About this prospectus

This prospectus relates to the offer by AMP Limited (ABN 49 079 354 519) ( AMP ) of AMP Subordinated Notes 2 ( AMP Notes 2 ) to raise at least $300 million ( Offer ).

This prospectus is dated and was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) on 14 November 2013 pursuant to section 713(1) of the Corporations Act. This is a replacement prospectus which replaces the prospectus dated 6 November 2013 and lodged with ASIC on that date ( original prospectus ). This prospectus expires on the date which is 13 months after the date of the original prospectus ( Expiry date ) and no AMP Notes 2 will be issued on the basis of this prospectus after the Expiry date.

Neither ASIC nor the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) takes any responsibility for the contents of this prospectus or the merits of the investment to which this prospectus relates.

This prospectus also contains information on an offer ( Reinvestment Offer ) by AMP for Eligible AMP Notes holders to apply to sell to AMP some or all of the Australian dollar tranche of subordinated notes ( A$ AMP Notes ) issued in 2009 by AMP Group Finance Services Limited ( AMPGFS ). Neither AMP nor AMPGFS is providing any investment advice or making any recommendation to Eligible AMP Notes holders in relation to the Reinvestment Offer.

AMP

AMP Notes 2 are to be issued by AMP, an ASX‑listed company incorporated in Australia. AMP is the non‑operating holding company of Australia and New Zealand’s leading independent wealth management business. References in this prospectus to AMP are to the holding company on a standalone basis and references to the AMP group are to AMP and its controlled entities.

AMP is not a bank or authorised deposit‑taking institution under the Banking Act and is not a life insurer under the Life Insurance Act.

AMP Notes 2 are unsecured and subordinated and may be either Converted into AMP Ordinary Shares or Written-off if a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs

AMP Notes 2 are subject to investment risk, including possible delays in payment (if the Solvency Condition is not satisfied) and loss of income and principal invested. There is a risk that you may lose some or all of the money you invested in AMP Notes 2, either because a Non‑Viability Trigger Event occurs or on a winding‑up of AMP if there are insufficient assets to satisfy securities and obligations ranking ahead of AMP Notes 2. In either case you will not be repaid any or all of the Face Value and will not receive any or all of the Interest payments due and unpaid at that time. Neither AMP nor any member of the AMP group in any way guarantees the capital value and/or performance of AMP Notes 2 or any particular rate of return.

AMP Notes 2 are unsecured notes for the purposes of section 283BH of the Corporations Act. AMP Notes 2 are issued by AMP under the Trust Deed and Holders have no direct right to claim against AMP except as provided in the Trust Deed (which includes the terms of AMP Notes 2).

3.4 Business update

On–25–October–2013,–AMP–Limited–reported–its– third–quarter–cashflows–and–provided–an–update–on– its–Wealth–Protection–business–for–the–third–quarter– to–30–September–2013.–AMP–reported–experience– losses–for–Q3–13–of–$24–million–compared–with–Q3– 12–experience–losses–of–$37–million.

AMP–has–brought–forward–its–year-end–review–of– experience–for–those–product–areas–that–have–the– potential–to–impact–the–FY–13–operating–results.– While–this–review–is–yet–to–be–completed,–AMP– expects–to–revise–its–incurred–but–not–reported– reserves–for–the–group–insurance–business–and–its– best–estimate–lapse–assumptions–for–the–NMLA– income–protection–book,–which–are–expected–to– have–a–negative–impact–on–both–the–Q4–and–the– FY–13–operating–results.

The–trend–in–lapse–experience–in–the–NMLA– income–protection–book–has–continued–to–worsen–

in–Q3–13–and–as–a–result–AMP–will–strengthen–its– lapse–assumptions–as–part–of–its–year-end–review.

In–total,–these–two–adjustments–are–expected– to–result–in–$55–to–$65–million–reduction–in– AMP’s–operating–results–for–Q4–13,–in–addition– to–any–further–experience–outcomes–in–the– fourth–quarter.

Further–changes–in–assumptions–across–the–life– insurance–portfolio–are–likely–at–31–December– 2013–which–could–lead–to–adjustments–to–the– embedded–value–of–the–business–but–are–not– expected–to–impact–the–FY–13–operating–results.

AMP–regards–improving–the–performance–of–the– Wealth–Protection–business–as–one–of–its–highest– priorities–and–continues–to–implement–short–and– medium–term–actions–to–improve–claims–and– lapse–experience.

The–AMP–group–continues–to–investigate–and– assess–a–range–of–corporate–initiatives–consistent– with–its–strategic–priorities–both–domestically– and–internationally–as–they–arise,–including– acquisitions,–divestments,–mergers,–joint–ventures– and–strategic–alliances–(which,–if–completed,– could–have–a–material–impact–on–the–AMP– group).–The–AMP–group–also–continues–to–explore– opportunities–for–further–organic–growth–in– existing–and–related–businesses–as–an–avenue–of– growth–and–diversification.

The–AMP–group’s–strategic–priorities–are–to– continue–investment–in:

> Reshaping the Australian business

With–the–integration–of–AXA–largely–complete,– the–AMP–group–is–now–increasing–the–scale– and–pace–of–change–in–its–Australian–business– to–better–respond–to–changing–consumer– behaviour–and–on-going–margin–pressures.– In–1H13,–the–AMP–group–created–the–new–role– of–Chief–Customer–Officer,–reporting–to–the– CEO–to–lead–this–work.

In–addition,–the–AMP–group–is–putting–in– place–a–new–three-year–business–efficiency– program–to–redirect–investment–to–where– customers–value–it–most,–as–well–as–reduce– the–AMP–group’s–overall–cost–base.–Savings–are– expected–to–come–from:

  • –– rationalising–product–duplication–and– construction–to–better–utilise–scale

  • –– increased–use–of–cloud–computing

  • –– automation,–including–increased– self-service–opportunities–for–customers

  • –– improving–back–office–efficiency,–and

  • –– greater–office–space–efficiency.

One-off–costs–for–the–program–will–be–funded– through–a–combination–of–future–retained– earnings,–capital–surplus–and–the–dividend– reinvestment–program.

