For Release: 23 February 2026
Issue of A$1 billion of Subordinated Notes
Notice under section 708A(12H)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001
(Cwlth)
Today Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522) (“ANZBGL”) will issue A$725
million floating rate subordinated notes due February 2037 and A$275 million fixed to floating rate
subordinated notes due February 2037 (A$1 billion in aggregate) pursuant to its Australian dollar debt
issuance programme (the “Subordinated Notes”).
The Subordinated Notes convert into fully paid ordinary shares of ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ABN 16 659
510 791) (“ANZGHL”) (“ANZGHL Ordinary Shares”) where the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority
(“APRA”) determines this to be necessary on the grounds that ANZBGL would otherwise become non-viable.
This notice is given jointly by ANZBGL and ANZGHL. It is a cleansing notice prepared for the purposes of
section 708A(12H)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) (“Corporations Act”) (as inserted by ASIC
Corporations (Regulatory Capital Securities) Instrument 2016/71) to enable ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or
Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares
1
issued on conversion of the Subordinated Notes to be freely tradeable
without further disclosure and includes:
1. the description of the rights and liabilities attaching to the Subordinated Notes that is contained in the
“Conditions of the Notes” section of the Information Memorandum dated 17 September 2025 that was
lodged by ANZBGL with the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on that day (“Information
Memorandum”);
2. in Schedule 1, commercial particulars of the Subordinated Notes, extracted from the Pricing
Supplements for the Subordinated Notes dated 19 February 2026; and
3. the description of the rights and liabilities attaching to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares that is contained in the
“Description of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be issued upon Conversion of Subordinated Notes
that are subject to Conversion” section of the Information Memorandum.
Words and expressions defined in the Information Memorandum have the same meanings in the remainder of
this cleansing notice unless the contrary intention appears.
The issue of Subordinated Notes by ANZBGL will not have a material impact on ANZBGL’s or ANZGHL’s
financial position. If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and ANZGHL issues ANZGHL Ordinary Shares, the
impact of Conversion on ANZGHL would be to increase ANZGHL’s shareholders’ equity. The number of
ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion is limited to the Maximum Conversion Number. The
Maximum Conversion Number is 131.7176 ANZGHL Ordinary Shares per Subordinated Note (with a Principal
Amount of A$1,000), based on the Issue Date VWAP
2
of A$37.96.
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

In addition, the following paragraph on page
17 of the Information Memorandum is
amended for the purposes of the

words shown as struck-out and the insertion
of the words shown as underlined:
As at the date of this Pricing Supplement
Information Memorandum, Relevant Tier 1
Securities include the securities eligible for
inclusion as Additional Tier 1 Capital (as
defined by APRA from time to time). In
December 2025, APRA confirmed its previous
proposal APRA has proposed that Additional
Tier 1 Capital will be phased out from 1
January 2027. When this change is
implemented, it will This is likely to decrease
the amount (if any) of Relevant Tier 1
Securities and increase the amount of
Relevant Tier 2 Securities that are on issue
from time to time, which could adversely affect
the outcomes for holders of Subordinated
Notes in the event of a Non-Viability Trigger
Event. Pursuant to the The transitional
arrangements that will apply to Additional Tier
1 Capital instruments on issue on 1 January
2027 are subject to ongoing consultation with
APRA, however, it is expected that no
Additional Tier 1 Capital instruments of the
Issuer would remain on issue after 1 January
2032. Accordingly, from that date, the only
securities ranking junior to the Subordinated
Notes in a winding-up would be ordinary
7
shares in the Issuer, and if a Non-Viability
Trigger Event were to occur there would be
no Relevant Tier 1 Securities to be Converted
before the Subordinated Notes are required to
be Converted.

Annex 2
USE OF PROCEEDS IN RESPECT OF SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED AS SDG
BONDS
The “Use of Proceeds” section of the Information Memorandum, shall be replaced with
the following:
Use of Proceeds
The Subordinated Notes are issued as “Sustainable Development Goal Bonds”.
This means that the Issuer intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the
issue of the Subordinated Notes (referred to as “SDG Bonds”) to finance or refinance a
combination of new or existing assets which align with one or more eligible categories and/or
the Issuer's own operating or capital expenditures which align with one or more eligible
categories, in accordance with the “Framework” (as defined in the next paragraph).
The “Framework” means the “ANZ SDG Bond Framework” dated November 2024. The
Framework is published at https://www.anz.com/debtinvestors/centre/green-sustainability-
bonds/ (the “Website”).
