obligations, including, where the
Issuer is ANZBGL, the Subordinated Notes.
(b) Subordinated Notes — ANZBGL
The Subordinated Notes and the Receipts and Coupons relating to them may only be issued by ANZBGL,
and will constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of ANZBGL. In the event of the
winding-up of ANZBGL (see Condition 10 (Subordination)) and prior to the commencement of the
winding-up of ANZBGL (see Condition 4(v)) the Principal Amount of, any interest on, and any other
payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes will rank behind all claims
of Senior Creditors, and subject to Conditions 5A to 5C (inclusive) pari passu with Equal Ranking
Securities and ahead of Junior Ranking Securities.
"Equal Ranking Securities" means any present or future instrument that ranks in a winding-up of
ANZBGL as the most junior claim in the winding-up of ANZBGL ranking senior to Junior Ranking
Securities, and includes any instruments issued as Relevant Tier 2 Securities.
"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 ANZBGL to the claims
of Subordinated Noteholders and holders of Equal Ranking Securities.
"Senior Creditors" means all present and future creditors of ANZBGL (including but not limited to
depositors of ANZBGL whose claims:
(i) would be entitled to be admitted in the winding up of ANZBGL; and
(ii) are not in respect of Equal Ranking Securities or Junior Ranking Securities.
Neither ANZBGL nor a Subordinated Noteholder has any contractual right to set off any sum at any time
due and payable to a Subordinated Noteholder or ANZBGL (as applicable) under or in relation to the
Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the Subordinated Noteholder to ANZBGL or by
ANZBGL to the Subordinated Noteholder (as applicable).
The Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of liabilities ranking senior to the Subordinated Notes
which may be hereafter incurred or assumed by ANZBGL.
Claims of Subordinated Noteholders are also subject to the priority of certain debts preferred by law (in
respect of which please see the description provided in Condition 3(a) above).
(c) Guarantee — by ANZ Bank New Zealand (in respect of Notes issued by ANZNIL)
Where the relevant Issuer is ANZNIL, the Guarantor has in the Deed of Guarantee unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed the due and punctual payment of all amounts due by ANZNIL under or in respect
of the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable. This Guarantee of the Notes constitutes

276



direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Guarantor which (save for certain debts of the
Guarantor required to be preferred by law) will at all times rank pari passu among themselves and equally
with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations) of the Guarantor. The Notes
issued by ANZ Bank New Zealand and ANZNIL are not guaranteed by ANZBGL.
4. Interest and other Calculations
(a) Interest on Fixed Rate Notes
(i) Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding Principal Amount from, and including, the
Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Rate
of Interest, such interest being payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date. Such Interest
Payment Date(s) is/are either shown in the Pricing Supplement as specified Interest Payment
Dates or, if no Interest Payment Date(s) is/are specified in the Pricing Supplement, Interest
Payment Date shall mean each date which falls the number of months or other period shown in
the Pricing Supplement as the specified Interest Period after the preceding Interest Payment Date
or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.
(ii) If a Fixed Coupon Amount or a Broken Amount is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the
amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will amount to the Fixed Coupon
Amount or, if applicable, the Broken Amount so specified and in the case of the Broken Amount
will be payable on the particular Interest Payment Date(s) specified in the Pricing Supplement.
(iii) Calculation of Interest Amount: The Interest Amount payable in respect of each Note for any
period for which a Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount is not specified in the Pricing
Supplement shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the Calculation Amount for
such Note, multiplying the product by the relevant Day Count Fraction, rounding the resulting
figure to the nearest unit of the Specified Currency (with halves being rounded up), save in the
case of Yen, which shall be rounded down to the nearest Yen, and multiplying such rounded figure
by a fraction equal to the Specified Denomination of such Note divided by the Calculation
Amount. For this purpose, a "unit" means, in the case of any currency other than euro, the lowest
amount of such currency that is available as legal tender in the country of such currency and, in
the case of euro, means 0.01 euro, as the case may be.
(iv) Business Day Convention: If "Business Day Convention – Adjusted" is specified to be applicable
in the relevant Pricing Supplement, (a) any Interest Payment Date otherwise falling on a day which
is not a Business Day (as defined in Condition 4(r) below) will be postponed or brought forward
(as applicable) in accordance with the Business Day Convention set out in the relevant Pricing
Supplement (as described below) and (b) the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment
Date will be adjusted accordingly and the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (j) (excluding the
determination and notification of the Rate of Interest) below shall apply, mutatis mutandis, as
though references to "Floating Rate Notes" were to "Fixed Rate Notes" and references to "Interest
Amounts" were to amounts of interest payable in respect of Fixed Rate Notes. If "Business Day
Convention – No Adjustment" is specified to be applicable in the relevant Pricing Supplement,
any Interest Payment Date otherwise falling on a day which is not a Business Day will be
postponed or brought forward (as applicable) in accordance with the Business Day Convention
set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement (as described below) and there will be no corresponding
adjustment of the amount of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date.
(b) Interest on Floating Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest Notes
(i) Interest Payment Dates: Each Floating Rate Note and Index Linked Interest Note bears interest
on its outstanding Principal Amount from, and including, the Interest Commencement Date at the
rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Rate of Interest, such interest being
payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date. Such Interest Payment Date(s) is/are either
shown in the Pricing Supplement as specified Interest Payment Dates or, if no Interest Payment
Date(s) is/are specified in the Pricing Supplement, Interest Payment Date shall mean each date
which falls the number of months or other period shown in the Pricing Supplement as the specified
Interest Period after the preceding Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the first Interest
Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.

277



(ii) Business Day Convention: If any date referred to in these Conditions that is specified to be subject
to adjustment in accordance with a Business Day Convention would otherwise fall on a day that
is not a Business Day, then that date will be adjusted in accordance with the Business Day
Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. If "No Adjustment of Interest Amounts"
is specified to be applicable in the relevant Pricing Supplement then notwithstanding the bringing
forward or postponement (as applicable) of an Interest Payment Date as a result of the application
of the Business Day Convention set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement, the Interest Amount
in respect of the relevant Interest Period and each subsequent Interest Period shall be calculated
as aforesaid on the basis of the original Interest Payment Dates without adjustment in accordance
with the applicable Business Day Convention.
(iii) Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Notes: The Rate of Interest in respect of Floating Rate Notes,
other than in the case of (x) BBSW Notes or BKBM Notes, provisions in respect of which are set
out in Condition 4(d) and Condition 4(e) below, (y) CMS Rate Notes, provisions in respect of
which are set out in Condition 4(f) below and (z) Inverse Floating Rate Notes, provisions in
respect of which are set out in Condition 4(g) below (unless in each case the relevant Pricing
Supplement specifies otherwise), for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined in the
manner specified in the Pricing Supplement and the provisions below relating to either ISDA
Determination or Screen Rate Determination shall apply depending upon which is specified in the
Pricing Supplement.
(A) ISDA Determination for Floating Rate Notes
If ISDA Determination is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as the manner
in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest
Accrual Period shall be determined by the Calculation Agent as a rate equal to the
relevant ISDA Rate. For the purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), "ISDA Rate" for an
Interest Accrual Period means a rate equal to the Floating Rate that would be determined
by the Calculation Agent under an interest rate swap transaction if the Calculation Agent
were acting as Calculation Agent for that interest rate swap transaction under the terms
of an agreement incorporating the ISDA Definitions and under which:
(i) if the Pricing Supplement specifies either "2006 ISDA Definitions" or "2021
ISDA Definitions" as the applicable ISDA Definitions:
(A) the Floating Rate Option is as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement;
(B) the Designated Maturity, if applicable, is a period specified in the relevant
Pricing Supplement; and
(C) the relevant Reset Date, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing
Supplement, has the meaning given to it in the ISDA Definitions; and
(D) the definition of ‘Fallback Observation Day’ in the ISDA Definitions shall
be deemed deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Calculation Period (or any Compounding Period included in that
Calculation Period) to which that Reset Date relates, unless otherwise
agreed, the day that is five Business Days preceding the related Payment
Date;
(E) if the specified Floating Rate Option is an Overnight Floating Rate Option,
Compounding is specified to be applicable in the relevant Pricing
Supplement and:

the relevant Pricing Supplement then (a) Averaging with Lookback
is the Overnight Rate Averaging Method and (b) Lookback is the
number of Applicable Business Days specified in the relevant Pricing
Supplement;
(2) if Averaging with Observation Period Shift is specified as the

Supplement and (c) Lockout Period Business Days, if applicable, are
the days specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement; and
(G) if the specified Floating Rate Option is an Index Floating Rate Option and
Index Provisions are specified to be applicable in the relevant Pricing
Supplement, the Compounded Index Method with Observation Period

supplied by one entity, the Calculation Agent will determine the Reference
Rate for the Specified Maturity and the Specified Currency which appears
on the Relevant Screen Page as of the Relevant Time on the relevant
Interest Determination Date; or
(II) in any other case, the Calculation Agent will determine the arithmetic
mean of the Reference Rates for the Specified Maturity and the Specified
Currency which appear on the Relevant Screen Page as of the Relevant
Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date;
(y) if sub-paragraph (x)(I) applies and no Reference Rate for the Specified Maturity
and the Specified Currency appears on the Relevant Screen Page at the Relevant
Time on the Interest Determination Date or if sub-paragraph (x)(II) applies and

leading banks selected by the Reference Banks Agent (after consultation with the
Issuer) in the Principal Financial Centre of the country of the Specified Currency
and in an amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at
that time, in each case as selected by the Reference Banks Agent (after
consultation with the Issuer), at or about the Relevant Time for a period
commencing on the Effective Date equivalent to the relevant Interest Accrual
Period, for loans in the Specified Currency to leading banks carrying on business
in (I) Europe, or (II) (if the Reference Banks Agent advises the Calculation Agent
that fewer than two of such banks are so quoting to such leading banks in Europe),

operational procedures of the administrator of the Reference Rate or of such other
information service, as the case may be) on the relevant Interest Determination
Date, the Rate of Interest shall be calculated for the Interest Period for which the

and
(B) in respect of the Cap,
(1) if the relevant Pricing Supplement specify that "less than or equal to" shall
apply, then less than or equal to the applicable Cap; or