  • New domestic growth opportunities, such as AMP SMSF, the Horizons Academy and the North platform

The–AMP–group–continues–to–invest–in–areas– where–it–sees–profitable–growth,–such–as– SMSF.–After–a–year–in–operation,–its–AMP– SMSF–business–is–one–of–the–leaders–in–the– Australian–SMSF–administration–market.

The–AMP–Horizons–Academy–continues–to– successfully–recruit,–train–and–educate–new– advisers.–More–than–600–financial–advisers– have–graduated–from–the–program–since– it–began–in–2007.–In–1H13,–the–Academy– welcomed–two–new–intakes–to–the–program.–

The–AMP–group–continued–to–upgrade–its– popular–North–platform–during–1H13,–with– its–cash–flows–almost–tripling–over–1H12–to– $1.9–billion.

> Targeted international expansion through AMP Capital

AMP–Capital’s–key–priorities–are–to–generate– revenue–growth–through:

  • –– delivering–outstanding–investment– outcomes–to–clients

  • –– building–a–differentiated–client–experience– by–driving–strong–client–engagement

  • –– –partnering–effectively–with–AFS–to–deliver– investment–solutions–for–retail,–SMSF–and– corporate–super–customers

  • –– –expanding–the–global–pension–fund–client– base,–and

  • –– –building–preferential–distribution– partnerships–in–select–Asian–markets,– particularly–Japan–and–China.–

At–1H13,–7–per–cent–of–AMP–Capital’s–AUM– was–sourced–from–international–investors.– This–includes–A$5.6–billion–it–manages–for– clients–in–Japan.–AMP–Capital’s–business– alliance–with–MUTB–has–helped–expand–its– distribution–reach–in–Japan.–

AMP–continues–to–explore–opportunities– internationally–through–acquisitions–and– alliances–(which,–if–completed,–could–have– a–material–impact–on–the–AMP–group).–In– addition–to–its–business–alliance–in–Japan– with–MUTB,–AMP–has–a–particular–focus– on–opportunities–to–partner–in–investment–

As–a–provider–of–banking,–life–insurance–and– superannuation–products,–the–AMP–group–is– subject–to–ongoing–oversight–by–financial–services– regulators–in–the–markets–in–which–it–operates.

The–principal–regulators–that–supervise–and– regulate–the–activities–of–the–AMP–group–and– the–activities–of–the–businesses–and–funds–that– members–of–the–AMP–group–manage–are–APRA,– RBA,–ASIC,–ASX,–ACCC–and–AUSTRAC.

3.9.1 Australia

APRA

APRA–regulates–companies–operating–in–the– Australian–financial–services–industry.–APRA–has– established–prudential–standards–for–all–general– insurers,–banks–and–life–insurance–companies–and,– as–at–the–date–of–this–prospectus,–is–in–the–process– of–developing–standards–for–conglomerate–groups– (due–for–implementation–in–January–2015).

From–1–January–2013,–the–AMP–group–was– required–to–comply–with–the–Basel–III–framework– (for–Australian–authorised–deposit-taking– institutions)–and–APRA’s–revised–capital–standards– for–regulated–general–insurers–and–life–insurers,– known–as–‘LAGIC’.–

The–Basel–III–reforms–included–stricter–eligibility– criteria–for–capital–instruments,–introduction–of– capital–conservation–and–counter-cyclical–buffers.– The–LAGIC–reforms–are–aimed–at–improving–the– risk–sensitivity–of–capital–standards.

Under–the–revised–capital–standards,–APRA– classifies–regulatory–capital–into–two–tiers.– Tier–1–Capital–represents–‘going-concern–capital’– and–comprises–the–highest–quality–capital–

elements.–It–is–divided–into–Common–Equity– Tier–1–Capital–and–Additional–Tier–1–Capital.– Common–Equity–Tier–1–Capital–is–recognised– from–the–perspective–of–a–financial–institution– as–the–highest–quality–component–of–capital.– Common–Equity–Tier–1–Capital–comprises– paid-up–ordinary–shares,–retained–earnings,– other–disclosed–reserves–permitted–for–inclusion– by–APRA–and–certain–other–items–permitted–by– APRA–less–regulatory–adjustments–applied–in–the– calculation–of–Common–Equity–Tier–1–Capital.– The–components–of–Tier–1–Capital–that–are–not– common–equity–and–which–do–not–satisfy–all– of–the–criteria–for–inclusion–in–Common–Equity– Tier–1–Capital–are–referred–to–as–Additional–Tier–1– Capital.–Tier–2–Capital–represents–other–elements– which–fall–short–of–some–of–the–characteristics– of–Tier–1–Capital–but–which–contribute–to–the– overall–strength–of–the–regulated–company–as–a– going–concern.

The–capital–standards–being–developed– for–conglomerate–groups–are–expected–to– be–implemented–on–1–January–2015.–Draft– standards–have–been–released–covering– capital–management,–group–governance,–risk– management–and–risk–exposures.–It–is–expected– that–the–capital–standards–will–be–based–on–a– Common–Equity–Tier–1–Capital–regime,–which– means–that–eligible–capital–for–the–purposes–of– those–standards–will–be–required–to–be–in–the–form– of–common–equity–only,–subject–to–transitional– arrangements–confirmed–by–APRA–(which–are– described–in–section–2.5).

3.9.2 New Zealand

Reserve Bank of New Zealand

The–Reserve–Bank–of–New–Zealand–regulates– the–AMP–group’s–life–insurance–businesses– in–New–Zealand.–Regulations–in–relation–to– these–businesses–have–been–significantly– revised–in–recent–years,–including–new–licensing– requirements,–required–capital–methodologies– and–reinsurance–purchase–requirements–(up–to–a– 1-in-1,000–year–event).

The–new–regulations–are–expected–to–have– limited–impact–on–the–AMP–group’s–New–Zealand– business–as–existing–governance–frameworks– have–been–adopted–for–consistency–with–the–new– regulatory–requirements–in–effect.

The–AMP–group–holds–capital–to–protect–customers,–creditors–and–shareholders–against–unexpected–losses.– AMP’s–businesses–and–the–AMP–group–maintain–capital–targets–(target–surplus),–reflecting–their–material– risks–(including–financial–risk,–insurance–and–product–risk–and–operational–risk)–and–AMP–group’s–risk–appetite.– The–target–surplus–is–a–management–guide–to–the–level–of–excess–capital–that–the–AMP–group–seeks–to–carry– to–reduce–the–risk–of–breaching–minimum–regulatory–requirements–(MRR).–In–addition,–the–participating– business–of–the–life–insurance–companies–are–managed–to–target–a–very–high–level–of–confidence–that–the– business–is–self-supporting–and–that–there–are–sufficient–assets–to–support–policyholder–liabilities.

