Resolutions 2 - 4: Re-election of Directors
In order to comply with the Constitution Mr John Harkness, Mr James Hodgkinson and Ms Anne Keating are required to retire from the office of director of MGM (each having been appointed to fill casual vacancies on the board of MGM since the last annual general meeting of MGM). Mr Harkness, Mr Hodgkinson and Ms Keating are eligible to be re-elected as directors of MGM and offer themselves for re-election.
Mr John Harkness, Non-executive Director
John is a Fellow of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

She is on the boards of Macquarie Leisure Management Limited, STW Communications Group Limited and Spencer Street Station Redevelopment Holdings Limited. Anne is also a member of the Advisory Council of ABN AMRO Australia and New Zealand.
Resolution 5: Approval for the proposed issue of Stapled Securities to underwriters of the DRP The DRP allows Securityholders to invest cash distributions in additional Stapled Securities without incurring brokerage or other costs, at a discount determined by MGM and MGFM.
Macquarie Goodman Group announced to ASX on 20 September 2005 that J.P. Morgan Australia Limited would underwrite the DRP for the distribution period ended 30 September 2005.
Macquarie Goodman Group may also choose to enter into agreements to have the DRP underwritten for the distribution periods commencing 1 October 2005 and ending 30 September 2006.

Regulatory Requirements
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that the Macquarie Goodman Group must not issue or agree to issue more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without Securityholder approval. Further, ASIC Class order 05/26 provides relief from the requirement under section 601GA(1)(a) of the Corporations Act, so Stapled Securities can be issued, without Security holder approval, at a price determined by the responsible entity, provided the issue, together with any issues of Stapled Securities up to one year previously, would not comprise more than 15% of the Stapled Securities of the same class on issue after the issue is included and provided the discount to the current market price of Stapled Securities is not more than 10%.
MGM and MGFM seek approval for the issue of Stapled Securities to an underwriter of the DRP. The effect of the approval would be that the issue of Stapled Securities would not be counted in determining whether any further issues of Stapled Securities would breach the 15% limit under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or the 15% limit under the relevant ASIC Instrument.
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 only requires the approval to be given by an ordinary resolution of Securityholders. However, the relevant ASIC Instrument requires that Securityholders who hold at least 25% in value of the issued Stapled Securities vote on the question (whether in person or by proxy) and the Securityholders with at least 75% in value of the Stapled Securities represented by the Securityholders who vote on the question (in person or by proxy) vote in favour of the resolution.
At the Annual Meeting of MGI unitholders held in November 2003, unitholders passed a resolution to approve the issue of MGI units to an underwriter for the distribution periods from 1 October 2003 to 30 September 2005. MGM and MGFM propose a similar resolution now to maintain the flexibility to raise funds in the future by maximising the numbers of Stapled Securities that may be issued for the distribution period ended 30 September 2005 and for the distribution periods from 1 October 2005 to 30 September 2006 without further Securityholder approval.
The maximum number of Stapled Securities to be issued to the underwriter, or persons procured by the underwriter, will be the total number of Stapled Securities which could be issued under the DRP, minus the actual number of Stapled Securities taken up by Securityholders under the DRP. The total number of Stapled Securities that could be issued is the sum of each Securityholder's maximum entitlement under the DRP if all Securityholders participated fully. The formula to determine each Securityholder's entitlement is set out in the rules of the DRP and the maximum entitlement for each Securityholder is calculated as follows (rounded down to the nearest whole number): $\frac{D-T+R}{C}$
where:
- $\mathbb{D}$ represents the amount of the distribution to which the Securityholder is entitled in respect of each Stapled Security of the relevant class;
- T. represents the amount of the withholding tax, income tax or any other tax required to be deducted and withheld in respect of distributions attributable to each Stapled Securities;
- R is the residual positive balance carried forward in the Securityholder's plan account; and
- C represents the issue price of Stapled Securities pursuant to the DRP (refer below).
The issue price of the Stapled Securities issued or to be issued to the underwriter, or the persons procured by the underwriter, will be the same as the issue price of the Stapled Securities to the Securityholders pursuant to the DRP. The DRP states that Stapled Securities are to be issued under the DRP at the average of the daily volume weighted average price of all sales of Stapled Securities recorded on the ASX during the first 10 trading days following the ASX trading day after the record date in respect of the relevant distribution, less any discount (not exceeding 10%), if any, determined by MGFM and MGM from time to time. If MGM and MGFM believe that this calculation does not provide a fair reflection of the market price of the Stapled Securities during this period the market price may be determined by an independent expert.

