In accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote on Resolution 7 must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any member of the key management personnel for the Company, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, or a closely related party of such a member.
However, such a person described above may cast a vote on Resolution 7 if:
-
(a) the person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 7; or
-
(b) the person is the Chairman of the Meeting and the appointment of the Chairman as proxy:
-
(i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the Resolution; and
-
(ii) expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel for the Company.
Resolutions 8, 9, 10 and 11: Issue of Performance Rights under the Long Term Incentive Plan to Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters and Mr Anthony Rozic

4 Goodman Group Notice of Annual General Meetings
Business Continued
However, a vote need not be disregarded only because:
-
(a) it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the instructions on the Voting and Proxy Form; or
-
(b) it is cast by the Chairman of the Meetings as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote in accordance with the instructions on the Voting and Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
In addition, a vote on Resolutions 8, 9, 10 or 11 must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters or Mr Anthony Rozic or an associate of them (a “relevant person”). However, a relevant person is entitled to cast a vote on Resolution 8, 9, 10 or 11 if:
-
- they act as a proxy, appointed in writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and
-
- the vote is not cast on behalf of a relevant person.
The Chairman of the Meetings intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of all Resolutions.
Defined terms used in this Notice of Meetings are set out at the end of this document.
The Nominee will then appoint two proxies, one to vote in favour and one against each Resolution to be considered at the GLHK AGM, in accordance with the voting instructions. GLHK will allow the Nominee to lodge those proxies at any time up to 5:00pm on the day prior to the Meeting.
All actions of the Nominee will be undertaken by Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited as the agent of the Nominee exercising its power of attorney under ASX Settlement Operating Rule 13.5.8.
This directed voting by way of lodgement of the Voting and Proxy Form prior to the AGM is the only way Securityholders will be entitled to vote at the GLHK AGM. In particular, Securityholders will not be entitled to vote personally (whether by person, proxy, representative or attorney) at the GLHK AGM, as they are not the legal holder of the GLHK shares, nor will they be able to change their voting instructions after 10:00am (Sydney time) on 20 November 2013, or if the Meetings are adjourned, at least 48 hours before its resumption in relation to the adjourned part of the Meetings.
Securityholders should note that unlike for the GLHK AGM, they will be able to vote personally in respect of the GL and GIT AGMs, either by attending and voting at the meeting or, by appointing a proxy to vote on their behalf by completing and lodging the Voting and Proxy Form prior to the AGMs.
Combined Meetings
The Meetings will be held and conducted as combined meetings of the shareholders of GL, unitholders of GIT and the sole shareholder of GLHK. All Resolutions at each AGM will be determined on a poll.
Where a Resolution is to be considered by the members of more than one Goodman entity, the poll will be taken at the same time, but the result separately taken and recorded. The Resolution will not be effective unless passed by the required majority by the members of each relevant Goodman entity.
Rights of Securityholders as a GLHK CDI holder in relation to Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited
Securityholders are entitled:
-
(a) to attend and speak at the GLHK AGM; and
-
(b) to cause the GLHK shares referenced by the CHESS Depositary Interests (GLHK CDIs) stapled to their Goodman stapled securities to be voted at the AGM by directing Chess Depositary Nominees Pty Limited (Nominee) as the legal holder of those shares to vote those shares in the manner directed in the Voting and Proxy Form.
To cause the GLHK shares referenced by the GLHK CDIs forming part of your Goodman Securities to be voted on your behalf at the AGM, you will need to complete and lodge the voting instruction component of the Voting and Proxy Form prior to the AGM, in accordance with the instructions below (whether or not you wish to appoint a proxy or vote directly in respect of the GL and GIT AGMs).
Annual Report
The Annual Report is available for download from Goodman’s website at http://investors.goodman.com and was provided to Securityholders on 27 September 2013.
Required vote and majority
Aside from Resolution 12, the Resolutions will be passed as ordinary resolutions of GL, GIT and GLHK (as applicable) for all purposes under the Listing Rules and the Corporations Act or Companies Ordinance (as applicable) if they are approved by the majority of votes cast by members (being the Nominee in the case of GLHK) present and voting (including by proxy) at the Meetings.
Resolution 12 will require a special resolution of the unitholders of GIT and will be approved if 75% or more of the votes cast on that Resolution at the Meetings on behalf of its Securityholders are in favour of the Resolution.
