(Reuters) – Australia and New Zealand Banking Group said on Thursday its shareholders voted to establish a new holding company to separate its banking and non-banking businesses into two different groups.

The lender said 99.17% of votes were cast in favor of creating ANZ Group Holdings Limited, the non-operating holding company.
