For release: 16 August 2016
ANZ CPS2 (ANZPA) – Amendments to terms
ANZ today announced that it has amended the terms of the convertible preference shares issued by ANZ in December 2009 ( CPS2 ). The amendments have been made to facilitate the Reinvestment Offer for ANZ Capital Notes 4. Specifically, the changes permit the payment of a Pro Rata Dividend to Eligible CPS2 Holders who reinvest their CPS2 in ANZ Capital Notes 4 under the Reinvestment Offer. Payment of a Pro Rata Dividend will be on the day that the ANZ Capital Notes 4 are issued subject to the payment tests in the CPS2 terms (including that the Board resolves to pay the relevant dividend).
Further details about the offer of ANZ Capital Notes 4, the Reinvestment Offer and the Pro Rata Dividend are set out in a prospectus that was lodged with ASX and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission today ( Prospectus ).
The amendments to the CPS2 terms are highlighted in the attachment and take effect from today. The amendments have been approved by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority.
Defined terms referred to in this announcement have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus.

3 Dividends
3.1 Dividends
Subject to these CPS2 Terms, each CPS2 entitles the CPS2 Holder on a Record Date to receive on the relevant Dividend Payment Date a dividend ( Dividend ) calculated according to the following formula:
Issue Price × Dividend Rate × N Dividend = 365
where:
Dividend Rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) is calculated according to the following formula:
Dividend Rate = (Bank Bill Rate + Margin) × (1 - Tax Rate)
where:
Bank Bill Rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) means, for a Dividend Period, the average mid-rate for bills of a term of 90 days which average mid-rate is displayed on Reuters page BBSW (or any page which replaces that page) on the first Business Day of the Dividend Period or if there is a manifest error in the calculation of that average mid-rate or that average mid-rate is not displayed by 10.30am (Melbourne time) on that date, the rate specified in good faith by ANZ at or around that time on that date having regard, to the extent possible, to:
-
(a) the rates otherwise bid and offered for bills of a term of 90 days or for funds of that tenor displayed on Reuters page BBSW (or any page which replaces that page) at that time on that date; or
-
(b) if bid and offer rates for bills of a term of 90 days are not otherwise available, the rates otherwise bid and offered for funds of that tenor at or around that time on that date;

3.2 Franking adjustments
If any Dividend is not franked to 100% under Part 3-6 of the Tax Act (or any provisions that revise or replace that Part), the Dividend will be calculated according to the following formula:
D Dividend = 1 - [Tax Rate × ~~(~~ 1 - F ~~)~~ ]
where:
D means the Dividend calculated under clause 3.1;
Tax Rate has the meaning given in clause 3.1; and
F means the applicable Franking Rate.
3.3

Subject to this clause 3.3, the Directors, at their absolute discretion but with the prior written approval of APRA, may determine an Optional Dividend to be payable on any date.
3.4 Dividends are non-cumulative
Dividends are non-cumulative. If all or any part of a Dividend is not paid because of clause 3.3 or because of any applicable law, ANZ has no liability to pay the unpaid amount of the Dividend and, notwithstanding the Directors’ discretion to pay an Optional Dividend under clause 3.3, CPS2 Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of such non-payment and such non-payment does not constitute an event of default. No interest accrues on any unpaid Dividends or Optional Dividends and the CPS2 Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of interest on any unpaid Dividends or Optional Dividends.

-
(g) a capital raising by way of a rights or entitlement issue made to holders of one or more capital instruments of ANZ.

