WESTPAC GROUP 2023 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING PARTICIPATION
Dear fellow shareholders,
On behalf of the Westpac Board,
I invite you to attend our 2023
Annual General Meeting (AGM) on
14 December 2023. It will be held
in Brisbane and shareholders have
the option to attend in person or to
participate online. Information on how
to take part in the AGM is outlined in
this Notice of Meeting.
This AGM will be my last as Westpac’s Chairman. Having
joined the Board in February 2020, I will retire at the end
of the meeting and Steven Gregg will take the reins as
Chairman. Steven is a seasoned director and chairman with
more than 35 years’ experience across a range of sectors.
He is the right leader to take Westpac into its next chapter
and will work well with fellow directors, the CEO and the
Executive team.
Improved performance
Over the year, we continued to navigate and help
customers through the uncertain operating environment.
We improved service to customers, especially through
digitisation and simplification.
This year has seen the best financial and operating
performance by the Group since 2018.
Profit after tax was $7.2 billion in FY23, up 26% on a
statutory basis and 12% excluding Notable Items. Return
on tangible equity was solid at 11.4%, well above our cost
of equity. Operating income was strong, up 10%. However,
impairment provisions doubled reflecting the effect of
interest rate rises and inflation on customers.
Our capital position remains strong with a core equity tier
1 ratio of 12.4%, well ahead of our target operating range
of 11-11.5%. The Board declared an increased 2023 final
dividend of 72 cents, as well as the announcement of a
$1.5 billion on-market share buy-back.
Stronger foundations
Westpac has undergone significant renewal over the past
three years and I thank shareholders for their patience
as we have created a leaner, more agile and better
performing bank.
Importantly, risk management and risk culture have
improved through our Customer Outcomes and Risk
Excellence (CORE) integrated plan. CORE is a critical
integrated plan and is well progressed with 94%
of activities complete and improvements made in
accountability and risk outcomes. Work will continue
into the coming year to ensure change is sustainable
and effective.
Since 2020, we have exited 10 non-core businesses and
improved operational efficiency. Our renewed focus on
banking in Australia and New Zealand, along with a more
favourable operating environment, was reflected in our
improved financial performance.
With stronger foundations, the Board has made it a priority
to increase investment to enable growth in key markets.
In coming years, we will continue our simplification by
integrating technology to deal with complexity, cost and
service issues from past acquisitions.
Items of business
The items of business at this year’s AGM are set out from
page 6 of this Notice of Meeting, including explanatory
notes and Board recommendations.
We welcomed directors Tim Burroughs, Michael Ullmer
and Steven Gregg to the Board this year. Tim, Michael and
Steven are standing for election at this AGM. Mike Hawker
retired from the Board during the year. Chris Lynch has
decided not to seek re-election and will stand down at the
completion of his term immediately following the AGM.
On behalf of my fellow directors, I thank them for their
contribution to Westpac.
Shareholders will be given the opportunity to vote on
our climate plans in a non-binding climate resolution. The
resolution demonstrates our focus on climate commitments,
actions and progress. It is also an acknowledgement of the
importance of this issue for shareholders.
The other items of business at the AGM will be the Financial
Reports, the Remuneration Report, the grant of equity to
the Chief Executive Officer and two resolutions proposed
by a group of shareholders. Further details are provided in
the explanatory notes of this Notice of Meeting.
We look forward to welcoming you to our AGM.
Yours sincerely,
John McFarlane

MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING PARTICIPATION
How to appoint a proxy
Shareholders can appoint up to two proxies to participate
in the AGM on their behalf. A proxy need not be a
shareholder of Westpac.
Where two proxies are appointed, each proxy can
represent a specific proportion or number of shares.
If no number or proportion is specified, each proxy will
represent half the shareholder’s votes.
Proxy instructions must be received by 10:00 am
(Brisbane time) on Tuesday, 12 December 2023. Any proxy
instructions received after this deadline will be ineffective.
If a proxy is instructed to abstain from voting on an Item,
they must not vote on the shareholder’s behalf. Any vote
cast in these circumstances will not be counted.
If you appoint a proxy (other than the Chairman of the
AGM) and direct them how to vote and they do not attend
the meeting or do not vote on the poll, the Chairman of the
AGM will become your proxy and must cast those proxy
votes in accordance with your directions.
If you appoint the Chairman of the AGM as your proxy
(or the Chairman is appointed by default), and no
direction is provided, you will be expressly authorising the
Chairman to exercise your proxy as the Chairman sees
fit. This includes in relation to Items 2 and 3 even though
those items are connected directly or indirectly with the
remuneration of a member of Westpac’s KMP.
If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the AGM as proxy
and direct the Chairman how to vote on an Item, you must
complete the ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ boxes on the
Voting/Proxy Form. Otherwise, the Chairman of the AGM
intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Items 2, 3,
4a, 4b, 4c and 5 and against Items 6a and 6b.
