IMPORTANT NOTICE



Introduction:

This Information Memorandum (the “Information Memorandum”) serves to amend an existing

Australian Dollar Debt Issuance Programme (the “Programme”) of the Australia and New Zealand

Banking Group Limited (ABN 11 005 357 522) (the “Issuer”), the most recent Information

Memorandum for which was dated 9 August 2023 (the “Existing Programme”) for the offering, sale

and issuance of Medium Term Notes and Subordinated Medium Term Notes (“Subordinated Notes”).

In this Information Memorandum, unless otherwise specified, the term “Notes” includes both Medium

Term Notes and Subordinated Notes.

The Issuer is an indirect subsidiary of ANZ Group Holdings Limited (ACN 659 510 791) (“ANZGHL”)

and in this Information Memorandum references to the “ANZ Group” are references to ANZGHL and

its subsidiaries. The Notes are not guaranteed by any person, including ANZGHL. In particular,

ANZGHL does not (i) issue Notes under this Programme; (ii) guarantee the Issuer’s obligations

generally or in connection with the Notes; (iii) have any obligations in respect of Medium Term Notes

issued by the Issuer under this Programme; or (iv) have any obligations in respect of Subordinated

Notes issued by the Issuer under this Programme, except to the extent that such Subordinated Notes

are subject to Conversion into the ordinary shares of ANZGHL (“ANZGHL Ordinary Shares”) as

provided in the terms of the Subordinated Notes.

Notes issued under the Existing Programme:

Notes issued by the Issuer under the Existing Programme prior to the date of this Information

Memorandum and any additional tranches of Notes of existing series of Notes will continue to have the

benefit of the deed poll dated 26 February 2007, 28 November 2008, 10 August 2010, 14 February

2012, 8 April 2014, 3 August 2015, 21 February 2017, 15 October 2018, 11 March 2021, 7 December

2022 or 9 August 2023 (or such other relevant deed poll as applicable), and any agreements relating

to such Notes entered into on or about the date of the applicable deed poll (as supplemented, amended,

modified or replaced by the applicable Pricing Supplement for those Notes (“Pricing Supplement”)).

Issuer’s responsibility:

This Information Memorandum has been prepared by and issued with the authority of the Issuer. The

Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Information Memorandum.

No independent advice:

This Information Memorandum has been prepared for distribution to professional investors whose

ordinary business includes buying and selling debt securities as principal or agent.

Each potential investor in or purchaser of Notes should determine (and will be taken to have

determined) for itself the financial condition and affairs of the Issuer and the relevance and sufficiency

of the information contained in this Information Memorandum or the documents and information

incorporated by reference or any other financial statements. Such purchase or acquisition of Notes

should be (and will be deemed as having been) based upon the investor’s own independent

investigation of the financial condition and affairs and their own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the

Issuer, after taking all appropriate advice from qualified professional persons. Any investment decision

should be based on that decision, investigation and appraisal and not on this Information Memorandum.

None of the Dealers or the Arranger undertakes to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer

during the life of the arrangements contemplated by this Information Memorandum nor to advise any

investor or potential investor in the Notes of any information coming to the attention of any of the Dealers

or the Arranger.

No advice is given in respect of the taxation treatment of potential investors or purchasers in connection

with investment in any Notes or the legal consequences of such an acquisition and each investor or

purchaser should consult its own professional adviser.

No authorisation:

No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation other than those

contained in this Information Memorandum in connection with the Issuer or the ANZ Group, the issue


3


or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon

as having been authorised by the Issuer or any of the Dealers or the Arranger (each as defined below

in the “Summary of Programme”).

Currency of information:

Neither the delivery of this Information Memorandum nor any offer, issue or sale made in connection

herewith shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the

affairs of the Issuer or the ANZ Group since the date hereof or the date upon which this Information

Memorandum has been most recently amended or supplemented or that there has been no adverse

change in the financial position of the Issuer or the ANZ Group since the date hereof or the date upon

which this Information Memorandum has been most recently amended or supplemented or that any

other information supplied in connection with this Programme is correct as of any time subsequent to

the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document containing the same.

Distribution arrangements:

The distribution of this Information Memorandum and the issuance, offering or sale of the Notes in

certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Information

Memorandum or interests in or rights in respect of the Notes come are required by the Issuer, the

Dealers and the Arranger to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.

No action has been taken by the Issuer, the Arranger or the Dealers which would permit a public offering

of any Notes or distribution of this Information Memorandum in any jurisdiction where action for that

purpose is required.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as

amended (the “Securities Act”). Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered, sold or

delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons. For a description of certain restrictions on

acceptance, offers, issues and sales of the Notes and on distribution of this Information Memorandum,

see “Subscription and Sale”.

Neither this Information Memorandum nor any Pricing Supplement constitutes an offer of, or an

invitation by or on behalf of any of the Issuer, the Dealers or the Arranger to subscribe for, purchase or

acquire any Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, the Arranger, the

relevant Dealers or any of them that any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any Pricing

Supplement should subscribe for or purchase any Notes. Each recipient of this Information

Memorandum or any Pricing Supplement shall be taken to have made its own investigation and

appraisal of the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer and the ANZ Group.

Notification under Section 309B(1) of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 of Singapore (the

"SFA"):

In connection with Section 309B of the SFA and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products)

Regulations 2018 of Singapore (“CMP Regulations 2018”), unless otherwise specified in the Pricing

Supplement, the Issuer has determined and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in

Section 309A(1) of the SFA) that the Notes issued or to be issued under this Programme shall be

prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded

Investment Products (as defined in the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the "MAS") Notice SFA 04-

N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on

Recommendations on Investment Products).

Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors:

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,

sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For

these purposes, a “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined

in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within

the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where

that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID

II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as

amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them

available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or


4


otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs

Regulation.

Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors:

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,

sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom (“UK”). For these

purposes, a “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in

point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law in the UK by virtue

of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, the “EUWA”); or (ii) a customer within the

meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”)

and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that

customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation

(EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the UK by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no

key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law

in the UK by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or

otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering

or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful

under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

No retail product distribution conduct:

This Information Memorandum and the Notes are not for distribution to any person in Australia who is

a retail client for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act. No target market determination

has been or will be made for the purposes of Part 7.8A of the Corporations Act.

Important notice to prospective investors - Hong Kong Code of Conduct for Persons Licensed

by or Registered with the Securities and Futures Commission (paragraph 21 – bookbuilding

and placing):

Prospective investors should be aware that certain intermediaries in the context of certain offerings of

Notes pursuant to the program (each such offering, a “CMI Offering”), including certain Dealers, may

be “capital market intermediaries” (“CMI”) subject to paragraph 21 of the Code of Conduct for Persons

Licensed by or Registered with the Securities and Futures Commission (the “SFC Code”). This notice

to prospective investors is a summary of certain obligations the SFC Code imposes on such CMIs,

which require the attention and cooperation of prospective investors. Certain CMIs may also be acting

as “overall coordinators” (“OCs”) for a CMI Offering and are subject to additional requirements under

the SFC Code. The application of these obligations will depend on the role(s) undertaken by the relevant

Dealer(s) in respect of each CMI Offering.

Prospective investors who are the directors, employees or major shareholders of the Issuer, a CMI or

its group companies would be considered under the SFC Code as having an association

(“Association”) with the Issuer, the CMI or the relevant group company. Prospective investors

associated with the Issuer, or any CMI (including its group companies) should specifically disclose this

when placing an order for the relevant Notes and should disclose, at the same time, if such orders may

negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to the relevant CMI Offering. Prospective

investors who do not disclose their Associations are hereby deemed not to be so associated. Where

prospective investors disclose their Associations but do not disclose that such order may negatively

impact the price discovery process in relation to the relevant CMI Offering, such order is hereby deemed

not to negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to the relevant CMI Offering.

Prospective investors should ensure, and by placing an order prospective investors are deemed to

confirm, that orders placed are bona fide, are not inflated and do not constitute duplicated orders (i.e.,

two or more corresponding or identical orders placed via two or more CMIs). A rebate may be offered

by the Issuer to all private banks for orders they place (other than in relation to Notes subscribed by

such private banks as principal whereby it is deploying its own balance sheet for onward selling to

investors), payable upon closing of the relevant CMI Offering based on the principal amount of the

Notes distributed by such private banks to investors. Private banks are deemed to be placing an order

on a principal basis unless they inform the CMIs otherwise. As a result, private banks placing an order

on a principal basis (including those deemed as placing an order as principal) will not be entitled to, and

will not be paid, the rebate. Details of any such rebate will be set out in the applicable Pricing

Supplement or otherwise notified to prospective investors.


5


If a prospective investor is an asset management arm affiliated with any relevant Dealer, such

prospective investor should indicate when placing an order if it is for a fund or portfolio where the

relevant Dealer or its group company has more than 50 per cent. interest, in which case it will be

classified as a “proprietary order” and subject to appropriate handling by CMIs in accordance with the

SFC Code and should disclose, at the same time, if such “proprietary order” may negatively impact the

price discovery process in relation to the relevant CMI Offering. Prospective investors who do not

indicate this information when placing an order are hereby deemed to confirm that their order is not a

“proprietary order.” If a prospective investor is otherwise affiliated with any relevant Dealer, such that

its order may be considered to be a “proprietary order” (pursuant to the SFC Code), such prospective

investor should indicate to the relevant Dealer when placing such order. Prospective investors who do

not indicate this information when placing an order are hereby deemed to confirm that their order is not

a “proprietary order.” Where prospective investors disclose such information but do not disclose that

such “proprietary order” may negatively impact the price discovery process in relation to the relevant

CMI Offering, such “proprietary order” is hereby deemed not to negatively impact the price discovery

process in relation to the relevant CMI Offering.

Prospective investors should be aware that certain information may be disclosed by CMIs (including

private banks) which is personal and/or confidential in nature to the prospective investor. By placing an

order, prospective investors are deemed to have understood and consented to the collection,

disclosure, use and transfer of such information by the relevant Dealers and/or any other third parties

as may be required by the SFC Code, including to the Issuer, OCs, relevant regulators and/or any other

third parties as may be required by the SFC Code, it being understood and agreed that such information

shall only be used for the purpose of complying with the SFC Code, during the bookbuilding process

for the relevant CMI Offering. Failure to provide such information may result in that order being rejected.

No independent verification:

The Dealers and the Arranger have not separately verified the information contained in this Information

Memorandum. None of the Dealers or the Arranger makes any representation, express or implied, or

accepts any responsibility, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information in

this Information Memorandum. Neither this Information Memorandum nor any document or information

incorporated by reference herein is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation and

should not be considered as a recommendation by any of the Issuer, the Dealers or the Arranger that

any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any document or information incorporated by

reference herein should purchase or acquire any Notes. The Dealer and the Arranger, if the same legal

entity as the Issuer, act solely through a separate division of the Issuer in the context of this Information

Memorandum and the Programme, without reference to any of its or its subsidiaries’ respective

personnel or operations outside that division, and therefore, are not to be taken to be aware of any

matters within the knowledge of such personnel or operations relating to the Issuer or the Programme.

Fees:

Each Dealer, its subsidiaries, directors and employees may receive fees, brokerage and commissions

and may act as principal in dealing in any Notes.

Under the Programme, the Issuer may from time to time issue Notes as set out herein. A summary of

the terms and conditions of the Programme and the Notes appears below. The applicable terms of any

Note will be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer prior to the issuance of the Notes and

will be set out in the Conditions of the Notes incorporated by reference into the Notes, as modified and

supplemented by the relevant Pricing Supplement (as defined below) in respect of such Notes.

Unless otherwise defined in this Information Memorandum, words and expressions defined or used in

the “Conditions of the Notes” below, as amended by any relevant Pricing Supplement in respect of a

Series of Notes, or in that Pricing Supplement (as applicable), shall have the same meanings in this

Information Memorandum.

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMME

The following summary does not purport to be complete and is taken from, and is qualified in its entirety

by, the remainder of this Information Memorandum and, in relation to the terms and conditions of any

particular Tranche of Notes, the relevant Pricing Supplement. Words and expressions defined or used

in the “Conditions of the Notes” below or any Pricing Supplement in respect of any Series of Notes (as

applicable) shall have the same meanings in this summary. This summary must be read as an

introduction to this Information Memorandum and any decision to invest in the Notes should be based

on a consideration of this Information Memorandum as a whole, including the information and

documents incorporated by reference.


Issuer: Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Description: An Australian Dollar denominated Debt Issuance Programme

allowing for the issuance of Medium Term Notes and Subordinated

Notes.

Programme Size: Unlimited.

Arranger: Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Dealers: Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Additional Dealers may be appointed, from time to time, by the

Issuer for any Tranche of Notes.

Direct Issues by Issuer: The Issuer may also issue Notes directly to purchasers or investors

(as applicable) procured by it. Such purchasers will be required to

confirm and acknowledge to the Issuer in writing that the issue of the

Notes resulted from the Notes being offered for issue as a result of

negotiations being initiated publicly in electronic form (e.g. Thomson

Reuters or Bloomberg), or in another form that was used by financial

markets for dealing in debentures.

Method of Issue or

Acceptance of Notes:

Notes will be issued on a syndicated or a non-syndicated basis.

Notes may be issued by the Issuer in one or more Series having one

or more Issue Dates and on terms otherwise identical (or identical

other than in respect of the first payment of interest and related

matters described below), with the Notes of each Series being

intended to be interchangeable with all other Notes of those Series.

Each Series of Notes may be issued in Tranches on the same or

different Issue Dates. The specific terms of each Tranche (which will

be supplemented, where necessary, with supplemental terms and

conditions and, save in respect of the Issue Date, Issue Price, first

payment of interest and principal amount of the Tranche, will be

identical to the terms of other Tranches of the same Series) will be

set out in a Pricing Supplement.

Issue Price: Notes may be issued at their principal amount or at a discount or

premium to their principal amount.

Form of Notes: Notes will be issued in registered form. Notes will be constituted by

a deed poll dated 20 June 2001 as last amended and restated on 17

September 2025 and as further amended and/or restated and/or

supplemented from time to time (“Deed Poll”) made by the Issuer for

the benefit of the Holders of those Notes from time to time and will

take the form of entries on a Register maintained by the Registrar. A

copy of the Deed Poll may be inspected during normal business

hours at the offices of the Issuer or the Registrar or such other place


9


or places as may be determined from time to time and notified to the

Holders.

The terms and conditions of the Notes (“Conditions”) are contained

in Schedule 1 to the Deed Poll and are modified and supplemented

by the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Title: Entry of the name of the person in the Register in respect of a Note

constitutes the obtaining or passing of title and is conclusive

evidence that the person so entered is the Holder of the Notes.

No certificates or other evidence of title will be issued to Holders

unless the Issuer determines that certificates should be made

available or it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or

regulation. Notes that are held in the Austraclear System will be

registered in the name of Austraclear Ltd and title to the Notes will be

determined in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations.

Payments:

Payments will be made on the payment dates specified in the Pricing

Supplement to the Holder whose name is entered in the Register as

at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

Payments in respect of Notes lodged within the Austraclear System

will be made by crediting the amount due to the account of the

Holder in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations. If Notes are

not lodged in the Austraclear System, payments will be made to the

account of the Holder noted on the Register. If no account is notified

then payments will be made by cheque mailed on the Business Day

immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date or on the

Maturity Date (as applicable) to the Holder at its address appearing

on the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the

relevant Record Date.

Maturities: Any maturity, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory

requirements. The Maturity Date applicable to each Tranche of

Notes will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Denominations: Notes will be issued in such denominations as may be specified as

the Specified Denominations in the relevant Pricing Supplement

subject to compliance with all applicable legal and/or regulatory

and/or central bank requirements.

Notes may only be issued in Australia if the aggregate consideration

payable by the investor or purchaser is at least A$500,000

(disregarding moneys lent by the Issuer or its associates) or if the

Notes are otherwise issued in a manner that does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 (disregarding

section 708(19)) or Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)

(“Corporations Act”) and does not constitute an offer to a “retail

client” as defined for the purposes of section 761G of the

Corporations Act.

Notes may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or

jurisdictions other than Australia if the issue is in compliance with the

laws of the jurisdiction in which the issue is made and the Notes are

otherwise issued in a manner that does not require disclosure to

investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those jurisdictions.

Transfer of Notes and

issue of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares:

Notes may only be transferred in accordance with the Conditions.

Transfers of Notes held in the Austraclear System or any other

clearing system specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement will be


10


made in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations or the rules

and regulations of the relevant clearing system (as appropriate).

In the case of Subordinated Notes, if a Non-Viability Trigger Event

occurs and the Subordinated Notes are to be Converted into

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares, such ANZGHL Ordinary Shares will be

issued to the person who is a Participant (as defined in the

Austraclear Regulations) in the Austraclear System (or, in certain

circumstances, to another person nominated by the Issuer).

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are not tradeable in the Austraclear

System. Subordinated Notes must be Converted immediately on the

occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event (as described further

below in “Additional Note Risks (Subordinated Notes)”) and this may

affect or disrupt trading or other transactions in connection with the

Subordinated Notes. Neither the Issuer nor ANZGHL is responsible

for any such effects or disruptions and the consequences of any

Conversion or Write-Off for persons interested in the Subordinated

Notes in a clearing system are matters for the rules, regulations and

procedures of Austraclear or other clearing system specified in the

relevant Pricing Supplement and the terms of any dealings between

persons interested in the Subordinated Notes.

In all other cases, applications for the transfer of Notes must be

made by lodgement of a duly completed (if applicable) stamped

transfer and acceptance form with the Registrar. Transfer and

acceptance forms can be obtained from the Registrar. The transfer

takes effect upon the transferee’s name being entered on the

Register.

Notes are only transferable within, to or from Australia in the

denominations specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and

Notes may only be transferred within, to or from Australia if the

aggregate consideration payable by the transferee at the time of

transfer is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the

transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not

require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2

(disregarding section 708(19)) or Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act,

and provided in each case that the transfer does not constitute an

offer to a “retail client” as defined for the purposes of section 761G of

the Corporations Act.

Notes may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or

jurisdictions other than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with

the laws of the jurisdiction in which transfer takes place and the

Notes are otherwise transferred in a manner that does not require

disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or

jurisdictions.

Fixed Rate Notes: Fixed Rate Notes will bear a fixed rate of interest payable in arrear

on the Interest Payment Date or Dates in each year as specified in

the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Floating Rate Notes: Floating Rate Notes will bear interest set separately for each Series

at a rate determined by reference to the reference rate as specified

in the Pricing Supplement, as adjusted by any applicable Margin.

Interest Periods and Interest Payment Dates will be specified in the

relevant Pricing Supplement.

The Conditions contain provisions to replace the reference rate with

a successor reference rate in certain circumstances, without a

requirement for the consent of Holders.


11


In the case of Subordinated Notes, any successor reference rate and

any terms and other relevant methodology for calculating such rate is

subject to the prior written approval of the Australian Prudential

Regulatory Authority (“APRA”). Subordinated Noteholders should

note that APRA's approval may not be given for any successor

reference rate, or any terms and other relevant methodology for

calculating such rate it considers to have the effect of increasing the

Rate of Interest contrary to applicable prudential standards.

Index Linked Notes:

Payments (whether in respect of principal or interest and whether at

maturity or otherwise) in respect of, respectively, Index Linked

Redemption Notes and Index Linked Interest Notes will be calculated

by reference to such stock or commodity or other index, currency

exchange rate and/or formula as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer

or other investor may agree (as specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement). A Subordinated Note cannot be an Index Linked Note.

Zero Coupon Notes: Zero Coupon Notes may be issued at their Principal Amount or at a

discount to it and will not bear interest. A Subordinated Note cannot

be a Zero Coupon Note.

Interest Periods and

Interest Rates:

The length of the Interest Periods for the Notes and the applicable

Rate of Interest or its method of calculation may differ from time to

time or be constant for any Series. Notes may have a Maximum

Rate of Interest, a Minimum Rate of Interest or both. The use of

Interest Accrual Periods permits the Note to bear interest at different

rates in the same Interest Period. All such information will be set out

in the relevant Pricing Supplement. A Minimum Rate of Interest or

Maximum Rate of Interest cannot be specified for a Subordinated

Note.

Other Notes: The Issuer may from time to time issue Notes in a form not

contemplated by the “Conditions of the Notes” herein. Terms

applicable to any other type of Note that the Issuer may agree to

issue and any relevant Dealer(s) or other investor may agree to

purchase under the Programme will be set out in the relevant Pricing

Supplement.

Note Risks: There are risks associated with an investment in the Notes.

Prospective investors or purchasers should consult their own

financial, tax and legal advisers about the risks associated with an

investment in a particular Tranche of Notes and the suitability of

investing in the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.

Without limiting this statement, investors should consider particular

risks associated with investing in Subordinated Notes described

below.

Optional Redemption: The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each Series of Notes

will state whether such Notes may be redeemed (either in whole or in

part) prior to their stated maturity at the option of the Issuer or the

Holders, and if so the terms applicable to such redemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders will have no option to require

redemption of any Subordinated Notes prior to their stated maturity.

In the case of Subordinated Notes, the Optional Redemption Date

must not be earlier than 5 years from the Issue Date.

If Clean-Up Call is specified as being applicable in the relevant

Pricing Supplement and 75 per cent. or more in aggregate principal

amount of the relevant Series of Notes issued has been redeemed or

purchased and cancelled, the Issuer may elect to redeem all (but not


12


some) of those Notes on the Residual Redemption Date (which must

be an Interest Payment Date) in accordance with the Conditions. A

Clean-Up Call cannot be specified for a Subordinated Note.

Redemption by

instalments:

The Pricing Supplement in respect of each Series of Notes that are

redeemable in two or more instalments will set out the Instalment

Amounts in which and Instalment Dates on which the Notes may be

redeemed. A Subordinated Note may not be redeemable by

instalments.

Redemption for tax

reasons:


In certain circumstances following notice by the Issuer, all of the

Notes of a Series may be redeemed following any changes in tax law

which give rise to an obligation of the Issuer to make a withholding or

deduction and pay additional amounts, and in certain other

circumstances (as provided in Condition 6.2).

Status of Notes: The status of the Notes is as set out in Condition 3. In addition, a

simplified diagram illustrating the expected ranking of the Notes

compared to other creditors of the Issuer is set out in the section

below titled “Ranking of Notes in a Winding-Up of the Issuer”.

The Issuer is an "authorised deposit-taking institution" (“ADI”) within

the meaning of that term in the Banking Act 1959 of Australia (the

“Banking Act”).

The Notes will be direct, unsecured and general obligations of the

Issuer and:

• in the case of Notes other than Subordinated Notes, will

rank equally with all other present and future unsecured and

unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer (other than certain

debts of the Issuer required to be preferred by the relevant

law, including without limitation amounts given priority under

the Banking Act and the Reserve Bank Act 1959 of Australia

(the “Reserve Bank Act”)); and

• in the case of Subordinated Notes, will be subordinated

obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu among

themselves and rank pari passu with all Equal Ranking

Securities.

Section 13A(3) of the Banking Act provides that, in the event an ADI

(such as the Issuer) becomes unable to meet its obligations or

suspends payment, the ADI’s assets in Australia are available to

meet specified liabilities of the ADI in priority to all other liabilities of

the ADI (including the Notes). These specified liabilities include

certain obligations of the ADI to APRA in respect of amounts payable

by APRA to holders of protected accounts, other liabilities of the ADI

in Australia in relation to protected accounts, debts to the Reserve

Bank of Australia (“RBA”) and certain other debts to APRA.

Under section 16(2) of the Banking Act and subject to section 13A(3)

of the Banking Act, in a winding up of the Issuer certain other debts

of the Issuer due to APRA shall have priority over all other

unsecured debts of the Issuer. Further, section 86 of the Reserve

Bank Act provides that in a winding-up of the Issuer, debts due by

the Issuer to the RBA shall, subject to section 13A(3) of the Banking

Act, have priority over all other debts of the Issuer.

The Notes will not be a deposit liability or protected account or

otherwise benefit from a priority under the Banking Act or the

Reserve Bank Act.


13


Medium Term Notes

Medium Term Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, senior,

unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer ranking pari

passu among themselves and with all present and future

unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer (save for

certain liabilities mandatorily preferred by law including, but not

limited to, amounts given priority under the Banking Act and the

Reserve Bank Act).

The Medium Term Notes do not constitute a deposit liability or a

protected account for the purposes of the Banking Act.

Subordinated Notes

Subordinated Notes will constitute direct and unsecured

subordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu among

themselves and with all Equal Ranking Securities. Equal Ranking

Securities include any other instruments that are Relevant Tier 2

Securities.

The Subordinated Notes will be mandatorily Converted into ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares or Written-Off (as specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement) where this is determined by APRA to be necessary on

the grounds that the Issuer would otherwise become non-viable.

A Non-Viability Trigger Event could occur before or after the Issuer is

in a winding-up. Where the Subordinated Notes of a Subordinated

Noteholder are Converted into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares,

Subordinated Noteholders have the claims of a holder of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares. If, following a Non-Viability Trigger Event,

Subordinated Notes are Written-Off, Subordinated Noteholders have

no claim at all on the Issuer or ANZGHL, notwithstanding whether

any ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or Junior Ranking Securities remain

outstanding.

The terms of the Subordinated Notes provide that, prior to the

winding-up of the Issuer, the obligation of the Issuer to make

payments (including of any principal, additional amounts and

interest) on the Subordinated Notes, will be conditional on the Issuer

being Solvent at the time of, and immediately after, such payment by

the Issuer. Any such failure to pay will not be considered an Event of

Default for the purposes of the Subordinated Notes.

The Subordinated Notes do not constitute a deposit liability or a

protected account for the purposes of the Banking Act, and are not

insured or guaranteed by any government, governmental agency or

compensation scheme of Australia or any other jurisdiction or by any

party. The terms of the Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount

of the liabilities ranking senior to or equally with any Subordinated

Notes which may be incurred or assumed by the Issuer from time to

time, whether before or after the date of issue of the relevant

Subordinated Notes. See also “Additional Note Risks (Subordinated

Notes)” below.

Cross Default: Not applicable.

Austraclear: Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement,

application will be made to Austraclear Ltd (ABN 94 002 060 773) for

approval for each Tranche of Notes to be traded on the settlement

system operated by Austraclear Ltd (in accordance with the

Regulations and Operating Manual of Austraclear Ltd).


