Chairman’s letter

Dear Securityholder

On 16 February 2012, Goodman Group (Goodman or GMG) announced that it would offer eligible Securityholders the opportunity to increase their holding by subscribing for up to A$2,000 of new Securities under a Security Purchase Plan (SPP).

As you were on the register of Securityholders at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 15 February 2012, with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand, we now enclose an SPP Offer Booklet, which contains the terms and conditions of the offer under the SPP, and information on eligibility and how to participate in the SPP should you wish to do so.

Under the SPP, Securities will be issued at A$0.65 per Security, being a small discount to the volume weighted average price of Securities during the 10 trading day period ended 15 February 2012, and will rank equally with existing Securities as at the date of issue. The Securities under the SPP will be issued to participants without brokerage or other transaction costs.

All Securityholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 15 February 2012[1] will be eligible to participate in the SPP and may apply for a parcel of Securities valued at up to A$2,000, on the terms and conditions of the SPP. The offer is non‑renounceable, which means you cannot transfer your right to purchase Securities under the SPP offer to anyone else.

The SPP offer is scheduled to close at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 23 March 2012, with the issue and allotment of new Securities under the SPP scheduled to occur on Monday, 2 April 2012. This timetable is indicative only. Goodman may change or terminate the SPP offer at any time by notice to ASX and reserves the right to amend this indicative timetable (as required by ASX or otherwise).

Other initiatives

On 16 February 2012, Goodman also announced a number of other initiatives:

    • Restructure and Consolidation: GMG will seek Securityholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be held on 30 March 2012 for an internal restructure of Goodman Group. This will involve adding a new Hong Kong incorporated company to the existing Goodman stapled structure and a 5:1 consolidation of all Securities.
    • Small Holding Divestment Facility: GMG has established a Small Holding Divestment Facility, under which Securityholders who at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 8 February 2012 held a parcel of Securities valued at less than A$500, based on the closing price that day (a Small Holding), are offered the opportunity to sell their Securities without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

Details of the Restructure and Consolidation are contained in a Notice of EGM and Information Memorandum regarding the Restructure and Consolidation, enclosed with the SPP Offer documents. If you have a Small Holding of Securities, you will also have been sent a Divestment Notice containing details of the Divestment Facility. Small Holders may wish to participate in the SPP to acquire a marketable parcel, but otherwise the SPP is independent of these initiatives.

Important information

Goodman does not make any recommendation to you as to whether you should participate in the SPP offer or whether to buy, sell or hold Securities, nor does it provide any financial, taxation or investment advice in relation to these matters. Please consult your financial or other professional adviser if you have any questions about your investment in Goodman or about the possible implications of the SPP offer.

If you have any queries concerning the SPP offer, please contact the Securityholder Information Line on 1300 723 040 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4043 (outside Australia) between 8:30am and 5:00pm (Sydney time).

Yours sincerely

Security Purchase Plan Offer Booklet

Goodman Group (ASX Code: GMG)

A. Introduction

Goodman Group is pleased to provide eligible Securityholders (see below) with the opportunity to participate in Goodman’s Security Purchase Plan (SPP) by subscribing for up to A$2,000 worth of additional Securities, without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. This document is issued by Goodman and explains the features of the SPP.

This document does not provide financial advice and has been prepared without taking account of any person’s investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. You should consider the appropriateness of participating in the SPP having regard to your investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. Securityholders should seek independent financial and taxation advice before making any investment decision in relation to these matters.

The offer of Securities under the SPP is made in accordance with ASIC Class Order 09/425 that grants relief from the requirement to issue a disclosure document for this offer as well as ASIC Class Order 05/26 as modified by ASIC Instrument O5/1203 which enables Goodman to set the issue price at below the prevailing market price. In New Zealand, the offer of Securities under the SPP is made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002, which grants relief from the requirements to prepare an investment statement and prospectus for this offer.

The laws of some countries prohibit or make impracticable participation in the SPP by certain overseas Securityholders. Unfortunately, Securityholders who are not resident in Australia or New Zealand will be unable to participate in the SPP.

These materials do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States or to any “U.S. Person” (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) (“U.S. Person”)) or person that is acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person. This SPP Offer Booklet may not be distributed or released in the United States or to any U.S. Person. Goodman’s Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. In addition, neither the Company nor the Trust has been, or will be, registered under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) in reliance on an exception provided by Section 3(c)(7) thereof. The Securities may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person except in compliance with the registration requirements in the Securities Act and any other applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Securities may only be offered and sold outside the United States to persons that are not U.S. Persons and are not acting for the account or benefit of U.S. Persons in “offshore transactions” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)) in compliance with Regulation S and the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Securities are offered and sold. Such Securities may not be deposited in any unrestricted American Depositary Receipt facility with respect to the Securities of Goodman Group that may be established until 40 days following the completion of the SPP.
