Express authorisations of

Chair of the Meeting

If you do not name a proxy in the Proxy

Form or your named proxy does not

register to attend the AGM, the Chair of

the Meeting will become your proxy by

default. If your named proxy registers to

attend the AGM but does not vote on a

poll in accordance with your instructions

on an Item, the Chair of the Meeting will

become your proxy for that Item. In this

case, the Chair of the Meeting must vote

your proxies in accordance with your

instructions on the Item.

If you appoint the Chair of the Meeting as

your proxy, or the Chair of the Meeting is

appointed as your proxy by default, and

you do not mark a voting box for the

resolutions in Items 3, 4 or 6, then by

submitting the proxy appointment you

expressly authorise the Chair of the

Meeting to exercise the proxy in respect

of the relevant Item as they decide, even

though the Item is connected with the

remuneration of one or more of the

Company’s KMP.

Undirected proxies

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote

undirected proxies (where appropriately

authorised, having regard to the Voting

Restrictions described previously) in favour

of the resolutions in items 2, 3 and 4 and

against the resolutions in items 5, 6, 7, 8

and 9 (where items 6, 7, 8 and 9 are put

to the Meeting).

Associates

The Voting Restrictions for item 4 apply to

“associates” of Mr Matos. The applicable

definitions of “associate” are set out in the

Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.

Entitlement to attend and vote

The Board has determined that, for the

purposes of the AGM (including voting

at the Meeting) shareholders are those

persons who are the registered holders of

the Company’s shares at 7:00pm (Sydney

Time) on Tuesday, 17 December 2025.

Holders of the Company’s ordinary

shares may vote on all items of business,

subject to the Voting Restrictions

described previously.

Voting by proxy

A shareholder who is entitled to attend

and cast a vote at the AGM may appoint a

proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder.

A person can appoint an individual or

a body corporate as a proxy. If a body

corporate is appointed as a proxy, it must

ensure that it appoints a corporate

representative in accordance with section

250D of the Corporations Act to exercise

its powers as proxy at the AGM.

A shareholder who is entitled to cast 2 or

more votes may appoint up to 2 proxies

and may specify the proportion or number

of votes each proxy is appointed to

exercise. If the appointment does not

Item 3 – Adoption of the

Remuneration Report

As required by the Corporations Act, the

Board presents the Remuneration Report

for the financial year ended 30 September

2025, to shareholders for consideration

and adoption by a non-binding vote.

The Remuneration Report contains:

• information about Board policy for

determining the nature and amount of

remuneration of the Company’s

Directors and most senior executives;

• a description of the relationship

between the remuneration policies, and

the Company’s performance;

• remuneration details for KMP (including

the Directors of the Company) for the

period ended 30 September 2025; and

• this year, sets out the actions taken by

ANZ in response to the ‘first strike’

received at the 2024 AGM.

The Remuneration Report, which is part

of the 2025 Annual Report, can be found

on the Company’s website at anz.com/

annualreport or can be obtained by

contacting the Company’s Share

Registrar, Computershare.

At last year’s Annual Meeting, ANZ received

a first strike on its Remuneration Report.

As a result, the Board has consulted

broadly with shareholders and other

stakeholders to understand the concerns

that led to the first strike. The Board has

outlined its response, including actions

taken, in this year’s Remuneration Report.

Shareholders should note that while the

vote on Item 3 is advisory only, if 25% or

more of the votes cast on this item are

‘against’ adopting the Company’s

Remuneration Report, Item 6 (conditional

Board spill meeting resolution) will be put

to the meeting. The operation and

consequences of the conditional Board

spill meeting resolution are set out in the

additional notes to Item 6 below.

Board Recommendation: The Board

considers that the remuneration policies

adopted by the Company are

appropriately structured to provide

rewards that are commensurate with the

Company’s performance and competitive

with the external market. On this basis, the

Board recommends that shareholders

eligible to do so vote in favour of the

resolution in item 3.

Item 4 – Grant of restricted

rights and performance rights

to Mr N Matos

The Company is asking shareholders to

approve the proposed grant of restricted

rights and performance rights to the

Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

and Executive Director, Mr Nuno Matos,

under the ANZ Share Option Plan on the

terms and conditions set out below. The

proposed grant is part of Mr Matos’ 2026

variable remuneration and includes a ‘top

up’ in recognition of his commencement

1. Deferral period = performance period + holding period.

as CEO in 2025, noting that Mr Matos did

not receive a 2025 Long Term Variable

Remuneration (LTVR) award.

LTVR is structured to provide material

weight to non-financial measures in line

with APRA’s Prudential Standard CPS 511

Remuneration, with delivery as 50% LTVR

restricted rights (prior to the pre grant

assessment) and 50% LTVR

performance rights.

Following completion of the 2026 LTVR pre

grant assessment, the Board determined

that Mr Matos’ LTVR will be delivered as:

• 50% LTVR restricted rights – with a pre

vest assessment of non-financial

measures; and

• 50% LTVR performance rights – with

forward looking total shareholder return

performance hurdles where:

–75% will be measured against the

Relative Total Shareholder Return

(RTSR) of the Select Financial Services

(SFS) comparator group; and

–25% will be measured against

the compound annual growth rate

of Absolute Total Shareholder

Return (ATSR).

At a glance:

• 2026 LTVR, delivered in the form of 50%

restricted rights and 50% performance

rights, with a combined current face

value LTVR opportunity of A$4,691,250

100% of full opportunity (which equates

to the sum of 135% of fixed

remuneration for 2026 and 53% of fixed

remuneration for the 2025 ‘top up’

relating to the time since

commencement as CEO, as previously

disclosed on announcement of

appointment and update on

CEO transition).

• 2026 LTVR will be deferred over four

to six years with a two-year exercise

period post the end of the relevant

deferral period

1

.

• The restricted rights:

–have been subject to a pre grant

assessment by the Board which

determined that the restricted rights

award should be made at 100% of

full opportunity; and

–will be subject to a pre vest assessment

by the Board of non-financial measures

at the end of the performance period to

determine whether the restricted rights

should vest in full.

10ANZ 2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
• The performance rights:

–75% will be subject to a RTSR

performance condition which

compares ANZ’s TSR performance

against the SFS comparator group,

with nil vesting below median, 50%

vesting at median (i.e., threshold), and

increasing to 100% vesting at the

75th percentile of the SFS comparator

group;

–25% will be subject to an ATSR

performance condition which

measures ANZ’s compound annual

growth rate of ATSR performance

achieving or exceeding ANZ’s

weighted average cost of capital

(WACC) over the four-year

performance period, with nil vesting

below the threshold target, 50%

vesting at the threshold target, and

increasing to 100% at the full vesting

target (i.e., 150% of threshold target).

• The performance conditions for both

restricted rights and performance rights

are assessed at the end of the four-year

performance period (with no retesting).

The four-year performance period

commences on 1 October 2025 and

ends four years later on 30 September

2029.

• Holding periods apply at the end of the

four-year performance period (to the

extent the restricted rights and

performance rights meet the relevant

performance conditions). The holding

period commences the day after the

end of the four-year performance

period and finishes on the fourth, fifth

or sixth anniversary of grant.