14


Registrar: Austraclear Services Limited (ABN 28 003 284 419).

Tax File Number: The Issuer will deduct tax from payments of interest on the Notes at

the highest marginal tax rate plus the highest Medicare levy if an

Australian resident investor or a non-resident investor carrying on

business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of the

non-resident in Australia has not supplied an appropriate tax file

number, Australian Business Number or exemption details.

Withholding Tax:


All payments by the Issuer of principal and interest in respect of the

Notes will be made free and clear of all Australian withholding taxes,

subject to exceptions, all as described in Condition 13 (Taxation).

Public Offer Test:


The Issuer proposes to issue Notes and to make payments of

interest in a manner which will satisfy the requirements of

section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) of

Australia (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing

Supplement).

Stamp Duty:


Any stamp duty incurred at the time of the issue of the Notes will be

for the account of the Issuer. Any stamp duty payable on the transfer

of the Notes will be for the account of the investors.

Investors are advised to seek independent advice regarding any

stamp duty or other taxes imposed by any jurisdiction upon the

transfer of, or interests in, Notes.

Governing Law: State of Victoria and Commonwealth of Australia.

Listing: Application may be made for one or more Tranches of Notes issued

under the Programme to be listed on the Australian Securities

Exchange or admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation on such

other exchange, listing authority or quotation system specified in the

relevant Pricing Supplement if agreed between the Issuer and the

relevant Dealers and specified in the Pricing Supplement. Notes

which are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange will not be

transferred through or registered on the Clearing House Electronic

Subregister System (“CHESS”) and will not be CHESS approved

securities. In the event that an interface between the Register

maintained by the Registrar and CHESS is established the

documents relating to the Programme may be amended to facilitate

settlement on CHESS and so the Notes will become CHESS

approved securities.

Notes may also be unlisted.

Selling Restrictions:

See the jurisdictions and restrictions set out in “Subscription and

Sale”.

The Issuer is “Category 2” for the purpose of Regulation S under the

Securities Act.

Rating: Notes may be rated.

A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Notes and is

subject to variation, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the

assigning organisation.

Any credit rating in respect of any Notes or the Issuer is for

distribution only to persons who are not a “retail client” within the

meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act and are also

sophisticated investors, professional investors or other investors in


15


respect of whom disclosure is not required under Part 6D.2 or

Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act and, in all cases, in such

circumstances as may be permitted by applicable law in any

jurisdiction in which an investor may be located. Anyone who is not

such a person is not entitled to receive this Information

Memorandum and anyone who receives it must not distribute it to

any person who is not entitled to receive it.

Calculation Agent: A Calculation Agent may be named in the Pricing Supplement in

respect of each Tranche of Notes. In certain circumstances, the

Issuer may terminate the appointment of the Calculation Agent and

appoint additional calculation agents or appoint a leading bank or

investment banking firm involved in the interbank market that is most

closely connected with the calculation to act as a Calculation Agent.

A Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor

having been appointed.

Additional Note Risks

(Subordinated Notes):

Without in any way limiting the section above titled “Note Risks”,

certain additional risks arise in respect of Subordinated Notes.

Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on a Non-

Viability Trigger Event

Subordinated Notes will be mandatorily Converted into ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares or Written-Off (as specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement and as further described below) where APRA

determines that (1) such Conversion or Write-Off is necessary

because, without it, the Issuer would become non-viable; or (2)

without a public sector injection of capital or equivalent support, the

Issuer would become non-viable.

If the Pricing Supplement specifies Conversion but, for any reason,

the Subordinated Notes have not been Converted within five

Business Days after the Trigger Event Date, the principal amount of

such Subordinated Note will not be Converted and instead will be

Written-Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date.

If a Subordinated Note of a Subordinated Noteholder is Written-Off,

the Subordinated Noteholder’s rights under that Subordinated Note

are immediately and irrevocably terminated for no consideration and

the Subordinated Noteholder will suffer a total loss of their

investment as a consequence.

In the event that a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, the Deed of

Undertaking governs the obligations of ANZGHL to issue any

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be issued by ANZGHL upon

Conversion of Subordinated Notes.

The circumstances under which APRA would determine that the

Issuer is non-viable are uncertain

A Non-Viability Trigger Event could occur at any time.

It is a requirement under APRA’s prudential standards that any term

subordinated debt, in order to be eligible for inclusion as regulatory

capital, contain provisions for conversion or write-off in the event of

non-viability. Whether the Issuer is non-viable is determined by

APRA. The prudential standards do not define non-viability and

APRA has not provided specific guidance on how it would determine

non-viability. Non-viability could be expected to include a serious

impairment of the Issuer’s financial position. However, it is possible

that APRA’s view of non-viability may not be confined to solvency or

capital measures and APRA’s position on these matters may change

over time. APRA has indicated that non-viability is likely to arise prior


16


to the insolvency of an authorised deposit-taking institution. Non-

viability may be significantly impacted by a number of factors,

including factors which impact the business, operation and financial

condition of the Issuer, such as systemic and non-systemic macro-

economic, environmental and operational factors.

In certain circumstances ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued on

Conversion may be issued to a nominee for sale

In certain circumstances, the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares that an

investor would receive on Conversion will be issued to a nominee,

who will sell the shares on behalf of that investor. None of the Issuer,

ANZGHL or the nominee owes any obligations or duties in relation to

the price at which ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are sold or has any

liability for any loss suffered by a Subordinated Noteholder as a

result of the sale of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. The nominee will

have no duty to obtain a fair market price in its sale of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares or to engage in an arm's length transaction in such

sale, and market conditions are likely to have deteriorated following

the Non-Viability Trigger Event that caused the Conversion. There is

a risk that the nominee may be unable to sell the shares at all or that

the sale may be delayed.

There are provisions of Australian law that are relevant to the ability

of any person to acquire interests in the Issuer or ANZGHL beyond

the limits prescribed by those laws. Subordinated Noteholders

should take care to ensure that by acquiring any Subordinated Notes

which provide for such Subordinated Notes to be Converted to

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares, they do not breach any applicable

restrictions on the ownership of interests in ANZGHL. If the

acquisition or Conversion of such Subordinated Notes by the

Subordinated Noteholder or a nominee would breach those

restrictions, ANZGHL may be prevented from Converting such

Subordinated Notes and where Conversion is required such

Subordinated Notes may be required to be Written-Off.

Other Relevant Securities are likely to contain similar provisions for

the issue of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to a nominee on Conversion

and for the nominee to sell the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. The larger

the volume of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares that is required to be issued

to a nominee for sale on Conversion, the more difficult it may be for

any nominee to sell such ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. There is a risk

that the market price for ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may be adversely

affected in such circumstances.

In addition, there is a risk that the Issuer may be unable to appoint a

nominee to receive ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be issued on

Conversion within five Business Days of the Trigger Event Date.

If Subordinated Notes are Written-Off an investor may lose

some or all of the value of its Subordinated Notes

If Subordinated Notes are Written-Off, investors will lose some or all

of the value of their investment and will not receive any

compensation.

An investor may receive ANZGHL Ordinary Shares worth

significantly less than the principal amount of their

Subordinated Notes and those ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may

be subject to transfer restrictions

Where Subordinated Notes are Converted, investors may receive

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares worth significantly less than the principal

amount of their Subordinated Notes.


17


There may be no market in ANZGHL Ordinary Shares received on

Conversion and investors may not be able to sell the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares at a price equal to the value of their investment and

as a result may suffer loss. The sale of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

may also be restricted by applicable Australian law and as a result

investors may suffer loss.

The Non-Viability Determination may require some or all Relevant

Securities be converted. Where it requires only some be converted,

in determining the number of Subordinated Notes that are

Converted, the Issuer first takes into account the conversion of

Relevant Tier 1 Securities and then treats Relevant Tier 2 Securities

(including the Subordinated Notes) on an approximately pro-rata

basis or as further described in the terms and conditions of the

Subordinated Notes. Where all Relevant Securities are required to

be converted, all Relevant Tier 2 Securities and Relevant Tier 1

Securities may be converted at the same time. In this circumstance,

the effect is that the rights attaching to Relevant Tier 1 Securities

would not be cancelled, limited or subject to loss absorption before

Relevant Tier 2 Securities (including Subordinated Notes) are

themselves subject to loss absorption. The Banking Act does not

impose on APRA a requirement to ensure that, in the exercise of its

powers, holders of regulatory capital securities (such as

Subordinated Notes) are no worse off than they would be in an

insolvency. The number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares an investor will

receive is determined by the conversion formula applicable to the

Subordinated Notes and not by APRA or by their ranking in a

winding up if APRA were not to issue a Non-Viability Determination.

Subordinated Noteholders should be aware that:

• There is no obligation on the Issuer to issue, or maintain on

issue, any Relevant Securities that it has issued or may decide

to issue in the future. As a result, if a Non-Viability Trigger Event

requiring the Conversion of some but not all Subordinated Notes

occurs, the relative impact on the Subordinated Notes will

depend on the amount of Relevant Securities other than the

Subordinated Notes (if any) that are on issue at that time and

whether those Relevant Securities are Relevant Tier 1 Securities

or Relevant Tier 2 Securities.

• As at the date of this Information Memorandum, Relevant Tier 1

Securities include the securities eligible for inclusion as

Additional Tier 1 Capital (as defined by APRA from time to time).

APRA has proposed that Additional Tier 1 Capital be phased out

from 1 January 2027. This is likely to decrease the amount (if

any) of Relevant Tier 1 Securities and increase the amount of

Relevant Tier 2 Securities that are on issue from time to time,

which could adversely affect the outcomes for holders of

Subordinated Notes in the event of a Non-Viability Trigger Event.

The transitional arrangements that will apply to Additional Tier 1

Capital instruments on issue on 1 January 2027 are subject to

on-going consultation with APRA, however it is expected that no

Additional Tier 1 Capital instruments of the Issuer would remain

on issue after 1 January 2032. Accordingly, from that date, the

only securities ranking junior to the Subordinated Notes in a

winding-up would be ordinary shares in the Issuer, and if a Non-

Viability Trigger Event were to occur there would be no Relevant


18


Tier 1 Securities to be Converted before the Subordinated Notes

are required to be Converted.

• There is no requirement that the rights attaching to ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares be cancelled or limited before Relevant

Securities (including Subordinated Notes) are subject to loss

absorption.


Subordinated Noteholders should also be aware that a Non-Viability

Trigger Event may occur more than once. For example, as a result of

a Non-Viability Trigger Event, a partial conversion of some Relevant

Securities may occur and yet fail to restore the Issuer to viability. In

that case, if a further Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, the

Relevant Securities that remain on issue (which may include

Subordinated Notes) may be subject to loss absorption in

circumstances where there has been a further deterioration in the

financial position of the Issuer and holders of those Relevant

Securities may have a worse outcome than holders of the Relevant

Securities that were previously subject to loss absorption.

Limited remedies available for non-payment and breach

Depending upon its performance and financial position, there is a

risk that the Issuer may default on payment of some or all of the

interest or principal on a Subordinated Note. In this case, investors’

rights are limited to certain specified remedies and, for example,

investors do not have the right to require the Issuer to redeem the

Subordinated Note early. Although the Conditions may specify

certain remedies (for example, seeking an order for the winding-up of

the Issuer) the grant of those remedies may be in the discretion of

the court, and as such may not be granted.

Investors should note in particular Conditions 3.2, 7 to 10 (inclusive),

15.2 and 16 and the Schedule to the Conditions.

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares: For a description of the rights and liabilities attaching to ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion of the Subordinated Notes,

see the section “Description of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares” below.

Redemption for regulatory

reasons (Subordinated

Notes):

The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each Series of

Subordinated Notes will state whether those Subordinated Notes

may be redeemed if a Regulatory Event occurs (as provided in

Condition 6.3).

Approval of APRA for

redemption (Subordinated

Notes):

The Issuer may not redeem any Subordinated Notes or purchase, or

procure that any of its Related Entities purchase, any Subordinated

Notes without the prior written approval of APRA.

Prospective purchasers of Subordinated Notes should not expect

that APRA’s consent will be given for any redemption of

Subordinated Notes. Any redemption of Subordinated Notes does

not imply or indicate that the Issuer will exercise any redemption right

of other outstanding Subordinated Notes or any other Relevant

Securities in the future.

APRA has stated that, consistent with its prudential requirements,

where it considers any replacement capital to be more expensive

(including because of higher credit margins), APRA may not approve

a redemption unless the issuer of the notes satisfies it as to the

economic and prudential rationale for the redemption and that the

redemption will not create an expectation that other regulatory capital

instruments will be redeemed in similar circumstances. The matters


19


to which APRA may have regard in considering whether to give its

approval are not limited and may change.

Conditions to redemption

(Subordinated Notes):

The Issuer will not be permitted to redeem any Subordinated Note

unless (1) the Subordinated Note is replaced concurrently or

beforehand with Regulatory Capital of the same or better quality and

the replacement of the Subordinated Note is done under conditions

that are sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or (2) APRA is

satisfied that the Issuer’s capital position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if

applicable, Level 3 is well above its minimum capital requirements

after the Issuer elects to redeem the Subordinated Note.

Approved NOHC

(Subordinated Notes):

The Issuer may, without the consent of Subordinated Noteholders

(but with the prior written approval of APRA), amend the terms and

conditions of the Subordinated Notes to enable substitution of an

Approved NOHC as the issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion

upon the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger Event. Investors

should note Condition 10.

No Set-Off (Subordinated

Notes):

Neither the Issuer nor a Subordinated Noteholder has any

contractual right to set off any sum at any time due and payable to a

Subordinated Noteholder or the Issuer (as applicable) under or in

relation to the Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the

Subordinated Noteholder to the Issuer or by the Issuer to the

Subordinated Noteholder (as applicable).

RANKING OF NOTES IN A WINDING-UP OF THE ISSUER

The table

1

below illustrates how the Notes would rank upon a winding-up of the Issuer, if they are on

issue at the time. In the table, a ‘higher ranking’ obligation is one which will be paid out of the Issuer’s

available assets in a winding-up before obligations with a lower ranking. It may be that lower ranking

securityholders will only have part or none of their obligations paid, as there may be insufficient assets

remaining to do so after higher ranking obligations have been paid.



Type of obligation Examples of obligations/securities

Higher

ranking/

earlier

priority

Secured debt and

liabilities preferred

by law

Senior ranking secured obligations (such as

collateralised liabilities to central banks and

clearing houses).

Liabilities which the Banking Act provides are to

be paid out of the Issuer’s assets in Australia in

priority to liabilities in respect of Notes, including

protected accounts in Australia (such as current

accounts, savings accounts and term deposit

accounts and certain liabilities to APRA and debts

to the RBA); other liabilities preferred in a

winding-up, such as debts due to the RBA, costs

of the winding-up and certain employee

entitlements.

Medium Term

Notes

Unsubordinated

unsecured debt

The Medium Term Notes, other bonds and notes,

(Note: covered bonds are an unsecured claim on

the Issuer but are secured over certain assets).

Subordinated

Notes

unsecured debt

The Subordinated Notes and other Tier 2 Capital

instruments issued by the Issuer.

If a Subordinated Note is Converted, any

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares that a Holder receives

on Conversion will rank equally with other

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares and the Holder will

have no further claim on the Issuer. If a

Subordinated Note is Written-Off, Subordinated

Noteholders have no further claims on the Issuer

or ANZGHL (even though ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares will still be on issue) and they are likely to

be worse off than holders of ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares or of ordinary shares in the Issuer.

This is a very simplified capital structure of the Issuer and does not include every type of security or other obligation issued

by the Issuer. The Issuer has the right to issue further debt, deposits or other obligations or securities of any kind at any

time. The Conditions of the Notes do not limit the amount of senior debt, deposits or other obligations or securities that may

be incurred or issued by the Issuer at any time.

2 Form, Denomination and Title

2.1 Constitution

The Notes are registered debt obligations of the Issuer constituted by and owing under the

Deed Poll. The obligations of the Issuer in respect of these Conditions and the relevant

Pricing Supplement extend to each individual Note and, following on from that, the Holder of

each Note without the Holder having to join forces with any other Holder or any predecessor

in title of that Holder of a Note.

2.2 Title

Entry of the name of the person purchasing a Note, or the transferee of a Note on the

Register at the relevant time will constitute the passing of title of that Note and will be

conclusive evidence of that person’s entitlements to receive interest and repayment of

principal in the manner provided for in these Conditions (subject to rectification for fraud or

error). A Note registered in the name of more than one person is held by those persons as

joint tenants (unless requested otherwise and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer). Notes will


37

be registered by name only without reference to any trusteeship. Neither the Issuer nor the

Registrar is, except as required by law, obliged to take notice of any other claim to a Note.

2.3 Independent Obligations

Each entry in the Register constitutes the separate and individual title of the Holder to the

indebtedness of the Issuer to that relevant Holder.

2.4 Location of Register

The Register will be established and maintained by the Registrar at its Registry Office unless

otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

2.5 Denomination

(a) Notes are issued in the Specified Denominations specified in the Pricing Supplement.

Notes may only be sold in Australia if the aggregate consideration payable to the

Issuer by the purchaser is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the

Issuer or its associates) or if the Notes are otherwise sold in a manner which does

not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the

Corporations Act.

(b) Notes may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than

Australia if the issue is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the

issue or sale is made and the Notes are otherwise issued or sold in a manner that

does not require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those

jurisdictions.

2.6 Austraclear

If Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, the Registrar will enter Austraclear in the

Register as the Holder of those Notes. While those Notes remain in the Austraclear System,

all dealings (including transfers and payments) in relation to those Notes within the

Austraclear System will be governed by the Austraclear Regulations and need not comply

with these Conditions to the extent of any inconsistency provided that, in respect of

Subordinated Notes, the Austraclear Regulations do not override these Conditions if it would

impact the eligibility of the Subordinated Notes as Tier 2 Capital.

2.7 Certificates

No certificate or other evidence of title will be issued by or on behalf of the Issuer to evidence

title to a Note unless the Issuer determines that such certificates should be made available or

it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

2.8 Acknowledgment

Where Austraclear is recorded in the Register as the Holder, each person in whose Security

Record (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) that Note is recorded is deemed to

acknowledge in favour of the Registrar and Austraclear that:

(a) the Registrar’s decision to act as the Registrar of the Note does not constitute a

recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to the

Note but only indicates that such Note is considered by the Registrar to be

compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under its

agreement with the Issuer to act as Registrar of the Note; and

(b) the Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to Condition

2.8(a).


38

2.9 Australian Securities Exchange Listing

Notes which are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange will not be transferred through

or registered on CHESS and will not be CHESS approved securities. In the event that an

interface between the Register maintained by the Registrar and CHESS is established the

Conditions and any other Programme documents may be amended to facilitate settlement on

CHESS and so that the Notes will become CHESS approved securities.

3 Status

The Notes may be Medium Term Notes or Subordinated Notes as specified in the applicable

Pricing Supplement.

The Notes are not a deposit liability or protected account for the purposes of the Banking Act

and do not otherwise benefit from a priority under the Banking Act or other applicable law.

3.1 Medium Term Notes

The Medium Term Notes constitute senior, direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of

the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other present and

future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer (save for certain liabilities

mandatorily preferred by law including, but not limited to, amounts given priority under the

Banking Act and the Reserve Bank Act).

The Medium Term Notes rank senior to the Issuer's subordinated obligations, including the

Subordinated Notes.

The Medium Term Notes are not a deposit liability or protected account for the purposes of

the Banking Act and do not otherwise benefit from a priority under the Banking Act or other

applicable law.

3.2 Subordinated Notes

The Subordinated Notes constitute direct and unsecured subordinated obligations of the

Issuer and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement and subject to

Conditions 7 to 9 (inclusive), rank pari passu among themselves and with Equal Ranking

Securities. In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer (see Condition 16) and prior to the

commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (see Condition 5.16), the principal amount of,

any interest on, and any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the

Subordinated Notes will rank behind all claims of Senior Creditors and subject to Conditions 7

to 9 (inclusive), pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities and ahead of Junior Ranking

Securities.

Neither the Issuer nor a Subordinated Noteholder has any contractual right to set off any sum

at any time due and payable to a Subordinated Noteholder or the Issuer (as applicable) under

or in relation to the Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the Subordinated

Noteholder to the Issuer or by the Issuer to the Subordinated Noteholder (as applicable).

The Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of liabilities ranking senior to the

Subordinated Notes that may be hereafter incurred or assumed by the Issuer.

The Subordinated Notes are not a deposit liability of the Issuer or protected account for the

purposes of the Banking Act and do not otherwise benefit from a priority under the Banking

Act or other applicable law.

4 Interest and other calculations

4.1 Interest on Fixed Rate Notes

Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding Principal Amount from, and including,

the Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal

to the Rate of Interest, such interest being payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date.


39

If a Fixed Coupon Amount or a Broken Amount is specified in the applicable Pricing

Supplement, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will amount to

the Fixed Coupon Amount or, if applicable, the Broken Amount so specified and in the case

of the Broken Amount will be payable on the particular Interest Payment Date(s) specified in

the applicable Pricing Supplement.

5 Interest on Floating Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest

Notes

5.1 Interest Payment Dates:

Each Floating Rate Note and Index Linked Interest Note bears interest on its outstanding

Principal Amount from the Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed

as a percentage) equal to the Rate of Interest, such interest being payable in arrear on each

Interest Payment Date. Such Interest Payment Date(s) is/are either specified in the Pricing

Supplement as the Interest Payment Dates or, if no Interest Payment Date(s) are specified,

Interest Payment Date shall mean each date which falls the number of months or other period

shown in the Pricing Supplement as the Interest Period after the preceding Interest Payment

Date or, the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.

5.2 Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Notes

The Rate of Interest in respect of Floating Rate Notes for each Interest Accrual Period shall

be determined by the Calculation Agent in the manner specified in the Pricing Supplement

and the provisions below relating to Screen Rate Determination, BBSW Rate Determination

and or AONIA Rate Determination shall apply (as the case may be and as amended by the

Pricing Supplement).

5.3 Screen Rate Determination

(a) If Screen Rate Determination is specified in the Pricing Supplement as the manner in

which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest

Accrual Period shall (subject to Condition 5.4) be calculated (as determined by the

Calculation Agent) on the following basis:

(i) if the Reference Rate is a composite quotation or a quotation customarily

supplied by one entity, the Calculation Agent will determine the Reference

Rate which appears on the Relevant Screen Page at the then prevailing

Publication Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date; or

(ii) in any other case, the Calculation Agent will determine the arithmetic mean

of the Reference Rates which appear on the Relevant Screen Page at the

then prevailing Publication Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date;

(b) if paragraph (a)(i) above applies and no Reference Rate appears on the Relevant

Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on the Interest Determination

Date or if sub-paragraph (a)(ii) applies and fewer than two Reference Rates appear

on the Relevant Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on the Interest

Determination Date or if, in either case, the Relevant Screen Page is unavailable,

subject as provided below, the Rate of Interest shall be the arithmetic mean of the

Reference Rates that each of the Reference Banks is quoting (or such of them, being

at least two, as are so quoting) to leading banks in the Relevant Financial Centre at

the Publication Time on the Interest Determination Date, as determined by the

Calculation Agent; and

(c) if paragraph (b) above applies and the Calculation Agent determines that fewer than

two Reference Banks are so quoting the Reference Rate, subject as provided below,

the Rate of Interest shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates per annum (expressed

as a percentage) that the Calculation Agent determines to be the rates (being the

nearest equivalent to the Reference Rate) that at least two out of five leading banks

selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) in the Relevant


40

Financial Centre, are quoting at or about the then prevailing Publication Time for a

period equivalent to the relative Interest Accrual Period to leading banks carrying on

business in the Relevant Financial Centre; except that, if fewer than two of such

banks are so quoting to such leading banks, the Rate of Interest shall be the Rate of

Interest determined on the previous Interest Determination Date (in the case of the

Medium Term Notes only, after readjustment for any difference between any Margin,

Rate Multiplier or Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest applicable to the preceding

Interest Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest Accrual Period).

5.4 Screen Rate Benchmark Replacement

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Reference Rate has been affected by a

Reference Rate Disruption Event, then the following provisions shall apply:

(a) the Calculation Agent shall use as the “Reference Rate” such Successor Reference

Rate and such terms and other methodology described in paragraph (b) below that it

has determined;

(b) if the Calculation Agent has determined a Successor Reference Rate in accordance

with paragraph (a) above, the Calculation Agent may determine the Business Day

Convention, the definitions of Business Day, Day Count Fraction, Publication Time,

Relevant Screen Page, Relevant Time, Reference Rate and Interest Determination

Date and any other relevant methodology for calculating such Successor Reference

Rate, including any adjustment factor it determines is needed to make such

Successor Reference Rate comparable to the Reference Rate, subject to APRA’s

prior written approval in the case of Subordinated Notes; and

(c) if, in respect of an Interest Period or an Interest Accrual Period, the Calculation Agent

is unable to determine a Successor Reference Rate in accordance with paragraphs

(a) and (b) above, the Reference Rate for:

(i) that Interest Period or Interest Accrual Period shall be the Reference Rate

determined on the previous Interest Determination Date; and

(ii) any subsequent Interest Periods or Interest Accrual Periods shall be

determined in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above and, if

necessary, this paragraph (c).

In the case of Subordinated Notes only, any Successor Reference Rate determined

by the Calculation Agent in accordance with paragraph (a) above, and any terms and

other relevant methodology for calculating such Successor Reference Rate (including

any adjustment factor to the Successor Reference Rate) determined by the

Calculation Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above, will be subject to the prior

written approval of APRA having been obtained in each case.

Subordinated Noteholders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for

any Successor Reference Rate, and any terms and other relevant methodology for

calculating such Successor Reference Rate (including any adjustment factor to the

Successor Reference Rate) it considers to have the effect of increasing the Rate of

Interest contrary to applicable prudential standards.

(d) In making its determinations in accordance with Condition 5.4, the Calculation Agent:

(i) shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; and

(ii) may consult with such sources of market practice as it considers appropriate,

but otherwise may make such determination in its discretion (subject, in the case of

Subordinated Notes only, to the requirement for APRA’s prior written approval as

specified in this Condition 5.4 above).