If you appoint a Director (other than the Chairman) or
another KMP or closely related party of any KMP as your
proxy, you must specify how they should vote on Items 2
and 3 by completing the ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ boxes
on the Voting/Proxy Form. If you do not, your proxy will
not be able to exercise your vote for those Items.
Shareholders are encouraged to direct their proxies on
how to vote. If a proxy is not directed, the proxy may
abstain or vote as they see fit (subject to the voting
exclusions).
If you appoint a proxy but then attend the meeting
in a manner outlined on page 5, your proxy will be
automatically revoked (as required by law), and you will
need to lodge your vote at the meeting.
Further instructions on appointing proxies are
available on the Voting/Proxy Form or online at
vote.linkmarketservices.com/WBC.
Corporate representatives
A corporation which is a shareholder, or which has been
appointed as a proxy, may appoint an individual to act
as a corporate representative to vote at the AGM. The
appointment must comply with section 250D of the
Corporations Act. The corporate representative should
lodge their properly executed letter or other document
confirming their authority to act as the company’s
corporate representative with their Certificate of
Appointment of Corporate Representative form to Link
at the postal address or email address on page 8, unless
it has previously been provided to Link. A Certificate of
Appointment of Corporate Representative form may be
obtained from Link or online at linkmarketservices.com.au
and must be received by Link by 10:00 am (Brisbane time)
on Thursday, 14 December 2023.
Attorney
A shareholder entitled to participate and vote at the AGM
is entitled to appoint an attorney to participate and vote
at the meeting on the shareholder’s behalf. An attorney
does not have to be a shareholder of Westpac. The power
of attorney appointing the attorney must be duly signed
and specify the names of the shareholder and the attorney
and specify the meetings at which the appointment may
be used.
To be effective, a hard copy of the power of attorney,

NOTES
Item 1
Financial Reports
This Item relates to Westpac’s Financial
Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report
(the Financial Reports) for the year ended
30 September 2023. This Item does not require
a formal resolution and so no vote will be held.
Shareholders may ask questions and make
comments on the Financial Reports or the
management of Westpac and will have an
opportunity to ask questions of Westpac’s
auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit,
the preparation and content of the Auditor’s
Report, the accounting policies adopted by
Westpac and the independence of the auditor
in relation to the conduct of the audit.
The Financial Reports are in Westpac’s
2023 Annual Report and available at
westpac.com.au/investorcentre.
Item 2
Remuneration Report
Shareholders are asked to adopt Westpac’s
Remuneration Report for the year ended
30 September 2023.
The Remuneration Report is included within
Westpac’s 2023 Annual Report and is available at
westpac.com.au/investorcentre.
The Remuneration Report sets out information about:
—the executive remuneration framework;
—the relationship between remuneration and Company
performance;
—remuneration governance;
—details of executive remuneration arrangements; and
—statutory remuneration details (including for the
Directors of the Company).
The vote on this Item is advisory only and does not bind
the Company or its Directors. However, the voting outcome
will be considered when determining future remuneration
arrangements.
A voting exclusion applies to this Item, as set out earlier
in this Notice of Meeting.
The Board recommends shareholders vote in
favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.
The Chairman of the AGM intends to vote all
available proxies in favour of this Item.
Item 3
Grant of Equity to
Managing Director and
Chief Executive Officer
Shareholders are asked to vote on the grant
of equity as Long Term Variable Reward (LTVR)
to the CEO, Peter King, that will form part of
his 2024 financial year remuneration.
To align the CEO’s long term interests with those of
shareholders, the Board believes the CEO should maintain
a significant shareholding in Westpac and receive part of
his remuneration in equity that vests if certain conditions
are met.
The Board believes it is appropriate to proceed with
granting performance based equity to support long term
shareholder returns and value creation.
With the introduction of APRA’s new Prudential Standard
CPS 511 Remuneration and the refresh of our strategy,
the Board has made some changes to our executive
remuneration framework in line with market developments.
This is effective from 1 October 2023.
It is therefore proposed that the 2024 LTVR award be
allocated as performance rights and restricted rights. If
certain conditions are met over a four year performance
period, the rights will vest at the end of the deferral periods
as outlined below.
We are introducing restricted rights in 2024 to reinforce
our focus on maintaining or improving Group risk culture.
We believe a great Group risk culture is a necessary
foundation for a successful bank and the creation of long
term value for all of our stakeholders.
The grant of equity is consistent with Mr King’s
employment agreement.

MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING PARTICIPATION
The Board has the ability to adjust the number of rights downwards (including to zero) in the event of significant impact
to the Group and in other circumstances considered appropriate.
The table below outlines Mr King’s total maximum remuneration package for 2023 and 2024. The package has been
reduced by 12% for 2024 (compared to 2023) to offset the greater certainty of the restricted rights.

Further details of Mr King’s remuneration arrangements are in the Remuneration Report in Westpac’s 2023 Annual
Report, which is available at westpac.com.au/investorcentre.