Each resolution is to be considered separately, and the approval or otherwise of a resolution will not be conditional on the outcome of another, (except where a particular resolution must be approved by the members of more than one Goodman entity).
5
Voting entitlements
The Directors have determined (pursuant to regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 in the case of GL and GIT) that the holding of each Securityholder for the purposes of ascertaining the voting entitlements for the Meetings will be as it appears in the Register at 7:00 pm (Sydney time) on 20 November 2013.
Voting in person at the Meetings of GL and GIT – individuals and corporate representatives
Securityholders who plan to attend the Meetings are asked to arrive at the venue 30 minutes prior to the time designated for the Meetings, if possible, so that their Securityholding may be checked against the security register and attendance noted. Securityholders attending in person must register their attendance upon arrival.
Where more than one joint Securityholder votes or provides a voting instruction (as the case requires), the vote or voting instruction of the Securityholder whose name appears first in Goodman Group’s security register shall be accepted to the exclusion of the others.
To vote in person at the Meetings of GL and GIT (but not GLHK), a body corporate that is a Securityholder may appoint an individual to act as its representative. The representative should bring to the Meetings a letter or certificate evidencing their appointment. A form of certificate may be obtained from Goodman Group’s security registry at: www.investorcentre.com.
As noted above, Securityholders will not be entitled to vote personally (whether by person, proxy, representative or attorney) at the GLHK AGM as they are not the legal holder of the GLHK shares. However, they will be able to attend in their capacity as holders of GLHK CDIs comprising part of their Goodman Securities.
Voting using the Voting and Proxy Form or electronically: Voting and Proxy Form
The Voting and Proxy Form serves two purposes:
-
(a) firstly, it enables Securityholders to direct the Nominee how to vote in respect of their GLHK shares referenced by the GLHK CDIs forming part of their Goodman Securities at the GLHK AGM (as noted above, Securityholders cannot vote in person at the GLHK AGM); and
-
(b) secondly, it enables Securityholders to appoint any person as their proxy to vote on their behalf at the GL and GIT AGMs if they do not wish to vote in person at the GL and GIT AGMs.
Meeting of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited
(a) How is the Nominee to vote?
To cause the GLHK shares referenced by the GLHK CDIs to be voted at its AGM, you must complete the voting instruction comprised in the Voting and Proxy Form prior to 10:00am (Sydney time) on 20 November 2013 (whether or not you wish to appoint a proxy or vote directly in respect of the GL and GIT AGMs) in accordance with the instructions below.
The Nominee will then appoint two proxies, one to vote in favour and one against each Resolution to be considered at the GLHK AGM in accordance with the voting instructions. This process means you are not able to directly appoint a person to attend and vote as your proxy at the Meeting of GLHK.
(b) Giving more than one voting instruction
A Securityholder may give two voting instructions in respect of GLHK CDIs held by them and specify the proportion or number of votes in respect of each such instruction.
If the Securityholder gives two voting instructions and does not specify the proportion or number of votes in respect of each such instruction, then each instruction is taken to be an instruction in respect of half of the votes.
Meetings of Goodman Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust
(a) How is the proxy to vote?
Unless the proxy is required by law to vote, the proxy may decide whether or not to vote on any particular item of business.
If the appointment of proxy:
-
- directs the proxy to vote on an item of business in a particular way, the proxy may only vote on that item as directed; or
-
- does not direct the proxy to vote on an item of business in any particular way, the proxy may vote on that item as the proxy sees fit.
If the appointment of a proxy does specify the way a proxy is to vote:
-
- the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote on that item as directed; and
-
- if the proxy has two or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution, the proxy must not vote on a show of hands; and
-
- if the proxy is the Chairman of the Meetings at which the resolution is voted on, the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote on that item as directed; and
-
- if the proxy is not the Chairman, the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote on that item as directed.
6 Goodman Group Notice of Annual General Meetings
Business Continued
If the appointment of a proxy does specify the way a proxy is to vote and the proxy is not recorded as attending the Meetings or does not vote on the resolution, the Chairman of the Meetings is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the Meetings of GL and GIT (but not GLHK) even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the key management personnel of the Company.
