DEXUS Funds Management Limited (ABN 24 060 920 783) (“ DEXUS ”), in its capacity as responsible entity of the DEXUS Property Group, announces today that its Share Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) will open on 7 January 2009.

The SPP was foreshadowed in our announcement on 3 December 2008. Draft terms were released to the market on 18 December 2008 (“ Draft Terms ”).

Securityholders who take up this offer, will receive DEXUS Stapled Securities at $0.732 (“ Proposed Issue Price ”) per Stapled Security provided that that price is above the Ceiling Price or below the Floor Price where:

  • Floor Price means a price equal to 80% of the VWAP Price.

If the Proposed Issue Price is above the Ceiling Price, then the issue price will be a 5% discount to the VWAP Price (that is, the Ceiling Price).

If the Proposed Issue Price is below the Floor Price, then the issue price will be a 20% discount to the VWAP Price (that is, the Floor Price).

The maximum value of Stapled Securities that each eligible Securityholder can apply for under the SPP is $10,000[1] .

The SPP opens on 7 January 2009 and closes on 3 February 2009. The offer is open only to resident Australian and New Zealand Securityholders who held Stapled Securities on the record date of 18 December 2008.

Dear Security Holder

Security Purchase Plan - Eligible Security Holders may purchase parcels of Securities up to a value of $10,000.

On behalf of the Directors of DEXUS Funds Management Limited, the Responsible Entity for DEXUS Property Group ( “DEXUS” ), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to increase your investment in DEXUS through a Security Purchase Plan (the “Plan” ).

Recently, DEXUS has initiated several initiatives to build its strong financial position, these include:

  • new debt facilities have been secured to refinance all debt maturities to February 2010;

  • a revised distribution policy announced at the Annual General Meeting with amounts to be set aside to fund ongoing investment in the Group’s existing property portfolios;

  • our development activity has been de-risked through significant leasing pre-commitments;

  • asset disposals being pursued, including Whitford City Shopping Centre to be sold over next two years;

  • an Institutional Placement of 391.7 million Securities at $0.77 per Security raising approximately $301.6 million was completed on 4 December 2008 (“ Placement ”); and

  • a Security Purchase Plan (“ SPP ”) is now being offered to Australian and New Zealand retail Security Holders at $0.732 per Security being the issue price of Securities under the Placement less the distribution for the half year ended 31 December 2008 (provided certain conditions are met) and is expected to raise approximately $15-20 million.

With these initiatives, DEXUS has funding in place to refinance all debt expiries through until February 2010 and the capacity to fund its committed development pipeline through to June 2011.

Following the Placement, the Group’s pro forma gearing is 34%. DEXUS is substantially within its gearing covenant and maintains its BBB+ / Stable Standard & Poor’s credit rating which was reaffirmed on 20 November 2008.

==> picture [120 x 95] intentionally omitted <==

Earnings outlook post the capital raising:

  • 2009 Financial Year Earnings (FFO) guidance of 10.8 cents per security which is consistent with the Annual General Meeting guidance adjusted for the capital raising; and

  • 2009 Financial Year Distribution guidance of 7.6 cents per security.

DEXUS is committed to continuing to apply a prudent, pro-active approach to maintaining its sound financial position.

The offer

The Plan is offered exclusively to all Eligible Security Holders, being registered holders as at 7pm on 18 December 2008 (“ Record Date ”) with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand. Excluded Holders (as defined in the terms) will not be invited to participate in the Plan.

The Plan provides Eligible Security Holders with an opportunity to buy a parcel of new Securities in DEXUS valued at $2,000, $4,000, $6,000, $8,000, $10,000 or the nominated amount of up to $10,000.

Subject to the adjustment outlined below, the issue price of Securities under the SPP will be $0.732 (“ Adjusted Placement Price ”). The issue price is equal to the price of Securities under the Placement less the distribution for the half year ended 31 December 2008 of 3.8 cents as announced on 18 December 2008. This is to ensure that, as far as possible, all Security Holders can participate in the DEXUS capital raising on similar terms to the recent Placement without disclosure.

The issue price is subject to adjustment to ensure that:

  • the SPP complies with relevant ASIC class order relief; and

  • the issue of securities under the SPP does not impact upon DEXUS’s placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules.

The Adjusted Placement Price will be adjusted if it is above the Ceiling Price or below the Floor Price where:

  • (a) Ceiling Price means a price equal to 95% of the 5-day Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Securities in the period before the Securities are issued (“ VWAP Price ”); and

  • (b) Floor Price means a price equal to 80% of the VWAP Price.