then this clause 6.5 will be reapplied in respect of each subsequent Dividend Payment Date until an Exchange occurs.
7 Conversion mechanics
7.1 Conversion
If ANZ elects to Convert CPS2 or must Convert CPS2 in accordance with these CPS2 Terms, then, subject to clause 13, the following provisions apply:
-
(a) each CPS2 that is being Converted will Convert into one Ordinary Share on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be);
-
(b) each CPS2 Holder will be allotted, for no consideration, an additional number of Ordinary Shares for each CPS2 that is being Converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be) equal to one less than the Conversion Number, where the Conversion Number (but subject to the Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion Number) is a number calculated according to the following formula:
Issue Price Conversion Number = 99% × VWAP
Mallesons Stephen Jaques CPS2 Terms 28197568_2 November 2009
12
where:
VWAP (expressed in dollars and cents) means the VWAP during the VWAP Period;
-
(c) if the total number of additional Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a CPS2 Holder in respect of their aggregate holding of CPS2 upon Conversion includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share, that fraction of an Ordinary Share will be disregarded;
-
(d) a CPS2, upon Conversion, confers all of the rights attaching to one Ordinary Share but these rights do not take effect until 5.00pm (Melbourne time) on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be). At that time:
-
(i) all other rights conferred or restrictions imposed on that CPS2 under these CPS2 Terms will no longer have effect (except for rights relating to a Dividend which has been determined to be payable but has not been paid on or before the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be) which will continue); and
-
(ii) the Ordinary Share resulting from a Conversion will rank equally with all other Ordinary Shares.
Conversion does not constitute a redemption, buy-back, cancellation or termination of CPS2 or an issue, allotment or creation of a new Ordinary Share (other than the additional Ordinary Shares allotted under clause 7.1(b)).
7.2 Adjustments to VWAP
For the purposes of calculating VWAP in these CPS2 Terms:
-
(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares have been quoted on ASX as cum dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement and CPS2 will Convert into Ordinary Shares after the date those Ordinary Shares no longer carry that dividend or any other distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted cum dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount ( Cum Value ) equal to:
-

7.3 Adjustments to VWAP for capital reconstruction
Where the Ordinary Shares are reconstructed, consolidated, divided or reclassified (other than by way of a bonus issue, rights issue or other essentially pro rata issue) into a lesser or greater number of securities during the relevant VWAP Period, the VWAP shall be adjusted by ANZ as it considers appropriate to ensure that the CPS2 Holders are in an economic position in relation to their CPS2 that is as similar as reasonably practicable to the economic position prior to the occurrence of the event that gave rise to the need for the adjustment. Any adjustment made by ANZ will be effective and binding on CPS2 Holders under these CPS2 Terms and these CPS2 Terms will be construed accordingly. Any such adjustment must be promptly notified to all CPS2 Holders.
7.4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP
For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, adjustments to VWAP will be made in accordance with clause 7.2 and clause 7.3 during the VWAP Period for the Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date, adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

7.8 Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP for capital reconstruction
If at any time the Ordinary Shares are reconstructed, consolidated, divided or reclassified into a lesser or greater number of securities, the Directors may if they consider it appropriate reconstruct the Issue Date VWAP in the same way as the exercise price of options over Ordinary Shares would be reconstructed in the same context, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules (as they apply to ANZ). Each CPS2 Holder acknowledges that ANZ may reconstruct, consolidate, divide or reclassify into a lesser or greater number of securities the Ordinary Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action constituting a variation of rights of CPS2 Holders or otherwise requiring any consent or concurrence.
7.9 Directors’ sole discretion regarding adjustments to Issue Date VWAP
Despite the provisions of clauses 7.5 to 7.8, where:

16
- (b) any other event occurs in relation to ANZ that may have a dilutive or concentrative effect on the value of the Ordinary Shares, and, in the reasonable opinion of the Directors, such occurrence would have a dilutive or concentrative effect on the value of Ordinary Shares,

-
(i) make such alterations (if any) to the Issue Date VWAP as they reasonably consider appropriate or necessary to compensate for that effect; or
-
(ii) extend an entitlement to the CPS2 Holders to participate in such event based on the number of Ordinary Shares to which those CPS2 Holders would have been entitled if their CPS2 had been Converted on a date nominated by the Directors to compensate for that effect.
7.10 Announcement of adjustment to Issue Date VWAP
ANZ will notify CPS2 Holders (an Adjustment Notice ) of any adjustment to the Issue Date VWAP under this clause 7 within 10 Business Days of ANZ determining the adjustment and the adjustment set out in the announcement will be final and binding.

