Key Risks The key risks associated with the Bonds include:
o ANZ becomes insolvent or is unable to meet its obligations under the Bonds,
including the obligations to pay Interest Payments on, and repay the
Principal Amount of, the Bonds;
o the market for your Bonds may not be liquid and the market price for your
Bonds may fluctuate. If you wish to sell your Bonds before maturity, the sale
price may be less than the  amount you paid for them or you may not be able
to sell them at all; and
o the Interest Rate of the Bonds may become less attractive to you over time
compared to other investments.
ANZ's disclosure statement for the year ended 30 September 2014 contains more
information on the risks ANZ faces in carrying on its business as a
registered bank, and the steps ANZ takes to mitigate these risks.  Details on
how you can obtain a copy of ANZ's disclosure statements are listed in the
Documentation section of this table.
Event of Default The Events of Default include:
o if ANZ does not pay any Interest Payments or the Principal Amount in
respect of the Bonds within 14 days of the due date; and
o if an order is made or an effective resolution passed for the dissolution
of ANZ (other than for the purposes of solvent reconstruction or
amalgamation).
Tax The return on your Bonds will be affected by taxes.  If a law requires
ANZ to deduct an amount in respect of taxes from a payment under a Bond, then
ANZ will deduct the amount and pay it to the relevant authority.  ANZ is not
obliged to pay you any additional amounts in relation to any such deduction.

Under the Deed Poll, you indemnify ANZ in respect of any tax which ANZ or the
Registrar becomes liable to pay on your behalf.  ANZ may deduct any indemnity
payment from future amounts payable.
Documentation: Information about ANZ is contained or referred to in ANZ's
latest interim and full year disclosure statements (which contain ANZ's most

disclosure statements free of charge at any branch of ANZ or from

to the Bonds) ("Series Notice"), the Deed Poll and the Investment Statement

Trading of Bonds on NZX Debt Market To be eligible to trade the Bonds on the
NZX Debt Market, you must have an account with a NZX Primary Market
Participant, a Common Shareholder Number ("CSN") and an Authorisation Code
("FIN").  If you do not have an account with a financial adviser you should
be aware that opening an account can take a number of days depending on the
NZX Primary Market Participant's new client procedures.  You will receive
your Holding Statement from the Registry within 5 business days of the
initial date of quotation, which will also include your CSN.  You will also
be able to obtain your CSN by calling (09) 488 8777.  If you do not have a
FIN, it is expected that you will be sent one as a separate communication by
the Registry.  If you have a financial adviser and have not received a FIN by
the date you want to trade your Bonds, your financial adviser can arrange to
obtain your FIN from the Registry.  Your financial adviser may be charged for
requesting your FIN from the Registry and may pass this cost on to you.
NZX Waiver NZX has provided ANZ with a waiver from the NZX Listing Rules
which means that ANZ is able to provide its quarterly disclosure statements
as a registered bank instead of complying with NZX Listing Rules 10.3 and
10.4.
