Index to Exhibits
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 about matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements
appear in a number of places in this Report and include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations with respect to
our business and operations, macro and micro economic and market conditions, results of operations and financial condition.
We use words such as ‘will’,
‘may’, ‘expect’, ‘indicative’, ‘intend’, ‘seek’, ‘would’,
‘should’, ‘could’, ‘continue’, ‘plan’, ‘aim’, ‘probability’,
‘risk’, ‘forecast’, ‘likely’, ‘estimate’, ‘anticipate’,
‘believe’ or other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our
current views with respect to future events and are subject to change, certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are, in
many instances, beyond our control and have been made based upon management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future
developments and their potential effect upon us. There can be no assurance that future developments will be in accordance with our
expectations or that the effect of future developments on us will be those anticipated. Should one or more of the risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the
expectations described in this Report. Factors that may impact on the forward-looking statements made include, but are not limited
to, those described in the section entitled ‘Risk factors’ in Westpac’s 2021 Interim Financial Results on Form 6-K
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the ongoing impact of COVID-19. When relying on forward-looking
statements to make decisions with respect to us, investors and others should carefully consider such factors and other uncertainties
and events. We are under no obligation, and do not intend, to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Report,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Report.