The–main–MRR–for–AMP–group–arise–from:

  • –– AMP–Life–and–NMLA–––capital–adequacy–requirements–as–specified–under–the–APRA–Life–Insurance– Prudential–Standards

  • –– AMP–Bank–––capital–requirements–as–specified–under–the–APRA–ADI–Prudential–Standards

  • –– AMP–Capital–and–other–ASIC–regulated–businesses–––capital–requirements–under–AFSL.

In–addition–to–managing–the–level–of–capital–resources,–the–AMP–group–also–aims–to–optimise–the–mix– of–capital–resources–to–minimise–the–cost–of–capital–and–maximise–shareholder–value.–The–AMP–group’s– capital–management–plan–forms–part–of–the–broader–strategic–planning–process.

The–AMP–group’s–capital–resources–include–ordinary–equity–and–interest-bearing–liabilities.–The–AMP–group– excludes–the–interest–bearing–liabilities–of–its–banking–subsidiary,–AMP–Bank,–life–insurance–subsidiaries– (AMP–Life–and–NMLA)–and–controlled–investment–subsidiaries–and–trusts–from–the–AMP–group–capital– resources.–Included–within–interest-bearing–liabilities–are–subordinated–debt–instruments–that–qualify–as– regulatory–capital–under–APRA’s–prudential–standards.

Section 5 Investment risks

5.1 Risks associated with investing in AMP Subordinated Notes 2

5.1.1 AMP Subordinated Notes 2 are unsecured and subordinated obligations

AMP–Notes–2–are–unsecured–and–subordinated– notes–to–be–issued–by–AMP.

AMP–Notes–2–are–not–secured–over–any–of–the– AMP–group’s–assets.–They–are–not–deposit– liabilities–of–AMP–Bank–or–any–other–member–of– the–AMP–group–and–are–not–policies–with–any– member–of–the–AMP–group–for–the–purposes– of–the–Life–Insurance–Act.–They–are–also–not– investments–in–any–superannuation–or–other–fund– managed–by–a–member–of–the–AMP–group.

AMP–Notes–2–are–claims–on–AMP.–AMP–is–a– non-operating–holding–company.–A–substantial– majority–of–its–assets–are–its–investments–in– other–members–of–the–AMP–group.–Its–claims– in–respect–of–those–investments–rank–behind– depositors,–policyholders–and–other–creditors–in– a–winding-up–of–those–companies.–Holders–have– no–claim–on–any–other–members–of–the–AMP– group–for–payment–of–any–amount–in–respect–of– AMP–Notes–2.–

On–a–winding-up–of–AMP–(if–a–Non-Viability– Trigger–Event–has–not–occurred),–AMP–Notes– 2–rank–for–payment–behind–Senior–Creditors.– Holders–will–lose–the–money–invested–in–AMP– Notes–2,–and–any–Interest–due–and–unpaid–at–that– time,–if–there–are–insufficient–assets–to–satisfy– Senior–Creditors–in–a–winding-up–of–AMP.–

If–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs–and–AMP– Notes–2–are–Converted,–Holders–will–rank–equally– with–other–holders–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–for– the–return–of–any–surplus–assets–in–a–winding-up– of–AMP–after–payment–of–all–creditors–and–holders– of–any–preference–shares.–If–the–AMP–Ordinary– Shares–to–which–certain–Holders–would–have–been– entitled–upon–Conversion–are–issued–to–a–Sale–and– Transfer–Agent,–because–the–Holders–are–either– Ineligible–Holders–or–they–elected–not–to–receive– AMP–Ordinary–Shares,–such–Holders–will–have–the– right–to–receive–the–cash–proceeds–of–the–sale–of– the–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–on–market,–and–will– have–no–claim–against–AMP–or–any–other–member– of–the–AMP–group–in–respect–of–their–AMP–Notes–

2.–If–AMP–Notes–2–are–unable–to–be–Converted– for–any–reason,–they–will–be–immediately–and– irrevocably–Written-off–and–the–rights–of–Holders– under–AMP–Notes–2–will–be–terminated–and– Holders–will–have–no–claim–on–the–assets–of–AMP– or–any–other–member–of–the–AMP–group.

5.1.2 All payments on AMP Subordinated Notes 2 are subject to satisfaction of the Solvency Condition

All–of–AMP’s–obligations–to–make–payments– in–respect–of–AMP–Notes–2–are–subject–to–the– Solvency–Condition–being–satisfied.

If–the–Solvency–Condition–is–not–satisfied,–that–is,– if–AMP–is–not–able–to–pay–its–debts–as–they–become– due–and–payable–and–AMP’s–assets–do–not– exceed–its–liabilities–both–at–the–time–of–making– the–payment–and–immediately–after–making– the–payment,–no–payment–will–be–made.–AMP’s– failure–to–pay–will–not–be–an–Event–of–Default–and– any–unpaid–amount–will–accrue–interest–until–it– is–paid–and–will–be–payable–on–the–first–Interest– Payment–Date–(in–the–case–of–Interest)–or–the– first–date–(in–the–case–of–any–other–amount)–on– which–AMP–may–pay–the–amount–in–compliance– with–the–Solvency–Condition.–However,–if–a– Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs–and–AMP–is– required–to–Convert–or–Write-off–AMP–Notes–2,– AMP’s–accrued–and–future–obligations–to–make– payments–in–respect–of–the–AMP–Notes–2–which– are–required–to–be–Converted–or–Written-off–will– cease,–in–which–case,–Holders–will–have–no–rights– to–recover–any–unpaid–amounts.

5.1.3 Market price of AMP Subordinated Notes 2

The–market–price–of–AMP–Notes–2–may–fluctuate– due–to–various–factors,–including–investor– perceptions,–Australian–and–international– economic–conditions,–changes–in–interest–rates,– credit–margins,–foreign–exchange–rates,–credit– ratings–and–capital–markets,–and–other–factors–that– may–affect–the–AMP–group’s–financial–performance– and–capital–position.–There–is–a–risk–that–one–or– more–of–these–factors–will–cause–the–market–value– of–AMP–Notes–2–to–decline–and–trade–at–a–market– price–below–the–Face–Value.–The–occurrence–of–a– Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–is–also–likely–to–cause– the–market–price–of–AMP–Notes–2–to–decline.

