MACQUARIE GOODMAN GROUP - ENTITLEMENT OFFER AND PUBLIC OFFER TO RAISE \$458 MILLION

Participating Organisations are advised that Macquarie Goodman Group (the "Group") has announced a 1 for 10 non-renounceable, fully-underwritten entitlement offer at \$3.64 per stapled security in the Group, to raise approximately \$458 million. The offer comprises a priority entitlement offer (the "Entitlement Offer") and a public offer (the "Public Offer") (collectively the "Offer").

The Entitlement Offer has two components:

• An Institutional Entitlement Offer, where offers have been made to qualifying $\bullet$ institutional securityholders for them to apply for their pro rata entitlement. (the "Institutional Entitlement Offer"); and
• A Retail Entitlement Offer, where offers have been made to qualifying retail $\bullet$ securityholders for them to apply for their pro rata entitlement of new stapled securities (the "Retail Entitlement Offer").

Stapled securities not taken up under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Retail Entitlement Offer will be offered under the Public Offer at the same application price to Australian investors only. The Public Offer may be subject to scale back.

The combined product disclosure statement and prospectus for the Offer was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission today. Tuesday, 12 April 2005. The Retail Entitlement Offer and the Public Offer is expected to close on Monday, 16 May 2005.

The new stapled securities will rank equally with all other stapled securities of the Group, including entitlement to the distribution for the quarter ending 30 June 2005.

The record date for the Entitlement Offer is Friday, 15 April 2005. The Retail Entitlement Offer will not extend to holders outside of Australia and New Zealand. The Group will ignore changes in security holdings which occur after the announcement of the Offer on Tuesday, 12 April 2005 (other than registrations of transactions which were effected through SEATS before the commencement of the trading halt on Wednesday, 12 April 2005).

Settlement issues

Despite the fact that the Group's stapled securities are trading "ex entitlement" on SEATS, CHESS will not recognise for settlement purposes the "ex entitlement" or the "cum entitlement" tag on CHESS messages. As a result, CHESS will not maintain cum balances in these stapled securities within the system.

In addition. CHESS will not perform any automatic diary adjustments to "cum entitlement" settlement obligations outstanding as at the record date.

Trading issues

ASX will not provide a "cum" market with respect to trading in the Group's stapled securities. Persons who trade the Group's stapled securities after the commencement of the trading halt on Tuesday, 12 April 2005 will not be entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer.

Evidence of entitlements

Persons who have traded the Group's stapled securities prior to the commencement of the trading halt on Tuesday, 12 April 2005 but are not registered holders on the record date should contact the Group's registry, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, on 02 8234 5400 or the Group to establish if there is any entitlement.