• The deferral period is the sum of the

four-year performance period and the

applicable holding period.

In more detail:

Each restricted right and each

performance right is a right to acquire an

ordinary fully paid share in the Company at

nil cost (i.e., nil exercise price), subject to

meeting the applicable time and

performance conditions. To the extent the

performance conditions are met, the

relevant number of restricted rights and

performance rights will be eligible to vest

on the fourth, fifth and sixth anniversary of

grant (vesting dates) as described below.

Upon vesting the Board will determine

whether to settle the restricted rights and

performance rights with ANZ shares or by

payment of a cash equivalent amount.

Mr Matos’ entitlement to the restricted

rights and performance rights and to any

shares/cash equivalent payment will be

subject to:

• the Board’s on-going discretion to

adjust downward (including to zero) the

number of restricted rights and/or

performance rights if the Board

considers such a reduction to be

necessary or appropriate (see further

below); and

• the terms of the grant, including rules

concerning treatment on termination of

employment or on a change of control

referred to below.

Mr Matos will not be entitled to trade,

transfer or otherwise deal in (including by

entering into any hedging arrangements in

respect of) any restricted rights or

performance rights, or any entitlement to

shares or cash equivalent payment, prior

to vesting.

If the Board determines to settle the

restricted rights and/or performance rights

in shares each restricted right/

performance right entitles Mr Matos to

one ANZ ordinary share which will rank

equally with shares in the same class,

subject to any adjustments in accordance

with the Listing Rules and the rules of the

Plan. Mr Matos is not required to pay any

amount on grant of the restricted rights

and performance rights, nor on vesting.

The restricted rights and performance

rights form part of Mr Matos’ ‘at risk’

remuneration.

Restricted rights and performance rights

granted under the ANZ Share Option Plan

do not carry any voting rights prior to

vesting. A dividend equivalent payment

(DEP) is paid in cash at the end of the

relevant deferral period, but is only made

to the extent that all or part of the

underlying rights actually vest. Dividend

equivalents accrue only on rights that

meet the performance condition and

actually vest, and accrue over the full

deferral period for restricted rights, and

only during the holding period for

performance rights.

If approval is obtained, it is the intention

of the Board that the restricted rights and

performance rights will be granted to

Mr Matos on 18 December 2025 (but, in

any event, not more than 12 months after

the date of this AGM).

Grant value and calculation of the

number of restricted rights and

performance rights to be granted

The Board believes that the proposed grant

of LTVR restricted rights and performance

rights is an important part of Mr Matos’

remuneration as it reinforces the CEO’s

focus on achieving longer term strategic

objectives, driving outperformance relative

to peers and creating long term sustained

value for all stakeholders. The grant of

restricted rights and performance rights

means that the actual value (if any) of

shares Mr Matos will receive from this grant

is not determined until the end of the four,

five and six year deferral periods and will

depend on the extent to which the

performance conditions are achieved

and the ANZ share price at the time of

exercising the rights.

Using a face value allocation methodology,

the number of restricted rights and

performance rights proposed to be

granted to Mr Matos has been determined

by firstly dividing the full LTVR opportunity

by two and applying the pre grant

assessment to 50% of the full opportunity

to determine the restricted rights award

value. The remaining 50% of the full

opportunity determines the performance

rights award value. This results in the

current face value LTVR opportunity of

A$4,691,250.

• The restricted rights award value (i.e.,

A$2,345,625) has then been split into

three tranches (33% ~4 year deferral,

33% ~5 year deferral and 34% ~6 year

deferral) and then divided by the volume

weighted average price (VWAP) of

ANZGHL shares traded on the ASX in

the five trading days up to and including

1 October 2025, i.e., the start of the

four-year performance period – which

was A$33.06. This has determined the

actual number of restricted rights for

each tranche of restricted rights,

as follows:

• The performance rights award value

(i.e., A$2,345,625) has been split into

two parts:

–those rights subject to the RTSR

performance condition (75% /

A$1,759,219) and

–those rights subject to the ATSR

performance condition (25% /

A$586,406).

• Each part is then split into three

tranches (33% ~4 year deferral, 33% ~5

year deferral and 34% ~6 year deferral)

and then divided by the same five-day

VWAP (as used to calculate the number

of restricted rights) A$33.06. This has

Restricted rights

Restricted rights will be subject to a

pre vest assessment to be conducted by

the Board after expiry of the four-year

performance period. The pre vest

assessment will take into consideration

any adjustments applied for the same

event/outcomes in either the current or

prior years (i.e., adjustments to STVR and

LTVR, malus and clawback), to ensure the

overall impact is fair and proportionate to

the severity of the outcome.

The restricted rights pre vest

assessment consists of a three-step

process which considers, over the

four-year performance period:

1. Prudential soundness;

• Nil award if ANZ does not meet capital

ratio and liquidity prudential minimums.

2. Risk measures;

• Consideration of any Material Risk

Outcomes from executive actions or

inactions which are expected to/or

have resulted in significant impacts.

• Consideration of any significant

adverse change in APRA’s Active

Supervision level.

• Consideration of Risk Culture that

examines whether or not ANZ has

maintained (or made progress towards)

a sound risk culture, considering both

executive actions or inactions.

3. Apply Board discretion.

• Board to determine whether any

reduction should be made to the

restricted rights outcome based on

consideration of a range of factors,

including:

–the outcomes from steps 1 and 2

above;

–the impact, if any, of the issue/s

on ANZ’s reputation/standing in

the market;

–whether the issue was specific

to ANZ, the banking industry or

the broader market;

–any impacts already applied (e.g.,

regarding downward adjustment

mechanisms, pre grant assessment

impact to restricted rights);

–whether any impact should be made

on an individual or collective basis.

The assessment is not intended to be

formulaic given the circumstances

requiring the application of Board

discretion will typically be different or

unique, however a Board decision

making framework is in place to guide

the Board in applying discretion.

Performance conditions

Restricted rights and performance rights will have a four-year performance period and a further holding period – these periods

combined are the total deferral period. The rights may vest after expiry of the holding period, as follows:

Performance rights –

Relative TSR (RTSR)

75% of the performance rights will be

subject to a TSR hurdle which ranks the

TSR performance of the Company with

the TSR performance of the Select

Financial Services (SFS) comparator group.

The SFS comparator group includes the

Bank of Queensland Limited, Bendigo and

Adelaide Bank Limited, Commonwealth

Bank of Australia Limited, Macquarie

Group Limited, National Australia Bank

Limited, Standard Chartered PLC and

Westpac Banking Corporation. The Board

may vary the comparator group from time

to time if it considers it appropriate to do

so, for example, to take account of any

constituent company ceasing to be listed.

Broadly, TSR is the growth in share price,

plus the value of the dividends and

distributions on the relevant shares. The

proportion of performance rights that will

become exercisable will depend on the

Company’s TSR relative to the TSR of the

constituent companies in the SFS

comparator group at the end of the

four-year performance period.