Listing Rule 7.3 requires the Notice of Meeting to include the following specific information in relation to the issue of Stapled Securities:
| The formula for calculating the maximum number of Stapled Securities to be issued. |
The sum of each Securityholder's entitlement (as set out in the formula on the opposite page) minus the number of Stapled Securities that are actually taken up by Unitholders. |
|---|---|
| The date by which MGM/MGFM will issue the Stapled Securities: |
15 November 2005 in respect of issues to J.P. Morgan Australia Limited, or persons procured by them, in connection with the distribution period ended 30 September 2005 and no later than three months after the end of each relevant distribution period in connection with the distribution periods commencing 1 October 2005 and ending 30 September 2006. |
| The issue price of the Stapled Securities: |
The issue price of the Stapled Securities is fixed and will be the same as the issue price of the Stapled Securities to Securityholders under the DRP, as explained above. |
| The basis upon which allottees will be determined: |
Underwriter of the DRP who has entered into an underwriting agreement with MGM/MGFM or clients of the Underwriter. |
| Terms of the Stapled Securities: | The proposed Stapled Securities to be issued will rank, from the date of their issue, pari passu with all other fully paid Stapled Securities. |
| The interided use of the funds raised. |
Debt retirement, development projects or property acquisitions. |
| The date of allotment. | Same day as date of issue, see above. |
Resolution 6 - Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report commences on page 55 of the Macquarie Goodman Group Annual Report 2005. The Report:
- explains the board's policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to directors and senior managers within Macquarie Goodman Group;
- discusses the link between the board's policies and Macquarie Goodman Group's performance;
- provides a detailed summary of performance conditions, explaining why they were chosen and how performance is measured against them;
- sets out remuneration details for each director and for each relevant member of Macquarie Goodman Group's senior executive management team; and
- makes clear that the basis for remunerating non-executive directors is distinct from the basis for remunerating executives, including executive directors.
A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
Resolution 7 - Issue of Stapled Securities to Mr Gregory Goodman
Background
Prior to the merger between MGM and MGI, MGM used share options to have long term incentives to executives. However, there are adverse fringe benefits tax implications for Macquarie Goodman Group if options to acquire Stapled Securities are issued to executives.
Macquarie Goodman Group has introduced a share plan that is intended to have the same economic effect for executives as share options without the adverse fringe benefits tax implications. Under the ESAP, loans are made to executives to acquire stapled securities on the basis of the current weighted Stapled Security price, but the executive receives no benefit from holding the Stapled Securities unless performance hurdles and tenure requirements are met. This is achieved by:
- imposing restrictions on the Stapled Securities, so they cannot be traded or dealt with in any way;
- requiring executives to apply any distributions received on Stapled Securities so they only retain sufficient cash to meet their tax liability on the distribution; and

requiring executives to forfeit Stapled Securities if performance hurdles or tenure requirements are not met.
It is not Macquarie Goodman's policy to make offers of participation in the ESAP to non executive directors.
Reasons for approval
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires Securityholder approval for the issue of Stapled Securities to a director under the ESAP. Under the Corporations Act a loan provided to a director of MGM or MGFM will constitute the provision of a financial benefit to a related party of MGM and MGFM which is prohibited unless the benefit is approved by Securityholders. Accordingly, the MGM and MGFM directors believe it would be prudent to seek Securityholder approval for the provision of a loan under the ESAP to Mr Goodman.
CEO Remuneration
Details of Mr Goodman's 2005 remuneration are outlined on pages 58 and 105 of the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2005. To summarise, Mr Goodman's 2005 remuneration comprised:
| Salary including superamuation | 9494615 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| t it fer | 39916 | ||
| Bonus | 3450.000 | ||
| Chatters | 4460.000 | ||
| াচায়া | \$1,404,551 |
Mr Goodman's remuneration is made up of three key components:
Fixed Remuneration - based on market-place benchmarks and calculated on a total cost basis.
Short-Term Incentive - the Chief Executive Officer is entitled to between 15% and 20% of the total Macquarie Goodman bonus pool. The first \$50,000 of any bonus will be paid in cash with the remainder to be paid fortnightly over a period of three years, subject to the CEO remaining as an employee as well as certain conditions being met in the CEO's service agreement.
Long-Term Incentive - delivered through the ESAP, as noted above and as further outlined below.
In order to determine Mr Goodman's remuneration for 2006, Macquarie Goodman Group has sought advice from an independent remuneration expert, Guerdon Associates Pty Ltd ("Guerdon"). Guerdon compared the remuneration of executives with similar responsibilities in other listed companies. This advice confirmed that the overall remuneration of Mr Goodman, including long term incentives, was in line with the comparison group.
Issues to Mr Goodman under the ESAP since last approval
On 25 January 2005 MGM shareholders approved the participation of Mr Goodman in the ESAP and the making of a loan to fund the exercise of options over shares in MGM held by Mr Goodman at that time. The options were exercised over 1,666,666 MGM shares at an exercise price of \$0.5178 per share and over 2,000,000 MGM shares at an exercise price of \$2.5906 per share. The MGM shares became Stapled Securities following the merger of MGM and MGI in February 2005 and are held under the terms of the ESAP.
Advice was received at the time that the making of a loan to exercise the options, with the securities held under ESAP, conferred no additional benefit on Mr Goodman.
Number and Issue Price of Securities
Macquarie Goodman Group proposes to offer Stapled Securities to Mr Goodman under the terms of the ESAP. The Stapled Securities that Macquarie Goodman Group proposes to issue under the ESAP will rank equally with those trading on ASX at the time of issue. If approved, the acquisition price will be the same as the price at which Stapled Securities are issued under the DRP in respect of the quarter ended 30 September 2005 (excluding any discount). The number of Stapled Securities to be issued is determined in accordance with the formula contained in Resolution 7. If, for example, the DRP issue price is \$4.32 then Mr Goodman would be issued with 1,851,851 Stapled Securities.
Loan
Under the terms of the ESAP Mr Goodman is entitled to be provided with a loan (with a term of up to 5 years) to acquire the Stapled Securities. Recourse to Mr Goodman is limited to the value of the Stapled Securities held under the ESAP. The loan will bear interest at Macquarie Goodman's weighted average cost of debt, currently charged at 6.3%. After tax distributions received on the Stapled Securities must be applied in the payment of interest and principal on the loan.

