Important Notice

This presentation has been prepared and authorised by Suncorp Group Limited (ABN 66 145 290 124) (“Suncorp”) in relation to the proposed offer by Suncorp of Suncorp Capital Notes ("Capital Notes") (the “Offer”). The Offer is made pursuant to a prospectus under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) which was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) on 27 March 2017 (“Prospectus”). Suncorp intends to lodge a replacement Prospectus, which will include the offer size and the Margin, on or around 4 April 2017.

Morgans Financial Limited (ABN 49 010 669 726), National Australia Bank Limited (ABN 12 004 044 937) and UBS AG, Australia Branch (ABN 47 088 129 613) are the joint lead managers to the Offer (“Joint Lead Managers”). UBS AG, Australia Branch (ABN 47 088 129 613) (“UBS”) is also the Arranger of the Offer.

Distributions

Distributions
Distributions are discretionary, non-cumulative, floating rate payments and are expected to be fully franked

Distributions are scheduled to be paid quarterly in arrears, subject to no Payment Condition existing

the first Distribution Payment Date is 18 September 2017. This first period is longer than subsequent quarterly periods

Distribution Payment Dates are 17 March, 17 June, 17 September and 17 December in each year

Distributions on Capital Notes are expected to be fully franked. If any Distribution is not fully franked, then the amount of the scheduled cash Distribution will be adjusted to reflect the
applicable Franking Rate
Distribution Rate
Distribution Rate = (Bank Bill Rate + Margin) x (1 – Tax Rate)

Bank Bill Rate is the 3-month Bank Bill Rate on the first Business Day of the relevant Distribution Period

Margin expected to be 4.10% – 4.30% per annum, to be determined under the Bookbuild
Payment
conditions

'Payment Condition' means:

paying the Distribution would result in the Eligible Capital of Suncorp Group not complying with APRA’s then current prudential capital requirements as they are applied to
Suncorp Group (unless approved in writing by APRA);

paying the Distribution would result in Suncorp becoming, or being likely to become, insolvent for the purposes of the Corporations Act; or

APRA objects to the payment of the Distribution.
Distribution
Restriction

If a Distribution has not been paid in full within 3 Business Days of the relevant Distribution Payment Date, then subject to certain exclusions set out in the Capital Notes terms,
Suncorp must not, without the approval of a Special Resolution, until and including the next Distribution Payment Date:

declare, determine to pay or pay an Ordinary Share Dividend; or

undertake any Buy Back or Capital Reduction.

Failure to pay a Distribution when scheduled will not constitute an event of default

Distributions that are not paid do not accrue and will not be subsequently paid

Suncorpmaychoose to Convert all (but not some only) Capital Notes after a Potential Acquisition Event

SuncorpmustConvert all (but not some only) Capital Notes after an Acquisition Event (subject to certain conditions being met)
Exchange
Exchange means:

Conversion into a variable number of Ordinary Shares with a value of approximately $101 per Capital Note2

Redemption for $100 per Capital Note;

Resale for $100 per Capital Note; or

a combination of Conversion, Redemption and Resale.
Holder rights
Holders do not have a right to request Exchange
Resale by Suncorp
If Suncorp elects for Capital Notes to be Resold, Holders will be notified and on the Exchange Date will receive $100 per Note

Suncorp may appoint one or more third parties (Nominated Purchaser(s)) to purchase some or all Capital Notes

If the Nominated Purchaser does not pay the Resale Price of any Capital Notes when due, those Capital Notes will not be transferred and the Holder will
continue to hold them until Capital Notes are otherwise Converted, Redeemed or Resold

Notes:

1 Suncorp’s right to elect to Exchange is subject to APRA’s prior written approval and subject to restrictions in certain circumstances. Holders should not assume that APRA will provide its approval.

2 The exact number of Ordinary Shares to be received depends on the VWAP of Ordinary Shares, therefore it may be worth more or less than $101 per Note on the Conversion date.