The level of performance required for each

level of vesting, and the percentage of

performance rights that will become

eligible to vest at each level of

performance, is set out in the table below.

The performance rights lapse if the

applicable performance condition is not

met. There is no re-testing.

Performance rights – Absolute TSR

(ATS R)

25% of the performance rights will be

subject to an ATSR hurdle with targets

as outlined below.

ANZ has utilised an LTVR ATSR

performance metric since 2015. This is an

internal hurdle focused on ANZ achieving

or exceeding a threshold level of growth

that is set by the Board at the start of the

performance period. The Board reviews

and approves the ATSR targets for each

performance rights award. When

determining the targets, the Board

references ANZ’s weighted average cost

of capital (WACC).

ANZ updated its ATSR model from the

2024 award to reflect a dynamic (rather

than a static) target for cost of capital.

The TSR hurdle is now based on the

WACC over the four-year performance

period. Therefore, the ATSR target will be

adjusted on a time weighted basis unless

the Board applies discretion not to adjust.

Any WACC changes approved by the

Board throughout the performance period

are prospective only (i.e., reflect current

market factors) and will form part of the

dynamic ATSR target calculation. This

approach further strengthens executive

and shareholder alignment as the target

is more responsive to future changes in

both the interest rate cycle and ANZ’s risk

profile. This only applies to awards from

2024 (no impact to prior awards).

The ATSR is measured over the same

four-year performance period and the

proportion of performance rights that

will become exercisable will depend upon

the Company’s ATSR at the end of the

four-year performance period compared

to the targets approved by the Board.

The level of performance required for each

level of vesting, and the percentage of

performance rights that vest at each level

of performance, is based on the WACC

over the four-year performance period.

The Board will review and approve any

changes to the cost of capital on a

quarterly basis throughout the

performance period, based on the output

from the Capital Asset Pricing Model

(CAPM) methodology (which takes into

consideration the risk-free bond rate, the

market risk premium and the beta – i.e.,

the volatility of ANZ’s historical share price

relative to the market). The Board will also

approve the level of vesting (if any) at the

end of performance period based on the

WACC. The performance rights lapse if

the performance condition is not met.

There is no re-testing.

The Board retains discretion to adjust the

ATSR hurdle in exceptional circumstances

to ensure that Mr Matos is neither

advantaged nor disadvantaged by

matters outside management’s control

that materially affect achievement of the

ATSR performance condition.

If the ATSR of the

company:

The percentage of

performance rights

which will vest is:

Does not reach the

threshold

0%

Reaches the

threshold (currently

10%)

50%

Exceeds the

threshold but does

not reach the full

vesting level (i.e.

150% of threshold)

Progressive

pro-rata vesting

between 50%

and 100% (on a

straight line basis)

Reaches or

exceeds 150% of

threshold (currently

15%)

100%

Note, based on the cost of capital at the

start of the performance period, the ATSR

threshold is 10% and the full vesting level

is based on a ATSR of 15%; however this

may be subject to change based on the

WACC over the performance period

unless the Board exercises discretion

to set it otherwise.

Downward adjustment –

Board discretion

The Board retains an on-going and

absolute discretion to:

• apply further deferral or freeze the

vesting of restricted rights and

performance rights;

• apply malus (an adjustment to reduce

the value of part or all of the restricted

rights and performance rights before

they have vested); and

• apply clawback (the recovery of

restricted rights and performance rights

which have already vested).

This discretion may be exercised, for

example, where the Board considers this

is necessary to protect the financial

soundness of ANZ or to meet regulatory

requirements, or there has been a material

failure of risk management or controls

within ANZ.

Accordingly, before the scheduled vesting

of any restricted rights and performance

rights the Board considers whether any

further deferral/freezing or malus should

be applied, and also considers whether

clawback should be applied during the

applicable clawback period.

Treatment on termination

of employment

Unless the Board determines otherwise, if:

• Mr Matos resigns prior to the vesting

date the restricted rights and

performance rights will lapse;

• Mr Matos’ employment is terminated by

ANZ

2

with notice, except as set out

below in relation to ‘good leaver’

termination, all unvested restricted rights

and performance rights as at the ‘full

notice termination date’

3

will lapse;

• Mr Matos’ employment is terminated

by ANZ for misconduct with notice,

all unvested restricted rights and

performance rights will lapse on

cessation of employment. If Mr Matos’

employment is terminated by ANZ for

serious misconduct without notice, all

vested (but unexercised) and unvested

restricted rights and performance rights

will lapse on cessation of employment; or

• Mr Matos ceases employment in

circumstances of death or total and

permanent disability, the performance

conditions will be waived and all

unvested restricted rights and

performance rights will vest

on cessation.

In certain circumstances termination may

be classified by the Board as a ‘good

leaver’. In such a case, unless the Board

determines otherwise, the restricted rights

and performance rights held by Mr Matos

will remain on-foot and, where and to the

extent the Board determines the

applicable performance condition is met,

the relevant number of restricted rights

and performance rights will be eligible to

vest on their applicable vesting date

4

.

On vesting, the Board may determine to

settle the relevant restricted rights and/or

performance rights with a cash equivalent

payment, rather than with shares.

Treatment on change of control

Where a change of control occurs, which

includes a person acquiring a relevant

interest in at least 50% of the Company’s

ordinary shares as a result of a takeover

bid, or other similar event, the applicable

performance conditions applying to the

restricted rights and performance rights

will be tested and the restricted rights and

performance rights will become eligible to

vest based on the extent the performance

conditions are satisfied. In such a case the

performance period will be taken to end at

a time (being no later than the final date on

which the change of control event will

occur) determined by the Board. No pro

rata reduction in vesting will occur, and

vesting will only be determined by the

extent to which the relevant performance

conditions are satisfied over the adjusted

performance period.

Any restricted rights and/or performance

rights which vest based on satisfaction of

the performance conditions over the

adjusted performance period will vest at

a time (being no later than the final date

on which the change of control event will

occur) determined by the Board. If

applicable law or APRA requirements

prevent vesting at this time, the Board may

determine a later time that complies with

applicable law or APRA requirements and/

or that any consideration that is received

must be deferred until the expiry of that

later time.

Any restricted rights and/or performance

rights that remains unvested will lapse with

effect from the date of the change of

control event occurring, unless the Board

determines otherwise.

Other information

The proposed grant of restricted rights

and performance rights to Mr Matos, a

director of the Company, falls within Listing

Rule 10.14.1 and, therefore, requires the

approval of the Company’s shareholders

under Listing Rule 10.14. Mr Matos is the

only Director entitled to participate in the

ANZ Share Option Plan. No associate of

any Director is entitled to participate.

Item 4 therefore seeks the required

shareholder approval to the grant under

and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If the resolution in item 4 is passed,

the Company will be able to proceed

with the grant as described in these

Explanatory Notes.

In the event that shareholders do not

approve the grant of restricted rights and

performance rights, the restricted rights

and performance rights would not be

granted and the Board would review the

feedback from shareholders to clearly

understand why the resolution was not

supported. The Board sees LTVR as a very

important component of Mr Matos’ total

remuneration package, and the Board

would look to review the structure (each

of the elements) of the CEO’s total

remuneration package to determine

appropriate alternative remuneration.

