(ISIN: US05254HAA23, USQ08328AA64)

(the "Securities")

by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522) acting through its London Branch

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the holders of the Securities as follows:

16 December 2022

  • 1 Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, acting through its London Branch, (the " Issuer ") refers to the terms and conditions applicable to the Securities (“ Terms ”) as set out in the fiscal and paying agency agreement dated 15 June 2016, as amended from time to time, between the Issuer and the Bank of New York Mellon as Fiscal Agent (“ Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement ”). All words and expressions defined in the Terms or Fiscal Agency Agreement have the same meanings in this notice.

  • 2 This notice is given to holders of Securities in accordance with Section 10 of the Terms.

Background

  • 3 As announced on 26 October 2022, the Issuer intends to proceed with the establishment of a nonoperating holding company and to separate the Issuer's banking and certain non-banking businesses into two groups (the " Restructure "). The non-operating holding company is to be established by a scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the “ Scheme ”). The Scheme was approved at a meeting of shareholders of the Issuer on 15 December 2022 (the “ Scheme Meeting ”).

  • 4 The Terms contemplate the establishment of a non-operating holding company (“ NOHC ”) for the ANZ group and allow the Issuer to amend the Terms, without the approval of holders, to substitute the NOHC as issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion, where certain conditions are met. Those conditions were met with the approval of the Scheme at the Scheme Meeting and the necessary regulatory approvals being given.

  • 5 The Issuer has amended the Terms to effect the substitution of ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ACN 659 510 791) (" ANZ NOHC ") as the issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion, as set out in the schedule to this notice (" Amended Terms ") with effect from the date that the Scheme is implemented, as described below.

  • 6 The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has given its approval of the Amended Terms and has confirmed that the Securities will continue to be eligible for inclusion as Additional Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer.

  • 7 The approval of holders is not required for the Restructure or to amend the Terms. A holder does not need to take any action in response to this notice.

Amendments to Securities Documents

  • 8 In summary, where a Security is Converted under the Amended Terms:

  • (a) each Security (or part of a Security) that is being Converted in whole will be automatically transferred from the holder to ANZ NOHC; and

  • (b) each holder (or a nominee (as applicable)) of the Security or portion thereof being Converted will be issued a number of ANZ NOHC ordinary shares calculated in accordance with the Amended Terms. It is expected that ANZ NOHC ordinary shares will be listed on the ASX.

  • 9 The amendments to the Terms do not affect the circumstances in which the Securities are required to be Converted or the other obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Securities.

  • 10 The Amended Terms will take effect when the Scheme is implemented, which is expected to be on or about 3 January 2023. If the Scheme is not implemented the Amended Terms will not take effect.

  • 11 Further information about the Restructure can be found on the Issuer's website: www.anz.com/schememeeting.

  • 12 Any queries in relation to the matters set out in this notice should be directed to:

The prevailing principal amount of this Note shall be payable against the surrender hereof at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent hereinafter referred to or at such other offices or agencies as the Issuer may designate and notify the Holders and at the offices of such other Paying Agents as the Issuer shall have appointed pursuant to the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement.

From and including June 15, 2016 (the “ Issue Date ”) to but excluding June 15, 2026 (the “ First Reset Date ”), interest is scheduled to be paid in arrears on the prevailing principal amount of this Note at an initial rate equal to 6.750% per annum (the “ Initial Interest Rate ”).

From and including each Reset Date (as defined below) to but excluding the next succeeding Reset Date, interest is scheduled to be paid on the prevailing principal amount of this Note at a rate per annum (each a “ Subsequent Interest Rate ” and, together with the Initial Interest Rate, the “ Interest Rate ”) equal to the sum of the then prevailing Mid-Market Swap Rate (as defined below) on the relevant Reset Determination Date (as defined below) and 5.168% (being the margin determined at the time of the bookbuilding for the Notes) (rounded to three decimal places, with 0.0005 rounded upwards). The First Reset Date and every fifth anniversary thereafter shall be a “ Reset Date .”

