Dear Sir / Madam

Suncorp Group Limited (ASX: SUN) – Issue of AU$200 Million Wholesale Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes – Cleansing Statement

This notice is given by Suncorp Group Limited (ABN 66 145 290 124) (Suncorp) under section 708A(12H)(e) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act) as notionally inserted by ASIC Corporations (Regulatory Capital Securities) Instrument 2016/71 (ASIC Instrument).

  1. Suncorp will today issue AU$200 million Wholesale Additional Tier 1 Capital notes (the Notes) pursuant to its Note Issuance Programme (Programme). Offers of the Notes do not require disclosure to investors under Chapter 6D or Chapter 7 of the Act.
  2. The Notes are being issued as part of Suncorp Group's ongoing funding and capital management strategy. Suncorp may conduct further issuances of notes under the Programme as part of this strategy as well as when market conditions are identified as optimal for funding.

Accordingly, Suncorp expects to use the proceeds of issue of the Notes to fund Eligible Additional Tier 1 Capital of one or more Regulated Entities within the Suncorp Group and for its general funding and capital management purposes.
  3. This notice is a cleansing notice prepared for the purposes of section 708A(12H)(e) of the Act (as notionally inserted by the ASIC Instrument) to enable fully paid ordinary shares of Suncorp (Ordinary Shares) issued on Conversion of the Notes to be freely tradeable without further disclosure and includes:
  4. the terms and conditions of the Notes (Terms), which are set out in the "Terms of the Capital Notes" section of the Information Memorandum relating to Suncorp's Programme dated 24 April 2026, a copy of which is attached to this notice as Annexure A (Information Memorandum); and
  5. the Pricing Supplement dated 4 May 2026, which supplements the Terms of the Notes, a copy of which is attached to this notice as Annexure B (Pricing Supplement).
  6. Words and expressions defined in the Information Memorandum and Pricing Supplement have the same meanings in this cleansing notice unless the contrary intention appears.

Authorised for lodgement with the ASX by the Acting Suncorp Chief Financial Officer.

Disclaimer

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES

This notice (including the Schedule and Annexures) is not a prospectus or other disclosure document in relation to the Notes, and does not constitute an offer or invitation for the Notes or any Ordinary Shares for issue or sale in Australia. Notes are only available for sale to persons in Australia in circumstances where disclosure is not required in accordance with Chapter 6D or Chapter 7 of the Act and the sale is not to a retail client for the purposes of section 761G of the Act.

SCHEDULE

A. Effect on Suncorp of the issue of the Notes

As noted above, the issuance of Notes is part of Suncorp's ongoing funding and capital management strategy and Suncorp expects to use the proceeds from the issue to fund its Additional Tier 1 Capital as well as general corporate financing. The issuance of the Notes is expected to contribute to Suncorp's regulatory capital requirements and maintain the diversity of Suncorp's sources and types of capital funding.

The issue of the Notes will not have a material impact on Suncorp's financial position. If Suncorp issues Ordinary Shares on Conversion of the Notes, the impact of Conversion on Suncorp would be to increase Suncorp's shareholders' equity. The number of Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion is limited to the Maximum Conversion Number. Based on the Issue Date VWAP of AU$16.63, the Maximum Conversion Number for Conversion occurring on a Mandatory Conversion Date is 1,202.6458 Ordinary Shares per Capital Note (with a nominal value of AU$10,000) and the Maximum Conversion Number for Conversion occurring for any other reason is 3,006.6146 Ordinary Shares per Capital Note (with a nominal value of AU$10,000).

B. Rights and liabilities attaching to the Notes

The rights and liabilities attaching to the Notes are set out in the Terms as supplemented by the Pricing Supplement.

C. Effect on Suncorp of the issue of the Ordinary Shares if the Notes are required to be Converted

A key feature of APRA's requirements for Additional Tier 1 regulatory capital instruments is that they absorb losses at the point of non-viability of the issuer. The Terms include provisions that require the Notes to be Converted into Ordinary Shares in the capital of Suncorp or Written-Off on the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event. A Non-Viability Trigger Event will occur when APRA notifies Suncorp in writing that it believes that relevant non-viability circumstances (as described in the definition of "Non-Viability Trigger Event" in the Terms) subsist, which could occur at any time.

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and Suncorp Converts the Notes and issues Ordinary Shares to Holders (as required under the Terms), the effect of Conversion on Suncorp would be to reduce deposits and other borrowings by the principal amount, less any unamortised costs of the issue, of the Notes being Converted and increase Suncorp's shareholders' equity (ordinary share capital) by a corresponding amount. APRA has not provided extensive guidance as to how it would determine non-viability. Non-viability could be expected to include serious impairment off Suncorp's financial position and concerns about its capital, funding or liquidity levels and/or insolvency. APRA has indicated that non-viability is likely to arise prior to insolvency.

The number of Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion is variable, but is limited to the Maximum Conversion Number. Limiting the number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued to the Maximum Conversion Number means that it is likely that Holders will receive a number of Ordinary Shares that have a market value that is significantly less than the Face Value of the Notes.

The Maximum Conversion Number is calculated based on a VWAP set to reflect 50% of the Issue Date VWAP, if Conversion is occurring on a Mandatory Conversion Date, and 20% of the Issue Date VWAP, if Conversion is occurring for any other reason. The Maximum Conversion Number may be adjusted to reflect a consolidation, division or reclassification or pro rata bonus issue, of Ordinary Shares. However, no adjustment will be made to it on account of other transactions which may affect the price of Ordinary Shares, including for example, rights issues, returns of capital, buy-backs or special dividends.

Based on the Issue Date VWAP of AU$16.63, The Maximum Conversion Number for Conversion occurring on a Mandatory Conversion Date is 1,202.6458 Ordinary Shares per Note (with denominations of AU$10,000) and the Maximum Conversion Number for Conversion occurring for any other reason is 3,006.6146 Ordinary Shares per Note (with denominations of AU$10,000). If Conversion of any Notes does not occur for any reason within five Business Days after the occurrence of the Non-Viability Trigger Event, the Notes will be Written-off, and all corresponding rights and claims of Holders under the Terms including with respect to payments of Interest, any Arrears of interest and any Additional Interest Amounts and the repayment of the Outstanding Principal Amount, and upon Conversion, the receipt of Ordinary Shares will be immediately and irrevocably written-off and terminated, with effect on and from the Non-Viability

Trigger Event date in accordance with the Terms, and investors will lose all or some of their investment and will not receive any compensation.

D. Rights and liabilities attaching to the ordinary shares in the capital of Suncorp

Suncorp's constitution was released on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 24 December 2010. The ordinary shares in the capital of Suncorp are admitted to trading on ASX.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This Information Memorandum relates to a note issuance programme (the Programme) established by Suncorp Group Limited (SGL or the Issuer) under which medium term notes which may qualify as regulatory capital (collectively referred to as Notes) may, from time to time, be issued (as defined in the section entitled "Summary of the Programme" below). As used in this Information Memorandum, Suncorp Group means the Issuer and each of its subsidiaries.

This Information Memorandum has been prepared by, and issued with the authority of, the Issuer.

The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Information Memorandum other than information provided by the Arranger, the Dealer (such term to be deemed to include any other Dealers that may be appointed to the Programme) and the Agents (each as defined in the section entitled "Summary of the Programme" below) in relation to their respective descriptions in the section entitled "Directory" below.

No registration in the United States

This Information Memorandum, and any Notes issued under the Programme have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act. The Notes nor the Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon a Conversion of the Notes may not be offered, sold, delivered or transferred, at any time, within the United States, its territories or possessions or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act (Regulation S)) except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. Accordingly, the Notes are being offered, sold or delivered outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act (Regulation S).

Subject to applicable laws, regulations and directives, the Issuer may issue Notes under the Programme in any country including Australia and countries in Europe and Asia but not in the United States of America unless such Notes are registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (Securities Act) or an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act is available.

Notes will be issued in series (each a Series). Each Series may comprise one or more tranches (each a Tranche) having one or more issue dates and on conditions that are otherwise identical (other than, to the extent relevant, in respect of the issue price, the amount and date of the first payment of interest).

Each issue of Notes will be made pursuant to such documentation as the Issuer may determine. A pricing supplement and/or another supplement to this Information Memorandum (each a Pricing Supplement) will be issued for each Tranche or Series of Notes. A Pricing Supplement will contain details of the initial aggregate principal amount (if any), issue price, issue date, maturity date (if any), details of distribution or interest (if any) payable together with any other terms and conditions not set out in this Information Memorandum that may be applicable to that Tranche or Series of Notes. The terms and conditions (Terms) applicable to the Notes are included in this Information Memorandum and may be supplemented, amended, modified or replaced by the Pricing Supplement applicable to those Notes.

The Issuer may also publish a supplement to this Information Memorandum (or additional Information Memoranda) which describes the issue of Notes (or particular classes of Notes) not otherwise described in this Information Memorandum. A Pricing Supplement or a supplement to this Information Memorandum may also supplement, amend, modify or replace any statement or information set out in any previous Pricing Supplement or incorporated by reference in this Information Memorandum or a supplement to this Information Memorandum.

The only role of the Arranger, the Dealers and the Agents in the preparation of this Information Memorandum has been to confirm to the Issuer that their respective details, Australian Business Number (ABN) and Australian financial services licence (AFSL) numbers (where applicable) in the sections entitled "Summary of the Programme" and "Directory" below are accurate as at the Preparation Date (as defined below). Apart from this, none of the Arranger, the Dealers, their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisers or the Agents has independently verified the information contained in this Information Memorandum. Accordingly, no representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made, and no responsibility is accepted, by any of them, as to the accuracy or completeness of this Information Memorandum or any further information supplied by the Issuer in connection with the Programme or any Notes.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


The Arranger, the Dealers and the Agents expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer or any of its affiliates at any time or to advise any holder of a Note of any information coming to their attention with respect to the Issuer, the Programme or the Notes and make no representations as to the ability of the Issuer to comply with its obligations under the Notes.

None of the Arranger, the Dealers or the Agents make any representation as to the performance of the Issuer, the maintenance of capital or any particular rate of return, nor does the Arranger, any Dealer or Agent guarantee the payment of capital or any particular rate of capital or income return, in each case, on the Notes.

No person has been authorised to give any information or make any statements or representations not contained in or consistent with this Information Memorandum in connection with the Issuer, the Programme or the issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied on as having been authorised by the Issuer, the Arranger, a Dealer or any Agent.

Notes not policy liabilities

The Notes are not secured over the assets of the Issuer or the Suncorp Group, are not a policy liability of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries for the purposes of the Insurance Act 1973 (Cth) (Insurance Act), are not (i) protected policies for the purposes of the financial claims scheme established under Part VC of the Insurance Act 1973 (Cth) or (ii) policies with any member of the Suncorp Group for the purposes of the Life Insurance Act 1995 (Cth) and are not guaranteed or insured by any government, government agency or compensation scheme of Australia or any other jurisdiction or (iii) secured over any of the Issuer's, or any member of the Suncorp Group's, assets.

No member of the Suncorp Group other than the Issuer has any obligations in respect of the Notes. The Issuer has no obligation in respect of the Notes other than as expressly set out in the Terms. Neither the Issuer nor any member of the Suncorp Group guarantees the investment performance of the Notes.

Notes are complex instruments

The Notes are complex subordinated instruments and include features to comply with APRA's requirements for regulatory capital for a general insurer. The Notes are subordinated and unsecured and may be converted or written-off if a Non-Viability Event occurs. There are other risks associated with investing in the Notes, including the Issuer's right to defer distributions and payments of interest. Please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this Information Memorandum for a description of further risks of investing in the Notes. Neither the Issuer nor any member of the Suncorp Group in any way guarantees the capital value and/or performance of the Notes or any particular rate of return. Investors should obtain professional advice before deciding to purchase any Notes.

Intending purchasers to make independent investment decision and obtain tax advice

This Information Memorandum contains only summary information concerning the Issuer, the Programme and the Notes. Neither the information contained in this Information Memorandum nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation and should not be considered or relied on as a recommendation or a statement of opinion (or a report of either of those things) by any of the Issuer, the Arranger, the Dealers or Agents that any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes should subscribe for, purchase or otherwise deal in any Notes or any rights in respect of any Notes.

Each investor contemplating subscribing for, purchasing or otherwise dealing in any Notes or any rights in respect of any Notes should:

  • make and rely upon (and shall be taken to have made and relied upon) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of, the Issuer;
  • determine for themselves the relevance of the information contained in this Information Memorandum (including all information incorporated by reference and forming part of this Information Memorandum) and any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes, and must base their investment decision solely upon their independent assessment and such investigations as they consider necessary; and
  • consult their own tax advisers concerning the application of any tax laws or directives applicable to their particular situation.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


No advice is given in respect of the legal or taxation treatment of investors or purchasers in connection with an investment in any Notes or rights in respect of them and each investor is advised to consult its own professional adviser.

In addition, as the Notes may be Converted into Ordinary Shares, ownership of the Notes and Conversion of the Notes held by any investor will be subject to laws restricting the ownership or acquisition of Ordinary Shares or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares. These laws include (but are not limited to) the Corporations Act, the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth) and the Financial Sector (Shareholdings) Act 1998 (Cth). Prospective investors in the Notes must inform themselves of, and observe, such laws.

We note certain risks are disclosed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" of this Information Memorandum, however neither the section entitled "Risk Factors", this Information Memorandum nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes describes all of the risks of an investment in any Notes. Prospective investors should consult their own professional, financial, legal and tax advisers about risks associated with an investment in any Notes and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.

Selling restrictions and no disclosure

The distribution and use of this Information Memorandum, including any Pricing Supplement, advertisement or other offering material, and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions and intending purchasers and other investors should inform themselves about, and observe, any such restrictions. In particular, no action has been taken by any of the Issuer, the Arranger and the Dealers or the Agents which would permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this Information Memorandum in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. None of the Issuer, the Dealers or the Agents represent that any Notes may be lawfully offered for subscription or purchase or otherwise dealt with in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any jurisdiction outside Australia, or pursuant to any exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such offering or other dealing.

Neither this Information Memorandum nor any other disclosure document in relation to the Notes has been, or will be, lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). No action has been taken which would permit an offering of the Notes in circumstances that would require disclosure under Parts 6D.2 or 7.9 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act).

The Information Memorandum is not a prospectus or other disclosure document for the purposes of the Corporations Act.

EU PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and, should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (EEA). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (MiFID II); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the Insurance Distribution Directive), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the EU Prospectus Regulation). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the EU PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (UK). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is either one (or both) of the following: (i) not a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA); or (ii) not a qualified investor as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024. Consequently no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook (DISC) for offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


MiFID II Product Governance / UK MiFIR Product Governance / Target Market

The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" and/or "UK MiFIR Product Governance", as applicable, which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II and/or the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules), as applicable, is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance Rules) and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers (in each case, in such capacity) nor any of their respective affiliates (who may be acting in such a capacity) will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules and/or the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, as applicable.

Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (SFA)

Unless otherwise stated in the Pricing Supplement in respect of any Notes, all Notes issued or to be issued under the Programme shall be prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

A person may not (directly or indirectly) offer for subscription or purchase or issue an invitation to subscribe for or buy Notes, nor distribute or publish this Information Memorandum or any other offering material or advertisement relating to the Notes except if the offer or invitation, or distribution or publication, complies with all applicable laws, regulations and directives.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Agents or elect to have no Calculation Agent. Where no Calculation Agent is appointed, the calculation of interest, principal and other payments in respect of the relevant Notes will be made by the Issuer.

Agents:
Each Registrar, Paying Agent, Calculation Agent and any other person appointed by the Issuer to perform other agency functions with respect to any Tranche or Series of Notes (details of such appointment may be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement).

Use of Proceeds:
The net proceeds from each issue of Notes will be used by the Issuer for its general funding and capital management purposes, including to fund the regulatory capital requirements of regulated entities in the Suncorp Group, or as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Form of Notes:
Notes will be issued in registered uncertificated form and will be debt obligations of the Issuer which are constituted by, and owing under, the note deed poll dated on or about 24 April 2026, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or such other deed poll executed by the Issuer as may be specified in an applicable Pricing Supplement (each a Deed Poll).

Notes will take the form of entries in a register (Register) maintained by the Registrar.

Status and ranking of the Capital Notes:
The Capital Notes will constitute direct, unsecured, subordinated, perpetual obligations of the Issuer and shall at all times rank ahead of the Ordinary Shares; equally without any preference among themselves; equally with all Equal Ranking Instruments; and behind the claims of Senior Ranking Creditors (including claims of Holders of Subordinated Notes).

Status and ranking of the Subordinated Notes:
The Subordinated Notes will constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated debt obligations of the Issuer ranking ahead of the claims of all Junior Ranking Creditors; equally without any preference among themselves; equally with claims of all Equal Ranking Creditors; and behind the claims in respect of Senior Ranking Creditors.

Issuance in Series:
Notes will be issued in Series. Each Series may comprise one or more Tranches having one or more issue dates and on conditions that are otherwise identical (other than, to the extent relevant, in respect of the issue price and the first payment of interest). The Notes of each Tranche of a Series are intended to be fungible with the other Tranches of Notes of that Series to the extent permitted by law, regulation or directive.

Maturities:
Capital Notes are perpetual in nature and will have no stated maturity. Subject to all applicable laws regulations and directives, the Subordinated Notes may have any maturity as may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement or as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant purchasing Dealer.

Currencies:
Subject to all applicable laws regulations and directives, Notes will be denominated in Australian dollars or such other freely tradeable currency or currencies as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Issue Price:
Notes may be issued at any price on a fully paid basis, as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Distributions (Capital Notes):
The Issuer may pay a Distribution on each Capital Note in arrear on the relevant Distribution Payment Date at a fixed rate or a floating rate or a fixed-to-floating rate. Payment of Distributions is (i) subject to the Payment Condition and (ii) at the Issuer's discretion.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Interest (Subordinated Notes):

Subordinated Notes may bear interest at a fixed rate, floating rate or a fixed-to-floating rate. Payment of interest on Subordinated Notes is subject to (i) the Solvency Condition and (ii) optional deferral by the Issuer.

Payment Condition (for Capital Notes)

A Payment Condition will exist with respect to the payment of a Distribution on the Capital Notes on a Distribution Payment Date if:

(a) unless APRA otherwise approves in writing, paying the Distribution on the Distribution Payment Date would result in the Issuer not complying with APRA's then current prudential capital requirements as they are applied to the Suncorp Group at the time;

(b) paying the Distribution on the Distribution Payment Date would result in the Issuer becoming, or being likely to become, insolvent for the purposes of the Corporations Act; or

(c) APRA objects to the Distribution payment on the Capital Notes on the Distribution Payment Date.

If a Payment Condition exists at the time a Distribution may be payable, Holders will have no claim in respect of such non-payment and such non-payment will not constitute an Event of Default. Any Distribution which is not paid because of a Payment Condition existing will not accumulate.

Solvency Condition (for Subordinated Notes)

When the Issuer is not in a winding-up, no amount is due and payable by the Issuer in respect of a Subordinated Note unless at the time of, and immediately after, the payment the Issuer is not in a winding-up and would be Solvent (Solvency Condition). Holders are entitled to assume (unless the contrary is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any payment in respect of the Notes.

If the Issuer is not Solvent at the time an amount due and owing under the Subordinated Notes is payable, Holders will, subject to the Terms, have no claim in respect of such non-payment and such non-payment will not constitute an Event of Default. Any amount of Interest which is not paid because of the Solvency Condition, accumulates and accrues Interest at the Interest Rate in accordance with the Terms, and will be payable on the first Interest Payment Date on which amounts may be paid in compliance with the Solvency Condition.

Optional deferral of Interest (for Subordinated Notes)

If clause 3.9 (Optional deferral of interest) of the Subordinated Note Terms is specified as "Applicable" in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Issuer may, on any Optional Interest Payment Date, in its absolute discretion defer the payment of the interest on the Subordinated Notes which would otherwise be payable on such date, if certain conditions are met in accordance with clause 3.9 (Optional deferral of interest) of the Subordinated Note Terms. Any deferral of Interest in accordance with clause 3.9 (Optional deferral of interest) of the Subordinated Note Terms will not be an Event of Default.

Additional interest will accrue on each amount of Arrears of Interest at the Interest Rate from time to time applicable to the Subordinated Notes and such amount of interest will become due and payable pursuant to clause 3.10 (Optional and compulsory payments of Arrears of Interest) of the Subordinated Note Terms.

Denominations:

Subject to all applicable laws, regulations and directives, Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

Clearing Systems:

Notes may be transacted either within or outside any Clearing System (as defined below).

The Issuer may, at its absolute discretion, apply to Austraclear Ltd (ABN 94 002 060 773) (Austraclear) for approval for Notes to be traded on the clearing and settlement system operated by it (Austraclear System). Upon approval by Austraclear, the Notes will be traded through Austraclear in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Austraclear System.

Such approval by Austraclear is not a recommendation or endorsement by Austraclear of such Notes.

Transactions relating to interests in the Notes may also be carried out through the settlement system operated by Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear), the settlement system operated by Clearstream Banking S.A. (Clearstream) or any other clearing system outside Australia specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement (the Austraclear System, Euroclear, Clearstream and any other clearing system specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, each a Clearing System).

The rights of a holder of interests in a Note held through a Clearing System are subject to the respective rules and regulations for accountholders of that Clearing System. In addition, any transfer of interests in a Note, which is held through Euroclear or Clearstream will, to the extent such transfer will be recorded on the Austraclear System, be subject to the Corporations Act and the requirements for minimum consideration as set out in the Terms.

The Issuer will not be responsible for the operation of the clearing arrangements which is a matter for the clearing institutions, their nominees, their participants and the investors.

Title:

Entry of the name of the person in the Register in respect of a Note in registered form constitutes the obtaining or passing of title and is conclusive evidence that the person so entered is the registered holder of that Note subject to correction for fraud or proven error.

Title to Notes which are held in a Clearing System will be determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the relevant Clearing System. Notes which are held in the Austraclear System will be registered in the name of Austraclear.

No certificates in respect of any Notes will be issued unless the Issuer determines that certificates should be available or it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or directive.

Title to other Notes which are not lodged in a Clearing System will depend on the form of those Notes as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Other Notes:

The Issuer may from time to time issue Notes in a form not specifically contemplated in this Information Memorandum. Terms applicable to any other type of Note that the Issuer and any relevant Dealer(s) or other investor(s) may agree to issue under this Programme will be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement or a supplement to this Information Memorandum.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

Payment and Record Date: Payments to persons who hold Notes through a Clearing System will be made in accordance with the rules and regulations of the relevant Clearing System.

If Notes are not lodged in a Clearing System, then payments in respect of those Notes will be made to the account of the registered holder noted in the Register as at the close of business in the place where the Register is maintained on the relevant Record Date. If no account is notified, then payments will be made by cheque mailed on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant payment date to the registered holder at its address appearing in the Register on the Record Date or in such other manner as the Issuer considers appropriate.

