Dear Sir

Appendix 3B – Issue of Securities under the Charter Hall Executive Loan Security Plan

The attached Appendix 3B relates to the issue of securities under the Charter Hall Executive Loan Security Plan (ELSP) dated 3 June 2005. Under the ELSP, securities vest to executives over a period of 3 years after the satisfaction of performance and service conditions. The ELSP issue price is $1.04 being the 5 day Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) up to and including 30 June 2008.

Under the ELSP participants are offered limited recourse loans to acquire securities under the plan with interest charged at the CHC distribution yield.

The attached ELSP issue excludes the issue of securities to the three Executive Directors namely Cedric Fuchs, David Harrison and David Southon.

Subject to securityholder approval the Charter Hall Group Board resolved to allot 14,711,536 securities under the ELSP to the three Executive Directors, also at a price of $1.04. These securities will not be issued unless and until they are approved by securityholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting. In addition, the Board approved the grant of Performance Rights in the total amount of 858,173 securities to the 3 Executive Directors, subject to the approval by securityholders at the 2008 AGM. These Performance Rights also vest over a 3 year period and are subject to the same performance and service conditions as the ELSP.

The ELSP is a long term incentive plan aimed at creating a stronger link between executive performance and reward and increasing securityholder value by enabling plan participants to have a greater involvement with, and share in, the future growth and profitability of the Group.

The Board approved the ELSP allocation based on the recommendations of its Remuneration Committee who engaged an external remuneration consultant to ensure that the design of the plan, and the offers to Executives and the Executive Directors, is market competitive and complimentary to the reward strategy of the Group.

Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned if you require further information.

Yours faithfully