(b) Appointing more than one proxy
A Securityholder entitled to cast two or more votes at the Meetings of GL and GIT (but not GLHK) may appoint two proxies and specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise.
If the Securityholder appoints two proxies and does not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, then each proxy may exercise half of the votes.
(c) Custodian voting
For Intermediary Online subscribers (custodians) only please visit www.intermediaryonline.com to submit your voting intentions.
(d) Chairman’s intention
If you return your Voting and Proxy Form but do not nominate a representative, the Chairman of the Meetings of GL and GIT (but not GLHK) will be your proxy and will vote on your behalf as you direct on the Voting and Proxy Form. If your nominated representative does not attend the Meetings of GL and GIT (but not GLHK) then your proxy vote will revert to the Chairman of the Meetings. The Chairman intends to vote all proxies granted to the Chairman of the Meetings in favour of the Proposed Resolutions set out in the Notice of Meetings (unless you have provided a contrary voting instruction in your Voting and Proxy Form).

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meetings.
The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The Directors will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by Securityholders on the Remuneration Report when reviewing Goodman’s remuneration policies. If a company’s remuneration report receives votes against of 25% or more at two consecutive AGMs, a resolution must then be put to GL shareholders at the second annual general meeting as to whether another meeting should be held within 90 days at which all directors (other than a managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable directors’ report must stand for re-election.
Recommendation in respect of Resolution 7
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Goodman Group, as described in the Remuneration Report, the Directors unanimously recommend that Securityholders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
Item D – Special Business

The Executive Directors’ remuneration for the 2013 financial year is detailed on pages 42 and 43 of the Annual Report.
10 Goodman Group Notice of Annual General Meetings
Explanatory memorandum Continued
Summary of Performance Rights terms
Each Performance Right is a right to acquire one Security ranking equally in all respects with all existing Securities, without payment. The Performance Rights will be granted for no consideration.
A grant of Performance Rights under the LTIP is subject to both the rules of the LTIP and the terms of the specific grant.
The vesting dates and hurdles applying to the proposed grants of Performance Rights to Executive Directors are the same as those applying to other participants under the LTIP.
Tranches and Vesting Dates
To ensure further long-term alignment and retention, vesting is in three tranches in years three, four and five, assuming that the performance hurdles have been achieved. The three Vesting Dates applicable to the grant of Performance Rights are:
-
- 1 September 2016 for Tranche 1;
-
- 1 September 2017 for Tranche 2; and
-
- 3 September 2018 for Tranche 3.
On each of the three Vesting Dates, the Executive Director will receive Securities equal to 1/3 of the total number of Performance Rights granted subject to Goodman Group meeting the applicable Performance Hurdles described below and the Executive Director remaining an Employee of Goodman Group on the relevant Vesting Date (as further described below).
Upon vesting, the Executive Director will automatically become entitled to receive Securities on the applicable Vesting Date at no cost.
Performance Hurdles
Under the LTIP, 75% of each grant will be tested against an EPS Hurdle and 25% of each grant will be tested against a relative TSR Hurdle. The Performance Hurdles in respect of each grant will be tested in respect of the performance testing period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2016 (the Performance Testing Period).
(a) EPS Hurdle
This hurdle measures the direct contribution of employees to the financial performance of Goodman.
In respect of the 75% portion of each tranche tested against EPS, nil will vest unless the cumulative Operating EPS achieved by Goodman over the Performance Testing Period exceeds the Operating EPS Targets established for each year by the Board. If the cumulative Target is met or exceeded, 100% of this portion will vest at the end of the Performance Testing Period.
The Board has determined that the Target Operating EPS for FY2014 is $0.343 per Stapled Security. The Target EPS for FY2015 and FY2016 will be advised around the commencement of each of those financial years with the release of the prior year results.
(b) Relative TSR Hurdle
This hurdle aligns the vesting outcomes for employees with the returns to Securityholders.
Vesting of 25% of each tranche of Performance Rights will be based upon the TSR achieved by Goodman over the Performance Testing Period as compared to the TSR achieved by companies in the S&P/ASX 100 for that same period. As set out above, nil vests at less than the 51st percentile, 50% vests at the 51st percentile and then an additional 2% vests for every 1% increase in percentile rank until 100% vests at the 76th percentile.