The Record Date, for payment of a Distribution or Interest (as the case may be), is the close of business in the place where the Register is maintained on the eighth calendar day before a payment date or on any other date so specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Events of Default (Capital Notes): In respect of the Capital Notes, the Terms contain no events of default (however described, determined or defined). Accordingly (but without limitation), failure to pay, for any reason, any amount of a Distribution on the scheduled Distribution Payment Date will not constitute an event of default.

Events of Default (Subordinated Notes) An Event of Default occurs in relation to a Series of Subordinated Notes if, subject to its right to optionally defer interest and the Solvency Condition, the Issuer fails to pay:

(a) any amount of principal in respect of the Subordinated Notes of that Series within 10 days of the due date for payment; or
(b) any amount of Interest or other amount in respect of the Subordinated Notes of that Series within 30 days of the due date for payment, or
(c) an (i) order is made by a court (other than an order successfully appealed or permanently stayed within 60 days) or (ii) effective resolution is passed, for the winding-up of the Issuer in Australia (but not elsewhere), in each case other than for the purposes of a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or reconstruction which has been approved by a Special Resolution of the Holders or in which the surviving entity has assumed or will assume expressly or by law all obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Subordinated Notes.

See further clause 8 (Events of Default) of the Subordinated Note Terms.

Mandatory Conversion on the Mandatory Conversion Date (for Capital Notes): If specified as "Applicable" in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Issuer must Convert all (but not some) Capital Notes on issue at that date into Ordinary Shares on the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Mandatory Conversion Date will be set out in the applicable Pricing Supplement. Potential investors should refer to clause 5 (Mandatory Conversion) of the Capital Note Terms for a description of the conditions to Mandatory Conversion.

Non-Viability Trigger Event (for Capital Notes): It is a requirement under APRA's prudential standards that in order to be eligible for inclusion as regulatory capital, contain provisions for conversion or write-off in the event of non-viability.

A Non-Viability Trigger Event means APRA has provided a written determination to the Issuer that:

(a) the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write-off of Relevant Securities in accordance with their terms or by operation of law is necessary because without the conversion to Ordinary

11


Shares or write-off, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable; or

(b) without a public sector injection of capital into, or equivalent support with respect to, the Issuer, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable.

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs the Capital Notes, or a proportion of each Capital Note on issue, will be subject to Conversion or Write-Off under clause 6.2 (Conversion on Non-Viability Trigger Event) of the Capital Note Terms on the Non-Viability Date. If conversion or write-off under limb (a) above is applicable, such number of Subordinated Notes shall convert as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with clause 6.2(b)) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off. If conversion or write-off under limb (b) above is applicable (that without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support the Issuer would become non-viable) all Capital Notes must be converted.

If the Capital Notes are Converted, a holder of Capital Notes will receive Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the Conversion Number. The Ordinary Shares received may be worth significantly less than the principal amount of Capital Notes held by such holder, and the holder will rank for payment in a winding-up of the Issuer equally with other holders of Ordinary Shares.

Conversion on account of the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event is not subject to the matters described in clause 5.3 (Mandatory Conversion Conditions) of the Capital Note Terms as Mandatory Conversion Conditions.

The Capital Noteholder's rights (including to payment of distribution, and to receive ordinary shares of the Issuer) in relation to such Capital Notes being Converted on a Trigger Event Date shall terminate on that Trigger Event Date in relation to such Capital Notes which are Converted on that date. Where for any reason a Conversion has not been effected within five Business Days after the Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant Capital Noteholder are immediately and irrevocably Written-Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date.

Whether a Non-Viability Trigger Event will occur is at the discretion of APRA. APRA has not provided extensive guidance as to how it would determine "non-viability" however this is expected to include significant impairment to the Issuer's financial or regulatory capital position and may include the Issuer's solvency and 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. A Non-Viability Trigger Event could occur at any time.

Optional Exchange by the Issuer (Capital Notes):

The Issuer may with APRA's prior written approval, and subject to certain requirements set out in clause 7.4 of the Capital Note Terms, by notice to the Holders elect to Exchange:

(a) all or some Capital Notes on an Exchange Date following the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event;
(a) all (but not some only) Capital Notes on an Exchange Date following the occurrence of a Potential Acquisition Event; or
(b) all or some Capital Notes on an Optional Exchange Date.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Potential investors should refer to clause 7 (Optional Exchange by the Issuer) of the Capital Note Terms.

There can be no certainty that APRA would, if requested, provide its approval in respect of any Exchange.

Exchange means:

(a) Conversion in accordance with and subject to clause 9;
(b) Redemption in accordance with and subject to clause 4.2;
(c) Resale in accordance with and subject to clause 4.6; or

a combination of two or more of Conversion, Redemption or Resale in accordance with clause 7.3(b),

Conversion on Acquisition Event (for Capital Notes):

If an Acquisition Event occurs, the Issuer must Convert all (but not some only) Capital Notes on the Acquisition Conversion Date by notice to the Holders.

Potential investors should refer to clause 8 (Conversion on Acquisition Event) of the Capital Note Terms.

An Acquisition Event means:

(a) either:

(i) a takeover bid is made to acquire all or some Ordinary Shares and the offer is, or becomes, unconditional and:

(A) the bidder has a relevant interest in more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares on issue; or
(B) the Directors of the Issuer issue a statement that at least a majority of the Issuer's directors who are eligible to do so recommend acceptance of the offer (which may be stated to be in the absence of a higher offer); or

(ii) a court approves a scheme of arrangement which, when implemented, will result in a person other than the Issuer having a relevant interest in more than 50% of Ordinary Shares; and

(b) all regulatory approvals necessary for the acquisition to occur have been obtained;

Redemption or Resale (Subordinated Notes):

Subject to APRA's prior written approval (which is in its discretion and may or may not be given), and to satisfaction of the Solvency Condition, the Issuer may redeem or resell the Subordinated Notes on the Scheduled Optional Redemption or Resale Date specified in the Pricing Supplement (which will be no earlier than the fifth anniversary of the relevant Issue Date) or on the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event. The amount received by holders of Subordinated Notes on redemption is limited to the Outstanding Principal Amount (together with any accrued interest) in respect of the Notes which may be less than the market value of the Subordinated Notes.

There can be no certainty that APRA would, if requested, provide its approval in respect of any redemption, resale or repurchase prior to the scheduled maturity of the Subordinated Notes.

In addition, APRA stated that, consistent with its prudential requirements, where it considers any replacement capital to be more expensive (including because of higher credit margins), APRA may not approve a redemption unless the Issuer satisfies it as to the economic and prudential rationale for the redemption and that the redemption will not create an expectation that other regulatory capital instruments will be redeemed in similar circumstances.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Non-Viability Trigger Event (for Subordinated Notes):

It is a requirement under APRA's prudential standards that any term subordinated debt, in order to be eligible for inclusion as regulatory capital, contain provisions for conversion or write-off in the event of non-viability.

A Non-Viability Trigger Event means APRA has provided a written determination to the Issuer that:

(a) the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write-off of Relevant Subordinated Instruments in accordance with their terms or by operation of law is necessary because without the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write-off, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable; or
(b) without a public sector injection of capital into, or equivalent support with respect to, the Issuer, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable.

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs the Subordinated Notes, or a proportion of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note, will be subject to Conversion or Write-Off under clause 6.2 (Conversion on Non-Viability Trigger Event) of the Subordinated Note Terms on the Non-Viability Date. If conversion or write-off under limb (a) above is applicable, such number of Subordinated Notes shall convert as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with clause 6.2(b)) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off. If conversion or write-off under limb (b) above is applicable (that without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support the Issuer would become non-viable) all Subordinated Notes must be converted.

If the Subordinated Notes are Converted, a holder of Subordinated Notes will receive Ordinary Shares calculated in accordance with the Conversion Number. The Ordinary Shares received may be worth significantly less than the principal amount of Subordinated Notes held by such holder, and the holder will rank for payment in a winding-up of the Issuer equally with other holders of Ordinary Shares.

The Subordinated Noteholder's rights (including to payment of principal and interest, and to receive ordinary shares of the Issuer in relation to such Subordinated Notes being Converted on a Trigger Event Date shall terminate on that Trigger Event Date in relation to such Subordinated Notes which are Converted on that date. Where for any reason a Conversion has not been effected within five Business Days after the Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant Subordinated Noteholder are immediately and irrevocably Written-Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date.

Whether a Non-Viability Trigger Event will occur is at the discretion of APRA. APRA has not provided extensive guidance as to how it would determine "non-viability" however this is expected to include significant impairment to the Issuer's financial or regulatory capital position and may include the Issuer's solvency and 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. A Non-Viability Trigger Event could occur at any time.

Considerations in relation to Conversion or Write-Off:

Investors should consult with their own legal, tax and other professional advisors concerning the implications of investing and holding the Notes which

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


are subject to Conversion or Write-Off on the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

No set-off or netting in relation to the Notes
All payments in respect of the Notes must be made in full without set-off, netting or counterclaim, and without any withholding or deduction in respect of Taxes, unless required by law or the relevant Terms.

Stamp duty:
Any stamp duty incurred at the time of issue of the Notes will be for the account of the Issuer. Any stamp duty incurred on a transfer of Notes will be for the account of the relevant investors.

As at the date of this Information Memorandum, no ad valorem stamp duty is payable in any Australian State or Territory on the issue, transfer or redemption of the Notes. However, investors are advised to seek independent advice regarding any stamp duty or other taxes imposed by another jurisdiction upon the issue, transfer or redemption of Notes, or interests in Notes, in any jurisdiction.

Withholding Taxation:
All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without withholding or deduction in respect of Taxes, unless required by law or the relevant Terms. In respect of the Subordinated Notes, in the event that any such withholding or deduction is made in respect of a Tax, the Issuer will, save in certain limited circumstances, be required to pay additional amounts to cover the amounts so withheld or deducted.

It is intended that the Subordinated Notes may be issued in a manner that enables the Issuer to pay non-Australian resident Noteholders free of Australian interest withholding tax.

A brief overview of the Australian taxation treatment of payments of interest on the Subordinated Notes and payments of distributions on the Capital Notes is set out in the section entitled "Australian Taxation" below. However, this is not tax advice and should not be relied on as such. Investors should obtain their own taxation advice regarding the taxation status of investing in any Notes.

FATCA:
Financial institutions through which payments on Notes are made may be required to withhold United States of America (U.S.) tax pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (FATCA) or similar laws implementing an inter-governmental approach on FATCA.

If an amount in respect of U.S. withholding tax were to be deducted or withheld from any payment in respect of the Notes, neither the Issuer, nor any other person would, pursuant to the relevant Terms, be required to pay additional amounts as a result of such deduction or withholding. Noteholders should consult their own tax advisers on how these rules may apply to payments they receive under the Notes.

Listing:
It is not currently intended that the Notes will be listed on any stock exchange.

An application may be made for the Issuer to be admitted to the official list of, and/or Notes of a particular Series to be quoted on, the Australian Securities Exchange operated by ASX Limited (ABN 98 008 624 691) (ASX) or on any other stock or securities exchange (in accordance with applicable laws and regulations).

Any Notes which are quoted on the ASX will not be transferred through, or registered on, the Clearing House Electronic Sub-Register System (CHESS) operated by ASX Settlement Pty Limited (ABN 49 008 504 532) and will not be "Approved Financial Products" for the purposes of that system. Interest in the Notes will instead be held in, and transferable through, the Austraclear System.

The applicable Pricing Supplement in respect of the issue of any Tranche of Notes will specify whether or not such Notes will be quoted on any stock or securities exchange.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Notes may only be transferred:

Notes may only be transferred:

(a) pursuant to offers received in Australia if:

(i) the aggregate consideration payable at the time of transfer is a minimum amount of A$500,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies, in either case, disregarding any moneys lent by the transferor or its associates to the transferee) or the Notes are otherwise transferred in circumstances that do not require disclosure to be made under Parts 6D.2 or 7.9 of the Corporations Act;

(ii) the transfer is not to a "retail client" as defined for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act; and

(iii) such action complies with all applicable laws, regulations and directives; and

(b) in a jurisdiction outside Australia, if the transfer is in compliance with all laws, regulations and directives of the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place.

Transfers of Notes held in the Austraclear System, Euroclear, Clearstream or any other Clearing System specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement will be made in accordance with the rules, regulations and operating procedures of the relevant Clearing System.

Selling restrictions:

The offer, sale and delivery of Notes and the distribution of this Information Memorandum, are subject to such restrictions as may apply in any jurisdiction in connection with the offer and sale of a particular Tranche or Series. Certain restrictions are described in the section entitled "Selling Restrictions".

Governing law:

The Notes and all related documentation will be governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.

Ratings:

Any rating of the Programme, or of any particular Series of Notes, may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes and may be subject to revision, variation, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the relevant assigning organisation. Each credit rating should be evaluated independently of any other credit rating.

Credit ratings are for distribution only to a person (a) who is not a "retail client" within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act and is also a sophisticated investor, professional investor or other investor in respect of whom disclosure is not required under Parts 6D.2 or 7.9 of the Corporations Act, and (b) who is otherwise permitted to receive credit ratings in accordance with applicable law in any jurisdiction in which the person may be located. Anyone who is not such a person is not entitled to receive this Information Memorandum and anyone who receives this Information Memorandum must not distribute it to any person who is not entitled to receive it.

Investors to obtain independent advice with respect to investment and other risks:

An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. This Information Memorandum does not describe the full risks of an investment in any Notes. Prospective investors should refer to those risk factors set out in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this Information Memorandum and consult their own professional, financial, legal and tax advisers about risks and the tax implications associated with an investment in any Notes and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.

RISK FACTORS

This section describes only some of the risks of investing in the Notes, the Issuer and the Suncorp Group. It does not describe all of the risks and is not an exhaustive statement of all of the risks that might emerge. The selection of risks has been based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of the risk occurring and the impact of the risk if it did occur. However, the risks are not listed in order of likelihood of occurrence or impact and there is no guarantee that the importance of different risks will not change or that other risks will not emerge. Investors must take or obtain their own advice with respect to investment and other risks.

Investors should carefully consider these risk factors, together with the other information in this Information Memorandum, including the documents incorporated by reference, before deciding whether to invest in the Notes. If you are in any doubt about the risks associated with an investment in the Notes, you should consult your own professional, financial, legal and tax advisers about such risks and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of your particular circumstances.

1. Risks associated with the Notes

Notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations

The Notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer as described in "Summary of the Notes – Status and Ranking of the Capital Notes" and "Status and Ranking of the Subordinated Notes" above.

The Notes are claims on the Issuer, a non-operating holding company (NOHC) of the companies in the Suncorp Group. The majority of the Issuer's assets consist of investments in companies which are other members of the Suncorp Group. The Issuer's claims in respect of those investments rank behind the relevant company's policyholders and other creditors (as the case may be) in a winding-up of those companies. Holders have no claim on any other member of the Suncorp Group for payment of any amount in respect of Notes.

In a winding-up of the Issuer, if the Notes have not been Converted or Written-Off on account of a Non-Viability Trigger Event, the Notes are subordinated and Holders rank behind Senior Ranking Creditors. The Notes will rank equally with, and shall be paid in proportion to the claims of, in the case of Subordinated Notes, Equal Ranking Creditors and in the case of Capital Notes, holders of Equal Ranking Instruments. The Notes will rank ahead only of the claims of, in the case of Subordinated Notes, Junior Ranking Creditors and in the case of Capital Notes, Ordinary Shares. Holders will lose all of their investment in Notes, and any Interest due and unpaid at that time, if there are insufficient assets to satisfy Senior Ranking Creditors in a winding-up of the Issuer.

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and the Notes are Converted, Holders will rank equally with other holders of the Ordinary Shares for the return of any surplus assets in a winding-up of the Issuer after payment of all creditors and holders of any preference shares. If the Ordinary Shares to which certain Holders would have been entitled upon Conversion are issued to a Nominee, because the Holders are either Ineligible Holders or have elected not to receive Ordinary Shares (or where certain other circumstances as set out in the Terms apply), such Holders will have the right to receive the cash proceeds of the sale of the Ordinary Shares on market, and will have no claim against the Issuer or any other member of the Suncorp Group in respect of their Notes.

If the Notes are not Converted for any reason within five Business Days of the Non-Viability Trigger Event, they will be immediately and irrevocably Written-Off and the rights of Holders under the Notes will be terminated. In these circumstances Holders will have no claim on the assets of the Issuer or any other member of the Suncorp Group.

Conversion or Write-Off following a Non-Viability Trigger Event

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, the Issuer may be required to Convert some or all Notes into Ordinary Shares. If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and the Notes are required to be Converted, Holders will receive a number of Ordinary Shares based on a volume-weighted average price calculation over a period of days prior to the Non-Viability Trigger Event, subject to a Maximum Conversion Number. The number of Ordinary Shares a Holder will receive is limited to the Maximum Conversion Number. If for any reason Conversion does not occur within five Business Days of the Trigger Event Date, the Notes will be Written-Off and all rights of Holders in respect of Notes (including to Interest and payment of Face Value and to be issued with the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares) are immediately and irrevocably terminated on and from the Trigger Event Date.

Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion

The Maximum Conversion Number is the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Note would Convert assuming a price for Ordinary Shares which is the VWAP over a period of approximately 20 ASX trading days before the Issue Date multiplied by 0.2. If the market price of Ordinary Shares is less than that amount at the point of Conversion, the number of Ordinary Shares issued will be capped at the Maximum Conversion Number, in which

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


case, the number of Ordinary Shares is likely to have a market value less than the principal amount of a Note, and Holders will suffer loss as a result.

The Maximum Conversion Number may be adjusted to reflect a consolidation, division or reclassification, or pro rata bonus issue, of Ordinary Shares. However, no adjustment will be made to it on account of other transactions which may affect the price of Ordinary Shares, including for example rights issues, returns of capital, buy-backs or special dividends. The Terms do not limit the transactions that the Issuer 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.

The Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be able to be sold at the same price as the VWAP basis on which the Conversion Number has been calculated, or at all. Further, there are no conditions to Conversion and the number of Ordinary Shares received may be limited to the Maximum Conversion Number, the market value of which may be much less than the amount of the Holder's investment.

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and the Notes are Converted, Holders are obliged to accept Ordinary Shares or have such Ordinary Shares issued to a Nominee to be sold on their behalf. The Nominee will have no duty in relation to the price or terms of such a sale. Further, Ordinary Shares issued on account of a Non-Viability Trigger Event may not be quoted on ASX.

Determination of instruments required to be converted or written-off

Where a Non-Viability Trigger Event requires only some of the Issuer's relevant regulatory capital instruments to be converted or written-off (that is, where the Non-Viability Trigger Event does not involve APRA determining that the Issuer would become non-viable without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support and APRA is satisfied that conversion or write-off of such lesser amount of relevant regulated capital instruments is sufficient to ensure that the Issuer does not become non-viable), Relevant Tier 1 Capital Instruments would be required to be converted ahead of the Notes. In that case, if conversion of Relevant Tier 1 Capital Instruments is not sufficient to satisfy APRA that the Issuer would not become non-viable, then some or all of the Subordinated Notes and any other Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments would be required to be converted. In addition, Holders should be aware that there is no requirement that the rights attaching to Ordinary Shares be cancelled or limited before Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments or Relevant Tier 1 Capital Instruments are subject to conversion or write-off. Where a Non-Viability Trigger Event involves APRA determining that the Issuer would become non-viable without public sector injection of capital or equivalent support, all Notes must be Converted.

Occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event

Holders should be aware that a Non-Viability Trigger Event could occur at any time. It could occur on dates not previously contemplated by them or which may be unfavourable in light of then prevailing market conditions or Holders' individual circumstances. Accordingly, a 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. Whether or not a Non-Viability Trigger Event will occur is at the discretion of APRA and the Issuer has no obligation to take steps to avoid non-viability. APRA has not provided guidance as to how it would determine non-viability. Non-viability could be expected to include serious impairment of the Issuer's financial position and insolvency; however, it is possible that APRA's definition of non-viability may not necessarily be constrained to solvency measures or capital ratios and APRA's position on these matters may change over time. APRA may publish further guidance on the parameters used to determine non-viability, however, it is possible that it will not provide any further guidance and the Issuer has no control over whether it will do so. Non-viability may be significantly impacted by a number of factors, including factors which affect the business, operation and financial condition of the Issuer. For instance, systemic and non-systemic macro-economic, environmental and operational factors, globally and in Australia and New Zealand, may affect the viability of the Issuer.

Write-Off where Conversion does not occur following a Non-Viability Trigger Event

If for any reason Conversion does not occur within five Business Days of the Trigger Event Date, the Notes will be Written-Off and all rights of Holders in respect of Notes (including to Interest and payment of Face Value and to be issued with the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares) are immediately and irrevocably terminated on and from the Trigger Event Date. Holders will suffer loss as a result. Where Notes are Written-Off, Holders will not receive any Ordinary Shares in respect of their Notes, have no further claim on the Issuer and suffer a loss of their investment and, as a result, are likely to be worse off than holders of Ordinary Shares.

Risks with acquiring Ordinary Shares on Conversion

There is a risk that a Holder may, by acquiring any Notes (taking into account any Ordinary Shares into which they may Convert), breach applicable restrictions on ownership. Laws, including the Financial Sector (Shareholdings)

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Act 1998 (Cth), restrict ownership by people (together with their associates) of general insurer holding companies, such as the Issuer, to a 20% stake. A shareholder may apply to the Australian Treasurer to extend their ownership beyond 20% but approval will not be granted unless the Treasurer is satisfied that a holding by that person of greater than 20% is in the national interest. Investors should take care to ensure that, by acquiring any Notes (taking into account any Ordinary Shares into which they may Convert), they do not breach any applicable restrictions on ownership and should seek professional guidance from their solicitor, accountant or other independent qualified professional adviser in relation to their obligations.

Market price and liquidity of Ordinary Shares

Any Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion will rank equally with existing and future Ordinary Shares, so the ongoing value of Ordinary Shares received will depend on the market price of Ordinary Shares after Conversion. The market price of Ordinary Shares may fluctuate due to various factors. If Notes are Converted into Ordinary Shares, there is a risk that the market price of the number of Ordinary Shares received per Note on Conversion may be less than the Face Value of the Note and will also fluctuate due to any of the many factors that may affect the price of an Ordinary Share. There is also a risk that there may be no liquid market for Ordinary Shares at the time of Conversion, and there is also no guarantee that Ordinary Shares will remain continuously quoted on ASX.

