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, 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 2022 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.