299



(2) if the relevant Pricing Supplement specify that "less than" shall apply, then
less than the applicable Cap; and
"N2" means the actual number of Calculation Days in the Interest Accrual Period.
"Second CMS Spread Reference Rate" means the CMS swap rate for the applicable
CMS Currency as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement and determined in
accordance with the Conditions.
"Specified Fixed Rate" means the per annum rate specified in the applicable Pricing
Supplement.
A Subordinated Note cannot be a Range Accrual Note.
(i) Zero Coupon Notes
Where a Note, the Interest Basis of which is specified in the Pricing Supplement to be Zero Coupon, is
repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amount due and payable prior to the
Maturity Date shall be the Early Redemption Amount of such Note, unless otherwise specified in the
Pricing Supplement. As from the Maturity Date, the Rate of Interest for any overdue principal of such a
Note shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield. A
Subordinated Note cannot be a Zero Coupon Note.
(j) Dual Currency Notes
In the case of Dual Currency Notes, if the rate or amount of interest is to be determined by reference to
a Rate of Exchange or a method of calculating Rate of Exchange, the rate or amount of interest payable
shall be determined in the manner specified in the Pricing Supplement. A Subordinated Note cannot be
a Dual Currency Note.
(k) Accrual of Interest
Interest shall cease to accrue on each Note on the due date for redemption unless, upon due presentation,
payment is improperly withheld or refused, in which event interest shall continue to accrue (after, as well
as before, judgment) at the Rate of Interest in the manner provided in this Condition 4 to the Relevant
Date.
(l) Margin, Maximum/Minimum Rates of Interest, Instalment Amounts and Redemption Amounts,
Rate Multipliers and Rounding
(i) If any Margin or Rate Multiplier is specified in the Pricing Supplement (either (A) generally, or
(B) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment shall be made to all Rates
of Interest, in the case of (A), or the Rates of Interest for the specified Interest Accrual Periods, in
the case of (B), calculated in accordance with (b) or (c) above, by adding (if a positive number)
or subtracting the absolute value (if a negative number) of such Margin or multiplying such Rate
Multiplier, subject always to the next paragraph;
(ii) If any Maximum Rate of Interest or Minimum Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or Redemption
Amount is specified in the Pricing Supplement, then any Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or
Redemption Amount shall be subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be;
(iii) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, for the purposes of any calculations required
pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified), (A) all percentages resulting from such
calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage
point (with halves being rounded up), (B) all figures shall be rounded to seven decimal places
(with halves being rounded up) and (C) all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be
rounded to the nearest unit of such currency (with halves being rounded up), save in the case of
Yen, which shall be rounded down to the nearest Yen. For these purposes "unit" means, with
respect to any currency other than euro, the lowest amount of such currency that is available as
legal tender in the country of such currency and, with respect to euro, means 0.01 euro, as the case
may be; and

300



(iv) The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes issued as Subordinated Notes must not specify a
Rate Multiplier, Maximum Rate of Interest, Minimum Rate of Interest or Instalment Amount.
(m) Calculations
Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement, the amount of interest payable in respect of any
Note for any period shall be calculated by multiplying the product of the Rate of Interest and the
outstanding Principal Amount of such Note by the Day Count Fraction, unless an Interest Amount (or a
formula for its calculation) is specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of such period, in which case
the amount of interest payable in respect of such Note for such period shall equal such Interest Amount
(or be calculated in accordance with such formula). Where any Interest Period comprises two or more
Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable in respect of such Interest Period shall be the
sum of the amounts of interest payable in respect of each of those Interest Accrual Periods.
(n) Determination and Publication of Rate of Interest, Interest Amounts, Final Redemption Amounts
and Instalment Amounts
As soon as practicable after the Relevant Time on each Interest Determination Date or such other time
on such date as the Calculation Agent may be required to calculate any rate or amount or Instalment
Amount, obtain any quotation or make any determination or calculation, it shall determine such rate and
calculate the Interest Amounts in respect of each Specified Denomination of the Notes for the relevant
Interest Accrual Period, calculate the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Optional
Redemption Amount or Instalment Amount, obtain such quotation or make such determination or
calculation, as the case may be, and cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amounts for each Interest
Accrual Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date and, if required to be calculated, the Final
Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Optional Redemption Amount or any Instalment
Amount to be notified to the Fiscal Agent, the Issuer, the Guarantor (if applicable), each of the Paying
Agents, the Noteholders, the Registrar, any other Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Notes
that is to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information and, if the Notes are listed on a
stock exchange (and/or admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation on any other listing authority, stock
exchange and/or quotation system) and the rules of such listing authority, stock exchange and/or
quotation system so require, such listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system as soon as
possible after their determination but in no event later than (i) the commencement of the relevant Interest
Accrual Period, if determined prior to such time in the case of notification to such exchange of a Rate of
Interest and Interest Amount, or (ii) in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination.
Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Accrual Period is subject to adjustment pursuant to
Condition 4(a)(iv) or Condition 4(b)(ii), the Interest Amounts and the Interest Payment Date so published
may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment)
without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Accrual Period. If the Calculation
Amount is less than the minimum Specified Denomination, the Calculation Agent shall not be obligated
to publish each Interest Amount but instead may publish only the Calculation Amount and the Interest
Amount in respect of a Note having the minimum Specified Denomination. If the Notes become due and
payable under Condition 9 (Events of Default), the accrued interest and the Rate of Interest payable in
respect of the Notes shall nevertheless continue to be calculated as previously in accordance with this
Condition but no publication of the Rate of Interest or the Interest Amount so calculated need be made.
The determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining of each quotation and the making of each
determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent(s) or such other person specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement as the party responsible for making any such calculation or determination shall (in
the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.
(o) Benchmark Replacement
This Condition 4(o) (Benchmark Replacement) applies where the relevant Reference Rate specified in
the applicable Pricing Supplement is a rate other than SOFR (Non-Index Determination) or SOFR (Index
Determination). Notwithstanding the provisions above in Conditions 4(b), (d), (e), (f) and (g), if the
Issuer (in consultation with the Calculation Agent (or the person specified in the applicable Pricing
Supplement as the party responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest)) determines that a Benchmark
Disruption Event has occurred when any Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) remains
to be determined by reference to such Reference Rate affected by the Benchmark Disruption Event, then
the following provisions shall apply:

301



(i) Independent Adviser
The Issuer shall use its reasonable endeavours to appoint and consult with an Independent
Adviser, as soon as reasonably practicable, with a view to the Independent Adviser determining
a Successor Rate, failing which an Alternative Rate (in accordance with Condition 4(o)(ii)) and,
in either case, an Adjustment Spread if any (in accordance with Condition 4(o)(iv)) and any
Benchmark Amendments (in accordance with Condition 4(o)(v)).
(ii) Successor Rate or Alternative Rate
If the Independent Adviser, following consultation with the Issuer and acting in good faith and in
a commercially reasonable manner, determines, no later than the IA Determination Cut-off Date
that: (A) there is a Successor Rate, then it shall notify the Calculation Agent and the Calculation
Agent shall use such Successor Rate (subject to adjustment as provided in Condition 4(o)(iv)) in
place of the Reference Rate to determine the Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part
thereof) for all future payments of interest on the Notes (subject to the subsequent operation of
this Condition 4(o)); or (B) there is no Successor Rate but that there is an Alternative Rate, then
it shall notify the Calculation Agent and the Calculation Agent shall use such Alternative Rate
(subject to adjustment as provided in Condition 4(o)(iv)) in place of the Reference Rate to
determine the Rate of Interest (or the relevant component part thereof) for all future payments of
interest on the Notes (subject to the subsequent operation of this Condition 4(o)).
(iii) Issuer Determination
If the Issuer is unable to appoint an Independent Adviser, or if the Independent Adviser appointed
by it fails to determine a Successor Rate or Alternative Rate prior to the IA Determination Cut-
off Date, then, if it elects to do so, the Issuer (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable
manner) may determine a Successor Rate or Alternative Rate for the purposes of Condition
4(o)(ii);
(iv) Adjustment Spread
If the Independent Adviser following consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may
be), acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines (i) that an
Adjustment Spread is required to be applied to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the
case may be) and (ii) the quantum of, or a formula or methodology for determining, such
Adjustment Spread, then the Independent Adviser (or the Issuer as the case may be) shall notify
the Calculation Agent of such Adjustment Spread and the Calculation Agent shall apply it to the
Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be).
(v) Benchmark Amendments
If any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate or Adjustment Spread is determined in accordance with
this Condition 4(o) and the Independent Adviser following consultation with the Issuer (or the
Issuer as the case may be), acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner,
determines (i) that amendments to these Conditions and/or the Agency Agreement and/or any
other agreement or document relating to the Notes are necessary to ensure the proper operation of
such Successor Rate, Alternative Rate and/or Adjustment Spread (such amendments, the
"Benchmark Amendments") and (ii) the terms of the Benchmark Amendments, then the Issuer
shall, subject to giving notice thereof in accordance with Condition 4(o)(vi), without any
requirement for the consent or approval of Noteholders, at the Issuer's expense, vary these
Conditions and/or the Agency Agreement and/or any other agreement or document relating to the
Notes as is necessary to give effect to such Benchmark Amendments with effect from the date
specified in such notice. The Fiscal Agent and/or each other party to an applicable agreement shall
not be obliged to concur if in their opinion doing so would impose more onerous obligations on
them or expose them to any additional duties, responsibilities or liabilities or reduce or amend
their rights and/or the protective provisions afforded to them in these Conditions or in any other
document to which they are a party in any way. For the avoidance of doubt, no consent of the
Noteholders of the relevant Series shall be required in connection with effecting the Benchmark
Amendments or such other changes, including for the execution of any documents or the taking
of other steps by the Issuer or any of the parties to the Agency Agreement (if required). In