Payments on Subordinated Notes are subject to satisfaction of the Solvency Condition

As described in "Summary of the Notes - Solvency Condition (for Subordinated Notes)", all of the Issuer's obligations to make payments in respect of the Subordinated Notes are subject to the Solvency Condition being satisfied. If the Solvency Condition is not satisfied, that is, if the Issuer is not able to pay its debts as they become due and payable and the Issuer'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. As a result, there is a risk that Holders will not receive amounts of Face Value, Interest or other amounts in respect of the Subordinated Notes on the dates scheduled.

Payments on Capital Notes are subject to satisfaction of the Payment Condition

As described in "Summary of the Notes - Payment Condition (for Capital Notes)", all of the Issuer's obligations to make payments in respect of the Capital Notes are subject to the Payment Condition being satisfied. If the Payment Condition is not satisfied, that is, if the Issuer is not able to pay its debts as they become due and payable and the Issuer'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. As a result, there is a risk that Holders will not receive amounts in the nature of Distributions or other amounts in respect of the Capital Notes on the dates scheduled. Any Distribution which is not paid because of a Payment Condition existing will not accumulate.

No rights for Holders to request or require Redemption or Exchange or acceleration of repayment

Holders have no right to request or require Redemption or Exchange, as applicable, or to accelerate repayment of their Notes (except where an order has been made or an effective resolution passed for the winding-up of the Issuer). Therefore unless the Issuer elects to Redeem Subordinated Notes before their Maturity Date or Exchange Capital Notes (subject to APRA's prior written approval, which is in its discretion and may not be given), Holders can only realise their investment in the Notes by selling them at the prevailing market price.

The Issuer may Redeem the Notes early in certain circumstances

The Issuer may (subject to APRA's prior written approval, which is in its discretion and may not be given) Redeem Subordinated Notes or Exchange Capital Notes as described in "Summary of the Notes - Optional Exchange by the Issuer (Capital Notes)" and "Summary of the Notes - Redemption or Resale (Subordinated Notes)" above. There is a risk that the amount received on Redemption, Resale or Exchange, as applicable may be less than the then current market value of Notes. The timing of any Redemption, Resale or Exchange, as applicable, may not accord with a Holder's individual financial circumstances or tax position. Holders should note that any approval is at APRA's discretion and may not be given. In addition, consistent with the relevant APRA prudential requirements, where replacement capital is considered to be more expensive (including because of higher credit margins), APRA may not approve a redemption unless the issuer satisfies it as to the economic and prudential rationale for the redemption and that the redemption will not create an expectation that other regulatory capital instruments will be redeemed in similar circumstances.

Market price and liquidity of Ordinary Shares

Any Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion will rank equally with existing and future Ordinary Shares, so the ongoing value of Ordinary Shares received will depend on the market price of Ordinary Shares after Conversion. The market price of Ordinary Shares may fluctuate due to various factors, including but not limited to, the risks associated Suncorp's business as outlined within this Information Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference) and other factors that may affect Suncorp Group's financial performance and position

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


or perception thereof. Investors should carefully evaluate the investment risks associated with an investment in the Issuer and the Suncorp Group (see "Risks associated with the Issuer" below). If Notes are Converted into Ordinary Shares, there is a risk that the market price of the number of Ordinary Shares received per Note on Conversion may be less than the principal outstanding of the Note and will also fluctuate due to any of the many factors that may affect the price of an Ordinary Share. There is also a risk that there may be no liquid market for Ordinary Shares at the time of Conversion, or the market at the time of Conversion may be less liquid than that for comparable securities issued by other entities. As a result, Holders of Notes who wish to sell Ordinary Shares on Conversion may be unable to do so at a price acceptable to them, or at all. See also "Conversion following a Non-Viability Trigger Event" above. There is also no guarantee that Ordinary Shares will remain continuously quoted on ASX, or that Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion will be quoted on ASX at all. Trading in ASX-listed securities may be suspended in certain circumstances, or may cease altogether.

The Issuer may fail to pay Principal, Interest or other amounts

There is a risk that the Issuer may not pay when scheduled or default on payment of some or all of the principal outstanding, interest or other amounts payable on the Notes. If the Issuer does not pay the amount owing, Holders may lose some or all of the money invested in the Notes. Events of default and remedies are described in "Summary of the Notes- Events of Default". The remedies of the Holders in the event of non-payment are limited. Failure to pay because the Solvency Condition or Payment Condition, as applicable, is not satisfied is not an Event of Default. There is a risk that the entire amount owed may not be recovered even if the Holder institutes proceedings against the Issuer. Further, although the Terms may specify certain remedies (for example, seeking an order for the winding-up of the Issuer), the grant of those remedies may be in the discretion of the court, and as such may not be granted.

No restriction on future issue or redemption of securities

There is a risk that the Issuer may issue other securities that may affect the return that a Holder receives on their investment in Notes. The Notes do not in any way restrict the Issuer and other members of the Suncorp Group from issuing further securities, or incurring further indebtedness, including indebtedness ranking ahead of or equally with the Notes. The Notes do not in any way restrict the Issuer from buying back or redeeming other securities whether issued now or in the future including other securities which rank equally with or junior to the Notes, or from making dividend or other payments in respect of the Ordinary Shares, or from reducing its capital. The Notes also do not require the Issuer to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity. An investment in Notes carries no right to participate in any future issue of securities (whether equity, Tier 1 Capital, Tier 2 Capital, subordinated or senior debt or otherwise) by the Issuer. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, which the future issue of securities by the Issuer, or the redemption or repayment of other securities, may have on the market price or liquidity of Notes, on the Suncorp Group's financial position or performance or on the likelihood of the Issuer making payments on Notes.

Changes in the Interest Rate

Where Notes are floating rate notes, the Interest Rate is calculated for each Interest Period by reference to the BBSW, which is a benchmark floating interest rate for the Australian money market. The BBSW Rate 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 BBSW Rate. It is possible for the BBSW Rate to be negative. The Issuer does not control the BBSW Rate nor the means by which it is determined, which may change. However, if the BBSW Rate is subject to temporary disruption or is permanently discontinued, then (subject to APRA's prior written approval), a replacement benchmark rate will be substituted as described in the Terms. 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 the Issuer, other members of the Suncorp Group or other entities.

Regulatory classification and prudential supervision

There is a risk that the position of Holders may be adversely affected due to the regulatory capital treatment of the Notes. This includes a risk that APRA's current treatment of the Notes may change (including where conditions to its approval are not met) and that may give rise to a Regulatory Event entitling the Issuer, with APRA's approval, to Redeem the Notes. APRA has confirmed that the proceeds of the Notes may be used to fund Tier 2 Capital of one or more Regulated Entities within the Suncorp Group under APRA's Prudential Standards. In order to obtain this regulatory capital treatment, the Terms contain features which may have adverse consequences for Holders which are described in the risks associated with the notes described in this Information Memorandum. APRA also has the power under applicable law to direct the Issuer or members of the Suncorp Group to (amongst other things) direct the Issuer not to make payments to Holders. In addition, APRA may, in certain circumstances, require the Issuer to transfer all or part of its business to another entity under the Financial Sector (Transfer and Restructure) Act 1999 (Cth) (FSTR Act).

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Amendments to the Terms

The Terms may be amended by the Issuer in certain circumstances. Where amendments are permitted to be made by the Issuer in accordance with the Terms, or passed by a resolution of Holders, Holders are bound by the amendments even if the Holder does not agree to the changes.

  1. Risks associated with the Issuer

Structural Subordination Risk

The Issuer is a holding company which owns or holds interests in general insurance companies in Australia and New Zealand. In the event that a subsidiary of the Issuer is wound up, the claims of the Issuer in respect of the subsidiary would be limited to the net assets (if any) of that subsidiary after all liabilities, including to policyholders, have been discharged or provided for. In addition, the Issuer is reliant on the continued receipt of dividends or other funding from its subsidiaries to make payments on its securities. The ability of the Issuer's subsidiaries to pay dividends, or to otherwise make funds available to the Issuer, may in certain circumstances be subject to regulatory, contractual or legal restrictions.

Relevant provisions of the Insurance Act, powers of a statutory manager and APRA secrecy rules

In certain circumstances APRA may appoint a statutory manager (an Insurance Act statutory manager) to take control of the business of an authorised NOHC of a general insurer, such as the Issuer. The powers of an Insurance Act statutory manager include the power to alter a NOHC's constitution, to issue, cancel or sell shares (or rights to acquire shares) in the NOHC and to vary or cancel rights or restrictions attached to shares in a class of shares in the NOHC. If an Insurance Act statutory manager is appointed to the Issuer in the future, these broad powers may be exercised in a way which adversely affects the rights attaching to the Notes and the position of Holders.

APRA may also, in certain circumstances, require the Issuer to transfer all or part of its business to another entity under the FSTR Act. A transfer under the FSTR Act overrides anything in any contract or agreement to which the Issuer is party and therefore may have an adverse effect on the Issuer's ability to comply with its obligations under the Notes and the position of Holders.

In addition, Holders should be aware that secrecy obligations may apply to action taken by APRA. This means that information about action taken by APRA (including in exercise of its powers under the Insurance Act) may not be publicly disclosed.

  1. Risks associated with the Issuer's business

The value of a Holder's investment will depend on the financial performance and position of the Issuer and the Suncorp Group

The Issuer and Suncorp Group are exposed to strategic risks, legal, regulatory and compliance risks and insurance industry specific risks (including exposure to the risk of financial loss and the inability to meet liabilities due to inadequate insurance product design, pricing, underwriting, concentration risk, reserving, claims management and/or reinsurance management and risk) which may impact the Issuer's and the Suncorp Group's financial performance. Please see the Issuer's most recent annual report and other documents incorporated by reference for further information on these risks.

Risk Management

The Issuer and the Suncorp Group have mechanisms in place, including risk management strategies and internal controls, whereby they can identify, monitor, and seek to mitigate some of the risks to which they are subject (and their impact). The Suncorp Group applies a consistent and integrated approach to enterprise risk management and recognises that strong risk culture, good governance and effective risk management are essential to achieving the Suncorp Group's strategy and maintaining its social licence to operate.

There are inherent limitations with any risk management framework as there may exist, or develop in the future, risks that the Suncorp Group has not anticipated or identified or controls that may not operate effectively. If any of the Suncorp Group's risk management processes and procedures prove ineffective or inadequate or are otherwise not appropriately implemented, the Suncorp Group could suffer unexpected losses and reputational damage which could adversely affect the Suncorp Group's businesses, financial performance, capital resources, financial condition and prospects.

Further information regarding the Suncorp Group's approach to risk management can be found in the most recent Issuer Annual Report.

3. Distributions

3.1 Distributions

Subject to these Terms, the Issuer will pay a Distribution on each Capital Note in arrear on the relevant Distribution Payment Date (a Distribution) at a fixed rate or a floating rate or a fixed-to-floating rate. The Pricing Supplement will specify which of clause 3.3 or 3.4 or 3.6 will be applicable to the Capital Notes.

The Distribution payable on each Capital Note for a Distribution Period is calculated according to the following formula:

$$
\text{Distribution payable} = \text{Distribution Rate} \times \text{Face Value} \times \text{Day Count Fraction}
$$

3.2 Distribution Rate determination

The Distribution Rate payable in respect of a Capital Note must be calculated by the Issuer in accordance with these Terms.

3.3 Calculation of Distribution Rate on Fixed Rate Capital Notes

The Distribution Rate applicable to a Fixed Rate Capital Note for each Distribution Period will be the rate specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

3.4 Calculation of Distribution Rate on Floating Rate Capital Notes

(a) The Distribution Rate applicable to a Floating Rate Capital Note for each Distribution Period is calculated according to the following formula (expressed as a percentage per annum):

$$
\text{Distribution Rate} = (\text{BBSW Rate} + \text{Margin}) \times (1 - T)
$$

BBSW Rate means, for a Distribution Period, the rate for prime bank eligible securities having a tenor closest to the Distribution Period which is designated as the "AVG MID" on the "Refinitiv Screen ASX29 Page" or "MID" rate on the "Bloomberg Screen BBSW Page" (or any designation which replaces that designation on the applicable page, or any replacement page) at the Publication Time on the first day of that Distribution Period;

Margin has the meaning given in the applicable Pricing Supplement; and

T (expressed as a decimal) means the Australian corporate tax rate applicable to the franking account of the Issuer at the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

(b) Each Holder shall be deemed to acknowledge, accept and agree to be bound by, and consents to, the determination of, substitution for and any adjustments made to the BBSW Rate as described in this clause 3.4 and in clause 3.5 below (in all cases without the need for any Holder consent). Any determination, decision or election (including a decision to take or refrain from taking any action or as to the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or circumstance), and any substitution for and adjustments made to, the BBSW Rate, and in each case made in accordance with this clause 3.4 and in clause 3.5, will, in the absence of manifest or proven error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Holder and each Agent and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms or other documentation relating to the Capital Notes, shall become effective without the consent of any person.

(c) If the Calculation Agent is unwilling or unable to determine a necessary rate, adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology or other variable in order to calculate the applicable Distribution Rate, such rate, adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology or other variable will be

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


determined by the Issuer (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) or, an alternate financial institution (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) appointed by the Issuer (in its sole discretion) to so determine.

3.5 Applicable Benchmark Rate Fallback

If:

(a) a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred; or
(b) a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred, then, subject to this clause 3.5, the BBSW Rate for a Distribution Period, whilst such Temporary Disruption Trigger is continuing or after a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred, means (in the following order of application and precedence):

(i) if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, in the following order of precedence:

(A) first, the Administrator Recommended Rate;
(B) then the Supervisor Recommended Rate; and
(C) lastly, the Final Fallback Rate;

(ii) where a determination of the AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (i) above, if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for which AONIA is required will be the last provided or published level of AONIA;
(iii) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (i) or (ii) above, if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for which the RBA Recommended Rate is required will be the last rate provided or published by the Administrator of the RBA Recommended Rate (or if no such rate has been so provided or published, the last provided or published level of AONIA);
(iv) if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, the rate for any day for which the BBSW Rate is required on or after the Permanent Fallback Effective Date will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(A) first, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, no AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the AONIA Rate;
(B) then, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, an RBA Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended Fallback Rate; and
(C) lastly, if neither paragraph (A) nor paragraph (B) above apply, the Final Fallback Rate;

(v) where a determination of the AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph 3.5(b)(iv)(A) above, if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for which AONIA is required on or after the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(A) first, if at the time of the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an RBA Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended Rate; and

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(B) lastly, if paragraph (A) above does not apply, the Final Fallback Rate; and

(vi) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (iv) or (v) above, respectively, if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for which the RBA Recommended Rate is required on or after that Permanent Fallback Effective Date will be the Final Fallback Rate.

When calculating an amount of a distribution in circumstances where a Fallback Rate other than the Final Fallback Rate applies, that distribution will be calculated as if references to the BBSW Rate or AONIA Rate (as applicable) were references to that Fallback Rate. When calculating distribution in circumstances where the Final Fallback Rate applies, the amount of a distribution will be calculated on the same basis as if the Applicable Benchmark Rate in effect immediately prior to the application of that Final Fallback Rate remained in effect but with necessary adjustments to substitute all references to that Applicable Benchmark Rate with corresponding references to the Final Fallback Rate.

The application of any Fallback Rate, other than the Fallback Rate described in paragraph (b) of the definition of "Final Fallback Rate", is subject to the prior written approval of APRA, such approval to be sought in accordance with the order of precedence specified in this clause.

Holders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for any Fallback Rate it considers to have the effect of increasing the Distribution Rate contrary to applicable prudential standards.

3.6 Calculation of Distribution Rate on Fixed-to-Floating Rate Capital Notes

The Distribution Rate in respect of a Distribution on a Fixed-to-Floating Rate Capital Note is the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) determined as:

(a) for the Fixed Rate Period, in accordance with clause 3.3 as if the Capital Note were a Fixed Rate Capital Note;

(b) for the Floating Rate Period, in accordance with clause 3.4 as if the Capital Note were a Floating Rate Capital Note.

3.7 Linear Interpolation

(a) If the Pricing Supplement states that "Linear Interpolation" applies to a Distribution Period, the Distribution Rate for that Distribution Period is determined through the use of straight line interpolation by reference to two BBSW Rates, AONIA Rates or other floating rates specified in the Pricing Supplement.

(b) The first rate must be determined as if the Distribution Period were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the length of the Distribution Period (or any alternative Distribution Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).

(c) The second rate must be determined as if the Distribution Period were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of the Distribution Period (or any alternative Distribution Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).

3.8 Franking adjustments

If a Distribution is not franked to 100% under Part 3-6 of the Tax Act (and any provisions that revise or replace that Part), the Distribution will be calculated according to the following formula:

$$
\text{Distribution} = \frac{\mathrm{D}}{1 - [\mathrm{T} \times (1 - \mathrm{F})]}
$$

where:

D means the Distribution calculated under clause 3.1;

T has the meaning given in clause 3.4; and

F means the applicable Franking Rate.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

3.9 Payment of a distribution

Each Distribution is subject to:

(a) the Issuer's absolute discretion; and
(b) no Payment Condition existing in respect of the relevant Distribution Payment Date.

3.10 Distributions are non-cumulative

(a) Distributions are non-cumulative. If all or any part of a Distribution is not paid because of clause 3.9 or because of any other reason:

(i) the Issuer has no liability to pay the unpaid amount of the Distribution;
(ii) Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of such non-payment; and
(iii) such non-payment does not constitute an event of default.

(b) No interest accrues on any unpaid Distributions and Holders have no claim or entitlement in respect of interest on any unpaid Distributions.

3.11 Distribution Payment Dates

(a) Subject to this clause 3, Distributions will be payable in arrear in respect of a Capital Note on the following dates (each a Distribution Payment Date):

(i) each date so specified in, or determined in accordance with, the applicable Pricing Supplement; and
(ii) each date on which an Exchange of that Capital Note occurs, other than a Conversion on a Trigger Event Date, in each case in accordance with these Terms.

(b) If a Distribution Payment Date is a day which is not a Business Day, then the Distribution Payment Date becomes the next day which is a Business Day.

3.12 Record Dates

A Distribution is only payable on a Distribution Payment Date to those persons registered as Holders on the Record Date for that Distribution.

3.13 Restrictions in the case of non-payment

If for any reason a Distribution has not been paid in full on a Distribution Payment Date (the Relevant Distribution Payment Date), the Issuer must not, without the approval of a Special Resolution, until and including the next Distribution Payment Date:

(a) declare, determine to pay or pay an Ordinary Share Dividend; or
(b) undertake any Buy-Back or Capital Reduction,

unless the Distribution is paid in full within 3 Business Days of the Relevant Distribution Payment Date.

3.14 Exclusions from restrictions in case of nonpayment

The restrictions in clause 3.13 do not apply to:

(a) a redemption, buy-back or reduction of capital in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement; or
(b) the payment of an Ordinary Share Dividend or completion of a Buy-Back or Capital Reduction which the Issuer had become legally obliged to pay or complete at the time that the Distribution was not paid.

28


Nothing in these Terms prohibits the Issuer or a Controlled Entity from purchasing Suncorp Shares (or an interest therein) in connection with transactions for the account of customers of Suncorp or customers of entities that Suncorp Controls or, with the prior written approval of APRA, in connection with the distribution or trading of Suncorp Shares in the ordinary course of business. This includes (for the avoidance of doubt and without affecting the foregoing) any acquisition resulting from acting as trustee for another person where neither the Issuer 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).

3.15 Calculations

For the purposes of any calculations required under these Terms:

(a) all percentages resulting from the calculations must be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest ten-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.00005% being rounded up to 0.0001%);
(b) all figures must be rounded to four decimal places (with 0.00005 being rounded up to 0.0001); and
(c) all amounts that are due and payable to a Holder in respect of the Holder's aggregate holding of Capital Notes of a Series must be rounded to the nearest one Australian cent (with 0.5 of a cent being rounded up to one cent).

4. Redemption, Resale and purchase

4.1 Redemption mechanics to apply to Redemption

If, subject to APRA's prior written approval and compliance with the conditions in clause 7.4, the Issuer elects to Redeem Capital Notes in accordance with these Terms, the provisions of this clause 4 apply to that Redemption.

Holders should not assume that APRA's approval will be given for any Redemption of Capital Notes under these Terms.

4.2 Redemption

(a) Capital Notes will be Redeemed by payment on the Exchange Date of an amount equal to the Issue Price (the Redemption Price) to the Holder.
(b) Redemption may occur even if the Issuer, in its absolute discretion, does not pay a Distribution for the final (or any other) Distribution Period.

4.3 Effect of Redemption on Holders

On the Exchange Date the only right Holders will have in respect of Capital Notes will be to obtain the Redemption Price payable in accordance with these Terms and upon payment of the Redemption Price, all other rights conferred, or restrictions imposed, by Capital Notes will no longer have effect.

4.4 No Holder option for early Redemption or Resale

The Capital Notes are perpetual securities in respect of which there is no maturity date or other fixed redemption date. A Holder cannot require the Issuer or any other person to Redeem or Resell (or otherwise purchase) a Capital Note.

4.5 Purchase

Subject to APRA's prior written approval, the Issuer or any member of the Suncorp Group may purchase in the open market or otherwise Capital Notes of any Series at any time and at any price. Any Capital Note purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be cancelled.

Holders should note that any approval is at APRA's discretion and may not be given.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

4.6 Resale mechanics

(a) If, subject to APRA's written approval, the Issuer elects to Resell Capital Notes of a Series in accordance with these Terms, the provisions of this clause 4.6 shall apply to that Resale.

(b) The Issuer must appoint one or more Nominated Purchasers for the Resale on such terms as may be agreed between the Issuer and the Nominated Purchasers (including, without limitation, as to the conditions of any Resale and the procedures for settlement of such Resale). If the Issuer appoints more than one Nominated Purchaser in respect of a Resale, all or any of the Capital Notes of the Series held by a Holder which are being Resold may be purchased by any one or any combination of the Nominated Purchasers, as determined by the Issuer, for the Resale Price. The obligation of a Nominated Purchaser to pay the Resale Price on the Exchange Date may be subject to such conditions as the Issuer may reasonably determine.

(c) The Issuer may not appoint a person as a Nominated Purchaser unless that person:

(i) has undertaken on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Issuer reasonably determines for the benefit of each Holder to acquire each Capital Note the subject of the Exchange Notice from the relevant Holder for the Resale Price on the Exchange Date; and
(ii) is not a Related Entity of the Issuer.

(d) Each Holder on the Exchange Date is taken irrevocably to offer to sell each Capital Note held by it which is the subject of an Exchange Notice to the Nominated Purchaser or Nominated Purchasers on the Exchange Date for the Resale Price.

(e) On the Exchange Date, subject to (i) payment by the Nominated Purchaser of the Resale Price for such Capital Note to the relevant Holder and (ii) payment by the Issuer to the relevant Holder of any Distribution accrued to (but excluding) the Exchange Date, all right, title and interest in such Capital Note (excluding the right to any Distribution payable on that date) will be transferred to the Nominated Purchaser free from encumbrance and the Issuer and the Nominated Purchaser may thereafter redeem or otherwise deal with the Capital Notes so transferred on the terms and at the times as agreed between them.