1. Reason for requesting shareholder approval
ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 requires shareholder approval for the issue of securities to a Director under an employee
incentive scheme.
To deliver LTVR, the Board decides whether shares to satisfy any vested LTVR awards will be acquired on-market or
be issued by Westpac.
While it is currently intended that shares will be acquired on-market and shareholder approval is not required, it is being
sought in order to preserve flexibility to issue shares in the event that the award vests at the end of the deferral period.
This resolution is not seeking approval for the total remuneration of the CEO, rather it relates to the issue of securities
to the CEO (as a Director) as LTVR, which is one component of his total remuneration.
If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative approaches to rewarding Mr King should
the performance conditions for the LTVR be achieved. This may include purchasing shares on-market or paying him
a cash equivalent.
Shareholder approval is also being sought for the purposes of sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act for
any potential termination benefits that may be given to Mr King in connection with the LTVR award covered by Item 3.
If approved, Mr King will be entitled to receive benefits arising through this award on termination of employment
(subject to various conditions), in addition to any other termination benefits that may be provided to him, without
further shareholder approval. If shareholder approval is provided, the value of any termination benefits that may be
received in connection with the LTVR award will be disregarded when calculating the termination benefits cap under
the Corporations Act. It is intended that this approval will remain valid during the life of equity granted to Mr King
under Item 3.
2. Terms of the LTVR award
Consistent with the remuneration strategy, the terms of LTVR are designed to:
—Align accountability and remuneration with the long term interests of shareholders by rewarding the delivery
of sustained Group performance over the long term;
—Place a significant proportion of remuneration ‘at-risk’ as vesting is subject to the achievement of performance
conditions, a service condition, and Board discretion; and
—Ensure remuneration is competitive and aligned with market remuneration in the financial services industry.
1 Includes the increase to the superannuation guarantee rate from 10.5% to 11% effective 1 July 2023.

NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING
TERMS OF THE LTVR AWARD
Quantum of awardThe Board has determined that Mr King will receive a 2024 LTVR award comprising a
maximum grant of 82,978 performance rights and 82,977 restricted rights, with a total face
value of $3,500,000.
Subject to meeting the performance conditions and other vesting criteria described below,
the maximum number of fully paid ordinary shares that may be issued to Mr King under the
2024 LTVR award is 165,955, at a deemed issue price of $21.09 per right. The rights to be
granted will be offered at nil cost to him and no amount is payable on their vesting.
The number of rights to be granted to Mr King was determined by dividing the dollar value
of the 2024 LTVR award by the market price (being the volume weighted average market
price of Westpac’s ordinary shares, as traded on the ASX and Chi-X (now known as Cboe
Australia) in the last five trading days up to 30 September 2023).
DeliveryThe LTVR award is delivered in two equally weighted components comprising performance
rights and restricted rights.
Performance rights
—Performance period: 4 years.
—Deferral period: 6 years, comprising a performance period of 4 years and a further
deferral period of 2 years. 100% of the performance rights are eligible to vest at the end
of Year 6.
Restricted rights
—Performance period: 4 years.
—Deferral period: Up to 5 years comprising a performance period of 4 years after which
50% of the restricted rights are eligible to vest (i.e. at the end of Year 4). The remaining
50% of restricted rights are eligible to vest after a further deferral period of 1 year
(i.e. at the end of Year 5).
Both performance rights and restricted rights are eligible to receive dividend equivalent
payments to the extent that rights vest.
For restricted rights, these are accrued for the performance period and the further deferral
period after the performance period, and paid at the end of the deferral period.
For performance rights, these are only accrued for the further deferral period after the
performance period and paid at the end of the deferral period.
Performance conditionsThe performance conditions must be satisfied before performance rights can vest, except in
limited circumstances (refer to the Board discretion and the cessation of employment section
described below). There is no re-testing and any rights that do not vest on testing will lapse.
Performance rights
The performance rights are subject to relative total shareholder return as outlined below.
Westpac’s total shareholder return is compared against eight Australian financial services
companies using a percentile ranking vesting schedule.
The comparator group of companies comprise: AMP Limited, Australia & New Zealand
Banking Group Limited, Bank of Queensland Limited, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited,
Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Macquarie Group Limited, National Australia Bank Limited
and Suncorp Group Limited. The Board retains discretion to amend the comparator group
and determine the overall vesting outcome as appropriate.

MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING PARTICIPATION
TERMS OF THE LTVR AWARD
Restricted rights
The restricted rights are subject to performance conditions which are assessed prior to the
grant and prior to vesting. These assessments are known as the pre-grant assessment and
the pre-vest assessment.
The assessment will be primarily based on the assessment of collective Group risk culture as
part of the Board’s annual attestation to APRA required under Prudential Standard CPS 220
Risk Management, which is a multi factorial, evidence based process. A prudential soundness
gate applies. The Board will also consider if there have been any significant risk outcomes
or any serious misconduct that have not been sufficiently addressed through performance
management or STVR outcomes.