Certain information about the Framework
On 1 January 2016, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) came into
effect. The 17 goals and 169 targets are aimed at addressing global challenges, including those
related to poverty, inequality, climate change and environmental degradation by 2030.
ANZ intends that the SDG Bonds issued under the Framework will be aligned to one or more
SDGs.
Eligible assets and expenditures
Eligible assets and expenditures are determined by the Issuer in its absolute discretion to fall
within one or more of the eligible categories and meet the process for evaluation and selection
in accordance with the Framework. Eligible categories are set out in the Framework.
Payment of any principal or interest in respect of the SDG Bonds will be made from the Issuer's
general funds and will not be directly linked to or depend on the performance or credit standing
of any eligible asset (or the performance of the Issuer in respect of any SDG, environmental,
social and governance ("ESG") or similar targets). This means that, without limitation:
• no property interest or security interest in favour of any investor is created in any proceeds
or eligible asset or expenditure;
• the term of any eligible assets may be shorter or longer than the term of the SDG Bonds;
• eligible assets may mature, be sold, repaid, prepaid or otherwise expire before or after the
maturity date of the SDG Bonds;
• allocations of amounts equal to the net proceeds in respect of SDG Bonds to eligible assets
will regularly change in accordance with the Framework;
• eligible assets may remain outstanding after the maturity date of the SDG Bonds;
• the Issuer is not required to terminate the funding of any eligible asset by an amount equal
to the net proceeds of maturing SDG Bonds; and
• the Issuer may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, re-allocate or apportion eligible
assets and expenditures among ,and/or adjust the composition of its portfolio of eligible
11
assets and expenditures allocated against, the Issuer’s SDG bonds, including the SDG
Bonds.
Limitations
While the Issuer is under no obligation to update the Framework, the Framework may be
amended, updated, supplemented, replaced and/or withdrawn from time to time and any
subsequent version(s) may differ (including in a significant way) from the description given in
this Pricing Supplement, which may affect the SDG Bonds.
The Framework sets out the Issuer’s corporate purpose and strategy as at November 2024. It
is no longer current as at the date of this Pricing Supplement. Although not incorporated by
reference into or forming part of the Information Memorandum or this Pricing Supplement, the
Issuer’s most recent annual report and other periodic and continuous disclosure
announcements are available online at: www.asx.com.au.
The Framework precedes, has not been updated for, and has not been assessed for
compliance against, the International Capital Market Association's ("ICMA") more recent Green
Bond Principles of June 2025 or ICMA's Social Bond Principles of June 2025.
Documents available
Subject to applicable law, copies of the Framework and any second or third party opinions
(subject to consent and confidentiality requirements) and Post-Issuance Reports (as defined
below and, in the case of third party reports, subject to consent and confidentiality
requirements) may be obtained by investors from the Website.
“Post-Issuance Report” means any report relating to the SDG Bonds, including any progress
report, use of proceeds report and impact report, whether prepared by the Issuer or a third
party.
Refer to the Framework for further information on reporting, including regarding use of proceeds
and impact reporting prepared by the Issuer. As at the date of this Pricing Supplement, subject
to limited exceptions, the Issuer presents impact figures as “gross figures” for each
project/asset, rather than apportioned based on the Issuer's lending in respect of the
project/asset. This means that the impact of the Issuer’s lending is lower than, and a portion of,
the total impact figures.
The documents described in this section may be amended, updated, supplemented, replaced
and/or withdrawn from time to time and any subsequent version(s) may differ (including in a
significant way) from the description given in this Pricing Supplement. Potential investors in the
SDG Bonds should access the latest version of each relevant document available.
Such documents and the Website as well as any document referred to in any of them or the
contents of any website referred to herein or therein, are not incorporated into, and do not form
part of, this Pricing Supplement or the Information Memorandum. Ranking and other matters
in respect of the SDG Bonds that are Subordinated Notes
The SDG Bonds are Subordinated Notes which will rank as such in accordance with the
Conditions and are not covered by a guarantee of the Issuer or a related entity.
This Annex 2 does not create any arrangement which enhances the seniority of any claim by a
Subordinated Noteholder.
