Under this U.S.$100,000,000,000 Global Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme), National Australia Bank Limited (ABN 12 004 044 937)
(NAB), Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) and BNZ International Funding Limited, acting through its London Branch (BNZ-IF) (each, an Issuer and
together, the Issuers), may from time to time issue notes (the Notes, which include Senior Notes (in the case of NAB and BNZ), Guaranteed Senior
Notes (in the case of BNZ-IF) and Subordinated Notes (in the case of NAB and BNZ) as such terms are defined on pages 150-151 of this Offering
Circular) denominated in any currency agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below). Any Notes issued under the
Programme on or after the date of this Offering Circular are issued subject to the provisions described herein. This does not affect any Notes in issue
prior to the date hereof. The payment of all amounts owing in respect of Guaranteed Senior Notes issued by BNZ-IF will be unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed by BNZ (in such capacity, the Guarantor). Notes may be issued in bearer or registered form (respectively, Bearer Notes and
Registered Notes).
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified on page 2 of this Offering Circular and any additional Dealer
appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Issuers (each, a Dealer and together, the Dealers), which appointment may be for a specific
issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Offering Circular to the relevant Dealer shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be)
subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe such Notes.
This Offering Circular has been approved as a base prospectus by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the Competent Authority or
the CSSF), as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the Prospectus Regulation). The CSSF only approves this Offering Circular as
meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Approval by the CSSF should not
be considered as an endorsement of any of the Issuers, the Guarantor or of the quality of the Notes. Investors should make their own assessment as to
the suitability of investing in the Notes.
Application has been made to:
(i)
the CSSF to approve this Offering Circular in connection with the issue by the Issuers of Notes with a minimum denomination of at least
100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) to be admitted to the official list and traded on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange (the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial
Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU as amended (MiFID II))), in accordance with the Prospectus Regulation (PR Notes); and
(ii)
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange to approve this Offering Circular in connection with the issue by the Issuers of Notes with a minimum
denomination of at least 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency) (the Exempt Notes) to be admitted to trading on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange's Euro MTF market and the professional segment of the Euro MTF market (the Euro MTF market is not a regulated market
for the purposes of MiFID II, but is subject to the supervision of the Luxembourg financial sector and stock exchange regulator, the CSSF)
(the Euro MTF Market).
Each Issuer may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market and, where such Notes are, in addition, issued with a
minimum denomination of at least 100,000 or otherwise fall within an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation or the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (the FSMA) from the requirement to publish a prospectus respectively, such Notes are, in addition, hereinafter also referred to in this
Offering Circular as Exempt Notes.
For the avoidance of doubt, each Issuer may also issue Notes with a minimum denomination of less than 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other
currency) which are offered to the public in the European Economic Area (and hereinafter also referred to in this Offering Circular as the EEA) or the
United Kingdom (and hereinafter also referred to in this Offering Circular as the UK) and fall within an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation or
the FSMA, respectively, from the requirement to publish a prospectus.
This Offering Circular (as supplemented as at the relevant time, if applicable) is valid for 12 months from its date in relation to Notes which
are to be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EEA. The obligation to supplement this Offering Circular in the event of a significant
new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy does not apply when this Offering Circular is no longer valid and the validity of this
Offering Circular will expire on 15 November 2023.
The CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Offering Circular in connection with Exempt Notes, including the
form of Final Terms in respect of Exempt Notes. In accordance with Article 6(4) of the Luxembourg act dated 16 July 2019 on prospectuses
for securities (the Prospectus Act 2019), by approving this Offering Circular, in accordance with Article 20 of the Prospectus Regulation, the
CSSF does not engage in respect of the economic or financial opportunity of the operation or the quality and solvency of the Issuers.




