Explanatory memorandum
Proposed Resolutions
Resolution 1: Election of a Director – Mr Phillip Pryke
Listing Rule 14.4 and Clauses 10.3 and 10.8 of the Company’s Constitution require that at an AGM, a Director who was appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board before the AGM, holds office until the conclusion of that AGM but is eligible for election at that AGM.
Mr Phil Pryke was appointed to the Board as an Independent Director on 13 October 2010 to fill a casual vacancy.
Phil has been an independent director of Goodman (NZ) Limited the manager of the New Zealand Exchange listed Goodman Property Trust since 2004. He is a director of Co-Investor Group, Tru-Test Corporation Limited and is the Deputy Chairman of NZX listed Contact Energy Limited and Chairman of ASX listed Digital Performance Group Ltd. Phil has wide experience in the fishing, energy, financial services, health and technology industries.
Having started his career in the fishing industry followed by periods at the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations and the World Bank in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, Phil spent many years in New Zealand initially focusing on the economic reforms of
the late 1980’s followed by a number of years in investment banking. In the early 1990’s he assisted the Maori in arriving at the historical settlement of Maori claims against the Crown for access to fishing resources. As a result of this he was appointed the only non-Maori on the Maori Fisheries Commission (Te Ohu Kai Moana), a position he retained through the 1990’s. In 1994, after five years as a director of the NZ Government owned Electricity Corporation of New Zealand (ECNZ), he was appointed founding Executive Chairman of Contact Energy Limited following the breakup of ECNZ. He remained Chairman through the company’s privatisation in 1999 and is now Deputy Chairman. In 1996 Phil was appointed the CEO of the Health Funding Authority of New Zealand. In 1999 Phil returned to Australia to take up the position of CEO of Lucent Technologies Australasia Pty Limited followed by CEO of NextGen Networks before being appointed Vice President, Asia Pacific of EDS. In 2007 Phil withdrew from full time executive roles to concentrate on directorships and investing through Co-Investor Group.
Phil has a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney.
Recommendation
The Directors (other than Mr Phil Pryke who has a direct interest in the outcome of the resolution) unanimously recommend that Securityholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Explanatory memorandum
Resolution 2: Adoption of the Remuneration Report
The Remuneration Report on pages 25 to 35 of the Annual Report:
-
(a) explains the Board’s policies in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to Directors and Senior Executives within Goodman;
-
(b) discusses the link between the Board’s policies and Goodman’s performance;
-
(c) provides a detailed summary of performance conditions, explaining why they were chosen and how performance is measured against them;
-
(d) sets out remuneration details for each Director and for each relevant member of Goodman’s Senior Executive team; and
-
(e) 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 Meetings.
Note: The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors.
Resolution 3: Approval of the issue of Stapled Securities as a distribution on the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities
On 6 August 2009, Goodman announced that it had entered into a new strategic relationship with CIC whereby CIC would make a significant investment of A$500 million in Goodman by subscribing for Exchangeable Hybrid Securities.
Securityholders approved the issue of the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities at the Extraordinary General Meetings of the Company and the Trust held on 24 September 2009. Goodman subsequently issued 5,000 Exchangeable Hybrid Securities with a face value of A$100,000 each to CIC on 16 October 2009.
On 30 November 2009, Securityholders approved the issue of Stapled Securities in lieu of cash distributions payable on the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities for a period of 13 months after the date of that approval. As the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities have not yet been exchanged or redeemed, the Group is seeking re-approval from Securityholders for the issue of Stapled Securities in lieu of cash distributions payable on the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities for a period of 13 months after the date of the approval of Resolution 3. To date, no distributions on the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities have been paid by way of Stapled Securities in lieu of cash.
7
Distributions are non-cumulative and payable at the sole discretion of the Issuer of the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities. The terms and conditions of the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities (attached as Annexure A) provide that Goodman can elect to satisfy the distributions payable on the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities by issuing Stapled Securities in lieu of cash. If Goodman makes this election, the Stapled Securities will be issued at a 2.5% discount to the 15 day VWAP for Stapled Securities prior to their date of issue.
These Stapled Securities will be issued to the holders of the Exchangeable Hybrid Securities (currently CIC) within 10 business days of the date of the relevant distribution payment date, being either 21 June or 21 December of each year. They will be issued on the same terms as the Stapled Securities then on issue.
The board of the Issuer can elect to pay the distribution in the form of cash or Stapled Securities, however where certain financial triggers are breached, distributions cannot be paid in cash.
If Securityholders approve this Resolution 3, Goodman could issue up to approximately 38 million[1] Stapled Securities, equivalent to 0.6%[2] of the Stapled Securities Goodman currently has on issue, to the holders of Exchangeable Hybrid Securities every sixmonthly distribution period.
Regulatory requirements for Resolution 3
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that where Goodman seeks Securityholder approval in advance of the issue of Stapled Securities, those Stapled Securities will not count towards Goodman’s 15% placement capacity.
Normally, Listing Rule 7.3.2 would require Goodman to issue the Stapled Securities which Securityholders have approved within 3 months of the date of Securityholder approval. However, the ASX has granted a waiver of Listing Rule 7.3.2 to allow Goodman to issue Stapled Securities in lieu of the payment of a cash distribution for up to 13 months after the date of Securityholder approval.
Accordingly, Goodman is seeking Securityholder approval of the issue of the issue of Stapled securities in lieu of the payment of a cash distribution for up to 13 months after the date of Securityholder approval in accordance with the procedure under Listing Rule 7.1. If this Resolution 3 is approved by Securityholders by the requisite margins, then any such Stapled Securities will not be counted towards Goodman’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
1 Based on a distribution rate of 10% and a 15 day VWAP for Stapled Securities (with a 2.5% discount) immediately prior to 28 September 2010 of $0.6492.
2 Based on the 6,369,751,394 Stapled Securities on issue as at the date of this Notice of Meetings.
