Changes to 2019 Interim Dividend Payment Date

Westpac has announced that its interim dividend payment is expected to be made on 24 June 2019. This represents a change from the previously announced date of 3 July 2019.

This change has no impact on the 2019 interim dividend record date (17 May 2019) or the New York record date (16 May 2019). There is also no change to the final dividend payment date. We expect the interim dividend to be paid at a similar date in future years.

The payment dates for the distributions and interest payments on Westpac's other listed securities have not changed.