Mr Matos’ current total remuneration

package is comprised of:

• Fixed Remuneration (FR) of

A$2,500,000 (inclusive of

superannuation) per annum;

• Short Term Variable Remuneration

(STVR) of up to 100% of FR (maximum

opportunity); and

• Long Term Variable Remuneration

(LTVR) of up to the sum of 135% of FR

for 2026, and for 2026 only 53% of FR

for the 2025 ‘top up’ relating to the time

since commencement as CEO (full

opportunity).

Shareholders are referred to the 2025

Remuneration Report published in the

Company’s 2025 Annual Report for further

details of Mr Matos’ remuneration.

As CEO and a director of the Company,

Mr Matos has been granted a total of zero

restricted rights and, zero performance

rights under the ANZ Share Option Plan.

No amount is payable by Mr Matos at

grant or on vesting for restricted rights

and/or performance rights.

There is no loan scheme in relation to

restricted rights and/or performance rights

(or the shares underlying them).

For the settlement of restricted rights and

performance rights on vesting, shares

may be issued or acquired on market, or

the Board may determine to settle the

restricted rights and/or performance rights

with a cash equivalent amount.

Details of any securities issued under the

ANZ Share Option Plan will be published in

the Company’s Annual Report relating to

the period in which they were issued,

along with a statement that approval for

the issue was obtained under Listing Rule

10.14. Any additional persons covered by

Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to

participate in an issue of securities under

the ANZ Share Option Plan after the

resolution on item 4 is approved and who

are not named in this Notice of Meeting

will not participate until approval is

obtained under that Listing Rule or unless

an exception applies.

Under section 200B of the Corporations

Act, a company may only give a person a

benefit in connection with their ceasing to

hold a managerial or executive office in the

company or a related body corporate if it

is approved by shareholders under section

200E or an exemption applies. Mr Matos

holds such an office. The term ‘benefit’

has a wide operation and could include

the early vesting of the restricted rights

and/or performance rights as

contemplated above or otherwise

under the ANZ Share Option Plan.

2. ‘ANZ’ means Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, the employing entity. 3. ‘Full notice termination date’ means the date of cessation of employment or, if later, the date

on which cessation of employment would have occurred but for any payment made in lieu of notice. 4. Where ‘good leaver’ criteria are satisfied Mr Matos must also agree to enter into a

separation agreement with ANZ.

14ANZ 2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
Accordingly, shareholder approval is also

sought for the purpose of section 200E of

the Corporations Act to allow vesting of

restricted rights and performance rights

and settlement of them with shares or a

cash equivalent payment upon Mr Matos

ceasing employment (as summarised

under “Treatment on termination of

employment” above), including where to

do so would involve the giving of a ‘benefit’

to Mr Matos in connection with him

ceasing to hold a managerial or executive

office. The approval is sought in relation to

the restricted rights and performance

rights proposed to be granted to Mr Matos

under item 4 in this Notice of Meeting.

If shareholder approval is obtained, the

value of the approved termination benefits

in this resolution will be disregarded when

calculating Mr Matos’ termination benefits

cap for the purpose of subsection 200F(2)

(b) or subsection 200G(1)(c) of the

Corporations Act.

The value of any benefit relating to the

restricted rights and performance rights

given in connection with Mr Matos ceasing

to hold managerial or executive office

cannot presently be ascertained. However,

matters, events and circumstances that

will, or are likely to, affect the calculation

of that value are:

• the number of restricted rights and

performance rights held by Mr Matos

prior to cessation of employment;

• the circumstances of or reasons for

Mr Matos’ cessation of employment

(see ‘Treatment on termination of

employment’ above);

• the result of any pro rating on cessation

of employment;

• any other factors that the Board

determines to be relevant when

exercising its discretions;

• whether performance hurdles are

waived or (if not waived) met, and the

number of restricted rights and

performance rights that vest (which

could be all of the restricted rights and

performance rights held by Mr Matos);

• whether the restricted rights and/or

performance rights are settled in ANZ

shares or by payment of a cash

equivalent amount; and

• the market price of ANZ shares on ASX

on the date shares are provided to Mr

Matos upon vesting of the restricted

rights and performance rights or, if the

Board decides to settle the restricted

rights and/or performance rights by

payment of a cash equivalent amount,

in the five trading days up to (and

including) the date of vesting.

Under the rules of the ANZ Share Option

Plan, the Board has discretion to adjust

the rules of the Plan and awards granted

under it. If the Company makes a bonus

issue, or rights issue, or undertakes a

re-organisation, the number of restricted

rights and performance rights granted to

Mr Matos or their terms may be adjusted

under the Plan as required by the Listing

Rule or to address any material advantage

or disadvantage that may occur (subject

to any appliable ASX Listing Rule

requirements). Any such adjustments

would be explained in the Company’s

next Annual Report issued following

the adjustment.

Board Recommendation: The Board

considers that the proposed granting of

restricted rights and performance rights

on the terms above is appropriate and is in

the best interests of the Company and its

shareholders, as the grant strengthens the

alignment of Mr Matos’ interests with

shareholders, and the performance rights

provide a strong link between the reward

for Mr Matos’ performance and total

shareholder returns over the next four

to six year period.

The Board also considers that obtaining

shareholder approval to allow restricted

rights and performance rights to vest

upon Mr Matos ceasing employment in

accordance with the Conditions of Grant,

as described above, is appropriate and in

the best interests of the Company and its

shareholders. It will provide the Company

with the ability to ensure its ongoing

compliance with section 200B of the

Corporations Act and with the Conditions

of Grant for the restricted rights and

performance rights.

Accordingly, the Board (with Mr Matos

abstaining) recommends that

shareholders eligible to do so vote in

favour of the resolution in item 4.

Item 5 – special resolution

requisitioned by members

– amend the Company’s

Constitution (non-board

endorsed item)

Two groups of shareholders have

requisitioned resolutions under section

249N of the Corporations Act. The

Company has included those proposed

resolutions as items 5, 7, 8 and 9 in this

Notice of Meeting.

These resolutions are not endorsed by

the Board.

The same groups of shareholders

have also requested, under section

249P of the Corporations Act, that

the Company provides statements

prepared by them to shareholders

about these proposed resolutions.

The statements can be found in the

Appendix to this Notice of Meeting.

By including these statements in this

Notice of Meeting, the Company does

not make any representations as to the

truth or accuracy of their contents and

disclaims all liability for them.

There are a number of statements

included in the Appendix to this Notice

of Meeting with which we do not agree.

However, ANZ will further engage with

those groups to seek a better

understanding of their perspectives and

identify areas in which ANZ could enhance

its disclosures or strategy in the future.

Reasons why the Board

recommends that Shareholders

vote against item 5

The Board respects shareholders’ rights

to voice their opinions and to propose

changes to the Company’s Constitution;

however, the Board does not consider the

proposed amendment to the Company’s

Constitution to be in shareholders’ best

interests. Accordingly, the Board

recommends that shareholders

vote against it.

