2012 DEXUS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Security holders with information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Defined terms have the meaning attributed to them in the glossary. All monetary amounts (unless otherwise stated) are expressed in Australian dollars.

1 Adoption of the Remuneration Report

The purpose of Resolution 1 is to adopt the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012. The Remuneration Report is contained in section 3 of the Directors’ Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 commencing on page 4 of DEXUS Property Group’s 2012 Annual Report. Under the Corporations Act, a listed company is required at its Annual General Meeting to put a vote to its share holders to approve its Remuneration Report. Consistent with its corporate governance framework, the Board of DXFM has determined that DEXUS Property Group will be subject to this obligation even though it is a listed stapled group comprising real estate investment trusts. The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or DXFM. However, if more than 25% of votes validly cast on Resolution 1 are cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report then Resolution 2 will be put to the Meeting. See the explanation of Resolution 2 below.

During the meeting there will be an opportunity for Security holders to comment upon, and ask questions about, the Remuneration Report. Resolution 1 will be decided by poll. Resolution 1 must be decided by at least 50% of the votes cast at the Meeting by Security holders entitled to vote on the Resolution. The Board unanimously recommends that Security holders adopt the Remuneration Report.

Voting Exclusions

Consistent with DEXUS’s corporate governance framework, a vote must not be cast (in any capacity) on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of a member of DEXUS’s KMP and their closely related parties.

However, a vote may be cast on Resolution 1 by a KMP if:

  • (a) the vote is cast as a proxy and the proxy appointment is in writing and specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1; and

  • (b) the vote is not cast on behalf of a KMP or a closely related party of a KMP.

In accordance with the instructions on the Proxy Form, if the Chair is your proxy and you do not direct the Chair on how to vote in respect of Resolution 1, you will be taken to have directed the Chair to vote in favour of Resolution 1.

2 Spill Resolution

IMPORTANT NOTE: In accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act, this resolution will only be put to the meeting if more than 25% of votes validly cast are cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report (Resolution 1).

The Corporations Act requires that if more than 25% of votes are cast against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, then a resolution must be put to Security holders at the second Annual General Meeting substantially in the form of Resolution 2.

At the Annual General Meeting held last year more than 25% of the votes validly cast were against the adoption of the Remuneration Report presented at that meeting. Accordingly, if at this AGM more than 25% of votes validly cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report, then Resolution 2 will be put to the meeting.

If this Resolution is put to the Meeting and is passed, then:

  • (a) a meeting of Security holders will be held within 90 days of this AGM (“ Spill Meeting ”);

  • (b) all of the current members of the Board other than Darren Steinberg (or any replacement executive director who may, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected) will vacate their offices immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting; and

  • (c) at the Spill Meeting, resolutions will be voted on to elect individuals to the vacated offices.

If all of the current Directors (other than Darren Steinberg or any replacement executive director who may, in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules, continue to hold office indefinitely without being re-elected) cease to be Directors prior to the Spill Meeting, the meeting need not be held.

Voting Exclusions

Consistent with DEXUS’s corporate governance framework, a vote must not be cast (in any capacity) on Resolution 2 by or on behalf of any of DEXUS’s KMP and their closely related parties.

However, a vote may be cast on Resolution 2 by a KMP if:

  • (a) the vote is cast as a proxy and the proxy appointment is in writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 2; and

  • (b) the vote is not cast on behalf of a KMP or a closely related party of a KMP.

In accordance with the instructions on your Proxy Form, if the Chair is your proxy and you do not direct the Chair how to vote in respect of Resolution 2, you will be taken to have directed the Chair to vote in favour of Resolution 2.

4

2012 DEXUS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

3 Approval of the new employee incentive plans

Resolutions 3.1 and 3.2 seek Security holder approval for three new employee incentive plans to be called:

  • (a) the DEXUS Transitional Performance Rights Plan (“ Transitional Plan ”);

  • (b) the DEXUS Short Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan (“ STI Rights Plan ”); and

  • (c) the DEXUS Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan (“ LTI Rights Plan ”),

(together the “ Plans ” and each a “ Plan ”).

Resolution 3.1 seeks approval of the Transitional Plan.