The limited recourse nature of the loan means that there is a risk that Macquarie Goodman Group may incur a loss if the value of the Stapled Securities is less than the balance of the loan. There are no adverse fringe benefits tax or income tax consequences of acquiring stapled securities under the ESAP. It is expected that fringe benefits tax would not apply to loans made under ESAP.
Performance conditions
The Stapled Securities held under the ESAP will be restricted for three years, with one third of the securities becoming unrestricted each year at the end of the 3rd, 4th and 5th years, subject to:
- Mr Gregory Goodman remaining as an employee of Macquarie Goodman Group; and
- Macquarie Goodman Group achieving return on equity targets on average greater than 11% over the period of the loan.
Valuation
Based on independent advice from Macquarie Bank Limited, the directors of Macquarie Goodman Group have estimated that the value to be provided to Mr Goodman in respect of his participation in the ESAP is \$740.741 (or \$0.40 per Stapled Security (assuming 1,851,851 Stapled Security were issued at \$4.32 each)).
The key factors which are relevant to that valuation are:
- the price at which Stapled Securities are issued under the DRP (excluding any discount) in respect of the quarter ended 30 September 2005;
- after tax distributions received on the Stapled Securities, which are used to pay interest on the loan and reduce the outstanding loan made in respect of those Stapled Securities; and
- the likelihood of the performance hurdles outlined above being met.
For the purposes of the valuation of the benefits, the following assumptions were made:
- the issue price of the Stapled Securities under the DRP (excluding any discount) for the quarter ended 30 September 2005 is \$4.32;
- the forecast distribution per Stapled Security is based on the forecast in the Macquarie Goodman Group product disclosure statement dated 12 April 2005 of \$0.275 for FY06;
- it is assumed that distributions will grow at 6% each year; and
- no change to applicable tax rates. $\overline{\phantom{a}}$
The actual value of benefits received by Mr Goodman under the ESAP are likely to differ from the estimate above and will depend on various matters such as the interest rate charged under the loan and the financial performance of the Macquarie Goodman Group.
The directors of MGM do not believe that the Macquarie Goodman Group will incur any opportunity cost or forego any benefit by issuing Stapled Securities under the ESAP or making the loan for which it will not be adequately compensated if the performance hurdles described above are met.
The dilution effect of the issue of Stapled Securities will be immaterial and any funds received on issue will be employed for the general working capital requirements of Macquarie Goodman Group.
Issue Date
The Stapled Securities will be issued to Mr Goodman no later than 30 November 2005.
Recommendation
The directors of Macquarie Goodman Group (other than Mr Gregory Goodman who has a direct interest) believe that the issue of Stapled Securities on the terms above is an entirely appropriately designed equity-based incentive for this senior officer, having regard to Mr Goodman's responsibilities, commitment and the role of the loan under the ESAP in the attraction and retention of key executives and driving the improved performance of Macquarie Goodman Group.
