About ShareGift Australia
ShareGift Australia is a not-for-profit organisation that provides an easy and tax-deductible way for shareholders to convert their small shareholdings into donations for Australian charities.
Based on the successful UK charity ShareGift, which has generated over £14 million and supported more than 1,700 different UK registered charities since 1996, ShareGift Australia provides an easy way for shareholders to donate small parcels of shares which would otherwise be difficult to trade.
Shareholders interested in donating their shares are invited to complete the share sale donation form on the reverse of this letter. Once the form is returned, ShareGift Australia will arrange the sale of the shares and distribute 100% of the proceeds to eligible Australian charities.
Donors are invited to recommend charities to receive donations. The Board of ShareGift Australia considers these recommendations in determining which charity will receive donations and the amount and timing of these gifts. To be eligible, charities must have deductible gift recipient (DGR) 1 and tax concession charity (TCC) status. Further information on DGR status is available at
www.abr.business.gov.au/dgrlisting.aspx. Shares are sold through brokers who support ShareGift and provide free broker services.
The program is endorsed by both the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the Australian Shareholder’s Association (ASA). ShareGift Australia welcomes donations of any amount and the minimum donation amount made by ShareGift Australia to charities is $1,000.
To date, ShareGift Australia has donated to over 175 charities. You can view the list of recipients and find out more about ShareGift Australia at www.sharegiftaustralia.org.au.
Charities supported by AMP
AMP supports many charities including the following, who would be delighted to be nominated on your donation form:
-
AIME runs an education-based mentoring program for Indigenous high school students to help them finish school and enter university.
-
Beacon Foundation supports disadvantaged young people to stay in school and successfully move to further education, training or employment.
-
Brotherhood of St Laurence helps people who are experiencing poverty and disadvantage through research, community services and advocacy.

Small Shareholding Sale Facility
Terms and Conditions
AMP Limited ABN 49 079 354 519 (AMP)
1. What is the AMP Small Shareholding Sale Facility (Sale Facility)?
AMP Limited is conducting the Sale Facility in accordance with clause 9 of the AMP Constitution to provide eligible shareholders with an opportunity to have their small shareholdings sold, brokerage-free.
You should read these terms and conditions, together with the attached letter and the Share Retention Form (green form) carefully.
If you want to keep your AMP shares you must return the enclosed Share Retention Form to AMP so it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 4 December 2012. Alternatively, if you acquire additional AMP shares on market before market close on 4 December 2012, AMP will not sell your shares under the Sale Facility.
If you want AMP to sell your shares under the Sale Facility and remit the sale proceeds to you, you do not need to do anything.
2. Which shareholders are eligible?
Eligible shareholders are those holding a less than marketable parcel of AMP shares (as defined in section 3 below) as at 5.00pm on 12 October 2012 (the Record Date) and whose registered address is in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom or certain other countries (Eligible Shareholders).
AMP may determine that Eligible Shareholders will be ineligible to participate in the Sale Facility based on the country of their registered address.
Only Eligible Shareholders will be sent a letter from AMP Limited advising them of their eligibility to participate in the Sale Facility. This letter will be sent to the address registered on the shareholding at the Record Date.
Additional restrictions on eligibility are set out in section 22.
3. What is a less than marketable parcel of shares?
The Australian Securities Exchange considers a less than marketable parcel is a holding worth less than A$500. Based on the closing price of AMP shares on the Record Date, a less than marketable parcel is a holding of 112 AMP shares or less.
4. Should I participate?
AMP makes no recommendation as to whether you should sell your shares under the Sale Facility. If you participate in the Sale Facility, AMP will pay the brokerage and handling fees for the sale of your shares.
2
You should seek independent legal and financial advice (including tax advice) specific to your circumstances when determining whether to participate in the Sale Facility.
If you want to keep your AMP shares you must return the enclosed Share Retention Form to AMP so it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 4 December 2012.

This Sale Facility is not the only way to sell your shares. You can also sell your shares through the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) by contacting a broker in your country of residence. A list of brokers which AMP recommends can be found on the AMP website: amp.com.au/shareholdercentre.
5. Why is the Sale Facility being offered?
AMP values all of its shareholders, however AMP also recognises that holders with small holdings of shares may find it difficult or expensive to dispose of their shares in the usual way.
Further, as AMP incurs administrative fees for maintaining shareholder accounts and distributing shareholder communications, irrespective of the number of shares held, the Sale Facility will assist AMP to reduce its administrative costs.
6. What should I do if I want to keep my AMP shares?
You must return the enclosed Share Retention Form (green form) to AMP so it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 4 December 2012.
OR
You must purchase additional AMP shares on market before market close on 4 December 2012 so that your holding has increased after the Record Date.
OR
If you hold more than A$500 worth of AMP shares but your holding is split between two or more AMP shareholding accounts, you must combine your holding into one account before 5.00pm on 4 December 2012.
If you take one of these steps before the relevant time AMP will not sell your shares. If you do not take one of these steps before the
3
relevant time, AMP will sell your shares under the Sale Facility, pursuant to clause 9 of the AMP Constitution.
AMP will confirm that you remain eligible to participate on 7 December 2012. You will not be notified of this.
7. What if my shares are held jointly?
If you are a joint holder of shares, AMP will not sell your shares if one holder returns the Share Retention Form (green form) to AMP so it is received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 4 December 2012. AMP will consider this to be effective notice from all shareholders that the shares are to be retained.
8. What should I do if I want to participate in the Sale Facility?
If you are eligible and you want AMP to sell your shareholding on your behalf under the Sale Facility, you do not need to do anything .