As used herein:

The “ Mid-Market Swap Rate ” is the mid-market U.S. dollar swap rate having a 5-year maturity appearing on Bloomberg page “USISDA05 Index” (or such other page as may replace such page on Bloomberg, or such other page as may be nominated by the person providing or sponsoring the information appearing on such page for purposes of displaying comparable rates) at 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Reset Determination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent. If such swap rate does not appear on such page (or such other page or service), the Mid-Market Swap Rate shall instead be determined by the Calculation Agent on the basis of (i) quotations provided by the principal office of each of four major banks in the U.S. dollar swap rate market (which banks shall be selected by the Calculation Agent in consultation with the Issuer (the “ Reference Banks ”)) of the rates at which swaps in U.S. dollars are offered by it at approximately 11.00 a.m. (New York time) (or thereafter on such date, with the Calculation Agent acting on a best efforts basis) on the Reset Determination Date to participants in the U.S. dollar swap rate market for a five-year period and (ii) the arithmetic mean expressed as a percentage and rounded, if necessary, to the nearest 0.001% (0.0005% being rounded upwards) of such quotations. If the Mid-Market Swap Rate is not able to be determined on the relevant Reset Determination Date in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Mid-Market Swap Rate shall be the mid-market U.S. dollar swap rate having a 5-year maturity that appeared most recently on Bloomberg “USISDA05 Index” (or such other page as may replace such page on Bloomberg, or such other page as may be nominated by the person

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 10 -

providing or sponsoring the information appearing on such page for purposes of displaying comparable rates) that was last available prior to 11.00 a.m. (New York time) on such Reset Determination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent.

The “ Reset Determination Date ” shall be the second Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Reset Date.

The relevant day-count fraction for determining interest payable for any Interest Period shall be determined on the basis of the number of days in the relevant Interest Period, from and including the first day in such period to but excluding the last day in such period, such number of days being calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each, divided by 360.

As used herein, the term “ Business Day ” means any weekday, other than one on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in each of London, United Kingdom, New York, New York, United States and Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Issuer and on the Holders.

Payments of interest on the Notes will be non-cumulative. The payment of any interest on the Notes is subject to:

  • (a) the Issuer’s absolute discretion; and

  • (b) no Payment Condition existing in respect of the Notes as at the relevant Interest Payment Date.

If all or any part of any interest payment is not paid because of subsection (a) or (b) above or because of any applicable law, ANZ will have no liability to pay the unpaid amount of interest, neither Holders nor any other person will have a claim or entitlement in respect of such non-payment and such non-payment will not constitute a breach of the Conditions or give any Holder or any other person a right to apply for a Winding Up, to place ANZ in administration or to seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator or provisional liquidator to ANZ or exercise any remedies in respect of the Notes. Neither Holders nor any other person shall have any rights to receive any additional interest or compensation as a result of such non-payment.

Further, by its acquisition and holding of a Note, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that:

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 11 -

  • (a) the Notes do not confer any claim on ANZ except as set out herein;

  • (b) the Notes do not confer on Holders any right to subscribe for new securities in ANZ or to participate in any bonus issues of securities of ANZ; and

  • (c) Nothing in the terms of the Notes prevents ANZ from issuing securities of any kind or, except as provided in this Section 3, redeeming, buying back, returning capital on or converting any securities, other than the Notes.

As used herein, “ Payment Condition ” means, with respect to any payment of interest on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date:

  • (a) making such interest payment on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date would result in the ANZ Level 1 Group or the ANZ Level 2 Group (or, if applicable, the ANZ Group on a Level 3 basis) not complying with APRA’s then current capital adequacy requirements;

  • (b) making such interest payment on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date would result in ANZ becoming, or being likely to become, insolvent for the purposes of the Corporations Act; or

  • (c) APRA objecting to the interest payment on the Notes on such Interest Payment Date.

