Disclosure regarding forward-looking statements
The information contained in this Report on Form 6-K contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this Report and include statements regarding Westpac’s current intent, belief or expectations with respect to its business and operations, macro and micro economic and market conditions, results of operations and financial condition and performance, capital adequacy and liquidity and risk management, including, without limitation, future loan loss provisions and financial support to certain borrowers, forecasted economic indicators and performance metric outcomes, indicative drivers, climate- and other sustainability-related statements, commitments, targets, projections and metrics, and other estimated and proxy data.
Words such as ‘will’, ‘may’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘seek’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘continue’, ‘plan’, ‘estimate’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘probability’, ‘indicative’, ‘risk’, ‘aim’, ‘outlook’, ‘forecast’, ‘assumption’, ‘projection’, ‘target’, ‘goal’, ‘guidance’, ‘objective’, ‘ambition’ or other similar words, are used to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect Westpac’s current views on future events and are subject to change, certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and other factors which are, in many instances, beyond Westpac’s control (and the control of Westpac’s officers, employees, agents and advisors), and have been made based on management’s and/or the Board’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect upon Westpac.
Forward-looking statements may also be made, verbally or in writing, by members of Westpac’s management or Board in connection with this Report. Such statements are subject to the same limitations, uncertainties, assumptions and disclaimers set out in this Report.
There can be no assurance that future developments or performance will align with Westpac’s expectations or that the effect of future developments on Westpac will be those anticipated. Actual results could differ materially from those Westpac expects or which are expressed or implied in forward-looking statements, depending on various factors including, but not limited to, those described in the section titled ‘Risk factors’ under the section ‘Strategic Review’ in Westpac’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to us, investors and others relying on information in this Report should carefully consider such factors and other uncertainties and events.
Except as required by law, Westpac assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in this Report, whether from new information, future events, conditions or otherwise, after the date of this Report.

Retirement of Chief Information Officer
Westpac today announced Chief Information Officer Scott Collary will retire from the bank later this year after a distinguished career in financial services and six years with Westpac.
Mr Collary has led Westpac’s technology function through a significant period of modernisation, resilience uplift and simplification across core systems.
Westpac CEO Anthony Miller said Mr Collary had played a central role in strengthening the bank’s technology foundations.
“Scott has made a major contribution to the way our technology supports our customers and people every day. The bank is more stable, more resilient and better protected because of the work he has led,” Mr Miller said.
“Most importantly, Scott has played a critical role in cyber security and scam prevention, protecting Westpac’s customers from a range of significant ongoing threats.
“Scott brought a calm and deliberate approach to complex challenges, and we thank him for his significant contribution.”
Mr Collary will remain with the bank during a transition period while a search is underway.