For LTIP grants made in the 2014 financial year, the TSR comparator group has been changed from the S&P/ASX 200 index to the S&P/ASX 100 index. Consistent with prior years, the Board is of the view that this comparator group is sufficiently broad to include a sample of businesses with geographic diversity and business complexity, with Goodman competing for investment capital against this comparator group. The Board considers the change to the S&P/ASX 100 index is appropriate given Goodman’s market capitalisation and its overall ranking by size within the top 100 ASX listed entities.
In the Board’s view, the Performance Hurdles that must be satisfied before Performance Rights vest link the ultimate value of the Performance Rights to the continued growth of Goodman’s earnings and Securityholder returns and therefore provide a strong incentive.
Vesting Conditions – continued employment
In addition to the Performance Hurdles, it is a Vesting Condition that the Executive Director remains an employee of Goodman Group on the relevant Vesting Date or having ceased as an employee of Goodman Group before one or any of the relevant Vesting Dates in “Special Circumstances” (unless the Board determines otherwise, as discussed below).
Special Circumstances are defined in the LTIP rules and would apply in the event of an Executive Director’s death or cessation of employment due to retirement, total or permanent disablement, redundancy or other circumstances determined by the Board.
In accordance with the terms of the LTIP, vesting of a tranche will still occur if cessation of employment is within one month of the relevant Vesting Date.
Early vesting of the proposed grant under the LTIP rules
In the event of an Executive Director’s cessation of employment due to Special Circumstances, prior to the date nominated as the first possible time for the Performance Rights to be exercised, some or all of any unvested Performance Rights may vest as determined by the Board in its discretion
11
or continue as if they were still employed. In exercising its discretion, the Board may take into account a range of matters including the:
-
(a) elapsed performance period as at the date of cessation; and
-
(b) extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied as at the date of cessation.
Where an Executive Director ceases employment in circumstances other than those described above, all unvested Performance Rights will lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board.
In addition to early vesting as a result of Special Circumstances, the Board may, at its discretion, accelerate the vesting of all or part of any unvested Performance Rights, in circumstances such as a takeover bid resulting in a change in control, a scheme of arrangement, winding up or delisting of Goodman or a change in the composition of a Security.
In the event that an Executive Director’s Performance Rights vest early upon the termination of their employment, the value of the benefit they may receive as a result of the early vesting for the purposes of the retirement benefit provisions of the Corporations Act cannot be ascertained at the date of this Notice as it will be necessarily determined by the number of Performance Rights vesting and the market value of the Securities at the date of vesting.
Additional terms and restrictions
In the event of any capital reorganisation by Goodman (including bonus issues, other pro rata issues or reorganisations), the participant’s Performance Rights, and the Securities allocated to the participant on vesting of the Performance Rights, will be adjusted, as set out in the LTIP rules. In general, it is intended that the participant will not receive any advantage or disadvantage from such an adjustment not received by holders of Securities and any adjustment must be consistent with the Listing Rules and Corporations Act.
Performance Rights will not attract dividends or distributions and voting rights in respect of Securities until the Performance Rights vest and Securities are allocated, whether or not the Securities are subject to disposal restrictions. Income tax will be the responsibility of the participants.
A participant may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise deal with, or grant a security interest over Performance Rights without the prior written approval of the Board. Performance Rights may lapse immediately on any purported sale, assignment, transfer, dealing or grant of security interest. In addition, it is contrary to the Group’s securities trading policy and the law for directors or senior executives to seek or enter into derivative contracts that hedge their exposure to movements in the price of Goodman Related Securities that have not vested.
Other prescribed information
Of the Directors, only the Executive Directors (Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters, and Mr Anthony Rozic) are eligible to participate in the issue of performance rights under the LTIP. The non-executive directors (Mr Ian Ferrier, Ms Anne Keating, Mr Jim Sloman, Mr John Harkness, Mr Philip Fan, Mr Phillip Pryke, and Ms Rebecca McGrath) are not eligible to participate and no other Performance Rights have been issued to any other Director.
Following the approval of the grant of Performance Rights under the LTIP to Mr Gregory Goodman and Mr Philip Pearce at the 2012 AGM, Mr Gregory Goodman was granted 927,152 Performance Rights and Mr Philip Pearce was granted 298,013 Performance Rights in December 2012. Mr Danny Peeters and Mr Anthony Rozic each received a grant of 463,576 Performance Rights in October 2012 as their grants were not subject to securityholder approval at the 2012 AGM. These Performance Rights were each granted for no consideration.