Capital Notes key features

Mandatory Conversion

  • The Mandatory Conversion Date will be 17 June 2024, provided the Mandatory Conversion Conditions have been satisfied on that date. If any of the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are not satisfied on this date, then the Mandatory Conversion Date will be the next Distribution Payment Date on which all such conditions are satisfied

  • Capital Notes may remain on issue indefinitely and may never Convert into Ordinary Shares if the Mandatory Conversion Conditions are not satisfied

  • On the Mandatory Conversion Date, Holders will receive approximately $101 of Ordinary Shares for each Capital Note¹

Face Value
99% x VWAP
Conversion Number = Face Value
99% x VWAP

Notes:

  • 1 The exact number of Ordinary Shares to be received depends on the VWAP of Ordinary Shares. The VWAP during the 20 Business Days on which trading in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding (but not including) the Mandatory Conversion Date that is used to calculate the number of Ordinary Shares that Holders receive will most likely differ from the Ordinary Share price on or after the Mandatory Conversion Date. This means that the value of Ordinary Shares received may be worth more or less than approximately $101 per Capital Note.

  • 2 Issue Date VWAP = VWAP during the 20 Business Days on which trading in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding the Issue Date.

CAPITAL NOTES

19

==> picture [60 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Capital Notes key features

Mandatory conversion

Non-Viability Trigger Event
A Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs where APRA provides a written determination to Suncorp that the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write off of Relevant Securities
(including Capital Notes) in accordance with their terms or by operation of law is necessary because:

without conversion to Ordinary Shares or write off, APRA considers that Suncorp would become non-viable; or

without a public sector injection of capital into, or equivalent capital support with respect to, Suncorp, APRA considers that Suncorp would become non-viable.
Conversion following a Non-
Viability Trigger Event

Upon a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurring, Suncorp must immediately Convert some or all Capital Notes to Ordinary Shares.

If Conversion of Capital Notes does not occur within 5 Business Days after the Trigger Event Date for any reason (including an Inability Event), then Conversion will not occur
and Holder's rights with respect to those Capital Notes are immediately and irrevocably Written-Off.
Maximum Conversion Number
The number of Ordinary Shares a Holder receives upon Conversion is calculated using the formula on the previous page1but is capped at the Maximum Conversion Number.

The Maximum Conversion Number is calculated as $100 / (Issue Date VWAP x Relevant Fraction).

The Relevant Fraction is 0.5 in relation to a Mandatory Conversion and 0.2 in the case of any other Conversion (including Conversion following a Non-Viability Trigger Event).

The Mandatory Conversion Conditions are intended to help protect Holders against receiving a number of Ordinary Shares limited to the Maximum Conversion Number and
accordingly worth less than $101 per Capital Note (based on the VWAP during the 20 Business Days before the Mandatory Conversion Date).

Since there are no conditions to a Non-Viability Conversion, the number of Ordinary Shares a Holder may receive on account of a Non-Viability Conversion may be worth
significantly less than $101 per Capital Note and a Holder may suffer a significant loss as a consequence.

Notes:

1 See Conversion Number formula on page 19.

Capital Notes

Key risks associated with an investment in Capital Notes

  • Capital Notes are not deposit or policy liabilities of Suncorp or any member of the Suncorp Group, are not protected accounts under the Banking Act or protected policies under the Insurance Act, and are not guaranteed by any government or other person

  • The price at which Capital Notes Holders are able to sell Capital Notes on ASX is uncertain

  • Unlike Ordinary Shares, Capital Notes do not provide a material exposure to growth in the Suncorp Group’s business

  • There may be no liquid market for Capital Notes

  • The market price of Suncorp Ordinary Shares may fluctuate due to various factors

  • Distributions are discretionary and are only payable subject to no Payment Condition existing

  • There is a risk that Distributions will not be paid, including where Suncorp determines in its absolute discretion not to pay a Distribution or where APRA objects to a Distribution payment

  • The Distribution Rate will fluctuate over time (it may increase and/or decrease) as a result of movements in the Bank Bill Rate

  • The amount of cash Distributions will also fluctuate with any change in the Franking Rate

  • It is uncertain whether and when Capital Notes may be Exchanged

  • Holders have no right to request that their Capital Notes be Exchanged. Unless their Capital Notes are Exchanged, to realise their investment, Holders would need to sell their Capital Notes on ASX at the prevailing market price. That price may be less than the Issue Price, and there may be no liquid market in Capital Notes

  • If Conversion occurs following a Non-Viability Trigger Event, Holders are likely to receive Ordinary Shares that are worth significantly less than the Issue Price of Capital Notes

  • Where Conversion does not occur for any reason (including an Inability Event) within 5 Business Days after the Trigger Event Date, those Capital Notes which are required to be Converted will be Written-Off and all rights in relation to those Capital Notes will be terminated