If Resolution 3.1 is approved, DEXUS proposes to make a one-off grant under the Transitional Plan in 2012, on the terms described in Section C. It is not proposed that any further grants will be made under the Transitional Plan and from 2013 onwards it will be replaced by the STI Rights Plan and LTI Rights Plan.

Resolution 3.2 seeks approval of the STI Rights Plan and LTI Rights Plan. If Resolution 3.2 is approved, DEXUS proposes to make grants under the STI Rights Plan from 2013 onwards. The 2013 grants are proposed to be made on the terms described in Sections D and E.

  • n New STI and LTI Rights Plans – A new short term incentive plan, a component of which will be the STI Rights Plan, and a new long term incentive plan, in the form of the LTI Rights Plan will be adopted. It is proposed that the STI Rights Plan and the LTI Rights Plan will commence operation in 2013 with first grants in August 2013.

  • n Transitional Plan – For the 2012 financial year the Chief Executive Officer and direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer (“ Key Executives ”) have agreed to accept that portion of their remuneration which they would have previously received as a cash payment under the DDPP awards in the form of performance rights under the Transitional Plan (which is on the same terms as the STI Rights Plan). The Transitional Plan will only be offered to these Key Executives and only in 2012 following which the Transitional Plan will become a legacy plan. Executives other than the Key Executives continued to receive performance pay in accordance with the DDPP for the 2012 financial year.

For more detailed information in relation to the new executive remuneration arrangements please see the Remuneration Report in the DEXUS Property Group 2012 combined financial statements released to the ASX on 16 August 2012.

B Rules of the Plans

A Background

Following a vote against the adoption of the 2011 Remuneration Report, we have made significant changes to the executive remuneration arrangements effective from 1 July 2012.

These changes resulted from extensive consultations with and feedback obtained from Security holders, proxy advisors and remuneration advisors following last year’s AGM. The Chair of the Board met personally with 14 of our institutional Security holders during March and April of this year.

The Group has undertaken a significant restructure of the executive incentive plans so that they are more transparent, better understood and, most importantly, offer closer alignment of reward outcomes to Security holder interests. This has involved the explicit inclusion of Security holder return performance hurdles within the LTI Rights Plan.

A summary of the principal terms of the rules of each of the Plans are set out in Annexure A to this Notice of Meeting. The rules of each of the Plans are identical other than in respect of the minimum holding period as described in item 7 of Annexure A. The rules of each of the Plans provide for flexibility as to the terms on which performance rights are offered and while the rules are identical the proposed terms of the performance rights to be granted under the Plans are different. A grant of performance rights under any of the Plans is subject to both the rules of the Plan and the terms of the specific invitation made to the participant. The proposed terms of the performance rights to be granted under each of the Plans are described in Sections C, D and E.

As previously announced by the Group, several key changes have been approved by the Board in respect of executive incentive plans. These changes include:

  • n Winding up of DDPP – As a result of the review, the Board concluded that the DEXUS Deferred Performance Payment awards (“ DDPP ”) should be wound up and replaced with incentive plans which offer greater alignment to Security holder interests. The DDPP will be replaced from 1 July 2012 and no new DDPP awards will be made with respect to performance after that date. The Board has also foreshadowed that it intends to exercise its discretion not to apply the DDPP outperformance multiplier on awards already granted but not yet vested (for 2010, 2011 and 2012).

2012 DEXUS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

C 2012 Offers under the Transitional Plan

It is proposed that a one-off grant of performance rights will be made under the Transitional Plan in 2012. The following is a summary of the key terms of the proposed 2012 grant. It is not proposed that there will be any further grants under the Transitional Plan.

