The line graph below compares the annual percentage change in Amcor plc's cumulative total shareholder return on its ordinary shares with the cumulative total return of its Peer Group, International Packaging Peer Group, the S&P 500 Index, and the ASX 200 Index for the period beginning June 11, 2019. The graph assumes $100 was invested on June 11, 2019, and that all dividends were reinvested. The Company has elected to change the composition of the presented peer group from the International Packaging Peer Group to a new Peer Group, the composition of which is detailed later in this section. The Company believes that the new Peer Group provides investors with more relevant information about the Company's total shareholder return and relative performance against comparable companies both in Australia and internationally. As of June 30, 2022, the Company presents a transition total shareholder return graph that incorporates both Peer Group and International Packaging Peer Group.
