ANZ considers a new Capital Notes issue
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZBGL) (ASX: AN3) today announced it is considering the launch of a new ANZ Capital Notes offer in February 2024, which may include a limited reinvestment offer for certain holders of ANZ Capital Notes 4 (CN4) (ASX: AN3PG).
ANZBGL has appointed ANZ Securities, Bell Potter, CBA, E&P Corporate Advisory, Morgan Stanley, Morgans, National Australia Bank, Ord Minnett, Shaw and Partners, UBS AG, Australia Branch and Westpac Institutional Bank (a division of Westpac Banking Corporation) as Joint Lead Managers and LGT Crestone Wealth Management as Co-Manager (together the Syndicate Brokers) to help consider the offer.
Launch of the offer remains subject to the receipt of various regulatory and Board approvals and prevailing economic conditions and there is no guarantee it will proceed.
Restrictions on distribution
In response to the implementation of the Design and Distribution Obligations legislation in October 2021, any ANZ Capital Notes offer (including any reinvestment offer) will be limited to wholesale investors and investors receiving personal advice, who apply through a Syndicate Broker.
ANZ Capital Notes offers will not include a securityholder offer which would enable existing ANZ securityholders to apply directly for the notes.
Investors interested in participating in any future ANZ Capital Notes offer (including existing ANZ securityholders through any reinvestment offer) should consider the target market determination for the notes and should speak to a Syndicate Broker or a financial adviser associated with a Syndicate Broker. However, not all financial advisers will have access to a new offer of ANZ Capital Notes. The contact details for the Syndicate Brokers are provided below.
These restrictions on distribution for future ANZ Capital Notes offers are consistent with the approach taken by ANZBGL for the issue of ANZ Capital Notes 8 in March 2023.
The Australian Government’s MoneySmart website contains details on choosing a financial adviser at moneysmart.gov.au/financial-advice/choosing-a-financial-adviser.
Any future ANZ Capital Notes offer will be made under a prospectus and any person wishing to apply will need to do so via an application form in or accompanying that prospectus.