Subordinated Noteholders do not have netting or set-off rights and there are no cross default
clauses in relation to the eligible assets or expenditures.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT NOTICES IN RESPECT OF SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED
AS SDG BONDS
The “Important Notice” section of the Information Memorandum shall include the
following additional important notices:
12
Subordinated Notes issued as SDG Bonds
None of the Issuer or Dealer accepts any responsibility for any social, environmental and
sustainability assessment of the SDG Bonds or makes any representation or warranty or
assurance whether such SDG Bonds will meet any investor expectations or requirements
regarding such "green", "sustainable", "social" or similar labels (including for the purpose of any
laws, regulations, market standards or guidance, including green, sustainable or social bond
principles or other similar principles or guidance published by ICMA (the "ICMA Principles"))
or any requirements of such labels or market standards as they may evolve from time to time.
No representation or assurance is given by the Issuer or the Dealer as to the suitability of the
SDG Bonds to fulfil any present or future investor expectations or requirements with respect to
sustainability or other investment criteria or guidelines which any investor is, or its investments
are, required to comply with.
Second and third party opinions, assurances and certifications in respect of SDG Bonds
No assurance or representation is given by the Issuer, the Dealer or any other person as to the
suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any opinion, review, assurance,
certification or Post-Issuance Report (including any Post-Issuance Reports prepared by an
external reviewer) and/or label, whether or not solicited by the Issuer, which may be made
available in connection with the issue of SDG Bonds and in particular any eligible assets
(including any second or third party opinions) to fulfil any sustainable development goal,
environmental, sustainability, social and/or other criteria.
For the avoidance of doubt, any such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance
Report or label is not, nor should it be deemed to be, a recommendation by the Issuer, the
Dealer or any other person to buy, sell or hold SDG Bonds and such opinions, assurances and
certifications may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to the structure, market and
other factors that may affect the value of SDG Bonds may be revised or withdrawn at any time.
Additionally, any such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or
label (i) is only current as of the date on which it was initially issued and the criteria and/or
considerations that form the basis of such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-
Issuance Report and/or label may change at any time, (ii) only provides an opinion, review,
assurance, certification or Post-Issuance Report on certain environmental and related
considerations and (iii) is not intended to address any credit, market or other aspects of an
investment in SDG Bonds including, without limitation, market price, marketability, investor
preference or suitability of any security to fulfil any specific investment criteria.
The criteria and/or considerations that form the basis of any such opinion, review, assurance,
certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or label may change at any time and the opinion,
review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or label may be amended, updated,
supplemented, replaced and/or withdrawn.
Prospective investors must determine for themselves the relevance of any such opinion, review,
assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report, label and/or the information contained therein.
Any second or third party opinion, and any other opinion provided in relation to SDG Bonds is
a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact. Second or third party opinion providers may
not be subject to any specific regulatory or other regime or oversight and any opinions provided
are provided for information purposes only and on a no liability basis.
ADDITIONAL NOTE RISKS IN RESPECT OF SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED AS SDG
BONDS
In the “Summary of the Programme” section of the Information Memorandum, the
“Additional Note Risks (Subordinated Notes)” sub-section shall include the following
additional note risks:
The SDG Bonds may not meet investor expectations or requirements
13
While it is the intention of the Issuer to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the
SDG Bonds for the allocation to an eligible asset or assets, there is no contractual or regulatory
obligation to do so. Additionally, the Framework is subject to review and change and any
amendment, update, supplement and/or replacement of the Framework may be applied in
respect of the SDG Bonds.
No assurance or representation is given to investors by the Issuer or any other person:
(a) that, at any time, the use of an amount equal to the net proceeds of the SDG Bonds will
satisfy (whether in whole or in part) any present or future investor expectations or
requirements as regards any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor
or its investments are required to comply, in particular with regard to any direct or indirect
sustainability impact of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to, any eligible
assets, eligible businesses and projects under the Framework;
(b) that, at any time, any assets, projects, businesses or uses the subject of, or related to,
any eligible assets will meet or, if met, continue to meet on an ongoing basis any or all
investor expectations regarding "green", "sustainable", "social" or other similar labels
(including any laws, regulations, market standards or guidance, including the ICMA
Principles) or any requirements of such labels or market standards as they may evolve
from time to time. Furthermore, it should be noted that there is currently no clear definition
(legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what constitutes, a
"green", "social" or "sustainable" or an equivalently-labelled project or as to what precise
attributes are required for a particular project to be defined as "green, "social" or
"sustainable" or such other equivalent label and if developed in the future, SDG Bonds
may not comply with any such definition or label;
(c) that any adverse environmental, social and/or other impacts will not occur during the
implementation of any assets, projects, businesses or uses the subject of, or related to,
any eligible assets;
(d) that, at any time (within any specified period or at all), (i) any assets, projects, businesses
qualifying as eligible assets will be available or meet any eligible categories, or (ii) any
eligible asset will continue to meet any eligible category, or that the Issuer will be able to
replace any eligible assets which no longer meet the relevant eligible category, or (iii)
any eligible assets will be, or will be capable of being, implemented in or substantially in
such manner and/or in accordance with any timing schedule or at all or with the results
or outcome as originally expected or anticipated by the Issuer and, accordingly, there is
no assurance that an amount equal to the net proceeds of the SDG Bonds will be totally
or partially allocated to such eligible assets; or
(e) as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any opinion, review,
assurance, certification or Post-Issuance Report of any third party (whether or not
solicited by the Issuer) which may be made available in connection with SDG Bonds
(including any second or third party opinion).
