The timetable above is indicative only and may be subject to change. Westpac, in conjunction with the Joint Lead Managers, reserves the right to amend any or all of these dates and times without notice subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and other applicable laws. In particular, Westpac reserves the right to close the Retail Entitlement Offer early, extend the closing date of the Retail Entitlement Offer, to accept late applications under the Retail Entitlement Offer (either generally or in particular cases) and to withdraw the Retail Entitlement Offer without prior notice. Any date changes may affect the issue date of New Shares. Eligible Retail Shareholders wishing to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer are encouraged to apply as soon as possible:
- by making their Application Payment by BPAY®, using the BPAY reference number that will be on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Forms (available on this site from 26 October 2015 and to be mailed to all Eligible Retail Shareholders by 26 October 2015);
- online at this website; or
- by submitting their Entitlement and Acceptance Form via postal mail,
to ensure their application is received by the Registrar in time.
The commencement of the quotation of Entitlements and New Shares is subject to confirmation from ASX.
Cooling off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot withdraw your application once it has been received by the Registrar.
1. Application Payments and completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms (if applicable) must be received by the Registrar by this date and time. Please refer to Section 2 of the Booklet, titled 'Summary of options available to Eligible Retail Shareholders' for information on how to apply. The Booklet was lodged with ASX on 19 October 2015.
Eligible Retail Shareholders should be aware that their own financial institution may implement earlier cut off times with regards to electronic payment, and should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.