(f) If a Nominated Purchaser does not pay the Resale Price in respect of a Capital Note the subject of an Exchange Notice to the Holder of that Capital Note on the Exchange Date (a Defaulting Nominated Purchaser) (whether as a result of a condition to purchase not being satisfied or otherwise):

(i) the Exchange Notice as it relates to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser and the relevant Capital Note will be void;
(ii) such Capital Note will not be transferred to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser on the Exchange Date; and
(iii) the relevant Holder will continue to hold the relevant Capital Note until such Capital Note is otherwise Redeemed, Converted or Resold in accordance with these Terms.

5. Mandatory Conversion

5.1 Mandatory Conversion

If this clause 5.1 is specified as "Applicable" in the applicable Pricing Supplement, subject to clauses 6, 8 and 9, on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Issuer must Convert all (but not some) Capital Notes on issue at that date into Ordinary Shares in accordance with clause 9 and this clause 5.

5.2 Mandatory Conversion Date

The Mandatory Conversion Date will be the first to occur of the following dates (each a Relevant Date) on which the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are satisfied:

(a) the Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date; and


(b) a Distribution Payment Date after the Scheduled Mandatory Conversion Date (a Subsequent Mandatory Conversion Date).

5.3 Mandatory Conversion Conditions

The Mandatory Conversion Conditions for each Relevant Date are:

(a) the VWAP on the First Test Date is greater than the First Test Date Percentage of the Issue Date VWAP (the First Mandatory Conversion Condition);

(b) the VWAP during the period of 20 Business Days on which trading in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding (but not including) the Relevant Date (the Second Test Period) is greater than the Conversion Test Date Percentage of the Issue Date VWAP (the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition); and

(c) no Delisting Event applies in respect of the Relevant Date (the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition and together with the First Mandatory Conversion Condition and the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition, the Mandatory Conversion Conditions).

(d) In these Terms:

$$
\text{Conversion Test Date Percentage} = 101.01\% \times \text{Relevant Fraction} \quad \text{(expressed as a percentage)}
$$

$$
\text{First Test Date Percentage} = 110\% \times \text{Relevant Fraction} \quad \text{(expressed as a percentage)}
$$

5.4 Non-Conversion Notices

If:

(a) the First Mandatory Conversion Condition is not satisfied in relation to a Relevant Date, the Issuer will give notice to the Holders between the 25th and the 21st Business Day before the Relevant Date; or

(b) the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition is not satisfied in relation to a Relevant Date, the Issuer will give notice to the Holders on or as soon as practicable after the Relevant Date,

(each such notice a Non-Conversion Notice) that Mandatory Conversion will not (or, as the case may be, did not) occur on the Relevant Date.

6. Conversion or Write-Off on Non-Viability Trigger Event

6.1 Non-Viability Trigger Event

A Non-Viability Trigger Event means APRA has provided a written determination to the Issuer that:

(a) the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write-off of Relevant Securities in accordance with their terms or by operation of law is necessary because without the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write-off, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable; or

(b) without a public sector injection of capital into, or equivalent support with respect to, the Issuer, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable,

(such determination a Non-Viability Determination).

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

6.2 Conversion on Non-Viability Trigger Event

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

(a) on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to clause 6.5, such number of Capital Notes will immediately Convert as is required by the Non-Viability Determination, provided that:

(i) where such Non-Viability Determination is made on the grounds that, without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-viable, all Capital Notes must be Converted; and

(ii) where clause 6.2(a)(i) does not apply and such Non-Viability Determination does not require all Relevant Securities to be converted or written-off, such number of Capital Notes shall Convert as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with clause 6.2(b)) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off;

(b) in determining the number of Capital Notes which must be Converted in accordance with this clause, the Issuer will:

(i) Convert the Capital Notes; and

(ii) convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off all other Relevant Securities;

in each case on an approximately pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of the Issuer, fair and reasonable (subject to such adjustment as the Issuer 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 Capital Notes or other Relevant Securities remaining on issue) and, for the purposes of this clause 6.2(b), where the specified currency of the outstanding principal amount of any Relevant Securities is not Australian dollars, the Issuer may, for the purposes of determining the outstanding principal amount that is to be converted or written-off, convert the outstanding principal amount into Australian dollars at such rate of exchange determined in accordance with the terms of such Relevant Securities or, if those terms do not specify a basis for determining such rate of exchange, at such rate of exchange as the Issuer in good faith considers reasonable;

(c) on the Trigger Event Date the Issuer must determine the Holders whose Capital Notes will be Converted at the time on that 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 Capital Notes that have not been settled or registered at that time;

(d) the Issuer must give written notice of that event (a Trigger Event Notice) as soon as practicable to the Holders, which notice must specify:

(i) the Trigger Event Date;

(ii) the number of Capital Notes Converted; and

(iii) the relevant number of other Relevant Securities converted or written-off; and

(e) from the Trigger Event Date, but subject to clause 6.5 and clause 17.3(b), the Issuer shall treat the Holder in respect of any Capital Note which is required to be Converted as the holder of the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares and will take all such steps, including updating any of its registers, required to record the Conversion.

6.3 Immediacy of Conversion

A Non-Viability Determination takes effect, and the Issuer must perform the obligations in respect of the determination, immediately on the day it is received by the Issuer, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

32


None of the following shall prevent, impede or delay the immediate Conversion of Capital Notes as required by clause 6.2:

(a) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of any other Relevant Securities;
(b) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;
(c) any failure or delay in quotation of the Ordinary Shares to be issued on Conversion;
(d) any decision as to the identity of Holders whose Capital Notes are to be Converted; or
(e) any requirement to select or adjust the amount of Capital Notes to be Converted or any right to make determinations in accordance with clause 6.2(b) or 6.2(c).

6.4 Priority of Conversion Obligations

(a) Conversion on account of the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event is not subject to the matters described in clause 5.3 as Mandatory Conversion Conditions.
(b) A Conversion required on account of a Non-Viability Trigger Event takes place on the date, and in the manner, required by clause 6.2 (whether or not that day is a Business Day), notwithstanding anything in clause 4, 7 or 8.

6.5 Write-Off where Conversion does not occur

Where Capital Notes are required to be Converted, if Conversion has not been effected within 5 Business Days after the relevant Trigger Event Date for any reason (including an Inability Event), Conversion of those Capital Notes on account of the Non-Viability Trigger Event will not occur and those Capital Notes shall be Written-Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date in accordance with this clause 6.5 and the provisions of clauses 6.2(b), 6.2(c) and 6.2(d) shall apply in respect of that Write-Off and those Capital Notes as if each reference in those clauses to "Conversion" or "Convert" were a reference to "Write-Off".

In this clause 6.5, Written-Off means that, in respect of a Capital Note and a Trigger Event Date:

(a) the Capital Note will not be Converted on that date and will not be Converted, Redeemed or Resold under these Terms on any subsequent date; and
(b) the relevant Holders' rights (including to payment of Distributions and Redemption Price) in relation to such Capital Note are immediately and irrevocably terminated and written off,

and Write-Off has a corresponding meaning.

7. Optional Exchange by the Issuer

7.1 Optional Exchange by Issuer

(a) The Issuer may with APRA's prior written approval by notice to the Holders (an Exchange Notice) elect to Exchange:

(i) all or some Capital Notes on an Exchange Date following the occurrence of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event;
(ii) all (but not some only) Capital Notes on an Exchange Date following the occurrence of a Potential Acquisition Event; or
(iii) all or some Capital Notes on an Optional Exchange Date.

(b) An Exchange Notice under this clause 7:

(i) cannot be given in the period of 20 Business Days preceding (and not including) a Relevant Date where the First Mandatory Conversion Condition has been met in respect of that Relevant Date; and

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(ii) once given is irrevocable, provided that where a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs after the giving of an Exchange Notice, such notice will be taken to be revoked immediately and clause 6 will apply.

7.2 Contents of Exchange Notice

An Exchange Notice must specify:

(a) where clause 7.1(a)(i) or clause 7.1(a)(ii) applies, the details of the Tax Event, Regulatory Event or Potential Acquisition Event to which the Exchange Notice relates;

(b) the date on which Exchange is to occur (the Exchange Date), which:

(i) in the case of a Potential Acquisition Event, is the Business Day prior to the date reasonably determined by the Issuer to be the last date on which holders of Ordinary Shares can participate in the bid or scheme concerned or such other earlier date as the Issuer may reasonably determine having regard to the timing for implementation of the bid or scheme concerned or such later date as APRA may require;

(ii) in the case of a Tax Event or a Regulatory Event, is the last Business Day of the month following the month in which the Exchange Notice was given by the Issuer unless the Issuer determines an earlier Exchange Date having regard to the best interests of Holders as a whole and the relevant event; or

(iii) in the case of clause 7.1(a)(iii), is an Optional Exchange Date, which must fall no earlier than:

(A) 25 Business Days, where the Exchange Method elected is Conversion; or

(B) 15 Business Days, where the Exchange Method is Redemption or Resale, after the date on which the Exchange Notice is given;

(c) the Exchange Method in accordance with clause 7.3;

(d) if less than all Capital Notes are subject to Exchange, the proportion of the Capital Notes that are to be Exchanged;

(e) if the Exchange Notice provides that any Capital Notes are to be Resold, the identity of the Nominated Purchaser or Nominated Purchasers for that Resale; and

(f) whether any Distribution will be paid in respect of the Capital Notes to be Exchanged on the Exchange Date.

7.3 Exchange Method

(a) If the Issuer elects to Exchange Capital Notes in accordance with clause 7.1, it must, subject to clauses 7.3(b), 7.4 and 7.5 and subject to APRA's prior written approval, elect which of the following (or which combination of the following) it intends to do in respect of Capital Notes (the Exchange Method):

(i) Convert Capital Notes into Ordinary Shares in accordance with clause 9;

(ii) Redeem Capital Notes in accordance with clause 4.2; or

(iii) Resell Capital Notes in accordance with clause 4.6.

Holders should not assume that APRA's approval will be given for any Exchange of Capital Notes under these Terms.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(b) Subject to clauses 7.4 and 7.5, in the election under clause 7.3(a), the Issuer may specify which of Conversion, Redemption and Resale applies to a particular Capital Notes. Without limitation to the foregoing:

(i) the Issuer may select any one or more of Conversion, Redemption or Resale to apply to the Capital Notes held by a Holder; and
(ii) the Issuer may select a different combination of Conversion, Redemption and Resale in respect of Capital Notes held by different Holders,

but otherwise the Issuer must endeavour to treat Holders, in the case of an Exchange of only some Capital Notes, on an approximately proportionate basis (although it may discriminate to take account of the effect on marketable parcels and other logistical considerations).

7.4 Restrictions on election by the Issuer of Redemption or Resale as Exchange Method

The Issuer may only elect Redemption or Resale as the Exchange Method in respect of an Exchange under this clause 7:

(a) on an Optional Exchange Date; and
(b) in the case of a Tax Event or Regulatory Event,

and provided in all cases where the Issuer elects Redemption that APRA is satisfied that either:

(i) Capital Notes the subject of the Exchange are replaced concurrently or beforehand with Tier 1 Capital of the same or better quality and the replacement of the Capital Notes is done under conditions that are sustainable for the income capacity of the Issuer; or
(ii) APRA is satisfied that, having regard to the capital position of the Suncorp Group, the Issuer does not have to replace the Capital Notes the subject of the Redemption.

7.5 Restrictions on election by the Issuer of Conversion as Exchange Method

The Issuer may not elect Conversion as the Exchange Method in respect of an Exchange under this clause 7 if:

(a) on the second Business Day before the date on which an Exchange Notice is to be sent by the Issuer (or, if trading in Ordinary Shares did not occur on that date, the last Business Day prior to that date on which trading in Ordinary Shares occurred) (the Non-Conversion Test Date) the VWAP on that date is less than or equal to the First Test Date Percentage of the Issue Date VWAP (the First Optional Conversion Restriction); or
(b) a Delisting Event applies in respect of the Non-Conversion Test Date (the Second Optional Conversion Restriction and together with the First Optional Conversion Restriction, the Optional Conversion Restrictions).

7.6 Conditions to Conversion occurring once elected by the Issuer

If the Issuer has given an Exchange Notice in which it has elected Conversion as the Exchange Method but, if the Exchange Date were a Relevant Date for the purposes of clause 5, either the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition would not be satisfied in respect of that date, then, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms:

(a) the Exchange Date will be deferred until the first Distribution Payment Date on which the Mandatory Conversion Conditions would be satisfied if that Distribution Payment Date were a Relevant Date for the purposes of clause 5 (the Deferred Conversion Date);
(b) the Issuer must Convert the Capital Notes on the Deferred Conversion Date (unless the Capital Notes are Exchanged earlier in accordance with these Terms); and
(c) until the Deferred Conversion Date, all rights attaching to the Capital Notes will continue as if the Exchange Notice had not been given.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


The Issuer will notify the Holders on or as soon as practicable after an Exchange Date in respect of which this clause 7.6 applies that Conversion did not occur on that Exchange Date (a Deferred Conversion Notice).

8. Conversion on Acquisition Event

8.1 Notice of Acquisition Event

The Issuer must notify the Holders of the occurrence of an Acquisition Event as soon as practicable after becoming aware of that event (an Acquisition Event Notice).

8.2 Conversion on occurrence of Acquisition Event

If an Acquisition Event occurs, the Issuer must Convert all (but not some only) Capital Notes on the Acquisition Conversion Date by notice to the Holders (an Acquisition Conversion Notice) in accordance with this clause 8 and clause 9.

8.3 Contents of Acquisition Conversion Notice

An Acquisition Conversion Notice must specify:

(a) the details of the Acquisition Event to which the Acquisition Conversion Notice relates;

(b) the date on which Conversion is to occur (the Acquisition Conversion Date), which must be:

(i) the Business Day prior to the date reasonably determined by the Issuer to be the last date on which holders of Ordinary Shares can participate in the bid or scheme concerned or such other earlier date as the Issuer may reasonably determine having regard to the timing for implementation of the bid or scheme concerned; or

(ii) such later date as APRA may require; and

(c) whether any Distribution will be paid in respect of the Capital Notes on the Acquisition Conversion Date.

8.4 Where Acquisition Conversion Notice not required

Notwithstanding any provision of clause 8.2 or clause 8.3, the Issuer is not required to give an Acquisition Conversion Notice if either or both of the Optional Conversion Restrictions would apply if the Acquisition Conversion Notice were an Exchange Notice under clause 7 and in this case the provisions of clause 8.5 will apply.

8.5 Deferred Conversion on Acquisition Event

If clause 8.4 applies or the Issuer has given an Acquisition Conversion Notice but, if the Acquisition Conversion Date were a Relevant Date for the purposes of clause 5.2, either the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition would not be satisfied in respect of that date, then notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms (but without limitation to the operation of clause 6.4):

(a) the Acquisition Conversion Notice, if given, is taken to be revoked and Conversion will not occur on the Acquisition Conversion Date specified in the Acquisition Conversion Notice;

(b) the Issuer will notify the Holders as soon as practicable that Conversion will not (or, as the case may be, did not) occur (a Deferred Acquisition Conversion Notice); and

(c) the Issuer must, unless clause 8.4 then applies, give an Acquisition Conversion Notice (or, as the case may be, a new Acquisition Conversion Notice) on or before the 25th Business Day prior to the immediately succeeding Distribution Payment Date which is at least 25 Business Days after the date on which the Deferred Acquisition Conversion Notice was given.

The Acquisition Conversion Notice given in accordance with paragraph (c) above must otherwise comply with the requirements in clause 8.3.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


If this clause 8.5 applies but:

(i) clause 8.4 applies in respect of the Distribution Payment Date referred to in paragraph (c) such that no Acquisition Conversion Notice (or, as the case may be, no new Acquisition Conversion Notice) is given under this clause 8.5; or
(ii) an Acquisition Conversion Notice (or, as the case may be, a new Acquisition Conversion Notice) is given under this clause 8.5 and, if the Acquisition Conversion Date specified in the Acquisition Conversion Notice were a Relevant Date for the purposes of clause 5.2, either the Second Mandatory Conversion Condition or the Third Mandatory Conversion Condition would not be satisfied in respect of that date,

then this clause 8.5 will be reapplied in respect of each subsequent Distribution Payment Date until a Conversion occurs.

9. Conversion Mechanics

9.1 Conversion

If the Issuer elects to Convert Capital Notes or must Convert Capital Notes in accordance with these Terms, then, subject to this clause 9, the following shall occur:

(a) The Issuer will allot and issue on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Trigger Event Date, the Exchange Date or the Acquisition Conversion Date (as the case may be) the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to the Holders for each Capital Note held by the Holder which is required to be Converted.

The Conversion Number will be calculated by the Issuer in accordance with the following formula:

$$
Conversion\ Number = \frac{Face\ Value}{99\% \times VWAP}
$$

subject always to the Conversion Number being no greater than the Maximum Conversion Number. where:

VWAP (expressed in dollars and cents) means the VWAP during the VWAP Period; and

Maximum Conversion Number means a number calculated according to the following formula:

$$
Maximum\ Conversion\ Number = \frac{Face\ Value}{Relevant\ Fraction \times Issue\ Date\ VWAP}
$$

where Relevant Fraction means:

(i) in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, 0.5;
(ii) in the case of any other Conversion, 0.2;

(b) Each Holder's rights (including to payment of Redemption Price and Distributions other than the Distribution, if any, payable on a date (other than a Trigger Event Date) on which Conversion is required to occur) in relation to each Capital Note that is being Converted will be immediately and irrevocably terminated in full for an amount equal to the Issue Price of that Capital Note and the Issuer will apply that amount by way of payment for the subscription for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued under clause 9.1(a). Each Holder is taken to have irrevocably directed that any amount payable under this clause 9.1 is to be applied as provided for in this clause 9.1 and Holders do not have any right to payment in any other way.
(c) If the total number of Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued to a Holder in respect of that Holder's aggregate holding of Capital Notes upon Conversion includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share, that fraction of an Ordinary Share will be disregarded.
(d) The rights attaching to Ordinary Shares issued as a result of Conversion do not take effect until 5.00pm (Sydney, Australia time) on the Mandatory Conversion Date, the Exchange Date or the

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Acquisition Conversion Date (as the case may be) or, in the case of a Conversion on the Trigger Event Date, the time at which such Conversion occurs on that date.

(e) Subject to clause 9.12, where Capital Notes are Converted, the Issuer will allot and issue the Ordinary Shares to the Holder on the basis of the information provided under clause 9.11.

9.2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating the VWAP in these 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 Capital Notes 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 (the Cum Value) equal to:

(i) (in the case of a dividend or other distribution), the amount of that dividend or other distribution including, if the dividend or other distribution is franked, the amount referable to the franking credit that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the dividend or other distribution who is both a resident of Australia and a natural person under the Tax Act;

(ii) (in the case of any entitlement that is not a dividend or other distribution for which an adjustment is made under clause 9.2(a)(i) which is traded on ASX on any of those Business Days), the volume weighted average sale price of all such entitlements sold on ASX during the VWAP Period on the Business Days on which those entitlements were traded; or

(iii) (in the case of any other entitlement which is not traded on ASX during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement as reasonably determined by the Issuer; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares have been quoted on ASX as ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement, and Capital Notes will Convert into Ordinary Shares which would be entitled to receive the relevant dividend or other distribution or entitlement would be payable, the VWAP on the Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement shall be increased by the Cum Value.

9.3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change in the number of Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a Reorganisation, in calculating the VWAP for that VWAP Period, the daily VWAP applicable on each day in the relevant VWAP Period which falls before the date on which trading in Ordinary Shares is conducted on a post Reorganisation basis shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the following formula:

A

B where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the Reorganisation.

9.4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, adjustments to the VWAP will be made in accordance with clauses 9.2 and 9.3 during the VWAP Period for the Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date, adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made by the Issuer in accordance with clauses 9.5, 9.6 and 9.7; and

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(b) if so made, will correspondingly:

(i) affect the application of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions and the Optional Conversion Restrictions; and
(ii) cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

9.5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for bonus issues

(a) Subject to clauses 9.5(b) and 9.5(c), if at any time after the Issue Date, the Issuer makes a pro-rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to holders of Ordinary Shares generally, the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

$$V = \frac{V_0 \times RD}{(RD + RN)}$$

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application of this formula;
VO means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately prior to the application of this formula;
RD means the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately prior to the allotment of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the bonus issue; and
RN means the number of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the bonus issue.

(b) Clause 9.5(a) does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued as part of a bonus share plan, employee or executive share plan, executive option plan, share top up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend reinvestment plan.
(c) For the purposes of this clause 9.5, an issue will be regarded as a pro-rata issue notwithstanding that the Issuer does not make offers to some or all holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside Australia, provided that in so doing the Issuer is not in contravention of the ASX Listing Rules.
(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this clause 9.5 for any offer of Ordinary Shares not covered by clause 9.5(a), including a rights issue or other essentially pro rata issue.
(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of Ordinary Shares except as covered by clause 9.5(a) shall not in any way restrict the Issuer from issuing Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit nor be taken to constitute a modification or variation of rights or privileges of Holders or otherwise requiring any consent or concurrence of the Holders.

9.6 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date there is a change in the number of Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a Reorganisation, the Issuer shall adjust the Issue Date VWAP by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP applicable on the Business Day immediately before the date of any such Reorganisation by the following formula:

A
B where:
A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the Reorganisation; and
B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the Reorganisation.

(b) Each Holder acknowledges that the Issuer may consolidate, divide or reclassify securities so that there is a lesser or greater number of Ordinary Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action constituting a modification or variation of rights or privileges of Holders or otherwise requiring any consent or concurrence or any Holder.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


9.7 No adjustment to Issue Date VWAP in certain circumstances

Despite the provisions of clauses 9.5 and 9.6, no adjustment shall be made to the Issue Date VWAP where any such adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less than one per cent of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

9.8 Certain provisions relating to adjustments

(a) The Issuer will notify Holders (an Adjustment Notice) of any adjustment to the Issue Date VWAP under this clause 9 within 10 Business Days of the Issuer determining the adjustment.

(b) Any adjustment to the VWAP or Issue Date VWAP in accordance with this clause 9 will be effective and binding on Holders under these Terms and these Terms will be construed accordingly.

9.9 Status of Ordinary Shares

Each Ordinary Share issued upon Conversion will rank equally with all other fully paid Ordinary Shares.

9.10 Foreign Holders

Where Capital Notes held by a Foreign Holder are to be Converted, unless the Issuer is satisfied that the laws of the Foreign Holder's country of residence permit the issue of Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which the Issuer is not bound to enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the Issuer in its absolute discretion regards as acceptable and not unduly onerous, the Ordinary Shares which the Foreign Holder is obliged to accept will, subject to clause 6.5, be issued to a nominee appointed by the Issuer (which must not be a Related Entity of the Issuer) who will sell those Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the Proceeds to the Foreign Holder accordingly.