302



connection with any such variation in accordance with this Condition 4(o)(v), the Issuer shall
comply with the rules of any stock exchange on which the Notes are for the time being listed or
admitted to trading.
(vi) Notices, etc.
Any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread and the specific terms of any
Benchmark Amendments, determined under this Condition 4(o) will be notified promptly, and in
any event not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Interest Determination Date by the
Issuer to the Fiscal Agent, the Calculation Agent, and each other party to the Agency Agreement
and the Noteholders. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the effective date of the
Benchmark Amendments, if any, and will be binding on the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent, the
Calculation Agent and each other party to the Agency Agreement and the Noteholders.
(vii) Survival of Reference Rate
Without prejudice to the provisions of this Condition 4(o), the Reference Rate and the fallback
provisions provided for in Condition 4(b)(iii)(B) will continue to apply unless and until the
Calculation Agent has been notified of the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case
may be), and any Adjustment Spread and Benchmark Amendments, in accordance with Condition
4(o)(v).
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 4(o), in determining
any Adjustment Spread or other relevant methodology for the purposes of Condition 4(o)(iii), the Issuer
shall not and shall not be obliged to apply and may discount any Adjustment Spread or methodology the
application of which may constitute it an administrator for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011
or Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended.
In the case of Subordinated Notes only, any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or
Benchmark Amendments determined in accordance with Condition 4(o)(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) (Benchmark
Replacement), will be subject to the prior written approval of APRA having been obtained in each case.
Subordinated Noteholders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for any Successor Rate,
Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread or Benchmark Amendments it considers to have the effect of
increasing the Interest Rate contrary to applicable prudential standards.
For the purposes of this Condition 4(o) (Benchmark Replacement):
"Adjustment Spread" means either a spread (which may be positive or negative), or the formula or
methodology for calculating a spread, in either case, which the Independent Adviser following
consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may be), acting in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner, determines is required to be applied to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as
the case may be) to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, any
economic prejudice or benefit (as the case may be) to Noteholders as a result of the replacement of the
Reference Rate with the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be) and is the spread,
formula or methodology which:
(i) in the case of a Successor Rate, is formally recommended in relation to the replacement of the
Reference Rate with the Successor Rate by any Relevant Nominating Body; or (if no such
recommendation has been made, or in the case of an Alternative Rate);
(ii) the Independent Adviser following consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may be),
acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, is recognised or acknowledged as
being the industry standard for over-the-counter derivative transactions or is in customary market
usage in the debt capital market for transactions which reference the Reference Rate, where such
rate has been replaced by the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be) (or if
the Independent Adviser (or the Issuer as the case may be) determines that no such industry
standard is recognised or acknowledged);

303



(iii) the Independent Adviser following consultation with the Issuer (or the Issuer as the case may be),
in its discretion, and acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines to
be appropriate.
"Alternative Rate" means an alternative benchmark or screen rate which the Independent Adviser (or
the Issuer as the case may be) determines in accordance with Condition 4(o)(ii) has replaced the
Reference Rate in customary market usage in the international debt capital markets for the purposes of
determining rates of interest (or the relevant component part thereof) for the same interest period and in
the same Specified Currency as the Notes.
"Benchmark Amendments" has the meaning given to it in Condition 4(o)(v).
"IA Determination Cut-Off Date" means no later than five Business Days prior to the relevant Interest
Determination Date relating to the next relevant Interest Period.
"Benchmark Disruption Event" means:
(i) the relevant Reference Rate specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement has ceased to

calculated or administered; or
(ii) the Issuer determines after consulting with the Independent Adviser (if so appointed)
that, a change in the generally accepted market practice in the international debt capital
markets to refer to a Reference Rate is endorsed in a public statement by a Relevant
Nominating Body, despite the continued existence of the applicable Reference Rate.
"Reference Rate" means the originally-specified benchmark or screen rate (as applicable) used to
determine the Rate of Interest (or any component part thereof) on the Notes or any Successor Rate or
Alternative Rate which has been determined in relation to such benchmark or screen rate (as applicable)
pursuant to the operation of this Condition.
"Relevant Nominating Body" means, in respect of a Reference Rate:
(i) the central bank for the currency to which the Reference Rate relates, or any central bank
or other supervisory authority which is responsible for administering or supervising the
administrator of the Reference Rate;
(ii) any working group or committee sponsored by, chaired or co-chaired by or constituted
at the request of (a) the central bank for the currency to which the Reference Rate relates,
(b) any central bank or other supervisory authority which is responsible for administering

Determination) or SOFR (Index Determination) (and for the avoidance of doubt, any subsequent
Benchmark determined as a result of a Benchmark Replacement determination):

304



(i) Benchmark Replacement
If the Issuer or its designee determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of
any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will
replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Notes in respect of
such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.
(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes
In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Issuer or its
designee will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from
time to time.
(iii) Decisions and Determinations
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Issuer or its designee
pursuant to this Condition 4(p) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event), including any
determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-
occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from
taking any action or any selection, (x) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error, (y) will be made in the Issuer or its designee's sole discretion, and, (z)
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the in these Conditions or any other
documentation relating to the Notes, shall become effective without consent from the
Noteholders or any other party.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 4(p)
(Effect of Benchmark Transition Event) in determining any Benchmark Replacement,
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or for
the purposes of making any other determination for the purposes of this Condition, the Issuer
shall not and shall not be obliged to apply and may discount any factor or methodology the
application of which may constitute it an administrator for the purposes of Regulation (EU)
2016/1011 in the European Union or as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended.
In the case of Subordinated Notes only, any Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment determined in accordance with
this Condition 4(p) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event), will be subject to the prior written
approval of APRA having been obtained in each case.
Subordinated Noteholders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for any
Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes or Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment it considers to have the effect of increasing the Interest Rate contrary
to applicable prudential standards.
For the purposes of this Condition 4(p) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event):
"Benchmark" means, initially, the relevant Reference Rate specified in the applicable
Pricing Supplement where such Reference Rate is specified to be SOFR (Index
Determination) or SOFR (Non-Index Determination); provided that if the Issuer or its
designee determines on or prior to the Reference Time that a Benchmark Transition
Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to SOFR
(Index Determination) or SOFR (Non-Index Determination) (or the published daily
SOFR or SOFR Index used in the calculation thereof), as applicable, or the then-current
Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement.
"Benchmark Replacement" means the first alternative set forth in the order below that
can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
(i) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or
recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the

305



then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (b) the
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(ii) the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment; or
(iii) the sum of: (a) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Issuer
or its designee as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark (for the
applicable Corresponding Tenor, if any) giving due consideration to any
industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current
Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated floating rate notes at such time and (b)
the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
"Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" means the first alternative set forth in the
order below that can be determined by the Issuer or its designee as of the Benchmark
Replacement Date:
(i) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread
adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been
selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the
applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;
(ii) if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA
Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or
(iii) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that
has been selected by the Issuer or its designee giving due consideration to any
industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining
such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark (for
the applicable Corresponding Tenor, if any) with the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such
time.
"Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes" means, with respect to any
Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes
(including changes to the definition of "Interest Period," timing and frequency of
determining rates and making payments of interest, changes to the definition of
"Corresponding Tenor" (defined below) solely when such tenor is longer than the Interest
Period and other administrative matters) that the Issuer or its designee decides may be
appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner
substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Issuer or its designee decides that
adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the
Issuer or its designee determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark
Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Issuer or its designee determines is
reasonably necessary).
"Benchmark Replacement Date" means the earliest to occur of the following events
with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component
used in the calculation thereof):
(i) in the case of clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition
Event," the later of:

therein; and
(B) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or
indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or
(ii) in the case of clause (iii) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the
date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

306



For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date
occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any
determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior
to the Reference Time for such determination.
"Benchmark Transition Event" means the occurrence of one or more of the following
events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published
component used in the calculation thereof):
(i) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the
administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) announcing that such
administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark (or such
component), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such
statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue
to provide the Benchmark (or such component);
(ii) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for
the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component), the central bank for the
currency of the Benchmark (or such component), an insolvency official with
jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark (or such component), a
resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark
(or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution
authority over the administrator for the Benchmark (or such component), which
states that the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) has ceased
or will cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component) permanently or
indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is
no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark (or such
component); or
(iii) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for
the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer
representative.

supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate
derivatives published from time to time, including the 2021 ISDA Interest Rate
Derivatives Definitions (as amended or supplemented from time to time).

