Cautionary note relating to compliance with Australian
regulatory requirements
Nothing contained on this announcement constitutes a prospectus or
disclosure document under Chapter 6D of the Corporations Act 2001
(Cth) and does not purport to include the information required of a
prospectus or other disclosure document under Chapter 6D of the
Corporations Act 2001.
The UK Prospectus includes information that complies with, and is
presented in accordance with, the requirements of UK law. The
presentation of this information may not be consistent with
Australian law and regulation. Reserves and resources remaining are
estimates that can vary based on the competent person deriving the
estimate and the basis assumed. The reserves and resources
information included in the UK Prospectus has been extracted from
the Competent Person’s Report prepared by Gaffney Cline &

Woodside shareholders and investors must exercise caution when
reviewing the UK Prospectus, particularly in areas where regulatory
requirements differ.
The information, and any other document issued by Woodside in
connection with Admission, contains general information only and
does not take account of the investment objectives, financial
situation or particular needs of any person, and does not contain
any securities recommendations or financial product advice. Before
making an investment decision, investors need to consider whether
the information in this document, and any other document issued by
Woodside in connection with the Admission, is appropriate to their
needs, objectives and circumstances, and, if necessary, seek expert
advice on those matters.