If–credit–spreads–on–debt–securities–widen,–the– Margin–payable–on–AMP–Notes–2–(which–is–

2.65–per–cent–per–annum–as–determined–in–the– Bookbuild)–will–be–less–attractive–to–purchasers–– of–AMP–Notes–2–than–at–the–Issue–Date.– Accordingly,–the–market–price–of–AMP–Notes– 2–may–reduce–to–reflect–the–lower–price–new– investors–are–willing–to–pay–for–AMP–Notes–2–– given–the–below-market–margin.–

The–market–price–of–AMP–Notes–2–may–be–more– sensitive–to–changes–in–interest–rates–and–credit– spreads–than–the–price–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–or– comparable–securities–issued–by–members–of–the– AMP–group–or–other–entities.

As–a–result,–Holders–who–wish–to–sell–their–AMP– Notes–2–before–the–Maturity–Date–may–incur– loss–if–AMP–Notes–2–trade–at–a–market–price– below–the–amount–at–which–AMP–Notes–2–were– acquired.–AMP–is–unable–to–forecast–or–guarantee– the–market–price–of–AMP–Notes–2.–Unlike–AMP– Ordinary–Shares,–AMP–Notes–2–do–not–provide– a–material–exposure–to–growth–in–the–AMP– group’s–business.

5.1.4 Liquidity

Although–AMP–intends–to–have–AMP–Notes–2– quoted–on–ASX,–there–is–no–guarantee–that–a– liquid–market–will–develop–for–AMP–Notes–2.– Any–market–for–AMP–Notes–2–may–be–less–liquid– than–the–market–for–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–or– comparable–securities–issued–by–members–of– the–AMP–group–or–other–entities–and–may–be– volatile.–The–market–price–of–AMP–Notes–2–is–likely– to–fluctuate–and,–if–you–wish–to–sell–or–otherwise– transfer–your–AMP–Notes–2,–you–may–be–unable– to–do–so–at–an–acceptable–price,–or–at–all,–if– insufficient–liquidity–exists–in–the–market–for–AMP– Notes–2.–You–may–suffer–loss–as–a–result.

5.1.5 Changes in the Interest Rate

The–Interest–Rate–is–calculated–for–each–Interest– Period–by–reference–to–the–Market–Rate–(being– the–average–of–rates–obtained–from–approved– trading–venues–by–the–Australian–Financial– Markets–Association–as–the–rates–at–which–certain– banks–are–prepared–to–lend–short-term–cash–to– each–other),–which–is–influenced–by–a–number–of– factors–and–varies–over–time.–The–Interest–Rate– will–fluctuate–and–may–increase–or–decrease–over– time–as–a–result–of–movements–in–the–Market– Rate–(see–section–2.2).–AMP–does–not–control– the–Market–Rate–nor–the–means–by–which–it–is– determined,–which–may–change.

As–the–Interest–Rate–fluctuates,–there–is–a–risk–that– it–may–become–less–attractive–when–compared– to–the–rates–of–return–available–on–comparable– securities–issued–by–AMP,–other–members–of–the– AMP–group–or–other–entities.

5.1.6 Conversion on account of a Non-Viability Trigger Event

If–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs,– AMP–may–be–required–to–immediately–and– irrevocably–Convert–some–or–all–AMP–Notes–2– into–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–in–accordance–with–a– Non-Viability–Determination.–This–could–be–at– any–time.–Accordingly,–any–such–Conversion–on– account–of–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–may– occur–on–dates–not–previously–contemplated– by–Holders,–which–may–be–disadvantageous–in– light–of–market–conditions–or–their–individual– circumstances–and–may–not–coincide–with–their– individual–preference–in–terms–of–timing.

Non-Viability Trigger Event

A–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs–when– APRA–provides–a–written–determination–to–AMP– that–the–conversion–or–write-off–of–Relevant– Subordinated–Instruments–(which–may–include– some–or–all–of–AMP–Notes–2)–in–accordance–with– their–terms–or–by–operation–of–law–is–necessary– because–either:

  • –– without–the–conversion–or–write-off,–or

  • –– without–a–public–sector–injection–of–capital– into,–or–equivalent–capital–support–with– respect–to,–AMP,–

APRA–considers–that–AMP–would–become– non-viable.

Whether–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–will–occur– is–at–the–discretion–of–APRA.–APRA–has–not–given– any–guidance–as–to–how–it–would–determine– non-viability–and–has–indicated–that–it–will–not– publish–further–guidance–on–the–parameters– used–to–determine–non-viability.–As–at–the– date–of–this–prospectus,–APRA–has–not–made–a– determination–of–non-viability.–The–requirements– to–include–non-viability–trigger–events–in–capital– instruments–were–introduced–only–on–1–January– 2013.–Non-viability–could–be–expected–to–include– serious–impairment–of–AMP–and–AMP–group’s– financial–position–and–insolvency,–but–may–not– be–confined–to–solvency–or–capital–measures– and–capital–ratios–and–may–include–other–

matters,–such–as–liquidity.–APRA’s–position–on– these–matters–may–change–over–time.–As–the– occurrence–of–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–is–at– the–discretion–of–APRA,–there–can–be–no–assurance– given–as–to–the–factors–and–circumstances–that– might–give–rise–to–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event.

Non-viability–may–be–significantly–impacted–by–a– number–of–factors,–including–factors–which–affect– the–business,–operation–and–financial–condition– of–members–of–the–AMP–group.–For–instance,– systemic–and–non-systemic–macro-economic,– environmental–and–operational–factors,–globally– and–in–Australia–and–New–Zealand–may–affect–the– viability–of–AMP.–

AMP–is–under–no–obligation–to–Holders–under– the–Terms–to–take–steps–(such–as–issuing–new– AMP–Ordinary–Shares)–to–avoid–the–risk–of–a– Non-Viability–Trigger–Event.