Step 1: Assessment
RISK FACTORSASSESSMENT
1. Prudential soundnessHas Westpac remained safe and secure, taking into account
capital position and liquidity?
Prudential soundness is measured through the common
equity tier 1 capital ratio, liquidity coverage ratio and the
net stable funding ratio.
2. Group risk cultureHas Group risk culture maturity been maintained or
improved, considering both executive actions or inactions?
The risk culture assessment involves a series of inputs,
a review process and a Board assessment of Group risk
culture.
3. Significant risk outcomesHave risk outcomes arisen that have a significant and
material impact on the Group, not sufficiently addressed
elsewhere?
4. Serious misconductHas Westpac suffered from a serious misconduct issue,
not sufficiently addressed elsewhere?
Step 2: Consider Board discretion
Considerations to guide the application of discretion and the overall assessment include:
—The materiality of the adverse impact on Westpac’s financial position, or reputation,
or customers, or shareholders, or employees or regulatory standing.
—Whether the outcome was specific to Westpac, the banking industry or the broader
market.
—The extent to which performance and reward outcomes are already impacted
(e.g. through remuneration adjustments), at a collective or individual level.
—Whether any adjustment should be made on a collective or individual basis.
Given the focus on maintaining or improving Group risk culture over the performance period,
adjustments are unlikely at the pre-grant assessment and any potential adjustment is more
likely at the pre-vest assessment.
The pre-grant assessment for the 2024 LTVR restricted rights was completed and the Board
determined that no adjustment be applied.
The restricted rights remain subject to the pre-vest assessment after the four year
performance period ending 1 October 2027. The restricted rights also remain subject to
remuneration adjustments during and after this period.
Adjustment of unvested
award
The Board may adjust downwards, including to zero, the number of unvested share rights
in which case they will lapse. This may occur to respond to: serious misconduct, significant
circumstances or new information including significant error or misstatement which suggest
that the award was not justified or results in an inappropriate reward outcome, significant
failure of financial and non-financial risk management, breach of accountability obligations
or fitness and propriety, where required by law, and any other misconduct that has a
significant adverse outcome on Westpac, its customers or its people.
The Board may delay the vesting of the LTVR award if an investigation in relation to the
matters above is being conducted and in other circumstances.

NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING
TERMS OF THE LTVR AWARD
Exercise of vested rightsVested rights may be exercised up to a maximum of two years from the vesting date of the
award and will be auto-exercised if not exercised within the period. The exercise price for
the rights is zero.
ClawbackAt the discretion of the Board, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, clawback of
the shares which vest from the LTVR award will operate for up to seven years from the date
of award, or at least two years from the payment or vesting, whichever is greater.
It is anticipated that clawback would only be used in response to the same matters identified
above in the ‘Adjustment of unvested award’ section and having regard to a proportionate
response to the severity of the matter and level of individual accountability, after other
adjustment tools have been exhausted.
Cessation of employment
and early vesting
Subject to the Board’s discretion (refer to section 3 below on the Board’s discretion), all
unvested rights will lapse when Mr King’s employment with Westpac ceases, except where
the cessation of his employment:
(a) is due to retirement or retrenchment, in which case the rights are retained;
(b) is due to death, or total and permanent disablement, in which case the rights immediately
vest; or
(c) is due to an agreed separation, in which case the rights are retained unless a reduction is
determined to be appropriate.
Change of controlIf a change of control event occurs, the Board may determine the number of rights that
become exercisable and vest, having regard to the proportion of the deferral period served
and Mr King’s performance against the relevant performance conditions as at the date the
change of control event occurs.
In addition, the CEO and Group Executives are required to build and maintain a significant Westpac shareholding to
strengthen alignment with shareholder interests. The sale of any shares that may be delivered to Mr King from the 2024
LTVR award is conditional on meeting the minimum shareholding requirement (except for the purposes of meeting tax
obligations).
3. Termination benefits
Early vesting of Mr King’s LTVR awards or a decision to allow the rights to be retained in connection with Mr King’s
cessation of employment may amount to providing a termination benefit.
The Board also has discretion in relation to the rights where Mr King ceases employment under certain circumstances that
do not involve serious misconduct and where early vesting of the rights is not otherwise prohibited by law. This discretion
enables the Board to vest the rights or determine that the rights are retained, subject to the performance conditions.
The Board may determine to exercise this discretion in relation to awards in circumstances where Mr King’s employment
ceases without fault on his part. In determining whether to exercise discretion, the Board will consider all relevant
circumstances, which may include Westpac’s performance against applicable performance conditions at the date of
cessation, as well as Mr King’s individual performance and the period that has passed from the date of grant to the date
of cessation.
The value of termination benefits that may be given to Mr King as a result of early vesting of any of his awards, or the
exercise of the Board’s discretion that his rights will not lapse, cannot be determined in advance. This is because, in
addition to the factors listed above, the value at the date of cessation of employment will also depend upon:
—The number of securities initially granted as part of the LTVR awards;
—The date when, and the circumstances in which, employment ceases;
—Westpac’s share price at the relevant date of vesting; and
—The number of unvested securities held at the time of cessation.