ISDA Definitions to be determined upon the occurrence of an index cessation event with
respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor.
"ISDA Fallback Rate" means the rate that would apply for derivatives transactions
referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon the occurrence of an index
cessation date with respect to the Benchmark for the applicable tenor excluding the
applicable ISDA Fallback Adjustment.

(q) ISDA Determination for Fallback
Notwithstanding the provisions of Condition 4(o) (Benchmark Replacement) and Condition 4(p)
(Effect of Benchmark Transition Event), if ISDA Determination for Fallback provisions is
specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement as being applicable to the Notes (other than
Subordinated Notes) then, upon the occurrence of an ISDA Determination Fallback Event, the
Calculation Agent shall determine the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period or Interest
Accrual Period as the sum of:
(A) the ISDA Fallback Rate; and
(B) the ISDA Fallback Adjustment.
For the purposes of this Condition:
"Index Cessation Event" means, in respect of a Reference Rate:
(i) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the
administrator of the Reference Rate announcing that it has ceased or will cease
to provide the Reference Rate permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the

payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be conditional
on ANZBGL being Solvent at the time of such payment by ANZBGL; and
(ii) no payment of principal of, any interest on, and any other payments, including additional amounts,
in respect of the Subordinated Notes shall be made unless ANZBGL is Solvent immediately after
making such payment,
and if, pursuant to this Condition, ANZBGL fails to make any payment of principal of, or interest on, or
any other payment, including additional amounts, in respect of any Subordinated Note when due, such
failure will not constitute an Event of Default for the purposes of Condition 9(b)(ii).
A certificate signed by ANZBGL, two authorised signatories or an auditor of ANZBGL or, if ANZBGL
is being wound up, its liquidator as to whether ANZBGL is Solvent at any time is (in the absence of
wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) conclusive evidence of the information contained in the
certificate and will be binding on the Subordinated Noteholders. In the absence of any such certificate,
the Subordinated Noteholders are entitled to assume (unless the contrary is proved) that ANZBGL is
Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any payment on or in respect of the
Subordinated Notes.
Any amount not paid on account of this Condition remains and accumulates as a debt owing and is
payable on the first date on and to the extent to which the amount is able to be paid in compliance with
this Condition.

5(f), each Note that provides for Instalment Dates and Instalment Amounts (each, an "Instalment
Note") shall be partially redeemed on each Instalment Date at the related Instalment Amount
specified in the Pricing Supplement. The outstanding Principal Amount of each such Note shall
be reduced by the Instalment Amount (or, if such Instalment Amount is calculated by reference
to a proportion of the Principal Amount of such Note, such proportion) for all purposes with effect
from the related Instalment Date, unless payment of the Instalment Amount is improperly
withheld or refused on presentation of the related Receipt, in which case, such amount shall
remain outstanding until the Relevant Date relating to such Instalment Amount. A Subordinated
Note will not provide for redemption by Instalments.
(ii) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled, Converted or Written-Off as provided
below or its maturity is extended pursuant to any Issuer's or Noteholder's option in accordance
with Condition 5(e) or 5(f), each Note shall be finally redeemed on the Maturity Date specified in
the Pricing Supplement at its Final Redemption Amount or, in the case of a Note falling within
paragraph (i) above, its final Instalment Amount.

amounts as provided in Condition 7 (Taxation);

imposed by any authority together with any related interest, penalties and expenses in connection
with them, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any Note; or
(iii) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement, ANZBGL
determines that any interest payable on any Note is not, or may not be, allowed as a deduction to
either ANZBGL or the consolidated tax group of which it is a member for the purposes of
Australian income tax,
the Issuer may at its option, at any time (if this Note is neither a Floating Rate Note nor an Index Linked
Interest Note) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked
Interest Notes) and, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' notice to the Noteholders of the
relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only, of the Notes of the
relevant Series at their Early Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption, provided, in the case of Condition 5(b)(i), that no such notice of redemption shall be given
earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantor would
be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due or (as the
case may be) an obligation to make a payment under the Guarantee were then made. Prior to the
publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5(b), the Issuer shall deliver to the
Fiscal Agent a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director, a Senior Executive,
an authorised representative or of equivalent status of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect
such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts showing that the conditions precedent to the
right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.
(c) Redemption of Subordinated Notes for Regulatory Reasons
If specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, if a Regulatory Event occurs, ANZBGL may at its option,
at any time (if the Subordinated Note is not a Floating Rate Note) or on any Interest Payment Date (in
the case of a Subordinated Note that is a Floating Rate Note) and subject to Condition 5(i) on giving not
more than 60 nor less than 30 days' notice to the Subordinated Noteholders of the relevant Series (which
notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only, of the Subordinated Notes of the relevant
Series at the Early Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption.
Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5(c), ANZBGL shall
deliver to the Fiscal Agent a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director, a Senior
Executive, an authorised representative or of equivalent status of ANZBGL stating that ANZBGL is
entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts showing that the conditions
precedent to the right of ANZBGL so to redeem have occurred.
For the purposes of this Condition 5(c):
"Regulatory Event" means ANZBGL determines, having received:
(i) 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

318



law or regulation of the Commonwealth of Australia, 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
(ii) a written statement from APRA after the Issue Date,
that, in each case, ANZBGL is not or will not be entitled to treat all Subordinated Notes of a Series as
Tier 2 Capital, provided that, in each case, on the Issue Date of the Subordinated Notes, ANZBGL did
not expect that matters giving rise to the Regulatory Event would occur.
(d) Early Redemption of Zero Coupon Notes
(i) The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Note that does not bear
interest prior to the Maturity Date, the Early Redemption Amount of which is not linked to an
index and/or a formula, upon redemption of such Note pursuant to Condition 5(b) or (c) or upon
it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition 9 (Events of Default), shall be the
Amortised Face Amount (calculated as provided below) of such Note unless otherwise specified
in the Pricing Supplement.
(ii) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (iii) below, the "Amortised Face Amount" of any
such Note shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Note on the Maturity Date
discounted to the date of its early redemption at a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage)
equal to (A) where Compound Interest is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the "Amortisation
Yield" (which, if none is set out in the Pricing Supplement, shall be such rate as would produce
an Amortised Face Amount equal to the Issue Price of the Notes if such Notes were discounted
back from the Maturity Date to the Issue Date) compounded annually, or (B) where Linear Interest
is specified in the Pricing Supplement, an amount per Calculation Amount calculated in
accordance with the following formula:
Amortised Face Amount = 퐶푎푙푐푢푙푎푡푖표푛 퐴푚표푢푛푡+(퐴푐푐푟푒푡푖푛푔 푃푎푦푚푒푛푡 퐴푚표푢푛푡 푥 퐴)+퐵
Where:
"A" means the aggregate number of Accreting Payment Periods that precede the Final
Accreting Payment Period;
"Accreting Payment Amount" means the amount per Calculation Amount specified
in the Pricing Supplement;
"Accreting Payment Period" means a period specified in the Pricing Supplement;
"B" means, in respect of the Final Accreting Payment Period, the Accreting Payment
Amount multiplied by the Day Count Fraction;
"Early Redemption Date" means in respect of this Condition 5(d) the date on which
the Notes are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date; and
"Final Accreting Payment Period" means a period specified in the Pricing
Supplement.
Where such calculation referred to in sub-paragraph (A) of this sub-paragraph (ii) is to be made
for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on the basis of the Day Count Fraction set out
in the Pricing Supplement.
(iii) If the Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Note upon its redemption
pursuant to Condition 5(b) or (c) or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition
9 (Events of Default) is not paid when due, the Early Redemption Amount due and payable in
respect of such Note shall be the Amortised Face Amount of such Note as defined in sub-
paragraph (ii) above, except that such sub-paragraph shall have effect as though the reference
therein, in the case of sub-paragraph (A), to the date on which the Note becomes due and payable
or, in the case of sub-paragraph (B), the Early Redemption Date, were replaced by a reference to