Performance Rights are used by Goodman for employee remuneration and incentive and do not raise any issue proceeds. The Performance Rights will be granted, and if vested, Securities will be issued or delivered, at no cost to Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters, and Mr Anthony Rozic.
If Securityholders approve Resolutions 8, 9, 10, and 11 the Performance Rights will be issued to Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters and Mr Anthony Rozic shortly after the passing of this Resolution (and in any event within 12 months).
The Directors other than Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters and Mr Anthony Rozic:
-
(a) do not believe that Goodman will incur any material opportunity cost or forego any material benefit by issuing Performance Rights under the LTIP to Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters and Mr Anthony Rozic for which it will not be adequately compensated if the performance hurdles described above are met;
-
(b) believe that the issue of the Performance Rights under the LTIP to Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters, and Mr Anthony Rozic as part of their remuneration is reasonable in the circumstances of Goodman Group; and
-
(c) believe that the dilutionary effect of the issue of 2,184,211 Performance Rights to the Executive Directors will be immaterial as they represent less than 0.13% of the 1,718,742,809 Securities currently on issue.
Following vesting, disposal of Securities allocated under the LTIP will be subject to Goodman’s security trading policy.
12 Goodman Group Notice of Annual General Meetings
Explanatory memorandum Continued
Reasons for seeking approval
Securityholder approval of the offer to each of Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters and Mr Anthony Rozic as Directors of Goodman to participate in the LTIP is sought for all purposes under the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules. If approval is given, the following consequences will ensue:
-
(a) any benefits received by Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters and Mr Anthony Rozic under the LTIP upon cessation of employment will not be prohibited under the retirement benefit provisions of section 200B of the Corporations Act. Benefits may include the early vesting of Performance Rights approved by the Board in limited circumstances as set out in the LTIP rules and as described; and
-
(b) under Listing Rule 10.14, an entity must not issue securities to a related party (such as a Director or a company controlled by a Director) under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its members. Accordingly, approval of Securityholders is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 to enable Goodman to make grants of Performance Rights, and subsequently issue or transfer Securities to Mr Gregory Goodman, Mr Philip Pearce, Mr Danny Peeters, and Mr Anthony Rozic.
Recommendation in respect of Resolutions 8, 9, 10 and 11 The Directors (other than the Executive Directors who have a direct interest and abstained from consideration of the matter) believe that the issue of Performance Rights under the LTIP on the terms above is an appropriate equity-based incentive for each Executive Director, having regard to their performance, responsibilities and commitment.
Accordingly, the Directors (other than the Executive Directors who have a direct interest in the outcome of the resolution as outlined) unanimously recommend that Securityholders vote in favour of Resolutions 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Resolution 12: Approval of amendments to the Goodman Industrial Trust Constitution
The Board of GFML as responsible entity of GIT has undertaken a review of the Constitution of GIT. Following that review, the Board has determined to propose the following changes to ensure the Constitution continues to allow appropriate flexibility in setting the issue price of the GIT Unit component of Securities.
These Constitution changes relate to the new ASIC Class Order on issue price provisions in registered scheme constitutions and are proposed in conjunction with GFML seeking to opt-in to that new Class Order regime.
Background
Under the Corporations Act, the GIT Constitution must make adequate provision for the issue price of interests in GIT. This requires the Constitution to set out prescriptive pricing provisions for the issue of Units. There is no equivalent requirement for the issue price of shares in GL or GLHK. Under ASIC Class Order 05/26 (2005 Class Order), on which GIT has previously relied, these requirements were relaxed to allow GFML to exercise limited discretions in setting the issue price of GIT Units as a component of Securities, provided certain pricing restrictions and other conditions were met. The GIT Constitution contained provisions consistent with these restrictions and conditions.
In June 2013, ASIC issued Class Order 13/655 (2013 Class Order) which affords responsible entities of registered managed investment schemes (such as GIT) greater flexibility when setting the price at which interests in the scheme may be issued. However, the 2013 Class Order imposes increased compliance requirements when exercising these discretions.