Participants Key Executives (being direct reports to the CEO)
Purpose A one-off grant of performance rights as the Group moves towards full adoption of the new remuneration framework
on 1 July 2013. Performance rights granted under the Transitional Plan will represent rights to acquire Securities for
no payment subject to service and clawback provisions.
The participants would normally have been eligible in 2012 to receive a cash payment under a DDPP award with full
benefits available under the terms of that award. However, participants have voluntarily adopted important elements
of the new remuneration framework by forgoing a DDPP award and accepting the early adoption of direct equity
ownership and deferral offered under the Transitional Plan.
Allocation of Based on performance assessed against agreed 2012 key performance indicators (“KPIs”), the Nomination,
Performance Remuneration & Governance Committee has recommended to the Board a remuneration outcome for each participant
Rights expressed as a dollar value.
The dollar value will be the equivalent of what the participant would have received under the DDPP and existing target
remuneration mix.
If the Transitional Plan is approved by Security holders, the dollar value will be converted into performance rights using
the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Securities for the period 10 days either side of 30 June 2012.
Award and Participants will be granted performance rights using a deemed issue date of 1 July 2012.
Vesting The performance rights will vest on 1 July 2015 subject to the conditions described below.
The Board has discretion to bring forward the vesting or lapse of all or part of any unvested performance rights in
circumstances such as the participant’s death or cessation of employment (see below), or a takeover bid, change
in control, restructuring compromise or arrangement, winding up or delisting of DEXUS.
Upon vesting, Securities will be delivered or allocated to the participant automatically and participants will need to
observe all prevailing policies or procedures with respect to holding equity or trading in Securities as an employee.
The Board may determine that Securities delivered or allocated are not able to be dealt with until the expiry of a
further restriction period which may last for up to seven years following the initial grant of the performance rights.
Conditions Vesting under the Transitional Plan is subject to the following conditions:
n Clawback– performance rights may be reduced or cancelled at the Board’s discretion including in circumstances
such as a participant committing an act of fraud, wilful misconduct, serious or wilful negligence or incompetence,
being convicted of a criminal offence or if there has been a material misstatement of the Group’s financial accounts
as a consequence of a deliberate misrepresentation or fraud.
n Service– where a participant ceases to be employed by the Group, all unvested performance rights will lapse unless
the Board at its discretion determines otherwise. If the participant is a “good leaver”, the Board may, in its discretion,
determine that the participant’s unvested performance rights are to become vested rights at that time or are to remain
in the plan as if the participant remained an employee. The Board may exercise these discretions at any time during
the life of a performance right (upon a participant becoming a “good leaver”). However, if the participant becomes a
“good leaver” within six months of the issue date of a performance right (or if a post-vesting restriction period
applies, 12 months of the issue date), the Board will only exercise these discretions in exceptional circumstances.
Distributions Participants will be entitled to the benefit of distributions paid on the Securities to which their performance rights
relate prior to those performance rights vesting through the issue of additional performance rights immediately prior
to their vesting.

6 2012 DEXUS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

D 2013 Offer under the STI Rights Plan

It is proposed that an initial offer will be made in 2013 to participants under the STI Rights Plan. There will be no offer under the STI Rights Plan in 2012. The following is a summary of the key terms of the proposed 2013 offer. It is envisaged that offers will be made under the STI Rights Plan on an annual basis from 2013. Future offers under the STI Rights Plan may be made on different terms to those that will apply to the proposed 2013 offer.

