Company Secretary’s Office Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited 14/100 Queen Street MELBOURNE VIC 3000 www.anz.com

22 April 2008

Company Announcements Australian Securities Exchange Level 4 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000

Disclosure regarding shareholdings in various ASX listed entities

Reference is made to previous announcements made by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited ( ANZ ) regarding its interests in various ASX listed entities arising under transactions entered into pursuant to Australian Master Securities Lending Agreements with Opes Prime Stockbroking Limited and Leveraged Capital Pty Ltd (the Opes Prime AMSLAs ).

Except for Renison Consolidated Mines NL (RSN), where information relating to ANZ’s interests in that company was disclosed in the announcement that was provided to the the ASX on 21 April 2008, the details of ANZ’s interests in shares in the companies referred to in the schedule to the announcement that was provided to the ASX on 17 April 2008 (in terms of both numbers and percentages) remain unchanged as at close of trading on 21 April 2008.

The interests identified in that announcement may include shares which have been sold by the ANZ Group (as part of the Disposal Programme referred to in earlier announcements) pursuant to transactions which had not settled as at close of trading on 21 April 2008.

The schedules attached to previous announcements incorrectly indicated that ANZ had an interest in 43.301% of the total issued ordinary shares of Water Wheel Holdings Limited (WWH) arising in connection with the Opes Prime AMSLAs. The correct number of issued ordinary shares for this company is 17,139,223 and the correct percentage figure with respect to the number of shares in which ANZ has an interest arising in connection with the Opes Prime AMSLAs is 41.350%.

Yours faithfully

Simon Pordage

Deputy Company Secretary