The 2013 Class Order arose from a review by ASIC of the existing issue price restrictions in constitutions. ASIC has stated “The purpose of this class order is to update and provide certainty for responsible entities while providing appropriate flexibility for responsible entities in relation to the provisions of the constitution for a registered managed investment scheme.” (Explanatory Memorandum to 2013 Class Order).
The 2013 Class Order mandatorily applies to all managed investment schemes registered from 1 October 2013. For existing registered schemes, such as GIT, the new provisions are not automatically imposed and the responsible entity must opt-in to operate under the 2013 Class Order.
The 2013 Class Order requires the responsible entity to exercise its pricing discretions consistently with, among other things, market practice for working out the market price of interests of the same kind in relation to an issue of the interest and producing a value or price that is reasonably current at the time of the issue of the relevant interest in the Trust. The exercise of the discretion must also be documented.
Proposed amendments to the Goodman Industrial Trust Constitution
The Board proposes to opt-in to the 2013 Class Order regime as the Board considers that the flexibility in setting the issue price of Securities allowed by the 2013 Class Order is more appropriate for Goodman Group as a listed stapled group comprising a trust and two companies, recognising there are no restrictions on setting the issue price of shares under each company Constitution.
13
The amendments to the GIT Constitution have the effect of removing certain restrictions on GFML in setting the issue price of Securities. In particular, the effect of these amendments on GFML’s ability to set the issue price of Securities is as follows:
| Issue | Current Provision | New Provision |
|---|---|---|
| Placements | GFML may determine the issue price. | GFML may determine the issue price. |
| Rights issues | Issue price must be not less than 50% of | GFML may determine the issue price. |
| the weighted average price of Securities | ||
| traded on the ASX during a 10 trading | ||
| day period. | ||
| Distribution Reinvestment Plan | Issue price must be the average of the | GFML may determine the issue price. |
| daily volume weighted average of the | ||
| selling prices of Securities on each of the | ||
| 20 trading days following the ASX trading | ||
| day after the record date in respect of the | ||
| relevant distribution, or such other period | ||
| GFML determines, less such discount if | ||
| any, not exceeding 10% as GFML may | ||
| determine. | ||
| Options | The issue price of a Unit on exercise | The issue price of a Unit on exercise of |
| of an option must not be less than | an Option may be determined by GFML. | |
| a discount of 50% of the price which | ||
| would otherwise apply. |

Voting Instructions for CDIs representing shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited
Important Notice: To vote in respect of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited resolutions you must complete and lodge this Voting and Proxy Form prior to the AGM. You cannot vote on the Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited resolutions in person at the meeting. This is because, the underlying ordinary shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited are registered in the name of CHESS Depository Nominees Pty Ltd (CDN). As holders of CHESS Depository Interests (CDIs) are not the legal owners of the ordinary shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited, CDN is entitled to vote at meetings of shareholders on the instruction of the registered holder of the CDIs. For voting purposes each CDI is equivalent to one ordinary share in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited.
Attending the Meetings
Bring this form to assist registration. If a representative of a corporate Securityholder is to attend the meetings of Goodman Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust you will need to provide the appropriate “Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to admission. A form of the certificate may be obtained from Computershare or online at www.investorcentre.com under the information tab, "Downloadable Forms". It will not be possible to appoint a corporate representative for the meeting of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited.
Attending the meetings of Goodman Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust, whether in person or by corporate representative, will revoke your appointment of proxy for those meetings given in any Voting and Proxy Form but importantly it will not override or revoke your voting instructions to CDN in relation to the meeting of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited. As you are not a registered holder of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited shares, you will need to lodge a Voting and Proxy Form if you want the shares underlying your CDIs to be voted at the general meeting of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited.
This Voting and Proxy Form gives your voting instructions to CDN, which will vote the underlying shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited on your behalf. You need to return this Voting and Proxy Form no later than the time and date shown above to give CDN enough time to tabulate all CDI votes and to vote on the underlying shares.
Giving Multiple Voting and Proxy Forms
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Accordingly you are encouraged to lodge and submit a Voting and Proxy Form (whether or not you intend to attend the meetings of Goodman Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust in person or by corporate representative) in order to give effect to your voting instructions in relation to Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited.
Giving a Second Voting and Proxy Form: You are entitled to give up to two Voting and Proxy Forms.