The Framework has not been assessed for compliance against ICMA's Green Bond Principles
of June 2025 or ICMA's Social Bond Principles of June 2025.
SDG Bonds do not benefit from any arrangements to enhance the performance of the
SDG Bonds or any contractual rights derived solely from the intended use of proceeds
of such SDG Bonds and are not linked to the performance of the eligible assets.
Investors should note that none of:
(a) a failure by the Issuer (either totally or partially) (i) to allocate amounts equal to the net
proceeds, or use the proceeds, of the SDG Bonds in the manner described in this
Pricing Supplement and the Framework, or (ii) to evaluate, select and report on eligible
assets, or to manage amounts equal to the net proceeds of the SDG Bonds, each as
may be described in this Pricing Supplement and/or in the Framework or (iii) to comply
14
with the Framework, the SDGs or, the ICMA published documents entitled "The Social
Bond Principles June 2023", "The Sustainability Bond Guidelines June 2021", "The
Green Bond Principles June 2021 (With June 2022 Appendix 1)", "The Social Bond
Principles June 2025" and "The Green Bond Principles June 2025" (“ICMA
Documents”) or (iv) to prepare, obtain or publish any opinion, review, assurance,
certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or label relating to the SDG Bonds (including
any periodic use of proceeds or impact report, as described in the Framework);
(b) a failure of a third party to provide any opinion, review, assurance, Post-Issuance
Report or certification in connection with the Framework or the SDG Bonds;
(c) any opinion, review, assurance, certification or Post-Issuance Report stating that the
Issuer is not complying or fulfilling relevant criteria (either totally or partially) with
respect to the Framework or the SDG Bonds;
(d) any revision, amendment or withdrawal, for any reason, of (i) any opinion, review,
assurance, Post-Issuance Report, certification or label relating to the SDG Bonds
and/or the Framework, or (ii) any criteria on which any such opinion, review, assurance,
Post-Issuance Report, certification and/or label was given;
(e) the failure of the SDG Bonds to meet investors' expectations or requirements regarding
any SDGs, ESG or similar label(s) or characteristic(s); or
(f) any change in the performance of any eligible asset (including the loss of any SDG,
ESG or equivalent characteristics),
will (i) constitute an Event of Default under the Conditions, or (ii) be a breach of contract with
respect to the SDG Bonds, or (iii) give rise to any other claim or right (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any early redemption option or right to accelerate the SDG Bonds) of a
holder of SDG Bonds against the Issuer, or (iv) require the Issuer to redeem the SDG Bonds,
or (v) affect the regulatory treatment of the SDG Bonds.
The occurrence of any of the above factors may, however, cause damage to the ANZ Group's
reputation and/or have a material adverse effect on the value of the SDG Bonds and/or result
in adverse consequences for certain investors with requirements to invest in securities to be
used for a particular purpose who may need to sell the SDG Bonds as a result of the SDG
Bonds not falling within their investment requirements. Potential investors should note that
there is no recourse to the Issuer in these circumstances.
The market price of SDG Bonds may adversely change
If any of the risks outlined above materialise, this may have a material adverse effect on the
market price of the SDG Bonds and also potentially the market price of any other securities
intended to finance the Issuer's lending for eligible assets and may result in adverse
consequences for certain investors with requirements to invest in securities to be used for a
particular purpose (including, without limitation, if such investors are required to dispose of their
SDG Bonds as a result of such SDG Bonds not meeting any investment requirements set by
or for such investor, which could lead to increased volatility and/or material decreases in the
market price of such SDG Bonds).