Participants Participants will be those executives categorised as General Manager or above in seniority.
Purpose The STI Rights Plan is a component of the new Short Term Incentive Plan. For more information in relation to the
Short Term Incentive Plan see page 57 of the 2012 Remuneration Report.
The Short Term Incentive Plan will provide an annual performance-based award similar to that under the existing
DEXUS Performance Payment (“DPP”) based on a balanced scorecard of key performance indicators (KPIs) set
at stretch.
Only 75% of any short term incentive award to be granted under the Short Term Incentive Plan (“STI award”) will
be immediately payable in cash. The remaining 25% of all STI awards will be deferred into performance rights to
be granted under the STI Rights Plan.
Allocations Participants have the ability to earn an annual STI award expressed as a percentage of their fixed remuneration,
of which 25% will be granted as performance rights.
The amount of any award will be determined by reference to a participant’s annual performance, measured against
pre-agreed weighted financial and non-financial KPIs (i.e. balanced scorecard).
Failure to meet the threshold performance will result in a zero STI award for that performance component. To achieve
the target STI award, participants must meet pre-agreed business and individual KPIs set at stretch. To achieve the
maximum STI, participants must achieve exceptional business and individual performance outcomes.
The number of performance rights awarded to each participant will be equal to 25% of their overall STI award divided
by the VWAP of Securities 10 trading days either side of the first trading day of the new financial year.
Award and Participants will not be required to make any payment in connection with either the issue or exercise of
vesting performance rights.
Performance rights under the STI Rights Plan will be issued to participants in August of the financial year
immediately following the performance period, following the sign-off of statutory accounts and announcement of the
Group’s annual results.
The performance rights will vest in equal tranches 12 and 24 months after they are issued subject to the conditions
described below.
The Board has discretion to bring forward the vesting or lapse of all or part of any unvested performance rights in
circumstances such as the participant’s death or cessation of employment (see below), or a takeover bid, change
in control, restructuring compromise or arrangement, winding up or delisting of DEXUS.
Upon vesting, Securities will be delivered or allocated to the participant automatically and participants will need to
observe all prevailing policies or procedures with respect to holding equity or trading in Securities as an employee.
The Board may determine that Securities delivered or allocated are not able to be dealt with until the expiry of a further
restriction period which may last for up to seven years following the initial grant of the performance rights.
Conditions Vesting under the STI Rights Plan is subject to the following conditions:
n Clawback– performance rights may be reduced or cancelled at the Board’s discretion including in circumstances
such as a participant committing an act of fraud, wilful misconduct, serious or wilful negligence or incompetence,
being convicted of a criminal offence or if there has been a material misstatement of the Group’s financial accounts
as a consequence of a deliberate misrepresentation or fraud.
n Service– where a participant ceases to be employed by the Group, all unvested performance rights will lapse unless
the Board at its discretion determines otherwise. If the participant is a “good leaver”, the Board may, in its discretion,
determine that the participant’s unvested performance rights are to become vested rights at that time or are to remain
in the plan as if the participant remained an employee. The Board may exercise these discretions at any time during
the life of a performance right (upon a participant becoming a “good leaver”). However, if the participant becomes a
“good leaver” within six months of the issue date of a performance right (or if a post-vesting restriction period
applies, 12 months of the issue date), the Board will only exercise these discretions in exceptional circumstances.
Distributions Participants will be entitled to the benefit of distributions paid on the Securities to which their performance rights
relate prior to those performance rights vesting through the issue of additional performance rights immediately prior
to their vesting.

E 2013 Offer under the LTI Rights Plan

It is proposed that an initial offer will be made in 2013 to participants under the LTI Rights Plan. There will be no offer under the LTI Rights Plan in 2012. The following is a summary of the key terms of the proposed 2013 offer. It is envisaged that offers will be made under the LTI Rights Plan on an annual basis from 2013. Future offers under the LTI Rights Plan may be made on different terms to those that will apply to the proposed 2013 offer.

Eligibility
Participants will be senior executives determined by the Nomination Remuneration and Governance Committee and
approved by the Board.
Eligibility
Participants will be senior executives determined by the Nomination Remuneration and Governance Committee and
approved by the Board.
Eligibility
Participants will be senior executives determined by the Nomination Remuneration and Governance Committee and
approved by the Board.
Purpose
The LTI Rights Plan offers participants the potential to be rewarded for the long-term financial performance of
the Group.
The LTI Rights Plan will act as a key motivational and retention mechanism and aligns the long-term interests of
participants with those of investors. Under the LTI Rights Plan, the Board will set performance conditions which
are required to be met before any reward is realised by the participant.
Allocations
Participants have the potential to receive an LTI grant under the LTI Rights Plan, expressed as a percentage of their
fixed remuneration.
Participants will be allocated performance rights based on the approved proportion of their fixed remuneration,
divided by the VWAP of Securities for the period ten trading days either side of the date they are taken to be issued.
The allocation and quantum of LTI grants available to a limited number of senior executives will be determined by the
Board based on the new remuneration structure. Refer to the 2012 Remuneration Report for more detail.
Award and
vesting
Participants will not be required to make any payment in connection with either the issue or exercise of
performance rights.
Performance rights under the LTI Rights Plan will vest in six tranches. Three tranches will vest three years after
the performance rights are issued and three tranches will vest four years after the performance rights are issued.
Performance rights that meet the performance conditions applicable in any tranche will vest. Performance rights that
fail to meet the performance conditions in any tranche are permanently forfeited, with no re-testing in subsequent
years available.
The Board has discretion to bring forward the vesting or to lapse all or part of any unvested performance rights in
circumstances such as the participant’s death or cessation of employment (see below), or a takeover bid, change
in control, restructuring compromise or arrangement, winding up or delisting of DEXUS.
Upon vesting, Securities will be delivered or allocated to participants automatically and participants will need to
observe all prevailing policies or procedures with respect to holding equity or trading in Securities as an employee.
The Board may determine that Securities delivered or allocated are not able to be dealt with until the expiry of a further
restriction period which may last for up to seven years following the initial grant of the performance rights.