319



the Relevant Date. The calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-
paragraph shall continue to be made (after, as well as before, judgment) until the Relevant Date,
unless the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which case the amount due and
payable shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Note on the Maturity Date
together with any interest that may accrue in accordance with Condition 4(k).
(e) Redemption at the Option of the Issuer and Exercise of Issuer's Options
If a Call Option is included in the Pricing Supplement and subject to Condition 5(i) in the case of any
Subordinated Note, the Issuer may, on giving not less than five or more than 30 days' irrevocable notice
(subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the Pricing Supplement under "Option Exercise
Date(s)") to the Noteholders redeem, or exercise any Issuer's option (as may be described in the Pricing
Supplement) in relation to, all or, if so provided, some of the Notes on any Optional Redemption Date
(which, in the case of a Subordinated Note, may not be before the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date of
that Subordinated Note). Any such redemption of Notes shall be at their Optional Redemption Amount
together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Any such redemption or exercise of the
Issuer's option shall only relate to Notes of a Principal Amount at least equal to the Minimum Redemption
Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement and no greater than the Maximum
Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement.
All Notes in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed, or the Issuer's option shall be
exercised, on the date specified in such notice in accordance with this Condition.
In the case of a partial redemption or a partial exercise of an Issuer's option, the notice to Noteholders
shall also contain the certificate numbers of the Notes to be redeemed or in respect of which such option
has been exercised, which shall have been drawn in such place as may be fair and reasonable in the
circumstances, having regard to prevailing market practices and in such manner as it deems appropriate,
subject to compliance with any applicable laws and stock exchange requirements. So long as the Notes
are admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation on any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation
system and the rules of the relevant listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system so require,
the Issuer shall, once in each year in which there has been a partial redemption of the Notes, cause to be
published in a leading newspaper of general circulation in London (which is expected to be the Financial
Times), or as specified by such other listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system, a notice
specifying the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding and a list of the Notes drawn for
redemption but not surrendered.
(f) Redemption at the Option of Noteholders and Exercise of Noteholders' Options
If a Put Option is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer shall, at the option of the holder of such
Note, upon the holder of such Note giving not less than 15 nor more than 30 days' notice to the Issuer
(subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the Pricing Supplement, under "Option
Exercise Date(s)"), redeem such Note on the Optional Redemption Date(s) so provided at its Optional
Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption.
To exercise such option or any other Noteholder's option that may be set out in the Pricing Supplement
the holder must deposit (in the case of Bearer Notes) such Note (together with all unmatured Receipts
and Coupons and unexchanged Talons) with any Paying Agent or (in the case of Registered Notes) the
Certificate representing such Note(s) with the Registrar or any Transfer Agent at its specified office,
together with a duly completed option exercise notice ("Exercise Notice") in the form obtainable from
any Paying Agent, the Registrar or any Transfer Agent (as applicable) within the notice period No Note
or Certificate so deposited and option exercised may be withdrawn (except as provided in the Agency
Agreement) without the prior consent of the Issuer, except that such Note or Certificate will be returned
to the relevant Noteholder by the Paying Agent, the Registrar or Transfer Agent with which it has been
deposited if, prior to the due date for its redemption or the exercise of the option, the Note becomes
immediately due and payable or if upon due presentation payment of the redemption moneys is not made
or exercise of the option is denied.


A Put Option may not be specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of Subordinated Notes.

320



(g) Purchases
Where ANZBGL is the Issuer of this Note, ANZBGL is taken to represent as at the date of issue of this
Note, that it does not know, or have any reasonable grounds to suspect, that this Note or any interest in
this Note is being or will later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an Offshore Associate of
ANZBGL (acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to the
placement of this Note or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered
scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia ("Corporations Act")).
"Offshore Associate" means an associate (as defined in section 128F of the Australian Tax Act) of
ANZBGL that is either a non-resident of Australia which does not acquire the Notes in carrying on a
business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia or, alternatively, a resident of Australia
that acquires the Notes in carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside of
Australia.
Except in the case of Subordinated Notes, the Issuer, the Guarantor and any of their respective
subsidiaries may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, at any time purchase Notes
(provided that all unmatured Receipts and Coupons and unexchanged Talons relating thereto are attached
thereto or surrendered therewith) in the open market or otherwise. Notes so purchased by the Issuer, the
Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries may be surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer
to the Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent for cancellation or may at the option of the Issuer, the Guarantor
or the relevant subsidiary be held or resold.
In the case of Subordinated Notes, subject to Condition 5(i), ANZBGL and any of its Related Entities
may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, at any time purchase Subordinated Notes
(provided that all unmatured Receipts and Coupons and unexchanged Talons relating thereto are attached
thereto or surrendered therewith) in the open market or otherwise. Subordinated Notes so purchased by
ANZBGL or any of its Related Entities may be surrendered by the purchaser through ANZBGL to the
Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent for cancellation or may at the option of ANZBGL or the relevant
Related Entity be held or resold.
(h) Cancellation
All Notes redeemed by the Issuer or surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer for cancellation
pursuant to Condition 5(f) shall be surrendered for cancellation, in the case of Bearer Notes, by
surrendering each such Note together with all unmatured Receipts and Coupons and all unexchanged
Talons to, or to the order of, the Fiscal Agent and, in the case of Registered Notes, by surrendering the
Certificate representing such Notes to the Registrar and, in each case, if so surrendered, shall, together
with all Notes redeemed by the Issuer, be cancelled forthwith (together with all unmatured Receipts and
Coupons and unexchanged Talons attached thereto or surrendered therewith). Any Notes so surrendered
for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and the obligations of the Issuer in respect of any such
Notes shall be discharged.
(i) Approval of APRA
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Condition 5, ANZBGL may not (i) redeem any
Subordinated Notes under paragraph (b), (c) or (e) above or (ii) prior to the Maturity Date purchase, or
procure that any of its Related Entities purchase, any Subordinated Notes under paragraph (g) above,
without the prior written approval of APRA and ANZBGL will not be permitted to redeem any
Subordinated Notes unless:
(a) the Subordinated Notes are replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory
Capital of the same or better quality and the replacement of the Subordinated Notes is
done under conditions that are sustainable for ANZBGL's income capacity; or
(b) APRA is satisfied that ANZBGL's capital position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if
applicable, Level 3 (each as defined in Condition 5E.1 below) is well above its
minimum capital requirements after ANZBGL elects to redeem the Subordinated
Notes.

321



Subordinated Noteholders should not expect that APRA's approval will be given for any redemption or
purchase of Subordinated Notes.
5A. Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Non-Viability Trigger Event
5A.1. Application to Subordinated Notes only
Conditions 5A, 5B and 5C apply only to Subordinated Notes. Schedule 1 to these Conditions
(including the defined terms contained in Schedule 1) shall be deemed to form part of, and be
incorporated in, Condition 5B.
5A.2 Non-Viability Trigger Event
A "Non-Viability Trigger Event" means the earlier of:
(i) the issuance to ANZBGL of a written determination from APRA that conversion or write-off of
Relevant Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that ANZBGL would
become non-viable; or
(ii) a determination by APRA, notified to ANZBGL in writing, that without a public sector injection
of capital, or equivalent support, ANZBGL would become non-viable,
each such determination being a "Non-Viability Determination".
5A.3 Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date
If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:
(i) on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to Condition 5B.5, such Principal Amount of the
Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is applicable as
specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is required by the Non-Viability Determination provided
that:
(a) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 5A.2(i) 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 Subordinated Notes shall
Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing
Supplement) as is sufficient (determined by ANZBGL in accordance with Condition
5A.3(ii)) to satisfy APRA that ANZBGL is viable without further conversion or write-
off; and
(b) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 5A.2(ii), all the Principal
Amount of the Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be Written-Off
(whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement);
(ii) ANZBGL will determine the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes which must be Converted
or Written-Off (as applicable) in accordance with Condition 5A.3(i)(a), 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 Condition 5A.3(i)(a) (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 or Write-Off (as applicable) a
Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes 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 ANZBGL, fair and
reasonable (subject to such adjustment as ANZBGL 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 authorised denominations of the Principal Amount of any
Subordinated Note 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

322



purposes of this Condition 5A.3(ii)(b), where the specified currency of the principal
amount of Relevant Tier 2 Securities is not the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities,
ANZBGL may treat them as if converted into a single currency of ANZBGL's choice at
such rate of exchange as ANZBGL in good faith considers reasonable,
provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate Conversion or Write-
Off (as applicable) of the relevant Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes;
(iii) on the Trigger Event Date, ANZBGL shall determine the Subordinated Notes or portions thereof
as to which the Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) is to take effect and in making that
determination may make any decisions with respect to the identity of the Subordinated
Noteholders at that time as may be necessary or desirable to ensure Conversion or Write-Off (as
applicable) occurs in an orderly manner, including disregarding any transfers of Subordinated
Notes that have not been settled or registered at that time provided that such determination does
not impede or delay the immediate Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) of the relevant
Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes;
(iv) ANZBGL must give notice of its determination pursuant to Condition 5A.3(iii) (a "Trigger Event
Notice") as soon as practicable to the Subordinated Noteholders, which must specify:
(a) the Trigger Event Date;
(b) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes Converted or Written-Off (as
applicable); and
(c) the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant Securities converted or
written-off;
(v) none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion or Write-Off (as
applicable) of Subordinated Notes as required by Condition 5A.3(i):
(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 Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in complying with
the provisions of Condition 5A.4;
(d) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of Subordinated
Notes to be Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in accordance with Condition
5A.3(ii)(b) or 5A.3(iii); and
(e) in the case of Conversion only, any failure or delay in quotation of Ordinary Shares to
be issued on Conversion.
If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, ANZBGL must perform the obligations in respect of the
determination immediately on the day it is received by ANZBGL, whether or not such day is a Business
Day.
Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably authorises ANZBGL to sign any document or transfer or do
any other thing as may in ANZBGL’s opinion be necessary or desirable to effect any transfer of the
Subordinated Notes the subject of the Conversion.
5A.4 Conversion or Write-Off of a whole or of a portion of a Subordinated Note
If a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note is required to be Converted or Written-Off, the following
provisions apply:
(i) ANZBGL shall notify the Fiscal Agent (in the case of a Bearer Note) or the Registrar (in the case
of a Registered Note) of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note that has been
Converted or Written-Off (whether in whole or in part) and instruct the Fiscal Agent (in the case
of a Bearer Note) or the Registrar (in the case of a Registered Note) to reflect this Conversion