Shareholders currently have several

established channels to engage with

the Company and share their feedback,

concerns, or issues. These avenues

include direct communication with our

dedicated Investor Relations and ESG

teams on sustainability topics,

participation in general Company

meetings – where they can ask or submit

questions – distributing members’

statements in accordance with the

Corporations Act, and making choices

regarding the election or re-election of

Directors and other resolutions. Notably,

shareholders already possess a legal right

to propose resolutions at the Company’s

general meetings.

In addition to these avenues, the

Company routinely interacts with

shareholders and other stakeholders to

gain insights into their varied viewpoints

on the Company’s activities.

This includes senior executives and, where

appropriate Directors, meeting with

shareholders and special interest groups

to seek their views on matters affecting

the Company and communities in which

we operate.

15
The Company operates in 29 countries

across a complex financial services

landscape. The Board, as outlined by

both the law and the Company’s

Constitution, is responsible for overseeing

the business of the Company, and the

Company’s governance structures have

been designed to facilitate that line of

sight. It is important that the Board has

clear authority to make decisions in the

best interests of the Company and

shareholders as a whole by exercising

business judgment about the business

and affairs of the Company. The Board

is concerned that the proposed

constitutional amendment could cause

general meetings to be dominated by

special interest resolutions focused on

single issues and adversely affect the

ability of other shareholders to be heard

on issues relevant to them.

The Board does not believe that the

constitutional amendment proposed will

improve the ability for shareholders as a

whole to provide feedback on how the

Company is managed.

Board Recommendation: Having regard

to the matters set out above, the Board

does not consider the proposed resolution

to be in the best interests of the Company

and shareholders as a whole. Therefore,

the Board recommends that shareholders

vote against the proposed resolution in

item 5.

Item 6 – Spill Resolution

(conditional item)

The resolution in item 6 is a “conditional

resolution”. It will be put to the Meeting

only if 25% or more of the votes validly

cast on the adoption of the Remuneration

Report (item 3) are against the adoption of

the Report, i.e., if a “second strike” is

received. A “first strike” was received in

relation to the adoption of last year’s

Remuneration Report, with a 38.28% vote

against the adoption of that Report.

If the resolution in item 6 is put to the

vote at the Annual General Meeting and

passed, then it will be necessary for the

Board to convene another general

meeting of the Company (“Spill

Meeting”) within 90 days after the

Annual General Meeting.

At the Spill Meeting, all the Directors of the

Company who were in office when the

Board resolution to approve the

Company’s 2025 Directors’ Report was

passed (7 November 2025), other than

the Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr

Matos, will automatically vacate office at

the conclusion of the Spill Meeting unless

they stand for re-election and are

re-elected at the Spill Meeting. The

Directors who were in office when the

Board resolution to approve the

Company’s 2025 Directors’ Report was

passed (other than Mr Matos) are:

Mr Paul O’Sullivan

Ms Alison Gerry

Mr Richard Gibb

Ms Holly Kramer

Ms Christine O’Relly

Mr Jeffrey Smith

Mr Scott St John

If the resolution in item 6 is put to, and

passed at, the 2025 Annual General

Meeting, Ms Gerry and Messrs O’Sullivan

and Smith would need to be re-elected at

the Spill Meeting even if they are elected

or re-elected (as applicable) at the 2025

Annual General Meeting.

The Spill Meeting, if required, would be

subject to a separate notice of meeting in

accordance with the Constitution of the

Company and the Corporations Act.

Shareholders will have an opportunity to

comment on or ask questions about the

conditional spill resolution if it is put to the

Meeting.

Reasons why the Board recommends

that shareholders vote against item 6 if it

is put to the Meeting.

The Board considers the following factors

to be relevant to shareholders’ decisions

on how to vote on this item:

• the Board’s actions to address the

concerns expressed by shareholders in

relation to remuneration issues, including:

–increased and more effective

disclosure in the 2025 Remuneration

Report in relation to the assessment

of executive performance;

significant accountability and

consequences applied to the

remuneration awarded, and equity

vesting, to current and former

executives in the 2025 Financial Year,

as set out in the 2025 Remuneration

Report; and

–the significant disruption to the

Company and its operations involved

in convening and holding a Spill

Meeting within 90 days of this

Annual General Meeting.

Board Recommendation: Having regard to

the matters set out above, the Board does

not consider the proposed resolution to be

in the best interests of the Company and

its shareholders. Therefore, the Board

recommends that shareholders eligible

to do so vote against item 6.

Items 7 and 8 – resolutions

requisitioned by members

– Disclosure of Financed

Deforestation and Strategy

to Eliminate Financed

Deforestation (conditional,

non-board endorsed items)

The resolutions are advisory resolutions.

The resolutions are not endorsed by

the Board.

The resolutions in items 7 and 8 will be

proposed to the Meeting only if the

resolution in item 5 is passed by the

requisite majority.

Reasons why the Board

recommends that shareholders

vote against items 7 and 8 if

they are put to the AGM

ANZ recognises the importance of, and

links between, climate and nature, as

reflected in our Climate and Environment

Strategy. We acknowledge the

contribution we can make by working

with our customers to understand their

approach to managing nature risks and

opportunities. This encompasses risks

and impacts relating to deforestation,

which we consider within our broader

nature risk management approach.

We are seeking to deepen our

understanding of the impacts and

dependencies our customers face in

relation to nature and biodiversity, as

well as their strategies to mitigate and

manage these risks, through ongoing

customer engagement.

Nature has been part of our discussions

with some of our largest emitting business

customers since 2021. Building on

previous years’ work, this year we ran a

two-tiered nature approach. This involved

gathering information about customers in

our Large Emitters Engagement Program

(LEEP), alongside focused discussions

with a small cohort of customers in certain

sectors, including the materials and food

and beverage sectors (which includes

some of our agribusiness customers).

As part of our targeted engagement, for

subsectors we identified as having

potentially higher deforestation risk, our

bankers had discussions with customers

on deforestation and to understand their

approach to land and forest management.

Our 2025 Climate Report, available at

anz.com/esgreport contains further detail

on this customer engagement.

16ANZ 2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
ANZ’s approach to assessing and

managing nature-related risks from our

lending practices is anchored in our Social

and Environmental Risk (S&E Risk) policy

framework and supporting processes. The

S&E Risk Policy is strictly applied to large

business customers.

5

It is also applied to

other customers where ANZ perceives that

a customer or their activities may have a

material impact and is otherwise used to

guide decision-making. In applying the S&E

Risk Policy and accompanying Standard,

decision-makers are required to assess the

material impacts (such as material nature

impacts) of ANZ’s large business

customers, including when conducting due

diligence on new to bank large business

customers, prior to a material transaction,

and at least annually for existing large

business customers. The S&E Risk Policy

also seeks compliance with domestic

environmental laws and considers

international best practice standards such

as the Equator Principles and nature-

related risk frameworks (e.g. the Taskforce

on Nature-related Financial Disclosures).