For so long as the Notes remain Outstanding, if for any reason a payment of interest on the prevailing principal amount of a Note is not paid in full on an Interest Payment Date (the “ Relevant Interest Payment Date ”), ANZ must not from (and including) the Relevant Interest Payment Date to (and including) the next following Interest Payment Date:

  • (a) resolve to pay or pay any ANZ Ordinary Share Dividend; or

  • (b) undertake any Buy Back or Capital Reduction,

provided that such restrictions shall not apply:

  • (i) if the relevant payment of interest on this Note is made to each Holder within 3 Business Days of the Relevant Interest Payment Date;

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 12 -

  • (ii) if Holders approve the relevant ANZ Ordinary Share Dividend, Buy Back or Capital Reduction pursuant to a Special Resolution;

  • (iii) to a Buy Back or Capital Reduction in connection with any employment contract, employee share scheme, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants of ANZ or any Controlled Entity; or

  • (iv) to the extent that at the time a payment of interest on this Note has not been made on the Relevant Interest Payment Date, ANZ is legally obliged to pay on or after that date an ANZ Ordinary Share Dividend or complete on or after that date a Buy Back or Capital Reduction.

Nothing in the terms of this Note or the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement prohibits ANZ or a Controlled Entity from purchasing ANZ Shares (or an interest therein) in connection with transactions for the account of customers of ANZ or customers of entities that ANZ Controls or, with the prior written approval of APRA, in connection with the distribution or trading of ANZ Shares in the ordinary course of business. This includes (for the avoidance of doubt and without affecting the foregoing) any acquisition resulting from:

  • (a) taking security over ANZ Shares in the ordinary course of business; and

  • (b) acting as trustee for another person where neither ANZ nor any entity it Controls has a beneficial interest in the trust (other than a beneficial interest that arises from a security given for the purposes of a transaction entered into in the ordinary course of business).

  • 4 The Issuer shall maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The Issuer has initially appointed the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent as its agent for such purposes (in such capacities, the “ Registrar ” and the “ Transfer Agent ”) and has agreed to cause to be kept at such office a register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer will provide for the registration of Notes and registration of transfers of Notes. The Issuer reserves the right to vary or terminate the appointment of the Fiscal Agent as the Registrar and the Transfer Agent or of any other additional Registrars or Transfer Agents, to appoint additional or other Registrars or Transfer Agents and to approve any change in the office through which any Registrar or Transfer Agent acts, provided that there will at all times be a security registrar and transfer agent for the Notes in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

The transfer of this Note is registrable on the aforementioned register upon surrender of this Note at the corporate trust office of the Registrar or any Transfer Agent duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of like tenor and form, dated the date of authentication thereof, of an authorized denomination or authorized denominations and of a like aggregate prevailing principal amount.

At the option of the Holder upon request confirmed in writing, Notes may be exchanged for Notes of an authorized denomination or authorized denominations and of a like tenor, form and aggregate prevailing principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the office of any Transfer Agent or at the corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Fiscal Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Any registration of transfer or exchange will be effected upon the Transfer Agent or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, being satisfied with

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 17 -

the documents of title and identity of the person making the request and subject to such reasonable regulations as the Issuer may from time to time agree with the Transfer Agents and the Fiscal Agent.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, other than an exchange in connection with a partial redemption of a Note not involving any registration of a transfer.

Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Fiscal Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Fiscal Agent may treat the person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not payments in respect of the Notes have been made on schedule, and neither the Issuer nor the Fiscal Agent or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

5 The Issuer shall pay to the Fiscal Agent at its principal corporate trust office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York on or prior to any Interest Payment Date on which a payment of interest is to be made and any date set for the redemption of this Note, in such amounts sufficient (with any amounts then held by the Fiscal Agent and available for the purpose) to pay the interest on and/or the principal of the Notes to be paid on such date, as the case may be. The Fiscal Agent shall apply the amounts so paid to it to the payment of such interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement and this Note.