participant becomes a “good leaver” within 12 months of the issue date of a performance right, the Board will only
exercise these discretions in exceptional circumstances.
Distributions Unlike under the Transitional Plan and STI Rights Plan, there is no entitlement to distributions or equivalent benefits
with respect to the LTI Rights Plan performance rights during the vesting period.

2012 DEXUS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

F Security holder approval

The adoption of the new Plans is conditional on Security holder approval. DEXUS advised Security holders in its 2012 Remuneration Report that it would obtain Security holder approval for the introduction of the Plans. If Security holder approval is not obtained for a particular Plan, that Plan will not be adopted and no grants will be made under that Plan. If Security holder approval of the Transitional Plan is not obtained, the relevant executives will instead receive a cash payment under the DDPP award.

Security holders, should note, that DEXUS will not issue any new Securities in connection with any performance rights granted to participants under the 2012 and 2013 grants described in Sections C, D and E. This is because the Board has determined that in respect of the vesting of any performance rights for those grants, DEXUS will satisfy its obligations to participants by delivering Securities that have been acquired on-market.

G Voting Exclusions

Consistent with DEXUS’s corporate governance framework, a vote must not be cast on Resolutions 3.1 or 3.2 by a member of DEXUS’ KMP or a closely related party, acting as proxy, if the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the Resolution. However, this voting exclusion does not apply if the member of DEXUS’s KMP is the Chair of the Meeting acting as proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even though that Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP of the Group.

The Group will also disregard any votes cast on Resolutions 3.1 or 3.2 by any Director of DXFM employed within the Group (except one who is ineligible to participate in any employee incentive scheme in relation to the Group) and any associate of those persons.

However, the Group need not disregard a vote if:

  • (a) it is cast by a person referred to above as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • (b) it is cast by the person chairing the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

H Recommendation

The directors, excluding Darren Steinberg who is the only director of DXFM entitled to participate in the Plans, believe that the Plans represent appropriate equity based incentive schemes for DEXUS. Accordingly, those directors unanimously recommend that Security holders vote in favour of Resolutions 3.1 and 3.2. Given his personal interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3.1 and 3.2, Darren Steinberg has refrained from providing a recommendation in connection with these resolutions.

4 Grant of Performance Rights to the Executive Director under the Transitional Plan

Resolution 4 seeks Security holder approval for the grant of performance rights to Darren Steinberg, the Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director of DEXUS Funds Management Limited under the Transitional Plan.

A Background to Darren Steinberg’s participation in the Transitional Plan

Under Resolution 3.1, Security holder approval is being sought for the approval of the DEXUS Transitional Plan. If Resolution 3.1 is not approved no Performance Rights will be issued to Darren Steinberg under the Transitional Plan irrespective of whether or not this Resolution 4 is approved.

As stated in the Background section to Section 3 above, for the 2012 financial year the Key Executives, including the CEO, have agreed to accept that portion of their remuneration which they would have previously received as a cash payment under DDPP awards in the form of performance rights under a new Transitional Plan.

Security holder approval is now sought to grant 453,417 performance rights under the Transitional Plan to Darren Steinberg, and the acquisition of Securities on the vesting of those performance rights.

It is proposed that Darren Steinberg will receive a grant of performance rights under the STI Rights Plan and LTI Rights Plan in 2013. Approval for the grant of those performance rights will be sought at the 2013 Annual General Meeting.

B Level of participation

Darren Steinberg’s award under the Transitional Plan was determined by the Board based on his performance against a balanced scorecard of financial and non-financial KPIs in place for FY12, and the target remuneration mix for the CEO under the previous executive remuneration structure. The award was reflective of Darren Steinberg’s part-year service in FY12 and pro-rated accordingly, resulting in a proposed grant value of $420,000. This equates to 453,417 performance rights when applying the VWAP (0.9263c) for Securities ten trading days either side of 1 July 2012.