The Programme provides that Notes may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or additional stock exchange(s), or market(s),
as may be agreed between the relevant Issuer, the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Senior Notes) and the relevant Dealer. References in this
Offering Circular to Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to the official list and to trading on
(i) the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or (ii) the Euro MTF Market.
Notice of, inter alia, the aggregate nominal amount of Notes, interest (if any) payable in respect of Notes and the issue price of Notes which are
applicable to each Tranche of Notes will be set out in the applicable Final Terms (the Final Terms) which, with respect to all Notes to be listed on the
Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or the Euro MTF Market, will be delivered to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and, where
applicable, the Competent Authority, on or before the date of issue of the Notes of such Tranche.
Information relating to the ratings of the Programme and issues of Notes under the Programme is set out on pages 92 to 94 of this Offering
Circular.
Neither the Notes nor the Guarantee (as defined under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes") (in the case of Guaranteed Senior Notes) have been or will
be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other
jurisdiction of the United States, and the Notes may include Bearer Notes that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. The Notes may not be offered
or sold (or, in the case of Bearer Notes, delivered) in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S
under the Securities Act (Regulation S)), except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. See "Form of the Notes" for a description of the manner in which Notes will be issued. Registered Notes are subject to certain restrictions
on transfer, see "Subscription and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions".
Investors in Hong Kong should not purchase Subordinated Notes (as defined herein) in the primary or secondary markets unless they are
professional investors (as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong) and its subsidiary legislation) only
and understand the risks involved. Subordinated Notes are generally not considered suitable for purchase by retail investors.
An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. In particular, Subordinated Notes are complex financial
instruments with high risk. There are risks inherent in the holding of Subordinated Notes, including the risks in relation to their subordination,
the implications on holders of Subordinated Notes (such as a substantial loss) and, in the case of Subordinated Notes issued by NAB, the
circumstances in which such Subordinated Notes may be written down or converted into ordinary shares in the capital of NAB. The
circumstances in which such holders may suffer loss as a result of holding the Subordinated Notes are difficult to predict and the quantum of
any loss incurred by investors in the Subordinated Notes in such circumstances is also highly uncertain. For a discussion of these risks see
"Risk Factors".

independently verified the information contained herein. No representation, warranty or undertaking,
express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liability is accepted by the Dealers or the Trustee
as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained or incorporated in this Offering

The Bearer Notes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements and may not be offered, sold or delivered
within the United States or its possessions or to United States persons, except in certain transactions
permitted by U.S. tax regulations. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by
the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and the regulations promulgated
thereunder.
This Offering Circular does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes
in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such
jurisdiction. The distribution of this Offering Circular and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted
by law in certain jurisdictions. None of the Issuers, the Guarantor, the Dealers or the Trustee represents
that this Offering Circular may be lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in
compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or pursuant
to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution
or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by any Issuer, the Guarantor, any of the Dealers or
the Trustee which is intended to permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this Offering
Circular in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. No Notes may be offered or sold,
directly or indirectly, and neither this Offering Circular nor any advertisement or other offering
material may be distributed or published, in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will
result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. Persons into whose possession this
Offering Circular or any Notes may come must inform themselves about, and observe, any such
restrictions on the distribution of this Offering Circular and the offer and sale of Notes. In addition,
there are particular restrictions on the distribution of this Offering Circular and the offer or sale of
Notes in the United States and its territories or possessions or to any resident thereof, the EEA (including
Austria, the Republic of Italy and Belgium), the UK, New Zealand (and hereinafter also referred to in
this Offering Circular as NZ), Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Canada, China, the Republic
of Korea and the Commonwealth of Australia (Australia); see "Subscription and Sale and Transfer and
Selling Restrictions".
This Offering Circular has been prepared on the basis that any Notes with a minimum denomination of
less than 100,000 (or equivalent in another currency) will only be offered to the public in an EEA
Member State pursuant to an exemption under Article 1(4) of the Prospectus Regulation or in the UK
pursuant to an exemption under section 86 of the FSMA.
SUITABILITY OF INVESTMENT
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the relevant Issuer
and the Guarantor (in the case of Guaranteed Senior Notes) and the terms of the Notes being offered,
including the merits and risks involved.
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each
potential investor may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other
professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the
merits and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this Offering Circular or any applicable Supplement to this Offering Circular;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on
its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the
Notes, including Notes with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where
0083121-0000516 UKO2: 2005198703.34
5



