Update on contractual arrangements for P&I transaction
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited ABN 11 005 357 522
News Release
For Release: 13 May 2019
Update on contractual arrangements for pensions and
investments transaction
ANZ today provided an update on contractual arrangements in place with IOOF Holdings
Limited in relation to the sale of the OnePath Pensions & Investments (P&I) business.
As of 11 May 2019, the coupon rate ANZ pays on the debt note subscribed by IOOF reduced
from 14.4%pa to 2%pa.
This relates to an agreement reached in July 2018 under which ANZ agreed to transfer a
partial economic interest of its P&I business and the legal ownership of its Aligned Dealer
Groups to IOOF from 1 October 2018.
Under the agreement ANZ received an initial payment of $800 million from IOOF, equivalent
to approximately 82 per cent of the economic interests in ANZ’s P&I business, and ANZ paid
a coupon rate on the debt note subscribed by IOOF.
ANZ can also confirm that if any conditions to the completion of the remainder of the P&I
business transfer are not met by 17 October 2019, ANZ or IOOF can terminate that
remaining sale.
ANZ and IOOF continue to work co-operatively on the transaction. The update announced
today does not change ANZ’s position of continuing to monitor IOOF’s response to matters
raised by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority before making a decision about the
transfer of the P&I business.
ANZ completed the legal separation of its P&I business from its Life Insurance business last
month. The sale of its Life Insurance business to Zurich is on track for completion on 31 May
2019.