On vesting, each performance right entitles Darren Steinberg to one Security at no cost to him. The Securities to be received by Darren Steinberg will be acquired by on-market purchase.

Performance rights do not entitle Darren Steinberg to any cash distributions or voting rights. However, Darren Steinberg will be entitled to the benefit of distributions paid on the Securities to which his performance rights relate prior to those performance rights vesting through the issue of additional performance rights immediately prior to their vesting.

10 2012 DEXUS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

If the grant of performance rights to Darren Steinberg is approved, it is expected that the performance rights will be granted as soon as practicable after the Meeting, and no later than 31 December 2012.

No performance rights have been granted under the Transitional Plan as yet.

No other director of DXFM is entitled to participate in the Transitional Plan.

Details of Darren Steinberg’s remuneration for the 2012 financial year are set out in the 2012 DEXUS Remuneration Report.

C Basis of participation

Darren Steinberg’s participation in the Transitional Plan, and the performance rights granted to Darren Steinberg under the Transitional Plan, will be on the same terms as the participation of the other Key Executives as described in Section 3 C 2012 Offers under the Transitional Plan . This includes the conditions for vesting and for early lapse and clawback.

In the event that Darren Steinberg’s performance rights vest early upon the termination of his employment, the value of the benefit he may receive for the purposes of the retirement benefit provisions of the Corporations Act, will be affected by the number of performance rights vesting and the value of the Securities at the date of vesting.

In determining the number of performance rights that vest upon the termination of Darren Steinberg’s employment, the Board in its absolute discretion will consider a range of matters which may include Darren Steinberg’s performance, the reasons for his termination and DEXUS’s performance during Darren Steinberg’s tenure.

No loan will be provided to Darren Steinberg in relation to the grant of the performance rights or in relation to the delivery of Securities on the vesting of the performance rights.

E Voting exclusions

Consistent with DEXUS’s corporate governance framework, a vote must not be cast on Resolution 4 by a member of DEXUS’ KMP or a closely related party, acting as proxy, if the appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 4. However, this voting exclusion does not apply if the member of DEXUS’s KMP is the Chair of the Meeting acting as proxy and their appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise the proxy even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP of the Group.

As required by the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, the Group will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 4 by any director of DXFM employed within the Group (except one who is ineligible to participate in any employee incentive scheme in relation to the Group) and any associate of those persons.

However, the Group need not disregard a vote if:

  • (a) it is cast by a person referred to above as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or

  • (b) it is cast by the person chairing the Meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.

F Recommendation

The Directors, excluding Darren Steinberg, believe that participation in the Transitional Plan on the terms and conditions described above is an appropriate equity based incentive scheme for Darren Steinberg. Accordingly, the directors, other than Darren Steinberg, unanimously recommend that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 4. Given his personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, Darren Steinberg has refrained from providing a recommendation in connection with the resolution.

D Security holder approval

The adoption of the new Plans and the grant of performance rights to Darren Steinberg under the Transitional Plan is conditional on Security holder approval. If Security holder approval of the grant to Darren Steinberg is not obtained, then no grant will be made to Darren Steinberg under the Transitional Plan and he will instead receive a cash payment under the DDPP award.

Approval of the grant of performance rights under the Transitional Plan to Darren Steinberg, as a director of DEXUS Funds Management Limited, is being sought for all purposes in accordance with the statements to Security holders in the 2012 Remuneration Report and in respect of the ASX Listing Rules.

Approval of Security holders is sought for the purpose of Listing Rule 10.14 to enable DEXUS to make grants of performance rights to Darren Steinberg under the Transitional Plan.

Security holders, should note, that in accordance with the Board’s determination, Darren Steinberg will not be entitled to have any new Securities issued to him in connection with any performance rights he is granted in 2012 or 2013.

2012 DEXUS NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 13

ANNEXURE A

Summary of the rules of the Transitional Plan, the STI Rights Plan and the LTI Rights Plan

As set out in Sections 3 and 4 of the Explanatory Memorandum, the Board proposes to adopt three new employee incentive plans:

  • (a) the DEXUS Transitional Performance Rights Plan (“ Transitional Plan ”);

  • (b) the DEXUS Short Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan (“ STI Rights Plan ”); and

  • (c) the DEXUS Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan (“ LTI Rights Plan ”),

(together the “ Plans ” and each a “ Plan ”).

