Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited Interim Dividend 2007

·                      Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan

·                      Foreign Currency Payments

ANZ’s fully franked 2007 Interim Dividend of 62 cents is payable on 2 July 2007 to holders of fully paid ordinary shares registered in the books of the Company at the close of business on 18 May 2007.

The price set in order to calculate the number of shares to be allotted under the ANZ Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Bonus Option Plan is A$29.29, being the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average sale price of ANZ shares sold on the ASX during the seven trading days ending on 30 May 2007 rounded to the nearest whole cent.

Where shareholders’ dividend entitlements are to be paid in New Zealand dollars or pounds sterling, those entitlements will be converted to those currencies using ANZ’s daily forward exchange rate at the close of business on 30 May 2007 for value on the payment date, those rates being A$1 = NZ$1.126432 and A$1 = ₤0.412965 respectively.

Yours faithfully

Offer extended to finalise takeover

ANZ today announced it will extend the Offer period to finalise its takeover of E*TRADE Australia.

The Offer will now close at 7:00pm Melbourne time on 25 May 2007 (unless further extended).  This will give the remaining shareholders a further opportunity to accept ANZ’s Offer.

ANZ will notify the ASX before 9:30 am tomorrow (Melbourne time) of its relevant interest in E*TRADE Australia shares by lodgement of a substantial holder notice.

As a result of ANZ having secured ownership of more than 80% of E*TRADE Australia shares, shareholders who accept the Offer and choose to receive ANZ scrip as consideration may be eligible for capital gains tax rollover relief. Information about the availability of capital gains tax rollover relief is included in Section 6 of ANZ’s Supplementary Bidder’s Statement of 27 April 2007.

The “Adjusted ANZ VWAP” for the purpose of the Offer, and the resulting number of ANZ shares to be issued to E*TRADE Australia shareholders electing to receive the ANZ scrip consideration, will be announced later this week.*

ANZ has also advised E*TRADE Australia shareholders that if they accept the Offer, commencing today, they will be paid the consideration of $4.30 per share in cash or the ANZ scrip consideration within 5 business days of their acceptance being processed.

On reaching 90%, ANZ will compulsorily acquire the remaining shares in E*TRADE Australia. E*TRADE Australia shareholders who do not accept the Offer and whose shares are compulsorily acquired will not receive payment for at least four weeks after the compulsory acquisition notice is lodged with ASIC.

An Offer Information Line is available for E*TRADE Australia shareholders. The numbers are 1300 301 126 (within Australia) or +61 2 9936 1977 (outside Australia) between the hours of 9:00am and 5:00pm Melbourne time (Monday to Friday).

*  The number of ANZ shares to be issued to provide $4.30 of ANZ shares per E*TRADE Australia share is to be based on the VWAP of all ANZ ordinary shares sold on ASX in the five trading days up to and including 15 May 2007, excluding certain trades which are deemed not representative of the general price at which ANZ shares are traded.  Sale prices on those days on which ANZ shares trade “cum” ANZ’s interim dividend payable for the half-year ended 31 March 2007 (the record date for which is 18 May 2007) are to be adjusted to an “ex” basis, by deducting the amount of the interim dividend (which is 62 cents per ANZ Share). ANZ shares traded “cum” the interim dividend on 9, 10 and 11 May 2007.  Details are included in ANZ’s Supplementary Bidder’s Statement dated 27 April 2007.
