Resolution 5: Approval for the proposed issue of Securities to underwriters of the DRP

The DRP allows Securityholders to invest cash distributions in additional Securities without incurring brokerage or other costs, at a discount determined by MGM and MGFM.

Macquarie Goodman Group may choose to enter into agreements to have the DRP underwritten for the distribution periods between 1 October 2006 and 31 December 2007.

Requlatory Requirements

Listing Rule 7.1 provides that 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 to enable Securities to be issued, without Securityholder approval, at a price determined by the responsible entity, provided the issue, together with any issues of Securities up to one vear previously, would not comprise more than 15% of the Securities of the same class on issue after the issue is included and provided the discount to the current market price of Securities is not more than 10%.

MGM and MGFM seek approval for the issue of Securities to an underwriter of the DRP. The effect of the approval would be that the issue of Securities would not be counted in determining whether any further issues of Securities would breach the 15% limit under Listing Bule 7.1 or the 15% limit under the relevant ASIC Instrument.

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 Securities vote on the question (whether in person or by proxy) and that Securityholders with at least 75% in value of the Securities represented by the Securityholders who vote on the question (in person or by proxy) vote in favour of the resolution.

For the purposes of the Listing Rules, those who may participate as an underwriter or be procured to participate as an underwriter are excluded from voting on Resolution 5.

For the purposes of ASIC Class Order 05/26, persons who may participate in underwriting the DRP or who will hold any interest in Securities for the benefit of another person who may obtain beneficial ownership of any of the Securities that are issued as a result of the underwriting, are not entitled to vote.

These voting exclusion tests are different and they may be applied separately to the results of voting to determine if a particular resolution has been passed for a particular purpose.

Other information about the manner of voting, and voting entitlements and exclusions, is set out above in the Notice of Meetings under Resolution 5.

At the Annual General Meeting of MGM and General Meeting of MGI held in November 2005, Securityholders passed a resolution to approve the issue of Securities to an underwriter for the distribution periods from 1 October 2005 to 30 September 2006. MGM and MGFM now propose a similar resolution. If passed, the resolution will give Macquarie Goodman Group the flexibility to maximise the amount of capital that can be raised in the distribution periods from 1 October 2006 to 31 December 2007 without further Securityholder approval.

The maximum number of Securities to be issued to the underwriter, or persons procured by the underwriter, will be the total number of Securities which could be issued under the DRP, minus the actual number of Securities taken up by Securityholders under the DRP. The total number of 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):

THE EXPERIMENT OF THE EXPLORATION CONTROL

$$
\frac{D-T+R}{C}
$$

where:

D represents the amount of the distribution to which the Securityholder is entitled in respect of each 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 Security;

R represents the residual positive balance carried forward in the Securityholder's plan account; and

C represents the issue price of Securities pursuant to the DRP (refer below).

The issue price of the Securities to be issued to the underwriter. or the persons procured by the underwriter, will be the same as the Issue price of the Securities to the Securityholders pursuant to the DRP. The DRP states that Securities are to be issued under the DRP at the average of the daily volume weighted average price of all sales of Securities recorded on the ASX during the first 10 trading days. following the trading day after the record date in respect of the relevant distribution, less any discount (not exceeding 10%), if any. determined by MGM and MGFM from time to time. If MGM and MGFM believe that this calculation does not provide a fair reflection of the market price of the Securities during this period, the market price may be determined by an independent expert.

Resolution 6: Issue of Securities to Mr Gregory Goodman

Background

Since the merger between MGM and MGI, the ESAP has been used as a long-term incentive scheme for executives of Macquarie Goodman Group.

Macquarie Goodman Group introduced the ESAP at the time of the merger in February 2005 to provide the same economic effect for executives as share options without the adverse fringe benefit tax implications which applied to the issue of options over Securities at that time. Under the ESAP, loans are made to executives to acquire Securities on the basis of the current weighted Security price, but the executive receives no benefit from holding the Securities unless performance hurdles and tenure requirements are met. This is achieved by:

  • imposing restrictions on the Securities, so that they cannot be $(a)$ traded or dealt with in any way during the restriction period:
  • requiring executives to apply part of the distributions received on $(b)$ Securities to repay interest and principal of the loan so they only retain sufficient cash to meet their tax liability on the distribution; and
  • requiring executives to forfeit Securities if the performance $\langle C \rangle$ hurdles or tenure requirements are not met.

Mr Gregory Goodman, the only executive director of Macquarie Goodman Group, is entitled to participate in the ESAP, it is not Macquarie Goodman Group's policy to make offers of participation in the ESAP to non-executive directors.

At the Annual General Meeting held in November 2005, Securityholders approved the issue of \$8,000,000 of Securities to Mr Gregory Goodman under the ESAP. As a result, 1,955,990 Securities were issued on 21 November 2005 at \$4.09 per Security. There have been no issues under the ESAP to any other director since that Annual General Meeting.