No assurance of suitability or reliability of any second party opinion or any other opinion
or certification of any third party relating to the SDG Bonds
Any second or third party opinions may provide an opinion on certain environmental and related
considerations. Any such opinions are a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact.
No representation or assurance is given as to the suitability or reliability of any second or third
party opinion or any review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any third party
made available in connection with the SDG Bonds. Any second or third party opinion and any
other such review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any third party is not
15
intended to address any credit, market or other aspects of any investment in the SDG Bonds,
including without limitation market price, marketability, investor preference or suitability of any
security or any other factors that may affect the value of the SDG Bonds. Any second or third
party opinion and any other such review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any
third party is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the SDG Bonds and is current only as
of the date it was issued.
The criteria and/or considerations that form the basis of any second or third party opinion and
any other such review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any third party may
change at any time and such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report
may be amended, updated, supplemented, replaced and/or withdrawn. Any withdrawal of any
such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report may have a material
adverse effect on the value of the SDG Bonds in respect of which such opinion, review,
assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report is given and /or result in adverse consequences
for certain investors with portfolio mandates to invest in securities to be used for a particular
purpose. Prospective investors must determine for themselves the relevance of any such
opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or the information
contained therein.

In addition, the following paragraph on page
17 of the Information Memorandum is
amended for the purposes of the
Subordinated Notes by the deletion of the
words shown as struck-out and the insertion
of the words shown as underlined:
As at the date of this Pricing Supplement
Information Memorandum, Relevant Tier 1
Securities include the securities eligible for
inclusion as Additional Tier 1 Capital (as
defined by APRA from time to time). In
December 2025, APRA confirmed its previous
proposal APRA has proposed that Additional
Tier 1 Capital will be phased out from 1
January 2027. When this change is
implemented, it will This is likely to decrease
the amount (if any) of Relevant Tier 1
Securities and increase the amount of
Relevant Tier 2 Securities that are on issue
from time to time, which could adversely affect
the outcomes for holders of Subordinated
Notes in the event of a Non-Viability Trigger
Event. Pursuant to the The transitional
arrangements that will apply to Additional Tier
1 Capital instruments on issue on 1 January
2027 are subject to ongoing consultation with
APRA, however, it is expected that no
Additional Tier 1 Capital instruments of the
Issuer would remain on issue after 1 January
2032. Accordingly, from that date, the only
securities ranking junior to the Subordinated
Notes in a winding-up would be ordinary
shares in the Issuer, and if a Non-Viability
Trigger Event were to occur there would be
no Relevant Tier 1 Securities to be Converted
before the Subordinated Notes are required to
be Converted.

Annex 2
USE OF PROCEEDS IN RESPECT OF SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED AS SDG
BONDS
The “Use of Proceeds” section of the Information Memorandum, shall be replaced with
the following:
Use of Proceeds
The Subordinated Notes are issued as “Sustainable Development Goal Bonds”.
This means that the Issuer intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the
issue of the Subordinated Notes (referred to as “SDG Bonds”) to finance or refinance a
combination of new or existing assets which align with one or more eligible categories and/or
the Issuer's own operating or capital expenditures which align with one or more eligible
categories, in accordance with the “Framework” (as defined in the next paragraph).
The “Framework” means the “ANZ SDG Bond Framework” dated November 2024. The
Framework is published at https://www.anz.com/debtinvestors/centre/green-sustainability-
bonds/ (the “Website”).
Certain information about the Framework
On 1 January 2016, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) came into
effect. The 17 goals and 169 targets are aimed at addressing global challenges, including those
related to poverty, inequality, climate change and environmental degradation by 2030.
ANZ intends that the SDG Bonds issued under the Framework will be aligned to one or more
SDGs.
Eligible assets and expenditures
Eligible assets and expenditures are determined by the Issuer in its absolute discretion to fall
within one or more of the eligible categories and meet the process for evaluation and selection
in accordance with the Framework. Eligible categories are set out in the Framework.
Payment of any principal or interest in respect of the SDG Bonds will be made from the Issuer's
general funds and will not be directly linked to or depend on the performance or credit standing
of any eligible asset (or the performance of the Issuer in respect of any SDG, environmental,
social and governance ("ESG") or similar targets). This means that, without limitation:
• no property interest or security interest in favour of any investor is created in any proceeds
or eligible asset or expenditure;
• the term of any eligible assets may be shorter or longer than the term of the SDG Bonds;
• eligible assets may mature, be sold, repaid, prepaid or otherwise expire before or after the
maturity date of the SDG Bonds;
• allocations of amounts equal to the net proceeds in respect of SDG Bonds to eligible assets
will regularly change in accordance with the Framework;
• eligible assets may remain outstanding after the maturity date of the SDG Bonds;
• the Issuer is not required to terminate the funding of any eligible asset by an amount equal
to the net proceeds of maturing SDG Bonds; and
• the Issuer may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, re-allocate or apportion eligible
assets and expenditures among ,and/or adjust the composition of its portfolio of eligible
11
assets and expenditures allocated against, the Issuer’s SDG bonds, including the SDG
Bonds.
