Lend Lease is committed to operating Incident & Injury Free wherever the Group has a presence. This is central to our business approach and is embedded in all our decision making. Tragically one fatality occurred in the Australian infrastructure business during the year. Our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the deceased.

To assist us in achieving our vision we have developed a set of operating disciplines and specific environmental, health and safety leadership behaviours, all of which are aimed at ensuring those who work with us, and for us, operate in a manner which means we never compromise on our vision.

This year we made significant progress in our efforts to further develop our people in the area of safety. Our Uncompromising Leadership program is about setting an example, and taking a strong stance when faced with any situation that compromises the safety of employees and contractors.

Over the past five years, we have achieved a material improvement in our incident frequency rates, and have significantly reduced our fall from heights by 80 per cent.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

==> picture [398 x 297] intentionally omitted <==

During the 2011 year, the Group significantly progressed its strategy, with the acquisition of the infrastructure business and the achievement of key milestones on a number of major projects. In line with the Group’s focus on portfolio management we have continued to recycle a number of assets.

Since announcing the Group’s full year result in August we have continued to see momentum in project wins. The Infrastructure business has a backlog of A$6.3 billion, including secured and pending work, and is preferred bidder on a further A$1.2 billion of work. We launched a new retail fund in New Zealand, sold additional assets to the UK Infrastructure Fund and won additional work with the US military under the lodgings program.

While there is further work to be done, the Group is well placed to deliver growth over the medium term in our chosen market sectors and segments, despite the current uncertainty in global markets. In 2012 we will see the benefit of earnings from the infrastructure business and also the emergence of profits from our major projects, particularly Barangaroo South.

==> picture [380 x 285] intentionally omitted <==

For the year ended 30 June 2011 the Group delivered an Operating Profit after Tax of $485.3 million, a 50 per cent increase on the prior year.

Earnings growth was achieved across all regions, in the face of challenging economic conditions in the UK, Europe and the Americas and a negative impact of the high Australian dollar.

Statutory Profit after Tax for the year was $492.8 million, including net property revaluation gains of $7.5 million.

Finally, return on equity moved closer to our target of 15% and remains a strong focus for the Group.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

10

==> picture [350 x 263] intentionally omitted <==

Lend Lease has built a solid platform for growth over the past few years and, despite continuing uncertainty and volatility in global markets, we are tracking well against our financial targets. We aim to achieve a return on equity greater than 15% per annum and we were just below this target for the full year.

Our debt metrics remain strong with gearing just below 9%. During 2011 15% of EBITDA came from annuity income and the Group will continue to target around 15% of EBITDA from a broad range of annuity income streams

The dividend payout ratio of 41% of Operating profit for the full year, resulted in a total cash distribution for the year of 35 cents. This was up 3 cents per security or 9% on the prior year.

The final dividend was unfranked reflecting lower tax payments in Australia. Going forward our franking capacity will vary depending upon a number of things including the quantum of timing differences, particularly in the Retirement Business and potential changes in tax consolidation legislation.

The rules of the DRP have been changed and we have removed the discount of 2.5 per cent. This was applied to the final distribution paid in September.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

11

==> picture [362 x 272] intentionally omitted <==

For some time we have talked about the key growth trends that will impact and shape our business. These include urban regeneration, the ageing population, infrastructure, sustainability and growth in sovereign wealth funds and pension funds.

One of the most significant achievements for 2011 was advancing our position in the infrastructure sector by acquiring Valemus Australia, the parent company of Abigroup, Baulderstone and Conneq. The acquisition materially increased the Group’s capabilities and activities in the engineering and construction market in Australia.

Integration of the new business is progressing well and is on track to be a significant driver of earnings for Lend Lease from financial year 2012 onwards.

In the 2011 Dow Jones Sustainability World Index we achieved a score of 80% - a 2% improvement from the prior year and well ahead of the average industry score of 45%.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

12

==> picture [374 x 281] intentionally omitted <==

In summary, the Group’s financial strength, focus on capital recycling and access to third party capital gives Lend Lease the financial flexibility to continue to invest in its development pipeline and other opportunities.