If–only–an–amount–of–Relevant–Subordinated– Instruments–is–required–to–be–converted,–AMP– will–determine–the–amount–of–AMP–Notes–2– which–will–be–Converted–and–other–Relevant– Subordinated–Instruments–which–will–be– converted–or–written-off–as–follows:

  • –– first,–AMP–will–convert–or–write-off–all– Relevant–Perpetual–Subordinated–Instruments– before–Converting–the–AMP–Notes–2;–and–

  • –– –second,–if–conversion–or–write-off–of–Relevant– Perpetual–Subordinated–Instruments–is–less– than–the–amount–sufficient–to–satisfy–APRA– that–AMP–would–not–become–non-viable–(and– provided–that–APRA–has–not–withdrawn–the– Non-Viability–Determination–as–a–result–of– the–conversion–or–write-off–of–the–Relevant– Perpetual–Subordinated–Instruments),–AMP– will–Convert–some–or–all–of–AMP–Notes–2–and– will–convert–or–write-off–other–Relevant–Term– Subordinated–Instruments–in–an–amount– which,–when–added–to–the–amount–of– Relevant–Perpetual–Subordinated–Instruments– converted–or–written-off,–will–satisfy–APRA.–

AMP–currently–has–no–Relevant–Perpetual– Subordinated–Instruments–on–issue–and–has–no– obligation–to–issue–any.–If–AMP–does–issue–any– Relevant–Perpetual–Subordinated–Instruments,– it–has–no–obligation–to–keep–them–on–issue–while– AMP–Notes–2–are–outstanding.–This–means–that,– if–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs,–some–or– all–of–the–AMP–Notes–2–would–be–required–to–be– Converted–and–some–or–all–of–the–other–Relevant–

Term–Subordinated–Instruments–(if–any–are– on–issue–at–the–time)–would–be–required–to–be– converted–or–written-off.

In–Converting–AMP–Notes–2–or–converting–or– writing-off–other–Relevant–Term–Subordinated– Instruments,–AMP–will–endeavour–to–treat–Holders– and–holders–of–other–Relevant–Term–Subordinated– Instruments–on–an–approximately–proportionate– basis,–but–may–discriminate–to–take–account–of– the–effect–on–marketable–parcels–of–AMP–Notes–2– and–other–logistical–considerations–and–the–need– to–effect–Conversion–immediately.–The–exercise– of–this–power–to–discriminate–may–adversely– affect–Holders.–

Effect of a Non-Viability Trigger Event

If–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs:–

  • –– AMP–must–immediately–Convert–the–relevant– amount–of–AMP–Notes–2–on–issue–(if–required– to–Convert–any–AMP–Notes–2)–into–the– Conversion–Number–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares.– If–AMP–is–unable–to–Convert–AMP–Notes–2– within–five–Business–Days–after–the–date–on– which–the–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs,– the–AMP–Notes–2–will–be–Written-off

  • –– from–the–date–the–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event– occurs,–AMP–will–treat–Holders–as–having– been–issued–the–Conversion–Number–of–AMP– Ordinary–Shares.–AMP–expects–any–ASX–trades– in–AMP–Notes–2–that–have–not–settled–on–the– date–a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–occurs–will– continue–to–settle–in–accordance–with–the– normal–ASX–T+3–settlement,–although–AMP– expects–the–seller–will–be–treated–as–having– delivered,–and–the–buyer–will–be–treated–as– having–acquired,–the–Conversion–Number–of– AMP–Ordinary–Shares–into–which–AMP–Notes– 2–have–been–Converted–as–a–result–of–the– occurrence–of–the–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event

  • –– alternatively,–AMP–may–immediately–seek– a–trading–halt–to–prevent–further–trading–in– AMP–Notes–2–on–ASX,–and–if–ASX–permits,–may– refuse–to–register–transfers–of–AMP–Notes– 2–that–have–not–settled—this–may–result–in– disruption–or–failures–in–trading–or–dealings–in– AMP–Notes–2–(which–may–cause–a–Holder–to– suffer–loss)

  • –– AMP–may–make–such–decisions–with–respect– to–the–identity–of–Holders–as–at–the–Conversion– Date–as–may–be–necessary–or–desirable–to–

ensure–Conversion–occurs–in–an–orderly– manner,–including–disregarding–any–transfers– of–AMP–Notes–2–that–have–not–been–settled–or– registered–at–that–time

  • –– Holders–will–not–receive–prior–notice–of–the– Conversion–or–have–any–rights–to–vote–in– respect–of–any–Conversion

  • –– –the–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–issued–on– Conversion–following–a–Non-Viability–Trigger– Event–may–not–be–quoted–at–the–time–of–issue,– or–at–all.

Conversion following a Non-Viability Trigger Event

The–number–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–that–a– Holder–will–receive–on–Conversion–following– a–Non-Viability–Trigger–Event–is–calculated– in–accordance–with–the–Conversion–Number– formula,–which–provides–for–a–calculation– based–on–a–discounted–five–Business–Day– VWAP–but–cannot–be–more–than–the–Maximum– Conversion–Number.

So,–this–will–result–in–a–Holder–receiving–AMP– Ordinary–Shares–that–may–be–worth–significantly– less–than–the–Face–Value–of–AMP–Notes–2–and–the– Holder–suffering–loss–as–a–result.–This–is–because:

  • –– the–number–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–a–Holder– may–receive–on–Conversion–is–limited–to–the– Maximum–Conversion–Number–and–this– number–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–may–have–a– value–of–less–than–the–Face–Value

  • –– the–number–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–is– calculated–by–reference–to–the–price–of–AMP– Ordinary–Shares–in–the–five–Business–Days– on–which–trading–in–AMP–Ordinary–Shares– took–place–immediately–preceding–(but–not– including)–the–Conversion–Date–which–may– differ–from–the–AMP–Ordinary–Share–price–on– or–after–that–date

  • –– the–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–may–not–be–listed.– The–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–may–not–be–able– to–be–sold–at–prices–representing–their–value– based–on–the–VWAP.–In–particular,–VWAP– prices–will–be–based–wholly–or–partly–on– trading–days–which–occurred–before–the– Non-Viability–Trigger–Event

  • –– as–noted–in–section–2.4,–the–Maximum– Conversion–Number–may–be–adjusted– to–reflect–a–consolidation,–division–or– reclassification,–or–pro–rata–bonus–issues,–

