ANNEXURE A ANZ NOHC UPDATES
The Approved NOHC Substitution Date (as defined in the Conditions) occurred on 3 January
2023.
1.The section entitled “Non-Operating Holding Company” in the Information
Memorandum shall be updated as follows:
The Issuer has established a non-operating holding company, ANZ Group Holdings
Limited ACN 659 510 791 (“ANZ NOHC”), as the new listed parent holding company
of the Group by a scheme of arrangement and has separated the Issuer’s banking
and certain non-banking businesses into the ANZ Bank Group and ANZ Non-Bank
Group. The ANZ Bank Group comprises the Issuer and the majority of its
subsidiaries. The ANZ Non-Bank Group houses banking-adjacent businesses
developed or to be acquired by the Group, as the Issuer continues to seek ways to
bring the best new technology and banking-adjacent services to its customers.
The following definitions apply:
•“ANZ Bank HoldCo” means ANZ BH Pty Ltd (ACN 658 939 952), a non-operating
intermediate holding company owned by ANZ NOHC and which owns the ANZ
Bank Group subsidiaries (including the Issuer).
•“ANZ Bank Group” means all businesses and entities owned by ANZ Bank HoldCo,
including the Issuer and ANZ New Zealand.
•“ANZBGL Group” means the Issuer and each of its subsidiaries.
•“ANZ NOHC” means ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ACN 659 510 791).
•“ANZ NOHC Group” means all businesses owned or controlled by the ANZ NOHC
(including ANZ Bank HoldCo, the Issuer, and ANZ Non-Bank HoldCo).
•“ANZ Non-Bank Group” means ANZ Group Services Pty Ltd (ACN 658 940 900)
and all businesses and entities owned by ANZ Non-Bank HoldCo, including ANZ’s
beneficial interests in the 1835i trusts, non-controlling interest in the Worldline
merchant acquiring joint venture, and equity interests in Lygon, TIN and Pollination.
•“ANZ Non-Bank HoldCo” means ANZ NBH Pty Ltd (ACN 658 941 096), a non-
operating intermediate holding company owned by ANZ NOHC and which owns
certain nonbanking subsidiaries.
•“Group” means the ANZBGL Group or the ANZ NOHC Group as a whole (including
all businesses), as the context requires.
•“Issuer” means Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ACN 005 357
522).
•“Restructure” means the restructure of the ANZBGL Group implemented by the: 1.
Scheme; and 2. business restructure.
•“Scheme” means the scheme of arrangement under Part 5.1 of the Corporations
Act implemented on 3 January 2023.
As a result of the Restructure, the Issuer’s pre-Restructure operating groups and
financial statements do not reflect the ANZBGL Group’s operating groups and
businesses, taken as a whole, primarily because certain assets and businesses were
transferred and additional assets and businesses may in the future be transferred to the
ANZ Non-Bank Group, which are not owned, directly or indirectly, by the Issuer. Any
assets transferred to, or acquired by, the ANZ Non-Bank Group are not available to
service the indebtedness represented by the Notes. While those assets are not material
relative to the total assets of the ANZBGL Group as at 30 September 2022, those
assets, as well as any other assets outside the ANZBGL Group, may in the future
represent a greater proportion of the post-Restructure Group’s total assets.

2.The section entitled “Description of Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and the ANZ
NOHC” shall be updated as follows:
The rights and liabilities attaching to the ordinary shares of the ANZ NOHC are set
out in the constitution of the ANZ NOHC (“Constitution”) and are also regulated by
the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and the general law. A summary of the key
rights attaching to the ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares is as follows. lnvestors who wish
to inspect the Constitution may do so at the registered office of the ANZ NOHC during
normal office hours.
Voting rights
Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares or class of shares, a
registered holder of an ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share (“Shareholder”) is entitled to
attend and vote at a general meeting of the ANZ NOHC. Any resolution being
considered at a general meeting is decided on a show of hands unless a poll is held.
On a show of hands, each Shareholder present has one vote. On a poll, each
Shareholder has one vote for each ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share. Partly paid ANZ
NOHC Ordinary Shares confer that fraction of a vote which is equal to the proportion
which the amount paid bears to the total issue price of the ANZ NOHC Ordinary
Share.
General meetings
Notice of a general meeting must be given to each Shareholder in accordance with
the Corporations Act. Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notices, financial
statements and other documents required to be provided to Shareholders under the
Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules.
Dividend entitlement
Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the terms of issue of ANZ
NOHC Ordinary Shares, the board of directors of the ANZ NOHC (“Board”) may
resolve to pay dividends on ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares which are considered by the
Board to be appropriate, in proportion to the capital paid up on the ANZ NOHC
Ordinary Shares held by each Shareholder (subject to the rights of holders of shares
carrying preferred rights).
Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan
Shareholders who are eligible may participate in the ANZ NOHC's dividend
reinvestment plan or bonus option plan, as in force from time to time, in accordance
with (and subject to) the rules of those plans. Shareholders who are subject to the
laws of a country or place other than Australia may not be eligible to participate,
because of legal requirements that apply in that country or place or in Australia. Until
the Board otherwise determines, participation in the ANZ NOHC's dividend
reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is not available directly or indirectly to any
entity or person (including any legal or beneficial owner of ANZ NOHC Ordinary
Shares) who is (or who is acting on behalf of or for the account or benefit of an entity
or person who is) in or resident in the United States (including its territories or
possessions) or Canada.
Rights of shareholders on a winding-up of the ANZ NOHC
lf the ANZ NOHC is wound up and its property is more than sufficient to pay all debts,
share capital of the ANZ NOHC and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be
divided among Shareholders in proportion to the capital paid up on the ANZ NOHC
Ordinary Shares at the commencement of the winding-up (subject to the rights of
holders of shares carrying preferred rights on winding-up). A partly paid ANZ NOHC
Ordinary Share is counted as a fraction of a fully paid ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share
9
equal to the proportion which the amount paid on it bears to the total issue price of
the ANZ NOHC Ordinary Share.
However, with the sanction of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide among
Shareholders the assets of the ANZ NOHC in kind and decide how the division is to
be carried out or vest assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of Shareholders
as the liquidator thinks appropriate.
Transfer of ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares
ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares may be transferred by any means permitted by the
Corporations Act or by law. The Board may decline to register a transfer where
permitted to do so under the ASX Listing Rules or the settlement operating rules of
the ASX (“ASX Settlement Operating Rules”), or where registration of the transfer is
forbidden by the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or ASX Settlement Operating
Rules. ln addition, subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and ASX
Settlement Operating Rules, the Board may decline to register a transfer if
registration would create a new holding of less than a marketable parcel under the
ASX Listing Rules.
lssues of further shares
Subject to the Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Board may
issue or grant options in respect of ANZ NOHC Ordinary Shares on such terms as the
Board decides. The Board may also issue preference shares, including redeemable
preference shares, or convertible notes with preferred, deferred or special rights or
restrictions in relation to dividends, voting, return of capital and participation in surplus
on a winding-up of the ANZ NOHC.
Variation of the Constitution
The Constitution can only be modified by a special resolution in accordance with the
Corporations Act. Under the Corporations Act, for a resolution to be passed as a
special resolution it must be passed by at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast by
members entitled to vote on the resolution.
Variation of rights
The ANZ NOHC may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any class of shares
with the prior approval, by a special resolution, of the holders of shares in that class
at a meeting of those holders, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75
per. cent of the issued shares of that class. Subject to the terms of issue, the rights
attached to a class of shares are not treated as varied by the issue of further shares
which rank equally with that existing class for participation in profits and assets of the
ANZ NOHC.
SCHEDULE 2 – Description of rights and liabilities attaching to Ordinary Shares
The rights and liabilities attaching to Ordinary Shares are set out in the constitution of ANZ
NOHC ("Constitution") and are also regulated by the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and
the general law. A summary of the key rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares is set out below.