the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's
currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and is familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
indices and financial markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect
its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The Subordinated Notes discussed in this Offering Circular are complex financial instruments with high
risk. More generally, legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment
activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or
regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine
whether and to what extent (1) Notes are legal investments for it, (2) Notes can be used as collateral for
various types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes.
Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the
appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II product governance"
which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for
distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending
the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a
distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in
respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID
Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the MiFID Product Governance
Rules), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise
neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the
purpose of the MiFID Product Governance Rules.
UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR product governance"
which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for
distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending
the Notes (a UK distributor) should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a
UK distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
Sourcebook (the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules) is responsible for undertaking its own target
market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment)
and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR
Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such
Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a
manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules.
IMPORTANT ­ EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a
0083121-0000516 UKO2: 2005198703.34
6



retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the Insurance
Distribution Directive), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in
point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus
Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as
amended, the PRIIPs Regulation) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
IMPORTANT ­ UK RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail
Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of
Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA
to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part
of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the UK
Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the UK PRIIPs Regulation) for
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail
investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
U.S. INFORMATION
NEITHER THE NOTES NOR THE GUARANTEE (IN THE CASE OF GUARANTEED SENIOR
NOTES) HAVE BEEN OR WILL BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR WITH
ANY SECURITIES REGULATORY AUTHORITY OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION
OF THE UNITED STATES. THE NOTES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD (OR, IN THE CASE
OF BEARER NOTES, DELIVERED) WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OR TO, OR FOR THE
ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, U.S. PERSONS (AS DEFINED IN REGULATION S UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT), EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION

ANY OTHER SECURITIES COMMISSION OR OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY IN THE
UNITED STATES, NOR HAVE THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES APPROVED THIS OFFERING
CIRCULAR OR CONFIRMED THE ACCURACY OR DETERMINED THE ADEQUACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO
THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.
NONE OF THE DEALERS, THE ISSUERS, THE GUARANTOR OR THE TRUSTEE MAKES ANY
REPRESENTATION TO ANY INVESTOR IN THE NOTES REGARDING THE LEGALITY OF ITS
INVESTMENT UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LAWS. ANY INVESTOR IN THE NOTES SHOULD
BE ABLE TO BEAR THE ECONOMIC RISK OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTES FOR AN
INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.
This Offering Circular has been prepared by the Issuers and the Guarantor for use in connection with
the offer and sale of the Notes (1) outside the United States to persons that are not U.S. persons pursuant
to Regulation S under the Securities Act and (2) with respect to Registered Notes, to qualified
institutional buyers within the meaning of Rule 144A (QIBs), in reliance upon Rule 144A of the
Securities Act (Rule 144A), or in transactions otherwise exempt from, or not subject to, the registration
0083121-0000516 UKO2: 2005198703.34