As announced in June 2006, it is intended to issue 2,000,000 Securities to Mr Gregory Goodman under the ESAP. Securityholder approval is required before any Securities can be issued to Mr Goodman.

Reasons for Approval

Listing Rule 10.14 requires Securityholder approval by ordinary resolution for the issue of Securities to a director under the ESAP.

Under section 208 of the Corporations Act, MGM may only give a financial benefit to a related party (such as a director of MGM) if this is approved by an ordinary resolution of Securityholders. MGM proposes to give financial benefits to Mr Gregory Goodman in the form of a limited recourse loan under the ESAP.

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit above a prescribed formula in connection with their ceasing to hold a board or managerial office in the company or a related body corporate if it is approved by shareholders or an exemption applies. Accordingly, approval is also sought for any benefit which Mr Gregory Goodman may receive under the ESAP upon cessation of employment with Macquarie Goodman Group. Benefits may include the release of transfer restrictions on Securities or the waiver of loans under the ESAP if, for example, Mr Goodman is totally or permanently disabled.

Group Chief Executive Officer's Remuneration

Details of Mr Gregory Goodman's 2006 financial vear remuneration are outlined below. To summarise, Mr Goodman's 2006 remuneration comprised:

Salary including superannuation \$600,000
Other \$11,278
Bonus \$2,100,000
Subtotal \$2,711,278
ESAP (approved November 2005) \$917,302
Total
*********
\$3,628,580

Mr Gregory Goodman's remuneration is made up of three key components:

  • (a) Fixed Remuneration: Based on market-place benchmarks and calculated on a total cost basis.
  • (b) Short-term Incentive: "The Group Chief Executive Officer is entitled to between 15% and 20% of the total Macquarie Goodman Group bonus pool. The first \$50,000 in respect of the year ended 30 June 2006 and \$100,000 in respect of the year ending 30 June 2007 of any bonus will be paid in cash with the remainder to be paid fortnightly over a period of three years, subject to the Group Chief Executive Officer remaining as an employee as well as certain conditions being met in the Group Chief Executive Officer's service agreement.
  • (c) Long-term Incentive: Delivered through the ESAP, as noted above and as further outlined below.

Mr Goodman's 2007 financial year remuneration will be determined in accordance with the Remuneration Report on page 38 and following of the Annual Report.

Number and Issue Price of Securities

Macquarie Goodman Group proposes to offer 2,000,000 Securities to Mr Gregory Goodman under the terms of the ESAP. The Securities that Macquarie Goodman Group proposes to issue under the ESAP will rank equally with those trading on ASX at the time of issue. The issue price of \$5.24 is the same price as that at which other Australian employees were issued Securities in the 2006 offer made under the ESAP on 31 May 2006 in accordance with Macquarie Goodman Group's remuneration policy. This price was calculated as the weighted average price per Security on the ASX (excluding any special crossings) for the period of 10 trading days immediately prior to the date of the offer made to Australian employees (whether or not a sale was recorded on any particular day), and was the agreed price for the issue of the 2,000,000 Securities to Mr Goodman as announced on 14 June 2006 (following acceptance of the offer by Mr Goodman).

Explanatory Memorandum (cont)

Resolution 6: Issue of Securities to Mr Gregory Goodman (cont) Loan

Under the terms of the ESAP, Mr Gregory Goodman is entitled to be provided with a loan (with a term of up to six years) to acquire the Securities. Recourse to Mr Goodman is limited to the value of the Securities held under the ESAP. The loan will bear interest at Macquarie Goodman Group's weighted average cost of debt, which was charged in September at 6.32%, and is adjusted quarterly. After tax distributions received on the 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 Securities is less than the balance of the loan. There are no adverse fringe benefits tax or income tax consequences of acquiring Securities under the ESAP, it is expected that fringe benefits tax would not apply to loans made under ESAP.

Performance Conditions

The Securities held under the ESAP will be restricted for periods of approximately three to six years with one third of the securities becoming unrestricted on 31 December 2008, one third becoming unrestricted on 31 December 2009 and the final third becoming unrestricted on 31 December 2010. The offer is further subject to:

  • (a) Mr Gregory Goodman remaining as an employee of Macquarie Goodman Group; and
  • Macquarie Goodman Group achieving return on equity targets on $(b)$ average greater than 12% per annum over the period of the offer.

Valuation

Based on independent advice at the time of the offer, the directors of Macquarie Goodman Group estimated that the value to be provided to Mr Gregory Goodman in respect of his participation in the ESAP is \$1,060,000 (or \$0.53 per Security assuming 2,000,000 Securities issued at \$5.24 each).