Notice of a general meeting must be given to each Shareholder in accordance with the
Corporations Act. Each Shareholder is entitled to receive notices, financial statements and other
documents required to be provided to Shareholders under the Constitution, Corporations Act and
ASX Listing Rules.
Dividend entitlement
Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution and the terms of issue of Ordinary Shares, the
board of directors of ANZ NOHC ("Board") may resolve to pay dividends on Ordinary Shares
which are considered by the Board to be appropriate, in proportion to the capital paid up on the
Ordinary Shares held by each Shareholder (subject to the rights of holders of shares carrying
preferred rights).
Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan
Shareholders who are eligible may participate in ANZ NOHC's dividend reinvestment plan or
bonus option plan, as in force from time to time, in accordance with (and subject to) the rules of
those plans. Shareholders who are subject to the laws of a country or place other than Australia
may not be eligible to participate, because of legal requirements that apply in that country or
place or in Australia. Until the Board otherwise determines, participation in ANZ NOHC's dividend
reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is not available directly or indirectly to any entity or
person (including any legal or beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares) who is (or who is acting on
behalf of or for the account or benefit of an entity or person who is) in or resident in the United
States (including its territories or possessions) or Canada.
Rights of shareholders on a winding-up of ANZ NOHC
If ANZ NOHC is wound up and its property is more than sufficient to pay all debts, share capital
of ANZ NOHC and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be divided among Shareholders
in proportion to the capital paid up on the Ordinary Shares at the commencement of the
winding-up (subject to the rights of holders of shares carrying preferred rights on winding-up). A
partly paid Ordinary Share is counted as a fraction of a fully paid Ordinary Share equal to the
proportion which the amount paid on it bears to the total issue price of the Ordinary Share.
However, with the sanction of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide among
Shareholders the assets of ANZ NOHC in kind and decide how the division is to be carried out or
vest assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of Shareholders as the liquidator thinks
appropriate.
Transfer of ordinary shares
Ordinary Shares may be transferred by any means permitted by the Corporations Act or by law.
The Board may decline to register a transfer where permitted to do so under the ASX Listing
Rules or the settlement operating rules of the ASX ("ASX Settlement Operating Rules"), or
where registration of the transfer is forbidden by the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules or ASX
Settlement Operating Rules. In addition, subject to the Corporations Act, ASX Listing Rules and
ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Board may decline to register a transfer if registration
would create a new holding of less than a marketable parcel under the ASX Listing Rules.
Issues of further shares
Subject to the Constitution, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Board may issue or
grant options in respect of Ordinary Shares on such terms as the Board decides. The Board may
also issue preference shares, including redeemable preference shares, or convertible notes with
preferred, deferred or special rights or restrictions in relation to dividends, voting, return of
capital and participation in surplus on a winding-up of ANZ NOHC.
Variation of the Constitution
The Constitution can only be modified by a special resolution in accordance with the
Corporations Act. Under the Corporations Act, for a resolution to be passed as a special
resolution it must be passed by at least 75 per cent. of the votes cast by members entitled to

holders, or with the written consent of the holders of at least 75 per cent. of the issued shares of
that class.
Subject to the terms of issue, the rights attached to a class of shares are not treated as varied
by the issue of further shares which rank equally with that existing class for participation in
profits and assets of ANZ NOHC.