41

(e) For the purposes of this Condition 5.4:

(i) “Reference Rate Disruption Event” means that:

(A) the Reference Rate has been discontinued or otherwise ceased to

be calculated or administered; or

(B) the Reference Rate is no longer generally accepted in the Australian

market as a reference rate appropriate to floating rate debt

securities of a tenor and interest period comparable to that of the

Floating Rate Security; and

(ii) “Successor Reference Rate” means a rate that is generally accepted in the

Australian market as the successor to the Reference Rate, or if there is no

such rate, a reference rate appropriate to floating rate debt securities of a

tenor and interest period most comparable to that of the Floating Rate

Security.

5.5 BBSW Rate Determination and AONIA Rate Determination

(a) Where BBSW Rate Determination or AONIA Rate Determination is specified in the

relevant Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be

determined for each Interest Period, the Rate of Interest applicable to the Floating

Rate Notes for each such Interest Period is the sum of the Margin and either (x) the

BBSW Rate or (y) the AONIA Rate as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

(b) Each Holder shall be deemed to acknowledge, accept and agree to be bound by, and

consents to, the determination of, substitution for and any adjustments made to the

BBSW Rate or the AONIA Rate, as applicable, in each case as described in this

Condition 5.5 and in Condition 5.6 below (in all cases without the need for any Holder

consent). Any determination, decision or election (including a decision to take or

refrain from taking any action or as to the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event

or circumstance), and any substitution for and adjustments made to, the BBSW Rate

or the AONIA Rate, as applicable, and in each case made in accordance with this

Condition 5.5 and Condition 5.6, will, in the absence of manifest or proven error, be

conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the holder of the relevant Notes and each

Calculation Agent and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Conditions

or other documentation relating to the Notes, shall become effective without the

consent of any person (except as expressly provided in Condition 5.6 in the case of

Subordinated Notes).

(c) If the Calculation Agent is a person other than the Issuer and that person is unwilling

or unable to determine a necessary rate, adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology

or other variable in order to calculate the applicable Rate of Interest, such rate,

adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology or other variable will be determined by

the Issuer (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) or, an

alternate financial institution (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable

manner) appointed by the Issuer (in its sole discretion) to so determine.

(d) All rates determined pursuant to this Condition 5.5 shall be expressed as a

percentage rate per annum and the resulting percentage will be rounded if necessary

to the fourth decimal place (i.e., to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a percentage

point) with 0.00005 being rounded upwards.

5.6 BBSW and AONIA Benchmark Rate fallback

If:

(a) a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred; or


42

(b) a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred,

then, subject to APRA’s prior written approval in the case of Subordinated Notes, the

Benchmark Rate for an Interest Period, whilst such Temporary Disruption Trigger is

continuing or after a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred, means (in the following

order of application and precedence):

(c) where BBSW Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate, if a Temporary Disruption

Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, in the following order of

precedence:

(i) first, the Administrator Recommended Rate;

(ii) then the Supervisor Recommended Rate; and

(iii) lastly, the Final Fallback Rate;

(d) where the AONIA Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate or a determination of the

AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, if a Temporary

Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for which

AONIA is required will be the last provided or published level of AONIA;

(e) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes

of paragraph (c) or (d) above, if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with

respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for which the RBA

Recommended Rate is required will be the last rate provided or published by the

Administrator of the RBA Recommended Rate (or if no such rate has been so

provided or published, the last provided or published level of AONIA);

(f) where BBSW Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate, if a Permanent

Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, the rate for any

day for which the BBSW Rate is required on or after the Permanent Fallback

Effective Date will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(i) first, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, no

AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the AONIA Rate;

(ii) then, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an

AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, an RBA

Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate

Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended

Fallback Rate; and

(iii) lastly, if neither paragraph (i) nor paragraph (ii) above apply, the Final

Fallback Rate;

(g) where the AONIA Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate or a determination of the

AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (f)(i) above, if a Permanent

Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for

which AONIA is required on or after the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date

will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(i) first, if at the time of the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an RBA

Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate

Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended

Rate; and

(ii) lastly, if paragraph (i) above does not apply, the Final Fallback Rate; and


43

(h) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes

of paragraph (f) or (g) above, respectively, if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger

has occurred with respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for

which the RBA Recommended Rate is required on or after that Permanent Fallback

Effective Date will be the Final Fallback Rate.

When calculating an amount of interest in circumstances where a Fallback Rate other than

the Final Fallback Rate applies, that interest will be calculated as if references to the BBSW

Rate or AONIA Rate (as applicable) were references to that Fallback Rate. When calculating

interest in circumstances where the Final Fallback Rate applies, the amount of interest will be

calculated on the same basis as if the Applicable Benchmark Rate in effect immediately prior

to the application of that Final Fallback Rate remained in effect but with necessary

adjustments to substitute all references to that Applicable Benchmark Rate with

corresponding references to the Final Fallback Rate.

Subordinated Noteholders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for any

Fallback Rate, and any terms and other relevant methodology for calculating such Fallback

Rate (including any adjustment factor to the Fallback Rate) it considers to have the effect of

increasing the Rate of Interest contrary to applicable prudential standards.

5.7 Rate of Interest for Index Linked Interest Notes

The Rate of Interest in respect of Index Linked Interest Notes for each Interest Accrual Period

shall be determined in the manner specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and interest

will accrue by reference to an Index or formula as specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement.

5.8 Linear Interpolation

If the Pricing Supplement states that “Linear Interpolation” applies to an Interest Period, the

Calculation Agent must determine the Rate of Interest for that Interest Period using straight

line interpolation by reference to two rates determined using the Screen Rate Determination

or other floating rates, in each case, as specified in the Pricing Supplement. The first rate

must be determined as if the Interest Period were the period of time for which rates are

available next shorter than the length of the Interest Period (or any alternative Interest Period

specified in the Pricing Supplement). The second rate must be determined as if the Interest

Period were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of the

Interest Period (or any alternative Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).

5.9 Zero Coupon Notes

Where a Note, the Interest Basis of which is specified in the Pricing Supplement to be Zero

Coupon, is repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amount due

and payable prior to the Maturity Date shall be the Early Redemption Amount of such Note,

unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement. As from the Maturity Date, the Rate of

Interest for any overdue principal of such a Note shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a

percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield.

5.10 Accrual of Interest

Interest shall cease to accrue on each Note on the due date for redemption unless payment

is improperly withheld or refused, in which event interest shall continue to accrue (as well

after as before judgment) on the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note at the Rate of

Interest in the manner provided in this Condition 5 to the Relevant Date.

5.11 Margin, Maximum/Minimum Rates of Interest, Instalment Amounts and

Redemption Amounts, Rate Multipliers and rounding

(a) If any Margin or Rate Multiplier is specified in the Pricing Supplement (either (x)

generally, or (y) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment

shall be made to all Rates of Interest, in the case of (x), or the Rates of Interest for

the specified Interest Accrual Periods, in the case of (y), calculated in accordance


44

with 5 above by adding (if a positive number) or subtracting (if a negative number)

the absolute value of such Margin or multiplying by such Rate Multiplier, subject

always to the next paragraph.

(b) If any Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or

Optional Redemption Amount is specified in the Pricing Supplement, then any Rate

of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or Optional Redemption Amount shall

be subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be.

(c) Subject to the requirements of applicable law and, where the Notes are lodged in the

Austraclear System, the Austraclear Regulations, for the purposes of any

calculations required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified), (x)

all percentages resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the

nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded

up), (y) all figures shall be rounded to seven decimal places (with halves being

rounded up) and (z) all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded

to the nearest cent (with one half cent being rounded up).

(d) The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Subordinated Notes must not specify a

Rate Multiplier, Maximum Rate of Interest, Minimum Rate of Interest or Instalment

Amount.

5.12 Calculations

The amount of interest payable in respect of any Note for any Interest Accrual Period shall,

subject where that Note is lodged in the Austraclear System, to the Austraclear Regulations,

be calculated by multiplying the product of the Rate of Interest and the outstanding Principal

Amount of such Note by the Day Count Fraction, unless an Interest Amount (or a formula for

its calculation) is specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of such period, in which case

the amount of interest payable in respect of such Note for such period shall equal such

Interest Amount (or be calculated in accordance with such formula). Where any Interest

Period comprises two or more Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable in

respect of such Interest Period shall be the sum of the amounts of interest payable in respect

of each of those Interest Accrual Periods.

5.13 Determination and Publication of Rate of Interest, Interest Amounts, Early,

Final or Optional Redemption Amounts and Instalment Amounts

As soon as practicable after the Relevant Time on each Interest Determination Date or such

other time on such date as the Calculation Agent may be required to calculate any rate or

amount, obtain any quotation or make any determination or calculation, the Calculation Agent

shall:

(a) determine such rate and calculate the Interest Amounts in respect of each Specified

Denomination of the Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period;

(b) calculate the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Instalment

Amount or Optional Redemption Amount;

(c) obtain such quotation or make such determination or calculation, as the case may

be; and

(d) cause:

(i) the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amounts for each Interest Accrual

Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date; and

(ii) if required to be calculated, the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption

Amount, Instalment Amount or Optional Redemption Amount,


45

to be notified to:

(A) the Issuer;

(B) the Registrar (which will then notify the Holders of the calculation as

required by the Issuer to the address of the Holders recorded in the

Register);

(C) any other Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Notes that is

to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information; and

(D) if the Notes are listed on a stock exchange and the rules of such

exchange so require, such exchange,

as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than:

(iii) the commencement of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, if determined

prior to such time in the case of notification to such exchange of a Rate of

Interest and Interest Amount; or

(iv) in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination.

Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Accrual Period is subject to adjustment

pursuant to the application of a Business Day Convention, the Interest Amounts and

the Interest Payment Date so published may subsequently be amended (or

appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) without notice in

the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Accrual Period.

If the Notes become due and payable under Condition 15, the accrued interest and

the Rate of Interest payable in respect of the Notes shall nevertheless continue to be

calculated as previously in accordance with this Condition but no publication of the

Rate of Interest or the Interest Amount so calculated need be made.

The determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining of each quotation and the

making of each determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent(s) shall (in the

absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

5.14 Calculation Agent

If the Conditions applicable to a Note contemplate the appointment of a Calculation Agent in

respect of that Note:

(a) the Issuer shall procure that, at all times, and for so long as any such Note is

outstanding, one or more persons is appointed as Calculation Agent;

(b) the Issuer may appoint itself as Calculation Agent;

(c) the Issuer may appoint more than one Calculation Agent in respect of the Notes, and

if it does so, references in these Conditions to the Calculation Agent shall be

construed as each Calculation Agent performing its respective duties under the

Conditions; and

(d) if the Calculation Agent is a person other than the Issuer and is unable or unwilling to

act as such or if the Calculation Agent fails duly to establish the Rate of Interest for

an Interest Accrual Period or to calculate any Interest Amount, Instalment Amount,

Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount or Optional Redemption

Amount or to comply with any other requirement in respect of a Note, except where

the Conditions or Pricing Supplement applicable to the Note otherwise provide, the

Issuer shall appoint a leading bank or investment banking firm engaged in the

interbank market (or, if appropriate, money, swap or over-the-counter index options


46

market) that is most closely connected with the calculation or determination to be

made by the Calculation Agent to act as such in its place. The Calculation Agent

may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed as aforesaid.

5.15 Certificates to be final

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and

decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this

Condition 5 shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on

the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Registrar and all Holders, and (in the absence of wilful

default, bad faith or manifest error) no liability to the Issuer or the Holders, shall attach to the

Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties

and discretions pursuant to such provisions.

5.16 Conditions of Payment – Subordinated Notes

Prior to the commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection

with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency):

(a) the obligations of the Issuer to make payments of principal of, any interest on, and

any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated

Notes will be conditional on the Issuer being Solvent at the time of payment by the

Issuer; and

(b) no payment of principal of, any interest on, and any other payments, including

additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes shall be made unless the

Issuer is Solvent immediately after making the payment,

and if, pursuant to this Condition, the Issuer fails to make any payment of principal of, or

interest on, or any other payment, including additional amounts, in respect of any

Subordinated Note when due, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default for the

purposes of Condition 15.2(b).

A certificate signed by two authorised signatories, or an auditor, of the Issuer or, if the Issuer

is being wound up, its liquidator as to whether the Issuer is Solvent at any time is (in the

absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) conclusive evidence of the information

contained in the certificate and will be binding on the Subordinated Noteholders. In the

absence of any such certificate, the Subordinated Noteholders are entitled to assume (unless

the contrary is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent

immediately after, any payment on or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.

6 Redemption, Purchase and Options

6.1 Redemption by Instalments and Final Redemption

(a) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided in this Condition

6 or unless the relevant Instalment Date (being one of the dates so specified in the

Pricing Supplement) is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any provision of the

relevant Pricing Supplement, each Note that provides for Instalment Dates and

Instalment Amounts shall be partially redeemed on each Instalment Date at the

related Instalment Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement. The outstanding

Principal Amount of each such Note shall be reduced by the Instalment Amount (or, if

such Instalment Amount is calculated by reference to a proportion of the Principal

Amount of such Note, such proportion) for all purposes with effect from the related

Instalment Date, unless payment of the Instalment Amount is improperly withheld or

refused, in which case, such amount shall remain outstanding until the Relevant Date

relating to such Instalment Amount. A Subordinated Note will not provide for

redemption by instalments.

(b) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided below or Written-

Off or Converted or its maturity is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any


47

provision of the relevant Pricing Supplement, each Note shall be finally redeemed on

the Maturity Date specified in the Pricing Supplement at its Final Redemption Amount

or, in the case of a Note falling within paragraph (a) above, its final Instalment

Amount.

6.2 Redemption for taxation reasons

If, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of Australia or any

political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in

the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or

amendment becomes effective after the Issue Date (and in respect of any Subordinated Note,

which the Issuer did not expect as at the Issue Date of that Subordinated Note) of any Note

(as specified in the Pricing Supplement):

(a) in the case of any Note, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay any additional

amounts as provided in Condition 13;

(b) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement,

the Issuer or the consolidated tax group of which it is a member would be exposed to

more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, levies, imposts, charges and duties

(including stamp and transaction duties) imposed by any authority together with any

related interest, penalties and expenses in connection with them, assessments or

other governmental charges in connection with any Note; or

(c) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement,

the Issuer determines that any interest payable on any Note is not, or may not be,

allowed as a deduction for the purposes of Australian income tax,

the Issuer may at its option, at any time (if the Note is neither a Floating Rate Note nor an

Index Linked Interest Note) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Floating Rate

Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes) and subject to Condition 6.10 in the case of any

Subordinated Note, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Holders of

the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only, of the

Notes of the relevant Series at their Early Redemption Amount together with interest accrued

to the date fixed for redemption, provided where Condition 6.2(a) applies that no such notice

of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer

would be obliged to pay additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 6.2, the Issuer

shall deliver to the Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a

Director, a senior executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the

Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a

statement of the facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to

redeem have occurred.

6.3 Redemption of Subordinated Notes for regulatory reasons

If specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, if a Regulatory Event occurs, the Issuer may

at its option, at any time (if the Subordinated Note is not a Floating Rate Note) or on any

Interest Payment Date (in the case of a Subordinated Note that is a Floating Rate Note) and

subject to Condition 6.10 on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the

Subordinated Noteholders of the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem

all, but not some only, of the Subordinated Notes of the relevant Series at their Early

Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Prior to

the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 6.3, the Issuer shall

deliver to the Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director,

a senior executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the Issuer stating

that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts

showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.

For the purposes of this Condition, “Regulatory Event” means the receipt by the directors of

the Issuer of:


48

(a) an opinion from a reputable legal counsel that as a result of any amendment to,

clarification of or change (including any announcement of a change that has been or

will be introduced) in, any law or regulation of Australia, or any official administrative

pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or

regulations, which amendment, clarification or change is effective, or

pronouncement, action or decision is announced, after the Issue Date; or

(b) an official written statement from APRA,

that, in each case, the Issuer is not or will not be entitled to treat all Subordinated Notes of a

Series as Tier 2 Capital, provided that, in each case, on the Issue Date of the Subordinated

Notes, the Issuer did not expect that matters giving rise to the Regulatory Event would occur.

6.4 Early Redemption of Zero Coupon Notes

(a) The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Note that

does not bear interest prior to the Maturity Date, the Early Redemption Amount of

which is not linked to an index and/or a formula, upon redemption of such Note

pursuant to Condition 6.2, 6.5 or 6.6 or upon it becoming due and payable as

provided in Condition 15, shall be the Amortised Face Amount (calculated as

provided below) of such Note unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement.

(b) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (c) below, the “Amortised Face

Amount” of any such Note shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such

Note on the Maturity Date discounted to the date of its early redemption at a rate per

annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the “Amortisation Yield” (which, if

none is set out in the Pricing Supplement, shall be such rate as would produce an

Amortised Face Amount equal to the Issue Price of the Notes if such Notes were

discounted back from the Maturity Date to the relevant Issue Date) compounded

annually. Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it

shall be made on the basis of the Day Count Fraction set out in the Pricing

Supplement.

(c) If the Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Note upon its

redemption pursuant to Condition 6.2, 6.5 or 6.6 or upon it becoming due and

payable as provided in Condition 15, is not paid when due, the Early Redemption

Amount due and payable in respect of such Note shall be the Amortised Face

Amount of such Note as defined in sub-paragraph (b) above, except that such sub-

paragraph shall have effect as though the reference therein to the date on which the

Note becomes due and payable were replaced by a reference to the Relevant Date.

The calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-paragraph

shall continue to be made (after, as well as before, judgment) until the Relevant Date,

unless the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which case the

amount due and payable shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such

Note on the Maturity Date together with any interest that may accrue in accordance

with Condition 5.10.

Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on

the basis of the Day Count Fraction.

6.5 Redemption at the option of the Issuer and exercise of the Issuer's options

If a Call Option is included in the Pricing Supplement and subject to Condition 6.10 in the

case of any Subordinated Note, the Issuer may, on giving not less than five or more than 30

days’ irrevocable notice (subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the

Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”) to the Holders redeem or exercise any

Issuer’s option (as may be described in the Pricing Supplement) in relation to all or, if so

provided, some of the Notes on any Optional Redemption Date (which, in the case of a

Subordinated Note, may not be before the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date of that

Subordinated Note). Any such redemption of Notes shall be at their Optional Redemption

Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Any such redemption


49

or exercise of the Issuer's option shall just relate to Notes of a Principal Amount at least equal

to the Minimum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement and

no greater than the Maximum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing

Supplement.

All Notes in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed, or the Issuer’s

option shall be exercised, on the date specified in such notice in accordance with this

Condition.

In the case of a partial redemption or a partial exercise of an Issuer’s option, the notice to

Holders shall also contain details of the Principal Amount of Notes to be redeemed or in

respect of which such option has been exercised, which shall have been drawn in such place

as may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to prevailing market

practices and in such manner as it deems appropriate, subject to compliance with any

applicable laws and stock exchange requirements.

6.6 Clean-Up Redemption at the option of the Issuer (Clean-Up Call)

If a Clean-Up Call is specified as being applicable in the relevant Pricing Supplement and 75

per cent or more in aggregate Principal Amount of the relevant Series of Notes issued has

been redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Issuer may, at its option, on giving not less

than five or more than 30 days’ irrevocable notice to the Holders of the relevant Series,

redeem all, but not some only, of those Notes outstanding on the Residual Redemption Date,

at their Residual Redemption Amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest to, but

excluding, the Residual Redemption Date.

A Clean-up Call may not be specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of Subordinated

Notes.

6.7 Redemption at the Option of Holders and Exercise of Holders' Options

If a Put Option is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer shall, at the option of the

Holder of such Note, upon the Holder of such Note giving not less than 15 nor more than 30

days’ notice to the Issuer (subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the

Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”), redeem such Note on the Optional

Redemption Date(s) so provided at its Optional Redemption Amount together with interest

accrued to the date fixed for redemption. No such notice may be withdrawn without the prior

consent of the Issuer or if, prior to the due date for its redemption or the exercise of the

option, the relevant Note becomes immediately due and payable.

To exercise such option or any other Holder’s option that may be set out in the Pricing

Supplement, the Holder must complete, sign and deliver to the Registrar within the notice

period, a redemption notice (in the form obtainable from the Registrar) together with any

Certificate held by the Holder relating to the Notes to be transferred and such evidence as the

Registrar may require to establish the rights of that Holder to the relevant Notes.

A Put Option may not be specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of Subordinated

Notes.

6.8 Purchases

The Issuer is taken to represent as at the date of issue of each Note, that it does not know or

have any reasonable grounds to suspect that that Note or any interest in or right in respect of

that Note is being or will later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an Offshore

Associate of the Issuer acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter

in relation to the placement of the Notes or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or

responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

The Issuer and:

(a) in the case of the Subordinated Notes, any of its Related Entities; and


50

(b) in any other case, any of its subsidiaries,

may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and subject to Condition 6.10

in the case of any Subordinated Note, at any time purchase Notes in the open market or

otherwise. Notes purchased by the Issuer, any of its Related Entities or any of its subsidiaries

may be surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer to the Registrar for cancellation or,

may be held or resold, in each case at the option of the Issuer, the relevant Related Entity or

the relevant subsidiary. In the event that Notes are purchased by the Issuer, any of its

Related Entities or any of its subsidiaries but not cancelled the Issuer, the relevant Related

Entity or the relevant subsidiary will relinquish any voting rights in respect of those purchased

Notes.

6.9 Cancellation

All Notes redeemed by the Issuer or surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer for

cancellation shall be surrendered for cancellation by the Issuer or purchaser notifying the

Registrar and surrendering to the Registrar any Certificates held by the Holder relating to the

Notes to be cancelled by the Registrar and if so surrendered, the Notes will be cancelled

forthwith. Any Notes so surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and the

obligations of the Issuer in respect of any such Notes shall be discharged.

6.10 Consent of APRA

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Condition 6, the Issuer may not:

(a) redeem any Subordinated Notes under Conditions 6.2, 6.3 or 6.5 above; or

(b) prior to the Maturity Date purchase, or procure that any of its Related Entities

purchase, any Subordinated Notes under Condition 6.8 above,

without the prior written approval of APRA. In addition, the prior written approval of APRA is

required to modify, abrogate, amend, waive, vary or compromise the terms of any Series of

Subordinated Notes where such action may affect the eligibility of such Subordinated Notes

as Tier 2 Capital.

Subordinated Noteholders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be given for any

redemption or purchase of Subordinated Notes.

6.11 Conditions to redemption for Subordinated Notes

Without limiting Condition 6.10, the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem any Subordinated

Note unless the Subordinated Note is replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory

Capital of the same or better quality and the replacement of the Subordinated Note is done

under conditions that are sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied

that the Issuer’s capital position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if applicable, Level 3 is well above its

minimum capital requirements after the Issuer elects to redeem the Subordinated Note.

7 Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Non-

Viability Trigger Event

7.1 Application to Subordinated Notes only

Conditions 7, 8 and 9 apply only to Subordinated Notes.

7.2 Non-Viability Trigger Event

A “Non-Viability Trigger Event” means the earlier of:

(a) the issuance to the Issuer of a written determination from APRA that conversion or

write-off of Relevant Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that

the Issuer would become non-viable; or


51

(b) a determination by APRA, notified to the Issuer in writing, that without a public sector

injection of capital, or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-viable,

each such determination being a “Non-Viability Determination”.

7.3 Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

(a) on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to Condition 8.5, such Principal Amount of

the Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is

applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is required by the Non-Viability

Determination provided that:

(i) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 7.2(a) and

such Non-Viability Determination does not require all Relevant Securities to

be converted into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or written-off, such Principal

Amount of the Subordinated Notes shall Convert or be Written-Off

(whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is

sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 7.3(b)) to

satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off;

and

(ii) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 7.2(b), all the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be

Written-Off (whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement).

(b) the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes which must be

Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in accordance with Condition 7.3(a)(i), on

the following basis:

(i) first, convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1

Securities; and

(ii) secondly, if conversion into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or write-off of all

Relevant Tier 1 Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of

Condition 7.3(a)(i) (and provided that as a result of the conversion or write-

off of Relevant Tier 1 Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-Viability

Determination), Convert or Write-Off (as applicable) a Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes and convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or write-off a

number or principal amount of other Relevant Tier 2 Securities on an

approximately pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion

of the Issuer, fair and reasonable (subject to such adjustment as the Issuer

may determine to take into account the effect on marketable parcels and the

need to round to whole numbers the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

and the authorised denominations of the Principal Amount of any

Subordinated Note or the number or principal amount of other Relevant Tier

2 Securities remaining on issue, and the need to effect the conversion

immediately) and, for the purposes of this Condition 7.3(b)(ii), where the

specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant Tier 2 Securities is not

the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities, the Issuer may treat them as if

converted into a single currency of the Issuer’s choice at such rate of

exchange as the Issuer in good faith considers reasonable,

provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate

Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) of the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes;


52

(c) on the Trigger Event Date, the Issuer shall determine the Subordinated Notes or

portions thereof as to which the Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) is to take

effect and in making that determination may make any decisions with respect to the

identity of the Subordinated Noteholders at that time as may be necessary or

desirable to ensure Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) occurs in an orderly

manner, including disregarding any transfers of Subordinated Notes that have not

been settled or registered at that time provided that such determination does not

impede or delay the immediate Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) of the

relevant Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes;

(d) the Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to Condition 7.3(c) (a

“Trigger Event Notice”) as soon as practicable to the Subordinated Noteholders,

which must specify:

(i) the Trigger Event Date;

(ii) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes Converted or Written-Off (as

applicable); and

(iii) the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant Securities

converted or written-off;

(e) none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion or Write-

Off (as applicable) of Subordinated Notes as required by Condition 7.3(a):

(i) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

(ii) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;

(iii) any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Condition 7.4;

(iv) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes to be Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in

accordance with Condition 7.3(b)(ii) or 7.3(c); and

(v) in the case of Conversion only, any failure or delay in quotation of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares to be issued on Conversion.

If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, the Issuer must perform the obligations in

respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by the Issuer, whether or

not such day is a Business Day.

