Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 1 - Re-election of Independent Director

On 24 November 2011, the Board of CHRML announced the results of a corporate governance and fee review undertaken by the Independent Directors with the assistance from Ernst & Young (see the ASX announcement dated 24 November 2011) ( the E&Y Review ). The Directors of CHRML have adopted all of the corporate governance recommendations in the E&Y Review, including that a term limit of three years with a maximum of four terms, be introduced for independent directors of CHRML (to be implemented on a rolling basis with one independent director being considered for re-appointment every year) and that the Unitholders be asked to ratify any such appointment by a nonbinding vote.

Mr Roger Davis was appointed as a Director of CHRML on 7 June 2018, and this would constitute Mr Davis’ first term of office as a Director of CHRML.

Under CHRML’s Constitution, only the Directors of CHRML or the shareholders of CHRML may appoint a Director of CHRML. While the Unitholders are being asked to vote in relation to the ratification of the appointment of Mr Davis as a Director of CHRML,

Unitholders should note that this resolution is advisory only and is non-binding on CHRML, its shareholders or the Directors. The Directors do, however, intend to give due consideration to the results of this resolution to determine the composition of the Board.

Mr Davis’s biography is set out below:

Mr Roger Davis – Independent Director and Chair

Mr Davis was appointed to the Board of the responsible entity for the Charter Hall Retail REIT on 7 June 2018 as an Independent Non-Executive Director and has been the Chair since 13 November 2018.

Mr Davis has over 35 years’ experience in banking and investment banking in Australia, the US and Japan. He is currently a Consulting Director at Rothschild (Australia) Limited, a Director of Argo Investments Limited, and the Chair of AIG Australia Limited.

In his career as a senior executive, Mr Davis was a Managing Director at Citigroup, where he worked for over 20 years in Australia, Japan and the US. More recently, he was a Group Managing Director at ANZ Banking Group responsible for all the Commercial, Investment and Institutional Banking activities.

Mr Davis has a Bachelor of Economics (Hons) from the University of Sydney and a Master of Philosophy from Oxford. He is also a qualified CPA.

Board recommendation

In recommending Mr Davis’ re-election, the Board took into account Mr Davis’s skills and experience in property and funds management, listed company governance and the contributions Mr Davis makes as Chair.

The Board believes that Mr Davis has retained his independence of character and judgement and continues to bring invaluable experience and expertise to the Board.

The Directors (other than Mr Roger Davis) recommend the ratification by the Unitholders of the appointment of Mr Roger Davis as a Director of CHRML.
