AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP 2003-03-26 ASX-SIGNAL-G HOMEX - Melbourne +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) is the issuer of Instalment Warrants over ordinary shares in CSR Limited (CSR) under the Offering Circular dated 10 May 2001 (ASX Code CSRIAA). CSRIAA may be adjusted due to a proposed demerger of CSR into two separate ASX listed entities: CSR Limited and Rinker Group Limited (RIN). The proposal to demerge the group's heavy building materials assets from the other CSR group businesses requires a series of steps including a scheme of arrangement, a capital reduction, a share scheme dividend, the approval of CSR shareholders at a General Meeting to be held on 25 March 2003 and then Court approval. According to the indicative timetable, the effective date for the de-merger, if approved, is 31 March 2003. If the de-merger becomes effective, ANZ advises that the following adjustments to the CSRIAA Instalment Warrants will occur at the commencement of trading on 31 March 2003: * the Underlying Security will become 1 share in CSR Limited together with 1 share in Rinker Group Limited; and * the ASX Instalment Warrant code will change from CSRIAA to CSZIAA. The CSZIAA Completion Payment will remain unchanged at $3.50. The CSZIAA Instalment Warrants will commence trading ex-demerger on 31 March 2003. In addition, the CSZIAA Instalment Warrants will trade on a deferred settlement basis from 31 March 2003 until close of business on 22 April 2003 Defined terms used in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Offering Circular dated 10 May 2001.