7.4 Conversion or Write-Off of a whole or of a portion of a Subordinated Note

If a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note is required to be Converted or Written-Off, the

following provisions apply:

(a) The Issuer shall notify the Registrar of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated

Note that has been Converted or Written-Off (whether in whole or in part) and instruct

the Registrar to reflect this Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) in the Register so

that the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note is reduced, in the case of a

Subordinated Note Converted or Written-Off in whole, to zero, or, in the case of a

Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off in part, to an amount equal to

the non-Converted or non-Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount

of such Subordinated Note;

(b) in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off only in part:


53

(i) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note will be reduced to an amount

equal to the non-Converted or non-Written-Off portion (as applicable) of the

Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note;

(ii) ANZGHL will be taken to hold (as a result of the transfer in accordance with

the Schedule to these Conditions) a new Subordinated Note with a principal

amount equal to the Converted or Written-Off portion (as applicable) of the

Principal Amount of the original Subordinated Note, and on terms otherwise

identical to the terms of such Subordinated Note (the "Affected

Subordinated Note");

(iii) where the date of the Conversion or Write-Off is not an Interest Payment

Date, the amount of interest payable in respect of that Subordinated Note on

each Interest Payment Date falling after that date will be reduced and

calculated on the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note as reduced on

that date;

(iv) for the purposes of any interest calculation, the Interest Amount, the Fixed

Coupon Amount, Broken Amount, the Calculation Amount and any related

amount in respect of that Subordinated Note shall be reduced in the same

proportion as the Principal Amount Converted or Written-Off in respect of

that Subordinated Note bears to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated

Note before such Conversion or Write-Off; and

(v) the Early Redemption Amount, the Final Redemption Amount, the Optional

Redemption Amount, the Specified Denomination and Principal Amount or

any related amount shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal

Amount Converted or Written-Off in respect of that Subordinated Note bears

to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note before such Conversion or

Write-Off;

(c) if a Certificate has been issued to the relevant Subordinated Noteholder in respect of

such Subordinated Note, then, if the Issuer so requires, such Subordinated

Noteholder shall surrender such Certificate to the Issuer (or, if the Issuer so directs,

to the Registrar) and, in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or

Written-Off only in part, the Issuer shall deliver to the Subordinated Noteholder, a

Certificate for a Subordinated Note with a Principal Amount equal to the non-

Converted or non-Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of such

Subordinated Note; and

(d) each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably authorises the Issuer to sign any

document or transfer or do any other thing as may in the Issuer’s opinion be

necessary or desirable to effect any transfer of the Subordinated Notes the subject of

the Conversion.

8 Conversion of Subordinated Notes

8.1 Conversion of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date

Unless "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 8

shall apply to the Subordinated Notes and, notwithstanding any other provision in these

Conditions, on the Trigger Event Date the relevant Principal Amount (as determined under

Condition 7.3) of the Subordinated Notes will Convert immediately and irrevocably.

On and from the Trigger Event Date, subject to Conditions 8.5 and 8.6(c)(iii), the Issuer and

ANZGHL shall treat any Subordinated Noteholder of any Subordinated Note or portion

thereof which is required to be Converted as the holder of the relevant number of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares and will take all such steps, including updating any register, required to

record the Conversion and the issuance of such ANZGHL Ordinary Shares.


54

8.2 Provision of information

Where a Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is required to be Converted under

Condition 8, a Subordinated Noteholder of Subordinated Notes or portion thereof that are

subject to Conversion wishing to receive ANZGHL Ordinary Shares must, no later than the

Trigger Event Date (or, in the case where Condition 8.4(f) applies, within 30 days of the date

on which ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are issued upon such Conversion), have provided to the

Issuer:

(a) its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name it

directs the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title

and receipt of any certificate or holding statement in respect of any ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares;

(b) the security account details of such Subordinated Noteholder in CHESS or such

other account to which the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may be credited; and

(c) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the purposes of

enabling ANZGHL to issue the Conversion Number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to

such Subordinated Noteholder,

and the Issuer has no duty to seek or obtain such information.

8.3 Failure to Convert

Subject to Condition 8.4 and Condition 8.5, if, in respect of a Conversion of Subordinated

Notes, ANZGHL fails to issue, on the Trigger Event Date, the Conversion Number of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in respect of the relevant Principal Amount of such Subordinated

Notes to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the relevant Subordinated Noteholder on

the Trigger Event Date or any other nominee where Condition 8.4 applies, the Principal

Amount of such Subordinated Notes which would otherwise be subject to Conversion shall

remain on issue and outstanding until:

(a) the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are issued to, or in accordance with the instructions of,

the Subordinated Noteholder of such Subordinated Notes; or

(b) such Subordinated Notes are Written-Off in accordance with these Conditions,

provided that the sole right of the Subordinated Noteholder in respect of Subordinated Notes

or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion is its right to be issued ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares upon Conversion (subject to its compliance with Condition 8.2 or to receive the

proceeds from their sale pursuant to Condition 8.4, as applicable) and the remedy of such

Subordinated Noteholder in respect of ANZGHL's failure to issue the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares is limited (subject always to Condition 8.5) to seeking an order for specific

performance of ANZGHL's obligation to issue the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the

Subordinated Noteholder or where Condition 8.4 applies to the nominee and to receive such

proceeds of sale, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Notes. This

Condition 8.3 does not affect the obligation of ANZGHL to issue the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares when required in accordance with these Conditions.

8.4 Issue to nominee

If, in respect of a Subordinated Note and a Subordinated Noteholder of that Subordinated

Note, the Subordinated Note or portion thereof is required to be Converted and:

(a) the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the Issuer that it does not wish to receive

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares as a result of the Conversion (whether entirely or to the

extent specified in the notice), which notice may be given at any time prior to the

Trigger Event Date;


55

(b) the Subordinated Notes are held by a Subordinated Noteholder whose address in the

register is a place outside Australia or who the Issuer otherwise believes may not be

a resident of Australia (a “Foreign Holder”);

(c) for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the Subordinated Noteholder) the

Issuer has not received the information required by Condition 8.2 prior to the Trigger

Event Date and the lack of such information would prevent ANZGHL from issuing the

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event

Date; or

(d) a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares issued on Conversion,

then, on the Trigger Event Date:

(e) where Condition 8.4(a), 8.4(b) or 8.4(d) applies, ANZGHL shall issue the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder only to the extent (if at all) that:

(i) where Condition 8.4(a) applies, the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the

Issuer that it wishes to receive them;

(ii) where Condition 8.4(b) applies, the Issuer is satisfied that the laws of both

Australia and the Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which the Issuer

is not bound to enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance with

conditions which the Issuer in its absolute discretion regards as acceptable

and not unduly onerous; and

(iii) where Condition 8.4(d) applies, the issue is net of the FATCA Withholding;

and, to the extent ANZGHL is not obliged to issue ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the

Subordinated Noteholder, ANZGHL will issue the balance of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares to the nominee in accordance with Condition 8.4(f); and

(f) otherwise, subject to applicable law, ANZGHL will issue the balance of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares in respect of the Subordinated Noteholder to a competent nominee

(which may not be the Issuer or any of its Related Entities) and will promptly notify

such Subordinated Noteholder of the name of and contact information for the

nominee and the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued to the nominee on its

behalf and, subject to applicable law and:

(i) subject to Condition 8.4(f)(ii), the nominee will as soon as reasonably

possible and no later than 35 days after issue of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares sell those ANZGHL Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to

the net proceeds received, after deducting any applicable brokerage, stamp

duty and other taxes and charges, to the Subordinated Noteholder;

(ii) where Condition 8.4(c) applies, the nominee will hold such ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares and will transfer ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to such

Subordinated Noteholder promptly after such Subordinated Noteholder

provides the nominee with the information required to be provided by such

Subordinated Noteholder under Condition 8.2 (as if a reference in Condition

8.2 to the Issuer is a reference to the nominee and a reference to the issue

of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares is a reference to the transfer of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares) but only where such information is provided to the nominee

within 30 days of the date on which ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are issued to

the nominee upon Conversion of such Subordinated Note and failing which

the nominee will sell the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares and pay the proceeds to

such Subordinated Noteholder in accordance with Condition 8.4(f)(i); and


56

(iii) where Condition 8.4(d) applies, the nominee shall deal with ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares the subject of a FATCA Withholding and any proceeds of

their disposal in accordance with FATCA;

(g) nothing in this Condition 8.4 shall affect the Conversion of the Subordinated Notes of

a Subordinated Noteholder who is not a person to which any of Condition 8.4(a) to

8.4(d) (inclusive) applies; and

(h) for the purposes of this Condition 8.4, none of the Issuer, ANZGHL or the nominee

owes any obligations or duties to the Subordinated Noteholders in relation to the

price at which ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are sold or has any liability for any loss

suffered by a Subordinated Noteholder as a result of the sale of ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares.

8.5 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes if Conversion is not effected within 5

Business Days after a Trigger Event Date

Notwithstanding any other provision of Condition 8 and provided that "Write-Off – Applicable"

is not specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, where Subordinated Notes are required to

be Converted on the Trigger Event Date and Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of

the Subordinated Notes that are subject to Conversion has not been effected within five

Business Days after the relevant Trigger Event Date for any reason (including an Inability

Event):

(a) the relevant Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note which, but for this

Condition 8.5, would be Converted, will not be Converted and instead will be Written-

Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date; and

(b) the Issuer shall notify the Subordinated Noteholders as promptly as practically

possible that Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes

has not occurred and that such Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has

been Written-Off.

8.6 Subordinated Noteholder acknowledgements

Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably:

(a) consents to becoming a member of ANZGHL upon the Conversion of the relevant

Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes as required by this Condition 8 and agrees

to be bound by the constitution of ANZGHL, in each case in respect of the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares issued to such Subordinated Noteholder on Conversion;

(b) acknowledges and agrees that it is obliged to accept ANZGHL Ordinary Shares upon

a Conversion of the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes it holds notwithstanding

anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion of such Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes including:

(i) any change in the financial position of the Issuer or ANZGHL, since the issue

of such Subordinated Notes;

Shares or to capital markets generally; or

(iii) any breach by the Issuer or ANZGHL of any obligation in connection with

such Subordinated Notes;

(c) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 7.3 applies:

(i) there are no other conditions to a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurring as

and when provided in Condition 7.2;


57

(ii) Conversion must occur immediately on the occurrence of a Non-Viability

Trigger Event and that may result in disruption or failures in trading or

dealings in the Subordinated Notes;

(iii) it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Conversion and that the

Subordinated Note does not confer a right to vote at any meeting of

members of the Issuer or ANZGHL; and

(iv) the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at

the time of issue, or at all;

(d) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 8.5 applies, no conditions or events

will affect the operation of that Condition and such Subordinated Noteholder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under that Condition and has no

claim against the Issuer or ANZGHL, arising in connection with the application of that

Condition;

(e) acknowledges and agrees that such Subordinated Noteholder has no right to request

a Conversion of any Principal Amount of any Subordinated Notes or to determine

whether (or in what circumstances) the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes it

holds is Converted;

(f) acknowledges and agrees that none of the following shall prevent, impede or delay

the Conversion or (where relevant) Write-Off of the Principal Amount of Subordinated

Notes:

(i) any failure to or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

(ii) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice or other notice required

by this Condition 8;

(iii) any failure or delay in quotation of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be

issued on Conversion;

(iv) any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Condition 7.4; and

(v) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes to be Converted in accordance with Condition 7.3(b)(ii)

or 7.3(c); and

(g) acknowledges and agrees that if, in respect of a Conversion, ANZGHL has issued

the Conversion Number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the holder of Subordinated

Notes but the Subordinated Note or portion thereof has not been transferred free

from encumbrance to or as directed by ANZGHL, the Subordinated Note or such

portion shall be Written-Off in accordance with Condition 8.7 without prejudice to the

issue of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares.

8.7 Meaning of “Written-Off”

For the purposes of Condition 8, “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of a Subordinated

Note or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion and a Trigger Event Date:

(a) the Subordinated Note or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion will

not be Converted on that date and will not be Converted or redeemed under these

Conditions on any subsequent date; and

(b) with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant

Subordinated Noteholder of the Subordinated Note or portion thereof (including any


58

right to receive any payment thereunder including payments of principal and interest

both in the future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to

such Subordinated Note or portion thereof are immediately and irrevocably

terminated and written-off; and

“Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.

9 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes

9.1 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date

If "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 9 shall

apply to the Subordinated Notes and on the Trigger Event Date the rights of the Subordinated

Noteholder of the relevant Subordinated Notes in relation to the relevant Principal Amount (as

determined under Condition 7.3) of the Subordinated Notes are Written-Off (as that term is

defined for the purposes of Condition 9).

Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that no conditions or

events will affect the operation of this Condition 9 and such Subordinated Noteholder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under this Condition 9.1.

9.2 Meaning of “Written-Off”

For the purposes of this Condition 9, “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of a

Subordinated Note or portion thereof and a Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant

Subordinated Noteholder (including any right to receive any payment thereunder including

payments of principal and interest both in the future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger

Event Date) in relation to such Subordinated Note or portion thereof are immediately and

irrevocably terminated and written-off, and “Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.

10 Substitution of Issuer

10.1 Application of this Conditions

Unless "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, this Condition

10 shall apply to the Subordinated Notes.

10.2 Substitution of Approved NOHC

Where:

(a) either of the following occurs:

(i) a takeover bid is made to acquire all or some of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares and such offer is, or becomes, unconditional and either:

(A) the bidder has at any time during the offer period, a relevant interest

in more than 50 per cent. of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on issue;

or

(B) the directors of the ANZGHL, acting as a board, issue a statement

that at least a majority of its directors who are eligible to do so have

recommended acceptance of such offer (in the absence of a higher

offer); or

(ii) a court orders the holding of meetings to approve a scheme of arrangement

under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act, which scheme would result in a

person having a relevant interest in more than 50 per cent. of the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares that will be on issue after the scheme is implemented and:


59

(A) all classes of members of ANZGHL pass all resolutions required to

approve the scheme by the majorities required under the

Corporations Act, to approve the scheme; and

(B) an independent expert issues a report that the proposals in

connection with the scheme are in the best interests of the holders

of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares; and

(b) the bidder or the person having a relevant interest in the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in

the ANZGHL after the scheme is implemented (or any entity that Controls the bidder

or the person having the relevant interest) is an Approved NOHC,

then the Issuer without further authority, assent or approval of the Subordinated Noteholders

may (but with the prior written approval of APRA):

(c) amend these Conditions such that, unless APRA otherwise agrees, on the date the

Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is to be Converted:

(i) each Subordinated Note that is being Converted in whole will be

automatically transferred by each holder of such Subordinated Note free

from encumbrance to the Approved NOHC (or another member of the ANZ

Group which is a holding company of the Issuer) (the "Transferee") on the

date the Conversion is to occur;

(ii) in respect of each Subordinated Note that is being Converted only in part, on

the date the Conversion is to occur:

(A) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note that is being

Converted shall be reduced to an amount equal to the non-

Converted portion of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated

Note in accordance with Condition 7.4; and

(B) the Approved NOHC will be taken to hold a new Subordinated Note

with a Principal Amount equal to the Converted portion of the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note being Converted,

provided that any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other

party in complying with the provisions of Condition 10.2(c)(ii) shall not

prevent, impede or delay the Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes;

(iii) each holder (or a nominee in accordance with Condition 8.2 or 8.4 (as

applicable), which provisions shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such

Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares) of the Subordinated Note or portion

thereof being Converted will be issued a number of Approved NOHC

Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Number and the provisions of the

Schedule to these Conditions shall apply (with any necessary changes) to

the determination of the number of such Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares;

(iv) as between the Issuer and the Transferee, each Subordinated Note held by

the Transferee as a result of Condition 10.2(c)(i) will be automatically

Converted into a number of ANZBGL Ordinary Shares in a number and at a

price such that the issued share capital held by the Transferee (or a wholly

owned subsidiary of the Transferee) increases by the amount by which the

issued ordinary share capital of the Approved NOHC increases on

Conversion; and

(v) make such other amendments as in the Issuer’s reasonable opinion are

necessary or appropriate to effect the substitution of an Approved NOHC as

the provider of the ordinary shares on Conversion in the manner

contemplated by these Conditions, including, where the terms upon which


60

the Approved NOHC acquires the Issuer are such that the number of

Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after the substitution

differs from the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on issue immediately

before that substitution (not involving any cash payment or other distribution

to or by the holders of any such shares), an adjustment to any relevant

VWAP or Issue Date VWAP consistent with the principles of adjustment set

out in the Schedule to these Conditions.

10.3 Notice of substitution of Approved NOHC

The Issuer shall give a notice to the Subordinated Noteholders as soon as practicable after

the substitution in accordance with Condition 10.2 specifying the amendments to these

Conditions which will be made in accordance with Condition 10.2 to effect the substitution of

an Approved NOHC as issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion.

10.4 Further substitutions

After a substitution under Condition 10.2, the Approved NOHC may without the authority,

approval or assent of the holder of Subordinated Notes, effect a further substitution in

accordance with Condition 10.2 (with necessary changes).

11 Payments


11.1 Payments by the Issuer

(a) Payments in respect of interest or principal on any Note made by the Issuer to

Holders will be made in accordance with details recorded with the Registrar by 5:00

pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

(b) When a Note is recorded in the Register as being held jointly, payment of interest or

principal (as the case may be) by the Issuer will be made to the Holders in their joint

names unless requested otherwise (and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer) by 5:00

pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

11.2 Method of Payment

Payments in respect of each Note will be made:

(a) where the Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, by crediting on the relevant

Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (determined in accordance with the Business

Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) the amount then due to

the account of the relevant Holder in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations; or

(b) if the relevant Notes have not been lodged or are removed from the Austraclear

System, by crediting on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments

of interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal, the amount then

due to a bank account in Australia previously notified by the Holder to the Registrar.

Each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date shall be determined in accordance

with the Business Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. If

the Holder has not notified the Registrar of such an account by 5.00pm local Registry

Office time on the relevant Record Date or upon application by the Holder to the

Registrar no later than 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record

Date, payments in respect of the relevant Note will be made by cheque mailed on the

Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date in the case

of payments of interest or on the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal,

at the Holder’s risk to the Holder (or to the first named of joint Holders) of such Note

at the address appearing in the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on

the relevant Record Date. Cheques to be despatched to the nominated address of a

Holder will in such case be deemed to have been received by the Holder on the

relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments of interest, or the Maturity


61

Date, in the case of payments of principal, and no further amount will be payable by

the Issuer in respect of the relevant Note as a result of payment not being received

by the Holder on the due date.

No payment of interest will be mailed to an address in the United States or transferred to an

account maintained by the Holder in the United States.

11.3 Payments Subject to Fiscal Laws

All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws, regulations and

directives, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 13. No commission or

expenses shall be charged to the Holders in respect of such payments.

11.4 Appointment of Agents

The Registrar and (if appointed) the Calculation Agent act solely as agents of the Issuer and

do not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder. The

Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of the Registrar or

(if appointed) the Calculation Agent, provided that the Issuer shall at all times maintain (i) a

Registrar, (ii) one or more Calculation Agent(s) where the Conditions so require, and (iii) such

other agents as may be required by the rules of any stock exchange, listing authority and/or

quotation system on which the Notes may be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation.

Notice of any change to the specified office of the Registrar or the Calculation Agent shall

promptly be given to the Holders in accordance with Condition 19.

12 Transfer

12.1 Transfer

(a) Unless Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, and subject to Condition 12.2, all

applications to transfer Notes must be made by lodging with the Registrar a properly

completed transfer and acceptance form in the form approved by the Issuer and the

Registrar. Any Certificate relating to the Notes to be transferred must also be

surrendered to the Registrar. Transfer and acceptance forms are available from any

Registry Office. Each Registry Office will provide prompt marking and transfer

services. Each transfer form must be accompanied by such evidence (if any) as the

Registrar may require to prove the title of the transferor or the transferor’s right to

transfer the Note, and be signed by both the transferor and the transferee. The

transfer takes effect upon the transferee’s name being entered on the Register.

(b) Notes lodged in the Austraclear System will be transferable only in accordance with

the Austraclear Regulations.

12.2 Limit on Transfer

(a) Notes may only be transferred within, to or from Australia in the denominations

specified in the Pricing Supplement and if the consideration payable at the time of

transfer is a minimum amount of A$500,000 (in either case, disregarding moneys lent

by the transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the

Corporations Act.

(b) Notes may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other

than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which

the transfer takes place and the transfer of the Notes otherwise does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the

transfer takes place.

12.3 Partial Transfers

Where a transferor executes a transfer of less than all Notes registered in its name, and the

identity of the specific Notes to be transferred are not identified, the Registrar may register


62

the transfer in respect of such of the Notes registered in the name of the transferor as the

Registrar thinks fit, provided the total Principal Amount of the Notes registered as having

been transferred equals the total Principal Amount of the Notes expressed to be transferred

in the transfer.

12.4 Closed Period

A transfer of a Note shall not be effective unless and until entered on the Register. The

Register will be closed for the purpose of determining entitlements to payments of interest

and repayments of any Principal Amount at 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the Record

Date prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, the relevant Maturity Date and any relevant

redemption date. Therefore, transfers must be received by the Registrar at the relevant

Registry Office prior to that time.

12.5 Stamp Duty

The Holder is responsible for any stamp duties or other similar taxes which are payable in

any jurisdiction in connection with any transfer, assignment or other dealing with the Notes.

12.6 Transmission

The Registrar must register a transfer of a Note to or by a person who is entitled to make or

receive the transfer in consequence of:

(a) death, bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up of a Holder; or

(b) the making of a vesting order by a court or other body with power to make the order,

on receiving the evidence of entitlement that the Registrar or the Issuer requires.

12.7 Austraclear Services Limited as Registrar

If Austraclear Services Limited is the Registrar and Notes are lodged in the Austraclear

System, despite any other provision of those Conditions, these Notes are not transferable on

the Register, and the Issuer may not, and must procure that the Registrar does not, register

any transfer of those Notes issued by it and no member of the Austraclear System has the

right to request any registration of any transfer of the relevant Notes, except:

(a) for the purposes of any Conversion, Write-Off, repurchase, redemption or

cancellation (whether on or before the Maturity Date of the relevant Note) of the

relevant Note, a transfer of the relevant Note from Austraclear to the Issuer (or if

applicable, to an Approved NOHC in accordance with Condition10) may be entered

in the Register; and

(b) if Austraclear exercises or purports to exercise any power it may have under the

Austraclear Regulations from time to time for the Austraclear System or these

Conditions, to require the relevant Note to be transferred on the Register to a

member of the Austraclear System, the relevant Note may be transferred on the

Register from Austraclear to the member of the Austraclear System.

In any of these cases, the relevant Note will cease to be held in the Austraclear System.

13 Taxation

13.1 General

Subject as provided below, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes shall

be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties,

assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected,

withheld or assessed by or within Australia or by any authority therein or thereof having

power to tax (together, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.


63

13.2 Issuer to pay additional amounts

Where such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer shall pay such additional

amounts to Holders as shall result in receipt by those Holders of such amounts as would

have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that

no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Note:

(a) in respect of which the Holder thereof is liable to such Taxes, duties, assessments or

governmental charges in respect of such Note by reason of its having some

connection with Australia, other than the mere holding of such Note or the receipt of

the relevant payment in respect thereof; or

(b) to the extent that the relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the Holder, or the

beneficial owner, of the Note not complying with any statutory requirements or not

having made a declaration of non-residence in, or lack of connection with, a relevant

jurisdiction or any similar claim for exemption; or

(c) in respect of which the Holder thereof is an Offshore Associate of the Issuer (acting

other than in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds

manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the

Corporations Act); or

(d) in respect of which the Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the Holder

of such Note being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid such Taxes, being a

scheme which the Issuer was neither a party to nor participated in; or

(e) to, or to a third party on behalf of, an Australian resident Holder or a non-resident

Holder who is engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or through a

permanent establishment of the non-resident in Australia, if that person has not

supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian business number or other

exemption details; or

(f) to a Holder that is not the beneficial owner of such Note to the extent that the

beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the payment of such

additional amounts had such beneficial owner been the Holder of such Note.

13.3 Tax File Number

The Issuer will deduct tax from payments of interest on the Notes at the highest marginal tax

rate plus the highest Medicare levy if an Australian resident investor or a non-resident

investor carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of the

non-resident in Australia has not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian Business

Number or exemption details.

13.4 References

References in these Conditions to (i) “principal” shall be deemed to include any premium

payable in respect of the Notes (other than Subordinated Notes for which there is no premium

payable), all Instalment Amounts, Final Redemption Amounts, Early Redemption Amounts,

Optional Redemption Amounts, Amortised Face Amounts and all other amounts in the nature

of principal payable pursuant to Condition 6, or any amendment or supplement to it, (ii)

“interest” shall be deemed to include all Interest Amounts and all other amounts payable

pursuant to Condition 4, or any amendment or supplement to it and (iii) “principal” and/or

“interest” shall be deemed to include any additional amounts that may be payable under this

Condition or any undertaking given in addition to or substitution for it under the Deed Poll.

Any additional amounts due in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in right

of payment as described in Condition 3.2, Condition 5.16 and Condition 16.

If the Issuer is or becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than or in

addition to Australia, references in Condition 6.2 and Condition 13 shall be read and

construed as including references to such other taxing jurisdiction(s).


64

13.5 FATCA

The Issuer or ANZGHL may withhold or make deductions from payments or from the issue of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to a Noteholder where it is required to do so under or in

connection with FATCA, or where it has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Noteholder

or a beneficial owner of the Notes may be subject to FATCA, and may deal with such

payment, and any ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in accordance with FATCA. If any withholding or

deduction arises under or in connection with FATCA, neither the Issuer nor ANZGHL will be

required to pay any further amounts or issue any further ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on

account of such withholding or deduction or otherwise reimburse or compensate, or make

any payment to, a Noteholder or a beneficial owner of the Notes for or in respect of any such

withholding or deduction. A dealing with such payment and any ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in

accordance with FATCA satisfies the obligations of the Issuer (and, as applicable, ANZGHL)

to that Noteholder to the extent of the amount of that payment or issue of ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares.

14 Prescription

Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Notes shall be prescribed and

become void unless made within ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case

of interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them.