Item 5
Westpac Climate Change Position Statement and Action Plan
Shareholders are asked to support Westpac’s Climate Change Position Statement and Action Plan which
is included within Westpac’s 2023 Climate Report and summarised in Westpac’s 2023 Annual Report.
Westpac believes climate change will impact the economy and our customers and therefore it is a risk that must be
managed. We are already beginning to see the impacts on our business, customers, and on society. For example, this
includes more disruptions from major weather events and changes in the price and availability of insurance. We anticipate
these impacts will only increase unless action is taken. As a result, we believe it is in the best interests of the Company
and shareholders that we work to actively mitigate the risks of climate change through our operations and our activities.
Given this view, and the significant focus of many shareholders on this topic, we are putting forward this non-binding
resolution. While Westpac’s climate strategy is a matter to be determined by the Board in the best interests of the
Company, we believe submitting this resolution is an opportunity to foster further shareholder engagement.
This resolution seeks support for our Climate Change Position Statement and Action Plan (CCPS). The CCPS is included
as an Appendix in our 2023 Climate Report and summarised in our 2023 Annual Report. These can be accessed at
westpac.com.au/investorcentre.
Westpac’s CCPS sets out our positions on key climate change risks and opportunities for our business, customers, and
the communities in which we operate. It provides the framework for how we seek to conduct business, support customers
and engage with stakeholders. It also outlines the actions and targets aimed at helping us achieve our ambition of
becoming a net-zero, climate resilient bank.
The three key action areas in our CCPS are summarised below.
NET-ZERO AND CLIMATE
RESILIENCE IN OUR OPERATIONS
SUPPORTING CUSTOMERS’ TRANSITION
TO NET-ZERO AND TO BUILD THEIR
CLIMATE RESILIENCE
COLLABORATE FOR IMPACT ON
INITIATIVES TOWARDS NET-ZERO
AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE
We are committed to reducing
the climate change impacts of our
operations, aligned with a 1.5°C
pathway. This includes:
—Targets to reduce our operational
scope 1 and 2 absolute greenhouse
gas emissions.
—Plans to source the equivalent
of 100% of our global electricity
consumption from renewables
by 2025.
—Target to reduce our scope 3
upstream emissions.
—Offsetting our residual emissions.
—Working to better assess the physical
risks in our operations and build our
climate resilience.
This includes seeking to align our
lending portfolio with net-zero
emissions by 2050, consistent with
a maximum temperature rise of 1.5°C
pathway including:
—Setting financed emissions targets
and positions for certain carbon
intensive sectors where we provide
lending. This includes for the thermal
coal mining and upstream oil and
gas sectors.
—Aiming to become the transition
partner of choice for customers by
mobilising capital and by offering
products and services to effectively
meet their emerging needs.
—Seeking to help customers to
understand and better respond to
the impacts of climate change. This
includes providing products and
services that support resilience.
We also aim to continue supporting
customers get back on their feet
after natural disasters.
Being a strong advocate for change,
supporting and participating in
international, national, and industry-
based initiatives to progress collective
action on climate change.
WESTPAC GROUP 2023 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING PARTICIPATION
Westpac’s Board is responsible for defining, setting and
approving Westpac’s strategy, including our response
to climate change, while the CEO has accountability for
delivery of the strategy.
Westpac values shareholder feedback and, while this
item is advisory, the Board will take the outcome of the
vote into account when considering its climate change
strategy and plans, including updating the CCPS where
the Board considers appropriate. The Board is not
asking shareholders to approve our CCPS. That is the
responsibility of the Board and management. As with
our overarching strategy, we expect to hold ourselves
accountable for progress.
The CCPS is complemented by a suite of position
statements for sensitive sectors and related sustainability
issues.
Westpac reports its climate progress annually in its
Annual Report and Climate Report, including targets and
progress on its scope 1 and 2 operational emissions, scope
3 upstream emissions, and its scope 3 financed emissions
(emissions associated with lending). We also provide
updates on climate change opportunities including green
and transition finance.
Reinforcing our commitments, we have climate change
objectives in the 2024 Scorecard for the CEO and relevant
business Group Executives.
The Board recommends shareholders vote in
favour of Item 5.
The Chairman of the AGM intends to vote all
available proxies in favour of this Item.
Item 6
Resolutions requisitioned
by shareholders (not
supported by the Board)
A group of shareholders has proposed
two resolutions under section 249N of the
Corporations Act and requested pursuant to
section 249P of the Corporations Act that the
statements set out in Appendix 1 to this Notice
of Meeting be provided to shareholders.
The first resolution, Item 6(a) proposes an amendment to
Westpac’s Constitution, while the second (which depends
on Item 6(a) being approved) requests further disclosure
on Transition Plan Assessments.
