Notes:
-
1 For more information on the pro forma capital adequacy position and the relevant assumptions and adjustments, see Section 4.5 of the Prospectus.
-
2 The pro-forma adjustments do not adjust for the impact of the sale of Suncorp’s Australian Wealth business, Suncorp Portfolio Services Limited or the sale of RACT Insurance Pty Limited, as outlined in Section 3.2 of the Prospectus.
-
3 This adjustment reflects the on-market share buy-back of up to $250 million announced on 9 August 2021 which is proposed to start from 6 September 2021, as outlined in Section 3.2 of the Prospectus.
-
4 These adjustments assume $350 million of Capital Notes 4 were issued on 30 June 2021, net of estimated issue transaction costs of approximately $7 million. The actual issue amount may be more or less than $350 million and, consequently, the issue transaction costs may be more or less than $7 million.
-
5 As outlined in Section 1.1 of the Prospectus, Suncorp has an option to convert, redeem or resell the $375 million Capital Notes 1 on 17 June 2022 and will consider converting, redeeming or reselling the $375 million Capital Notes 1 on that date, subject to various factors. 6 Includes $637 million capital held at Group entities.
-
7 Includes $387 million capital held at Group entities.

Capital Notes 4 key features
| Distributions | ||
|---|---|---|
| – | Distributions are discretionary, non-cumulative, floating rate payments and are expected to be fully franked1 | |
| Distributions | – Distributions are scheduled to be paid quarterly in arrears, subject to no Payment Condition existing – the first Distribution Payment Date is 17 December 20212 |
|
| – | 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 = (Bank Bill Rate3 + Margin) x (1 – Tax Rate) | |
| Distribution 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 2.90% – 3.10% per annum, to be determined under the Bookbuild |
| – | The Margin will not change for the term of Capital Notes 4 | |
| – | 'Payment Condition' means: | |
| Payment Conditions |
– paying the Distribution would result in the Eligible Capital of the Suncorp Group not complying with APRA’s then current prudential capital requirements as they are applied to the 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 |
||
| – | If a Distribution has not been paid in full on the relevant Distribution Payment Date, then subject to certain exclusions set out in the Capital Notes 4 | |
| terms, Suncorp must not, without the approval of a Special Resolution, until and including the next Distribution Payment Date: | ||
| Distribution Restriction |
– declare, determine to pay or pay an Ordinary Share Dividend; or – undertake any Buy Back or Capital Reduction, unless the Distribution is paid in full within 3 Business Days of the Distribution Payment Date |
|
| – | 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 |
Notes:
1 The availability of franking credits is not guaranteed and will depend on a number of factors. Holders should refer to the Australian taxation summary in the Prospectus.
2 If a Distribution Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the Distribution Payment Date will be the next Business Day.
- 3 If Suncorp determines that a Rate Disruption Event has occurred, then, subject to APRA’s prior written approval, Suncorp shall use as the Bank Bill Rate such Replacement Rate as it may determine and shall make such adjustments to the Terms as it determines are reasonably necessary to calculate Distributions in accordance with such Replacement Rate. Broadly, Replacement Rate includes a rate that is generally accepted in the Australian market as the successor to the Bank Bill Rate. Holders should note that APRA’s approval may not be given for any Replacement Rate it considers to have the effect of increasing the rate of Distributions contrary to applicable prudential standards.

Appendix A: Mandatory Conversion
-
The Mandatory Conversion Date will be 17 December 2030, 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 4 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 Note 4¹
-
The following diagram illustrates the operation of the conditions:

----- End of picture text -----
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 theOrdinary 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 4.
-
2 Issue Date VWAP = VWAP during the 20 Business Days on which trading in Ordinary Shares took place immediately preceding the Issue Date.

Appendix A: Mandatory Conversion (cont’d)
-
A Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs where APRA has provided a written determination to Suncorp that:
-
the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write off of Relevant Securities (including Capital Notes 4) in accordance with their terms
-
Non-Viability or by operation of law is necessary because without the conversion to Ordinary Shares or write off, APRA considers that Trigger Event Suncorp would become non-viable; or
- without a public sector injection of capital into, or equivalent support with respect to, Suncorp, APRA considers that Suncorp would become non-viable.
-
Upon a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurring, Suncorp must immediately Convert some or all Capital Notes 4 to Ordinary Shares
Conversion following a Non-Viability Trigger Event
-
If Conversion of Capital Notes 4 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 4 are immediately an d irrevocably Written-Off
-
The number of Ordinary Shares a Holder receives upon Conversion is calculated using the formula on the previous page[1] but 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
-
Maximum Conversion following a Non-Viability Trigger Event) Conversion – The Mandatory Conversion Conditions are intended to help protect Holders against receiving a number of Ordinary Shares limite d to Number the Maximum Conversion Number and accordingly worth less than $101 per Capital Note 4 (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 4 and a Holder may suffer a significant loss as a consequence