Limitations
While the Issuer is under no obligation to update the Framework, the Framework may be
amended, updated, supplemented, replaced and/or withdrawn from time to time and any
subsequent version(s) may differ (including in a significant way) from the description given in
this Pricing Supplement, which may affect the SDG Bonds.
The Framework sets out the Issuer’s corporate purpose and strategy as at November 2024. It
is no longer current as at the date of this Pricing Supplement. Although not incorporated by
reference into or forming part of the Information Memorandum or this Pricing Supplement, the
Issuer’s most recent annual report and other periodic and continuous disclosure
announcements are available online at: www.asx.com.au.
The Framework precedes, has not been updated for, and has not been assessed for
compliance against, the International Capital Market Association's ("ICMA") more recent Green
Bond Principles of June 2025 or ICMA's Social Bond Principles of June 2025.
Documents available
Subject to applicable law, copies of the Framework and any second or third party opinions
(subject to consent and confidentiality requirements) and Post-Issuance Reports (as defined
below and, in the case of third party reports, subject to consent and confidentiality
requirements) may be obtained by investors from the Website.
“Post-Issuance Report” means any report relating to the SDG Bonds, including any progress
report, use of proceeds report and impact report, whether prepared by the Issuer or a third
party.
Refer to the Framework for further information on reporting, including regarding use of proceeds
and impact reporting prepared by the Issuer. As at the date of this Pricing Supplement, subject
to limited exceptions, the Issuer presents impact figures as “gross figures” for each
project/asset, rather than apportioned based on the Issuer's lending in respect of the
project/asset. This means that the impact of the Issuer’s lending is lower than, and a portion of,
the total impact figures.
The documents described in this section may be amended, updated, supplemented, replaced
and/or withdrawn from time to time and any subsequent version(s) may differ (including in a
significant way) from the description given in this Pricing Supplement. Potential investors in the
SDG Bonds should access the latest version of each relevant document available.
Such documents and the Website as well as any document referred to in any of them or the
contents of any website referred to herein or therein, are not incorporated into, and do not form
part of, this Pricing Supplement or the Information Memorandum.
Ranking and other matters in respect of the SDG Bonds that are Subordinated Notes
The SDG Bonds are Subordinated Notes which will rank as such in accordance with the
Conditions and are not covered by a guarantee of the Issuer or a related entity.
This Annex 2 does not create any arrangement which enhances the seniority of any claim by a
Subordinated Noteholder.
Subordinated Noteholders do not have netting or set-off rights and there are no cross default
clauses in relation to the eligible assets or expenditures.
ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT NOTICES IN RESPECT OF SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED
AS SDG BONDS
12
The “Important Notice” section of the Information Memorandum shall include the
following additional important notices:
Subordinated Notes issued as SDG Bonds
None of the Issuer or Dealer accepts any responsibility for any social, environmental and
sustainability assessment of the SDG Bonds or makes any representation or warranty or
assurance whether such SDG Bonds will meet any investor expectations or requirements
regarding such "green", "sustainable", "social" or similar labels (including for the purpose of any
laws, regulations, market standards or guidance, including green, sustainable or social bond
principles or other similar principles or guidance published by ICMA (the "ICMA Principles"))
or any requirements of such labels or market standards as they may evolve from time to time.
No representation or assurance is given by the Issuer or the Dealer as to the suitability of the

sustainability or other investment criteria or guidelines which any investor is, or its investments
are, required to comply with.
Second and third party opinions, assurances and certifications in respect of SDG Bonds
No assurance or representation is given by the Issuer, the Dealer or any other person as to the
suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any opinion, review, assurance,
certification or Post-Issuance Report (including any Post-Issuance Reports prepared by an

available in connection with the issue of SDG Bonds and in particular any eligible assets
(including any second or third party opinions) to fulfil any sustainable development goal,
environmental, sustainability, social and/or other criteria.
