Dear Securityholder

MACQUARIE GOODMAN GROUP (MACQUARIE GOODMAN)

We are delighted to present a one for 10 non-renounceable Priority Entitlement Offer and Public Offer of approximately 126 million new securities at the application price of \$3.64, to raise approximately \$458 million (Offer).

The Offer will assist Macquarie Goodman to deliver its objective of pursuing expansion opportunities in Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The proceeds will primarily be used to fund a number of recently announced acquisitions of interests in properties, to fund the ongoing development pipeline and to reduce Macquarie Goodman's gearing to marginally below its target gearing range of 35% to 40%.

The expected benefits to Securityholders include:

  • increasing the forecast earnings by 0.8 cents (3.2%) per security to 25.8 cents for the year ending 30 June 2006, representing growth of 9.1% over pro forma earnings for the year ending 30 June 2005;
  • increasing the pro forma net tangible assets per security from \$1.97 to \$2.11;
  • reducing gearing to 34% to provide greater flexibility to fund future acquisitions and $\bullet$ development opportunities;
  • acquiring an interest in a seed property in Hong Kong to facilitate the potential expansion of the Asian funds management business; and
  • increasing Macquarie Goodman's market capitalisation and index weighting as well as potentially improving the trading liquidity of securities.

The Offer comprises the Priority Entitlement Offer and the Public Offer, which are fully underwritten by Macquarie Equity Capital Markets Limited, UBS AG, Australia Branch and J.P. Morgan Australia Limited. The Priority Entitlement Offer includes the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the Retail Entitlement Offer. Under the Priority Entitlement Offer, Securityholders with registered addresses in Australia and New Zealand are entitled to one new security for every 10 existing securities held on the record date of 15 April 2005. The Public Offer is an offer to persons resident in Australia of any new securities not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

The new securities will rank equally with all other securities, including full entitlement to the distribution for the quarter ending 30 June 2005. New securities are forecast to deliver a cash vield of 7.6% on the application price for the year ending 30 June 2006.
