Re: Notice of Person Ceasing to be a Substantial Shareholder under Section 671B

Company Secretary:

Enclosed is a Notice under Section 671B of Person Ceasing to be a Substantial Shareholder dated 30 September 2015.

The Capital Group Companies, Inc. (“CGC”) is the parent company of Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”). CRMC is a U.S.-based investment management company that manages the American Funds family of mutual funds. CRMC manages equity assets for various investment companies through three divisions, Capital Research Global Investors, Capital International Investors and Capital World Investors. CRMC in turn is the parent company of Capital Group International, Inc. (“CGII”), which in turn is the parent company of five investment management companies (“CGII management companies”): Capital Guardian Trust Company, Capital International, Inc., Capital International Limited, Capital International Sàrl and Capital International K.K. The CGII management companies primarily serve as investment managers to institutional clients.

Neither CGC nor any of its affiliates own shares of Suncorp Group Ltd. for its own account. Rather, the shares reported on Form 605 are owned by accounts under the discretionary investment management of one or more of the investment management companies that make up CGC.

Please note that CGC or one of its affiliates has made notifications to your company pursuant to Section 671B in the past.

For the purpose of this Notice, an outstanding share balance of 1,286,600,980 shares was used to calculate the percentage of holdings. We believe this outstanding share balance is correct; however, if this number is not accurate, please contact us as soon as possible so we may make the necessary revisions.

Should you have questions or require additional information, please contact us at (213) 615-0469, or send a fax message to (213) 615-4056. Alternatively, you may contact us via e-mail at [email protected].