Item 6(a)
Requisitioned resolution to amend
Westpac’s Constitution
The resolution in Item 6(a) proposes to amend Westpac’s
Constitution to allow shareholders in a general meeting,
by non-binding resolution, to express an opinion or
request information about the way in which the power of
the Company vested in Directors has been or should be
exercised if the matter relates to a material risk identified
by Directors. This resolution is proposed as a special
resolution and, to be passed, must be passed by at least
75% of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on
the resolution.
The Board’s response
The Board supports the rights of shareholders to seek
amendments to the Constitution, however it does not
consider the proposed change to be in shareholders’ best
interests. Westpac is a large organisation operating in a
complex financial services landscape. The Constitution
vests power in the Board to oversee those operations and
Westpac’s governance structures have been implemented
to facilitate that oversight. In discharging this role, Directors
represent the interests of all shareholders, balancing
the interests of various other stakeholders. To do this
effectively the Board must have clear authority to make
decisions about the management of the Company so it can
meet its legal obligation to act in the best interests of the
Company and all shareholders. The proposed amendment,
if approved, would also make Westpac’s Constitution
inconsistent with the constitutions of other ASX listed
companies.

ATTENDING THE
AGM IN PERSON
EXPLANATORY NOTESHOW TO VOTE
NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING
Westpac provides various opportunities for shareholders
to engage directly with the Company through its
established feedback mechanisms and the Board already
seeks the views of shareholders through these channels.
For example, shareholders can engage directly via the
Investor Relations and Group Sustainability teams, and by
asking questions or making comments at the AGM. Senior
executives, including the Chairman of the Board where
appropriate, also meet with investors and campaigner
special interest groups to seek their views. This includes
meeting with Market Forces who has led the submission
of this Item.
This year, at the AGM, we have included an additional
way shareholders can provide feedback and engage with
Westpac through the non-binding advisory resolution on
our CCPS.
The Board does not believe that the constitutional
amendment proposed in Item 6(a) will improve the ability
for shareholders as a whole to provide feedback on how
Westpac is managed.
Accordingly, the Board does not believe that the resolution
to change the Constitution is in the best interests of the
Company.
The Board recommends shareholders vote
against Item 6(a).
The Chairman of the AGM intends to vote all
available proxies against this Item.
Item 6(b)
Requisitioned resolution on
Transition Plan Assessments
Item 6(b) is an ‘advisory resolution’ and may be properly
considered at the AGM only if Item 6(a) is passed by a
special resolution. This means if Item 6(a) is not passed,
Item 6(b) will not be put to a vote at the AGM.
The Board’s response
This shareholder requisitioned resolution, Item 6(b),
requests disclosure of two matters, both of which are
broadly covered in our 2023 Climate Report. Our Climate
Report includes our Climate Change Position Statement
and Action Plan (CCPS) which we are putting before
shareholders as a separate Westpac-led, non-binding
resolution (see Item 5).
As a result, this resolution is unnecessary, and we
recommend shareholders vote against it.
Westpac has significant public disclosure on climate related
matters. However, as the two requests in this resolution do
not exactly align with our disclosures, our position on each
request is summarised below.
Westpac firmly believes climate change is a risk that
needs to be managed now. Our climate change strategy,
commitments and progress are summarised in our 2023
Annual Report with more detail in our 2023 Climate
Report.
It is important to note that our exposure to fossil fuels
has reduced over time and is relatively small. Our total
committed exposure (TCE)
3
to the fossil fuel value chain
(extraction through to distribution) is less than 1% of our
TCE. We recognise though that a large portion of our total
financed emissions can be attributed to our exposure to
the fossil fuel sectors. We also recognise that the transition
to renewables will need to be flexible to ensure we are able
to support the electrification of the economy.
On point 1 in the resolution for Item 6(b). Our approach
to fossil fuel lending varies by sector, reflecting the roles
different fossil fuels play in Australia and New Zealand’s
decarbonisation journey. This includes 2030 financed
emission reduction targets for our lending to the fossil fuel
sectors. Sector positions support these targets by outlining
our approach to new and renewed lending.
A summary of our 2030 targets and positions for
key fossil fuel and related sectors follows, noting that
the information below is in summary form. For full
information see our 2023 Climate Report, which contains
complete information on our 2030 targets, sector
positions and sector definitions.
3 Total committed exposure (TCE) includes both on-balance sheet lending and committed but undrawn facilities such as undrawn portions of overdrafts.

SECTORSUMMARY OF SELECTED 2030 LENDING TARGETS AND SECTOR POSITIONS
Thermal coal miningOur sector position states we will not provide any project financing to new, expansions or
extensions of thermal coal mines. We will also have zero lending by 30 September 2025 for
Institutional customers with greater than or equal to 15% of their revenue coming directly from
thermal coal mining. For diversified companies with more than 5% of their revenue coming
directly from thermal coal mining we have a target of zero lending by 2030.