ANZ’s land and forest management policy

further guides our decision-making, and

sets out our expectations and additional

requirements, relating to large business

customers that we consider manage or

have potential to significantly impact areas

of land (land and forest customers).

Our position is clear: we seek to support

land and forest customers that exercise

appropriate land management in

accordance with industry regulation

and local best practice, and customer

activities that avoid or reduce negative

impacts on land or forests and restore

and regenerate ecosystems.

Information about ANZ’s S&E Risk

Policy and Standard (including further

requirements for land and forest

customers) is available at anz.com/

social-and-environmental-risk-

management. These requirements do not

currently apply to Suncorp Bank, however

following ANZ’s acquisition, Suncorp Bank

has commenced a phased transition to

adopt the policies and processes of ANZ.

Beyond our customer engagement and

policy settings, we are also investing in

building our employees’ understanding of

nature-related issues, through the delivery

of specialised training. For example, this

year, we updated our Nature Mindset

2030 learning module, which is made

available to all ANZ employees, to include

specific content on deforestation. We have

also continued our partnership with

Farming for the Future, a not-for-profit

research and change program that seeks

to progress the Australian agricultural

industry’s understanding of on-farm

natural capital and its management.

This year, we worked with Farming for

the Future to deliver Agribusiness banker

training including to upskill employees on

environmental projects on farms such as

carbon, biodiversity and renewable

energy projects.

We will continue to monitor large

business customers’ deforestation-related

risks and impacts through our customer

engagement and social and environmental

risk screening, as well as the evolving

regulatory landscape, and responses to

deforestation from industry bodies and

other stakeholders. We acknowledge that

we have less reported information from

our small business customers about their

approach to land management at the

farm level, including their approach to

managing potential deforestation risks.

However, as one of Australia’s largest

institutional banks, we believe the most

effective role ANZ can play in addressing

deforestation is through supporting large

business customers to reduce supply-

chain exposure, encouraging

transparency, and improving our capability

to provide finance that supports more

sustainable land-use practices.

We also recognise that nature risks and

opportunities are sector- and location-

specific, meaning there are challenges in

identifying and applying a single portfolio-

wide target.

Accordingly, while ANZ does not intend

to set a “no deforestation” target, we

intend to continue to strengthen our due

diligence processes, review our exposure

to potential deforestation risk, and engage

with customers to support further

improvement in managing nature risks.

For example, we are seeking to further

understand the potential exposure our

customers have to nature risks through

progressing our capability to undertake

nature related assessments, leveraging

geospatial capability developed in ANZ’s

Climate Risk & Opportunities Platform.

This is intended to help us to build our

capability so that we can better engage

with our customers to understand this risk.

We will also consider ways to improve

our disclosure of potential exposure to

deforestation, informed by engagement

with the Accountability Framework

Initiative (AFI) or its delivery partners that

we are planning to undertake in 2026. This

engagement is intended to supplement

discussions with our customers, industry

bodies and other stakeholders about their

use of the AFI and what benefits it may

have achieved.

Board Recommendation: Having regard

to the policies and initiatives set out above

as well as the disclosures made in relation

to these matters, the Board does not

consider the proposed resolutions to be

in the best interests of the Company and

shareholders as a whole. Therefore, if

items 7 and 8 are put to the meeting,

the Board recommends that shareholders

vote against the proposed resolutions in

items 7 and 8.

Item 9 – resolution

requisitioned by members

– Transition Plan Approach

and Climate Commitments

(conditional, non-board

endorsed item)

The resolution is an advisory resolution.

The resolution is not endorsed by

the Board.

The resolution in item 9 will be proposed

to the Meeting only if the resolution in item

5 is passed by the requisite majority.

Reasons why the Board

recommends that shareholders

vote against item 9 if it is put to

the AGM

Climate change and the transition to net

zero is an enormous and complex

challenge. The pace of change to reach

net zero will be different across the sectors

we bank and the regions in which we

operate. We acknowledge that there are

factors, outside of our control, which

impact the pace of the transition.

These include technological

advancements, diversification of the

energy mix, market demand for climate

solutions, evolving consumer preferences

and public policy developments. Currently,

a combination of the above factors has led

to the pace of the economy-wide

transition being slower than envisaged.

These realities impact our approach to

transitioning our lending portfolio to net

zero financed emissions by 2050 in line

with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

We understand that each sector’s path

to net zero will be unique; in some cases,

customers may see a temporary rise in

emissions as they invest in new ventures

or operations that support long-term

decarbonisation. For other customers,

there may be industry specific or market

challenges beyond their control. We seek

5. Customers of ANZ’s Institutional division where ANZ has a credit exposure.

17
to understand the challenges and

complexities that our customers are facing

so that we can better engage and support

their transitions.

Our Group level Climate and Environment

Strategy reflects our vision to finance a

sustainable transition and our objective to

be a trusted partner for our customers,

supporting them to adapt and become

more resilient to a changing environment

and economy. Our 2025 Climate Report

explains more about our Climate and

Environment Strategy.

We have been engaging with many of

our large emitting business customers

on climate-related matters since 2018.

One of the key actions we continue to

take to help support our large business

customers6 to reduce their emissions is

customer engagement through our Large

Emitters Engagement Program (LEEP),

which also supports our Climate and

Environment Strategy. LEEP includes our

largest emitting customers, customers

with Safeguard Mechanism facilities and

sectoral pathway customers that meet

threshold criteria including minimum credit

limits. Expectations for credible transition

plans are evolving and we continue to

review our customer transition plan

assessment framework regularly.

Our 2025 Climate Report, available at

anz.com/esgreport explains how our

LEEP customers are selected, based on

the principle that we want to engage with

customers where we can have the

greatest impact.

This signature initiative encourages and

supports our LEEP customers to improve

their transition plans, while informing our

management of climate-related risks

associated with lending to high-emitting

customers. Our primary focus through this

program is on supporting our customers’

transition and in most cases we have had

a positive response to our engagement.

However, if we observe that a customer’s

transition plan is not progressing

sufficiently to its objectives, or towards

meeting our expectations we will engage

with the customer and may reduce our

support. We intend to engage with our

LEEP customers and assess their

transition plans at least annually,

emphasising the importance of ongoing

improvement, particularly for those with

less mature plans.

We have been clear about our

expectations of LEEP customers’

transition plans: we consider whether

the customer has disclosed intermediate

targets covering scope 1 and 2 emissions

that are aligned with the temperature

goals of the Paris Agreement, whether

they have committed to net zero by 2050

and whether they have clear plans to

achieve their targets, with strong

governance and public reporting. We

encourage our LEEP customers to obtain

at least limited third party assurance of

emissions performance and targets and

expect customers in the ‘Emerging’

phase to demonstrate sufficient

improvement to move to the ‘Progressing’

phase generally within two years of our

engagement. Our 2025 Climate Report

explains more about the assessment of

our customers’ transition plans, available

at anz.com/esgreport.