323



or Write-Off (as applicable) in any relevant form of note or certificate and the Register (as
applicable) so that the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note is reduced, in the case of a
Subordinated Note Converted or Written-Off in whole, to zero, or, in the case of a Subordinated
Note which is Converted or Written-Off in part, to an amount equal to the non-Converted or
non-Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note;
(ii) in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off only in part:
(a) where the date of the Conversion or Write-off is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount
of interest payable in respect of that Subordinated Note on each Interest Payment Date
falling after that date will be reduced and calculated on the Principal Amount of that
Subordinated Note as reduced on that date;
(b) for the purposes of any interest calculation, the Interest Amount, the Fixed Coupon
Amount, Broken Amount, the Calculation Amount and any related amount in respect of
that Subordinated Note shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal Amount
Converted or Written-Off in respect of that Subordinated Note bears to the Principal
Amount of that Subordinated Note before such Conversion or Write-Off;
(c) the Early Redemption Amount, the Final Redemption Amount, the Optional Redemption
Amount, the Specified Denomination and Principal Amount or any related amount shall
be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal Amount Converted or Written-Off in
respect of that Subordinated Note bears to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated
Note before such Conversion or Write-Off; and
(iii) if a definitive note or certificate has been issued to the relevant Subordinated Noteholder in respect
of such Subordinated Note, then, if ANZBGL so requires, such Subordinated Noteholder shall
surrender such definitive note or certificate to ANZBGL (or, if ANZBGL so directs, to the
Registrar) and, in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off only in part,
ANZBGL shall deliver to the Subordinated Noteholder, a new definitive note or certificate for a
Subordinated Note with a Principal Amount equal to the non-Converted or non-Written-Off (as
applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note.
5B. Conversion of Subordinated Notes
5B.1 Conversion of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date
Unless "Write-Off Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 5B shall apply
to the Subordinated Notes and, notwithstanding any other provision in these Conditions, on the Trigger
Event Date the relevant Principal Amount (as determined under Condition 5A.3) of the Subordinated
Notes will Convert immediately and irrevocably.
On and from the Trigger Event Date, subject to Conditions 5B.5 and 5B.6(iii)(c) ANZBGL and
ANZGHL shall treat any Subordinated Noteholder of any Subordinated Note 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.
5B.2 Provision of information
Where a Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is required to be Converted under Condition 5B, a
Subordinated Noteholder of such Subordinated Notes 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
Condition 5B.4(vii) applies, within 30 days of the date on which Ordinary Shares are issued upon such
Conversion), have provided to ANZBGL:
(i) 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;

324



(ii) the security account details of such Subordinated Noteholder 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
(iii) such other information as is reasonably requested by ANZBGL for the purposes of enabling
ANZGHL to issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to such Subordinated Noteholder,
and ANZBGL has no duty to seek or obtain such information.
5B.3 Failure to Convert
Subject to Condition 5B.4 and Condition 5B.5, if, in respect of a Conversion of Subordinated Notes,
ANZGHL fails to issue, on the Trigger Event Date, the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares in respect
of the relevant Principal Amount of such Subordinated Notes to, or in accordance with the instructions
of, the relevant Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event Date or any other nominee where
Condition 5B.4 applies, the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Notes which would otherwise be
subject to Conversion shall remain on issue and outstanding until:
(i) the Ordinary Shares are issued to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Subordinated
Noteholder of such Subordinated Notes; or
(ii) such Subordinated Notes are Written-Off in accordance with these Conditions;
provided, however, that the sole right of the Subordinated Noteholder in respect of Subordinated Notes
or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion is its right to be issued Ordinary Shares upon Conversion
(subject to its compliance with Condition 5B.2 or to receive the proceeds from their sale pursuant to
Condition 5B.4, as applicable) and the remedy of such Subordinated Noteholder in respect of ANZGHL's
failure to issue the Ordinary Shares is limited (subject always to Condition 5B.5) to seeking an order for
specific performance of ANZGHL's obligation to issue the Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated
Noteholder or where Condition 5B.4 applies to the nominee and to receive such proceeds of sale, in each
case, in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Notes. This Condition 5B.3 does not affect the
obligation of ANZGHL to issue the Ordinary Shares when required in accordance with these Conditions.
5B.4 Issue to nominee
If, in respect of a Subordinated Note and a Subordinated Noteholder of that Subordinated Note, the
Subordinated Note or portion thereof is required to be Converted and:
(i) the Subordinated Noteholder has notified ANZBGL 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;
(ii) the Subordinated Notes are held by a Subordinated Noteholder whose address in the register is a
place outside Australia or who ANZBGL otherwise believes may not be a resident of Australia (a
"Foreign Holder");
(iii) the holder of that Subordinated Note is a Clearing System Holder;
(iv) for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the Subordinated Noteholder) ANZBGL has not
received the information required by Condition 5B.2 prior to the Trigger Event Date and the lack
of such information would prevent ANZGHL from issuing the Ordinary Shares to the
Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event Date; or
(v) a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the Ordinary Shares issued on the
Conversion,
then, on the Trigger Event Date:
(vi) where Condition 5B.4(i), 5B.4(ii) or 5B.4(v) applies, ANZGHL shall issue the Ordinary Shares
to the Subordinated Noteholder only to the extent (if at all) that:

325



(a) where Condition 5B.4(i) applies, the Subordinated Noteholder has notified ANZBGL
that it wishes to receive them;
(b) where Condition 5B.4(ii) applies, ANZBGL 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 ANZBGL is not bound
to enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which ANZBGL
in its absolute discretion regards as acceptable and not unduly onerous; and
(c) where Condition 5B.4(v) applies, the issue is net of the FATCA Withholding;
and, to the extent ANZGHL is not obliged to issue Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated
Noteholder, ANZGHL will issue the balance of the Ordinary Shares to the nominee in
accordance with Condition 5B.4(vii); and
(vii) otherwise, subject to applicable law, ANZGHL will issue the balance of Ordinary Shares in
respect of the Subordinated Noteholder to a competent nominee (which may not be ANZBGL
or any of its Related Entities) and will promptly notify such Subordinated Noteholder 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 Condition 5B.4(vii)(b), the nominee will as soon as reasonably possible and
no later than 35 days after 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 Subordinated Noteholder;
(b) where Condition 5B.4(iii) or 5B.4(iv) applies, the nominee will hold such Ordinary
Shares and will transfer Ordinary Shares to such Subordinated Noteholder (or, where
paragraph (iii) applies, the person for whom the Clearing System Holder holds the
Subordinated Note) promptly after such Subordinated Noteholder provides the nominee
with the information required to be provided by such Subordinated Noteholder under
Condition 5B.2 (as if a reference in Condition 5B.2 to ANZBGL 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 Subordinated Note and failing which the nominee will sell the Ordinary Shares
and pay the proceeds to such Subordinated Noteholder in accordance with Condition
5B.4(vii)(a); and
(c) where Condition 5B.4(v) applies, the nominee shall deal with Ordinary Shares the
subject of a FATCA Withholding and any proceeds of their disposal in accordance with
FATCA;
(viii) nothing in this Condition 5B.4 shall affect the Conversion of the Subordinated Notes of a
Subordinated Noteholder who is not a person to which any of Condition 5B.4(i) to 5B.4(v)
(inclusive) applies; and
(ix) for the purposes of this Condition 5B.4, none of ANZBGL, ANZGHL or the nominee owes any
obligations or duties to the Subordinated Noteholders in relation to the price at which Ordinary
Shares are sold or has any liability for any loss suffered by a Subordinated Noteholder as a result
of the sale of Ordinary Shares.
5B.5 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes if Conversion is not effected within 5 Business Days after
a Trigger Event Date
Notwithstanding any other provision of Condition 5B and provided that "Write-Off – Applicable" is not
specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, where Subordinated Notes are required to be Converted on
the Trigger Event Date and Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes 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):

326



(i) the relevant Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note which, but for this Condition 5B.5,
would be Converted, will not be Converted and instead will be Written-Off with effect on and
from the Trigger Event Date; and
(ii) ANZBGL shall notify the Subordinated Noteholders as promptly as practically possible that
Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has not occurred and
that such Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has been Written-Off.
5B.6 Subordinated Noteholder acknowledgements

reduced to an amount equal to the non-Converted portion of the Principal Amount
of such Subordinated Note in accordance with Condition 5A.4; and

Principal Amount equal to the Converted portion of the Principal Amount of the

delay the Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes.

which provisions shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Approved NOHC Ordinary
Shares) of the Subordinated Note or portion thereof being Converted will be issued a

329



provisions of Schedule 1 to these Conditions shall apply (with any necessary changes) to
the determination of the number of such Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares;

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; and

that the number of Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after the
substitution differs from the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately before that
substitution (not involving any cash payment or other distribution to or by the holders of
any such shares), an adjustment to any relevant VWAP or Issue Date VWAP consistent

the holder, by transfer to an account denominated in that currency with, a bank in the Principal Financial
Centre for that currency; provided, however, that:

than final Instalment Amounts) on Registered Notes shall be paid to the person shown on the
Register at the close of business on the 15th day before the due date for payment thereof (the

