Goodman Group successfully completes $1.3 billion equity raising

Date 16 September 2009
Release Immediate

Goodman Group ( Goodman ) today announced the successful completion of the retail component of the accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ) announced on 6 August 2009.

The retail component of the Entitlement Offer ( Retail Entitlement Offer ) raised proceeds of approximately $355 million. This follows the completion of the institutional placement and institutional component of the Entitlement Offer which raised approximately $923 million.

As previously indicated, Goodman received entitlement applications for approximately $282 million under the Retail Entitlement Offer, representing 80% of the stapled securities ( Securities ) offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer. Further to this, applications for additional Securities in excess of entitlements have resulted in the Retail Entitlement Offer being over subscribed. Accordingly, Goodman Group will adopt a scale-back policy having regard for offsetting the dilutionary impact of the Placement and the issue of hybrid securities to China Investment Corporation as set out in the Retail Entitlement Offer booklet.

Goodman Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Greg Goodman said ”We have been delighted with the strong level of support we have received in the retail entitlement offer and thank retail securityholders for their continued support for the Group.”

Goodman today allotted approximately 800 million new Securities under the Retail Entitlement Offer which are expected to commence trading on Thursday, 17 September 2009. Holding Statements are expected to be despatched to Retail Entitlement Offer participants on Friday, 18 September 2009. Refunds for applications as a result of the scale-back or invalid applications are expected to be despatched to Retail Entitlement Offer participants no later than Tuesday, 22 September 2009.

Please contact your broker or the Goodman Offer Information Line on 1300 723 040 to confirm allocations prior to receipt of Holding Statements.