5.1.7 AMP may redeem AMP Subordinated Notes 2 early in certain circumstances

AMP–may–(subject–to–APRA’s–prior–written– approval,–which–is–in–its–discretion–and–may–not– be–given)–elect–to–redeem:–

AMP–Notes–2–will–be–redeemed–at–their–Face– Value–of–$100–per–AMP–Note–2–(plus–any–accrued– and–unpaid–Interest).–There–is–a–risk–that–the– amount–received–on–redemption–may–be–less–than– the–then–current–market–value–of–AMP–Notes–2.– The–timing–of–any–redemption–may–not–accord– with–a–Holder’s–individual–financial–circumstances– or–tax–position.–

5.1.8 No rights for Holders to request or require redemption or acceleration of repayment

Holders–have–no–right–to–request–or–require– redemption–or–to–accelerate–repayment–of–their– AMP–Notes–2–prior–to–the–Maturity–Date–(except– where–an–order–has–been–made–or–an–effective– resolution–passed–for–the–winding-up–of–AMP).– Therefore,–prior–to–the–Maturity–Date,–unless–AMP– elects–to–redeem–AMP–Notes–2–(subject–to–APRA’s– prior–written–approval,–which–is–in–its–discretion– and–may–not–be–given),–Holders–can–only–realise– their–investment–in–AMP–Notes–2–by–selling–them– at–the–prevailing–market–price–on–ASX.–There–is– a–risk–that–the–prevailing–market–price–will–be– less–than–the–Face–Value–of–AMP–Notes–2–and/ or–that–the–market–for–AMP–Notes–2–may–not–be– liquid.–AMP–does–not–guarantee–that–you–will– be–able–to–sell–your–AMP–Notes–2–on–ASX–at–an–

5.1.10 AMP may fail to pay Face Value, Interest or other amounts

There–is–a–risk–that–AMP–may–not–pay–when– scheduled–or–default–on–payment–of–some–or– all–of–the–Face–Value,–Interest–or–other–amounts– payable–on–AMP–Notes–2.–If–AMP–does–not–pay–the– amount–owing,–Holders–may–lose–some–or–all–of– the–money–invested–in–AMP–Notes–2.

The–remedies–of–the–Holders–in–the–event–of– non-payment–are–limited.–Failure–to–pay–because– the–Solvency–Condition–is–not–satisfied–is–not–an– Event–of–Default.

If–an–amount–is–not–paid–when–the–Solvency– Condition–is–satisfied,–that–is–an–Event–of–Default– and–the–Trustee–may–institute–proceedings:

The–AMP–group–has–disposed–of–a–number–of– businesses–and–portfolios–to–third–parties.–The– sale–agreements–for–these–disposals–typically– provide–for–warranties–and–indemnification–for– specified–periods–in–relation–to–certain–matters– concerning–the–businesses–and–portfolios– disposed.–While–the–AMP–group–has–no– knowledge–that–it–has–any–liability–under–these– warranty–and–indemnity–arrangements–which–is– not–appropriately–provided–for,–the–possibility–of– liability–may–arise–and–any–such–liability–may–be– material–and–may–have–a–material–adverse–impact– on–the–financial–performance–and–position–and– level–of–capital–of–the–AMP–group.

5.2.6 Operational, legal and compliance risks

Operational risk

‘Operational–risk’–is–the–risk–of–loss–resulting– from–inadequate–or–failed–internal–processes,– people–and–systems–or–from–external–events.– This–includes–legal–and–compliance–risk,–including– adherence–to–internal–policies–and–industry– standards,–but–excludes–reputational–risk.

Operational–exposures–relevant–to–the–industry– in–which–the–AMP–group–operates–relate–to– information–technology,–human–resources,– internal–and–external–fraud,–project–management,– outsourcing,–business–continuity,–product– administration,–unit–pricing,–business–processes,– and–the–introduction–of–new–products.–The– AMP–group–operational–risk–profile–reflects– these–exposures,–as–well–as–including–exposures– related–to–the–quality–of–financial–planning– advice–and–the–management–of–change.–Further–

The–financial–statements–of–the–AMP–group– contain–provisions–for–some–of–these–risks–and– generally–disclose–certain–contingent–liabilities– in–accordance–with–applicable–accounting– standards.–Given–the–inherent–uncertainty–in– predicting–the–outcome–of–events–that–may–occur– in–the–future,–there–can–be–no–assurance–that–such– provisions–or–disclosure–adequately–address–all– outcomes–that–may–arise–in–the–future.

Failure of risk management strategies

AMP–has–implemented–risk–management– strategies–and–internal–controls–involving– processes–and–procedures–intended–to–identify,– monitor–and–mitigate–the–risks–to–which–it– is–subject,–including–liquidity–risk,–credit–risk,– market–risk,–compliance–risk,–conduct–risk–and– operational–risk,–all–of–which–are–important– to–the–AMP–group’s–reputation.–However,– there–are–inherent–limitations–with–any–risk– management–framework–as–there–may–exist,–or– emerge–in–the–future,–risks–that–the–AMP–group– has–not–anticipated–or–identified.–If–any–of–the– AMP–group’s–risk–management–processes–and– procedures–prove–ineffective–or–inadequate,–or– are–otherwise–not–appropriately–implemented,– this–could–have–a–material–adverse–impact–on– the–financial–performance–and–position–of–the– AMP–group.

Failure to comply with regulatory and legislative requirements

The–financial–services–industry–both–globally– and–in–Australia–and–New–Zealand–continues– to–undergo–a–significant–level–of–regulatory– change,–to–which–the–AMP–group–continues–to– respond–and–adjust–its–business–model.–Any– failure–to–comply–with–regulatory–and–legislative– requirements–due–to–the–volume–and–complexity– of–regulatory–change,–may–result–in–breaches,– fines,–regulatory–action–or–reputational–impacts,– which–could–in–turn,–have–a–material–impact– on–the–financial–performance,–position–and– reputation–of–the–AMP–group.