To ensure you receive your sale proceeds, please refer to section 9.
9. How will I receive the sale proceeds?
Shareholders with Australian, New Zealand or United Kingdom bank accounts:
Proceeds will be paid by direct credit to the Australian, New Zealand or United Kingdom bank account recorded against your shareholding as at 4 December 2012. Please log in to your AMP shareholding at amp.com.au/shareholdercentre to confirm we have your correct details.
Direct credit payments will be made by AMP on 21 December 2012. You may not receive the sale proceeds until after this date as it will depend on the time it takes your financial institution to process the payment.
Payments will be paid by direct credit in the currency of your bank account. See section 13 for information on currency exchange.
Shareholders without Australian, New Zealand or United Kingdom bank accounts:
If you live in Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom and we do not have an Australian, New Zealand or United Kingdom bank account recorded against your shareholding, we have sent you a Direct Credit Form (blue form). You need to return the Direct Credit Form (blue form) to us by 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 4 December 2012. If you do not send back the Direct Credit Form (blue form), we will pay the proceeds from the sale of your shares into the AMP shareholder dividend account to be held on your behalf, until you
4
provide us with your bank account details. AMP does not pay interest on unclaimed money.
If you live outside of Australia, New Zealand or the United Kingdom and we do not have an Australian, New Zealand or United Kingdom bank account recorded against to your shareholding, the proceeds from the sale of your shares will be paid to you by cheque in Australian dollars. AMP will mail your cheque to you on 21 December 2012. You may not receive your cheque until after this date as it will take time to move through the postal system.
Shareholders recorded on our register as ‘lost’:
For security reasons, if we consider you to be a ‘lost’ shareholder, we will pay the proceeds from the sale of your shares into the AMP shareholder dividend account to be held on your behalf, until you provide your bank account details. We will not send you a cheque. This payment will be made on 21 December 2012.
10. How will my shares be sold?
AMP Limited has appointed ETRADE Australia Securities Limited (E*TRADE) as its execution-only broker (Broker) to sell shares participating in the Sale Facility on the ASX.
By participating in the Sale Facility, you appoint AMP as your agent to receive any notice (including a Financial Services Guide and any update of that document) that E*TRADE is required to provide under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). This Financial Services Guide is available on the AMP website: amp.com.au/shareholdercentre.
11. When will my shares be sold?
Shares sold via the Sale Facility will be sold by ETRADE on the ASX in the ordinary course of trading. ETRADE is expected to sell all of the shares within a five day trading period. This trading period is expected to be between 10 December 2012 and 14 December 2012 but will be determined by E*TRADE in its discretion (Trading Period).
You cannot direct AMP or E*TRADE to sell your shares on a particular day, at a particular time or for a particular price.
12. What price will I receive for my shares?
The sale price for each of your shares will be the volume weighted average price (VWAP) per share sold by E*TRADE under the Sale Facility during the Trading Period (Sale Price). The Sale Price will be in Australian dollars.
The Sale Price will be determined by ETRADE by dividing the aggregate sale price achieved by ETRADE during the Trading Period by the total number of shares sold. As the Sale Price is an average, it
5
may be more or less than the actual price at which your individual shares are sold. Interest will not be payable on your sale proceeds.
AMP will verify the accuracy of the calculation based on data provided by E*TRADE.
It is expected that the Sale Price will be announced during the business day following the end of the Trading Period. The Sale Price will be announced on the ASX and will also be available on the AMP website: amp.com.au/shareholdercentre
All shareholders participating in the Sale Facility will receive the same Sale Price per share. Each shareholder’s sale proceeds will be determined by multiplying the Sale Price by the number of shares held by the shareholder which are sold through the Sale Facility.
Neither AMP nor E*TRADE makes any representations regarding the price you will receive for the sale of your shares. The trading price of AMP shares is subject to change from time to time and depends on a number of factors at any given time, including prevailing market conditions. The Sale Price may not be the same as the AMP trading price at a particular point in time during the Trading Period. The Sale Price may be less than the price at which you acquired your AMP shares.
You can obtain information on the AMP share price through the ASX website: asx.com.au
If you have any money owing in relation to your AMP shares, AMP will deduct these amounts from the Sale Price, in accordance with the AMP Constitution.
13. What price will I receive in New Zealand dollars or Pounds Sterling?
If you are entitled to receive your sale proceeds in New Zealand dollars or Pounds Sterling, AMP will calculate your sale proceeds by applying a foreign currency exchange rate to the Sale Price.
AMP will apply the foreign currency exchange rate published on the Reserve Bank of Australia website at the close of business on a date selected by AMP. This date will be a date before the Record Date. The exchange rate will be published on the AMP shareholder website: amp.com.au/shareholdercentre from 25 October 2012 and will be noted on the sale statement sent to New Zealand and United Kingdom shareholders.
6
14. What if I hold my shares through a broker holding?
If you have a CHESS/Broker sponsored holding, you can still participate in the Sale Facility. As outlined in clause 9.4 of the AMP Constitution, AMP may, without further notice, move your shares to an issuer sponsored holding to be sold under the Sale Facility.
15. What if I hold my shares in a New Zealand Exchange (NZX) holding?
If you hold your shares in a NZX holding, you can still participate in the Sale Facility.
16. When will I receive the sale proceeds?
Shareholders with Australian, New Zealand and United Kingdom bank accounts:
If you have an Australian, New Zealand or United Kingdom bank account recorded on your shareholding at 4 December 2012, you will be paid by direct credit in the currency of your bank account.