7.13 Listing Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion
ANZ shall use all reasonable endeavours to list the Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the CPS2 on ASX or the principal securities exchange on which its Ordinary Shares are then listed.
8 Redemption mechanics
8.1 Redemption mechanics to apply to Redemption
If, subject to APRA’s prior written approval, ANZ elects to Redeem CPS2 or must Redeem CPS2 in accordance with these CPS2 Terms, the provisions of this clause 8 apply to that Redemption.
8.2 Redemption
CPS2 will be Redeemed by payment on the Redemption Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be) of the Issue
Mallesons Stephen Jaques CPS2 Terms 28197568_2 November 2009
17
Price plus any amount payable under clause 8.3(a)(iii) (together, the Redemption Price ) by way of redemption, buy-back, reduction of capital or any combination thereof to the CPS2 Holder.
8.3 Effect of Redemption on CPS2 Holders
On the Redemption Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be) the only right CPS2 Holders will have in respect of CPS2 will be to obtain the Redemption Price payable in accordance with these CPS2 Terms and upon payment of the Redemption Price, all other rights conferred, or restrictions imposed, by CPS2 will no longer have effect.
For the purposes of this clause 8:
-
(a) where the Redemption involves a buy-back of CPS2:
-
(i) the Redemption Notice, the Exchange Notice or the Change of Control Exchange Notice (as the case may be) constitutes a buyback offer for the Redemption Price payable on the relevant Redemption Date, Exchange Date or Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be);
-
(ii) the CPS2 Holder must accept the buy-back offer for their CPS2 and will be deemed to have accepted that buy-back offer for CPS2 held by that CPS2 Holder to which the Redemption Notice, the Exchange Notice or the Change of Control Exchange Notice (as the case may be) relates on the date the Redemption Notice, the Exchange Notice or the Change of Control Exchange Notice (as the case may be) is given and will be deemed to have sold those CPS2 to ANZ free of all Encumbrances on the Redemption Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be);
-
(iii) no Dividend is payable on CPS2 on the Redemption Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be), but the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, determine that the consideration payable for each CPS2 that is bought back will include an amount (in addition to the Issue Price) equal to a Dividend calculated in accordance with clause 3 for the Dividend Period ending on (but not including) the Redemption Date, the Exchange Date or the Change of Control Exchange Date (as the case may be);
-
(iv) the buy-back agreement will be taken to include ANZ’s undertaking in clause 3.8 (as qualified by clause 3.9); and
-
(v) for the purposes of calculating the Redemption Price, any suspension of the right to receive a Dividend arising from the buy-back agreement under applicable law shall be disregarded; and
-
(b) if the Redemption involves either or both a reduction of capital with respect to CPS2 and a cancellation of CPS2 and under applicable law CPS2 Holders are entitled to vote on a resolution to approve that reduction of capital or that cancellation, each CPS2 Holder agrees to vote in favour of that or those resolutions.
Mallesons Stephen Jaques CPS2 Terms 28197568_2 November 2009