Any monies paid by the Issuer to a Fiscal Agent, Paying Agent or a Registrar for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Notes and remaining unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest is to be paid (whether upon call for redemption or otherwise) shall then be repaid (without interest) to the Issuer, and upon such repayment all liability of such Agent with respect thereto shall cease, without, however, limiting in any way any obligation the Issuer may have to pay the principal of and interest on this Note in accordance with the terms hereof.

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 18 -

  • 6 (a) All payments of interest on this Note will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any taxes, assessments or other governmental charges (“ Relevant Tax ”) imposed or levied by, or on behalf of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority in, or of, Australia and, where the Notes remain issued through a branch outside Australia, the jurisdiction in which the branch is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority in, or of, that jurisdiction (each a “ Relevant Jurisdiction ”) unless the withholding or deduction is required by law. In that event, the Issuer will increase the amount of any interest that is scheduled to be paid by such additional amounts (“ Additional Amounts ”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by the Holder of the Notes, after such withholding or deduction, will equal the amount that the Holder would have received in respect of the Notes without such withholding or deduction.

However, the Issuer will pay no Additional Amounts:

  • (i) to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the Notes having some connection (whether present, past or future) with Australia or a Relevant Jurisdiction, other than mere receipt of such payment or being a Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the Notes;

  • (ii) to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the Notes not complying with any statutory requirements or not having made a declaration of non-residence in, or lack of connection with, Australia or a Relevant Jurisdiction or any similar claim for exemption (including supplying an appropriate tax file number or Australian Business Number, as applicable), if the Issuer or its agent has provided the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the Notes with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of an opportunity to comply with such statutory requirements or make a declaration or claim;

  • (iii) to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the Notes having presented for payment more than 30 days after the date on which the payment in respect of the Notes was first scheduled to be paid;

  • (iv) to the extent that the Relevant Tax is imposed or levied as a result of the Holder, or the beneficial owner, of the Notes being party to or

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 19 -

participating in a scheme to avoid tax, being a scheme which the Issuer was neither a party to nor participated in; or

(v) any combination of the above.

In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of these conditions, any amounts to be paid on the Notes will be paid, and any Ordinary Shares to be issued to a Holder on Conversion of a Note will be issued, to the Holder net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and another jurisdiction facilitating the implementation of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to such an intergovernmental agreement) (a “ FATCA Withholding ”), and no Additional Amounts will be required to be paid and no additional Ordinary Shares will be required to be issued on account of any such deduction or withholding.

(b) No Additional Amounts shall be paid with respect to any payment of, or in respect of, interest on this Note to any such Holder who is a fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment to the extent such payment would, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, be treated as being derived or received for tax purposes by a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such Additional Amounts had it been the Holder of this Note.

(c) Whenever in this Note there is mentioned, in any context, any payment of, or in respect of interest on, this Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in Section 6(a) to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such Section.

(d) At least 10 Business Days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to this Note is scheduled to be paid, if the Issuer is obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent and the Paying Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer (as defined in the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement) (an “ Officer’s Certificate ”) stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable and will set forth such other information necessary to enable the Fiscal Agent and such Paying Agent to pay such

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 20 -

Additional Amounts to the Holders on the payment date; provided, however , that if 10 Business Days prior to each date on which any such payment is scheduled to be paid the amount of such payment has not yet been determined, the Issuer shall notify the Fiscal Agent of such amount promptly after such amount has been determined.

  • 7 (a) If an order is made by a court of competent jurisdiction in Australia (other than an order successfully appealed or permanently stayed within 60 days), or an effective resolution passed, for the Winding Up in Australia, the Notes will become payable at their prevailing principal amount as described below. Accordingly, this Note will not entitle a Holder or any beneficial owner to claim any unpaid scheduled interest on this Note in a Winding Up.

A Holder will have no further or other claim on ANZ in a Winding Up other than the claim for the prevailing principal amount described below.