If the Adjusted Placement Price is above the Ceiling Price, then the issue price will be a 5% discount to the VWAP Price (that is, the Ceiling Price).

If the Adjusted Placement Price is below the Floor Price, then the issue price will be a 20% discount to the VWAP Price (that is, the Floor Price).

The Plan opens on 7 January 2009 and is expected to close at 5pm (Sydney time) on 3 February 2009.

Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary. All Securities issued under the Plan will rank equally with existing fully paid Securities and will carry the same voting rights and entitlement to receive distributions. No brokerage or other transaction costs apply to purchases under the Plan. The issue of Securities is expected to occur on 5 February 2009 with allotment occurring on the following day.

Questions and Answers

Defined words and expressions used in this booklet and the letter from the Chair are capitalised. See the Definitions section at the end of this booklet for their definition.

1 What is the Security Purchase Plan?

The Security Purchase Plan (the “Plan” ) is an opportunity for Eligible Security Holders to purchase additional Securities at a discount to the market price of Securities at the time of issue (without brokerage and transaction costs).

All Securities issued to you under the Plan will rank equally with your existing Securities and will carry the same voting rights and other entitlements.

2 Who may participate in the Plan?

You may participate in the Plan if you are an Eligible Security Holder. You are an Eligible Security Holder if you are a registered holder of Securities on the Record Date with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand, unless you are an Excluded Holder. An Excluded Holder is any:

  • holder who holds Securities on behalf of another person who resides outside Australia and New Zealand; or

  • holder who is in the United States or is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a US person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act).

Each trustee or nominee must not distribute any documents relating to this share purchase plan to any person in the United States or to any US Person and must not submit an Application or make payment by BPay or otherwise for Securities for any person for whose account or benefit it acts that is an Excluded Holder.

3 Do I have to participate in the Plan?

No. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary.

Before you apply for Securities, we recommend you seek independent financial advice from your stockbroker, accountant or professional adviser, and you monitor the price of the Security (which is quoted in the financial pages of the major metropolitan newspapers). This booklet does not purport to contain all of the information that you need to make an investment decision.

4 What is the Issue Price of the Securities under the Plan?

Subject to the adjustment outlined below, the issue price of Securities under the SPP will be $0.732 (“ Adjusted Placement Price ”). The issue price is equal to the price of Securities under the Placement less the distribution for the half year ended 31 December 2008. This is to ensure that, as far as possible, all Security Holders can participate in the DEXUS capital raising on similar terms to the recent Placement without disclosure.

Page 6

==> picture [120 x 95] intentionally omitted <==

The issue price is subject to adjustment to ensure that:

  • the SPP complies with relevant ASIC class order relief; and

  • the issue of securities under the SPP does not impact upon DEXUS’s placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules.

The Adjusted Placement Price will be adjusted if it is above the Ceiling Price or below the Floor Price where:

  • (a) Ceiling Price means a price equal to 95% of the 5-day Volume-Weighted Average Price of the Securities in the period before the Securities are issued (“ VWAP Price ”); and

  • (b) Floor Price means a price equal to 80% of the VWAP Price.

If the Adjusted Placement Price is above the Ceiling Price, then the issue price will be a 5% discount to the VWAP Price.

If the Adjusted Placement Price is below the Floor Price, then the issue price will be a 20% discount to the VWAP Price.

The issue price may differ from the market price of Securities on the day Securities are issued or allotted to you.

The market price or value of Securities is subject to market volatility. It may be higher or lower, at any time, than the Issue Price of the Securities you receive. The market price may change between the date of this offer and the date when Securities are issued or allotted to you under the Plan.

5 How many Securities can I apply for under the Plan?

If you are an Eligible Security Holder, you are entitled to apply for a parcel of Securities valued at $2,000, $4,000, $6,000, $8,000, $10,000 or another nominated amount of up to $10,000 at the Issue Price, regardless of the number of Securities you currently hold.

If you receive more than one copy of this booklet, or if you hold Securities in more than one capacity (eg. because you are both a sole and joint holder of Securities), the maximum amount you may apply to invest under the Plan in all capacities, and in aggregate, is $10,000 . By applying to purchase Securities under the Plan, you certify you have not exceeded this $10,000 limit.

If the Issue Price cannot be divided into $2,000, $4,000, $6,000, $8,000, $10,000 or the nominated amount of up to $10,000, to give a whole number of Securities, there will be a rounding down of the number of Securities. By applying to purchase Securities under the Plan, you acknowledge that any remaining balance of your payment will form part of the assets of DEXUS. You will not receive a refund for this amount, which will always be less than the price of one Security.
