Request for trading halt: Westpac Banking Corporation (NZX Code: WBC)
We request a trading halt be applied to our financial products (ordinary shares (WBC)) under NZX Listing Rule
9.9.1(a) and set out below details of the request as per the rules of NZX.
We would like the trading halt to commence from the commencement of trading on NZX Main Board on Monday
3 November 2025, pending the release of Westpac’s 2025 Full Year Financial Results announcements in New
Zealand.
Reasons for trading halt, including impact of event on fair orderly or transparent markets: The trading
halt has been requested so that there is no trading in New Zealand before Westpac’s results are announced to
ASX. The trading halt is due to the requirement to receive confirmation from ASX prior to the release of
information to NZX. The trading halt can be lifted once Westpac’s 2025 Full Year Financial Results
announcements have been released on NZX.
How long we want the trading halt to last and why: If the trading halt is granted, we request that trading
resume once Westpac releases its 2025 Full Year Financial Results and related announcements on NZX. We
expect to release on ASX around 7:30 am – 7:45 am Sydney time (9:30 am – 9:45 am NZ time), and once the
announcements have been released on ASX, we will release on NZX.
The event we expect to happen that will end the trading halt: The release of Westpac’s 2025 Full Year
Financial Results and related announcements by NZX. Please end the trading halt after release of the
announcement titled ‘Westpac Pillar 3 Report (September 2025)’.
Other information necessary to inform the market about the trading halt or that NZ RegCo has
requested: None.
We confirm that we are not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted.
Yours sincerely
Tim Hartin
Company Secretary
