CANBERA (dpa-AFX) - Australia And New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (ANZ.AX,
ANZBY.PK, ANZ) on Thursday announced that it had lodged a Notice of Appeal from
the decision of the Federal
Court of Australia regarding its fully underwritten institutional share
placement in August 2015.

In a judgment delivered on October 13, the Court found ANZ should have notified
the Australian Securities Exchange of the joint lead managers' take-up of shares
in the placement.

A civil penalty of $900,000 was imposed on ANZ for a continuous disclosure
contravention that the Court found occurred on August 7, 2015.

ANZ Chief Risk Officer Kevin Corbally said, 'Given the importance of continuous
disclosure laws, there is benefit for financial market participants in obtaining
guidance from the Full Federal
Court.'

ANZ said it does not intend to provide any further comment at this time.