Holders will rank for payment of the prevailing principal amount of each Note in a Winding Up in Australia:

  • (i) in priority to the holders of ANZ Ordinary Shares;

  • (ii) equally among themselves and with all holders of Equal Ranking Instruments with respect to priority of payment in a Winding Up; and

  • (iii) junior to the claims of all Senior Creditors with respect to priority of payment in a Winding Up in that:

  • (A) all claims of Senior Creditors must be paid in full (including in respect of any entitlement to interest under section 563B of the Corporations Act) before the claims of the Holders are paid; and

  • (B) until the Senior Creditors have been paid in full, the Holders must not claim in the Winding Up in competition with the Senior Creditors so as to diminish any distribution, dividend or payment which, but for that claim, the Senior Creditors would have been entitled to receive,

so that the Holder receives, for each Note it holds, an amount equal to the amount it would have received if, in the Winding Up, it had held an issued and fully paid Preference Share.

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 21 -

Nothing in the terms of the Notes or the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement shall be taken to (a) create a charge or security interest on or over any right of the Holder or (b) require the consent of any Senior Creditor to any amendment of the Note or the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement made in accordance with the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement.

  • (b) By its acquisition and holding of a Note, each Holder irrevocably agrees:

  • (i) that the subordination of the Notes referred to in subsection 7(a) is a debt subordination for the purposes of section 563C of the Corporations Act;

  • (ii) that it does not have, and waives to the maximum extent permitted by law, any entitlement to interest under section 563B of the Corporations Act to the extent that a holder of a Preference Share would not be entitled to such interest;

  • (iii) not to exercise any voting or other rights as a creditor in the Winding Up in any jurisdiction:

    • (A) until after all Senior Creditors have been paid in full; or

    • (B) otherwise in a manner inconsistent with the subordination of the Notes contemplated above;

  • (iv) that it must pay or deliver to the liquidator any amount or asset received on account of its claim in the Winding Up in respect of a Note in excess of its entitlement as set out above; and

  • (v) that the subordination of the Notes referred to in subsection 7(a) will not be affected by any act or omission of ANZ or a Senior Creditor which might otherwise affect it at law or in equity.

(c) If there is a Winding Up and, notwithstanding subsection (b) above, the Fiscal Agent, the Paying Agent or the Holder or beneficial owner of this Note receives any payment or distribution of the assets of ANZ of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of ANZ being subordinated to the payment of this Note, before all the claims of Senior Creditors are paid in full, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to the Fiscal

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 22 -

Agent, the Paying Agent or, as the case may be, the Holder or beneficial owner of this Note, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other person making payment or distribution of assets of ANZ for application to the payment of all claims of the Senior Creditors remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such claims in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the account of the Senior Creditors.

(d) Neither ANZ nor any Holder or any beneficial owner of this Note has any contractual right to set off any sum at any time scheduled to be paid to a Holder, such beneficial owner or ANZ (as applicable) under or in relation to this Note against amounts owing by the Holder or such beneficial owner to ANZ or by ANZ to the Holder or such beneficial owner (as applicable).

(e) On a Winding Up, the Holder of this Note shall only be entitled to prove for any sums payable in respect of this Note as a debt which is subject to and contingent upon prior payment in full of the obligations of ANZ to the Senior Creditors, and the Holder of this Note waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any right to prove in the Winding Up as a creditor of ANZ ranking for payment in any other manner. Holders and beneficial owners of this Note shall not be entitled to place ANZ in administration or to seek the appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, liquidator or provisional liquidator to ANZ.

(f) The provisions of this Section shall not affect or prejudice the payment of any amounts by the Issuer in respect of costs, charges, expenses, liabilities, indemnities or remuneration of the Fiscal Agent or any Paying Agent pursuant to the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement or the rights and remedies of the Fiscal Agent or the Paying Agent in respect thereof.

