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.

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.

3.8 Strategy
The–AMP–group–is–capitalising–on–its–strengthened– competitive–position–following–the–merger–with– the–Australian–and–New–Zealand–business–of– AMP–AAPH–(formerly–known–as–AXA–Asia–Pacific– Holdings)–to–help–it–better–deliver–on–its–promise:– helping–people–own–tomorrow.–
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–

3.9 Regulation
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.

4.5 Capital management
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
-

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)
-

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,–
of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares.–However,–no– adjustment–will–be–made–to–it–on–account– of–other–transactions–which–may–affect–the– price–of–AMP–Ordinary–Shares,–including–for– example–rights–issues,–returns–of–capital,– buy-backs–or–special–dividends.–The–Terms– do–not–limit–the–transactions–that–AMP–may– undertake–with–respect–to–its–share–capital– and–any–such–action–may–increase–the–risk– that–Holders–receive–only–the–Maximum– Conversion–Number–and–so–may–adversely– affect–the–position–of–Holders.
Inability Event

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–

5.3.2 Exposure to AXA SA counterparty risk
The–AMP–group’s–acquisition–of–AMP–AAPH’s– Australian–and–New–Zealand–businesses–exposes– the–AMP–group–to–AXA–SA–Group–counterparty– risk.–In–particular,–under–the–transaction– documents–relating–to–the–merger,–the–AMP– group–is–relying–on–the–AXA–SA–Group–to–perform– various–obligations–including,–but–not–limited–to,– providing–various–warranties–and–indemnities–to– AMP.–Failure–by–the–AXA–SA–Group–to–perform–its– obligations–may–subsequently–have–a–material– adverse–impact–on–the–financial–performance–and– position–of–the–AMP–group.

It–is–AMPGFS’s–current–intention–that–the–A$–AMP– Notes–not–sold–to–AMP–under–the–Reinvestment– Offer–and–the–NZ$–AMP–Notes,–will,–subject–to– APRA’s–approval–(which–is–in–its–discretion–and– may–not–be–given),–be–redeemed–for–cash–on–15– May–2014–(being–the–Step-Up–Date),–and–AMP– Notes–holders–will–receive–the–applicable–face– value–plus–any–accrued–and–unpaid–interest–to– that–date–per–AMP–Note–held.

-
–– AMP–Notes–2–are–issued–by–AMP–(which–is–the– parent–entity–of–the–AMP–group),–not–AMPGFS– (which–is–the–primary–finance–subsidiary–of– the–AMP–group)

As–a–consequence–of–the–change–in–market– conditions–since–2009–when–the–AMP–Notes– were–issued,–the–Margin–for–AMP–Notes–2–of– 2.65–per–cent–is–less–than–the–margins–on–the– AMP–Notes

This–summary–also–addresses–the–Australian–tax– consequences–for–Eligible–AMP–Notes–holders– who–participate–in–the–Reinvestment–Offer.–
This–summary–is–not–exhaustive–and,–in–particular,– does–not–deal–with–the–position–of–certain–classes– of–Holders–(including,–without–limitation,–dealers– in–securities,–custodians–or–other–third–parties– who–hold–AMP–Notes–2–on–behalf–of–any–person)– or–persons–holding–interests–in–AMP–Notes–2– through–such–persons.–

8.2.1 Interest payments
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.

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.–

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.