requirements under the Securities Act. Each purchaser of Registered Notes that is a U.S. person (as
defined in Regulation S) is hereby notified that the offer and sale of any Registered Notes to it may be
being made in reliance upon the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144A.
Each purchaser or holder of Notes will be deemed, by its acceptance or purchase of any such Notes, to
have made certain representations and agreements intended to restrict the resale or other transfer of
such Notes as set out in "Subscription and Sale and Transfer and Selling Restrictions". Unless otherwise
stated, terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them in "Form of the Notes".
The Notes may include Notes in bearer form that are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to
certain exceptions, the Notes may not be offered or sold or, in the case of Notes in bearer form, delivered,
in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of, United States persons as defined in the Code
and regulations thereunder.
AVAILABLE INFORMATION
To permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with any resales or other transfers of Notes that
are "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) of the Securities Act, each of the Issuers has
undertaken in the Trust Deed to furnish, upon the request of a holder of such Notes or any beneficial
interest therein, to such holder or to a prospective purchaser designated by such holder or beneficial
owner, the information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act if, at
the time of the request, the relevant Issuer is neither a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), nor exempt from reporting
pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.
SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
NAB is a corporation organised under the laws of Australia. All of the officers and directors named
herein reside outside the United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of NAB and of such
officers and directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for
investors to effect service of process outside Australia upon NAB or such persons, or to enforce
judgments against them obtained in courts outside Australia predicated upon civil liabilities of NAB or
such directors and officers under laws other than Australian law, including any judgment predicated
upon United States federal securities laws. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Australia in original
actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts of civil liabilities predicated
solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States.
BNZ, BNZ-IF and the Guarantor are corporations organised under the laws of New Zealand. All of the
respective officers and directors of BNZ, BNZ-IF and the Guarantor named herein reside outside the
United States and all or a substantial portion of the assets of each of BNZ, BNZ-IF and the Guarantor
and of their respective officers and directors are located outside the United States. As a result, it may
not be possible for investors to effect service of process outside New Zealand upon BNZ or BNZ-IF or
the Guarantor or upon such persons, or to enforce judgments against them obtained in courts outside
New Zealand predicated upon civil liabilities of BNZ or BNZ-IF or the Guarantor, as the case may be,
or their respective directors and officers under laws other than New Zealand law, including any
judgment predicated upon United States federal securities laws. Each of BNZ, BNZ-IF and the
Guarantor has been advised by Russell McVeagh, their New Zealand counsel, that there is doubt as to
the enforceability in New Zealand in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of
United States courts of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United
States.

CLIMATE BONDS INITIATIVE CERTIFICATION ­ DISCLAIMER
In relation to any issue by NAB of Exempt Notes as Green Bonds, NAB may seek to procure the
certification of the relevant Tranche of Notes as "Climate Bonds" by the Climate Bonds Standard Board
of the Climate Bonds Initiative. The certification of any such Green Bonds issued by NAB as "Climate
Bonds" by the Climate Bonds Initiative will be based solely on the version of the Climate Bonds
Standard in force as at the relevant date of issue of such Notes (the Climate Bonds Standard) and does
not, and is not intended to, make any representation, warranty, undertaking, express or implied, or give
any assurance with respect to any other matter relating to such Notes or the Portfolio (as defined on
page 244 under "Use of Proceeds--Green Bonds"), including but not limited to this Offering Circular,
the applicable Final Terms in respect of a Tranche of such Notes, NAB or the management of NAB.
The certification of any Green Bonds issued by NAB as "Climate Bonds" by the Climate Bonds Initiative
will be addressed solely to the board of directors of NAB and is not a recommendation to any person to
purchase, hold or sell such Notes and such certification does not address the market price or suitability
of those Notes for a particular investor. Each potential purchaser of such Green Bonds certified as
"Climate Bonds" should determine for itself the relevance of this certification. Any purchase of such
Notes should be based upon such investigation that each potential purchaser deems necessary. The
certification also does not address the merits of the decision by NAB or any third party to participate in
any project in the Portfolio and does not express and should not be deemed to be an expression of an
opinion as to NAB or any aspect of any project in the Portfolio (including but not limited to the financial
viability of such project) other than with respect to conformance with the Climate Bonds Standard.
In issuing or monitoring, as applicable, the certification, the Climate Bonds Initiative will assume and
rely upon the fairness, accuracy, reasonableness and completeness in all material respects of the
information supplied or otherwise made available to the Climate Bonds Initiative. The Climate Bonds
Initiative does not assume or accept any responsibility or liability to any person for independently
verifying (and it has not verified) such information or to undertake (and it has not undertaken) any
independent evaluation of any project in the Portfolio or NAB. In addition, the Climate Bonds Initiative
does not assume any obligation to conduct (and it has not conducted) any physical inspection of any such
project. Any certification of Green Bonds issued by NAB as "Climate Bonds" may only be used with
such Notes and may not be used for any other purpose without the Climate Bonds Initiative's prior
written consent.