9.11 Information for Conversion

Where a Capital Note is required to be Converted under these Terms, a Holder wishing to receive Ordinary Shares must in a Holder Details Notice to be given no later than the Trigger Event Date have provided to the Issuer:

(a) its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name it directs the Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title and receipt of any certificate or holding statement in respect of any Ordinary Shares;

(b) the security account details in CHESS or such other account to which the Ordinary Shares may be credited; and

(c) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the purposes of enabling it to issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to such Holder.

The Issuer has no duty to seek or obtain such information.

9.12 Conversion where the Holder does not wish to receive Ordinary Shares

If the Issuer has elected or is required to Convert the Capital Notes and the Holder has notified the Issuer that it does not wish to receive Ordinary Shares as a result of Conversion, which notice may be given by the Holder at any time on or after the Issue Date and no less than 15 Business Days prior to the date scheduled for Conversion, then, on the date for Conversion, the number of Ordinary Shares which that Holder is obliged to accept will be issued to a nominee appointed by the Issuer (which must not be a Related Entity of the Issuer) who will sell that number of Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the Proceeds to the relevant Holder.

9.13 FATCA withholding

Where a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion of Capital Notes, or where the Issuer has reasonable grounds to suspect that a FATCA Withholding would be required to be made in respect of Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion of Capital Notes, the Ordinary Shares which the Holder is obliged to accept will be issued to the Holder of the Capital Note only to the extent (if at all) that the issue is net of FATCA Withholding and the Issuer will issue the balance of the Ordinary Shares (if any) to a nominee appointed by the Issuer (which must not be a Related Entity of the

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Issuer) who will sell those Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the Proceeds, net of any FATCA Withholding, to the Holder.

9.14 No duty on sale

For the purposes of clauses 9.10 and 9.11:

(a) the issue of Ordinary Shares to a nominee satisfies the obligation of the Issuer to issue Ordinary Shares in connection with the Conversion and on and from the issue of those Ordinary Shares, the rights of a Holder the subject of, as applicable, clause 9.10 or 9.11 in respect of those Ordinary Shares are limited to its rights in respect of the Proceeds as provided in, as applicable, clause 9.10 or 9.11; and

(b) Neither the Issuer nor the nominee appointed by the Issuer owes any obligations or duties to the Holders in relation to the price for which, or other Terms on which, Ordinary Shares are sold and neither the Issuer nor the nominee appointed by the Issuer has any liability for any loss suffered by a Holder as a result of the sale of Ordinary Shares.

9.15 Listing Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion

The Issuer shall use all reasonable endeavours to list the Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion of Capital Notes on ASX. Holders of the Capital Notes are deemed to agree not to trade Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion (except as permitted by the Corporations Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules) until the Issuer has taken such steps as are required by the Corporations Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules for the shares to be freely tradeable without such further disclosure or other action and agrees to allow the Issuer to impose a holding lock or refuse to register a transfer in respect of Ordinary Shares until such time. If applicable, the Issuer will promptly notify Holders when this restriction on trading ceases to apply.

9.16 Power of attorney

(a) Each Holder appoints each of the Issuer, its officers and any External Administrator of the Issuer (each an Attorney) severally to be the attorney of the Holder with power in the name and on behalf of the Holder to sign all documents and transfers and do any other thing as may in the Attorney's opinion be necessary or desirable to be done in order for the Holder to observe or perform the Holder's obligations under these Terms including, but not limited to, effecting any transfers of the Capital Notes, Conversion, Write-Off, Redemption or Resale, making any entry in the Register or the register of any Ordinary Shares or exercising any voting power in relation to any consent or approval required for Conversion, Write-Off, Redemption or Resale.

(b) The power of attorney given in this clause 9.16 is given for valuable consideration and to secure the performance by the Holder of the Holder's obligations under these Terms and is irrevocable.

9.17 No right of Holders to request Conversion

No Capital Notes can, or will be, Converted at the option of a Holder.

9.18 Conversion after winding-up commences

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, then Conversion shall occur (subject to clause 6.5) in accordance with clauses 5 and 7 notwithstanding that an order is made by a court, or an effective resolution is passed, for the winding-up of the Issuer.

9.19 Consent to receive Ordinary Shares and other acknowledgements

Subject to clause 6.5, each Holder irrevocably:

(a) upon receipt of the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares following Conversion of Capital Notes in accordance with clause 5 and this clause 9, consents to becoming a member of the Issuer and agrees to be bound by the constitution of the Issuer, in each case in respect of Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion;

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(b) acknowledges and agrees that, unless it has given notice in accordance with clause 9.12 that it does not wish to receive Ordinary Shares as a result of Conversion, it is obliged to accept Ordinary Shares on Conversion notwithstanding anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion of Capital Notes including:

(i) any change in the financial position of the Issuer or the Suncorp Group since the Issue Date;
(ii) it being impossible or impracticable to list the Ordinary Shares on the ASX;
(iii) it being impossible or impracticable to sell or otherwise dispose of the Ordinary Shares;
(iv) any disruption to the market or potential market for Ordinary Shares or capital markets generally;
(v) any breach by the Issuer of any obligation in connection with the Capital Notes;
(vi) any failure or delay in conversion or write-off of other Relevant Securities;
(vii) the occurrence of a Regulatory Event or a Tax Event; or
(viii) any dispute as to the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event;

(c) acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) where clause 6.2 applies:

(A) there are no other conditions to a Non-Viability Conversion occurring as and when provided in clauses 6.1 to 6.4 (inclusive);
(B) Conversion must occur immediately on the Trigger Event Date and Conversion or Write-Off may result in disruption or failures in trading or dealings in the Capital Notes or other loss to Holders;
(C) it will not have any rights to vote or object in respect of any Conversion or Write-Off or any adjustment contemplated by clause 6;

(ii) the only conditions to a Mandatory Conversion are the Mandatory Conversion Conditions;
(iii) the only conditions to a Conversion on account of an Exchange under clause 7 or a Conversion under clause 8 are the conditions expressly applicable to such Conversion as provided in clauses 7 and 8 of these Terms and no other conditions or events will affect Conversion; and
(iv) clauses 6.4 and 6.5 are fundamental terms and where clause 6.5 applies, no other conditions or events will affect the operation of that clause and it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off;
(v) it has no claim against the Issuer for any loss it may suffer arising in connection with any Conversion or Write-Off;
(vi) it has no rights to compensation from, or any other remedies against, the Issuer or any other member of the Suncorp Group on account of the failure of the Issuer to issue Ordinary Shares if the Issuer is for any reason prevented from doing so;
(vii) the determinations made by the Issuer under clause 5 are final and binding; and
(viii) notwithstanding clause 9.9, Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at the time of Conversion or at all;

(d) agrees to provide to the Issuer any information necessary to give effect to a Conversion;

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(e) acknowledges and agrees that it has no right to determine whether Capital Notes are Converted; and
(f) acknowledges and agrees that it has no remedies on account of the failure of the Issuer to issue Ordinary Shares in accordance with this clause 9 other than, subject to clause 6.5, to seek specific performance of the Issuer's obligation to issue Ordinary Shares.

10. Winding-up and Subordination

10.1 Winding-up

In a winding-up of the Issuer in Australia, a claim by a Holder, or any other person on behalf of the Holder, for the Redemption Price, is subordinated to the claims of Senior Ranking Creditors in that:

(a) all claims of Senior Ranking Creditors must be paid in full before the Holder's claim is paid;
(b) until the Senior Ranking Creditors have been paid in full, the Holder must not claim in the winding-up in competition with the Senior Ranking Creditors so as to diminish any distribution, dividend or payment which, but for that claim, the Senior Ranking Creditors would have been entitled to receive; and
(c) such claim shall be paid in proportion to, the claims of Holders of other instruments issued as Equal Ranking Instruments, so that each Holder receives, for the Capital Note, an amount equal to the amount it would have received if, in the winding-up of the Issuer, it had held an issued and fully paid Preference Share.

10.2 Agreements and acknowledgements of Holders

Each Holder irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) this clause 10 is a debt subordination for the purposes of section 563C of the Corporations Act;
(b) 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;
(c) it must not exercise its voting rights (as a creditor in respect of the Capital Notes) in the winding-up or administration of the Issuer in any jurisdiction to defeat the subordination in this clause 10;
(d) it must pay or deliver to the liquidator any amount or asset received on account of its claim in the winding-up of the Issuer in connection with a Capital Note in excess of its entitlement under clause 10.1 above;
(e) the debt subordination effected by this clause 10 is not affected by any act or omission of the Issuer or a Senior Ranking Creditor which might otherwise affect it at law or in equity;
(f) there is no limit on the amount of debt or other obligations which rank equally with or ahead of the Capital Notes that may be incurred or assumed by the Issuer;
(g) it has no right to apply for the Issuer to be wound up, or placed in administration, or to cause an External Administrator to be appointed in respect of the Issuer merely on the grounds that the Issuer does not or is or may become unable to pay distribution when scheduled in respect of a Capital Note; and
(h) these Terms contain no events of default (however described, determined or defined). Accordingly (but without limitation), failure to pay in full, for any reason, an amount of a distribution on the scheduled Distribution Payment Date will not constitute an event of default.

10.3 No consent of Senior Ranking Creditors

Nothing in clause 2 or this clause 10 shall be taken:

(a) to require the consent of any Senior Ranking Creditor to any amendment of these Terms; or

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(b) to create a charge or security interest over any right of a Holder.

10.4 Further issues

The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of Holders, issue further Capital Notes having the same Terms as the Capital Notes of any Series in all respects (or in all respects except for the Issue Price, Issue Date and the first Distribution Payment Date and Distribution Commencement Date) so as to form a single Series with the Capital Notes of that Series, provided that the requirements of APRA that the Capital Notes be eligible to fund Additional Tier 1 Capital of a Regulated Entity within the Suncorp Group are met. References in these Terms to the Capital Notes include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other Capital Notes issued pursuant to this clause 10.4 and forming a single Series with the Capital Notes.

11. Title and transfer of Capital Notes

11.1 Title

Title to Capital Notes passes when details of the transfer are entered in the Register.

11.2 Effect of entries in Register

Each entry in the Register in respect of a Capital Note constitutes:

(a) an unconditional and irrevocable undertaking by the Issuer to the Holder to pay Distribution and any other amount subject to, and in accordance with, these Terms;

(b) an entitlement to the other benefits given to Holders under these Terms and the Deed Poll in respect of the Capital Note; and

(c) a separate and individual acknowledgement to the relevant Holder of the indebtedness of the Issuer to the relevant Holder and the Holder to whom those obligations are owed is entitled to enforce them without having to join any other Holder or any predecessor in title of a Holder.

11.3 Register conclusive as to ownership

Entries in the Register in relation to a Capital Note constitute conclusive evidence that the person so entered is the absolute owner of the Capital Note subject to correction for fraud or error.

11.4 Non-recognition of interests

(a) Except as required by law, the Issuer and the Registrar must treat the person whose name is entered in the Register as the holder of a Capital Note as the absolute owner of that Capital Note. This clause 11.4 applies whether or not payment has not be made as scheduled in respect of a Capital Note and despite any notice of ownership, trust or interest in the Capital Note.

(b) No notice of any trust, Encumbrance or other interest in, or claim to any Capital Note will be entered in the Register.

11.5 Joint holders

Where two or more persons are entered in the Register as the joint holders of a Capital Note then they are taken to hold the Capital Note as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, but the Registrar is not bound to register more than four persons as joint holders of any Capital Note.

11.6 Austraclear

(a) If Capital Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, the Registrar will enter Austraclear in the Register as the Holder of those Capital Notes. While those Capital Notes remain in the Austraclear System, all dealings (including transfers and payments) in relation to those Capital Notes within the Austraclear System will be governed by the regulations for the Austraclear System (but without affecting any Term which may cause APRA to object to the Suncorp Group using or having used the proceeds of the Capital Notes to fund Additional Tier 1 Capital of a Regulated Entity within the Suncorp Group).

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(b) Where Austraclear is recorded in the Register as the Holder, each person in whose Security Record (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) a Capital Note is recorded is deemed to acknowledge in favour of the Registrar and Austraclear that:

(i) the Registrar's decision to act as the Registrar of the Capital Note does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to the Capital Note but only indicates that such Capital Note is considered by the Registrar to be compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under its agreement with the Issuer to act as Registrar of the Capital Note; and

(ii) the Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to clause 11.6(b)(i).

11.7 Transfers in whole

Capital Notes may be transferred in whole but not in part.

11.8 Transfer

(a) Where Capital Notes are not lodged in the Austraclear System, subject to clause 11.9, all applications to transfer Capital Notes must be made by lodging with the Registrar a properly completed transfer and acceptance form in the form approved by the Issuer and the Registrar signed by both the transferor and the transferee. Transfer and acceptance forms are available from any Registry Office.

(b) Capital Notes lodged in the Austraclear System will be transferable only in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations.

11.9 Limit on Transfer

(a) The Capital Notes may only be transferred pursuant to offers received in Australia if:

(i) the aggregate consideration payable at the time of transfer is at least A$500,000 (or its equivalent in an alternative currency, and in either case, disregarding moneys lent by the transferor or its associates) or the Capital Notes are otherwise transferred in a manner which does not require disclosure in accordance with Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9 of the Corporations Act; and

(ii) the transfer does not constitute an offer to a "retail client" as defined for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act.

(b) Capital Notes may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place and the transfer of the Capital Notes otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place.

11.10 Austraclear Services Limited as Registrar

If Austraclear Services Limited is the Registrar and Capital Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, despite any other provision of these Terms, those Capital Notes are not transferable on the Register, and the Issuer may not, and must procure that the Registrar does not, register any transfer of those Capital Notes issued by it and no member of the Austraclear System has the right to request any registration of any transfer of the relevant Capital Notes, except:

(a) for the purposes of any Conversion, Write-Off, Redemption or repurchase or cancellation of the relevant Capital Note, a transfer of the relevant Capital Note from Austraclear to the Issuer may be entered in the Register; and

(b) if Austraclear exercises or purports to exercise any power it may have under the Austraclear Regulations from time to time for the Austraclear System or these Terms, to require the relevant Capital Note to be transferred on the Register to a member of the Austraclear System,

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


the relevant Capital Note may be transferred on the Register from Austraclear to the member of the Austraclear System.

In any of these cases, the relevant Capital Note will cease to be held in the Austraclear System.

11.11 Delivery of instrument

If an instrument is used to transfer Capital Notes according to clause 11.8, it must be delivered to the Registrar, together with such evidence (if any) as the Registrar reasonably requires to prove the title of the transferor to, or right of the transferor to transfer, the Capital Notes.

11.12 Refusal to register

The Issuer may only refuse to register a transfer of any Capital Notes if such registration would contravene or is forbidden by any applicable law, Austraclear Regulations or the Terms.

If the Issuer refuses to register a transfer, the Issuer must give the lodging party notice of the refusal and the reasons for it within five Business Days after the date on which the transfer was delivered to the Registrar.

11.13 Transferor to remain Holder until registration

A transferor of a Capital Note remains the Holder in respect of that Capital Note until the transfer is registered and the name of the transferee is entered in the Register.

11.14 Effect of transfer

Upon registration and entry of the transferee in the Register the transferor ceases to be entitled to future benefits under the Deed Poll in respect of the transferred Capital Notes and the transferee becomes so entitled in accordance with clause 11.2.

11.15 Estates

A person becoming entitled to a Capital Note as a consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Holder or of a vesting order or a person administering the estate of a Holder may, upon producing such evidence as to that entitlement or status as the Registrar considers sufficient, transfer the Capital Note or, if so entitled, become registered as the holder of the Capital Note.

11.16 Unincorporated associations

A transfer to an unincorporated association is not permitted.

11.17 Transfer of unidentified Capital Notes

Where the transferor executes a transfer of less than all Capital Notes registered in its name, and the specific Capital Notes to be transferred are not identified, the Registrar may register the transfer in respect of such of the Capital Notes registered in the name of the transferor as the Registrar thinks fit, provided the aggregate of the Issue Price of all the Capital Notes registered as having been transferred equals the aggregate of the Issue Price of all the Capital Notes expressed to be transferred in the transfer.

12. Payments

12.1 Summary of payment provisions

Payments in respect of Capital Notes will be made in accordance with this clause 12.

12.2 Payments subject to law

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

12.3 Payments on Business Days

If a payment:

(a) is due on a Capital Note on a day which is not a Business Day then the date scheduled for payment will be adjusted by the applicable Business Day Convention specified in the Pricing Supplement; or

Nothing in this clause applies to any payment referred to in clause 9.1(b), which occurs on the Trigger Event Date as provided in clause 9.1.

12.6 Payments by cheque

The Issuer may decide that payments in respect of the Capital Note will be made by cheque sent by prepaid post on the payment date, at the risk of the registered Holder, to the Holder (or to the first named joint holder of the Capital Note) at its address appearing in the Register at the close of business on the Record Date. Cheques sent to the nominated address of a Holder will be taken to have been received by the Holder on the payment date and, no further amount will be payable by the Issuer in respect of the Capital Notes as a result of the Holder not receiving payment on the date scheduled for payment.

12.7 Unsuccessful attempts to pay

Subject to applicable law, where the Issuer:

(a) decides that an amount is to be paid to a Holder by a method of direct credit and the Holder has not given a direction as to where amounts are to be paid by that method;

(b) attempts to pay an amount to a Holder by direct credit, electronic transfer of funds or any other means and the transfer is unsuccessful;

(c) has made reasonable efforts to locate a Holder but is unable to do so; or

(d) has issued a cheque which has not been presented within six months of its date, then the Issuer may cancel such cheque,

then, in each case, the amount is to be held by the Issuer for the Holder in a non-interest bearing deposit with a bank selected by the Issuer until the Holder or any legal personal representative of the Holder claims the amount or the amount is paid by the Issuer according to the legislation relating to unclaimed moneys.

12.8 Payment to joint Holders

A payment to any one of joint Holders will discharge the Issuer's liability in respect of the payment.

If any such deduction has been made and the amount of the deduction accounted for by the Issuer to the relevant revenue authority and the balance of the amount payable has been paid to the relevant Holder, then the full amount payable to such Holder shall be deemed to have been duly paid and satisfied by the Issuer.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

2.3 Subordination in winding-up

The claims of Holders against the Issuer in respect of Subordinated Notes will, in a winding-up of the Issuer, be subordinated in right of payment to the claims of all Senior Ranking Creditors as provided in clause 9.

2.4 Not deposits, not insurance policies and not guaranteed

The Subordinated Notes are not:

(a) policies with any member of the Suncorp Group or any Related Entity of the Issuer for the purposes of the Insurance Act nor protected policies for the purposes of the financial claims scheme established under Part VC of the Insurance Act; nor

(b) guaranteed or insured by the Australian government or under any compensation scheme of the Australian government, or by any other government, under any other compensation scheme or by any government agency or any other party.

2.5 Effect of Non-Viability Trigger Event

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, despite any other provision in these Terms, Subordinated Notes will be Converted into Ordinary Shares as provided in clause 6, or if clause 6.5 applies, Written-Off.

3. Interest

3.1 Interest

(a) Subordinated Notes may bear interest (Interest) at a fixed rate or a floating rate or a fixed-to-floating rate. The Pricing Supplement will specify which of clause 3.3 or 3.4 or 3.6 will be applicable to the Subordinated Notes.

(b) Each Subordinated Note bears Interest on its Outstanding Principal Amount from (and including) its Issue Date to (but excluding) its Maturity Date or any Early Redemption Date at the Interest Rate.

(c) Interest is payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date.

3.2 Interest Rate determination

The Interest Rate payable in respect of a Subordinated Note must be calculated by the Issuer in accordance with these Terms.

3.3 Calculation of Interest Rate on Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes

The Interest Rate applicable to a Fixed Rate Subordinated Note for each Interest Period is the rate specified in, or determined in accordance with the relevant Pricing Supplement, expressed as a percentage per annum.

3.4 Calculation of Interest Rate on Floating Rate Subordinated Notes

(a) The Interest Rate applicable to a Floating Rate Subordinated Note for each Interest Period is calculated according to the following formula (expressed as a percentage per annum):

$$ \text{Interest Rate} = \text{BBSW Rate} + \text{Margin} $$

BBSW Rate means, for an Interest Period, the rate for prime bank eligible securities having a tenor closest to the Interest Period which is designated as the "AVG MID" on the "Refinitiv Screen ASX29 Page" or "MID" rate on the "Bloomberg Screen BBSW Page" (or any designation which replaces that designation on the applicable page, or any replacement page) at the Publication Time on the first day of that Interest Period; and

Margin has the meaning given in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

(b) Each Holder shall be deemed to acknowledge, accept and agree to be bound by, and consents to, the determination of, substitution for and any adjustments made to the BBSW Rate as


described in this clause 3.4 and in clause 3.5 below (in all cases without the need for any Holder consent). Any determination, decision or election (including a decision to take or refrain from taking any action or as to the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or circumstance), and any substitution for and adjustments made to, the BBSW Rate, and in each case made in accordance with this clause 3.4 and in clause 3.5, will, in the absence of manifest or proven error, be conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the Holder and each Agent and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms or other documentation relating to the Subordinated Notes, shall become effective without the consent of any person.

(c) If the Calculation Agent is unwilling or unable to determine a necessary rate, adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology or other variable in order to calculate the applicable Interest Rate, such rate, adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology or other variable will be determined by the Issuer (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) or, an alternate financial institution (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) appointed by the Issuer (in its sole discretion) to so determine.

3.5 Applicable Benchmark Rate Fallback

If:

(a) a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred; or
(b) a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred,

then, subject to this clause 3.5, the BBSW Rate for an Interest Period, whilst such Temporary Disruption Trigger is continuing or after a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred, means (in the following order of application and precedence):

(i) if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, in the following order of precedence:

(A) first, the Administrator Recommended Rate;
(B) then the Supervisor Recommended Rate; and
(C) lastly, the Final Fallback Rate;

(ii) where a determination of the AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (i) above, if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for which AONIA is required will be the last provided or published level of AONIA;
(iii) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (i) or (ii) above, if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for which the RBA Recommended Rate is required will be the last rate provided or published by the Administrator of the RBA Recommended Rate (or if no such rate has been so provided or published, the last provided or published level of AONIA);
(iv) if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, the rate for any day for which the BBSW Rate is required on or after the Permanent Fallback Effective Date will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(A) first, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, no AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the AONIA Rate;
(B) then, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, an RBA Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended Fallback Rate; and

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(C) lastly, if neither paragraph (A) nor paragraph (B) above apply, the Final Fallback Rate;

(v) where a determination of the AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph 3.5(b)(iv)(A) above, if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for which AONIA is required on or after the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(A) first, if at the time of the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an RBA Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended Rate; and

(B) lastly, if paragraph (A) above does not apply, the Final Fallback Rate; and

(vi) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (iv) or (v) above, respectively, if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for which the RBA Recommended Rate is required on or after that Permanent Fallback Effective Date will be the Final Fallback Rate.