We have continued to deliver on our strategy of investing in key growth areas through our development pipeline …. and the acquisition of the infrastructure business that will provide earnings accretion this year.

We are positive about the Group’s operating outlook and remain focused on optimizing securityholder returns. Lend Lease is in good shape and well placed to deliver growth over the medium term.

Finally, I extend thanks to my board colleagues, senior management and Lend Lease employees around the world for their passion, hard work and commitment.

I will now hand over to Steve to take us through an update on the business.

2011 Annual General Meeting Speech by Steve McCann

Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

MR STEVE McCANN:

==> picture [375 x 282] intentionally omitted <==

Thanks David.

Having focused on building a solid platform over the past few years, Lend Lease is in a very good position. While uncertainty remains in global markets, we have a prudent strategy for growth in all our regions. Our financial result this year clearly demonstrates that we are pursuing the right strategy.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

14

==> picture [375 x 279] intentionally omitted <==

The Australian region had a strong result in 2011 with profit up 14%. This included a full 12 month contribution from the Retirement Living and Aged Care business and a small contribution from the acquired infrastructure business. Lend Lease continued to add to its significant development pipeline and progress key projects. In Australia, the New South Wales Government approved the Concept Plan amendment for the $6 billion redevelopment of Barangaroo South in Sydney and construction has now commenced on site.

The combined project management and construction and infrastructure business has a robust backlog of government work, particularly healthcare and transport, and our backlog would be even higher if we included our internal development pipeline that has not been contracted to date.

The long term fundamentals of the residential sector remain strong, driven by the robustness of the Australian economy, low levels of unemployment, population growth and a growing housing stock deficiency in most states. However, as we previously flagged, we have seen reduced trading levels in the financial year to date, impacted by consumer confidence as buyers remain cautious and take longer to make purchase

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

15

decisions. Last week’s interest rate cut is welcome but we remain cautious about the residential outlook.

In Asia, there are strong fundamentals across most markets and profit for the year was up nearly 40%. Our development of the Jurong Gateway mixed-use site, renamed Jem™, in conjunction with the Lend Lease managed Asian Retail Investment Fund, is progressing well with 100% of the commercial space leased as well as the majority of the retail anchor tenant space.

==> picture [381 x 289] intentionally omitted <==

In Europe, market conditions remain tough and this has slowed the volume of construction work. During the 2011 year we launched the Lend Lease managed UK Infrastructure Fund raising £220 million of capital. Subsequent to year end the Fund acquired three additional PPP assets realising £30 million of capital. We also continued to progress major projects, signing a conditional regeneration agreement with the London Borough of Southwark for the £1.5 billion regeneration of Elephant & Castle and meeting all conditions on the Framework Agreement for the £1.3 billion second stage of The International Quarter, Stratford City, London. We have achieved this with very little capital invested.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

16

The Americas region had a strong year in 2011 principally due to the sale of King of Prussia which released over US$500 million of capital. The market remains very challenging and construction revenue reduced although the volume of construction projects secured in the year did increase.

We have also added to our pipeline in the US military housing privatisation and lodgings sectors, and during 2011 we acquired DASCO, a developer of medical office buildings and outpatient care facilities with a strong development pipeline that will position Lend Lease in a rapidly growing sector.

==> picture [379 x 286] intentionally omitted <==

The acquisition of the infrastructure business continues to track in line with our expectations.

As at 30 September 2011, backlog revenue was A$6.3 billion. The integration process is progressing as planned.