15 Events of Default

15.1 Medium Term Notes

If any one of the following events (“Events of Default”) occurs and is continuing, the Holder

of any Medium Term Note of any Series may give written notice to the Registrar at its

Registry Office that such Medium Term Note is immediately repayable, whereupon it shall

immediately become due and repayable at its Early Redemption Amount together with

accrued interest to the date of payment unless, prior to the date that such written notice is

received by the Registrar, the Issuer shall have cured or otherwise made good all Events of

Default in respect of the Medium Term Notes of such Series:

(a) default is made in the payment of:

(i) any principal or Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount,

Optional Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Amortised Face

Amount (in the case of a Zero Coupon Note) (whether becoming due upon

redemption or otherwise) when due, in respect of any Medium Term Note of

such Series, and such default continues for a period of 15 days; or

(ii) any interest when due, in respect of any Medium Term Note of such Series,

and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or

(b) the Issuer fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under any Medium Term

Note of such Series other than those specified in paragraph (a) above and in such

case (except where such failure is incapable of remedy) such failure continues for a

period of 30 days next following the service by any Holder of any Medium Term Note

of such Series on the Issuer of written notice requiring the same to be remedied; or

(c) otherwise than for the purpose of an amalgamation or reconstruction or merger within

the meaning of these words under the laws of Australia, a resolution is passed that

the Issuer be wound up or dissolved; or

(d) the Issuer stops payment (within the meaning of Australian or any other applicable

bankruptcy law) of its obligations; or

(e) an encumbrancer takes possession of or a receiver is appointed of the whole or a

substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer and any such event is

continuing for 45 days after its occurrence and would materially prejudice the


65

performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such

Series or a distress or execution is levied or enforced upon or sued out against the

whole or a substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer which would

materially prejudice the performance of the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium

Term Notes of such Series and is not discharged within 60 days thereof; or

(f) proceedings shall have been initiated against the Issuer under any applicable

bankruptcy, reorganisation or other similar law and such proceedings shall not have

been discharged or stayed within a period of 60 days; or

(g) the Issuer shall initiate or consent to proceedings relating to itself under any

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, composition or other similar law (otherwise than

for the purpose of amalgamation, reconstruction or merger (within the meaning of

those words under the laws of Australia)) and such proceedings would materially

prejudice the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term

Notes of such Series.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 15.1, no Event of Default in respect of

any Medium Term Note shall occur solely on account of any failure by the Issuer to perform

or observe its obligations in relation to, or the taking of any process or proceeding in respect

of any share, note or other security or instrument constituting Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital.

15.2 Subordinated Notes

The following are Events of Default with respect to Subordinated Notes:

(a) The:

(i) making of an order by a court of the State of Victoria, Australia or a court

with appellate jurisdiction from such court which is not successfully appealed

or permanently stayed within 60 days of the entry of such order; or

(ii) valid passing by the Issuer's shareholders of an effective resolution,

in each case for the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection with

a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency);

and

(b) Subject to Condition 5.16:

(i) default in the payment of interest on any Subordinated Note when due,

continued for 30 days; or

(ii) default in the payment of principal of any Subordinated Note when due.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in paragraph (a) above, subject

to the subordination provisions, the Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid

interest on, the Subordinated Notes will automatically become due and payable.

If an Event of Default contemplated by paragraph (b) above with respect to any

Subordinated Notes occurs and is continuing, a Subordinated Noteholder may only,

in order to enforce the obligations of the Issuer under such Subordinated Notes:

(A) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (B) below, institute

proceedings in the State of Victoria, Australia (but not elsewhere) for

the winding-up of the Issuer (all subject to, and in accordance with,

the terms of Condition 16); or

(B) institute proceedings for recovery of the money then due, provided

that the Issuer will not, by virtue of the institution of any such


66

proceedings (other than proceedings for the winding-up of the

Issuer) be obliged to pay any sums representing principal or interest

in respect of the Subordinated Notes sooner than the same would

otherwise have been payable by it and provided that the Issuer is

Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any

such payment.

No remedy against the Issuer other than those referred to in this Condition 15.2, shall be

available to the Subordinated Noteholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in

respect of the Subordinated Notes or in respect of any breach by the issuer of any of its other

obligations under or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.

15.3 Notification

If an Event of Default occurs under Conditions 15.1 or 15.2 above, the Issuer will promptly

after becoming aware of it notify the Registrar of the occurrence of the Event of Default

specifying details of it and use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar

promptly notifies the Holders of the occurrence of the Event of Default by registered post to

the address of the Holders recorded in the Register.

16 Subordination

In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer constituting an Event of Default with respect to the

Subordinated Notes, there shall be payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes, subject

to the subordination provisions discussed above (see Condition 3.2 and Condition 5.16), an

amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes then outstanding, together

with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the repayment date.

As a result of the subordination provisions, no amount will be payable in the winding-up of the

Issuer in Australia in respect of the Subordinated Notes until all claims of Senior Creditors

admitted in the winding-up proceeding have been satisfied in full. By subscription for, or

transfer of, Subordinated Notes to a Subordinated Noteholder, that Subordinated Noteholder

will be taken to have agreed that no amount in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be

repaid until all the claims of the Senior Creditors admitted in the winding-up proceeding have

been satisfied accordingly. Accordingly, if proceedings with respect to the winding-up of the

Issuer in Australia were to occur, the Subordinated Noteholders could recover less relative to

the holders of deposit liabilities, the holders of Medium Term Notes and the holders of prior

ranking subordinated liabilities of the Issuer.

If in any such winding-up, the amount payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes and

any claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes cannot be paid in full, those

Subordinated Notes and other claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes will

share relatively in any distribution of the Issuer's assets in a winding-up in proportion to the

respective amounts to which they are entitled.

Any amount not paid due to Condition 5.16 or Condition 15.2, remains a debt owing to the

Noteholder by the Issuer until it is paid and will be payable on the first date on which payment

can be made in compliance with the relevant Condition.

17 Meetings of Holders, Modifications and Waiver

17.1 Meetings of Holders

Meetings of Holders may be convened in accordance with the Meeting Provisions contained

in Schedule 2 to the Deed Poll. Any such meeting may consider any matters affecting the

interests of Holders, including, without limitation, the variation of the terms of the Notes by the

Issuer and the granting of approvals, consents and waivers, and the declaration of an Event

of Default.


67

17.2 Modification of the Deed Poll

Subject to Condition 17.3:

(a) the Deed Poll or the terms of any Series of Notes may be amended by the Issuer,

without the consent of any Holder, if in the opinion of the Issuer, the amendment:

(i) is necessary or advisable to comply with any law;

(ii) is necessary to correct an obvious error or omission, or is otherwise of a

formal, minor, technical or administrative nature only;

(iii) is made for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or

supplementing any defective provision;

(iv) is not materially prejudicial to the rights of Holders generally; or

(v) only applies to Notes issued by the Issuer after the date of the amendment;

and

(b) in all other circumstances, the Deed Poll or the terms of any Series of Notes may be

amended with the approval of Holders by an Extraordinary Resolution. The Issuer

will notify the Registrar of any amendments made pursuant to this Condition and will

use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar notifies the Holders of

the amendment by post to the address of the Holders recorded in the Register.

In the case of an amendment to the terms of any Series of Notes, reference in this Condition

17.2 to “Holders” are to be taken to refer to the Holders of that Series of Notes.

17.3 No changes which may affect Tier 2 Capital eligibility

The prior written approval of APRA is required in respect of any modification, abrogation,

variation, amendment, waiver or compromise in respect of the terms of any Series of

Subordinated Notes or the Deed Poll where such modification, abrogation, variation,

amendment, waiver or compromise may affect the eligibility of any Series of Subordinated

Notes as Tier 2 Capital.

18 Further Issues of Notes

The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Holders create and issue further

securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all

respects except for the Issue Date or first payment of interest on them) and so that such

further issue of securities shall be consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding

Notes of any Series or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their

issue. References in these Conditions to the Notes include (unless the context requires

otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single Series

with the Notes.

19 Notices

19.1 To Holders

All notices by the Issuer to Holders must be in writing and may be:

(a) posted by ordinary mail to the relevant Holder at its address appearing on the

Register (or in the case of joint Holders to the first named) and, if so, shall be

deemed to have been given on the sixth Business Day after posting if posted to an

address in Australia and on the tenth Business Day if posted to an address outside of

Australia; or


68

(b) given by the Issuer publishing the notice on its website and announcing the

publication of the notice to ASX and shall be deemed to have been given when the

announcement is made on ASX.

19.2 To the Issuer and Registrar

All notices by a Holder to the Issuer and Registrar will be valid if posted by ordinary mail to

the Issuer and the Registrar at their addresses specified above. Unless a later time is

specified in it, a notice by a Holder takes effect from the time it is received by the Issuer or

Registrar except that if it is received after 5.00pm in the place of receipt or not on a Business

Day, it is to be taken to be received at 9.00am on the next succeeding Business Day in that

place.

20 Governing Law

The Notes are governed by the laws in force in the State of Victoria and Australia.

Schedule to the Conditions of the Notes

1 Conversion

If ANZGHL must Convert a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note in accordance with the

Conditions, then, subject to this Schedule and Condition 10.2 and unless the Pricing

Supplement specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number applies, the following

provisions apply (provided, in all cases, that where a Subordinated Note is required to be

Converted only in part, references in this Schedule to the "Subordinated Note" shall be taken

to be references to the "Affected Subordinated Note" as defined in Condition 7.4(b)):

(a) the Subordinated Note will be automatically transferred free from any encumbrance

to ANZGHL on the Trigger Event Date;

(b) ANZGHL will allot and issue on the Trigger Event Date a number of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares in respect of the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note equal

to the “Conversion Number”, where the Conversion Number (but subject to the

Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion Number) is a

number calculated according to the following formula:

Conversion Number =

Principal Amount

((1- CD) × VWAP)

where:

“CD” means the conversion discount specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement;

“VWAP” (expressed in dollars and cents) means the VWAP during the VWAP Period

and where the “Maximum Conversion Number” means a number calculated

according to the following formula:

Maximum Conversion Number =

Principal Amount

Issue Date VWAP × 0.2

(c) on the Trigger Event Date the rights of each Subordinated Noteholder (including to

payment of interest with respect to such Principal Amount, both in the future and as

accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to each Subordinated

Note or portion thereof that is being Converted will be automatically transferred for an

amount equal to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note that is being

Converted and that Principal Amount will be applied in accordance with the Deed of

Undertaking by way of payment for subscription for the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to

be allotted and issued under Section 1(b) of this Schedule and the Deed of

Undertaking. Each Subordinated Noteholder is taken to have irrevocably directed

that any amount payable under Section 1 of this Schedule is to be applied as

provided for in Section 1 of this Schedule and no Subordinated Noteholder has any

right to payment in any other way;

(d) any calculation under Section 1(b) of this Schedule shall be, unless the context

requires otherwise, be rounded to four decimal places provided that if the total

number of additional ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a Subordinated

Noteholder in respect of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes it

holds which is being Converted includes a fraction of an ANZGHL Ordinary Share,

that fraction of an ANZGHL Ordinary Share will be disregarded;

(e) the rights attaching to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued as a result of Conversion do

not take effect until 5.00pm (Melbourne, Australia time) on the Trigger Event Date

(unless another time is required for Conversion on that date). At that time all other

rights conferred or restrictions imposed on that Subordinated Note under the

Conditions will no longer have effect to the extent of the Principal Amount of that

Subordinated Note being Converted (except for the right to receive the ANZGHL


70

Ordinary Shares as set forth in Section 1 of this Schedule and Condition 8 and

except for rights relating to interest which is payable but has not been paid on or

before the Trigger Event Date which will continue); and

(f) under the arrangements as agreed between, amongst others, ANZGHL and the

Issuer and relevant members of the ANZ Group, deal with the Subordinated Notes

being Converted so that they are converted into ANZBGL Ordinary Shares and

terminated (the "Related Conversion Steps").

2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in the Conditions:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period, ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as cum

dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement and the relevant Principal

Amount of Subordinated Notes will Convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares after the

date those ANZGHL Ordinary Shares no longer carry that dividend or any other

distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares have been quoted cum dividend or cum any other

distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount ("Cum Value") equal to:

(i) (in case of a dividend or other distribution), the amount of that dividend or

other distribution including, if the dividend or other distribution is franked, the

amount that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the

dividend or other distribution who is both a resident of Australia and a natural

person under the Tax Act;

(ii) (in the case of any other entitlement that is not a dividend or other

distribution under Section 2(a)(i) of this Schedule which is traded on the

Australian Securities Exchange on any of those Business Days), the volume

weighted average sale price of all such entitlements sold on the Australian

Securities Exchange during the VWAP Period on the Business Days on

which those entitlements were traded; or

(iii) (in the case of any other entitlement which is not traded on the Australian

Securities Exchange during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement

as reasonably determined by the directors of ANZGHL; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as ex dividend or

ex any other distribution or entitlement, and the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes will Convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares which would be

entitled to receive the relevant dividend or other distribution or entitlement, the VWAP

on the Business Days on which those ANZGHL Ordinary Shares have been quoted

ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement shall be increased by the Cum

Value.

3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change in the number of the

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a division, consolidation or

reclassification of ANZGHL’s share capital (not involving any cash payment or other

distribution (or compensation) to or by holders of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares) (a

"Reorganisation"), in calculating the VWAP for that VWAP Period the daily VWAP

applicable on each day in the relevant VWAP Period which falls before the date on

which trading in ANZGHL Ordinary Shares is conducted on a post Reorganisation

basis shall be adjusted by multiplying such daily VWAP by the following formula:


71

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Schedule will, absent

manifest error, be effective and binding on Subordinated Noteholders under these

Conditions and these Conditions will be construed accordingly. Any such adjustment

must be promptly notified to all Subordinated Noteholders.

4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, corresponding adjustments to VWAP

will be made in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 of this Schedule during the 20

Business Day period over which VWAP is calculated for the purposes of determining the

Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with Sections 5 to 7 of this Schedule (inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for bonus issues

(a) Subject to Section 5(b) of this Schedule below, if at any time after the Issue Date

ANZGHL makes a pro rata bonus issue of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to holders of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares generally, the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted

immediately in accordance with the following formula:

V = V

o

x

RD

RD + RN

where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application of this

formula;

V

o

means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately prior to the application of this

formula;

RN means the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the bonus

issue; and

RD means the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on issue immediately prior to the

allotment of new ANZGHL Ordinary Shares pursuant to the bonus issue.

(b) Section 5(a) of this Schedule does not apply to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued as

part of a bonus share plan, employee or executive share plan, executive option plan,

share top up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend reinvestment plan.

(c) For the purpose of Section 5(a) of this Schedule, an issue will be regarded as a pro

rata issue notwithstanding that ANZGHL does not make offers to some or all holders

of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside Australia, provided

that in so doing ANZGHL is not in contravention of the ASX Listing Rules.


72

(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this Section 5 of this

Schedule for any offer of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares not covered by Section 5(a) of

this Schedule, including a rights issue or other essentially pro rata issue.

(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares except

as covered by Section 5(a) of this Schedule shall not in any way restrict ANZGHL

from issuing ANZGHL Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit nor

require any consent or concurrence of any Subordinated Noteholders.

6 Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP for divisions and similar

transactions

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date, a Reorganisation occurs, the Issuer shall adjust

the Issue Date VWAP by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP applicable on the

Business Day immediately before the date of any such Reorganisation by the

following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares immediately before

the Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 6(a) of this

Schedule will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on Subordinated

Noteholders under these Conditions and these Conditions will be construed

accordingly.

(c) Each Subordinated Noteholder acknowledges that the Issuer may, consolidate,

divide or reclassify securities so that there is a lesser or greater number of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action

requiring any consent or concurrence of any Subordinated Noteholders.

7 No adjustment to Issue Date VWAP in certain circumstances

Despite the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Schedule, no adjustment shall be

made to the Issue Date VWAP where such adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less

than one per cent. of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

8 Announcement of adjustment to Issue Date VWAP

The Issuer will notify Subordinated Noteholders of any adjustment to the Issue Date VWAP

under this Schedule within ten Business Days of the Issuer determining the adjustment and

the adjustment set out in the announcement will be final and binding.

9 ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

Each ANZGHL Ordinary Share issued or arising upon Conversion ranks pari passu with all

other fully paid ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. The Subordinated Noteholders agree not to trade

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion (except as permitted by the Corporations

Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules) until ANZGHL has taken such steps as

are required by the Corporations Act, other applicable laws and the ASX Listing Rules for the

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be freely tradeable without such further disclosure or other


73

action and agree to allow ANZGHL to impose a holding lock or to refuse to register a transfer

in respect of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares until such time.

10 Listing ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion

ANZGHL shall use all reasonable endeavours to list the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued

upon Conversion of the Subordinated Notes on the Australian Securities Exchange.

11 Alternative Conversion Number

If the Issuer must Convert a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note in accordance with the

Conditions and the Pricing Supplement specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number

applies, then:

(a) Section 1 of this Schedule applies on the basis that the Conversion Number for the

purposes of Section 1(b) of this Schedule is the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

specified in the Pricing Supplement as the Alternative Conversion Number (subject to

the Alternative Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion

Number as determined in accordance with Section 1(b) of this Schedule); and

(b) Sections 2 to 8 (inclusive) of this Schedule do not apply to the Alternative Conversion

Number.

12 Definitions

For the purposes of this Schedule the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Affected Subordinated Note has the meaning given in Condition 7.4(b).

Cum Value has the meaning given in Section 2 of this Schedule.

Issue Date VWAP means, in respect of Subordinated Notes of a Series, the VWAP during

the Subordinated Note is not Australian Dollars, with each such daily price converted into the

Specified Currency on the basis of the spot rate of exchange for the sale of Australian Dollars

against the purchase of the relevant Specified Currency in the Sydney foreign exchange

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are listed becomes other than the Australian Securities Exchange,

unless the context otherwise requires a reference to the Australian Securities Exchange shall

be read as a reference to that principal securities exchange and a reference to the ASX Listing

75

DESCRIPTION OF THE ANZGHL ORDINARY SHARES TO BE ISSUED UPON CONVERSION OF

SUBORDINATED NOTES THAT ARE SUBJECT TO CONVERSION

This section contains information relevant to the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares that are issuable upon

Conversion of Subordinated Notes if a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs.

The Subordinated Notes are not guaranteed by any person, including ANZGHL. In particular,

ANZGHL does not (i) issue Subordinated Notes under this Programme; (ii) guarantee the Issuer’s

obligations generally or in connection with the Subordinated Notes; (iii) have any obligations in

respect of Subordinated Notes issued by the Issuer under this Programme, except to the extent

that such Subordinated Notes are subject to Conversion into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares as

provided in the terms of the Subordinated Notes.

Description of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares and ANZGHL’s Constitution

The rights and liabilities attaching to the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are set out in the ANZGHL

constitution (“Constitution”) and are also regulated by the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and

the general law.

A summary of the key rights attaching to the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares is set out below. Any ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares issued upon Conversion of the Subordinated Notes will be fully paid ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any shares or class of shares, registered holders of an

ANZGHL Ordinary Share (“ANZGHL Shareholders”) are entitled to attend and vote at a general

meeting of ANZGHL. 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 ANZGHL Shareholder present has one vote.

On a poll, each ANZGHL Shareholder has one vote for each ANZGHL Ordinary Share. Partly paid

ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL Ordinary Share.

General meetings

Notice of a general meeting must be given to each ANZGHL Shareholder in accordance with the

Corporations Act. Each ANZGHL Shareholder is entitled to receive notices, financial statements and

other documents required to be provided to ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL Ordinary Shares,

the board of directors of ANZGHL (“ANZGHL Board”) may resolve to pay dividends on ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares which are considered by the ANZGHL Board to be appropriate, in proportion to the

capital paid up on the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares held by each ANZGHL Shareholder.

Payment of a dividend on ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may also be restricted by the terms of preference

shares and other hybrid securities carrying a prior right to the payment of a dividend or distribution.

Before paying any dividend, directors of ANZGHL must ensure that they are in compliance with APRA

prudential standards.

Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan

ANZGHL Shareholders who are eligible may participate in ANZGHL'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. ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL Board otherwise determines, participation in ANZGHL’s dividend


76

reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is not available directly or indirectly to any entity or person

(including any legal or beneficial owner of ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL Shareholders on a winding-up of ANZGHL

lf ANZGHL is wound up and its property is more than sufficient to pay all debts, share capital of ANZGHL

and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be divided among ANZGHL Shareholders in

proportion to the capital paid up on the ANZGHL 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

ANZGHL Ordinary Share is counted as a fraction of a fully paid ANZGHL Ordinary Share equal to the

proportion which the amount paid on it bears to the total issue price of the ANZGHL Ordinary Share.

However, with the sanction of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide among ANZGHL

Shareholders the assets of ANZGHL in kind and decide how the division is to be carried out or vest

assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of ANZGHL Shareholders as the liquidator thinks

appropriate.

Transfer of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may be transferred by any means permitted by the Corporations Act or by

law. The ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL Board may issue or

grant options in respect of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on such terms as the ANZGHL Board decides.

The ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL.

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

ANZGHL 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 ANZGHL.

Arrangements for holding and transfers of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

Holdings and transfers of legal title to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are recorded and effected via CHESS.

CHESS is used to facilitate the clearing and settlement of trades in shares and to provide an electronic

subregister for shares in companies listed on ASX.


77

Deed of Undertaking

In respect of its obligations in connection with Conversion of Subordinated Notes, ANZGHL has entered

into the Deed of Undertaking for the benefit of holders of Subordinated Notes which are subject to

Conversion into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. Under the Deed of Undertaking, ANZGHL undertakes to

perform its obligations relating to a Conversion (including in connection with the issue and delivery of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to Subordinated Noteholders upon a Conversion), to use all reasonable

endeavours to list and procure quotation of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued or arising from a

Conversion on the ASX, to ensure that the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued or arising from a

Conversion will rank equally with all other fully paid ANZGHL Ordinary Shares, and from the applicable

Trigger Event Date (subject to the provisions of the Subordinated Notes relating to Write-Off), to treat

each Subordinated Noteholder as the holder of the Conversion Number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to

take all such steps, including updating any register, required to record the Conversion, and to otherwise

comply with the terms of the Subordinated Notes.

ANZGHL has no other obligation or liability in respect of any Subordinated Note or portion thereof. The

remedies of a Subordinated Noteholder in respect of any failure of ANZGHL to issue the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares upon a Conversion are limited in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Notes

and the Deed of Undertaking, which provide that Subordinated Noteholders have no rights against

ANZGHL in respect of the Subordinated Notes other than (and subject always to where Write-Off

applies) to seek specific performance of the obligation to issue the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares. The

making of an order for specific performance is in the discretion of the court.


78

USE OF PROCEEDS


The net proceeds from the issue of any Notes will be used by the Issuer for its general corporate

purposes.

SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE

Subject to the terms and on the conditions contained in each relevant subscription agreement (each a

“Subscription Agreement”) entered into between the Issuer and the relevant Dealers, the Notes will

be offered from time to time by the Issuer to the Dealers. However, the Issuer has reserved the right

to sell Notes directly on its own behalf to other intermediaries and purchasers procured by it.

The Issuer will agree to indemnify the Dealer(s) against certain liabilities in connection with the offer

and sale of the Notes. Each Subscription Agreement will entitle the relevant Dealers to terminate any

agreement that they may make to subscribe for Notes in certain circumstances prior to payment for

such Notes being made to the Issuer. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the

relevant Subscription Agreement and the Information Memorandum or the Conditions, the provisions

of the relevant Subscription Agreement shall apply.

The Issuer may pay each relevant Dealer a commission as agreed between the Issuer and that Dealer

in respect of a Tranche of Notes, which commission may be deducted from the net proceeds payable

to the Issuer on the closing of that Series. The Issuer may agree to reimburse the relevant Dealers for

certain of their activities in connection with the issue of a Tranche of Notes.

Australia

No prospectus, product disclosure document or other disclosure document (as defined in the

Corporations Act) in relation to the Programme or any Notes has been or will be lodged with or

registered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”). This Information

Memorandum is not a prospectus, product disclosure document or other disclosure document for the

purposes of the Corporations Act. No action has been taken which would permit an offering of the Notes

in circumstances that would require disclosure under Part 6D.2 or Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act.

Each Dealer appointed under the Programme will be deemed to represent and agree that in connection

with the distribution of the Notes, it has not:

Act) a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

"The Notes covered hereby have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities

Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or

other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for

the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40

days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes comprising the relevant Tranche

and the completion of the distribution of the Notes comprising the relevant Tranche, as determined and

certified by [Name of Dealer or Dealers, as the case may be], except, in either case, in accordance with

Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meaning given to them

by Regulation S under the Securities Act."

Each Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree to notify the Issuer when it has

completed its distribution of the Notes of any Tranche. In addition, until 40 days after the later of the

commencement of the offering of the Notes comprising the relevant Tranche and the completion of the

distribution of the Notes comprising the relevant Tranche, any offer or sale of Notes within the United

States by a Dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements

of the Securities Act.

Each issuance of index-, commodity- or currency-linked Notes may be subject to such additional U.S.

selling restrictions as the relevant Dealer may agree with the Issuer as a term of the issuance, and

purchase or, as the case may be, subscription of such Notes. Each Dealer appointed under the

Programme will be required agree, that it shall offer, sell and deliver such Notes only in compliance with

such additional U.S. selling restrictions.

that purpose is required.

shall have any responsibility therefor.

in title of that Holder of a Note.

2.2 Title

Entry of the name of the person purchasing a Note, or the transferee of a Note on the

Register at the relevant time will constitute the passing of title of that Note and will be

conclusive evidence of that person’s entitlements to receive interest and repayment of

principal in the manner provided for in these Conditions (subject to rectification for fraud or

error). A Note registered in the name of more than one person is held by those persons as

joint tenants (unless requested otherwise and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer). Notes will


22

be registered by name only without reference to any trusteeship. Neither the Issuer nor the

Registrar is, except as required by law, obliged to take notice of any other claim to a Note.

not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the

Corporations Act.

(b) Notes may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than

Australia if the issue is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the

issue or sale is made and the Notes are otherwise issued or sold in a manner that

does not require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those

jurisdictions.

2.6 Austraclear

If Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, the Registrar will enter Austraclear in the

Register as the Holder of those Notes. While those Notes remain in the Austraclear System,

all dealings (including transfers and payments) in relation to those Notes within the

Austraclear System will be governed by the Austraclear Regulations and need not comply

with these Conditions to the extent of any inconsistency provided that, in respect of

Subordinated Notes, the Austraclear Regulations do not override these Conditions if it would

impact the eligibility of the Subordinated Notes as Tier 2 Capital.

