Dear Sir
GOODMAN GROUP EMPLOYEE EQUITY OFFERS
In accordance with Listing Rule 3.10.3, we advise of an offer of Performance Rights under the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan ( LTIP ) and restricted securities under the Goodman Tax Exempt Plan ( GTEP ).

1. Class of Securities
Performance Rights in respect of Goodman Group stapled securities ( Stapled Securities ) pursuant to offers to Eligible Employees (as defined in the LTIP rules) under the LTIP approved by Securityholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 16 November 2012. Each Performance Right is a right to be issued a Stapled Security without payment.
2. Number of Securities
The offer is in respect of 14,553,993 Performance Rights and their issue (subject to acceptance) is expected to occur on or around 9 October 2014.
The offer and issue to the Executive Directors (Greg Goodman, Anthony Rozic, Philip Pearce and Danny Peeters) is subject to Securityholder approval at the 2014 Annual General Meeting ( AGM ), as detailed below.
3. Principal terms of the Performance Rights Offer
The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Performance Rights Offer.
On each of three vesting dates (see below), each participant will be issued Stapled Securities equal to 1/3 of the total number of Performance Rights granted to that participant subject to the following conditions:
-
The participant remaining 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” (as defined in the LTIP rules) (unless the Board determines otherwise).

( TSR ) hurdle. The performance hurdles in respect of each grant will be tested in respect of the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017 (the Performance Testing Period ).
EPS is defined as annual operating profit (as determined by the Board) divided by the number of Stapled Securities on issue.
In respect of the 75% portion of each Tranche tested against EPS, nil will vest unless the cumulative EPS achieved by Goodman over the 3 year testing period of 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017 exceeds the EPS Targets established for each year by the Board. If the cumulative Target is met or exceeded, 100% of this portion will vest.
The Board determined that the Target EPS for FY14 is 36.9 cents per security. The Target EPS for FY16 and FY17 will be advised around the beginning of each of those financial years with the release of the results for the prior year.
TSR is based upon security price movements on ASX plus distributions paid in respect of those securities. Vesting of 25% of each Tranche of a participant’s Performance Rights will be based upon the TSR achieved by Goodman over the three year period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017 as compared to the TSR achieved by companies in the S&P/ASX 100 for that same period, as determined by the Board, in accordance with the following formula:
| TSR Performance in | Proportion of Performance Rights subject to TSR |
|---|---|
| Performance Testing Period | hurdle vesting |
| Compared to ASX 100 | |
| Less than the 51st Percentile | 0% |
| At 51st Percentile | 50% |
| Greater than 51stPercentile but | 50% plus additional 2% for every 1% increase in |
| less than 76thPercentile | percentile rank |
| At 76th Percentile or above | 100% |
The three vesting dates applicable to the grant of Performance Rights are:
-
1 September 2017 for Tranche 1;
-
1 September 2018 for Tranche 2; and
-
1 September 2019 for Tranche 3.
Subject to satisfaction of the vesting conditions and the LTIP rules, the Board has determined that a Performance Right does not require exercise and that upon vesting, participants will automatically become entitled to receive Stapled Securities on the applicable vesting date.
4. Issue Price
No consideration is payable on the grant of the Performance Rights or, following vesting, on the delivery of the Stapled Securities.
5. Purpose of the Issue
Remuneration of staff.