(g) For the purposes of Section 1 and this Section 7, “ Senior Creditors ” means all present and future creditors of ANZ (including but not limited to depositors), whose claims are (a) entitled to be admitted in the Winding Up and (b) not expressed to rank equally with, or subordinate to, the claims of a Holder.

insolvency of ANZ where its obligations are assumed by a successor to which all, or substantially all, of ANZ’s property, assets and undertaking are transferred or where an arrangement with similar effect not involving a bankruptcy or insolvency is implemented.

(i) For the purposes of Section 1 and this Section 7, “ Equal Ranking Instruments ” means, in respect of a return of capital in a Winding Up:

  • (i) CPS2;

  • (v) Capital Notes 2;

  • (vi) Capital Notes 3; and

  • (vii) any securities or other instruments that rank or are expressed to rank equally with those preference shares and the Notes in respect of a return of capital in a Winding Up (as the case may be).

  • 8 (a) The Notes are perpetual securities in respect of which there is no stated maturity date or other fixed redemption date. Holders may not require any redemption or purchase of the Notes at any time.

Subject as set out below, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Issuer on the First Reset Date or any Reset Date thereafter at a redemption price equal to 100% of the prevailing principal amount of the Notes, together with any unpaid interest on the prevailing principal amount of the Notes for the period from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date to (but excluding) the date of redemption, except to the extent that the Issuer has determined not to pay or ANZ is obliged not to pay such interest as set out in Section 3 herein.

prevailing principal amount of the Notes for the period from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date to (but excluding) the date of redemption, except to the extent that the Issuer has determined not to pay or ANZ is obliged not to pay such interest as set out in Section 3 herein, if a Tax Event occurs; provided , however , that ANZ shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of reputable legal counsel confirming that the conditions that must be satisfied for such redemption have been satisfied or have occurred. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice of such a redemption of Notes, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem the Notes have occurred.

As used herein, “ Tax Event ” means the receipt by the directors of ANZ of an opinion from a reputable legal counsel or other tax adviser in Australia or the applicable Relevant Jurisdiction experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of:

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 25 -

known, which amendment, clarification, change or Administrative Action is effective, or which pronouncement or decision is announced, on or after the Issue Date and which on the Issue Date is not expected by ANZ to come into effect, it is likely that:

  • (i) the Issuer would be required to increase the amount of any interest scheduled to be paid on the Notes by payment of an Additional Amount in respect of any withholding tax and such an increase cannot be avoided within 60 days of such Tax Event by ANZ by filing a form, making an election or taking some reasonable measure that in ANZ’s sole judgment will not be adverse to ANZ and will involve no material cost to ANZ;

  • (ii) the Issuer is or would be no longer entitled to claim a deduction for any payments in respect of the Notes in computing its taxation liabilities in or relating to such Relevant Jurisdiction or the amount of such deduction is materially reduced;

  • (iii) where the United Kingdom is such Relevant Jurisdiction, the Notes are or would be prevented from being treated as loan relationships for United Kingdom tax purposes;

  • (iv) where the United Kingdom is such Relevant Jurisdiction, the Notes or any part thereof are or would be treated as a derivative or an embedded derivative for United Kingdom tax purposes; or

  • (v) any interest scheduled to be paid on the Notes would be a frankable dividend or distribution within the meaning of Division 202 of the Tax Act.

If, after the Issue Date:

  • (A) as a result of a Branch Change Notice, the Notes are issued through a branch located in a jurisdiction different from the jurisdiction of the branch through which the Notes were issued immediately before such notice, the references to “Issue Date” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be to the date the Branch Change Notice is given; or

  • (B) ANZ is merged into or consolidated with another entity, or all or substantially all of ANZ’s assets are sold or transferred to another entity (each, a “ Relevant Transaction ”) and in each case the home jurisdiction

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 26 -

for tax purposes of such other entity is not Australia (or if such jurisdiction has already become a jurisdiction other than Australia, is different to the jurisdiction which it is immediately prior to the Relevant Transaction), the references to “Issue Date” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be the date the Relevant Transaction is completed, provided that, the Issue Date will not be so amended if the location of the branch through which the Notes are issued is unchanged as a result of the Relevant Transaction.