Upstream oil and gasOur target is to reduce our absolute financed emissions (scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions) for this
sector by 23% between 2021 and 2030. Additionally, our sector position states:
Subject to national energy security
4
:
—we will not provide project finance or bond facilitation for the development of new (greenfield)
or expansionary oil and gas fields, including new associated dedicated infrastructure, unless
in accordance with the International Energy Agency Net-Zero by 2050 scenario (2021).
—we will continue to provide corporate lending and bond facilitation where the customer has
a credible transition plan in place by 30 September 2025.
—we will work with customers to support development of their transition plans.
Power generationOur target is to reduce the emissions intensity of our power generation lending (scope 1 and 2
emissions) from 2021 to 2030.
Our sector position indicates we will not provide project finance to new (greenfield) coal fired
power generation facilities.
Steel productionOur target is to reduce the emissions intensity of our steel production lending (scope 1 and 2
emissions) from 2021 to 2030. Our related metallurgical coal sector position indicates we will
not provide project finance for new (greenfield) metallurgical coal projects.
On point 2 in the resolution for Item 6(b). Westpac has developed a pilot framework for assessing customer transition
plans in our Institutional bank. That framework is detailed in our Climate Report and has five elements:
1. Targets: Details of emission reduction targets customers may have set.
2. Strategy: Initiatives to achieve targets and their timing.
3. Capital allocation: How companies are allocating resources to emission reduction projects.
4. Reporting: Details provided publicly on climate change related plans and progress.
5. Governance: Board experience and involvement in climate change matters.
We have already applied this pilot framework to some of our high-emitting Institutional customers and expect to expand
its use with more customers in the year ahead. As above, our upstream oil and gas position provides that customers will
need to have credible transition plans in place by 2025. For confidentiality reasons we cannot comment on individual
customer transition plan assessments, or their outcomes.
We recognise the importance of reducing our financed emissions in the fossil fuel sectors over time, and our plans and
targets reflect this. We also have a role in supporting customers to transition to a lower carbon future and doing so in an
orderly way. We believe our approach strikes the right balance for customers and for the Australian and New Zealand
economies.
Given the above, particularly our significant disclosures and clear climate strategy, this shareholder requisitioned
resolution is unnecessary.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote against the advisory resolution in Item 6(b).
In the event this Item is put to the vote at the AGM, the Chairman of the AGM intends to vote all available
proxies against this Item.
4 National energy security refers to circumstances where an Australian or New Zealand Government or regulator determines (or takes a formal public
position) that additional supply is necessary for national energy security and Westpac’s funding can support such additional supply.

GENERAL MEETING
APPENDIX
Appendix 1 Supporting Statements
provided by Market Forces and
Australian Ethical Investments Ltd
pursuant to section 249P of the
Corporations Act
The shareholders who requisitioned the
resolutions in Items 6(a) and 6(b) have requested,
pursuant to section 249P of the Corporations Act,
that the following statements accompany the
resolutions.
Westpac is legally required to circulate the
statements to shareholders and was not involved
in the preparation of the statements. The Board
and the Company are not responsible for the
contents of the statements or for any inaccurate
or misleading statements contained in them.
References to “we” in these statements are to the
requisitioning shareholders, not Westpac. The
statements are not endorsed by the Board.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote
against Item 6(a) and, if put to the meeting,
against Item 6(b).
Supporting Statement 1
Shareholder resolutions are a healthy part of corporate
democracy in many jurisdictions other than Australia. For
example, in the UK shareholders can consider resolutions
seeking to explicitly direct the conduct of the board. In the
US, New Zealand and Canada shareholders can consider
resolutions seeking to advise their board as to how it
should act. As a matter of practice, typically, unless the
board permits it, Australian shareholders cannot follow
the example of their UK, US, New Zealand or Canadian
counterparts in this respect.
A board of directors is a steward for shareholders and
accountability for the discharge of that stewardship is
essential to long-term corporate prosperity.
In some situations, the appropriate course of action for
shareholders dissatisfied with the conduct or performance
of the board is to seek to remove directors individually.
However, in many situations a better course of action is to
formally and publicly allow shareholders the opportunity
at shareholder meetings to alert board members that the
shareholders seek more information or favour a particular
approach to corporate policy.
The constitution of Westpac is not conducive to the rights
of shareholders to place resolutions on the agenda of a
shareholder meeting. This is contrary to the long-term
interests of Westpac, its board, and shareholders.
Passage of this resolution – to amend the Westpac
constitution – will simply put the company in a similar
position in regard to shareholder resolutions as any listed
company in the UK, US, Canada or New Zealand.
We encourage shareholders to vote in favour of this
resolution.
Supporting Statement 2
Despite committing to the 1.5°C target of the Paris
Agreement and net zero global emissions by 2050,
Westpac continues to finance fossil fuel expansion,
undermining these goals and exposing our company
to increased climate-related financial, legal, regulatory,
and reputational risks.
Westpac therefore has both the imperative and the
opportunity to ensure alignment with its climate
commitments by addressing crucial gaps in the bank’s
currently disclosed approach to fossil fuel lending.