When calculating an amount of interest in circumstances where a Fallback Rate other than the Final Fallback Rate applies, that interest will be calculated as if references to the BBSW Rate or AONIA Rate (as applicable) were references to that Fallback Rate. When calculating interest in circumstances where the Final Fallback Rate applies, the amount of interest will be calculated on the same basis as if the Applicable Benchmark Rate in effect immediately prior to the application of that Final Fallback Rate remained in effect but with necessary adjustments to substitute all references to that Applicable Benchmark Rate with corresponding references to the Final Fallback Rate.

The application of any Fallback Rate, other than the Fallback Rate described in paragraph (b) of the definition of "Final Fallback Rate", is subject to the prior written approval of APRA, such approval to be sought in accordance with the order of precedence specified in this clause.

Holders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for any Fallback Rate it considers to have the effect of increasing the Interest Rate contrary to applicable prudential standards.

3.6 Calculation of Interest Rate on Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes

The Interest Rate in respect of Interest on a Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Note is the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) determined as:

(a) for the Fixed Rate Period, in accordance with clause 3.3 as if the Subordinated Note were a Fixed Rate Subordinated Note;

(b) for the Floating Rate Period, in accordance with clause 3.4 as if the Subordinated Note were a Floating Rate Subordinated Note.

3.7 Linear Interpolation

(a) If the Pricing Supplement states that "Linear Interpolation" applies to an Interest Period, the Interest Rate for that Interest Period is determined through the use of straight line interpolation by reference to two BBSW Rates, AONIA Rates or other floating rates specified in the Pricing Supplement.

(b) The first rate must be determined as if the Interest Period were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the length of the Interest Period (or any alternative Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).

(c) The second rate must be determined as if the Interest Period were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of the Interest Period (or any alternative Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


3.8 Cumulative Interest

Provided that a Subordinated Note has not been Redeemed, Converted or Written-Off:

(a) any amount of Interest which is not paid by virtue of clause 2.2(a), or payment of which is improperly withheld or refused when due and payable, accumulates and accrues Interest at the Interest Rate (as if it were the Outstanding Principal Amount) as provided in this clause 3; and

(b) any amounts not paid by virtue of clause 2.2(a), and any amount accumulating under this clause 3.8, remains a debt owing and is due and payable:

(i) in the case of Interest, on the first Interest Payment Date; and
(ii) in the case of any other amount, on the first date,

on which amounts may be paid in compliance with the Solvency Condition.

3.9 Optional deferral of interest

(a) If this clause 3.9 is specified as "Applicable" in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Issuer may, on any Optional Interest Payment Date, in its absolute discretion defer the payment of the interest on the Subordinated Notes which would otherwise be payable on such date.

(b) The Issuer shall notify the Holders as soon as practicable (and in any event within ten Business Days after any Optional Interest Payment Date in respect of which payment is deferred) of any Optional Interest Payment Date on which the Issuer elects to defer the payment of interest pursuant to this clause 3.9, but failure to give such notice (an Interest Deferral Notice) shall not prejudice the right of the Issuer not to pay interest pursuant to this clause 3.9.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, the failure to make any payment which for the time being is not made on the Subordinated Notes by virtue of clause 3.9(a) does not constitute a default on the part of the Issuer for any purpose (including, but without limitation, clause 8) and does not give any Holder the right to accelerate repayment of the Subordinated Notes.

3.10 Optional and compulsory payments of Arrears of Interest

(a) Any Arrears of Interest (together with any corresponding Additional Interest Amounts) may be paid in whole or in part at any time upon the expiry of not less than 14 days' notice to such effect given by the Issuer to the Holders in accordance with clause 16.1 (an Arrears of Interest Payment Notice).

(b) All Arrears of Interest (together with all corresponding Additional Interest Amounts) will, subject to the Solvency Condition being satisfied, automatically become immediately due and payable in whole upon the earliest of the following dates:

(i) the date on which any dividend or interest payment is paid or made on any Junior Ranking Instruments or Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments (other than any such payment on a Relevant Term Subordinated Instrument where the terms of that instrument do not enable the Issuer to defer, pass on or eliminate the relevant payment on such Relevant Term Subordinated Instrument);
(ii) the date on which the Issuer voluntarily redeems, purchases or acquires, or commences and does not abandon any public offer to voluntarily redeem, purchase or acquire, any Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments or Junior Ranking Instruments;
(iii) the date on which a Winding-Up Default occurs; or
(iv) the date fixed for any Redemption or Resale of the Subordinated Notes or the date fixed for any purchase of the Subordinated Notes by or on behalf of the Issuer or any member of the Suncorp Group pursuant to these Terms.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

3.11 Additional Interest Amounts

(a) Interest will accrue on each amount of Arrears of Interest at the Interest Rate from time to time applicable to the Subordinated Notes, and such amount of interest (the Additional Interest Amount) will become due and payable pursuant to clause 3.10 and shall be calculated by the Issuer by applying the Interest Rate from time to time applicable to the relevant Subordinated Notes to the amount of Arrears of Interest and multiplying the resulting product by the relevant Day Count Fraction.

(b) All Additional Interest Amounts accrue and are payable on the same basis as interest on a Subordinated Note, subject to deferral on the same basis as interest under clause 3.9(a).

(c) All Additional Interest Amounts accrued up to any Interest Payment Date and not paid on such Interest Payment Date shall be added, for the purpose only of calculating the Additional Interest Amounts accruing thereafter, to the amount of Arrears of Interest remaining unpaid on such Interest Payment Date.

4. General provisions applicable to Interest

4.1 Calculation of Interest amount

The Issuer must, as soon as practicable after calculating the Interest Rate in relation to each Interest Period for each Subordinated Note, calculate the amount of Interest payable for the Interest Period in respect of the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note.

Subject to clause 4.5, the amount of Interest payable on each Subordinated Note for an Interest Period is calculated according to the following formula:

$$ \text{Interest payable} = \text{Interest Rate} \times \text{Outstanding Principal Amount} \times \text{Day Count Fraction} $$

4.2 Notification of Interest Rate, Interest payable and other items

(a) In relation to each Interest Period, the Issuer must procure that the Calculation Agent notifies the Registrar (where the Calculation Agent is not the Registrar) and the Holders of the Interest Rate and the amount of Interest payable on each Subordinated Note.

(b) The Issuer must give notice under this clause 4.2 (Interest Notice) as soon as practicable after it makes its calculations and, in any event, by no later than the fourth day of the relevant Interest Period.

(c) The Issuer may amend its calculation of any amount (or make appropriate alternative arrangements by way of adjustment) as a result of the extension or reduction of an Interest Period without prior notice, but must notify the Holders and the Registrar promptly after so doing.

4.3 Determination final

The determination by the Issuer of all amounts and rates to be calculated or determined by it under these Terms is, in the absence of manifest or proven error, final and binding on the Issuer, the Registrar and each Holder.

4.4 Calculations

For the purposes of any calculations required under these Terms:

(a) all percentages resulting from the calculations must be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest ten-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.00005% being rounded up to 0.0001%);

(b) all figures must be rounded to four decimal places (with 0.00005 being rounded up to 0.0001); and

(c) all amounts that are due and payable to a Holder in respect of the Holder's aggregate holding of Subordinated Notes of a Series must be rounded to the nearest one Australian cent (with 0.5 of a cent being rounded up to one cent).


AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

4.5 Broken periods

If an Interest amount is to be calculated in respect of Interest accruing on a Subordinated Note for a period other than an Interest Period, or in respect of the first Interest Period, such Interest shall be calculated by multiplying the Interest Rate applicable to the Subordinated Notes by the amount accruing Interest and multiplying the product by the Day Count Fraction in respect of that period.

4.6 Calculation of accrued Interest in other cases

Where under these Terms the day for payment of any accrued Interest is not an Interest Payment Date, the amount of that Interest will be calculated in accordance with clause 4 for the period from the last Interest Payment Date until the date for that payment.

5. Redemption, Resale and purchase

5.1 Scheduled Redemption

The Issuer shall Redeem each Subordinated Note on its Maturity Date by payment of its Outstanding Principal Amount (together with, pursuant to clause 4, any Interest, any Arrears of Interest and any Additional Interest Amounts accrued to (but excluding) the Maturity Date) unless:

(a) the Subordinated Note has been previously Redeemed or Resold;
(b) the Subordinated Note has been purchased by the Issuer and cancelled; or
(c) it has been Converted or Written-Off.

5.2 Early Redemption or Resale: Tax Event or Regulatory Event

If a Tax Event or Regulatory Event occurs in respect of a Series, the Issuer may, subject to clause 5.6, Redeem or Resell all (but not some) Subordinated Notes of that Series.

5.3 Early Redemption or Resale of a Subordinated Note at the option of the Issuer

Subject to clause 5.6, the Issuer may Redeem or Resell all or some of the Subordinated Notes of a Series on any Scheduled Optional Redemption or Resale Date in respect of the Subordinated Notes of that Series.

5.4 Amount payable on Early Redemption Date

Where a Subordinated Note is to be Redeemed early, the amount payable on the Early Redemption Date is its Outstanding Principal Amount (together with, pursuant to clause 4, any Interest, any Arrears of Interest and any Additional Interest Amounts accrued to (but excluding) the Early Redemption Date).

5.5 Partial Redemptions or Resales

(a) If only some of the Subordinated Notes of a Series are to be Redeemed or Resold under clause 5.3, the proportion of the Subordinated Notes of the Series that are to be Redeemed or Resold will be specified in the Early Redemption Notice given under clause 5.6(a) or the Resale Notice given under clause 5.6(a) as the case may be, and the Issuer will endeavour to treat Holders on an approximately proportionate basis.

(b) Subject to clause 5.5(a), where Subordinated Notes of a Series are to be Redeemed or Resold under clause 5.2 or clause 5.3, the Issuer may specify which of Redemption and Resale applies to a particular Subordinated Note. Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) the Issuer may select any one or more of Redemption or Resale to apply to the Subordinated Notes of a Series held by a Holder; and
(ii) the Issuer may select a different combination of Redemption and Resale in respect of Subordinated Notes of a Series held by different Holders, but otherwise the Issuer will endeavour to treat Holders on an approximately proportionate basis.

77


AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

5.6 Conditions to early Redemption or Resale

(a) The Issuer must give at least 15 Business Days' notice to the Registrar and the relevant Holders of any early Redemption of Subordinated Notes of a Series (Early Redemption Notice) or Resale of Subordinated Notes of a Series (Resale Notice) in accordance with this clause 5.

(b) An Early Redemption Notice or Resale Notice must be given in accordance with clause 16.1 and the Deed Poll and specify the Early Redemption Date or Resale Date, which must be a Business Day.

(c) The Issuer may only Redeem Subordinated Notes of a Series under clause 5.2 or 5.3 if either:

(i) prior to or concurrently with the Redemption, the Issuer replaces the Subordinated Notes of the Series with Relevant Subordinated Instruments or Ordinary Shares and the replacement is done under conditions that are sustainable for the income capacity of the Issuer; or

(ii) the Issuer obtains confirmation from APRA that APRA is satisfied, having regard to the capital position of the Suncorp Group, that the Issuer does not have to replace the Subordinated Notes of the Series.

(d) The Issuer may only Redeem or Resell Subordinated Notes under clause 5.2 or 5.3 if APRA has given its prior written approval of the Redemption or the Resale.

Holders should note that any approval is at APRA's discretion and may not be given.

5.7 Effect of Early Redemption Notice or Resale Notice

Any Early Redemption Notice or Resale Notice given under this clause 5 is irrevocable unless a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs after the giving of the Early Redemption Notice or Resale Notice, in which case, the Early Redemption Notice or Resale Notice (as the case may be) will be taken to be revoked immediately and automatically and clause 6 shall apply.

5.8 No Holder option for early Redemption or Resale

A Holder cannot require the Issuer or any other person to Redeem or Resell (or otherwise purchase) a Subordinated Note prior to the Maturity Date.

5.9 Late payment

If an amount is not paid under this clause 5 when due, then Interest continues to accrue on the unpaid amount (both before and after any demand or judgment) in accordance with clause 3.

5.10 Purchase

Subject to APRA's prior written approval, the Issuer or any member of the Suncorp Group may purchase in the open market or otherwise Subordinated Notes of any Series at any time and at any price. Any Subordinated Note purchased by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be cancelled.

Holders should note that any approval is at APRA's discretion and may not be given.

5.11 Resale mechanics

(a) If, subject to clause 5.6, the Issuer elects to Resell Subordinated Notes of a Series in accordance with these Terms, the provisions of this clause 5.11 shall apply to that Resale.

(b) The Issuer must appoint one or more Nominated Purchasers for the Resale on such terms as may be agreed between the Issuer and the Nominated Purchasers (including, without limitation, as to the conditions of any Resale and the procedures for settlement of such Resale). If the Issuer appoints more than one Nominated Purchaser in respect of a Resale, all or any of the Subordinated Notes of the Series held by a Holder which are being Resold may be purchased by any one or any combination of the Nominated Purchasers, as determined by the Issuer, for

78


the Resale Price. The obligation of a Nominated Purchaser to pay the Resale Price on the Resale Date may be subject to such conditions as the Issuer may reasonably determine.

(c) The Issuer may not appoint a person as a Nominated Purchaser unless that person:

(i) has undertaken on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Issuer reasonably determines for the benefit of each Holder to acquire each Subordinated Note the subject of the Resale Notice from the relevant Holder for the Resale Price on the Resale Date; and
(ii) is not a Related Entity of the Issuer.

(d) Each Holder on the Resale Date is taken irrevocably to offer to sell each Subordinated Note held by it which is the subject of a Resale Notice to the Nominated Purchaser or Nominated Purchasers on the Resale Date for the Resale Price.
(e) On the Resale Date, subject to (i) payment by the Nominated Purchaser of the Resale Price for such Subordinated Note to the relevant Holder and (ii) payment by the Issuer to the relevant Holder of any Interest, any Arrears of Interest and any Additional Interest Amounts accrued to (but excluding) the Resale Date, all right, title and interest in such Subordinated Note (excluding the right to any Interest payable on that date) will be transferred to the Nominated Purchaser free from encumbrance and the Issuer and the Nominated Purchaser may thereafter redeem or otherwise deal with the Subordinated Notes so transferred on the terms and at the times as agreed between them.
(f) If a Nominated Purchaser does not pay the Resale Price in respect of a Subordinated Note the subject of a Resale Notice to the Holder of that Subordinated Note on the Resale Date (a Defaulting Nominated Purchaser) (whether as a result of a condition to purchase not being satisfied or otherwise):

(i) the Resale Notice as it relates to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser and the relevant Subordinated Note will be void;
(ii) such Subordinated Note will not be transferred to the Defaulting Nominated Purchaser on the Resale Date; and
(iii) the relevant Holder will continue to hold the relevant Subordinated Note until such Subordinated Note is otherwise Redeemed, Converted or Resold in accordance with these Terms.

6. Conversion or Write-Off on Non-Viability Trigger Event

6.1 Non-Viability Trigger Event

A Non-Viability Trigger Event means APRA has provided a written determination to the Issuer that:

(a) the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write-off of Relevant Subordinated Instruments in accordance with their terms or by operation of law is necessary because without the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write-off, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable; or
(b) without a public sector injection of capital into, or equivalent support with respect to, the Issuer, APRA considers that the Issuer would become non-viable,

(such determination a Non-Viability Determination).

6.2 Conversion on Non-Viability Trigger Event

If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

(a) on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to clause 6.5, such number of Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert as is required by the Non-Viability Determination, provided that:

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(i) where such Non-Viability Determination is made on the grounds that, without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-viable, all Subordinated Notes must be Converted; and

(ii) where clause 6.2(a)(i) does not apply and such Non-Viability Determination does not require all Relevant Subordinated Instruments to be converted or written-off, such number of Subordinated Notes shall Convert as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with clause 6.2(b)) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off;

(b) in determining the number of Subordinated Notes which must be Converted:

(i) first, the Issuer will convert or write-off all Relevant Tier 1 Capital Instruments before Converting the Subordinated Notes;

(ii) second, if conversion or write-off of Relevant Tier 1 Capital Instruments is less than the amount sufficient to satisfy APRA that the Issuer 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 Tier 1 Capital Instruments), the Issuer will Convert some or all of the Subordinated Notes and the Issuer will convert or write-off other Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments in an aggregate amount which when added to the amount of Relevant Tier 1 Capital Instruments converted or written-off will satisfy APRA that the Issuer would not become non-viable; and

(iii) in Converting the relevant Subordinated Notes or converting or writing-off other Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments the Issuer will endeavour to treat Holders and holders of other Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments on an approximately pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of the Issuer, fair and reasonable (subject to such adjustment as the Issuer 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 Subordinated Notes or other Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments remaining on issue) and, for the purposes of this clause 6.2(b), where the specified currency of the outstanding principal amount of any Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments is not Australian dollars, the Issuer may, for the purposes of determining the outstanding principal amount that is to be converted or written-off, convert the outstanding principal amount into Australian dollars at such rate of exchange determined in accordance with the terms of such Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments or, if those terms do not specify a basis for determining such rate of exchange, at such rate of exchange as the Issuer in good faith considers reasonable;

(c) on the Trigger Event Date the Issuer must determine the Holders whose Subordinated Notes will be Converted at the time on that 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 Subordinated Notes that have not been settled or registered at that time;

(d) the Issuer must give written notice of that event (a Trigger Event Notice) as soon as practicable to the Holders, which notice must specify:

(i) the Trigger Event Date;

(ii) the number of Subordinated Notes Converted; and

(iii) the relevant number of other Relevant Subordinated Instruments converted or written-off; and

(e) from the Trigger Event Date, but subject to clause 6.5 and clause 16.3(b), the Issuer shall treat the Holder in respect of the Subordinated Notes as the holder of the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares and will take all such steps, including updating any of its registers, required to record the Conversion.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


6.3 Immediacy of Conversion

A Non-Viability Determination takes effect, and the Issuer must perform the obligations in respect of the determination, immediately on the day it is received by the Issuer, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

None of the following shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion of Subordinated Notes as required by clause 6.2:

(a) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of any other Relevant Subordinated Instruments;

(b) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;

(c) any failure or delay in quotation of the Ordinary Shares to be issued on Conversion;

(d) any decision as to the identity of Holders whose Subordinated Notes are to be Converted in accordance with clause 6.2; or

(e) any requirement to select or adjust the amount of Subordinated Notes to be Converted in accordance with clause 6.2(b)(iii).

6.4 Priority of Conversion Obligations

A Conversion required on account of a Non-Viability Trigger Event takes place on the date, and in the manner, required by clause 6.2 (whether or not that day is a Business Day), notwithstanding anything in clause 5.

6.5 Write-Off where Conversion does not occur

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms, if for any reason (including, without limitation, an Inability Event) Conversion of any Subordinated Notes which are required to be Converted under this clause 6 does not occur within 5 Business Days of the Trigger Event Date, then Conversion of those Subordinated Notes will not occur and those Subordinated Notes shall be Written-Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date.

(b) In this clause 6.5, Written-Off means, in respect of a Subordinated Note and a Trigger Event Date:

(i) the Subordinated Note that is otherwise subject to Conversion will not be Converted on the Trigger Event Date and will not be Converted, Redeemed or Resold under these Terms on any subsequent date; and

(ii) the relevant Holder's rights (including to payment of Interest, any Arrears of Interest and any Additional Interest Amounts and payment of Outstanding Principal Amount and to be issued with the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares) in relation to such Subordinated Notes are immediately and irrevocably written-off and terminated (whether or not that day is a Business Day), and Write-Off has a corresponding meaning.

(c) The Issuer must give notice to Holders if Conversion has not occurred (Write-Off Notice) by operation of this clause 6.5 but failure to give that notice shall not affect the operation of this clause 6.5.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


  1. Conversion Mechanics

7.1 Conversion

On a Trigger Event Date, subject to clauses 6.5 and 7.11, the following shall occur:

(a) The Issuer shall allot and issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to the Holders for each Subordinated Note held by the Holder which is required to be Converted.

The Conversion Number will be calculated by the Issuer in accordance with the following formula:

$$
Conversion\ Number = \frac{Face\ Value}{99\% \times VWAP}
$$

subject always to the Conversion Number being no greater than the Maximum Conversion Number. where:

VWAP (expressed in dollars and cents) means the VWAP during the VWAP Period; and

Maximum Conversion Number means a number calculated according to the following formula:

$$
Maximum\ Conversion\ Number = \frac{Face\ Value}{0.2 \times Issue\ Date\ VWAP}
$$

(b) Each Holder's rights (including to Interest) in relation to each Subordinated Note that is being Converted as determined in accordance with clauses 6.1 and 6.2(b) will be immediately and irrevocably terminated in full for an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount and the Issuer will apply the Outstanding Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note by way of payment for the subscription for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued under clause 7.1(a). Each Holder is taken to have irrevocably directed that any amount payable under this clause 7.1 is to be applied as provided for in this clause 7.1 and Holders do not have any right to payment in any other way.

(c) If the total number of Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued in respect of a Holder's aggregate holding of Subordinated Notes that is being Converted includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share, that fraction of an Ordinary Share will be disregarded.

(d) The rights attaching to Ordinary Shares issued as a result of Conversion do not take effect until the time at which such Conversion occurs on the Trigger Event Date.

(e) Subject to clause 7.11, where Subordinated Notes are Converted, the Issuer will allot and issue the Ordinary Shares to the Holder on the basis of the information provided under clause 7.10.

7.2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP under clause 7.1:

(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 Subordinated Notes will be Converted into Ordinary Shares after that date and those Ordinary Shares will no longer carry that dividend or that 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 will be reduced by an amount (Cum Value) equal to:

(i) (in the case of a dividend or other distribution), the amount of that dividend or other distribution including, if the dividend or distribution is franked, the amount that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the dividend or distribution who is a natural person resident in Australia under the Tax Legislation;

(ii) (in the case of any entitlement that is not a dividend or other distribution for which adjustment is made under clause 7.2(a)(i) which is traded on ASX on any of those Business Days), the volume weighted average price of all such entitlements sold on ASX during the VWAP Period on the Business Days on which those entitlements were

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


traded (excluding trades of the kind that would be excluded in determining VWAP under the definition of that term); or

(iii) (in the case of other entitlements which is not traded on ASX during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement as reasonably determined by the Issuer; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares have been quoted as ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement, and Subordinated Notes will be Converted into Ordinary Shares which would be entitled to receive the relevant dividend, distribution or entitlement, the VWAP on the Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement will be increased by the Cum Value.

