ANZ to list almost 1m new employee shares on ASX

ANZ Group Holdings Limited has applied to quote 950,467 new ordinary fully paid shares on the ASX. These shares, issued on November 28, 2025, are part of an employee incentive scheme, satisfying ANZ’s obligations under its equity plans without requiring participants to pay cash. The company stated these securities will rank equally with existing shares from their issue date.

Among the shares to be quoted, 10,467 are being issued to key management personnel, specifically Antonia Watson. The total number of quoted ordinary fully paid shares on issue following this application will be 2,985,860,501. The company also noted that at December 4, 2025, the number of unquoted options/rights (ANZAA) was 4,109,418.

The issuance of these shares falls under the entity's 15% placement capacity, as they are being issued without security holder approval under listing rule 7.1. Further details regarding the terms of ANZ's employee incentive schemes can be found in the company's 2025 Annual Report.