The key factors which are relevant to that valuation are:

  • (a) the price at which Securities are issued;
  • (b) after tax distributions received on the Securities, which are used to pay interest on the loan and reduce the outstanding loan made in respect of those Securities; and
  • the likelihood of the performance hurdles outlined above being met. $\langle c \rangle$

For the purposes of the valuation of the benefits, the following assumptions were made:

  • (a) distributions will grow at 6% each year; and
  • (b) there will be no change to applicable tax rates.

On 6 October 2006, the closing price of Securities on ASX was \$6.72, being the highest closing price of Securities in the 12 months preceeding that date. The lowest price of Securities in the 12-month period was \$4,00 on 7 October 2005.

The actual value of benefits received by Mr Gregory 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 Macquarie Goodman Group.

The directors of Macquarie Goodman Group do not believe that Macquarie Goodman Group will incur any opportunity cost or forego any benefit by issuing 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 issue of Securities will be immaterial and any funds received on repayment of the loan will be employed for the deneral working capital requirement of Macquarie Goodman Group.

Issue Date

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The Securities will be issued to Mr Gregory Goodman no later than 15 November 2007 but are expected to be issued shortly after Securityholder approval. The Securities issued under the ESAP are restricted for three to five years subject to the satisfaction of performance hurdles as described above.

Recommendation

The directors of Macquarie Goodman Group (other than Mr Gregory Goodman who has a direct interest and abstained from consideration of the matter) believe that the issue of Securities on the terms above is an appropriate equity-based incentive for this executive director, having regard to Mr Goodman's responsibilities and commitment. Participation in the ESAP by Mr Goodman is also, in the directors' opinion, an important remuneration strategy and is intended to align the interests of Mr Goodman with the performance of Macquarie Goodman Group.

Accordingly, the directors of Macquarie Goodman Group (other than Mr Gregory Goodman who has a direct interest in the outcome of the resolution as outlined above) unanimously recommend that Security holders vote in favour of Besolution 6.

Resolution 7: Approval for increasing the directors' fee pool

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.17, Securityholders are being asked to approve an increase in the maximum aggregate sum which may be paid as non-executive directors' fees of \$1,550,000 to \$2,500,000 per annum.

Since the directors' remuneration was last approved at the time of stapling on 9 February 2005, Macquarie Goodman Group's:

  • operations have increased from three countries to 15 countries $(a)$ (with seven denominated currencies) and from approximately 190 employees to 850 employees;
  • (b) total distributions for the consolidated group have increased by 32% from \$311 million for the year ended 30 June 2005 to \$410 million for the year ended 30 June 2006;
  • assets under management have increased by 483% from (c) \$5.9 billion to \$28.5 billion as at 30 June 2006; and
  • market capitalisation has grown from approximately \$5.2 billion (d) with a security price of \$4.17 to approximately \$11.0 billion with a security price of \$6.72 as at 6 October 2006.

Resolution 7: Approval for increasing the directors' fee pool (cont)

The proposed increase will:

  • (a) allow Macquarie Goodman Group to offer remuneration to non-executive directors at rates which are comparable with those offered by other companies of similar size and global reach;
  • allow for some growth in remuneration of non-executive $(b)$ directors over time to reflect movements in the remuneration market and the increasing responsibilities that accompany the continued growth and global nature of Macquarie Goodman Group's operations:
  • allow for an arm's length fee payable to Mr David Clarke for (c) the duties and responsibilities he will undertake in his role as non- executive Chairman: and
  • provide the Board with the flexibility to appoint additional ЮĎ independent non-executive directors in the future, should that be deemed appropriate.

The structure of Macquarie Goodman Group's remuneration of nonexecutive directors comprises a base fee with additional amounts paid for committee membership, chairing of committees and the Board, along with per diem allowances for due diligence and special projects. The Board's policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for comparable companies taking into account the time, commitment and responsibilities involved. Where considered appropriate, external advice on market rates is taken.

The Board has obtained external advice from remuneration consultants on levels of and movements in non-executive director remuneration for comparable companies in the market, and has set the remuneration intended to be paid to non-executive directors of Macquarie Goodman Group on this basis. If approved, remuneration rates would be effective from 1 July 2006.

Non-executive directors of Macquarie Goodman Group are required to apply 25% of their after tax remuneration to the on-market purchase of Securities until the value of the Securities held by the director equals the equivalent value of two years of fees for that director.

In addition to the increasingly global nature of Macquarie Goodman Group's business and the added duties and responsibilities this brings to directors, since 2000 there have been expanding demands on directors of listed entities under the law, by requlators and through community expectations. Partly in response to these demands and inaccordance with movements in best practice corporate governance, the responsibilities and time commitment of non-executive directors have grown considerably over this time. Macquarie Goodman Group considers it essential that it has the resources available to attract and retain the highest quality candidates for Board positions.