States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make payment of the
amounts on the Notes in the manner provided above when due, (ii) payment in full of such amounts at
all such offices is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions on
payment or receipt of such amounts and (iii) such payment is then permitted by United States law, without

In addition, the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantor shall forthwith appoint a Paying Agent in New
York City in respect of any Bearer Notes denominated in U.S. dollars in the circumstances described in
Condition 6(c).
Notice of any such change or any change of any specified office shall promptly be given to the
Noteholders in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices).
(f) Unmatured Coupons and Receipts and Unexchanged Talons
(i) In the case of Fixed Rate Notes, Bearer Notes should be surrendered for payment together with
all unmatured Coupons (if any) appertaining thereto, failing which an amount equal to the face
value of each missing unmatured Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, that
proportion of the amount of such missing unmatured Coupon which the sum of principal so paid
bears to the total principal due) will be deducted from the Final Redemption Amount, Early
Redemption Amount or Optional Redemption Amount, as the case may be, due for payment. Any
amount so deducted will be paid in the manner mentioned above against surrender of such missing
Coupon within a period of 10 years from the Relevant Date for the payment of such principal
(whether or not such Coupon has become void pursuant to Condition 8 (Prescription)).
(ii) In the case of Floating Rate Notes or Range Accrual Notes, unless the Pricing Supplement
provides otherwise, upon the due date for redemption of any Bearer Note, unmatured Coupons
relating to such Note (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made
in respect of them.
(iii) Upon the due date for redemption of any Bearer Note, any Talon relating to such Note (whether
or not attached) shall become void and no Coupon shall be delivered in respect of such Talon.
(iv) Upon the due date for redemption of any Bearer Note which is redeemable in instalments, all
Receipts relating to such Note having an Instalment Date falling on or after such due date (whether
or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect of them.
(v) Where any Bearer Note which provides that the relative Coupons are to become void upon the
due date for redemption of those Notes is presented for redemption without all unmatured
Coupons and any unexchanged Talon relating to it, and where any Bearer Note is presented for
redemption without any unexchanged Talon relating to it, redemption shall be made only against
the provisions of such indemnity as the Issuer may require.

334



(vi) If the due date for redemption of any Notes is not a due date for payment of interest, interest
accrued from the preceding due date for payment of interest or the Interest Commencement Date,
as the case may be, shall only be payable against presentation (and surrender if appropriate) of the
relevant Note or Certificate representing it, as the case may be. Interest accrued on a Note which
only bears interest after its Maturity Date shall be payable on redemption of such Note against
presentation of the relevant Note or Certificate representing it, as the case may be.
(g) Talons
On or after the Interest Payment Date for the final Coupon forming part of a Coupon sheet issued in
respect of any Bearer Note, the Talon forming part of such Coupon sheet may be surrendered at the
specified office of the Fiscal Agent in exchange for a further Coupon sheet (and if necessary another
Talon for a further Coupon sheet) (but excluding any Coupons that may have become void pursuant to
Condition 8 (Prescription)).
(h) Non-Business Days
Subject in the case of any Subordinated Notes to Schedule 1 to these Conditions, if any date for payment
in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon is not a Payment Business Day, the holder shall not be entitled
to payment until (i) if "Following" is specified as the Payment Business Day Convention in the applicable
Pricing Supplement, the next following Payment Business Day or (ii), if "Modified Following" is
specified as the Payment Business Day Convention in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the next
following Payment Business Day unless that Payment Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in
which case the first preceding Payment Business Day. In this paragraph, "Payment Business Day"
means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which:
(i) commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments generally in such jurisdictions
as shall be specified as "Additional Financial Centres" in the Pricing Supplement, in London
and Sydney where ANZBGL is the Issuer, in London, Auckland and Wellington where ANZ Bank
New Zealand or ANZNIL is the Issuer and, where relevant, in the relevant place of presentation;
and
(ii) (in the case of a payment in a currency other than euro or Australian dollars where ANZBGL is
the Issuer, or New Zealand dollars where ANZ Bank New Zealand or, as the case may be,
ANZNIL is the Issuer, where payment is to be made by transfer in the relevant currency to an
account maintained with a bank) foreign exchange transactions may be carried on in the relevant
currency in the Principal Financial Centre of the country of such currency; or
(iii) (in the case of a payment in euro) banks are open for business and carrying out transactions in
euro in the jurisdiction in which the account specified by the payee is located and a day on which
the T2 System is open, unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement; and
(iv) in respect of Notes for which the Reference Rate specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement
is SOFR (Index Determination) or SOFR (Non-Index Determination), any weekday that is a U.S.
Government Securities Business Day and is not a legal holiday in New York and each (if any)
Additional Financial Centre(s) and is not a date on which banking institutions in those cities are
authorised or required by law or regulation to be closed.
(i) Euro and Redenomination
References to euro are to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and
monetary union pursuant to Article 123 of the Treaty.
Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement, Notes denominated in the currency (the "Relevant
Currency") of a Member State that does not participate in the third stage of European economic and
monetary union prior to the Issue Date of the relevant Notes may, at the election of the Issuer, be subject
to redenomination in the manner set out below. In relation to such Notes the Issuer may, without the
consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, on giving at least 30 days' prior notice to Noteholders, the
Fiscal Agent and each of the Paying Agents and Transfer Agents, designate a "Redenomination Date"
for the Notes, being a date for payment of interest under the Notes falling on or after the date on which
the relevant Member State commences participation in such third stage.

335



With effect from the Redenomination Date, notwithstanding the other provisions of the Conditions:
(i) the Notes shall (unless already so provided by mandatory provisions of applicable law) be deemed
to be redenominated in euro in the denomination of euro 0.01 with a principal amount for each
Note equal to the principal amount of that Note in the Relevant Currency, converted into euro at
the rate for conversion of the Relevant Currency into euro established by the Council of the
European Union pursuant to the Treaty (including compliance with rules relating to rounding in
accordance with European Community regulations) provided that, if the Issuer determines that
the then market practice in respect of the redenomination into euro 0.01 of internationally offered
securities is different from the provisions specified above, such provisions shall be deemed to be
amended so as to comply with such market practice and the Issuer shall promptly notify the
Noteholders, any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system on which the Notes
may be listed, the Fiscal Agent and each of the Paying Agents and Transfer Agents of such deemed
amendment;
(ii) if Notes in definitive form are required to be issued, they shall be issued at the expense of the
Issuer in the denominations of euro 0.01, euro 1,000, euro 10,000, euro 100,000 and such other
denominations as the Fiscal Agent shall determine and notify to Noteholders;
(iii) if Notes in definitive form have been issued, all unmatured Receipts and Coupons denominated
in the Relevant Currency (whether or not attached to the Notes) will become void with effect from
the date on which the Issuer gives the notice (the "Exchange Notice") that replacement euro-
denominated Notes, Receipts and Coupons are available for exchange (provided that such
securities are so available) and no payments will be made in respect of them. The payment
obligations contained in any Notes so issued will also become void on that date although those
Notes will continue to constitute valid exchange obligations of the Issuer. New certificates in
respect of euro-denominated Notes, Receipts and Coupons will be issued in exchange for Notes,
Receipts and Coupons denominated in the Relevant Currency in such manner as the Fiscal Agent
may specify and as shall be specified to Noteholders in the Exchange Notice;
(iv) all payments in respect of the Notes (other than, unless the Redenomination Date is on or after
such date as the Relevant Currency ceases to be a subdivision of the euro, payments of interest in
respect of periods commencing before the Redenomination Date) will be made solely in euro.
Such payments will be made in euro by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account
to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee or by cheque; and
(v) the amount of interest in respect of Notes will be calculated by reference to the aggregate principal
amount of Notes presented (or, as the case may be, in respect of which Receipts or Coupons are
presented) for payment by the relevant holder and the amount of such payment shall be rounded
down to the nearest euro 0.01.
In connection with such redenomination, the Issuer may, after consultation with the Fiscal Agent, make
such other changes to the Conditions applicable to the relevant Notes as it may decide so as to conform
them to the then market practice in respect of euro-denominated debt securities issued in the euromarkets
which are held in international clearing systems. Any such changes will not take effect until the next
following Interest Payment Date after they have been notified to the Noteholders in accordance with
Condition 14 (Notices).
(j) Payment of U.S. Dollar Equivalent in respect of CNY Notes
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by reason of Inconvertibility, Non transferability or Illiquidity, the
Issuer is not able to satisfy payments of principal or interest in respect of any Notes which are
denominated in Renminbi ("CNY Notes") when due in Renminbi in Hong Kong, the Issuer may, on
giving not less than five or more than 30 calendar days' irrevocable notice to the Noteholders prior to the
due date for payment, settle any such payment in U.S. dollars on the due date at the U.S. Dollar
Equivalent of any such Renminbi-denominated amount.