The–AMP–group–has–the–largest–financial–advice– network–in–Australia–and–AMP–Capital–offers–its– financial–products–and–services–to–retail–investors– in–Australia–and–New–Zealand,–and–to–institutional–

investors–throughout–the–world.–AMP–group–has– training,–supervision–and–compliance–processes– in–place–across–all–of–its–businesses,–including–its– advice–network–and–AMP–Capital.–Despite–the– resources–allocated–to–compliance–within–AMP,– there–is–a–risk–that–advisers–or–AMP–group–entities– may–not–comply–with–the–law–when–providing– products–or–services–to–clients–or–investors.– Those–clients–and–investors–may–sue–AMP–for– losses–suffered–by–them–as–a–consequence–of– any–such–non-compliance–with–law.–The–risk–of– non-compliance–is–heightened–when–new–law–or– regulations–are–introduced,–such–as–the–recent– FOFA–regulatory–changes.–If–compensation– of–clients–or–investors–was–required–in–these– circumstances,–there–may–be–a–material–impact– on–the–overall–financial–performance–and–position– of–the–AMP–group–if–such–payments–were–not– covered–by–the–professional–indemnity–insurance– which–the–AMP–group–has–in–place.

Failure to deliver change effectively

The–AMP–group–is–currently–undergoing–a–material– level–of–business,–operational,–and–regulatory– change,–including–embarking–upon–a–three–year– efficiency–program–to–drive–earnings–growth– and–improved–returns.–While–the–AMP–group–has– progressed–its–detailed–planning,–there–remains– a–risk–that–unforeseen–issues–may–arise,–resulting– in–lower–efficiency–and/or–growth–returns.–In– addition,–failure–to–deliver–change–effectively–may– result–in–the–failure–of–the–AMP–group–to–achieve– its–future–growth–and–strategic–objectives,–which– in–turn–could–have–a–material–impact–on–the– future–financial–performance–and–position–of–the– AMP–group.

Legal proceedings and other contingent liabilities

In–the–course–of–its–operations,–the–AMP–group–is– involved–in–disputes–and–litigation.–Any–material– or–costly–dispute–or–litigation–involving–the– AMP–group–(including–the–litigation–described– below)–could–have–a–material–adverse–impact–on– the–financial–performance–and–position–of–the– AMP–group.

Outsourcing risk

‘Outsourcing’–involves–an–organisation–entering– into–an–agreement–with–another–party–(including– a–related–company)–to–perform,–on–a–continuing– basis,–a–business–activity–that–currently–is,–or– could–be,–undertaken–within–that–organisation.– ‘Offshoring’–is–the–practice–of–outsourcing– business–activities–to–a–service–provider–located–in– another–country–or–where–material–elements–of– the–service–are–provided–from–another–country.

While–AMP–requires–that–all–material–outsource– arrangements–are–structured,–managed–and– controlled–in–such–a–manner–that–its–market– reputation,–service–to–customers,–financial– performance–and–obligations–to–regulators–are– enhanced–or–preserved,–there–remains–a–risk–that– these–arrangements–might–fail.

Technology risk

Technology–plays–an–increasingly–important–role– in–the–delivery–of–financial–services–to–customers– in–a–cost–effective–manner.–The–AMP–group’s– ability–to–compete–effectively–in–the–future–will,– in–part,–be–driven–by–our–ability–to–maintain–an– appropriate–technology–platform–(including– execution–of–new–developments),–for–the– efficient–delivery–of–its–products–and–services.– Consequently,–there–is–a–risk–that–these,–or–the– services–the–AMP–group–uses–or–is–dependent– upon,–might–fail.

Most–of–the–AMP–group’s–daily–operations–are– computer-based–and–information–technology– systems–are–essential–to–maintaining–effective– communications–with–customers.–The–exposure– to–systems–risks–includes–the–complete–or–partial– failure–of–information–technology–systems–or– data–centre–infrastructure,–the–inadequacy–of–

internal–and–third-party–information–technology– systems–due–to,–among–other–things,–failure–to– keep–pace–with–industry–developments–and–the– capacity–of–the–existing–systems–to–effectively– accommodate–growth–and–integrate–existing–and– future–acquisitions–and–alliances.

To–manage–these–risks,–the–AMP–group–has– disaster–recovery–and–information–technology– governance–in–place.–However,–any–failure– of–these–systems–could–result–in–business– interruption,–loss–of–customers,–financial– compensation,–damage–to–reputation–and/or– a–weakening–of–the–AMP–group’s–competitive– position,–which–could–adversely–impact–its– business–and–have–a–material–adverse–effect– on–the–AMP–group’s–financial–condition–and– operations.–In–addition,–the–AMP–group–must– update–and–implement–new–information– technology–systems,–in–part–to–assist–it–to– satisfy–regulatory–demands,–ensure–information– security,–enhance–computer-based–services– for–its–customers–and–integrate–the–various– segments–of–its–business.–A–failure–to–implement– these–projects–effectively–or–execute–them– efficiently,–could–lead–to–increased–project–costs,– delays–in–the–ability–to–comply–with–regulatory– requirements,–failure–of–information–security– controls–or–a–decrease–in–the–AMP–group’s–ability– to–service–its–customers.

Cyber-security

The–AMP–group’s–systems–are–at–increasing–risk– from–cyber-attacks.–Cyber–attackers–include– organised–crime–syndicates,–hacker–activists– and–state-based–cyber–espionage,–all–of–which– use–techniques–including–hacking,–malicious– software,–phishing–and–other–forms–of–social– engineering.–Failure–to–effectively–mitigate–the– risk–from–cyber-attacks–could–have–a–material– adverse–impact–on–the–AMP–group’s–financial– performance–and–position.

Loss of personnel

The–AMP–group–has–a–large–base–of–qualified–and– experienced–personnel.–The–AMP–group’s–future– success–will–depend–on–its–continued–ability–to– attract–and–retain–highly–skilled–and–qualified– personnel.–There–can–be–no–assurance–that–key– personnel–will–continue–to–be–employed–by,–or– contracted–to,–the–AMP–group–or–that–the–AMP– group–will–be–able–to–attract–and–retain–qualified– personnel–in–the–future.–Failure–to–retain–or–

Australian–Holders–will–be–required–to–include–any– Interest–in–respect–of–their–AMP–Notes–2–in–their– Australian–assessable–income.

Whether–the–Interest–should–be–recognised–as– assessable–income–on–a–realisation–or–accruals– basis–will–depend–on–the–individual–circumstances– of–the–Australian–Holder–(see–also–the–‘ taxation of financial arrangements ’–summary–below).