Subject as set out below, the Notes may be redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Issuer at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the prevailing principal amount of the Notes together with any unpaid interest on the prevailing principal amount of the Notes for the period from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date to (but excluding) the date of redemption, except to the extent that the Issuer has determined not to pay or ANZ is obliged not to pay such interest as set out in Section 3 herein, if a Regulatory Event occurs; provided , however , that ANZ shall deliver to the Fiscal Agent an opinion of reputable legal counsel confirming that the conditions that must be satisfied for such redemption have been satisfied or have occurred. Immediately prior to the giving of any notice of such a redemption of Notes, the Issuer will deliver to the Fiscal Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth in reasonable detail a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to so redeem the Notes have occurred.

As used herein, “ Regulatory Event ” means the receipt by the directors of ANZ of an opinion from a reputable legal counsel, that, as a result of any amendment to, clarification of or change (including any announcement of a change that will be introduced) in, any law or regulation in Australia or any official administrative pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations or any statement of APRA, which amendment, clarification or change is effective, or pronouncement, action or decision is announced, or statement is made, on or after the Issue Date and which on the Issue Date is not expected by ANZ to come into effect (each, a “ Regulatory Change ”), the directors of ANZ determine that ANZ is not or will not be entitled to treat all Notes as Additional Tier 1 Capital in whole.

  • (b) Subject as set out below, ANZ (or any of its Related Entities) may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, purchase any Note at any time and at any price in the open market, in private negotiated transactions or otherwise.

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 27 -

  • (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or the Fiscal and Paying Agency Agreement, the Issuer may not redeem and ANZ may not repurchase any Notes without the prior written approval of APRA. Holders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be given for any redemption or repurchase of a Note.

Additionally, the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem and ANZ will not be permitted to repurchase any Notes unless:

  • (i) the Notes are replaced concurrently or beforehand with a Tier 1 Capital instrument of the same or better quality and the replacement of the Notes is done under conditions that are sustainable for ANZ’s income capacity; or

  • (ii) APRA is satisfied that the capital position of the ANZ Level 1 Group and the ANZ Level 2 Group is well above its minimum capital requirements after the Issuer elects to redeem or ANZ repurchases the Notes.

  • (d) Notice will be given once not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. If by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to give notice to the Holders in the manner prescribed herein, then such notification in lieu thereof as shall be made by the Issuer or by the Fiscal Agent on behalf of and at the instruction of the Issuer shall constitute sufficient provision of such notice, if such notification shall, so far as may be practicable, approximate the terms and conditions of the mailed notice in lieu of which it is given. Neither the failure to give notice nor any defect in any notice given to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of any notice with respect to that Holder or any other Holders. Such notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of such mailing. Notices to redeem Notes shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the applicable redemption price, the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the Notes to be redeemed. If the redemption occurs as a result of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event such notice shall also state that the conditions precedent to such redemption have occurred and state that the Issuer has elected to exercise its option to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 8(a).

Holders of this Note should not expect that APRA’s approval will be given for any redemption or purchase of this Note.

The “ Deed of Undertaking ” means the deed poll made by TopCo in favor of Holders.

A “ Non-Viability Trigger Event ” means the earlier of:

  • (i) the issuance of a notice in writing by APRA to ANZ that conversion or write off of Relevant Securities (including, without limitation, the Notes) is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that ANZ would become non-viable; or

each such determination being a “ Non-Viability Determination .”

A “ Trigger Event ” means a Common Equity Capital Trigger Event or a NonViability Trigger Event.

The “ Trigger Event Notice Receipt Date ” means the date of receipt of the Trigger Event Notice (as defined below) by DTC.