As the largest domestic lender to

Australia’s energy sector, the most carbon

intensive part of our economy, we also

understand the importance of supporting

our customers’ transition. We have been

engaging with our energy customers –

major thermal coal, oil and gas, and

electricity generation businesses – since

2018. This year marked a milestone in our

ongoing engagement with our energy

customers and assessment of their

progress. We had set clear expectations

for existing energy customers to achieve

by the end of 2025 and stated that we

may decline or reduce support to

customers that did not meet or had not

sufficiently improved towards those

expectations.

Through this engagement, we have

supported energy customers to

strengthen their transition plans and

report transparently on their climate risks

and opportunities. We assessed transition

plans for customers representing

approximately 90% of credit limits of our

energy customers. This represents the

vast majority of the customer relationships

within the energy customer cohort. We

have assessed the majority of the energy

customer cohort as having met, or made

sufficient improvements towards, our

expectations. Our assessment of energy

customers’ progress provided valuable

insights into how these customers are

approaching the transition to a lower-

emissions economy and highlighted areas

where ANZ can offer targeted support to

accelerate their progress.

Some of our energy customers have not

made sufficient progress towards our

expectations and we have reassessed our

support for them based on this and other

factors, by capping or reducing limits – in

some cases this has occurred before

2025. In other instances, we have exited

the customer, partly on the basis of their

lack of progress in developing their plan.

Beyond our customer engagement, we

apply an enhanced due diligence process

for material energy transactions which, in

some cases, leads to transactions being

escalated to our senior management

officers, as described in our 2025 Climate

Report. Reasons for escalation may

include where we have assessed that the

customer’s transition plan does not yet

meet the requirements for the Mature

phase under our assessment framework.

While we have been engaging with

individual customers through LEEP, we

are also taking a ‘portfolio’ view of our

customers in high emitting sectors. As part

of our Climate and Environment Strategy,

we have set pathways and financed

emissions reduction targets for power

generation, thermal coal, and oil and gas.

These targets are based on science-

based scenarios to limit global

temperature increases to 1.5°C. In 2025

we introduced an internal reporting

mechanism for our sectoral pathways to

provide more regular updates to

stakeholders to monitor progress. Our

2025 Climate Report confirms that we are

currently on-track to achieve our 2030

financed emissions reduction targets for

power generation, thermal coal, and oil

and gas and provides details about all of

our sectoral pathways.

Board Recommendation: Having regard

to the complexities set out above as

well as the disclosures made in relation

to these matters, the Board does not

consider the proposed resolution to be

in the best interests of the Company and

shareholders as a whole. Therefore, if

item 9 is put to the meeting, the Board

recommends that shareholders vote

18ANZ 2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
Supporting Statements

The statements which follow for Items

5, 7, 8 and 9 were provided by the

shareholders who requisitioned those

resolutions. The statements are not

endorsed by the Board. The Board

recommends that shareholders vote

against items 5, 7, 8 and 9.

Supporting Statement for item 5

Shareholder participation is vital for

healthy corporate governance, yet in

Australia it is restricted by legal and

procedural barriers.

1

Unlike in many

countries, Australian shareholders cannot

directly propose ordinary resolutions.

Instead, they must first pass a special

resolution to amend the company’s

constitution. This limits the ability of

investors to express opinions to the Board

on important issues. In 2024, U.S.

shareholders filed 500 resolutions (14 at

Amazon alone), compared to a handful in

Australia. Allowing ordinary resolutions

benefits companies, shareholders

and stakeholders.

Supporting Statement for

items 7 and 8

Australia’s native forests, home to

some of the most diverse plants and

animals in the world, are being

bulldozed at a globally significant rate

More than 50% of Australia’s native

forests have been cleared or severely

damaged. Over a five-year period from

2016 to 2021, 1.74 million hectares of

deforestation occurred in Australia

2

,

and official data shows that clearing in

Queensland

3

and New South Wales

4

is

still increasing. In recent years, more

deforestation has occurred in Queensland

alone, primarily for pastoral expansion,

than by the entire Indonesian palm oil

sector.

5

Eastern Australia has been

identified as one of eleven ‘deforestation

fronts’ alongside Borneo, the Amazon and

the Congo, that will account for 80% of

the deforestation occurring to 2030.

6

Habitat loss and degradation is the

dominant driver of extinction in Australia,

with 70% of threatened species

impacted.

7

Over 250 Australian scientists

have signed an open letter calling on the

Federal Government to put an end to land

clearing as the single biggest threat to the

nation’s biodiversity.

8


Bank finance is enabling

deforestation in Australia, including

potentially illegal clearing

The majority of deforestation in Australia

is driven by cattle pasture expansion in

Queensland and New South Wales. When

combined, ANZ and Suncorp’s exposure

to potentially illegal deforestation in

Queensland between 2018 and 2020

was the highest of all Australian banks

at 38,931 hectares.

9


A recent investigation that selected 100

cases of deforestation linked to major

banks through mortgages, flagged that

ANZ (inclusive of Suncorp) had the second

highest exposure of its peers to financed

deforestation at 4,374 hectares

cleared.

10

One third of cases linked to ANZ

obtained no federal approval despite likely

meeting the thresholds for impacts on

threatened species habitat that would

require an approval under Australia’s

Environment Protection and Biodiversity

Conservation Act 1999.

This raises regulatory risk for ANZ’s

customers, increasing default risk for our

bank where actions are taken against

landholders by Government or third

parties. Publicity of illegal activity missed in

bank credit risk assessments may have

reputational implications for our company

where it concerns the effectiveness of risk

management and oversight mechanisms.

Deforestation poses material risks whether

it is legal or illegal.

Nature and climate risks are

financial risks for our bank and

its customers

Our company has recognised that the

agriculture sector has the highest potential

dependency on ecosystem services

provided by nature

11

including soil

stabilisation, flood mitigation and climate

regulation. Deforestation can bring about

damaging processes like erosion that

worsens soil quality and reduces the

productive capacity of agricultural land.

12


Research across Australia shows that as

forest becomes cleared, degraded and

fragmented, there is a greater chance of

drought occurring in that area.

13

These

nature impacts, among many others, are

drivers of default risk. Deforestation also

increases the risk of urban flooding

14

,

potentially exposing our bank to credit risk

in entire regions that it finances and from

mortgage-backed securities of uninsured

or underinsured property.

When forests are cleared or burnt, stored

carbon is released into the atmosphere

and carbon sinks are destroyed,

heightening climate risk. All sectors of the

economy that ANZ finances will face

escalating impacts from global warming

if deforestation continues unchecked.

Our bank’s decision makers need

better data to assess instances

of deforestation

Within its Social and Environmental Risk

Policy our Company has identified ‘Land

and Forest Management’ as a Sensitive

Sector with specific climate and nature

requirements for large business customers

that must be considered in the provision of

finance. This stipulates that ANZ decision

makers should have awareness of the

impacts and proposed activities in relation

to deforestation. There does not appear to

be a specific policy requiring this

awareness for smaller customers that are

having outsized deforestation impact.

While it has conducted a desktop review

of its 100 largest emitting customers,

ANZ suggests that this list excludes

certain customers with higher nature

impacts and dependencies. An analysis

of exposure to commodities with a

high-risk of deforestation and in high-risk

regions will identify opportunities for

targeted engagement to address the

most severe impacts.