2.7 Certificates

No certificate or other evidence of title will be issued by or on behalf of the Issuer to evidence

title to a Note unless the Issuer determines that such certificates should be made available or

it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

2.8 Acknowledgment

Where Austraclear is recorded in the Register as the Holder, each person in whose Security

Record (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) that Note is recorded is deemed to

acknowledge in favour of the Registrar and Austraclear that:

(a) the Registrar’s decision to act as the Registrar of the Note does not constitute a

recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to the

Note but only indicates that such Note is considered by the Registrar to be

compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under its

agreement with the Issuer to act as Registrar of the Note; and

(b) the Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to Condition

2.8(a).

interface between the Register maintained by the Registrar and CHESS is established the

Conditions and any other Programme documents may be amended to facilitate settlement on

CHESS and so that the Notes will become CHESS approved securities.

3 Status

Pricing Supplement.

The Notes are not a deposit liability or protected account for the purposes of the Banking Act

and do not otherwise benefit from a priority under the Banking Act or other applicable law.

3.1 Medium Term Notes

The Medium Term Notes constitute senior, direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of

the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other present and

future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer (save for certain liabilities

mandatorily preferred by law including, but not limited to, amounts given priority under the

Banking Act and the Reserve Bank Act).

The Medium Term Notes rank senior to the Issuer's subordinated obligations, including the

commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (see Condition 5.16), the principal amount of,

any interest on, and any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the

Subordinated Notes will rank behind all claims of Senior Creditors and subject to Conditions 7

to 9 (inclusive), pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities and ahead of Junior Ranking

Securities.

Neither the Issuer nor a Subordinated Noteholder has any contractual right to set off any sum

at any time due and payable to a Subordinated Noteholder or the Issuer (as applicable) under

or in relation to the Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the Subordinated

Noteholder to the Issuer or by the Issuer to the Subordinated Noteholder (as applicable).

The Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of liabilities ranking senior to the

Subordinated Notes that may be hereafter incurred or assumed by the Issuer.

The Subordinated Notes are not a deposit liability of the Issuer or protected account for the

purposes of the Banking Act and do not otherwise benefit from a priority under the Banking

Act or other applicable law.

the Rate of Interest shall be the arithmetic mean of the rates per annum (expressed

as a percentage) that the Calculation Agent determines to be the rates (being the

nearest equivalent to the Reference Rate) that at least two out of five leading banks

selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Issuer) in the Relevant


25

Financial Centre, are quoting at or about the then prevailing Publication Time for a

period equivalent to the relative Interest Accrual Period to leading banks carrying on

business in the Relevant Financial Centre; except that, if fewer than two of such

banks are so quoting to such leading banks, the Rate of Interest shall be the Rate of

Interest determined on the previous Interest Determination Date (in the case of the

Medium Term Notes only, after readjustment for any difference between any Margin,

Rate Multiplier or Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest applicable to the preceding

Interest Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest Accrual Period).

5.4 Screen Rate Benchmark Replacement

If the Calculation Agent determines that the Reference Rate has been affected by a

Reference Rate Disruption Event, then the following provisions shall apply:

(a) the Calculation Agent shall use as the “Reference Rate” such Successor Reference

Rate and such terms and other methodology described in paragraph (b) below that it

has determined;

(b) if the Calculation Agent has determined a Successor Reference Rate in accordance

with paragraph (a) above, the Calculation Agent may determine the Business Day

Convention, the definitions of Business Day, Day Count Fraction, Publication Time,

Relevant Screen Page, Relevant Time, Reference Rate and Interest Determination

Date and any other relevant methodology for calculating such Successor Reference

Rate, including any adjustment factor it determines is needed to make such

Successor Reference Rate comparable to the Reference Rate, subject to APRA’s

prior written approval in the case of Subordinated Notes; and

(c) if, in respect of an Interest Period or an Interest Accrual Period, the Calculation Agent

is unable to determine a Successor Reference Rate in accordance with paragraphs

(a) and (b) above, the Reference Rate for:

(i) that Interest Period or Interest Accrual Period shall be the Reference Rate

determined on the previous Interest Determination Date; and

(ii) any subsequent Interest Periods or Interest Accrual Periods shall be

determined in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) above and, if

necessary, this paragraph (c).

In the case of Subordinated Notes only, any Successor Reference Rate determined

by the Calculation Agent in accordance with paragraph (a) above, and any terms and

other relevant methodology for calculating such Successor Reference Rate (including

any adjustment factor to the Successor Reference Rate) determined by the

Calculation Agent in accordance with paragraph (b) above, will be subject to the prior

written approval of APRA having been obtained in each case.

Subordinated Noteholders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for

any Successor Reference Rate, and any terms and other relevant methodology for

calculating such Successor Reference Rate (including any adjustment factor to the

Successor Reference Rate) it considers to have the effect of increasing the Rate of

Interest contrary to applicable prudential standards.

(d) In making its determinations in accordance with Condition 5.4, the Calculation Agent:

(i) shall act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; and

(ii) may consult with such sources of market practice as it considers appropriate,

but otherwise may make such determination in its discretion (subject, in the case of

Subordinated Notes only, to the requirement for APRA’s prior written approval as

specified in this Condition 5.4 above).


26

(e) For the purposes of this Condition 5.4:

(i) “Reference Rate Disruption Event” means that:

(A) the Reference Rate has been discontinued or otherwise ceased to

be calculated or administered; or

(B) the Reference Rate is no longer generally accepted in the Australian

market as a reference rate appropriate to floating rate debt

securities of a tenor and interest period comparable to that of the

Floating Rate Security; and

(ii) “Successor Reference Rate” means a rate that is generally accepted in the

Australian market as the successor to the Reference Rate, or if there is no

such rate, a reference rate appropriate to floating rate debt securities of a

tenor and interest period most comparable to that of the Floating Rate

Security.

5.5 BBSW Rate Determination and AONIA Rate Determination

(a) Where BBSW Rate Determination or AONIA Rate Determination is specified in the

relevant Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be

determined for each Interest Period, the Rate of Interest applicable to the Floating

Rate Notes for each such Interest Period is the sum of the Margin and either (x) the

BBSW Rate or (y) the AONIA Rate as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

(b) Each Holder shall be deemed to acknowledge, accept and agree to be bound by, and

consents to, the determination of, substitution for and any adjustments made to the

BBSW Rate or the AONIA Rate, as applicable, in each case as described in this

Condition 5.5 and in Condition 5.6 below (in all cases without the need for any Holder

consent). Any determination, decision or election (including a decision to take or

refrain from taking any action or as to the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event

or circumstance), and any substitution for and adjustments made to, the BBSW Rate

or the AONIA Rate, as applicable, and in each case made in accordance with this

Condition 5.5 and Condition 5.6, will, in the absence of manifest or proven error, be

conclusive and binding on the Issuer, the holder of the relevant Notes and each

Calculation Agent and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Conditions

or other documentation relating to the Notes, shall become effective without the

consent of any person (except as expressly provided in Condition 5.6 in the case of

Subordinated Notes).

(c) If the Calculation Agent is a person other than the Issuer and that person is unwilling

or unable to determine a necessary rate, adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology

or other variable in order to calculate the applicable Rate of Interest, such rate,

adjustment, quantum, formula, methodology or other variable will be determined by

the Issuer (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) or, an

alternate financial institution (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable

manner) appointed by the Issuer (in its sole discretion) to so determine.

(d) All rates determined pursuant to this Condition 5.5 shall be expressed as a

percentage rate per annum and the resulting percentage will be rounded if necessary

to the fourth decimal place (i.e., to the nearest one ten-thousandth of a percentage

point) with 0.00005 being rounded upwards.

5.6 BBSW and AONIA Benchmark Rate fallback

If:

(a) a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred; or


27

(b) a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred,

then, subject to APRA’s prior written approval in the case of Subordinated Notes, the

Benchmark Rate for an Interest Period, whilst such Temporary Disruption Trigger is

continuing or after a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger has occurred, means (in the following

order of application and precedence):

(c) where BBSW Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate, if a Temporary Disruption

Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, in the following order of

precedence:

(i) first, the Administrator Recommended Rate;

(ii) then the Supervisor Recommended Rate; and

(iii) lastly, the Final Fallback Rate;

(d) where the AONIA Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate or a determination of the

AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (a) above, if a Temporary

Disruption Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for which

AONIA is required will be the last provided or published level of AONIA;

(e) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes

of paragraph (c) or (d) above, if a Temporary Disruption Trigger has occurred with

respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for which the RBA

Recommended Rate is required will be the last rate provided or published by the

Administrator of the RBA Recommended Rate (or if no such rate has been so

provided or published, the last provided or published level of AONIA);

(f) where BBSW Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate, if a Permanent

Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to the BBSW Rate, the rate for any

day for which the BBSW Rate is required on or after the Permanent Fallback

Effective Date will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(i) first, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, no

AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the AONIA Rate;

(ii) then, if at the time of the BBSW Rate Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an

AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, an RBA

Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate

Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended

Fallback Rate; and

(iii) lastly, if neither paragraph (i) nor paragraph (ii) above apply, the Final

Fallback Rate;

(g) where the AONIA Rate is the Applicable Benchmark Rate or a determination of the

AONIA Rate is required for the purposes of paragraph (f)(i) above, if a Permanent

Discontinuation Trigger has occurred with respect to AONIA, the rate for any day for

which AONIA is required on or after the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date

will be the first rate available in the following order of precedence:

(i) first, if at the time of the AONIA Permanent Fallback Effective Date, an RBA

Recommended Rate has been created but no RBA Recommended Rate

Permanent Fallback Effective Date has occurred, the RBA Recommended

Rate; and

(ii) lastly, if paragraph (i) above does not apply, the Final Fallback Rate; and


28

(h) where a determination of the RBA Recommended Rate is required for the purposes

of paragraph (f) or (g) above, respectively, if a Permanent Discontinuation Trigger

has occurred with respect to the RBA Recommended Rate, the rate for any day for

which the RBA Recommended Rate is required on or after that Permanent Fallback

Effective Date will be the Final Fallback Rate.

When calculating an amount of interest in circumstances where a Fallback Rate other than

the Final Fallback Rate applies, that interest will be calculated as if references to the BBSW

Rate or AONIA Rate (as applicable) were references to that Fallback Rate. When calculating

interest in circumstances where the Final Fallback Rate applies, the amount of interest will be

calculated on the same basis as if the Applicable Benchmark Rate in effect immediately prior

to the application of that Final Fallback Rate remained in effect but with necessary

adjustments to substitute all references to that Applicable Benchmark Rate with

corresponding references to the Final Fallback Rate.

Subordinated Noteholders should note that APRA's approval may not be given for any

Fallback Rate, and any terms and other relevant methodology for calculating such Fallback

Rate (including any adjustment factor to the Fallback Rate) it considers to have the effect of

increasing the Rate of Interest contrary to applicable prudential standards.

5.7 Rate of Interest for Index Linked Interest Notes

The Rate of Interest in respect of Index Linked Interest Notes for each Interest Accrual Period

shall be determined in the manner specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and interest

will accrue by reference to an Index or formula as specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement.

5.8 Linear Interpolation

If the Pricing Supplement states that “Linear Interpolation” applies to an Interest Period, the

Calculation Agent must determine the Rate of Interest for that Interest Period using straight

line interpolation by reference to two rates determined using the Screen Rate Determination

or other floating rates, in each case, as specified in the Pricing Supplement. The first rate

must be determined as if the Interest Period were the period of time for which rates are

available next shorter than the length of the Interest Period (or any alternative Interest Period

specified in the Pricing Supplement). The second rate must be determined as if the Interest

Period were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of the

Interest Period (or any alternative Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).

5.9 Zero Coupon Notes

Where a Note, the Interest Basis of which is specified in the Pricing Supplement to be Zero

Coupon, is repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amount due

and payable prior to the Maturity Date shall be the Early Redemption Amount of such Note,

unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement. As from the Maturity Date, the Rate of

Interest for any overdue principal of such a Note shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a

percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield.

5.10 Accrual of Interest

Interest shall cease to accrue on each Note on the due date for redemption unless payment

is improperly withheld or refused, in which event interest shall continue to accrue (as well

after as before judgment) on the outstanding Principal Amount of the Note at the Rate of

Interest in the manner provided in this Condition 5 to the Relevant Date.

5.11 Margin, Maximum/Minimum Rates of Interest, Instalment Amounts and

Redemption Amounts, Rate Multipliers and rounding

(a) If any Margin or Rate Multiplier is specified in the Pricing Supplement (either (x)

generally, or (y) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment

shall be made to all Rates of Interest, in the case of (x), or the Rates of Interest for

the specified Interest Accrual Periods, in the case of (y), calculated in accordance


29

with 5 above by adding (if a positive number) or subtracting (if a negative number)

the absolute value of such Margin or multiplying by such Rate Multiplier, subject

always to the next paragraph.

(b) If any Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or

Optional Redemption Amount is specified in the Pricing Supplement, then any Rate

of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or Optional Redemption Amount shall

be subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be.

(c) Subject to the requirements of applicable law and, where the Notes are lodged in the

Austraclear System, the Austraclear Regulations, for the purposes of any

calculations required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified), (x)

all percentages resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the

nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded

up), (y) all figures shall be rounded to seven decimal places (with halves being

rounded up) and (z) all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded

to the nearest cent (with one half cent being rounded up).

(d) The Pricing Supplement in respect of any Subordinated Notes must not specify a

Rate Multiplier, Maximum Rate of Interest, Minimum Rate of Interest or Instalment

Amount.

5.12 Calculations

The amount of interest payable in respect of any Note for any Interest Accrual Period shall,

subject where that Note is lodged in the Austraclear System, to the Austraclear Regulations,

be calculated by multiplying the product of the Rate of Interest and the outstanding Principal

Amount of such Note by the Day Count Fraction, unless an Interest Amount (or a formula for

its calculation) is specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of such period, in which case

the amount of interest payable in respect of such Note for such period shall equal such

Interest Amount (or be calculated in accordance with such formula). Where any Interest

Period comprises two or more Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable in

respect of such Interest Period shall be the sum of the amounts of interest payable in respect

of each of those Interest Accrual Periods.

5.13 Determination and Publication of Rate of Interest, Interest Amounts, Early,

Final or Optional Redemption Amounts and Instalment Amounts

As soon as practicable after the Relevant Time on each Interest Determination Date or such

other time on such date as the Calculation Agent may be required to calculate any rate or

amount, obtain any quotation or make any determination or calculation, the Calculation Agent

shall:

(a) determine such rate and calculate the Interest Amounts in respect of each Specified

Denomination of the Notes for the relevant Interest Accrual Period;

(b) calculate the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Instalment

Amount or Optional Redemption Amount;

(c) obtain such quotation or make such determination or calculation, as the case may

be; and

(d) cause:

(i) the Rate of Interest and the Interest Amounts for each Interest Accrual

Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date; and

(ii) if required to be calculated, the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption

Amount, Instalment Amount or Optional Redemption Amount,


30

to be notified to:

(A) the Issuer;

(B) the Registrar (which will then notify the Holders of the calculation as

required by the Issuer to the address of the Holders recorded in the

Register);

(C) any other Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Notes that is

to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information; and

(D) if the Notes are listed on a stock exchange and the rules of such

exchange so require, such exchange,

as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than:

(iii) the commencement of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, if determined

prior to such time in the case of notification to such exchange of a Rate of

Interest and Interest Amount; or

(iv) in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination.

Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Accrual Period is subject to adjustment

pursuant to the application of a Business Day Convention, the Interest Amounts and

the Interest Payment Date so published may subsequently be amended (or

appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) without notice in

the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Accrual Period.

If the Notes become due and payable under Condition 15, the accrued interest and

the Rate of Interest payable in respect of the Notes shall nevertheless continue to be

calculated as previously in accordance with this Condition but no publication of the

Rate of Interest or the Interest Amount so calculated need be made.

The determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining of each quotation and the

making of each determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent(s) shall (in the

absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.

5.14 Calculation Agent

If the Conditions applicable to a Note contemplate the appointment of a Calculation Agent in

respect of that Note:

(a) the Issuer shall procure that, at all times, and for so long as any such Note is

outstanding, one or more persons is appointed as Calculation Agent;

(b) the Issuer may appoint itself as Calculation Agent;

(c) the Issuer may appoint more than one Calculation Agent in respect of the Notes, and

if it does so, references in these Conditions to the Calculation Agent shall be

construed as each Calculation Agent performing its respective duties under the

Conditions; and

(d) if the Calculation Agent is a person other than the Issuer and is unable or unwilling to

act as such or if the Calculation Agent fails duly to establish the Rate of Interest for

an Interest Accrual Period or to calculate any Interest Amount, Instalment Amount,

Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount or Optional Redemption

Amount or to comply with any other requirement in respect of a Note, except where

the Conditions or Pricing Supplement applicable to the Note otherwise provide, the

Issuer shall appoint a leading bank or investment banking firm engaged in the

interbank market (or, if appropriate, money, swap or over-the-counter index options


31

market) that is most closely connected with the calculation or determination to be

made by the Calculation Agent to act as such in its place. The Calculation Agent

may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed as aforesaid.

5.15 Certificates to be final

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and

decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this

Condition 5 shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on

the Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Registrar and all Holders, and (in the absence of wilful

default, bad faith or manifest error) no liability to the Issuer or the Holders, shall attach to the

Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties

and discretions pursuant to such provisions.

5.16 Conditions of Payment – Subordinated Notes

Prior to the commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection

with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency):

(a) the obligations of the Issuer to make payments of principal of, any interest on, and

any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated

Notes will be conditional on the Issuer being Solvent at the time of payment by the

Issuer; and

(b) no payment of principal of, any interest on, and any other payments, including

additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes shall be made unless the

Issuer is Solvent immediately after making the payment,

and if, pursuant to this Condition, the Issuer fails to make any payment of principal of, or

interest on, or any other payment, including additional amounts, in respect of any

Subordinated Note when due, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default for the

purposes of Condition 15.2(b).

A certificate signed by two authorised signatories, or an auditor, of the Issuer or, if the Issuer

is being wound up, its liquidator as to whether the Issuer is Solvent at any time is (in the

absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) conclusive evidence of the information

contained in the certificate and will be binding on the Subordinated Noteholders. In the

absence of any such certificate, the Subordinated Noteholders are entitled to assume (unless

the contrary is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent

immediately after, any payment on or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.

6 Redemption, Purchase and Options

6.1 Redemption by Instalments and Final Redemption

(a) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided in this Condition

6 or unless the relevant Instalment Date (being one of the dates so specified in the

Pricing Supplement) is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any provision of the

relevant Pricing Supplement, each Note that provides for Instalment Dates and

Instalment Amounts shall be partially redeemed on each Instalment Date at the

related Instalment Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement. The outstanding

Principal Amount of each such Note shall be reduced by the Instalment Amount (or, if

such Instalment Amount is calculated by reference to a proportion of the Principal

Amount of such Note, such proportion) for all purposes with effect from the related

Instalment Date, unless payment of the Instalment Amount is improperly withheld or

refused, in which case, such amount shall remain outstanding until the Relevant Date

relating to such Instalment Amount. A Subordinated Note will not provide for

redemption by instalments.

(b) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided below or Written-

Off or Converted or its maturity is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any


32

provision of the relevant Pricing Supplement, each Note shall be finally redeemed on

the Maturity Date specified in the Pricing Supplement at its Final Redemption Amount

or, in the case of a Note falling within paragraph (a) above, its final Instalment

Amount.

6.2 Redemption for taxation reasons

If, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of Australia or any

political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in

the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or

amendment becomes effective after the Issue Date (and in respect of any Subordinated Note,

which the Issuer did not expect as at the Issue Date of that Subordinated Note) of any Note

(as specified in the Pricing Supplement):

(a) in the case of any Note, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay any additional

amounts as provided in Condition 13;

(b) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement,

the Issuer or the consolidated tax group of which it is a member would be exposed to

more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, levies, imposts, charges and duties

(including stamp and transaction duties) imposed by any authority together with any

related interest, penalties and expenses in connection with them, assessments or

other governmental charges in connection with any Note; or

(c) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement,

the Issuer determines that any interest payable on any Note is not, or may not be,

allowed as a deduction for the purposes of Australian income tax,

the Issuer may at its option, at any time (if the Note is neither a Floating Rate Note nor an

Index Linked Interest Note) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Floating Rate

Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes) and subject to Condition 6.10 in the case of any

Subordinated Note, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Holders of

the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only, of the

Notes of the relevant Series at their Early Redemption Amount together with interest accrued

to the date fixed for redemption, provided where Condition 6.2(a) applies that no such notice

of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer

would be obliged to pay additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 6.2, the Issuer

shall deliver to the Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a

Director, a senior executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the

Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a

statement of the facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to

redeem have occurred.

6.3 Redemption of Subordinated Notes for regulatory reasons

If specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, if a Regulatory Event occurs, the Issuer may

at its option, at any time (if the Subordinated Note is not a Floating Rate Note) or on any

Interest Payment Date (in the case of a Subordinated Note that is a Floating Rate Note) and

subject to Condition 6.10 on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the

Subordinated Noteholders of the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem

all, but not some only, of the Subordinated Notes of the relevant Series at their Early

Redemption Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Prior to

the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 6.3, the Issuer shall

deliver to the Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director,

a senior executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the Issuer stating

that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts

showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.

For the purposes of this Condition, “Regulatory Event” means the receipt by the directors of

the Issuer of:


33

(a) an opinion from a reputable legal counsel that as a result of any amendment to,

clarification of or change (including any announcement of a change that has been or

will be introduced) in, any law or regulation of Australia, or any official administrative

pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or

regulations, which amendment, clarification or change is effective, or

pronouncement, action or decision is announced, after the Issue Date; or

(b) an official written statement from APRA,

that, in each case, the Issuer is not or will not be entitled to treat all Subordinated Notes of a

Series as Tier 2 Capital, provided that, in each case, on the Issue Date of the Subordinated

Notes, the Issuer did not expect that matters giving rise to the Regulatory Event would occur.

6.4 Early Redemption of Zero Coupon Notes

(a) The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Note that

does not bear interest prior to the Maturity Date, the Early Redemption Amount of

which is not linked to an index and/or a formula, upon redemption of such Note

pursuant to Condition 6.2, 6.5 or 6.6 or upon it becoming due and payable as

provided in Condition 15, shall be the Amortised Face Amount (calculated as

provided below) of such Note unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement.

(b) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (c) below, the “Amortised Face

Amount” of any such Note shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such

Note on the Maturity Date discounted to the date of its early redemption at a rate per

annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the “Amortisation Yield” (which, if

none is set out in the Pricing Supplement, shall be such rate as would produce an

Amortised Face Amount equal to the Issue Price of the Notes if such Notes were

discounted back from the Maturity Date to the relevant Issue Date) compounded

annually. Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it

shall be made on the basis of the Day Count Fraction set out in the Pricing

Supplement.

(c) If the Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Note upon its

redemption pursuant to Condition 6.2, 6.5 or 6.6 or upon it becoming due and

payable as provided in Condition 15, is not paid when due, the Early Redemption

Amount due and payable in respect of such Note shall be the Amortised Face

Amount of such Note as defined in sub-paragraph (b) above, except that such sub-

paragraph shall have effect as though the reference therein to the date on which the

Note becomes due and payable were replaced by a reference to the Relevant Date.

The calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-paragraph

shall continue to be made (after, as well as before, judgment) until the Relevant Date,

unless the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which case the

amount due and payable shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such

Note on the Maturity Date together with any interest that may accrue in accordance

with Condition 5.10.

Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on

the basis of the Day Count Fraction.

6.5 Redemption at the option of the Issuer and exercise of the Issuer's options

If a Call Option is included in the Pricing Supplement and subject to Condition 6.10 in the

case of any Subordinated Note, the Issuer may, on giving not less than five or more than 30

days’ irrevocable notice (subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the

Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”) to the Holders redeem or exercise any

Issuer’s option (as may be described in the Pricing Supplement) in relation to all or, if so

provided, some of the Notes on any Optional Redemption Date (which, in the case of a

Subordinated Note, may not be before the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date of that

Subordinated Note). Any such redemption of Notes shall be at their Optional Redemption

Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Any such redemption


34

or exercise of the Issuer's option shall just relate to Notes of a Principal Amount at least equal

to the Minimum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement and

no greater than the Maximum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing

Supplement.

All Notes in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed, or the Issuer’s

option shall be exercised, on the date specified in such notice in accordance with this

Condition.

In the case of a partial redemption or a partial exercise of an Issuer’s option, the notice to

Holders shall also contain details of the Principal Amount of Notes to be redeemed or in

respect of which such option has been exercised, which shall have been drawn in such place

as may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to prevailing market

practices and in such manner as it deems appropriate, subject to compliance with any

applicable laws and stock exchange requirements.

6.6 Clean-Up Redemption at the option of the Issuer (Clean-Up Call)

If a Clean-Up Call is specified as being applicable in the relevant Pricing Supplement and 75

per cent or more in aggregate Principal Amount of the relevant Series of Notes issued has

been redeemed or purchased and cancelled, the Issuer may, at its option, on giving not less

than five or more than 30 days’ irrevocable notice to the Holders of the relevant Series,

redeem all, but not some only, of those Notes outstanding on the Residual Redemption Date,

at their Residual Redemption Amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest to, but

excluding, the Residual Redemption Date.

A Clean-up Call may not be specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of Subordinated

Notes.

6.7 Redemption at the Option of Holders and Exercise of Holders' Options

If a Put Option is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer shall, at the option of the

Holder of such Note, upon the Holder of such Note giving not less than 15 nor more than 30

days’ notice to the Issuer (subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the

Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”), redeem such Note on the Optional

Redemption Date(s) so provided at its Optional Redemption Amount together with interest

accrued to the date fixed for redemption. No such notice may be withdrawn without the prior

consent of the Issuer or if, prior to the due date for its redemption or the exercise of the

option, the relevant Note becomes immediately due and payable.

To exercise such option or any other Holder’s option that may be set out in the Pricing

Supplement, the Holder must complete, sign and deliver to the Registrar within the notice

period, a redemption notice (in the form obtainable from the Registrar) together with any

Certificate held by the Holder relating to the Notes to be transferred and such evidence as the

Registrar may require to establish the rights of that Holder to the relevant Notes.

A Put Option may not be specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of Subordinated

Notes.