The Trigger Event Notice shall request that (to the extent not previously provided) Holders of Relevant Notes provide to ANZ or the Holders’ Nominee (as defined below) a notice (a “ Conversion Shares Settlement Notice ”), containing the information specified in subsection (b) below.

For so long as the Notes are held by a nominee of DTC, the Conversion Shares Settlement Notice must be given in accordance with the standard procedures of DTC (which may include the notice being given to ANZ by electronic means) and in a form acceptable to DTC and to ANZ. In order to obtain delivery of Ordinary Shares in respect of Relevant Notes, a Holder of Relevant Notes must (subject as set out below) deliver its Conversion Shares Settlement Notice on or before the date that is 30 days after the Trigger Event Notice Receipt Date (the “ Notice Cutoff Date ”).

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 29 -

  • (b) If a Trigger Event occurs:

  • (i) on the Trigger Event Conversion Date, subject only to subsection (f) below, such principal amount of the Notes as is required by the relevant Capital Deficiency Determination or Non-Viability Determination, as applicable, to be Converted will immediately Convert, provided that:

  • b. where a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under limb (i) of the definition of Non-Viability Trigger Event and such Non-Viability Determination does not require all Relevant Securities to be converted into Ordinary Shares or written off, such principal amount of the Notes shall Convert as is sufficient (determined by ANZ in accordance with subsection (b)(ii) below) to satisfy APRA that ANZ is viable without further conversion or write off; or

  • c. where a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under limb (ii) of the definition of Non-Viability Trigger Event, all the principal amount of all of the Notes will be Converted; and

  • (ii) on the Trigger Event Conversion Date, the rights of each Holder of the Notes (including to payment of principal and of interest with respect to such Note or portion thereof) in relation to each Note or the relevant portion thereof that is being Converted will be ~~immediately and irrevocably terminateda~~ utomatically transferred for an amount equal to the relevant prevailing principal amount of that Note that is being Converted and ~~ANZ T~~ opCo will apply that amount by way of payment for subscription for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted to such Holder in accordance with this Section 9 and the Deed of Undertaking.

In determining the number of Notes that must be Converted, ANZ will:

(Reverse of Security continued on next page) - 30 -

  • a. first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write off Relevant Securities whose terms require or permit them to be converted into Ordinary Shares or written off before Conversion of the Notes or in full; and

  • b. second, if conversion into Ordinary Shares or write off of those Relevant Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of subsection (b)(i) above, Convert Notes and convert into Ordinary Shares or write off other Relevant Securities on an approximately pro rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of ANZ, fair and reasonable (subject to such adjustment as ANZ may determine to take into account the effect on marketable parcels and the need to round to whole numbers the number of Ordinary Shares and any Notes or other Relevant Securities remaining on issue or outstanding, as the case may be, and the need to effect the conversion immediately) and, for the purposes of this Section 9(b)(ii)(b), where the specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant Securities is not the same for all Relevant Securities, ANZ may treat them as if converted into a single currency of ANZ’s choice at such rate of exchange for each such specified currency as, in each case, ANZ in good faith considers reasonable,

provided that such determination does not impede the immediate Conversion of the relevant number of Notes;

  • (iii) on the Trigger Event Conversion Date, ANZ shall determine the Holders whose Notes or portions thereof will be Converted at the time and on the date that the Conversion is to take effect and in making that determination may make any decisions with respect to the identity of the Holders at that time and date as may be necessary or desirable to ensure Conversion occurs immediately in an orderly manner, including disregarding any transfers of Notes that have not been settled or registered at that time and provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate Conversion of the relevant principal amount of Notes;

  • (iv) ANZ must give notice of its determination pursuant to subsection (b)(iii) above (a “ Trigger Event Notice ”) as soon as practicable to the Fiscal Agent and, for so long as the Notes are held by a nominee of DTC, to Holders via DTC which must specify:

  • (A) the Trigger Event Conversion Date;