Peers are committing to no

deforestation to build resilience

to climate impacts and evolving

regulation

As part of its Net-Zero Banking Alliance

(NZBA) 2030 Agriculture sector target,

Westpac has set a no deforestation target

which provides for no further conversion

of natural forest to agricultural land use

within farm systems from 2026. While

ANZ is a member of NZBA, it has not set

any targets of this nature, stating that it

‘remains premature’ to do so. This does

not reflect the conclusion drawn by

Westpac and other global peers such as

Barclays and BNP Paribas that recognise

deforestation is a key driver of climate

change and biodiversity loss.

15

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

recently published the Financial

Institutions Net-Zero Standard which

includes a recommendation that financial

institutions commit to no new in-scope

financial activities involving portfolio

entities engaged in commodity-driven

deforestation.

16

It has identified the

Accountability Framework initiative (AFi)

as a credible framework, recommending

AFi’s cutoff date, December 31st 2020,

to reduce the risk of customers clearing

before a future cut-off date.

196 countries have signed the Global

Biodiversity Framework’s agreement to halt

and reverse nature loss, including Australia,

and the EU Deforestation Regulation is

shortly coming into force for deforestation-

linked products sold into EU markets,

including from regions labelled low risk. A

strategy to eliminate financed deforestation

will build resilience to stronger regulations

for ANZ and its customers.

We urge shareholders to support

these resolutions.

Supporting Statement for item 9

ANZ is Australia’s biggest funder of fossil

fuels, having loaned over $20 billion to the

industry since 2016.

17

ANZ’s financing of

fossil fuel expansion undermines its

commitments to the climate goals of the

Paris Agreement and net zero emissions

by 2050.

In 2024, 27.2% of ANZ shareholder votes

were cast in favour of a resolution

requesting further disclosure on the

bank’s approach to the climate transition

plans (CTP) of its fossil fuel customers.

18

ANZ’s current disclosures relating to CTP

expectations are the weakest of Australia’s

big four banks, still allowing for continued

financing of fossil fuel companies

misaligned with the bank’s climate

commitments. ANZ’s stated expectation for

fossil fuel customers to “Establish specific,

time bound, public, Paris-aligned transition

plans and diversification strategies for their

businesses” by the end of 2025 is

contradicted by the inadequate standards

outlined in the bank’s framework.

19

ANZ is increasingly lagging peers,

exposing the bank to heightened financial,

legal, regulatory and reputational risks.

This resolution seeks to mitigate risk by

ensuring ANZ’s policies and actions are

clearly aligned with its stated climate

commitments.

CTP policy: not Paris-aligned

In successive disclosures since

November 2021, ANZ has stated it

expects ‘energy sector’ customers to

have climate transition plans in place by

the end of 2025.

20

Since then, shareholders have sought

further disclosure addressing:

1. Whether ANZ will require all ‘fossil fuel

companies’ to have climate transition

plans in place by October 2025 for ANZ

to provide ‘new financing’; and

2. Whether and how ANZ will assess

such transition plans for credible

alignment with the 1.5°C goal of the

Paris Agreement.

21


While ANZ has published numerous

updates on its CTP approach since

2021,

22

none have sufficiently addressed

either point.

ANZ has failed to answer the fundamental

question underpinning this policy: Are fossil

fuel clients required to be Paris-aligned to

receive new or renewed finance?

ANZ’s latest CTP policy:

23

• Is the only one among Australia’s big

four banks that does not have a clear

threshold for declining new or renewed

finance to a fossil fuel customer,

regardless of how misaligned that

customer’s plans are with the goals

of the Paris Agreement.

• Does not require Paris-aligned Scope 3

emissions reduction targets (typically

accounting for 65-90% of upstream

fossil fuel companies’ emissions)

24

• Lacks detail on escalatory steps

ANZ will take upon determining a

fossil fuel customer is not on a

Paris-aligned trajectory.

Investors have no evidence that ANZ’s

current policy will result in financing

decisions aligned with the bank’s climate

commitments.

Financing fossil fuel expansion

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change (IPCC) warns that lifetime

emissions from existing and committed

fossil fuel infrastructure would exceed the

carbon budget for well below 2°C,

25

while

the International Energy Agency concludes

that achieving net zero by 2050 allows no

coal mine expansions or new oil and gas

fields.

shareholder.anz.com
In 2025, ANZ continued to finance

companies expanding fossil fuels, including:

• Participating in a ~$12.9 billion loan to

BP, a company pursuing up to 20 oil and

gas growth projects.

27

• Loaning ~$61 million to Woodside as

part of a $1.83 billion deal after the

company sanctioned Louisiana LNG

28

,

which could produce lifetime emissions

of 1.6 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent.

29

Further out of step with

best practice

In direct contrast to ANZ’s policy,

Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has adopted

a clear, science-based standard for CTPs.

Its policy applies a simple binary

assessment, determining whether

a fossil fuel client is either:

• Paris-aligned (eligible for new and

renewed finance); or

• Not Paris-aligned (not eligible for new

and renewed finance).

30

This difference in approach was

exemplified in August 2024, when

ANZ participated in a $1.24 billion loan

refinancing for Santos, a company

targeting final investment decisions on

three new oil and gas projects.

31

CBA,

which participated in the original facility,

used the refinancing as an opportunity

to withdraw.

32

CBA’s clear policy and lending activity

provide much greater confidence that the

bank has a reasonable basis for its climate

statements, compared to ANZ.

Regulatory and legal risk

ANZ faced historic regulatory scrutiny

in 2025, including receiving a record

$240 million fine for misconduct from

ASIC, with ASIC’s Chair stating “there are

fundamental issues with ANZ’s risk and

compliance culture that require the

board’s and executives’ urgent attention.”

33

The Wyman review identified poor risk

governance in ANZ’s Markets division,

which was likely to be present elsewhere

in the Group.

34

These concerns, combined

with ANZ’s fossil fuel financing activity and

inadequate policies, cast serious doubt

over ANZ’s capability to integrate climate

change as a material risk into its strategy,

risk management, and policies.

Australian misleading and deceptive

conduct law requires companies to have

a reasonable basis for making climate-

related statements, including net zero

commitments.

35

The misalignment

between ANZ’s climate commitments and

ongoing financing of fossil fuel expansion

raises significant greenwashing risks,

which are potentially exacerbated by

the bank’s policy settings.

As stated by the chair of a UN High-Level

Expert Group focused on corporate net

zero claims: “Non-state actors cannot

claim to be net zero while continuing to

build or invest in new fossil fuel supply.”

36

Regulators have begun enforcement in

this area, with some companies fined

several million dollars for misconduct.

37


ASIC’s Chair has stated a major form of

misconduct is “net zero statements and

targets, that were either made without

a reasonable basis or that were

factually incorrect”.

38

ANZ’s risk and compliance culture is

already being closely watched by

regulators. Knowingly providing new

finance to customers not credibly on a

Paris-aligned trajectory from the end of

2025 could invite additional scrutiny.

This resolution presents an opportunity

for ANZ to address these risks.