Subject as provided below, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes, the Receipts
and the Coupons by or on behalf of the Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantor shall be made free and clear
of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of
whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Issuer and/or, where the Issuer is acting through its branch outside its country of
incorporation, the jurisdiction, country or territory in which the branch through which the Issuer is acting
as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement is located or, if applicable, the jurisdiction of
incorporation of the Guarantor or by any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (together,
"Taxes"), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or made for or on account of FATCA.
Any amounts withheld pursuant to an agreement with a taxing authority will be treated as required by
law. In that event, the Issuer or (as the case may be) the Guarantor shall pay such additional amounts to
the Noteholders, Couponholders and Receiptholders as shall result in receipt by those Noteholders,
Couponholders and Receiptholders of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such
withholding or deduction been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with
respect to any Note, Receipt or Coupon:

338



(i) presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder which is liable to such Taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Note, Receipt or Coupon by reason of its

file number, Australian business number or other exemption details; or
(iii) presented (or in respect of which the Certificate representing it is presented) for payment more
than 30 days after the Relevant Date except to the extent that the holder of it would have been
entitled to such additional amounts on presenting it for payment on the 30
th
such day; or
(iv) in respect of which the holder thereof is an Offshore Associate of ANZBGL (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), where ANZBGL is the Issuer;
or
(v) in respect of which the Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the holder of such Note,
Receipt or Coupon being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid such Taxes, being a scheme
which ANZBGL, where ANZBGL is the Issuer, was neither a party to nor participated in; or
(vi) in respect of Bearer Notes only, if the holder of such Note, Receipt or Coupon or any entity which
directly or indirectly has an interest in or right in respect of such Note, Receipt or Coupon is a
resident of Australia, or a non-resident who is engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or
through a permanent establishment of that non-resident in Australia (the expressions "resident of
Australia", "non-resident" and "permanent establishment" having the meanings given to them
by the Australian Tax Act) if, and to the extent that, section 126 of the Australian Tax Act (or any
equivalent provisions) requires ANZBGL, where ANZBGL is the Issuer, to pay income tax in
respect of interest payable on such Note, Receipt or Coupon and the income tax would not be
payable were the holder or such entity not such a resident of Australia or non-resident; or
(vii) where such withholding or deduction is for or on account of New Zealand resident withholding
tax, where either ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL is the Issuer or ANZ Bank New Zealand
is the Guarantor; or
(viii) presented for payment by, or a third party on behalf of, a holder if such withholding or deduction
may be avoided by complying with any statutory requirement or by making a declaration of non-
residence or other similar claim for exemption to any authority of or in New Zealand, unless the
holder proves that he is not entitled so to comply or to make such declaration or claim, where
either ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL is the Issuer or ANZ Bank New Zealand is the
Guarantor; or
(ix) presented for payment by, or a third party on behalf of, a holder that is a partnership, or a holder
that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Note, Receipt or Coupon, or which holds the Note,
Receipt or Coupon, in a fiduciary capacity, to the extent that any of the members of the
partnership, the beneficial owner or the settlor or beneficiary with respect to the fiduciary would
not have been entitled to the payment of an additional amount had each of the members of the
partnership, the beneficial owner, settlor or beneficiary (as the case may be) received directly his
beneficial or distributive share of the payment; or
(x) presented for payment in New Zealand, where either ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL is the
Issuer or ANZ Bank New Zealand is the Guarantor; or
(xi) in respect of which the Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the holder of such Note,
Receipt or Coupon being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid such Taxes, being a scheme
which either ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, where ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL

339



is the Issuer, or ANZ Bank New Zealand, where ANZ Bank New Zealand is the Guarantor, was
neither a party to nor participated in; or
(xii) where such withholding or deduction is made for or on account of FATCA on payments to a
Noteholder, Couponholder, Receiptholder, beneficial owner, or any agent having custody or
control over a payment made by the Issuer, Guarantor or any agent in the chain of payment,
including due to the failure of the Noteholder, Couponholder, Receiptholder, beneficial owner, or
any agent having custody or control over a payment to comply with any requests for tax
certifications or other identifying information regarding such Noteholder, Couponholder,
Receiptholder, beneficial owner, or agent, or due to the failure to provide a waiver of any laws
prohibiting the disclosure of such certifications, identifying information and other information in
respect of the Notes to a taxing authority.
As used in these Conditions, "Relevant Date" in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon means the date
on which payment in respect of it first becomes due or (if any amount of the money payable is improperly
withheld or refused) the date on which payment in full of the amount outstanding is made or (if earlier)
the date seven days after that on which notice is duly given to the Noteholders that, upon further
presentation of the Note (or relative Certificate), Receipt or Coupon being made in accordance with the
Conditions, such payment will be made, provided that payment is in fact made upon such presentation.
References in these Conditions to (i) "principal" shall be deemed to include all Instalment Amounts,
Final Redemption Amounts, Early Redemption Amounts, Optional Redemption Amounts, Amortised
Face Amounts and all other amounts in the nature of principal payable pursuant to Condition 5
(Redemption, Purchase and Options) or any amendment or supplement to it, (ii) "interest" shall be
deemed to include all Interest Amounts and all other amounts payable pursuant to Condition 4 (Interest
and other Calculations) or any amendment or supplement to it and (iii) "principal" and/or "interest"
shall be deemed to include any additional amounts that may be payable under this Condition or any
undertaking given in addition to or substitution for it under the Agency Agreement. Any additional
amounts due in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in right of payment as described
in Condition 10 (Subordination).
The remaining provisions of this Condition only apply to ANZNIL where ANZNIL is the Issuer and to
ANZ Bank New Zealand where ANZ Bank New Zealand is the Issuer or the Guarantor. Where used in
the remaining provisions of this Condition, "interest" means interest (as defined under New Zealand
taxation legislation) for withholding tax purposes, which under current legislation includes the excess of
the redemption amount over the issue price of any Note as well as coupon interest paid on such Note.
Where (i) ANZNIL is the Issuer or (ii) ANZ Bank New Zealand is the Issuer or the Guarantor, and ANZ
Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, is required to deduct New Zealand non-resident
withholding tax in the case of any payments of interest to a holder of a Note or Coupon, ANZ Bank New
Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, may, and intend to (for so long as they do not incur any
increased cost or detriment from so doing), relieve themselves of such obligation by using a procedure
which permits borrowers such as ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, to reduce
the applicable rate of non-resident withholding tax to zero per cent. Under the current law, that procedure
involves ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, paying on their own respective
accounts a levy to the New Zealand revenue authorities (which is currently equal to two per cent. of such
payments of interest).
ANZ Bank New Zealand and ANZNIL are required by law to deduct New Zealand resident withholding
tax from the payment of interest to the holder of any Note on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity
Date, where:
(A) the Holder is (i) a resident of New Zealand for New Zealand income tax purposes, or (ii)
the Holder holds the notes for the purposes of a business the Holder carries on in New
Zealand, through a fixed establishment (as defined in the Income Tax Act 2007 (New
Zealand) in New Zealand, or (iii) the Holder is a registered bank engaged in business in
New Zealand through a fixed establishment (as defined in the Income Tax Act 2007
(New Zealand)) in New Zealand and is not associated with ANZ Bank New Zealand or
ANZNIL (as applicable) (each a "New Zealand Holder"); and

340



(B) at the time of such payment the New Zealand Holder does not hold "RWT-exempt status"
(as defined in the Income Tax Act 2007 (New Zealand)) in respect of New Zealand
resident withholding tax.
Prior to any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, any New Zealand Holder:
(A) must notify ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, that the New
Zealand Holder is the holder of a Note; and
(B) must notify ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, of any
circumstances, and provide ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be,
with any information that may enable ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case
may be, to make payment of interest to the New Zealand Holder without deduction on
account of New Zealand resident withholding tax.
The New Zealand Holder must notify ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, prior to
any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date, of any change in the New Zealand Holder's
circumstances from those previously notified that could affect the payment or withholding obligations of
ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, in respect of this Note. By accepting payment
of the full face amount of a Note or any interest thereon on any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity
Date, the New Zealand Holder indemnifies ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be,
for all purposes in respect of any liability ANZ Bank New Zealand or ANZNIL, as the case may be, may
incur for not deducting any amount from such payment on account of New Zealand resident withholding
tax.
Only a New Zealand Holder will be obliged to make the notification referred to above.
(b) Taxing Jurisdiction
If the Issuer or, if applicable, the Guarantor is, or becomes, subject at any time to any taxing
jurisdiction(s) other than or in addition to its own jurisdiction of incorporation or the jurisdiction, country
or territory in which the branch (if any) specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement is located, references
in Condition 5(b) and this Condition 7 shall be read and construed as including references to such other
taxing jurisdiction(s).
8. Prescription
Claims against the Issuer and, if applicable, the Guarantor for payment in respect of the Notes, Receipts
and Coupons (which, for this purpose, shall not include Talons) shall be prescribed and become void
unless made within 10 years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of interest) from the
appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them.
9. Events of Default
(a) Unsubordinated Notes
If any of the following events ("Events of Default") occurs and is continuing, the holder of any
Unsubordinated Note of any Series issued by the Issuer may give written notice to the Fiscal Agent at its
specified office that such Unsubordinated Note is immediately repayable, whereupon it shall immediately
become due and repayable at its Early Redemption Amount together with accrued interest to the date of
payment unless, prior to the date that such written notice is received by the Fiscal Agent, the Issuer
and/or, if applicable, the Guarantor shall have cured or otherwise made good all Events of Default in
respect of the Unsubordinated Notes of such Series:
(i) default is made in the payment of any principal or Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption
Amount, Optional Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Amortised Face Amount (in the
case of a Zero Coupon Note) (whether becoming due upon redemption or otherwise) when due,
in respect of any Unsubordinated Note of such Series, and such default continues for a period of
15 days or interest when due, in respect of any Unsubordinated Note of such Series, and such
default continues for a period of 30 days; or