Based on Westpac’s current disclosures, the bank will not
require companies in many critical fossil fuel sub-sectors
to have credible climate change transition plans aligned
with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement in order to
provide further finance. While Westpac has stated it will
require such plans of upstream oil and gas companies by
2025 before providing corporate finance,
5
the bank has
failed to make the same commitment for other fossil fuel
sub-sectors – such as metallurgical coal mining or thermal
power generation – which similarly threaten to undermine
the climate goals Westpac claims to support.
The bank has failed to explain why it would neglect to
assess the plans of companies in these other fossil fuel
sectors for alignment with the Paris Agreement’s goals
before providing further finance to support those plans.
A clearly articulated commitment and process to assess
all fossil fuel customers’ plans for alignment with a 1.5°C
warming pathway is required to live up to Westpac’s own
climate commitments and meet regulator, investor, and
community expectations.
Financing fossil fuel expansion
The gaps in Westpac’s current policies have enabled
our company to continue providing billions to fossil fuel
expansion, which undermines the Paris goals.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
has confirmed projected emissions from the planned
lifetimes of existing fossil fuel infrastructure would
significantly exceed the carbon budget remaining to limit
global warming to 1.5°C.

WESTPAC GROUP 2023 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
22
MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIRMAN
ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING PARTICIPATION
The International Energy Agency (IEA) concluded in 2021
that reaching net zero emissions by 2050 means no new
or expanded coal mines and no new oil and gas fields
should be approved
7
, largely reiterating this finding in
2022
8
and 2023.
9
Westpac has relied on the IEA’s Net Zero
by 2050 scenario (NZE) to develop some of its climate
policies, yet has failed to align its lending with the NZE’s
critical conclusion that there can be no new oil and gas
fields developed.
The UN-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), of
which Westpac is a member, has also categorically stated it
“does not support the financing of fossil fuel expansion.”
10
Yet in 2022 alone, Westpac loaned:
—A$125 million to Woodside, which has sanctioned two
major new oil and gas field developments since the
IEA’s NZE report and plans to increase production by
45% from 2022 to 2027.
11
Meanwhile the latest NZE
projects global oil and gas production must fall 20%
this decade.
12
—$65 million to Santos, which sanctioned the new Pikka
oil field in August 2022,
13
is targeting a final investment
decision on Papua LNG in 2024,
14
and has plans to
increase production by 60% from 2022 to 2030.
15
—$290 million to Global Infrastructure Partners to
acquire a stake in the Pluto 2 LNG project – a deal
which facilitated the development of the massive new
Scarborough gas field.
16
Until July 2023, our company maintained a credit facility
to Australia’s biggest undiversified coal miner, Whitehaven
Coal.
17
In May 2023, while its loan was active, Whitehaven
Coal announced plans to start production at the new
Vickery thermal coal mine.
18
Westpac loaned a total of $1.1 billion to fossil fuel expansion
in 2022, more than five times its peer Commonwealth
Bank.
19
Commonwealth Bank has also committed
20
to no
longer providing corporate finance, trade finance or bond
facilitation to oil and/or gas producing, metallurgical coal
mining and coal-fired power generation clients that do not
have climate transition plans in place by 2025. These plans
will be assessed using a framework based on the Climate
Action 100+ benchmark, must include scope 1, 2 and 3
emissions targets, and will be verified by an independent
third-party.
21
Westpac’s financing continues to facilitate fossil fuel
expansion that is incompatible with global climate goals.
The bank must disclose a credible and comprehensive plan
to assess all fossil fuel finance for alignment with a 1.5°C
pathway to address the glaring inconsistency between its
climate commitments and its financing activities.
Regulatory and legal risk
Australian misleading and deceptive conduct law requires
companies to have a reasonable basis for making climate-
related statements, including net zero commitments.
22
The misalignment between Westpac’s Paris and net zero
commitments and its ongoing financing of new fossil fuels
enlivens this ‘greenwashing’ risk. As stated by the chair
of a UN High-Level Expert Group focused on corporate
net-zero claims: “Non-state actors cannot claim to be
net zero while continuing to build or invest in new fossil
fuel supply.”
23
The Australian Senate is currently conducting an
inquiry into greenwashing,
24
and regulators have begun
taking enforcement action on misconduct in this area.
ASIC’s greenwashing interventions report states “We
identified net zero statements and targets, and claims of
decarbonisation, that did not appear to have a reasonable
basis”,
25
while ACCC’s greenwashing guidance states that
companies must have “reasonable grounds” for making
environmental claims.
26
Without disclosing a comprehensive and credible
approach to assess the transition plans of fossil fuel
customers, Westpac does not have a reasonable basis
for its commitments to the Paris Agreement and net
zero emissions by 2050, leaving the bank open to
greenwashing challenges.
This resolution presents an opportunity for Westpac to
address these risks and take a position as a true climate
leader.
We urge shareholders to vote in favour of this resolution.

warming to 1.5°C’