6.8 Purchases

The Issuer is taken to represent as at the date of issue of each Note, that it does not know or

have any reasonable grounds to suspect that that Note or any interest in or right in respect of

that Note is being or will later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an Offshore

Associate of the Issuer acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter

in relation to the placement of the Notes or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or

responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

The Issuer and:

(a) in the case of the Subordinated Notes, any of its Related Entities; and


35

(b) in any other case, any of its subsidiaries,

may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and subject to Condition 6.10

in the case of any Subordinated Note, at any time purchase Notes in the open market or

otherwise. Notes purchased by the Issuer, any of its Related Entities or any of its subsidiaries

may be surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer to the Registrar for cancellation or,

may be held or resold, in each case at the option of the Issuer, the relevant Related Entity or

the relevant subsidiary. In the event that Notes are purchased by the Issuer, any of its

Related Entities or any of its subsidiaries but not cancelled the Issuer, the relevant Related

Entity or the relevant subsidiary will relinquish any voting rights in respect of those purchased

Notes.

6.9 Cancellation

All Notes redeemed by the Issuer or surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer for

cancellation shall be surrendered for cancellation by the Issuer or purchaser notifying the

Registrar and surrendering to the Registrar any Certificates held by the Holder relating to the

Notes to be cancelled by the Registrar and if so surrendered, the Notes will be cancelled

forthwith. Any Notes so surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold and the

obligations of the Issuer in respect of any such Notes shall be discharged.

6.10 Consent of APRA

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Condition 6, the Issuer may not:

(a) redeem any Subordinated Notes under Conditions 6.2, 6.3 or 6.5 above; or

(b) prior to the Maturity Date purchase, or procure that any of its Related Entities

purchase, any Subordinated Notes under Condition 6.8 above,

without the prior written approval of APRA. In addition, the prior written approval of APRA is

required to modify, abrogate, amend, waive, vary or compromise the terms of any Series of

Subordinated Notes where such action may affect the eligibility of such Subordinated Notes

as Tier 2 Capital.

Subordinated Noteholders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be given for any

redemption or purchase of Subordinated Notes.

6.11 Conditions to redemption for Subordinated Notes

Without limiting Condition 6.10, the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem any Subordinated

Note unless the Subordinated Note is replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory

Capital of the same or better quality and the replacement of the Subordinated Note is done

under conditions that are sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied

that the Issuer’s capital position at Level 1, Level 2 and, if applicable, Level 3 is well above its

minimum capital requirements after the Issuer elects to redeem the Subordinated Note.

7 Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Non-

Viability Trigger Event

7.1 Application to Subordinated Notes only

Conditions 7, 8 and 9 apply only to Subordinated Notes.

7.2 Non-Viability Trigger Event

A “Non-Viability Trigger Event” means the earlier of:

(a) the issuance to the Issuer of a written determination from APRA that conversion or

write-off of Relevant Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that

the Issuer would become non-viable; or


36

(b) a determination by APRA, notified to the Issuer in writing, that without a public sector

injection of capital, or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-viable,

each such determination being a “Non-Viability Determination”.

7.3 Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:

(a) on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to Condition 8.5, such Principal Amount of

the Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is

applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is required by the Non-Viability

Determination provided that:

(i) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 7.2(a) and

such Non-Viability Determination does not require all Relevant Securities to

be converted into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or written-off, such Principal

Amount of the Subordinated Notes shall Convert or be Written-Off

(whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is

sufficient (determined by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 7.3(b)) to

satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable without further conversion or write-off;

and

(ii) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 7.2(b), all the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be

Written-Off (whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement).

(b) the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes which must be

Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in accordance with Condition 7.3(a)(i), on

the following basis:

(i) first, convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1

Securities; and

(ii) secondly, if conversion into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or write-off of all

Relevant Tier 1 Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of

Condition 7.3(a)(i) (and provided that as a result of the conversion or write-

off of Relevant Tier 1 Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-Viability

Determination), Convert or Write-Off (as applicable) a Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes and convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares or write-off a

number or principal amount of other Relevant Tier 2 Securities on an

approximately pro-rata basis or in a manner that is otherwise, in the opinion

of the Issuer, fair and reasonable (subject to such adjustment as the Issuer

may determine to take into account the effect on marketable parcels and the

need to round to whole numbers the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares

and the authorised denominations of the Principal Amount of any

Subordinated Note or the number or principal amount of other Relevant Tier

2 Securities remaining on issue, and the need to effect the conversion

immediately) and, for the purposes of this Condition 7.3(b)(ii), where the

specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant Tier 2 Securities is not

the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities, the Issuer may treat them as if

converted into a single currency of the Issuer’s choice at such rate of

exchange as the Issuer in good faith considers reasonable,

provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate

Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) of the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes;


37

(c) on the Trigger Event Date, the Issuer shall determine the Subordinated Notes or

portions thereof as to which the Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) is to take

effect and in making that determination may make any decisions with respect to the

identity of the Subordinated Noteholders at that time as may be necessary or

desirable to ensure Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) occurs in an orderly

manner, including disregarding any transfers of Subordinated Notes that have not

been settled or registered at that time provided that such determination does not

impede or delay the immediate Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) of the

relevant Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes;

(d) the Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to Condition 7.3(c) (a

“Trigger Event Notice”) as soon as practicable to the Subordinated Noteholders,

which must specify:

(i) the Trigger Event Date;

(ii) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes Converted or Written-Off (as

applicable); and

(iii) the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant Securities

converted or written-off;

(e) none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion or Write-

Off (as applicable) of Subordinated Notes as required by Condition 7.3(a):

(i) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

(ii) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;

(iii) any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Condition 7.4;

(iv) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes to be Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in

accordance with Condition 7.3(b)(ii) or 7.3(c); and

(v) in the case of Conversion only, any failure or delay in quotation of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares to be issued on Conversion.

If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, the Issuer must perform the obligations in

respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by the Issuer, whether or

not such day is a Business Day.

7.4 Conversion or Write-Off of a whole or of a portion of a Subordinated Note

If a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note is required to be Converted or Written-Off, the

following provisions apply:

(a) The Issuer shall notify the Registrar of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated

Note that has been Converted or Written-Off (whether in whole or in part) and instruct

the Registrar to reflect this Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) in the Register so

that the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note is reduced, in the case of a

Subordinated Note Converted or Written-Off in whole, to zero, or, in the case of a

Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off in part, to an amount equal to

the non-Converted or non-Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount

of such Subordinated Note;

(b) in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off only in part:


38

(i) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note will be reduced to an amount

equal to the non-Converted or non-Written-Off portion (as applicable) of the

Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note;

(ii) ANZGHL will be taken to hold (as a result of the transfer in accordance with

the Schedule to these Conditions) a new Subordinated Note with a principal

amount equal to the Converted or Written-Off portion (as applicable) of the

Principal Amount of the original Subordinated Note, and on terms otherwise

identical to the terms of such Subordinated Note (the "Affected

Subordinated Note");

(iii) where the date of the Conversion or Write-Off is not an Interest Payment

Date, the amount of interest payable in respect of that Subordinated Note on

each Interest Payment Date falling after that date will be reduced and

calculated on the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note as reduced on

that date;

(iv) for the purposes of any interest calculation, the Interest Amount, the Fixed

Coupon Amount, Broken Amount, the Calculation Amount and any related

amount in respect of that Subordinated Note shall be reduced in the same

proportion as the Principal Amount Converted or Written-Off in respect of

that Subordinated Note bears to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated

Note before such Conversion or Write-Off; and

(v) the Early Redemption Amount, the Final Redemption Amount, the Optional

Redemption Amount, the Specified Denomination and Principal Amount or

any related amount shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal

Amount Converted or Written-Off in respect of that Subordinated Note bears

to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note before such Conversion or

Write-Off;

(c) if a Certificate has been issued to the relevant Subordinated Noteholder in respect of

such Subordinated Note, then, if the Issuer so requires, such Subordinated

Noteholder shall surrender such Certificate to the Issuer (or, if the Issuer so directs,

to the Registrar) and, in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or

Written-Off only in part, the Issuer shall deliver to the Subordinated Noteholder, a

Certificate for a Subordinated Note with a Principal Amount equal to the non-

Converted or non-Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of such

Subordinated Note; and

(d) each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably authorises the Issuer to sign any

document or transfer or do any other thing as may in the Issuer’s opinion be

necessary or desirable to effect any transfer of the Subordinated Notes the subject of

the Conversion.

8 Conversion of Subordinated Notes

8.1 Conversion of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date

Unless "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 8

shall apply to the Subordinated Notes and, notwithstanding any other provision in these

Conditions, on the Trigger Event Date the relevant Principal Amount (as determined under

Condition 7.3) of the Subordinated Notes will Convert immediately and irrevocably.

On and from the Trigger Event Date, subject to Conditions 8.5 and 8.6(c)(iii), the Issuer and

ANZGHL shall treat any Subordinated Noteholder of any Subordinated Note or portion

thereof which is required to be Converted as the holder of the relevant number of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares and will take all such steps, including updating any register, required to

record the Conversion and the issuance of such ANZGHL Ordinary Shares.


39

8.2 Provision of information

Where a Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is required to be Converted under

Condition 8, a Subordinated Noteholder of Subordinated Notes or portion thereof that are

subject to Conversion wishing to receive ANZGHL Ordinary Shares must, no later than the

Trigger Event Date (or, in the case where Condition 8.4(f) applies, within 30 days of the date

on which ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are issued upon such Conversion), have provided to the

Issuer:

(a) its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name it

directs the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title

and receipt of any certificate or holding statement in respect of any ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares;

(b) the security account details of such Subordinated Noteholder in CHESS or such

other account to which the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares may be credited; and

(c) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the purposes of

enabling ANZGHL to issue the Conversion Number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to

such Subordinated Noteholder,

and the Issuer has no duty to seek or obtain such information.

8.3 Failure to Convert

Subject to Condition 8.4 and Condition 8.5, if, in respect of a Conversion of Subordinated

Notes, ANZGHL fails to issue, on the Trigger Event Date, the Conversion Number of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in respect of the relevant Principal Amount of such Subordinated

Notes to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the relevant Subordinated Noteholder on

the Trigger Event Date or any other nominee where Condition 8.4 applies, the Principal

Amount of such Subordinated Notes which would otherwise be subject to Conversion shall

remain on issue and outstanding until:

(a) the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are issued to, or in accordance with the instructions of,

the Subordinated Noteholder of such Subordinated Notes; or

(b) such Subordinated Notes are Written-Off in accordance with these Conditions,

provided that the sole right of the Subordinated Noteholder in respect of Subordinated Notes

or portion thereof that are subject to Conversion is its right to be issued ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares upon Conversion (subject to its compliance with Condition 8.2 or to receive the

proceeds from their sale pursuant to Condition 8.4, as applicable) and the remedy of such

Subordinated Noteholder in respect of ANZGHL's failure to issue the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares is limited (subject always to Condition 8.5) to seeking an order for specific

performance of ANZGHL's obligation to issue the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the

Subordinated Noteholder or where Condition 8.4 applies to the nominee and to receive such

proceeds of sale, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Notes. This

Condition 8.3 does not affect the obligation of ANZGHL to issue the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares when required in accordance with these Conditions.

8.4 Issue to nominee

If, in respect of a Subordinated Note and a Subordinated Noteholder of that Subordinated

Note, the Subordinated Note or portion thereof is required to be Converted and:

(a) the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the Issuer that it does not wish to receive

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares as a result of the Conversion (whether entirely or to the

extent specified in the notice), which notice may be given at any time prior to the

Trigger Event Date;


40

(b) the Subordinated Notes are held by a Subordinated Noteholder whose address in the

register is a place outside Australia or who the Issuer otherwise believes may not be

a resident of Australia (a “Foreign Holder”);

(c) for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the Subordinated Noteholder) the

Issuer has not received the information required by Condition 8.2 prior to the Trigger

Event Date and the lack of such information would prevent ANZGHL from issuing the

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event

Date; or

(d) a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares issued on Conversion,

then, on the Trigger Event Date:

(e) where Condition 8.4(a), 8.4(b) or 8.4(d) applies, ANZGHL shall issue the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder only to the extent (if at all) that:

(i) where Condition 8.4(a) applies, the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the

Issuer that it wishes to receive them;

(ii) where Condition 8.4(b) applies, the Issuer is satisfied that the laws of both

Australia and the Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which the Issuer

is not bound to enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance with

conditions which the Issuer in its absolute discretion regards as acceptable

and not unduly onerous; and

(iii) where Condition 8.4(d) applies, the issue is net of the FATCA Withholding;

and, to the extent ANZGHL is not obliged to issue ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the

Subordinated Noteholder, ANZGHL will issue the balance of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares to the nominee in accordance with Condition 8.4(f); and

(f) otherwise, subject to applicable law, ANZGHL will issue the balance of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares in respect of the Subordinated Noteholder to a competent nominee

(which may not be the Issuer or any of its Related Entities) and will promptly notify

such Subordinated Noteholder of the name of and contact information for the

nominee and the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued to the nominee on its

behalf and, subject to applicable law and:

(i) subject to Condition 8.4(f)(ii), the nominee will as soon as reasonably

possible and no later than 35 days after issue of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares sell those ANZGHL Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to

the net proceeds received, after deducting any applicable brokerage, stamp

duty and other taxes and charges, to the Subordinated Noteholder;

(ii) where Condition 8.4(c) applies, the nominee will hold such ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares and will transfer ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to such

Subordinated Noteholder promptly after such Subordinated Noteholder

provides the nominee with the information required to be provided by such

Subordinated Noteholder under Condition 8.2 (as if a reference in Condition

8.2 to the Issuer is a reference to the nominee and a reference to the issue

of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares is a reference to the transfer of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares) but only where such information is provided to the nominee

within 30 days of the date on which ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are issued to

the nominee upon Conversion of such Subordinated Note and failing which

the nominee will sell the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares and pay the proceeds to

such Subordinated Noteholder in accordance with Condition 8.4(f)(i); and


41

(iii) where Condition 8.4(d) applies, the nominee shall deal with ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares the subject of a FATCA Withholding and any proceeds of

their disposal in accordance with FATCA;

(g) nothing in this Condition 8.4 shall affect the Conversion of the Subordinated Notes of

a Subordinated Noteholder who is not a person to which any of Condition 8.4(a) to

8.4(d) (inclusive) applies; and

(h) for the purposes of this Condition 8.4, none of the Issuer, ANZGHL or the nominee

owes any obligations or duties to the Subordinated Noteholders in relation to the

price at which ANZGHL Ordinary Shares are sold or has any liability for any loss

suffered by a Subordinated Noteholder as a result of the sale of ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares.

8.5 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes if Conversion is not effected within 5

Business Days after a Trigger Event Date

Notwithstanding any other provision of Condition 8 and provided that "Write-Off – Applicable"

is not specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, where Subordinated Notes are required to

be Converted on the Trigger Event Date and Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of

the Subordinated Notes that are subject to Conversion has not been effected within five

Business Days after the relevant Trigger Event Date for any reason (including an Inability

Event):

(a) the relevant Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note which, but for this

Condition 8.5, would be Converted, will not be Converted and instead will be Written-

Off with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date; and

(b) the Issuer shall notify the Subordinated Noteholders as promptly as practically

possible that Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes

has not occurred and that such Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has

been Written-Off.

8.6 Subordinated Noteholder acknowledgements

Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably:

(a) consents to becoming a member of ANZGHL upon the Conversion of the relevant

Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes as required by this Condition 8 and agrees

to be bound by the constitution of ANZGHL, in each case in respect of the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares issued to such Subordinated Noteholder on Conversion;

(b) acknowledges and agrees that it is obliged to accept ANZGHL Ordinary Shares upon

a Conversion of the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes it holds notwithstanding

anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion of such Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes including:

(i) any change in the financial position of the Issuer or ANZGHL, since the issue

of such Subordinated Notes;

(ii) any disruption to the market or potential market for the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares or to capital markets generally; or

(iii) any breach by the Issuer or ANZGHL of any obligation in connection with

such Subordinated Notes;

(c) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 7.3 applies:

(i) there are no other conditions to a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurring as

and when provided in Condition 7.2;


42

(ii) Conversion must occur immediately on the occurrence of a Non-Viability

Trigger Event and that may result in disruption or failures in trading or

dealings in the Subordinated Notes;

(iii) it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Conversion and that the

Subordinated Note does not confer a right to vote at any meeting of

members of the Issuer or ANZGHL; and

(iv) the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at

the time of issue, or at all;

(d) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 8.5 applies, no conditions or events

will affect the operation of that Condition and such Subordinated Noteholder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under that Condition and has no

claim against the Issuer or ANZGHL, arising in connection with the application of that

Condition;

(e) acknowledges and agrees that such Subordinated Noteholder has no right to request

a Conversion of any Principal Amount of any Subordinated Notes or to determine

whether (or in what circumstances) the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes it

holds is Converted;

(f) acknowledges and agrees that none of the following shall prevent, impede or delay

the Conversion or (where relevant) Write-Off of the Principal Amount of Subordinated

Notes:

(i) any failure to or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant

Securities;

(ii) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice or other notice required

by this Condition 8;

(iii) any failure or delay in quotation of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be

issued on Conversion;

(iv) any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Condition 7.4; and

(v) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes to be Converted in accordance with Condition 7.3(b)(ii)

or 7.3(c); and

(g) acknowledges and agrees that if, in respect of a Conversion, ANZGHL has issued

the Conversion Number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to the holder of Subordinated

Notes but the Subordinated Note or portion thereof has not been transferred free

from encumbrance to or as directed by ANZGHL, the Subordinated Note or such

portion shall be Written-Off in accordance with Condition 8.7 without prejudice to the

issue of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares.

8.7 Meaning of “Written-Off”

For the purposes of Condition 8, “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of a Subordinated

Note or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion and a Trigger Event Date:

(a) the Subordinated Note or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion will

not be Converted on that date and will not be Converted or redeemed under these

Conditions on any subsequent date; and

(b) with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant

Subordinated Noteholder of the Subordinated Note or portion thereof (including any


43

right to receive any payment thereunder including payments of principal and interest

both in the future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to

such Subordinated Note or portion thereof are immediately and irrevocably

terminated and written-off; and

“Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.

9 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes

9.1 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date

If "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 9 shall

apply to the Subordinated Notes and on the Trigger Event Date the rights of the Subordinated

Noteholder of the relevant Subordinated Notes in relation to the relevant Principal Amount (as

determined under Condition 7.3) of the Subordinated Notes are Written-Off (as that term is

defined for the purposes of Condition 9).

Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that no conditions or

events will affect the operation of this Condition 9 and such Subordinated Noteholder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under this Condition 9.1.

9.2 Meaning of “Written-Off”

For the purposes of this Condition 9, “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of a

Subordinated Note or portion thereof and a Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant

Subordinated Noteholder (including any right to receive any payment thereunder including

payments of principal and interest both in the future and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger

Event Date) in relation to such Subordinated Note or portion thereof are immediately and

irrevocably terminated and written-off, and “Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.

10 Substitution of Issuer

10.1 Application of this Conditions

Unless "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, this Condition

10 shall apply to the Subordinated Notes.

10.2 Substitution of Approved NOHC

Where:

(a) either of the following occurs:

(i) a takeover bid is made to acquire all or some of the ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares and such offer is, or becomes, unconditional and either:

(A) the bidder has at any time during the offer period, a relevant interest

in more than 50 per cent. of the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on issue;

or

(B) the directors of the ANZGHL, acting as a board, issue a statement

that at least a majority of its directors who are eligible to do so have

recommended acceptance of such offer (in the absence of a higher

offer); or

(ii) a court orders the holding of meetings to approve a scheme of arrangement

under Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act, which scheme would result in a

person having a relevant interest in more than 50 per cent. of the ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares that will be on issue after the scheme is implemented and:


44

(A) all classes of members of ANZGHL pass all resolutions required to

approve the scheme by the majorities required under the

Corporations Act, to approve the scheme; and

(B) an independent expert issues a report that the proposals in

connection with the scheme are in the best interests of the holders

of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares; and

(b) the bidder or the person having a relevant interest in the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in

the ANZGHL after the scheme is implemented (or any entity that Controls the bidder

or the person having the relevant interest) is an Approved NOHC,

then the Issuer without further authority, assent or approval of the Subordinated Noteholders

may (but with the prior written approval of APRA):

(c) amend these Conditions such that, unless APRA otherwise agrees, on the date the

Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is to be Converted:

(i) each Subordinated Note that is being Converted in whole will be

automatically transferred by each holder of such Subordinated Note free

from encumbrance to the Approved NOHC (or another member of the ANZ

Group which is a holding company of the Issuer) (the "Transferee") on the

date the Conversion is to occur;

(ii) in respect of each Subordinated Note that is being Converted only in part, on

the date the Conversion is to occur:

(A) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note that is being

Converted shall be reduced to an amount equal to the non-

Converted portion of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated

Note in accordance with Condition 7.4; and

(B) the Approved NOHC will be taken to hold a new Subordinated Note

with a Principal Amount equal to the Converted portion of the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note being Converted,

provided that any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other

party in complying with the provisions of Condition 10.2(c)(ii) shall not

prevent, impede or delay the Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes;

(iii) each holder (or a nominee in accordance with Condition 8.2 or 8.4 (as

applicable), which provisions shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such

Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares) of the Subordinated Note or portion

thereof being Converted will be issued a number of Approved NOHC

Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Number and the provisions of the

Schedule to these Conditions shall apply (with any necessary changes) to

the determination of the number of such Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares;

(iv) as between the Issuer and the Transferee, each Subordinated Note held by

the Transferee as a result of Condition 10.2(c)(i) will be automatically

Converted into a number of ANZBGL Ordinary Shares in a number and at a

price such that the issued share capital held by the Transferee (or a wholly

owned subsidiary of the Transferee) increases by the amount by which the

issued ordinary share capital of the Approved NOHC increases on

Conversion; and

(v) make such other amendments as in the Issuer’s reasonable opinion are

necessary or appropriate to effect the substitution of an Approved NOHC as

the provider of the ordinary shares on Conversion in the manner

contemplated by these Conditions, including, where the terms upon which


45

the Approved NOHC acquires the Issuer are such that the number of

Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after the substitution

differs from the number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on issue immediately

before that substitution (not involving any cash payment or other distribution

to or by the holders of any such shares), an adjustment to any relevant

VWAP or Issue Date VWAP consistent with the principles of adjustment set

out in the Schedule to these Conditions.

10.3 Notice of substitution of Approved NOHC

The Issuer shall give a notice to the Subordinated Noteholders as soon as practicable after

the substitution in accordance with Condition 10.2 specifying the amendments to these

Conditions which will be made in accordance with Condition 10.2 to effect the substitution of

an Approved NOHC as issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion.

10.4 Further substitutions

After a substitution under Condition 10.2, the Approved NOHC may without the authority,

approval or assent of the holder of Subordinated Notes, effect a further substitution in

accordance with Condition 10.2 (with necessary changes).

11 Payments


11.1 Payments by the Issuer

(a) Payments in respect of interest or principal on any Note made by the Issuer to

Holders will be made in accordance with details recorded with the Registrar by 5:00

pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

(b) When a Note is recorded in the Register as being held jointly, payment of interest or

principal (as the case may be) by the Issuer will be made to the Holders in their joint

names unless requested otherwise (and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer) by 5:00

pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.

11.2 Method of Payment

Payments in respect of each Note will be made:

(a) where the Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, by crediting on the relevant

Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (determined in accordance with the Business

Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) the amount then due to

the account of the relevant Holder in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations; or

(b) if the relevant Notes have not been lodged or are removed from the Austraclear

System, by crediting on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments

of interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal, the amount then

due to a bank account in Australia previously notified by the Holder to the Registrar.

Each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date shall be determined in accordance

with the Business Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement. If

the Holder has not notified the Registrar of such an account by 5.00pm local Registry

Office time on the relevant Record Date or upon application by the Holder to the

Registrar no later than 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record

Date, payments in respect of the relevant Note will be made by cheque mailed on the

Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date in the case

of payments of interest or on the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal,

at the Holder’s risk to the Holder (or to the first named of joint Holders) of such Note

at the address appearing in the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on

the relevant Record Date. Cheques to be despatched to the nominated address of a

Holder will in such case be deemed to have been received by the Holder on the

relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments of interest, or the Maturity


46

Date, in the case of payments of principal, and no further amount will be payable by

the Issuer in respect of the relevant Note as a result of payment not being received

by the Holder on the due date.

No payment of interest will be mailed to an address in the United States or transferred to an

account maintained by the Holder in the United States.

11.3 Payments Subject to Fiscal Laws

All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws, regulations and

directives, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 13. No commission or

expenses shall be charged to the Holders in respect of such payments.

11.4 Appointment of Agents

The Registrar and (if appointed) the Calculation Agent act solely as agents of the Issuer and

do not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Holder. The

Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of the Registrar or

(if appointed) the Calculation Agent, provided that the Issuer shall at all times maintain (i) a

Registrar, (ii) one or more Calculation Agent(s) where the Conditions so require, and (iii) such

other agents as may be required by the rules of any stock exchange, listing authority and/or

quotation system on which the Notes may be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation.

Notice of any change to the specified office of the Registrar or the Calculation Agent shall

promptly be given to the Holders in accordance with Condition 19.

12 Transfer

12.1 Transfer

(a) Unless Notes are lodged in the Austraclear System, and subject to Condition 12.2, all

applications to transfer Notes must be made by lodging with the Registrar a properly

completed transfer and acceptance form in the form approved by the Issuer and the

Registrar. Any Certificate relating to the Notes to be transferred must also be

surrendered to the Registrar. Transfer and acceptance forms are available from any

Registry Office. Each Registry Office will provide prompt marking and transfer

services. Each transfer form must be accompanied by such evidence (if any) as the

Registrar may require to prove the title of the transferor or the transferor’s right to

transfer the Note, and be signed by both the transferor and the transferee. The

transfer takes effect upon the transferee’s name being entered on the Register.

(b) Notes lodged in the Austraclear System will be transferable only in accordance with

the Austraclear Regulations.

12.2 Limit on Transfer

(a) Notes may only be transferred within, to or from Australia in the denominations

specified in the Pricing Supplement and if the consideration payable at the time of

transfer is a minimum amount of A$500,000 (in either case, disregarding moneys lent

by the transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the

Corporations Act.

