NOTICE OF PRIVATE BILL
THE ANZ BANKING GROUP (NEW ZEALAND) BILL

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., hereby
gives notice that it intends to apply for leave to bring in
the above-mentioned Private Bill during the present session
of Parliament.

The objects of the Bill are to enable Australia and New
Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (hereafter called “the existing
Bank”) to form a company limited by shares under the
Companies Act 1955, having among its objects the carrying
on in New Zealand of the business of banking and to effect
the transfer to that company of the undertaking in New
Zealand of the existing Bank.

The company so formed shall be called ANZ Banking
Group (New Zealand) Ltd. (hereafter called “the new
Bank”).

The principal purpose for which the new Bank is to
be incorporated will be to acquire the whole of the assets
and undertaking of the existing Bank relating to its business
in New Zealand, and to carry on in New Zealand and
elsewhere the business of banking in all its branches and
departments.

As the New Zealand Companies Act 1955, in section 458,
provides that no company having for its object the carrying
on in New Zealand of the business of banking shall be
registered under that Act, the formation of the proposed
new banking company can be made possible only by special
legislation, and legislation is also the only means by which
the transfer of the undertaking of the existing Bank to the
new Bank can be effected efficiently and instantaneously, and
without interference with the conduct and continuity of the
business of banking.

The Bill is divided into two parts. The first part contains
the provisions enabling the existing Bank to form and
incorporate the new Bank under the Companies Act 1955.

The second part is designed to transfer the undertaking
of the existing Bank relating to its New Zealand business to
the new Bank, followed by provisions for the transfer of the
New Zealand assets of certain other subsidiaries.

On the appointed day all the assets liabilities and obliga-
tions of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.,
will be assets liabilities and obligations of the new Bank.
Customers of the existing Bank will have the same relation-
ship with the new Bank as they had with the existing Bank.

The promoter of the Bill is Australia and New Zealand
Banking Group Ltd.

Communications or notices to the promoter can be sent
to Messrs Bell Gully and Co., Solicitors, 109-117 Featherston
Street, Wellington (P.O. Box 1291).

A copy of the Bill can be inspected at the offices of
Messrs Bell Gully and Co. at the address stated during
normal office hours on every weekday other than Saturday.

THE CHARITABLE TRUSTS ACT
NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF A SCHEME UNDER
PART III OF THE CHARITABLE TRUSTS ACT 1957

Notice is hereby given that the New Zealand Insurance Co.
Ltd., have filed in the office of the Supreme Court at
Wellington, an application for approval of a scheme by which
a bequest to the New Zealand Insurance Co. Ltd., under the
will of Janet Firth, late of Wellington, widow, deceased, for
the purposes of establishing a scholarship at the Cobden
Public School to be known as the Joseph P. Firth Scholar-
ship which was to be awarded to male pupils who on the
last day of December next following the award would be not
less than 12 years of age and had been pupils of the school
during the whole of the scholastic year in which the award
was made, is applied for the purposes of a scholarship to
be awarded to male pupils of Greymouth Intermediate School
who would meet the age qualification upon the same terms
as set out in the original trust under the will and who have
formerly been pupils for at least 1 full scholastic year at
Cobden School and who have been pupils of Greymouth
Intermediate School during the whole of the scholastic year
in which the award is made upon the grounds that it is
impossible to apply the said funds to the award of a scholar-
ship to male pupils of Cobden School of the said age and the
applicants believe the new purpose would best give expres-
sion to the intention of the above-named testatrix.

Copies of the scheme and the report of the Attorney-
General thereon may be inspected free of charge at the office
of the Registrar of the Supreme Court, Wellington, and at the
offices of Messrs Phillips, Shayle-George and Co., Solicitors,
Government Life Building, Customhouse Quay, Wellington.

The date proposed for the hearing of the application is
the 19th day of September 1979. Any person desiring to
oppose the scheme is hereby required to give written notice
of his intention to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, at
Wellington, and to the New Zealand Insurance Co. Ltd., and
to the Attorney-General not less than 7 clear days before
that date.

RICHARD NORMAN MARTIN,
Solicitor for the New Zealand Insurance Co. Ltd.