7.3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change to the number of Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a Reorganisation, in calculating the VWAP for that VWAP Period, the daily VWAP for each day in the VWAP Period which falls before the date on which trading in Ordinary Shares is conducted on a post Reorganisation basis shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the following formula:

A

B where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the Reorganisation.

7.4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP under clause 7.1, adjustments to the VWAP will be made by the Issuer in accordance with clauses 7.2 and 7.3 during the VWAP Period for the Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date, adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made by the Issuer in accordance with clauses 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7; and
(b) if so made, will cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

7.5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for bonus issues

(a) Subject to clauses 7.5(b) and 7.5(c), if the Issuer makes a pro-rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to holders of Ordinary Shares generally (in a manner not involving any cash payment to or by holders of Ordinary Shares), the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted immediately in accordance with the following formula:

$$V = \frac{\text{Vo} \times \text{RD}}{\text{RD} + \text{RN}}$$ where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application of this formula;

Vo means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately prior to the application of this formula;

RD means the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately prior to the allotment of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the bonus issue; and

RN means the number of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the bonus issue.

(b) Clause 7.5(a) does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued as part of a bonus share plan, employee or executive share plan, executive option plan, share top up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend reinvestment plan.

(c) For the purposes of this clause 7.5, an issue will be regarded as a bonus issue notwithstanding that the Issuer does not make offers to some or all holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside Australia, where the issue on such terms is in compliance with the ASX Listing Rules.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this clause 7.5 for any offer of Ordinary Shares not covered by clause 7.5(a), including a rights issue or other essentially pro rata issue.

(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of Ordinary Shares except as covered by clause 7.5(a) shall not in any way restrict the Issuer from issuing Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit nor be taken to constitute a modification or variation of rights or privileges of Holders or otherwise requiring any consent or concurrence of the Holders.

7.6 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date there is a change to the number of Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a Reorganisation, the Issuer shall adjust the Issue Date VWAP by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP applicable on the Business Day immediately before the date of any such Reorganisation by the following formula:

A
B where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately before the Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after the Reorganisation.

(b) Each Holder acknowledges that the Issuer may consolidate, divide or reclassify securities so that there is a lesser or greater number of Ordinary Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action constituting a modification or variation of rights or privileges of Holders or otherwise requiring any consent or concurrence.

7.7 No adjustment to Issue Date VWAP in certain circumstances

Despite the provisions of clauses 7.5 and 7.6, no adjustment will be made to the Issue Date VWAP where any such adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less than one per cent of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

7.8 Certain provisions relating to adjustments

(a) The Issuer will notify Holders (an Adjustment Notice) of any adjustment to the Issue Date VWAP under this clause 7 within 10 Business Days of the Issuer determining the adjustment.

(b) Any adjustment to the VWAP or Issue Date VWAP in accordance with this clause 7 will be effective and binding on Holders under these Terms and these Terms will be construed accordingly.

7.9 Status and listing of Ordinary Shares

(a) The Issuer agrees that Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion will rank equally with all other fully paid Ordinary Shares.

(b) The Issuer agrees to use all reasonable endeavours to list the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion on ASX. Holders of the Subordinated Notes are deemed to agree not to trade Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion (except as permitted by the Corporations Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules) until the Issuer has taken such steps as are required by the Corporations Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules for the shares to be freely tradeable without such further disclosure or other action and agrees to allow the Issuer to impose a holding lock or refuse to register a transfer in respect of Ordinary Shares until such time. If applicable, the Issuer will promptly notify Holders when this restriction on trading ceases to apply.

(b) the security account details in CHESS or such other account to which the Ordinary Shares may be credited; and

(c) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the purposes of enabling it to issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to such Holder.

(ii) the Holder is an Ineligible Holder;

(iii) for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the Holder), the Issuer has not received the information required by clause 7.10 prior to the Trigger Event Date and the lack of such information would prevent the Issuer from issuing the Ordinary Shares to the Holder on the Trigger Event Date; or

(iv) FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon Conversion,

then, on the Trigger Event Date, the Holder's rights (including to payments of Interest or Additional Amounts, and the repayment of principal) in relation to each such Subordinated Note being Converted are immediately and irrevocably terminated and the Issuer will issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to one or more Nominees for no additional consideration and on terms that at the first opportunity the Nominee will sell the Ordinary Shares at market value and pay the Proceeds to the relevant Holder or, in the case of a FATCA Withholding, will deal with the Ordinary Shares and any proceeds of sale as required by FATCA and pursuant to clause 12.4.

(b) In the case of a Conversion under clause 6 only, if the Conversion of Subordinated Notes to which this clause 7.11 applies fails to take effect within five Business Days of the Trigger Event Date, then the Holder's rights will be immediately and irrevocably terminated in accordance with clause 6.5.

(c) The Issuer has no liability to a Holder for the acts of any Nominee appointed to sell the Ordinary Shares under this clause 7.11 and has no, nor owes any, duties in connection with any such sale and has no responsibility for any costs, losses, liabilities, expenses, demands or claims which arise as a result of such sale.

7.12 Power of attorney

(a) Each Holder appoints each of the Issuer, its officers and any External Administrator of the Issuer (each an Attorney) severally to be the attorney of the Holder with power in the name and on behalf of the Holder to sign all documents and transfers and do any other thing as may in the Attorney's opinion be necessary or desirable to be done in order for the Holder to observe or perform the Holder's obligations under these Terms including, but not limited to, effecting any transfers of the Subordinated Notes, Conversion, Write-Off, Redemption or

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Resale, making any entry in the Register or the register of any Ordinary Shares or exercising any voting power in relation to any consent or approval required for Conversion, Write-Off, Redemption or Resale.

(b) The power of attorney given in this clause 7.12 is given for valuable consideration and to secure the performance by the Holder of the Holder's obligations under these Terms and is irrevocable.

7.13 No right of Holders to request Conversion

No Subordinated Notes can, or will be, Converted at the option of a Holder.

  1. Winding-up and Subordination

9.1 Winding-up

In a winding-up of the Issuer in any jurisdiction, a claim by a Holder, or any other person on behalf of the Holder, for an amount owing by the Issuer in connection with a Subordinated Note, is subordinated to the claims of Senior Ranking Creditors in that:

(a) all claims of Senior Ranking Creditors must be paid in full before the Holder's claim is paid; and

(b) until the Senior Ranking Creditors have been paid in full, the Holder must not claim in the winding-up in competition with the Senior Ranking Creditors so as to diminish any distribution, dividend or payment which, but for that claim, the Senior Ranking Creditors would have been entitled to receive.

9.4 Further issues

The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of Holders, issue further Subordinated Notes having the same Terms as the Subordinated Notes of any Series in all respects (or in all respects except for the Issue Price, Issue Date and the first Interest Payment Date and Interest Commencement Date) so as to form a single Series with the Subordinated Notes of that Series, provided that the requirements of APRA that the Subordinated Notes be eligible to fund Tier 2 Capital of a Regulated Entity within the Suncorp Group are met. References in these Terms to the Subordinated Notes include (unless the context requires otherwise) any other Subordinated Notes issued pursuant to this clause 9.4 and forming a single Series with the Subordinated Notes.

10.1 Title

Title to Subordinated Notes passes when details of the transfer are entered in the Register.

(a) an unconditional and irrevocable undertaking by the Issuer to the Holder to pay principal, Interest and any other amount subject to, and in accordance with, these Terms;
(b) an entitlement to the other benefits given to Holders under these Terms and the Deed Poll in respect of the Subordinated Note; and

(b) No notice of any trust, Encumbrance or other interest in, or claim to any Subordinated Note will be entered in the Register.

10.6 Austraclear

(a) If Subordinated Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, the Registrar will enter Austraclear in the Register as the Holder of those Subordinated Notes. While those Subordinated Notes remain in the Austraclear System, all dealings (including transfers and payments) in relation to


those Subordinated Notes within the Austraclear System will be governed by the regulations for the Austraclear System (but without affecting any Term which may cause APRA to object to the Suncorp Group using or having used the proceeds of the Subordinated Notes to fund Tier 2 Capital of a Regulated Entity within the Suncorp Group).

(b) Where Austraclear is recorded in the Register as the Holder, each person in whose Security Record (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) a Subordinated Note is recorded is deemed to acknowledge in favour of the Registrar and Austraclear that:

(i) the Registrar's decision to act as the Registrar of the Subordinated Note does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to the Subordinated Note but only indicates that such Subordinated Note is considered by the Registrar to be compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under its agreement with the Issuer to act as Registrar of the Subordinated Note; and

(ii) the Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to clause 10.6(b)(i).

(ii) the transfer does not constitute an offer to a "retail client" as defined for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act.

(b) Subordinated Notes may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place and the transfer of the Subordinated Notes otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place.

10.10 Austraclear Services Limited as Registrar

A person becoming entitled to a Subordinated Note as a consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Holder or of a vesting order or a person administering the estate of a Holder may, upon producing such evidence as to that entitlement or status as the Registrar considers sufficient, transfer the Subordinated Note or, if so entitled, become registered as the holder of the Subordinated Note.

10.16 Unincorporated associations

A transfer to an unincorporated association is not permitted.

10.17 Transfer of unidentified Subordinated Notes

Where the transferor executes a transfer of less than all Subordinated Notes registered in its name, and the specific Subordinated Notes to be transferred are not identified, the Registrar may register the transfer in respect of such of the Subordinated Notes registered in the name of the transferor as the Registrar thinks fit, provided the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all the Subordinated Notes registered as having been transferred equals the aggregate of the Outstanding Principal Amount of all the Subordinated Notes expressed to be transferred in the transfer.

Cheques sent to the nominated address of a Holder will be taken to have been received by the Holder on the payment date and, no further amount will be payable by the Issuer in respect of the Subordinated Notes as a result of the Holder not receiving payment on the due date.

11.8 Unsuccessful attempts to pay

Subject to applicable law, where the Issuer:

(a) decides that an amount is to be paid to a Holder by a method of direct credit and the Holder has not given a direction as to where amounts are to be paid by that method;

Subject to clause 12.3, if a law requires the Issuer to withhold or deduct an amount in respect of Taxes from a payment in respect of the Subordinated Notes such that the Holder would not actually receive on the due date the full amount provided for under the Subordinated Notes, then:

(a) the Issuer agrees to deduct the amount for the Taxes (and any further withholding or deduction applicable to any further payment due under paragraph (b) below); and
(b) if the amount deducted or withheld is in respect of Taxes imposed within Australia, an additional amount is payable so that, after making the deduction and further deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this clause 12.2, each Holder is entitled to receive (at the time the payment is due) the amount it would have received if no deductions or withholdings had been required to be made.

12.3 Withholding tax exemptions

No Additional Amounts are payable under clause 12.2(b) in respect of any Subordinated Note:

(a) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who is liable to such Taxes in respect of such Subordinated Note by reason of the person having some connection with Australia other than the mere holding of such Subordinated Note or receipt of payment in respect of the Subordinated Note provided that a Holder shall not be regarded as having a connection with Australia for the reason that the Holder is a resident of Australia within the meaning of the Tax Legislation where, and to the extent that, such taxes are payable by reason of section 128B(2A) of the Tax Legislation;
(b) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder who could lawfully avoid (but has not so avoided) such Taxes by complying or procuring that any third party complies with any statutory requirements or by making or procuring that any third party makes a declaration of non-residence or similar case for exemption to any tax authority;
(c) in respect of which Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the Holder of the Subordinated Notes being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid such Taxes, being a scheme to which the Issuer was neither a party to nor participated in;

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

(f) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Holder in a case where the Issuer receives a notice or direction under Section 255 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth), Section 260-5 of Schedule 1 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth) or any analogous provision which requires an amount to be paid, withheld or deducted from amounts payable to the Holder by the Issuer in compliance with such notice or direction.

12.4 FATCA

Notwithstanding any other provision of this deed (including, for the avoidance of doubt, this clause 12), the Issuer may withhold or make deductions from any payment in respect of the Subordinated Notes or from the issue of Ordinary Shares to a Holder where such withholding or deduction is made under or in connection with, or in order to ensure compliance with FATCA, or where it has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Holder or a beneficial owner of Subordinated Notes may be subject to FATCA, and may deal with such payment, and any Ordinary Shares in accordance with FATCA. If any withholding or deduction arises under or in connection with, or in order to ensure compliance with FATCA, the Issuer will not be required to pay any Additional Amounts or other amounts and the Issuer will not be required to issue any further Ordinary Shares on account of such withholding or deduction or otherwise reimburse or compensate, or make any payment to, a Holder or a beneficial owner of Subordinated Notes for or in respect of any such withholding or deduction.

(c) The Meeting Provisions also contain provisions for the passing of resolutions by writing signed by defined majorities of Holders.

13.3 Resolutions binding

Any resolution passed at any meeting of the Holders or by writing, in each case, in accordance with the Meeting Provisions, is binding on Holders of Subordinated Notes of the relevant Series, whether or not they are present at the meeting.

Each Holder by acquiring a Subordinated Note agrees that:

(a) where either of the following occurs:

(A) the bidder has at any time during the offer period, a relevant interest in more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares in issue; or

(B) the Directors issue a statement that at least a majority of the directors of the Issuer who are eligible to do so have recommended acceptance of such offer (in the absence of a higher offer); or

(ii) a court orders the holding of meetings to approve a scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act, which scheme would result in a person having a relevant interest in more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares that will be in issue after the scheme is implemented and:

(A) all classes of members of the Issuer pass all resolutions required to approve the scheme by the majorities required under the Corporations Act, to approve the scheme; and

(B) all conditions to the implementation of the scheme, including any necessary regulatory or shareholder approvals (but not including approval of the scheme by the court), have been satisfied or waived,

(each an Acquisition Event); and

(b) the bidder (or its ultimate holding company) or the person having a relevant interest in the Ordinary Shares in the Issuer after the scheme is implemented (or any entity that Controls the bidder or the person having the relevant interest) is an Approved Acquirer, without the consent of the Holders (but with the prior written approval of APRA):

(c) the Issuer may amend the terms of the Subordinated Notes such that, unless APRA otherwise agrees, on any Trigger Event Date:

(i) each Subordinated Note that is being Converted in whole will be automatically transferred by each Holder free from encumbrance to the Approved Acquirer on the Trigger Event Date;

(ii) each Holder (or a Nominee in accordance with Clause 7.11, which provisions shall apply, subject to necessary changes, to such Approved Acquirer Ordinary Shares) of the Subordinated Note being Converted will be issued a number of Approved Acquirer Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Number and the Conversion mechanics that would have otherwise been applicable to the determination of the number of Ordinary Shares shall apply (with any necessary changes) to the determination of the number of such Approved Acquirer Ordinary Shares; and

(iii) as between the Issuer and the Approved Acquirer, each Subordinated Note held by the Approved Acquirer as a result of the transfer will be automatically Converted into a number of Ordinary Shares the aggregate market value of which equals the prevailing principal amount of that Subordinated Note (determined on the basis as set out in clause 7 using a VWAP calculated on the basis of the last period of 5 Business Days on which trading in Ordinary Shares took place preceding, but not including, the Trigger Event Date (whether such period occurred before or after the Acquisition Event occurred) and subject in all cases to the Maximum Conversion Number); and

96


(d) the Issuer may make such other amendments as in the Issuer's reasonable opinion are necessary and appropriate in order to effect the substitution of an Approved Acquirer as the issuer of the ordinary shares to be delivered upon Conversion in the manner contemplated by these Terms and consistent with the requirements of APRA in relation to Tier 2 Capital, including, without limitation:

(i) to any one or more of the definitions of "Conversion," "Inability Event", "Junior Ranking Instruments," "Ordinary Shares", "Relevant Subordinated Instruments", "Relevant Tier 1 Capital Instruments", "Relevant Term Subordinated Instruments" and "Non-Viability Trigger Event" and to the procedures relating to Conversion and Write-Off as contemplated in these Terms to reflect the identity of the Approved Acquirer as the issuer of the ordinary shares to be delivered upon Conversion;

(ii) to cause any necessary adjustment to be made to the Maximum Conversion Number and to any relevant VWAP or Issue Date VWAP consistent with the principles of adjustment set out in clause 7; and

(iii) to these Terms such that any right of Holders to require delivery of ordinary shares of the Approved Acquirer is consistent with the limited right of Holders to require delivery of Ordinary Shares following a Conversion as set out in these Terms.

15.2 Further substitution

After a substitution, as described in this clause 15, the Approved Acquirer may without the authority, approval or assent of the Holder of Subordinated Notes, effect a further substitution as described in this clause (with necessary changes).

A Holder has no right:

(a) to require the Issuer to make any such amendment or to effect any such substitution; or

15.4 No right or remedy against the Issuer

If an Acquisition Event occurs and the Issuer does not make any such amendment or substitution prior to the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Holders will remain entitled to Ordinary Shares in the Issuer upon Conversion, calculated on the basis of the VWAP for the five Business Days on which trading in Ordinary Shares last took place (subject to clause 6.5) and Holders shall have no right or remedy against the Issuer on account of such Acquisition Event occurring or as a result of any subsequent inability to adjust the VWAP.

SELLING RESTRICTIONS

Under the Dealer Agreement dated on or about 24 April 2026 between the Issuer, the Arranger and the Dealers (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the Dealer Agreement) and subject to the Terms contained in the Information Memorandum, the Notes will be offered by the Issuer through the Dealers. The Issuer has the sole right to accept any offer to purchase Notes and may reject that offer in whole or (subject to the terms of the offer) in part. Each Dealer has the right to reject any offer to purchase Notes made to it in whole or (subject to the terms of such offer) in part. The Issuer is entitled under the Dealer Agreement to appoint one or more financial institutions as a Dealer for a particular Tranche of Notes or the Programme generally. At the time of any appointment, each such financial institution will be required to represent and agree to the selling restrictions applicable at that time.

Each Dealer has agreed and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree to comply with any applicable law, regulation or directive in any jurisdiction in which it subscribes for, offers, sells or transfers Notes and that it will not, directly or indirectly, subscribe for, offer, sell or transfer Notes or distribute any Information Memorandum or other offering material in relation to the Notes, in any jurisdiction, except in accordance with these selling restrictions, any additional restrictions which are set out in the Pricing Supplement and any applicable law, regulation or directive of that jurisdiction.

None of the Issuer, the Arranger or any Dealer has represented that any Notes may at any time lawfully be offered or sold, or that this Information Memorandum may be distributed, in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any jurisdiction, or in accordance with any available exemption, or assumes any responsibility for facilitating that sale or distribution.

The following selling and distribution restrictions apply.

1. General

No action has been taken in any jurisdiction that would permit a public offering of any of the Notes, or possession or distribution of the Information Memorandum or any other offering material or any Pricing Supplement in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

Persons into whose hands this Information Memorandum comes are required by the Issuer, the Arranger and the Dealers to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and directives in each country or jurisdiction in which they purchase, offer, sell, resell, reoffer or deliver Notes or have in their possession or distribute or publish the Information Memorandum or other offering material and to obtain any authorisation, consent, approval or permission required by them for the purchase, offer, sale, reoffer, resale or delivery by them of any Notes under any applicable law, regulation or directive in force in any jurisdiction to which they are subject or in which they make such purchases, offers, sales, reoffers, resales or deliveries, in all cases at their own expense, and neither the Issuer nor the Arranger or any Dealer has responsibility for such matters. In accordance with the above, any Notes purchased by any person which it wishes to offer for sale or resale may not be offered in any jurisdiction in circumstances which would result in the Issuer being obliged to register any further prospectus or corresponding document relating to the Notes in such jurisdiction.

In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Information Memorandum and the offer or sale of Notes in Australia, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore as set out below.

2. Australia

No prospectus or other disclosure document (as defined in the Corporations Act) in relation to the Programme or any Notes has been, or will be, lodged with ASIC or the Australian Securities Exchange operated by ASX Limited (ASX). Each Dealer has represented and agreed, and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree, that unless the relevant Pricing Supplement (or another supplement to this Information Memorandum) otherwise provides, it:

(a) has not (directly or indirectly) made or invited, and will not make or invite, an offer of the Notes for issue or sale in Australia (including an offer or invitation which is received by a person in Australia); and

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


(b) has not distributed or published, and will not distribute or publish, any Information Memorandum or any other offering material or advertisement relating to any Notes in, or into, Australia,

unless:

(i) the aggregate consideration payable by each offeree is at least A$500,000 (or its equivalent in an alternative currency and, in either case, disregarding moneys lent by the offeror or its associates) or the offer or invitation does not otherwise require disclosure to investors under Parts 6D.2 or 7.9 of the Corporations Act;
(ii) the offer or invitation does not constitute an offer to a "retail client" as defined for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act;
(iii) such action complies with any other applicable laws, regulations or directives in Australia; and
(iv) such action does not require any document to be lodged with ASIC or the ASX Limited or any other regulatory authority in Australia.

3. The United States of America

The Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S or in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

Each Dealer has represented and agreed, and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree, that it, its affiliates and any person acting on its or their behalf will not offer or sell the Notes constituting part of its allotment within the United States, or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, or engage in "directed selling efforts" (as such term is defined in Regulation S):

(a) as part of its distribution at any time; and
(b) otherwise until 40 days after completion of the distribution, as determined and certified by the relevant Dealer or, in the case of an issue of Notes on a syndicated basis, the joint lead manager,

except in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S.

Each Dealer has represented and agreed, and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree, that it will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Notes from it during the distribution compliance period a confirmation or other notice substantially to the following effect:

"The Notes covered hereby have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of such Dealer's distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the completion of the distribution of the Tranche of Notes of which such Notes are a part, except in either case in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S."

Until 40 days after the completion of the distribution of all Notes of the Tranche of which those Notes are a part, an offer or sale of Notes within the United States by any Dealer acting in relation to that Tranche or other distributor (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an applicable exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act.

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24

AUSTRALIAN TAXATION

The following is a summary of the withholding tax treatment under the Income Tax Assessment Acts of 1936 and 1997 of Australia (together, Australian Tax Act), at the date of this Information Memorandum, of payments of interest (as defined in the Australian Tax Act) on the Notes to be issued by the Issuer under the Programme and certain other matters. A term used below but not otherwise defined has the meaning given to it in the relevant Terms.

It is not exhaustive and, in particular, does not deal with the position of certain classes of holders of Notes (including, without limitation, dealers in securities, custodians or other third parties who hold Notes on behalf of other persons).

Prospective holders of Notes should also be aware that particular terms of issue of any Series may affect the tax treatment of that and other Series of Notes. Information regarding taxes in respect of Notes may also be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular Noteholder. Prospective holders of Notes are urged to satisfy themselves as to the overall tax consequences of purchasing, holding and/or selling Notes and should consult their professional advisers on the tax implications of an investment in the Notes for their particular circumstances.