(b) Notes may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other

than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which

the transfer takes place and the transfer of the Notes otherwise does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the

transfer takes place.

12.3 Partial Transfers

Where a transferor executes a transfer of less than all Notes registered in its name, and the

identity of the specific Notes to be transferred are not identified, the Registrar may register


47

the transfer in respect of such of the Notes registered in the name of the transferor as the

Registrar thinks fit, provided the total Principal Amount of the Notes registered as having

been transferred equals the total Principal Amount of the Notes expressed to be transferred

in the transfer.

12.4 Closed Period

A transfer of a Note shall not be effective unless and until entered on the Register. The

Register will be closed for the purpose of determining entitlements to payments of interest

and repayments of any Principal Amount at 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the Record

Date prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, the relevant Maturity Date and any relevant

redemption date. Therefore, transfers must be received by the Registrar at the relevant

Registry Office prior to that time.

12.5 Stamp Duty

The Holder is responsible for any stamp duties or other similar taxes which are payable in

any jurisdiction in connection with any transfer, assignment or other dealing with the Notes.

12.6 Transmission

The Registrar must register a transfer of a Note to or by a person who is entitled to make or

receive the transfer in consequence of:

(a) death, bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up of a Holder; or

(b) the making of a vesting order by a court or other body with power to make the order,

on receiving the evidence of entitlement that the Registrar or the Issuer requires.

12.7 Austraclear Services Limited as Registrar

If Austraclear Services Limited is the Registrar and Notes are lodged in the Austraclear

System, despite any other provision of those Conditions, these Notes are not transferable on

the Register, and the Issuer may not, and must procure that the Registrar does not, register

any transfer of those Notes issued by it and no member of the Austraclear System has the

right to request any registration of any transfer of the relevant Notes, except:

(a) for the purposes of any Conversion, Write-Off, repurchase, redemption or

cancellation (whether on or before the Maturity Date of the relevant Note) of the

relevant Note, a transfer of the relevant Note from Austraclear to the Issuer (or if

applicable, to an Approved NOHC in accordance with Condition10) may be entered

in the Register; and

(b) if Austraclear exercises or purports to exercise any power it may have under the

Austraclear Regulations from time to time for the Austraclear System or these

Conditions, to require the relevant Note to be transferred on the Register to a

member of the Austraclear System, the relevant Note may be transferred on the

Register from Austraclear to the member of the Austraclear System.

In any of these cases, the relevant Note will cease to be held in the Austraclear System.

13 Taxation

13.1 General

Subject as provided below, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes shall

be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties,

assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected,

withheld or assessed by or within Australia or by any authority therein or thereof having

power to tax (together, “Taxes”), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.


48

13.2 Issuer to pay additional amounts

Where such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer shall pay such additional

amounts to Holders as shall result in receipt by those Holders of such amounts as would

have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that

no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Note:

(a) in respect of which the Holder thereof is liable to such Taxes, duties, assessments or

governmental charges in respect of such Note by reason of its having some

connection with Australia, other than the mere holding of such Note or the receipt of

the relevant payment in respect thereof; or

(b) to the extent that the relevant Tax is imposed or levied by virtue of the Holder, or the

beneficial owner, of the Note not complying with any statutory requirements or not

having made a declaration of non-residence in, or lack of connection with, a relevant

jurisdiction or any similar claim for exemption; or

(c) in respect of which the Holder thereof is an Offshore Associate of the Issuer (acting

other than in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds

manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the

Corporations Act); or

(d) in respect of which the Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the Holder

of such Note being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid such Taxes, being a

scheme which the Issuer was neither a party to nor participated in; or

(e) to, or to a third party on behalf of, an Australian resident Holder or a non-resident

Holder who is engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or through a

permanent establishment of the non-resident in Australia, if that person has not

supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian business number or other

exemption details; or

(f) to a Holder that is not the beneficial owner of such Note to the extent that the

beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the payment of such

additional amounts had such beneficial owner been the Holder of such Note.

13.3 Tax File Number

The Issuer will deduct tax from payments of interest on the Notes at the highest marginal tax

rate plus the highest Medicare levy if an Australian resident investor or a non-resident

investor carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of the

non-resident in Australia has not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian Business

Number or exemption details.

13.4 References

References in these Conditions to (i) “principal” shall be deemed to include any premium

payable in respect of the Notes (other than Subordinated Notes for which there is no premium

payable), all Instalment Amounts, Final Redemption Amounts, Early Redemption Amounts,

Optional Redemption Amounts, Amortised Face Amounts and all other amounts in the nature

of principal payable pursuant to Condition 6, or any amendment or supplement to it, (ii)

“interest” shall be deemed to include all Interest Amounts and all other amounts payable

pursuant to Condition 4, or any amendment or supplement to it and (iii) “principal” and/or

“interest” shall be deemed to include any additional amounts that may be payable under this

Condition or any undertaking given in addition to or substitution for it under the Deed Poll.

Any additional amounts due in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in right

of payment as described in Condition 3.2, Condition 5.16 and Condition 16.

If the Issuer is or becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than or in

addition to Australia, references in Condition 6.2 and Condition 13 shall be read and

construed as including references to such other taxing jurisdiction(s).


49

13.5 FATCA

The Issuer or ANZGHL may withhold or make deductions from payments or from the issue of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to a Noteholder where it is required to do so under or in

connection with FATCA, or where it has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Noteholder

or a beneficial owner of the Notes may be subject to FATCA, and may deal with such

payment, and any ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in accordance with FATCA. If any withholding or

deduction arises under or in connection with FATCA, neither the Issuer nor ANZGHL will be

required to pay any further amounts or issue any further ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on

account of such withholding or deduction or otherwise reimburse or compensate, or make

any payment to, a Noteholder or a beneficial owner of the Notes for or in respect of any such

withholding or deduction. A dealing with such payment and any ANZGHL Ordinary Shares in

accordance with FATCA satisfies the obligations of the Issuer (and, as applicable, ANZGHL)

to that Noteholder to the extent of the amount of that payment or issue of ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares.

14 Prescription

Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Notes shall be prescribed and

become void unless made within ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case

of interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them.

15 Events of Default

15.1 Medium Term Notes

If any one of the following events (“Events of Default”) occurs and is continuing, the Holder

of any Medium Term Note of any Series may give written notice to the Registrar at its

Registry Office that such Medium Term Note is immediately repayable, whereupon it shall

immediately become due and repayable at its Early Redemption Amount together with

accrued interest to the date of payment unless, prior to the date that such written notice is

received by the Registrar, the Issuer shall have cured or otherwise made good all Events of

Default in respect of the Medium Term Notes of such Series:

(a) default is made in the payment of:

(i) any principal or Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount,

Optional Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Amortised Face

Amount (in the case of a Zero Coupon Note) (whether becoming due upon

redemption or otherwise) when due, in respect of any Medium Term Note of

such Series, and such default continues for a period of 15 days; or

(ii) any interest when due, in respect of any Medium Term Note of such Series,

and such default continues for a period of 30 days; or

(b) the Issuer fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under any Medium Term

Note of such Series other than those specified in paragraph (a) above and in such

case (except where such failure is incapable of remedy) such failure continues for a

period of 30 days next following the service by any Holder of any Medium Term Note

of such Series on the Issuer of written notice requiring the same to be remedied; or

(c) otherwise than for the purpose of an amalgamation or reconstruction or merger within

the meaning of these words under the laws of Australia, a resolution is passed that

the Issuer be wound up or dissolved; or

(d) the Issuer stops payment (within the meaning of Australian or any other applicable

bankruptcy law) of its obligations; or

(e) an encumbrancer takes possession of or a receiver is appointed of the whole or a

substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer and any such event is

continuing for 45 days after its occurrence and would materially prejudice the


50

performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such

Series or a distress or execution is levied or enforced upon or sued out against the

whole or a substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer which would

materially prejudice the performance of the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium

Term Notes of such Series and is not discharged within 60 days thereof; or

(f) proceedings shall have been initiated against the Issuer under any applicable

bankruptcy, reorganisation or other similar law and such proceedings shall not have

been discharged or stayed within a period of 60 days; or

(g) the Issuer shall initiate or consent to proceedings relating to itself under any

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, composition or other similar law (otherwise than

for the purpose of amalgamation, reconstruction or merger (within the meaning of

those words under the laws of Australia)) and such proceedings would materially

prejudice the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term

Notes of such Series.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 15.1, no Event of Default in respect of

any Medium Term Note shall occur solely on account of any failure by the Issuer to perform

or observe its obligations in relation to, or the taking of any process or proceeding in respect

of any share, note or other security or instrument constituting Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital.

15.2 Subordinated Notes

The following are Events of Default with respect to Subordinated Notes:

(a) The:

(i) making of an order by a court of the State of Victoria, Australia or a court

with appellate jurisdiction from such court which is not successfully appealed

or permanently stayed within 60 days of the entry of such order; or

(ii) valid passing by the Issuer's shareholders of an effective resolution,

in each case for the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection with

a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency);

and

(b) Subject to Condition 5.16:

(i) default in the payment of interest on any Subordinated Note when due,

continued for 30 days; or

(ii) default in the payment of principal of any Subordinated Note when due.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in paragraph (a) above, subject

to the subordination provisions, the Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid

interest on, the Subordinated Notes will automatically become due and payable.

If an Event of Default contemplated by paragraph (b) above with respect to any

Subordinated Notes occurs and is continuing, a Subordinated Noteholder may only,

in order to enforce the obligations of the Issuer under such Subordinated Notes:

(A) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (B) below, institute

proceedings in the State of Victoria, Australia (but not elsewhere) for

the winding-up of the Issuer (all subject to, and in accordance with,

the terms of Condition 16); or

(B) institute proceedings for recovery of the money then due, provided

that the Issuer will not, by virtue of the institution of any such


51

proceedings (other than proceedings for the winding-up of the

Issuer) be obliged to pay any sums representing principal or interest

in respect of the Subordinated Notes sooner than the same would

otherwise have been payable by it and provided that the Issuer is

Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any

such payment.

No remedy against the Issuer other than those referred to in this Condition 15.2, shall be

available to the Subordinated Noteholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in

respect of the Subordinated Notes or in respect of any breach by the issuer of any of its other

obligations under or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.

15.3 Notification

If an Event of Default occurs under Conditions 15.1 or 15.2 above, the Issuer will promptly

after becoming aware of it notify the Registrar of the occurrence of the Event of Default

specifying details of it and use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar

promptly notifies the Holders of the occurrence of the Event of Default by registered post to

the address of the Holders recorded in the Register.

16 Subordination

In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer constituting an Event of Default with respect to the

Subordinated Notes, there shall be payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes, subject

to the subordination provisions discussed above (see Condition 3.2 and Condition 5.16), an

amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes then outstanding, together

with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the repayment date.

As a result of the subordination provisions, no amount will be payable in the winding-up of the

Issuer in Australia in respect of the Subordinated Notes until all claims of Senior Creditors

admitted in the winding-up proceeding have been satisfied in full. By subscription for, or

transfer of, Subordinated Notes to a Subordinated Noteholder, that Subordinated Noteholder

will be taken to have agreed that no amount in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be

repaid until all the claims of the Senior Creditors admitted in the winding-up proceeding have

been satisfied accordingly. Accordingly, if proceedings with respect to the winding-up of the

Issuer in Australia were to occur, the Subordinated Noteholders could recover less relative to

the holders of deposit liabilities, the holders of Medium Term Notes and the holders of prior

ranking subordinated liabilities of the Issuer.

If in any such winding-up, the amount payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes and

any claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes cannot be paid in full, those

Subordinated Notes and other claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes will

share relatively in any distribution of the Issuer's assets in a winding-up in proportion to the

respective amounts to which they are entitled.

Any amount not paid due to Condition 5.16 or Condition 15.2, remains a debt owing to the

Noteholder by the Issuer until it is paid and will be payable on the first date on which payment

can be made in compliance with the relevant Condition.

17 Meetings of Holders, Modifications and Waiver

17.1 Meetings of Holders

Meetings of Holders may be convened in accordance with the Meeting Provisions contained

in Schedule 2 to the Deed Poll. Any such meeting may consider any matters affecting the

interests of Holders, including, without limitation, the variation of the terms of the Notes by the

Issuer and the granting of approvals, consents and waivers, and the declaration of an Event

of Default.


52

17.2 Modification of the Deed Poll

Subject to Condition 17.3:

(a) the Deed Poll or the terms of any Series of Notes may be amended by the Issuer,

without the consent of any Holder, if in the opinion of the Issuer, the amendment:

(i) is necessary or advisable to comply with any law;

(ii) is necessary to correct an obvious error or omission, or is otherwise of a

formal, minor, technical or administrative nature only;

(iii) is made for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or

supplementing any defective provision;

(iv) is not materially prejudicial to the rights of Holders generally; or

(v) only applies to Notes issued by the Issuer after the date of the amendment;

and

(b) in all other circumstances, the Deed Poll or the terms of any Series of Notes may be

amended with the approval of Holders by an Extraordinary Resolution. The Issuer

will notify the Registrar of any amendments made pursuant to this Condition and will

use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar notifies the Holders of

the amendment by post to the address of the Holders recorded in the Register.

In the case of an amendment to the terms of any Series of Notes, reference in this Condition

17.2 to “Holders” are to be taken to refer to the Holders of that Series of Notes.

17.3 No changes which may affect Tier 2 Capital eligibility

The prior written approval of APRA is required in respect of any modification, abrogation,

variation, amendment, waiver or compromise in respect of the terms of any Series of

Subordinated Notes or the Deed Poll where such modification, abrogation, variation,

amendment, waiver or compromise may affect the eligibility of any Series of Subordinated

Notes as Tier 2 Capital.

18 Further Issues of Notes

The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Holders create and issue further

securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Notes in all respects (or in all

respects except for the Issue Date or first payment of interest on them) and so that such

further issue of securities shall be consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding

Notes of any Series or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their

issue. References in these Conditions to the Notes include (unless the context requires

otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single Series

with the Notes.

19 Notices

19.1 To Holders

All notices by the Issuer to Holders must be in writing and may be:

(a) posted by ordinary mail to the relevant Holder at its address appearing on the

Register (or in the case of joint Holders to the first named) and, if so, shall be

deemed to have been given on the sixth Business Day after posting if posted to an

address in Australia and on the tenth Business Day if posted to an address outside of

Australia; or


53

(b) given by the Issuer publishing the notice on its website and announcing the

publication of the notice to ASX and shall be deemed to have been given when the

announcement is made on ASX.

19.2 To the Issuer and Registrar

All notices by a Holder to the Issuer and Registrar will be valid if posted by ordinary mail to

the Issuer and the Registrar at their addresses specified above. Unless a later time is

specified in it, a notice by a Holder takes effect from the time it is received by the Issuer or

Registrar except that if it is received after 5.00pm in the place of receipt or not on a Business

Day, it is to be taken to be received at 9.00am on the next succeeding Business Day in that

place.

20 Governing Law

The Notes are governed by the laws in force in the State of Victoria and Australia.


54


Schedule to the Conditions of the Notes

1 Conversion

If ANZGHL must Convert a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note in accordance with the

Conditions, then, subject to this Schedule and Condition 10.2 and unless the Pricing

Supplement specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number applies, the following

provisions apply (provided, in all cases, that where a Subordinated Note is required to be

Converted only in part, references in this Schedule to the "Subordinated Note" shall be taken

to be references to the "Affected Subordinated Note" as defined in Condition 7.4(b)):

(a) the Subordinated Note will be automatically transferred free from any encumbrance

to ANZGHL on the Trigger Event Date;

(b) ANZGHL will allot and issue on the Trigger Event Date a number of ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares in respect of the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note equal

to the “Conversion Number”, where the Conversion Number (but subject to the

Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion Number) is a

number calculated according to the following formula:

Conversion Number =

Principal Amount

((1- CD) × VWAP)

where:

“CD” means the conversion discount specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement;

“VWAP” (expressed in dollars and cents) means the VWAP during the VWAP Period

and where the “Maximum Conversion Number” means a number calculated

according to the following formula:

Maximum Conversion Number =

Principal Amount

Issue Date VWAP × 0.2

(c) on the Trigger Event Date the rights of each Subordinated Noteholder (including to

payment of interest with respect to such Principal Amount, both in the future and as

accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to each Subordinated

Note or portion thereof that is being Converted will be automatically transferred for an

amount equal to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note that is being

Converted and that Principal Amount will be applied in accordance with the Deed of

Undertaking by way of payment for subscription for the ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to

be allotted and issued under Section 1(b) of this Schedule and the Deed of

Undertaking. Each Subordinated Noteholder is taken to have irrevocably directed

that any amount payable under Section 1 of this Schedule is to be applied as

provided for in Section 1 of this Schedule and no Subordinated Noteholder has any

right to payment in any other way;

(d) any calculation under Section 1(b) of this Schedule shall be, unless the context

requires otherwise, be rounded to four decimal places provided that if the total

number of additional ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a Subordinated

Noteholder in respect of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes it

holds which is being Converted includes a fraction of an ANZGHL Ordinary Share,

that fraction of an ANZGHL Ordinary Share will be disregarded;

(e) the rights attaching to ANZGHL Ordinary Shares issued as a result of Conversion do

not take effect until 5.00pm (Melbourne, Australia time) on the Trigger Event Date

(unless another time is required for Conversion on that date). At that time all other

rights conferred or restrictions imposed on that Subordinated Note under the

Conditions will no longer have effect to the extent of the Principal Amount of that

Subordinated Note being Converted (except for the right to receive the ANZGHL


55

Ordinary Shares as set forth in Section 1 of this Schedule and Condition 8 and

except for rights relating to interest which is payable but has not been paid on or

before the Trigger Event Date which will continue); and

(f) under the arrangements as agreed between, amongst others, ANZGHL and the

Issuer and relevant members of the ANZ Group, deal with the Subordinated Notes

being Converted so that they are converted into ANZBGL Ordinary Shares and

terminated (the "Related Conversion Steps").

2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in the Conditions:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period, ANZGHL

Ordinary Shares have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as cum

dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement and the relevant Principal

Amount of Subordinated Notes will Convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares after the

date those ANZGHL Ordinary Shares no longer carry that dividend or any other

distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares have been quoted cum dividend or cum any other

distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount ("Cum Value") equal to:

(i) (in case of a dividend or other distribution), the amount of that dividend or

other distribution including, if the dividend or other distribution is franked, the

amount that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the

dividend or other distribution who is both a resident of Australia and a natural

person under the Tax Act;

(ii) (in the case of any other entitlement that is not a dividend or other

distribution under Section 2(a)(i) of this Schedule which is traded on the

Australian Securities Exchange on any of those Business Days), the volume

weighted average sale price of all such entitlements sold on the Australian

Securities Exchange during the VWAP Period on the Business Days on

which those entitlements were traded; or

(iii) (in the case of any other entitlement which is not traded on the Australian

Securities Exchange during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement

as reasonably determined by the directors of ANZGHL; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, ANZGHL Ordinary

Shares have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as ex dividend or

ex any other distribution or entitlement, and the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes will Convert into ANZGHL Ordinary Shares which would be

entitled to receive the relevant dividend or other distribution or entitlement, the VWAP

on the Business Days on which those ANZGHL Ordinary Shares have been quoted

ex dividend or ex any other distribution or entitlement shall be increased by the Cum

Value.

3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change in the number of the

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a division, consolidation or

reclassification of ANZGHL’s share capital (not involving any cash payment or other

distribution (or compensation) to or by holders of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares) (a

"Reorganisation"), in calculating the VWAP for that VWAP Period the daily VWAP

applicable on each day in the relevant VWAP Period which falls before the date on

which trading in ANZGHL Ordinary Shares is conducted on a post Reorganisation

basis shall be adjusted by multiplying such daily VWAP by the following formula:


56

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Schedule will, absent

manifest error, be effective and binding on Subordinated Noteholders under these

Conditions and these Conditions will be construed accordingly. Any such adjustment

must be promptly notified to all Subordinated Noteholders.

4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, corresponding adjustments to VWAP

will be made in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 of this Schedule during the 20

Business Day period over which VWAP is calculated for the purposes of determining the

Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with Sections 5 to 7 of this Schedule (inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for bonus issues

(a) Subject to Section 5(b) of this Schedule below, if at any time after the Issue Date

ANZGHL makes a pro rata bonus issue of ANZGHL Ordinary Shares to holders of

ANZGHL Ordinary Shares generally, the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted

immediately in accordance with the following formula:

V = V

o

x

RD

RD + RN

where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application of this

formula;

specified in the Pricing Supplement as the Alternative Conversion Number (subject to

the Alternative Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion

Number as determined in accordance with Section 1(b) of this Schedule); and

(b) Sections 2 to 8 (inclusive) of this Schedule do not apply to the Alternative Conversion

Number.

Convening a Meeting

by the party convening the meeting to the other parties. The notice shall specify the

English), authorise any person to act as its representative (a representative) in

connection with that meeting.

7. Any vote cast at a meeting by a proxy or a representative appointed by Holders in

accordance with paragraphs 5 or 6 above is valid despite any previous revocation or

amendment of the appointment of the proxy or representative (as applicable) or any of

the relevant Holder’s instructions pursuant to which the form referred to in

paragraph 5 was executed unless written notice of such revocation or amendment is

received from the relevant Holder by the Registrar in each case at least 24 hours

before the time fixed for the meeting.

Chairman

8. The chairman of a meeting shall be such person as the Issuer may nominate in

writing, but if no such nomination is made or if the person nominated is not present

within 15 minutes after the time fixed for the meeting the Holders or agents present

shall choose one of their number to be chairman, failing which the Issuer may appoint

a chairman. The chairman need not be a Holder or agent. The chairman of an

adjourned meeting need not be the same person as the chairman of the original

meeting.

Attendance

(a) Holders and agents;

(b) the chairman;

(c) the Issuer and the Registrar (through their respective representatives) and

their respective financial and legal advisers; and

Quorum and Adjournment

10. No business (except choosing a chairman) shall be transacted at a meeting unless a

quorum is present at the commencement of business. If a quorum is not present

within 15 minutes from the time initially fixed for the meeting, it shall, if convened

on the requisition of Holders, be dissolved. In any other case it shall be adjourned

until such date, not less than 14 nor more than 42 days later, and time and place as the

chairman may decide. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time

fixed for a meeting so adjourned, the meeting shall be dissolved.

63
11. Two or more Holders or agents present in person shall be a quorum:

(a) in the cases marked ‘No minimum proportion’ in the table below, whatever

the proportion of the Notes which they represent; and

(b) in any other case, only if they represent the proportion of the Notes shown by

the table below.

Schedule

12. The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) a meeting adjourn the

meeting from time to time and from place to place. Only business which could have

been transacted the original meeting may be transacted at a meeting adjourned in

accordance with this paragraph or paragraph 10.

13. At least 10 days’ notice of a meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be

given in the same manner as for an original meeting and that notice shall state the

quorum required at the adjourned meeting. No notice need, however, otherwise be

given of an adjourned meeting.

Voting

14. Each question submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a show of hands unless a

poll is (before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands) demanded by

the chairman, the Issuer or one or more persons representing 2 per cent of the Notes.

15. Unless a poll is demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has or has

not been passed shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number

or proportion of the votes cast in favour of or against it.

16. If a poll is demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as provided

below) either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman directs. The result of

the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which it was demanded

as at the date it was taken. A demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting

continuing for the transaction of business other than the question on which it has been

demanded.

17. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall

be taken at once.

18. A Holder or, in the case of a Note registered as being owned jointly, the person whose

name appears first on the Register as one of the owners of the Note, is entitled to vote

in respect of the Note either in person or by proxy.

19. Subject to paragraph 18, on a show of hands every person who is present in person

and is a Holder or is a proxy or representative has one vote. On a poll every such

person has one vote in respect of each proportion of the Principal Amount of the

Notes equal to the minimum denomination of such Series of Notes registered in that

person’s name or in respect of which that person is a proxy or representative.

64
Without prejudice to the obligations of proxies, a person entitled to more than one

vote need not use them all or cast them all in the same way.

20. In case of equality of votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll

have a casting vote in addition to any other votes which he may have.

Use of Ordinary Resolution

21. The Holders have the power by Ordinary Resolution to do anything for which an

Extraordinary Resolution is not required.

Effect and Publication of an Extraordinary Resolution

22. An Extraordinary Resolution or Ordinary Resolution shall be binding on all the

Holders, whether or not present at the meeting and each of them shall be bound to

give effect to it accordingly. The passing of such a resolution shall be conclusive

evidence that the circumstances justify its being passed. The Issuer shall give notice

of the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution or Ordinary Resolution to Holders

within 14 days but failure to do so shall not invalidate the resolution.

Resolutions in writing

23. A resolution is passed:

(a) if it is an Ordinary Resolution, where within one month from the Notification

Date, Holders representing a clear majority of the aggregate Principal

Amount of outstanding Notes of any Series as at the Notification Date have

signed the resolution; or

(b) if it is an Extraordinary Resolution, where within one month from the

Notification Date, Holders representing at least 75% of the aggregate

Principal Amount of outstanding Notes of any Series as at the Notification

Date have signed the resolution,

and any such resolution is deemed to have been passed on the date on which the last

Holder whose signature on the resolution caused it to be so passed signed it (as

evidenced on its face). For the purpose of this paragraph, Notification Date means

the date stated in the copies of the resolutions to be made in writing sent for that

purpose to the Holders, which must be no later than the date on which the resolution

is first notified to Holders.

24. The accidental omission to give a copy of the resolution to, or the non-receipt of such

a copy by, any Holder does not invalidate a resolution in writing made pursuant to

paragraph 23.

25. A resolution in writing signed by Holders may be contained in one document or in

several documents in like form each signed by one or more Holders.

Minutes

26. The Registrar must keep minutes of the proceedings of every meeting of Holders.

Minutes shall be made of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting and, if

purporting to be signed by the chairman of that meeting or of the next succeeding

meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters in them. Until the contrary is

proved, every meeting for which minutes have been so made and signed shall be

deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or

proceedings transacted at it to have been duly passed and transacted.

65
Austraclear

27. If Notes of any Series are lodged in the Austraclear System, all dealings (including

the convening and holding of meetings) in relation to those Notes within the

Austraclear System will be governed by the Austraclear Regulations and need not

comply with these Meeting Provisions to the extent of any inconsistency.