For the avoidance of doubt, any such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance
Report or label is not, nor should it be deemed to be, a recommendation by the Issuer, the
Dealer or any other person to buy, sell or hold SDG Bonds and such opinions, assurances and
certifications may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to the structure, market and
other factors that may affect the value of SDG Bonds may be revised or withdrawn at any time.
Additionally, any such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or
label (i) is only current as of the date on which it was initially issued and the criteria and/or
considerations that form the basis of such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-
Issuance Report and/or label may change at any time, (ii) only provides an opinion, review,
assurance, certification or Post-Issuance Report on certain environmental and related
considerations and (iii) is not intended to address any credit, market or other aspects of an
investment in SDG Bonds including, without limitation, market price, marketability, investor
preference or suitability of any security to fulfil any specific investment criteria.
The criteria and/or considerations that form the basis of any such opinion, review, assurance,
certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or label may change at any time and the opinion,
review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or label may be amended, updated,
supplemented, replaced and/or withdrawn.
Prospective investors must determine for themselves the relevance of any such opinion, review,
assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report, label and/or the information contained therein.
Any second or third party opinion, and any other opinion provided in relation to SDG Bonds is
a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact. Second or third party opinion providers may
not be subject to any specific regulatory or other regime or oversight and any opinions provided
are provided for information purposes only and on a no liability basis.
13
ADDITIONAL NOTE RISKS IN RESPECT OF SUBORDINATED NOTES ISSUED AS SDG
BONDS
In the “Summary of the Programme” section of the Information Memorandum, the
“Additional Note Risks (Subordinated Notes)” sub-section shall include the following
additional note risks:
The SDG Bonds may not meet investor expectations or requirements
While it is the intention of the Issuer to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the
SDG Bonds for the allocation to an eligible asset or assets, there is no contractual or regulatory
obligation to do so. Additionally, the Framework is subject to review and change and any
amendment, update, supplement and/or replacement of the Framework may be applied in
respect of the SDG Bonds.
No assurance or representation is given to investors by the Issuer or any other person:
(a) that, at any time, the use of an amount equal to the net proceeds of the SDG Bonds will
satisfy (whether in whole or in part) any present or future investor expectations or
requirements as regards any investment criteria or guidelines with which such investor
or its investments are required to comply, in particular with regard to any direct or indirect
sustainability impact of any projects or uses, the subject of or related to, any eligible
assets, eligible businesses and projects under the Framework;
(b) that, at any time, any assets, projects, businesses or uses the subject of, or related to,
any eligible assets will meet or, if met, continue to meet on an ongoing basis any or all
investor expectations regarding "green", "sustainable", "social" or other similar labels
(including any laws, regulations, market standards or guidance, including the ICMA
Principles) or any requirements of such labels or market standards as they may evolve
from time to time. Furthermore, it should be noted that there is currently no clear definition
(legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what constitutes, a
"green", "social" or "sustainable" or an equivalently-labelled project or as to what precise
attributes are required for a particular project to be defined as "green, "social" or
"sustainable" or such other equivalent label and if developed in the future, SDG Bonds
may not comply with any such definition or label;
(c) that any adverse environmental, social and/or other impacts will not occur during the
implementation of any assets, projects, businesses or uses the subject of, or related to,
any eligible assets;
(d) that, at any time (within any specified period or at all), (i) any assets, projects, businesses
qualifying as eligible assets will be available or meet any eligible categories, or (ii) any
eligible asset will continue to meet any eligible category, or that the Issuer will be able to
replace any eligible assets which no longer meet the relevant eligible category, or (iii)
any eligible assets will be, or will be capable of being, implemented in or substantially in
such manner and/or in accordance with any timing schedule or at all or with the results
or outcome as originally expected or anticipated by the Issuer and, accordingly, there is
no assurance that an amount equal to the net proceeds of the SDG Bonds will be totally
or partially allocated to such eligible assets; or
(e) as to the suitability or reliability for any purpose whatsoever of any opinion, review,
assurance, certification or Post-Issuance Report of any third party (whether or not
solicited by the Issuer) which may be made available in connection with SDG Bonds
(including any second or third party opinion).
The Framework has not been assessed for compliance against ICMA's Green Bond Principles
of June 2025 or ICMA's Social Bond Principles of June 2025.
14
SDG Bonds do not benefit from any arrangements to enhance the performance of the
SDG Bonds or any contractual rights derived solely from the intended use of proceeds
of such SDG Bonds and are not linked to the performance of the eligible assets.