We remain on track to deliver the earnings accretion announced at the time of the acquisition and finally have significant visibility of new work with circa A$1.2 billion of work at preferred bidder stage.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

We announced yesterday a number of organisational structure changes as part of the integration of the infrastructure business. Most importantly, effective 1 February next year the infrastructure business will report into the Australian region. Our infrastructure businesses, Abigroup, Bauderstone and Conneq which has been rebranded Lend Lease infrastructure services, together with our project management and construction business will all report to Peter Brecht, who has been appointed Managing Director, Construction Australia. Peter will report into the regional CEO, Mark Menhinnitt.

At Barangaroo South in Sydney construction work officially commenced on October 25th launched by the NSW Premier The Honourable Barry O’Farrell.

Lend Lease is well advanced in discussions with major tenants and third party investors and, as previously advised, we will provide an update on tenants and capital partners by the end of the calendar year. Importantly, we remain on track for the project to begin contributing earnings in the second half of this financial year.

The Barangaroo Review initiated by the NSW Government was completed in August and provides enhanced certainty for

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

18

Barangaroo. The Review acknowledged the quality of the project and its importance to Sydney, as well as the integrity of the processes Lend Lease has undertaken for Barangaroo South.

Lend Lease is also working co-operatively with the NSW Government to explore alternative locations for the hotel at Barangaroo. The discussions take into account design excellence, our commercial position and the timing of the project.

Current construction work includes building the retaining wall for the shared basement under Barangaroo South’s three commercial office towers with construction work on the first commercial tower expected to begin before the end of the calendar year.

Finally, work is underway on plans for the Wynyard Walk, a new pedestrian link from the Wynyard bus and rail transport hub to Barangaroo.

==> picture [181 x 136] intentionally omitted <==

Lend Lease has a clear Restore-Build-Lead strategy to realise the long term growth potential of the Group. The ability to operate Incident & Injury Free is fundamental to our success, and we are working hard to achieve this goal.

The first stage of the Group strategy, Restore, is coming to completion, with our businesses now restructured and realigned across four core regions. We are well into the next phase of our strategy, Build, where we have also achieved some significant milestones, including the acquisition of Valemus, which now forms our Australian infrastructure business. We are now focused on extracting the maximum value from the unique combination of businesses across the Group.

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

19

Over the next two years you will see the Group continue to focus on delivery and execution of our development pipeline, successful integration of the infrastructure business in Australia, active portfolio management and positioning our offshore businesses in preparation for a market recovery.

The market environment in Australia remains relatively stable. The outlook across most of our key sectors is positive, particularly the infrastructure sector, however we remain cautious of potential factors that may impact this.

Consumer sentiment, as has been widely flagged, is impacting the residential market in the short term. However the Australian economy is performing well relative to other economies, driven by the strength of resources demand from China, low levels of unemployment and strong growth in the infrastructure sector. We remain confident about the long term outlook for Lend Lease in Australia.

We continue to see strong fundamentals across most markets in Asia and there is continued investor demand for quality assets. In the Americas, economic conditions remain uncertain and market conditions are patchy. We are establishing positions in sectors such as healthcare development through the acquisition of the Dasco business.

In the UK, we are seeing some signs of a pick-up in both the construction market and in the residential market, however market conditions do remain tough. We are confident of our ability to leverage the market recovery with our strong pipeline of urban regeneration projects.

So overall the outlook for our business and sector mix is positive. Lend Lease is well placed to deliver growth for securityholders. The integration of the infrastructure business, delivery of our exceptional development pipeline, particularly Barangaroo South, and continued recycling of capital will drive the Group’s growth over the coming years.

I would also like to take the opportunity to say thank you to Brad Soller, Group Chief Financial Officer who has chosen to leave the Group and will finish at the end of January. Thank you Brad for your hard work and contributions and it has been a pleasure working with you.

As always, our commitment to safety and sustainability will underpin all our activities, and with the ongoing hard work and dedication of our people, we look forward to progressing on our

1a ASX_Chairman and CEO_Speech Slides_2011AGM_09nov11.doc 9/11/2011

path to becoming the leading international property and infrastructure group.

I will now hand back to the Chairman.