Subordinated Notes

This section contains a summary that applies to holders of Subordinated Notes that are:

  • residents of Australia for tax purposes that do not hold their Subordinated Notes in the course of carrying on a business outside of Australia, and non-residents of Australia for tax purposes that hold their Subordinated Notes in the course of carrying on a business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia (Australian Subordinated Noteholders); and
  • non-residents of Australia for tax purposes that do not hold their Subordinated Notes in the course of carrying on a business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia, and Australian tax residents that hold their Subordinated Notes in the course of carrying on a business outside of Australia (Non-Australian Subordinated Noteholders).

1. Interest withholding tax

The Australian Tax Act characterises securities as either "debt interests" (for all entities) or "equity interests" (for companies) including for the purposes of Australian interest withholding tax (IWT) and dividend withholding tax. The Issuer intends to issue Subordinated Notes which will be characterised as both "debt interests" and "debentures" for these purposes. If Subordinated Notes are issued which are not so characterised, further information on the material Australian tax consequences of payments of interest and certain other amounts on those Subordinated Notes will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement (or another relevant supplement to this Information Memorandum).

For Australian IWT purposes, "interest" is defined to include amounts in the nature of, or in substitution for, interest and certain other amounts.

There are specific rules that can apply to treat a portion of the purchase price of Subordinated Notes as interest for interest withholding tax purposes if the Subordinated Notes were originally issued at a discount, have a maturity premium or if they do not pay interest at least annually and they are acquired by an Australian Subordinated Noteholder. The rules do not apply if the deemed interest would have been exempt under section 128F of the 1936 Act if the Subordinated Notes had been held to maturity by a non-resident.

Australian Subordinated Noteholders

Payments of interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes to Australian Noteholders should not be subject to Australian IWT. See paragraph 4 below for other withholding taxes that may be applicable to Australian Noteholders.

Non-Australian Subordinated Noteholders

134


Australian IWT may be payable (currently at a rate of 10%) of the gross amount of interest paid by the Issuer to a Non-Australian Subordinated Noteholder, unless an exemption is available.

(a) Section 128F exemption from IWT

An exemption from Australian IWT is available if the requirements in section 128F of the Australian Tax Act are satisfied.

Unless otherwise specified in any relevant Pricing Supplement (or another relevant supplement to this Information Memorandum), the Issuer intends to issue the Subordinated Notes in a manner which will satisfy the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act.

In broad terms, the requirements are as follows:

(i) the Issuer is a company that is a resident of Australia when it issues those Subordinated Notes and when interest (as in the meaning of that term is extended by section 128A(1AB) of the Australian Tax Act) is paid;

(ii) the Subordinated Notes are issued in a manner which satisfies the public offer test in section 128F of the Australian Tax Act. In relation to the Subordinated Notes, there are five principal methods of satisfying the public offer test, the purpose of which is to ensure that lenders in capital markets are aware that the Issuer is offering those Subordinated Notes for issue. In summary, the five methods are:

  • offers to 10 or more unrelated financiers, securities dealers or entities that carry on the business of investing in securities;
  • offers to 100 or more investors of a certain type;
  • offers of listed Subordinated Notes;
  • offers via publicly available information sources; and
  • offers to a dealer, manager or underwriter who offers to sell those Subordinated Notes within 30 days by one of the preceding methods.

(iii) the Issuer does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, at the time of issue, that those Subordinated Notes or interests in those Subordinated Notes were being, or would later be, acquired, directly or indirectly, by an "associate" of the Issuer, except as permitted by section 128F(5) of the Australian Tax Act; and

(iv) at the time of the payment of interest, the Issuer does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that the payee is an "associate" of the Issuer, except as permitted by section 128F(6) of the Australian Tax Act.

The definition of "associate" used in the Australian Tax Act applies broadly and is complex. In summary (an non-exhaustively), an associate of the Issuer for the purposes of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act would include:

  • an entity which (alone or with others) holds more than 50% of the voting shares of, or otherwise sufficiently influences, the Issuer;
  • an entity in which more than 50% of the voting shares are held by, or which is otherwise sufficiently influenced by, the Issuer (alone or with other entities);

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


  • a trustee of a trust where the Issuer is capable of benefiting (whether directly or indirectly) under that trust; and
  • a person or entity who is an "associate" of another person or company which is an "associate" of the Issuer.

However, for the purposes of sections 128F(5) and (6) of the Australian Tax Act (see paragraphs (iii) and (iv) above), "associate" does not include:

(A) an Australian Subordinated Noteholder; or
(B) a Non-Australian Subordinated Noteholder that is acting in the capacity of:

(aa) in the case of section 128F(5), a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to the placement of the relevant Subordinated Notes, or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme (for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)); or
(bb) in the case of section 128F(6), a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme (for the purpose of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)).

(b) Other exemptions

The Australian government has signed new or amended double tax conventions (Specified Treaties) with a number of countries (each a Specified Country), which contain certain exemptions from IWT. The Specified Treaties apply to interest derived by a resident of a Specified Country.

In broad terms, the Specified Treaties effectively prevent IWT being imposed on interest derived by:

  • governments of the Specified Countries, and certain governmental authorities and agencies in a Specified Country; and / or
  • a "financial institution" which is a resident in a Specified Country and which is unrelated to and dealing wholly independently with the Issuer. The term "financial institution" refers to either a bank or other enterprise which substantially derives its profits by carrying on a business of raising and providing finance. However, interest paid under a back to back loan or an economically equivalent arrangement should not qualify for this exemption.

Whether an exemption is available depends on the terms of the Specified Treaty, Subordinated Noteholders should consult their own appropriate professional advisers as to whether any such exemptions from IWT are available in their particular circumstances.

(c) Payment of additional amounts

As set out in more detail in the Subordinated Note Terms, and unless expressly provided to the contrary in the relevant Pricing Supplement (or another relevant supplement to this Information Memorandum), if a law requires the Issuer to deduct or withhold an amount in respect of any Taxes (as defined in the Subordinated Note Terms) in respect of the Subordinated Notes, the Issuer must, subject to certain exceptions, pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order to ensure that each holder receives the amount it would have received if no deductions or withholdings had been required to be made.

  1. Income in respect of Subordinated Notes

Subordinated Noteholders will generally receive interest on the Subordinated Notes. Division 230 of the Australian Tax Act will apply to determine the tax treatment of "financial arrangements" for many Australian Subordinated Noteholders. The Subordinated Notes would be "financial arrangements". Division 230 sets out a number of methods that may be available to recognise the quantum and timing

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


of income (including interest) and deductions arising in relation to financial arrangements, including accruals, realisation, reliance on financial reports, fair value, foreign exchange retranslation and hedging. It also generally removes the distinction between capital and revenue by characterising gains or losses in respect of financial arrangements as being on revenue account.

Division 230 mandatorily applies to taxpayers (provided certain de minimis thresholds or other requirements are met or, if those thresholds or requirements are not met, the taxpayer elects for the regime to apply). However, individuals are generally excluded from the operation of Division 230 unless they elect for it to apply.

If Division 230 does not apply, interest derived by Australian Subordinated Noteholders will still ordinarily be required to be included in those noteholders' assessable income in determining their Australian taxable income.

Interest withholding tax is a final tax for non-residents. Therefore, non-resident noteholders who do not hold their Subordinated Notes in carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia and who either pay interest withholding tax or are exempt on one of the bases outlined above should not be required to lodge an income tax return in Australia merely because they receive interest on the Subordinated Notes.

Any interest paid to an Australian resident noteholder who holds Subordinated Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia to which interest withholding tax applies or which is exempted from interest withholding tax (as outlined above) may not be required to be included in such a noteholders' assessable income in determining their Australian taxable income.

3. Sale or redemption of Subordinated Notes

(a) Non-Australian Subordinated Noteholders

(i) A noteholder who is a non-resident of Australia will not be subject to tax on any gains realised from the sale or redemption of the Subordinated Notes if the Subordinated Notes are not held in the course of the noteholder carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia and provided such gains do not have an Australian source.

(ii) In addition, a noteholder who is a resident of a country which has a double tax agreement with Australia may be entitled to additional relief from tax on any gains realised from the sale or redemption of the Subordinated Notes.

(iii) Special rules apply to the taxation of resident noteholders who realise a gain or loss from the sale or redemption of the Subordinated Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia. Any gain from the sale or redemption of the Subordinated Notes may, in this case, not be subject to tax in Australia.

(b) Australian Subordinated Noteholders

(i) As discussed above, Division 230 will apply to many Australian Subordinated Noteholders to determine the quantum and timing of income and deductions arising in relation to the Notes, including in relation to gains and losses on redemption.

(ii) Even if Division 230 does not apply, Australian Subordinated Noteholders will ordinarily be required to include any gain from the sale or redemption of the Subordinated Notes in their assessable income in determining their Australian taxable income. They should ordinarily be entitled to a deduction for any loss from the sale or redemption of the Notes.

4. Other tax matters

Under Australian laws as presently in effect:

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


  • death duties – Subordinated Notes should not be subject to death, estate or succession duties imposed by Australia, or by any political subdivision or authority therein having power to tax, if held at the time of death;
  • stamp duty and other taxes – no ad valorem stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes should be payable in Australia on the issue or transfer of any Subordinated Notes. In addition, no ad valorem stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes should be payable in Australia on Exchange as long as the Issuer has the entirety of its share capital quoted on the ASX and no Holder (alone, with its associates, or with other parties who will be gaining an interest in the Issuer upon Exchange) will acquire or hold a 90% or more interest in the Issuer;
  • other withholding taxes on payments in respect of Subordinated Notes – withholding tax is imposed at the rate of (currently) 47% on the payment of interest on certain registered securities unless the relevant payee has quoted an Australian tax file number (TFN), (in certain circumstances) an Australian Business Number (ABN) or proof of some other exception (as appropriate).

Assuming the requirements of Section 128F of the Australian Tax Act are satisfied with respect to the Subordinated Notes, then this withholding tax does not apply to payments to a holder of Subordinated Notes in registered form who is not a resident of Australia and not holding those Subordinated Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia. Payments to other classes of holders of Subordinated Notes in registered form may be subject to a withholding where the holder of those Subordinated Notes does not quote a TFN, ABN or provide proof of an appropriate exemption (as appropriate);

  • additional withholdings from certain payments to non-residents – the Governor-General may make regulations requiring withholding from certain payments to non-residents (other than payments of interest and other amounts which are already subject to the current IWT rules or specifically exempt from those rules). However, the possible application of any future regulations to the proceeds of any sale of the Subordinated Notes will need to be monitored;
  • garnishee directions by the Commissioner of Taxation – the Commissioner may give a direction requiring the Issuer to deduct or withhold from any payment (including to a holder of the Subordinated Notes) any amount in respect of Australian tax payable by the holder. If the Issuer is served with such a direction, then the Issuer will comply with that direction and make any deduction required by that direction;
  • supply withholding tax – payments in respect of the Subordinated Notes can be made free and clear of "supply withholding tax"; and
  • goods and services tax (GST) – neither the issue nor receipt of the Subordinated Notes should give rise to a liability for GST in Australia on the basis that the supply of Subordinated Notes should comprise either an input taxed financial supply or (in the case of an offshore subscriber) a GST-free supply.

  • Non-Viability Trigger Event

The rights of Holders to a return of all or part of the principal of the Subordinated Notes and accrued interest will be affected if a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs. Holders should obtain their own advice in relation to the tax consequences of such an event.

Capital Notes

This section contains a summary of the Australian tax consequences for:

  • certain Capital Noteholders who are tax residents of Australia (Australian Resident Capital Noteholders); and
  • certain Capital Noteholders who are not tax residents of Australia (Non-Resident Capital Noteholders), and who subscribe for Capital Notes under the Programme and hold them on capital account for tax purposes;

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


This summary does not consider the consequences for Capital Noteholders who:

  • acquire Capital Notes otherwise than under the Programme;
  • hold Capital Notes in their business of trading, dealing in securities or otherwise hold their Capital Notes on revenue account or as trading stock;
  • are subject to the “taxation of financial arrangements” (TOFA) provisions in Division 230 of the Australian Tax Act in relation to their holdings of Capital Notes;
  • in relation to an Australian Resident Capital Noteholder, hold their Capital Notes through a permanent establishment outside of Australia; or
  • in relation to a Non-Resident Capital Noteholder, hold their Capital Notes through a permanent establishment in Australia.

1. Class Ruling on Capital Notes

The Issuer has applied to the ATO for a class ruling to confirm principal tax consequences for Australian Resident Capital Noteholders (Class Ruling).

It is expected that the Class Ruling will be issued shortly after Capital Notes are issued. When issued, the Class Ruling will be available on the ATO and Suncorp websites.

When issued, it is expected that the Class Ruling will:

(a) only apply to Capital Noteholders who fall within the class of entities described in the Class Ruling. In particular, it is expected that the Class Ruling will only apply to Australian Resident Capital Noteholders who subscribe for and acquire Capital Notes by initial application under this Information Memorandum, who hold their Capital Notes on capital account and who are not subject to the TOFA provisions in relation to the gains and losses on Capital Notes. Therefore, the Class Ruling will not apply to all Capital Noteholders;

(b) not consider the Australian tax implications of Non-Resident Capital Noteholder who hold their Capital Notes through a permanent establishment in Australia;

(c) not consider the tax treatment of Distributions made to trustee or partnership Capital Noteholders;

(d) only bind the Commissioner if the transactions in respect of the Capital Notes are carried out in the specific manner described in the Class Ruling; and

(e) only rule on the relevant taxation laws and regulation that apply at the time the Class Ruling is issued.

2. Distributions on Capital Notes

For Australian income tax purposes, Capital Notes should be characterised as “non-share equity interests”.

2.1 Australian Resident Capital Noteholders

Distributions on Capital Notes should constitute non-share dividends that are frankable.

Australian Resident Capital Noteholders should be required to include the amount of any Distributions in their assessable income.

Distributions on Capital Notes may be fully franked, partially franked or unfranked. The following comments apply to a Distribution on Capital Notes that is fully or partially franked. The general position is that, provided that an Australian Resident Capital Noteholder is a “qualified person” in relation to a Distribution and the ATO does not seek to apply any anti-avoidance rules to effectively deny the benefit

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


of franking credits to the Australian Resident Capital Noteholder, an Australian Resident Capital Noteholder:

(a) should include the amount of the Distribution and an amount equal to the franking credits attached to the Distribution in their assessable income in the year in which the Australian Resident Capital Noteholder received the Distribution; and
(b) should be entitled to a tax offset equal to the amount of the franking credits attached to the Distribution.

Australian Resident Capital Noteholders who are individuals or complying superannuation entities entitled to receive tax offsets may be able to either reduce the tax payable by the Capital Noteholder, or receive a tax refund if the tax offset equal to the franking credits attached to a Distribution exceeds the tax otherwise payable by the Capital Noteholder. Australian Resident Capital Noteholders that are companies are not entitled to tax refunds of excess tax offsets. Any excess tax offsets may be converted to a tax loss and carried forward to future years (subject to satisfaction of certain tax loss carry forward rules and other qualifications).

Broadly, an Australian Resident Capital Noteholder will meet the requirements to be a 'qualified person' if they meet the "holding period rule" and "related payments rule":

(a) "Holding period rule" – broadly, the "holding period rule" requires the Capital Noteholder to continuously hold their Capital Notes 'at risk' for a continuous period of at least 90 days (excluding the days of acquisition and disposal) within a period beginning on the day after the day on which Capital Notes are acquired and ending on the 90th day after the day on which Capital Notes become ex-Distribution to be eligible for a franking tax offset.
(b) "Related payments rule" – in general, the "related payments rule" applies where the Australian Resident Capital Noteholder (or an associate) is under an obligation to make a "related payment" (broadly, a payment that passes on the benefit of the franked Distribution). Under the "related payments rule", an Australian Resident Capital Noteholder must hold their Capital Notes 'at risk' for a continuous period of at least 90 days (excluding the days of acquisition and disposal), within the period beginning 90 days before and ending 90 days after Capital Notes become ex-Distribution.

For Capital Notes to be held 'at risk', an Australian Resident Capital Noteholder must be exposed to at least 30% of the risks of loss and opportunities for gains in respect of Capital Notes. An Australian Resident Capital Noteholder's ability to satisfy the "at risk" requirement may be impacted where the Capital Noteholder undertakes certain risk management strategies (for example, by the use of derivatives or options).

Any Australian Resident Capital Noteholder who is an individual and where the sum of the tax offsets to which the Capital Noteholder is entitled does not exceed $5,000 in an income year will be automatically treated as a "qualified person" in respect of the Distributions (provided that the Capital Noteholder does not make any "related payment" as described above).

Anti-avoidance rules

There are certain anti-avoidance rules that can apply to deny the benefit of any franking credits to Australian Resident Capital Noteholders.

Section 177EA of the Australian Tax Act is one such measure that applies to schemes which seek to obtain a tax advantage in relation to imputation benefits. If the Commissioner of Taxation is satisfied of certain factors and section 177EA applies, the Commissioner may make a determination:

(a) that a franking debit arises in respect of a Distribution; or
(b) to deny a franking credit benefit on a Distribution.

Based on current case law and ATO practices, the Issuer expects that the Commissioner will make a favourable ruling that neither section 177EA, nor any other anti-avoidance provision, should apply to

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


Distributions on Capital Notes (subject to the individual circumstances of the Australian Resident Capital Noteholder). Capital Noteholders should refer to the Class Ruling, when available, on this point.

2.2 Non-Resident Capital Noteholders

In respect of Distributions paid to Non-Resident Capital Noteholders who do not hold their Capital Notes through a permanent establishment in Australia:

(a) Distributions that are fully franked should not be subject to Australian withholding tax; and
(b) Where Distributions are unfranked or partially franked, the unfranked proportion will be subject to Australian withholding tax at the current rate of 30%. If the Non-Resident Capital Noteholder is a resident of a country that has a double tax agreement with Australia, this rate may be reduced.

3. Disposal of Capital Notes

3.1 Disposal other than through Conversion

(a) Australian Resident Capital Noteholders

It is expected that the Class Ruling will confirm that Capital Notes will not be "traditional securities". On that basis, the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) provisions should apply to any gains or losses on the disposal of Capital Notes. Capital Noteholders should refer to the Class Ruling, when available, on this point.

A CGT event will occur on the disposal of Capital Notes (including by way of Redemption, Resale and on-market disposal). Australian Resident Capital Noteholders may make a capital gain where the capital proceeds from a disposal are greater than the cost base for Capital Notes, and a capital loss where the capital proceeds from a disposal are less than the reduced cost base for Capital Notes.

Any capital gain should be included in the assessable income of the Australian Resident Capital Noteholder in the income year in which the relevant disposal occurred. Generally, capital losses can only be offset by capital gains and can be carried forward to future years. Australian Resident Capital Noteholders should seek independent advice on their entitlement to offset capital losses with respect to future capital gains.

The first element of the cost base (or reduced cost base) for each Capital Note held by an Australian Resident Capital Noteholder should be equal to the initial amount paid for the Capital Note (i.e. the initial issue price of $10,000). Other non-deductible amounts associated with acquiring and/or disposing of Capital Notes should also be included in the cost base (or reduced cost base) of Capital Notes.

Each Capital Note should be taken to have been acquired by the Australian Resident Capital Noteholder for CGT purposes on the day Capital Notes are issued to that Capital Noteholder. If the Capital Noteholder has owned Capital Notes for at least 12 months (excluding the days of acquisition and disposal), certain Australian Resident Capital Noteholders may be entitled to receive a CGT discount for any capital gain arising on a CGT event with respect to Capital Notes. The CGT discount may entitle Capital Noteholders to reduce the capital gain on disposal of Capital Notes (after deducting any capital losses) by a half in respect of trusts and individuals, and a third in respect of complying superannuation entities.

In 2018, the Turnbull government announced that "managed investment trusts" and "attribution managed investment trusts" would be prevented from applying the CGT discount at the trust level. This measure has not been legislated and the status of this measure is unclear. This issue should be monitored on an ongoing basis by potential investors.

(b) Non-Resident Capital Noteholders

On the basis that it is expected that Capital Notes will not be "traditional securities", any capital gain or capital loss made on the disposal of Capital Notes by a Non-Resident Capital Noteholder

AUS\CSMA\705217926.24


is likely to be disregarded (as Capital Notes are not likely to be "taxable Australian property" for CGT purposes).

3.2 Disposal on Conversion of Capital Notes

On Conversion, each Capital Noteholder's rights in relation to each Converted Capital Note will be immediately and irrevocably terminated for an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount of that Capital Note. The Issuer will apply this amount for subscription of Ordinary Shares. For both Australian Resident Capital Noteholders and Non-Resident Capital Noteholders, any capital gain or capital loss on Conversion should be deferred until the subsequent sale of any Ordinary Shares acquired on Conversion. For CGT purposes, a Capital Noteholder is taken to acquire the Ordinary Shares on the date of Conversion. Both the first element of the cost base and reduced cost base of the Ordinary Shares acquired on Conversion should be equal to the cost base and reduced cost base of the relevant Capital Notes.

4. Provision of TFN and/or ABN

The Issuer may be required to deduct withholding tax from the unfranked part (if any) of distributions (currently at the rate of 47%) unless Capital Noteholders provide the Issuer with a TFN, an ABN or notify the Issuer that the Capital Noteholder is exempt from providing this information.

5. GST

No GST should be payable by Capital Noteholders on the issue, disposal, Conversion, Exchange, Redemption or Resale of Capital Notes.

Capital Noteholders may be charged GST on costs they incur which relate to the issue, disposal, Conversion, Exchange Redemption or Resale of Capital Notes (e.g. legal, financial or tax adviser fees) and Capital Noteholders may not be entitled to claim input tax credits or may only be entitled to reduced input tax credits in relation to the GST amount incurred on these costs. Capital Noteholders should seek independent tax advice in relation to their individual circumstances.

6. Stamp Duty

No stamp duty should be payable on the issue, disposal, Conversion, Exchange, Redemption, or Resale of Capital Notes.

This is on the assumption that a Conversion will not result in Capital Noteholders, either individually, together with associated or related persons or as part of substantially one arrangement or acting in concert with other Capital Noteholders, holding an interest of 90% or greater in the Issuer.

PRICING SUPPLEMENT

PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors: The Capital Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (EEA). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (MiFID II); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the Insurance Distribution Directive), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Capital Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Capital Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors – The Capital Notes are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (UK). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is either one (or both) of the following: (i) not a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA); or (ii) not a qualified investor as defined in paragraph 15 of Schedule 1 to the Public Offers and Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024. Consequently no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook (DISC) for offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024.

Singapore Securities and Futures Act Product Classification – Solely for the purposes of its obligations pursuant to sections 309B(1)(a) and 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (the SFA), the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined section 309A of the SFA) that the Capital Notes are "prescribed capital markets products" (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018) and "Excluded Investment Products" (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).