The rules of each of the Plans set out the general terms of the Plan (“ Plan Rules ”). A grant of performance rights under any of the Plans is subject to both the rules of the Plan and the terms of the specific grant.

The rules of each of the Plans are identical other than in respect of the minimum holding period as described in the last paragraph of item 7 below.

The Board is responsible for administering the Plans in accordance with the Plan Rules and the terms and conditions of the specific grants to participants in the Plan. Each of the Plan Rules include the following provisions:

  • 1 The Board may in its absolute discretion determine which eligible persons will be offered the opportunity to participate in the Plan.

  • 2 An application to participate in the Plan will not be accepted if, at the time of the application the invitee:

  • 2.1 is not an employee of the Group;

  • 2.2 has given notice of his or her resignation to the Group; or

  • 2.3 has been given notice of termination of employment with the Group.

  • 3 The Board may make the vesting of any performance rights granted under the Plan subject to the satisfaction of vesting or performance conditions.

  • 4 Performance Rights granted under the Plan will be granted by DXH and represent a right against DXH to have a Security delivered to the performance right holder on vesting, subject to the terms and conditions of the grant including the Plan Rules.

  • 5 Upon the Board determining that a performance right vests, which will ordinarily occur on the vesting date set out in the terms of the specific grant subject to the satisfaction of any applicable vesting conditions, the performance right immediately vests and DXH must procure the issue, transfer or allocation of a Security to the participant. Ordinarily, if the vesting conditions are not satisfied on the vesting date, the performance rights will lapse.

  • 6 Subject to the terms of a Participant’s invitation including whether the award is an award under the STI Rights Plan or the LTI Rights Plan, they may be entitled to receive benefits equivalent to the distributions paid on the Securities to which their performance rights relate through the issue of additional performance rights all of which will vest at the same time.

  • 7 The Board may, in its discretion:

  • 7.1 bring forward the vesting of all or part of any unvested performance rights, including in circumstances such as the participant’s death or cessation of employment, a takeover bid, change in control, reorganisation, winding up or delisting of DEXUS;

  • 7.2 clawback and automatically lapse of all or part of any unvested performance rights, including in circumstances such as the participant’s cessation of employment, wilful breach of duty, conviction of a criminal offence or bankruptcy, or a change of control or reorganisation of DEXUS; or

  • 7.3 determine that the performance rights will not lapse or vest in the circumstances set out above but will remain outstanding as if the participant remained an employee;

however, the Board will not exercise its discretion to vest or lapse performance rights if the minimum holding period has not passed, other than in exceptional circumstances. The minimum holding period under the LTI Rights Plan is 12 months from the date of issue of the performance rights. Under the Transitional Plan and the STI Rights Plan, the minimum holding period is six months from the date of issue of the performance rights unless a restriction period applies (see item 12 below) in which case the minimum holding period is 12 months from the date of issue of the performance rights.

  • 8 In addition to the circumstances described in item 7.2 above, the Board may also determine that any or all performance rights of a participant will be clawed back and will lapse if there has been a material misstatement of DEXUS’s financial accounts as a consequence of a deliberate misrepresentation or fraud.

  • 9 DXH may satisfy its obligation to deliver Securities to participants on vesting of their performance rights by procuring an issue of new Securities by DXFM or a transfer of Securities to the participant or alternatively by having an employee trust acquire Securities and allocate them to the participant.

  • 10 A participant may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, or grant a security interest over, performance rights. Performance rights lapse immediately on any purported sale, assignment, transfer, dealing or grant of security interest unless the Board determines otherwise.

  • 11 A participant is prohibited from entering into any arrangement to hedge or otherwise affect their economic exposure to their performance rights.

  • 12 If a restriction period applies to Securities acquired on the vesting of performance rights, the Board may implement procedures to enforce the restrictions (including imposing a holding lock on the Securities).

  • 13 In the event of any capital raising or reconstruction by DEXUS (including bonus issues, other pro rata issues or reorganisation), a participant’s performance rights, and the Securities allocated to the participant on vesting of the performance rights, may be adjusted, as set out in the Plan Rules. In general, it is intended that the participant will not receive any advantage or disadvantage from such an adjustment not received by Security holders.