Recommendation

With non-executive directors noting their interests in the matter, the Board unanimously recommends that Securityholders approve the increase in the non-executive directors' fee pool.

Disclosure of directors' remuneration will continue to be made to Securityholders in each annual report of Macquarie Goodman Group in accordance with applicable legal and ASX requirements.

Resolution 8: Approval for the future issue of options under the EOP

As described in respect of Resolution 5, Listing Rule 7.1 restricts Macquarie Goodman Group from issuing or agreeing to issue more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period without Securityholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.2 provides an exemption from this rule where the securities to be issued are securities under an employee incentive scheme that has been approved by Securityholders within three years before the issue of the securities.

The EOP was last approved for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 in 1999 by shareholders of MGM in respect of issues of options in the three years to 2002.

While it was initially intended that the EOP would be phased out post the 2005 merger, in light of the increasingly global nature of Macquarie Goodman Group's business, the granting of options has become a more effective means by which to remunerate overseas executives of Macquarie Goodman Group.

Additionally, following the announcement by the Australian government in the 2006-07 Budget on 9 May 2006 to extend the concessional tax rules currently applying to shares issued under employee share schemes to such shares forming part of a stapled arrangement, it is also proposed that, subject to the tax changes being implemented, options over Securities be issued to executives resident in Australia under the EOP in the next three years as an appropriate remuneration tool for Australian-resident executives of Macquarie Goodman Group.

The Listing Rules provide an exception from the 15% limit for new issues in connection with employee remuneration schemes that have been approved by Securityholders, It is expected that Macquarie Goodman Group will use a combination of the ESAP (approved in 2005) and the EOP. Consequently, Securityholder approval is now sought for the issue of options to executives in the next three vears under the EOP for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1 so that the number of Securities issued to executives under the EOP will not be counted in determining whether any further issues of Securities in the next 12 months would breach the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. This will enable Macquarie Goodman Group to maintain flexibility to raise funds in the future.

In accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, a summary of the terms of the EOP are detailed below:

  • each option is exercisable into one Security ranking equally with $(a)$ all existing Securities at an exercise price equal to the weighted average market price of Securities in the 10 trading days prior to the date of the offer;
  • exercise of the options is conditional on Macquarie Goodman (b) Group achieving growth in return of equity per Security equal to or in excess of 12% per annum over the period of the option; and

Explanatory Memorandum (cont)

Resolution 8: Approval for the future issue of options under the EOP (cont)

  • (c) options have vesting periods of up to three, four and five years and may be exercised prior to their explry six years after the date of issue unless one of the following events occurs before this date:
  • the participant ceases to be employed by Macquarie ብ Goodman Group or retires, becomes redundant or permanently disabled;
  • the participant has committed fraud or other serious act ${ii}$ of misconduct:
  • a takeover, scheme of arrangement or reconstruction affects -Gill Macquarie Goodman Group; or
  • the Board determines that there are circumstances which fivli will or could result in significant changes to the structure or control of Macquarie Goodman Group which may adversely affect the rights of optionholders,

in respect of which events the options will lapse on a specified date in accordance with the terms of the EOP.

Under the terms of the EOP, the directors may, subject to the Listing Rules, amend the rules of the EOP (for example, to address or take advantage of regulatory or tax positions in Australia or overseas).

Since the merger of MGM and MGI, the following options have been issued under the EOP:

  • 5,527,945 options with a \$4.09 exercise price pursuant to the $(a)$ offer on 20 October 2005;
  • 15,000,000 options with a \$4.29 exercise price pursuant to the $(b)$ offer on 9 December 2005; and
  • 3,876,000 options with a \$5.24 exercise price pursuant to the $\langle$ C) offer on 31 May 2006.

Further, an additional 11,347,500 options with a \$6.35 exercise price were offered on 25 September 2006 subject to certain conditions and acceptance and are expected to be issued after the date of the meetings such that they would fall within the terms of this approval on issue.

Resolution 9: Ratification of options previously issued under the EOP

Under Listing Rule 7.4, an issue of Securities made without approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1 (described above) if the number of Securities issued did not exceed 15% of the number of Securities on issue at the commencement of the 12 month period and holders of ordinary Securities subsequently approve the issue.

Macquarie Goodman Group seeks subsequent approval under Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of options to executives under the EOP in the 12 months prior to the date of these meetings, during which time 18,876,000 options have been issued. The Securities underlying the 18,876,000 options issued under the EOP equate to approximately 1.15% of the number of Securities on issue. As the issue of these options did not breach the 15% threshold, the effect of the approval would be that the 18,876,000 options will not be counted in determining whether any further issues of Securities in the relevant 12 month period would breach the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. Macquarie Goodman Group seeks approval from Securityholders for the options issued under the EOP in the 12 months prior to the date of the meetings in order to maintain the flexibility to raise funds by maximising the numbers of Securities that may be issued.