Investors should note that none of:
(a) a failure by the Issuer (either totally or partially) (i) to allocate amounts equal to the net
proceeds, or use the proceeds, of the SDG Bonds in the manner described in this
Pricing Supplement and the Framework, or (ii) to evaluate, select and report on eligible
assets, or to manage amounts equal to the net proceeds of the SDG Bonds, each as
may be described in this Pricing Supplement and/or in the Framework or (iii) to comply
with the Framework, the SDGs or, the ICMA published documents entitled "The Social
Bond Principles June 2023", "The Sustainability Bond Guidelines June 2021", "The
Green Bond Principles June 2021 (With June 2022 Appendix 1)", "The Social Bond
Principles June 2025" and "The Green Bond Principles June 2025" (“ICMA
Documents”) or (iv) to prepare, obtain or publish any opinion, review, assurance,
certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or label relating to the SDG Bonds (including
any periodic use of proceeds or impact report, as described in the Framework);
(b) a failure of a third party to provide any opinion, review, assurance, Post-Issuance
Report or certification in connection with the Framework or the SDG Bonds;
(c) any opinion, review, assurance, certification or Post-Issuance Report stating that the
Issuer is not complying or fulfilling relevant criteria (either totally or partially) with
respect to the Framework or the SDG Bonds;
(d) any revision, amendment or withdrawal, for any reason, of (i) any opinion, review,
assurance, Post-Issuance Report, certification or label relating to the SDG Bonds
and/or the Framework, or (ii) any criteria on which any such opinion, review, assurance,
Post-Issuance Report, certification and/or label was given;
(e) the failure of the SDG Bonds to meet investors' expectations or requirements regarding
any SDGs, ESG or similar label(s) or characteristic(s); or
(f) any change in the performance of any eligible asset (including the loss of any SDG,
ESG or equivalent characteristics),
will (i) constitute an Event of Default under the Conditions, or (ii) be a breach of contract with
respect to the SDG Bonds, or (iii) give rise to any other claim or right (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, any early redemption option or right to accelerate the SDG Bonds) of a
holder of SDG Bonds against the Issuer, or (iv) require the Issuer to redeem the SDG Bonds,
or (v) affect the regulatory treatment of the SDG Bonds.
The occurrence of any of the above factors may, however, cause damage to the ANZ Group's
reputation and/or have a material adverse effect on the value of the SDG Bonds and/or result
in adverse consequences for certain investors with requirements to invest in securities to be
used for a particular purpose who may need to sell the SDG Bonds as a result of the SDG
Bonds not falling within their investment requirements. Potential investors should note that
there is no recourse to the Issuer in these circumstances.
The market price of SDG Bonds may adversely change
If any of the risks outlined above materialise, this may have a material adverse effect on the
market price of the SDG Bonds and also potentially the market price of any other securities
intended to finance the Issuer's lending for eligible assets and may result in adverse
consequences for certain investors with requirements to invest in securities to be used for a
particular purpose (including, without limitation, if such investors are required to dispose of their
SDG Bonds as a result of such SDG Bonds not meeting any investment requirements set by
or for such investor, which could lead to increased volatility and/or material decreases in the
market price of such SDG Bonds).
15
No assurance of suitability or reliability of any second party opinion or any other opinion
or certification of any third party relating to the SDG Bonds
Any second or third party opinions may provide an opinion on certain environmental and related
considerations. Any such opinions are a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact.
No representation or assurance is given as to the suitability or reliability of any second or third
party opinion or any review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any third party
made available in connection with the SDG Bonds. Any second or third party opinion and any
other such review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any third party is not
intended to address any credit, market or other aspects of any investment in the SDG Bonds,
including without limitation market price, marketability, investor preference or suitability of any
security or any other factors that may affect the value of the SDG Bonds. Any second or third
party opinion and any other such review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any
third party is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the SDG Bonds and is current only as
of the date it was issued.
The criteria and/or considerations that form the basis of any second or third party opinion and
any other such review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report of any third party may
change at any time and such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report
may be amended, updated, supplemented, replaced and/or withdrawn. Any withdrawal of any
such opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report may have a material
adverse effect on the value of the SDG Bonds in respect of which such opinion, review,
assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report is given and /or result in adverse consequences
for certain investors with portfolio mandates to invest in securities to be used for a particular
purpose. Prospective investors must determine for themselves the relevance of any such
opinion, review, assurance, certification, Post-Issuance Report and/or the information
contained therein.