Non-Australian–Holders–should–not–be–subject– to–Australian–income–tax–in–respect–of–Interest– payments–received–on–their–AMP–Notes–2.– This–is–on–the–basis–that–AMP–intends–to–satisfy– the–requirements–of–section–128F–of–the– Australian–Tax–Act–in–respect–of–Interest–paid– on–AMP–Notes–2–(see–summary–below).–

8.2.2 Gain on disposal or redemption of AMP Subordinated Notes 2

Australian–Holders–will–be–required–to–include–any– gain–or–loss–on–disposal–or–redemption–of–AMP– Notes–2–in–their–assessable–income.–Depending– on–the–circumstances–of–the–Australian–Holder,– either–the–rules–relating–to–‘traditional–securities’– (in–sections–26BB–and–70B–of–the–Australian–Tax– Act)–or–‘taxation–of–financial–arrangements’–(see– summary–below)–should–apply.

For–the–purpose–of–calculating–an–Australian– Holder’s–gain–or–loss–on–disposal–or–redemption–of– AMP–Notes–2:

8.2.3 No gain on Conversion of AMP Subordinated Notes 2

Holders–(whether–an–Australian–Holder–or–a– Non-Australian–Holder)–should–not–make–any– taxable–gain–or–loss–if–AMP–Notes–2–are–Converted– into–AMP–Ordinary–Shares.–This–is–because– any–gain–or–loss–on–the–Conversion–should–be– disregarded–under–the–Australian–Tax–Act.

AMP–Ordinary–Shares–acquired–as–a–consequence– of–the–Conversion–should–generally–be–treated– as–having–a–cost–base–and–reduced–cost–base–for– Australian–capital–gains–tax–( CGT )–purposes–equal– to–the–cost–base–of–AMP–Notes–2–at–the–time–of– Conversion.–For–Australian–CGT–purposes,–the– acquisition–date–of–the–AMP–Ordinary–Shares– should–generally–be–the–time–of–Conversion.–This– will–be–relevant–in–the–event–that–the–Holder– subsequently–disposes–of–the–AMP–Ordinary– Shares.–In–the–case–of–a–Holder–who–is–not–a– resident–of–Australia–for–tax–purposes,–any–capital– gain–or–loss–made–by–that–Holder–from–any– subsequent–disposal–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares–

is–likely–to–be–disregarded–for–Australian–CGT– purposes.–This–is–because–the–AMP–Ordinary– Shares–are–not–likely–to–be–‘taxable–Australian– property’–(as–defined–under–the–Australian–Tax– Act)–at–the–time–of–disposal.–

Australian–Holders–should–not–be–subject–to– Australian–IWT–in–respect–of–Interest–payments– on–AMP–Notes–2.

Non-Australian–Holders–may–be–subject–to– Australian–IWT–at–a–rate–of–10–per–cent–of–the– gross–amount–of–Interest–paid–by–AMP–to–the– Non-Australian–Holder–unless–an–exemption– is–available.

8.3.2 Section 128F exemption from IWT

An–exemption–from–IWT–is–available–in–respect–of– Interest–paid–on–AMP–Notes–2–if–the–requirements– of–section–128F–of–the–Australian–Tax–Act– are–satisfied.–

AMP–intends–to–issue–AMP–Notes–2–in–a–manner– which–will–satisfy–the–requirements–of–section– 128F–of–the–Australian–Tax–Act.

In–broad–terms,–the–requirements–are–as–follows:

  • 1.– AMP–is–a–resident–of–Australia–and–a–company– (as–defined–in–section–128F(9)–of–the– Australian–Tax–Act)–when–it–issues–AMP–Notes– 2–and–when–interest–is–paid,–and

An–‘associate’–of–AMP–for–the–purposes–of–section– 128F–of–the–Australian–Tax–Act–includes,–when– AMP–is–not–a–trustee:–

  • –– a–person–or–entity–who–is–an–‘associate’–of– another–person–or–company–which–is–an– ‘associate’–of–AMP–under–any–of–the–foregoing.

However,–for–the–purposes–of–sections–128F(5)– and–(6)–of–the–Australian–Tax–Act–(see–paragraphs– (iii)–and–(iv)–above)–an–‘associate’–of–AMP–does–not– include–a–Non-Australian–Holder–that–is–acting–in– the–capacity–of:

8.3.3 Exemptions under certain double tax conventions

Exemptions–from–IWT–are–also–available–for– certain–non-residents–of–Australia–under–double– tax–conventions.

The–Australian–government–has–signed–new–or– amended–double–tax–conventions–( New Treaties )– with–a–number–of–countries–(each–a– Specified Country ).–

Broadly,–the–New–Treaties–effectively–prevent–IWT– applying–to–interest–derived–by:

Australian–Eligible–AMP–Notes–holders–who– participate–in–the–Reinvestment–Offer–will–be– required–to–include–any–gain–or–loss–on–the– disposal–of–their–AMP–Notes–in–their–assessable– income.–The–Accrued–Interest–Amount–received– in–respect–of–their–AMP–Notes–should–be–taken– into–account–in–determining–the–amount–of–the– gain–or–loss.–Depending–on–the–circumstances–of– the–Australian–Eligible–AMP–Notes–holders,–either– the–rules–relating–to–‘traditional–securities’–or– ‘taxation–of–financial–arrangements’–should–apply.–

Non-Australian–Eligible–AMP–Notes–holders– should–not–be–subject–to–Australian–income– tax–on–gains–made–on–the–disposal–of–their– AMP–Notes,–provided:

Together, the two subregisters will make up AMP’s principal register of AMP Notes 2. AMP will not be issuing certificates to applicants in respect of AMP Notes 2 allotted.

If you are a CHESS participant (or are sponsored by a CHESS participant) and you wish to hold AMP Notes 2 allotted to you under this application on the CHESS subregister, enter your CHESS HIN.

Otherwise, leave the section blank and on allotment you will be sponsored by AMP and a Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) will be allocated to you.

Please note that if you supply a CHESS HIN but the name and address details on your Application Form do not correspond exactly with the registration details held at CHESS, your application will be deemed to be made without the CHESS HIN, and any AMP Notes 2 issued will be held on the issuer sponsored subregister.