9 Resale mechanics
9.1 Resale mechanics to apply to Resale
If ANZ elects to Resell CPS2 or must Resell CPS2 in accordance with these CPS2 Terms, the provisions of this clause 9 apply to that Resale.
9.2 Appointment of Nominated Purchaser
ANZ must appoint one or more Nominated Purchasers for the Resale on such terms as may be agreed between ANZ and the Nominated Purchaser. If ANZ appoints more than one Nominated Purchaser in respect of a Resale, all or any of the CPS2 held by a CPS2 Holder which are being Resold may be purchased by any one or any combination of the Nominated Purchasers, as determined by ANZ.
The obligation of a Nominated Purchaser to pay the aggregate purchase price on the Relevant Date or the Exchange Date (as the case may be) may be subject to conditions.
ANZ will reasonably endeavour, in light of the circumstances then existing, to minimise the conditionality of a Nominated Purchaser’s obligation to pay the aggregate purchase price but gives no assurance as to the details of any such conditions.
9.3 Identity of Nominated Purchaser
ANZ may not appoint a person as a Nominated Purchaser unless that person:
-
(a) has undertaken on such terms and subject to such conditions as ANZ reasonably determines for the benefit of each CPS2 Holder to acquire each CPS2 from the CPS2 Holder for the Issue Price on the Relevant Date or the Exchange Date (as the case may be);
-
(b) has a long term counterparty credit rating from one of Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch of not less than the rating assigned to CPS2 at that time by that rating agency; and
-
(c) is not a Controlled Entity of ANZ (unless otherwise approved in writing by APRA).
9.4 Irrevocable offer to sell CPS2
Each CPS2 Holder is taken irrevocably to offer to sell CPS2 the subject of that Resale to the Nominated Purchaser on the Relevant Date or the Exchange Date (as the case may be) for a cash amount equal to the Issue Price.
9.5
Effect of Resale
On the Relevant Date or the Exchange Date (as the case may be), subject to payment by the Nominated Purchaser of the Issue Price to the CPS2 Holders, all right, title and interest in such CPS2 (excluding the right to any Dividend payable on that date) will be transferred to the Nominated Purchaser on the Relevant Date or the Exchange Date (as the case may be).
9.6 CPS2 Terms after Resale
If CPS2 are Resold in accordance with these CPS2 Terms, unless otherwise agreed between ANZ and the Nominated Purchaser with the prior written approval of APRA, these CPS2 Terms will apply in all respects to the CPS2 held
Mallesons Stephen Jaques CPS2 Terms 28197568_2 November 2009
19
by the Nominated Purchaser on and from the Resale taking effect in accordance with these CPS2 Terms (including that the CPS2 will Convert in the hands of the Nominated Purchaser on the Mandatory Conversion Date if the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are satisfied in respect of that date or on any other date on which CPS2 are to be Converted in accordance with these CPS2 Terms).
Notwithstanding any other provision of these CPS2 Terms, after the CPS2 have been Resold, any provision of these CPS2 Terms as it relates to the CPS2 held by the Nominated Purchaser (including without limitation any term relating to Conversion) may be amended by agreement between the Nominated Purchaser and ANZ without the consent of any other CPS2 Holder but with the prior written approval of APRA. For the purposes of any such amendment, CPS2 held by:
-
(a) a Nominated Purchaser and CPS2 held by other CPS2 Holders; and
-
(b) CPS2 held by different Nominated Purchasers,
shall be treated as though they were separate classes of shares, so that without limitation:
-
(i) where there is more than one Nominated Purchaser; or
-
(ii) where CPS2 are held by a person other than a Nominated Purchaser,
then:
-
(A) amendments may be made to the CPS2 held by a Nominated Purchaser; and
-
(B) the CPS2 held by a Nominated Purchaser can be Redeemed or Converted,
in each case without the consent of or consideration for the interests of any CPS2 Holders other than the Nominated Purchaser the terms of whose CPS2 are being amended, Redeemed or Converted and without any corresponding amendment, Redemption or Conversion (as the case may be) to the CPS2 held by other CPS2 Holders.
9.7 Effect of failure by the Nominated Purchaser to pay
If a Nominated Purchaser does not pay the Issue Price to the CPS2 Holders on the Relevant Date or the Exchange Date (as the case may be) (a Defaulting Nominated Purchaser ) (whether as a result of a condition to purchase not being satisfied or otherwise):
-
(a) the Resale Notice or the Exchange Notice (as the case may be) as it relates to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser will be void;
-
(b) CPS2 will not be transferred to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser;
-
(c) in the case of a Resale Notice, CPS2 referable to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser will not Convert into Ordinary Shares on that Relevant Date and the Mandatory Conversion Date:
-
(i) will be deemed not to have occurred on that Relevant Date; and
Mallesons Stephen Jaques CPS2 Terms 28197568_2 November 2009
20
-
(ii) will occur on the next Relevant Date on which it is otherwise determined to occur in accordance with clause 4.2;
-
(d) the CPS2 Holder will continue to hold those CPS2 until otherwise Redeemed, Converted or Resold in accordance with these CPS2 Terms; and
-
(e) ANZ may, subject to APRA’s prior written approval and without prejudice to any other rights of ANZ under these terms to elect an Exchange, elect to Exchange all (but not some) CPS2 referable to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser on a date no later than 45 Business Days after the Relevant Date or the Exchange Date (as the case may be) (the Deferred Exchange Date ) by giving another Exchange Notice in accordance with clause 5.1 at least 25 Business Days prior to the Deferred Exchange Date. In these circumstances, the date on which the Exchange is to occur for the purposes of clause 5.2(b) will be the Deferred Exchange Date.
