Dear Sir/Madam

Completion of the FY13 MEREP buying period and the proposed allotment of awards under MEREP

Macquarie Group Limited (ASX: MQG; ADR: MQBKY) advises that the acquisition of Macquarie shares required for the financial year ended 31 March 2013 (FY13) profit share and promotion awards under the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan (MEREP) has been completed. As announced by Macquarie on 3 May 2013, the MEREP Trustee has been purchasing these shares on market. A total of approximately $A216m of MQG shares were purchased. The shares were acquired at an average purchase price of $A43.56 which will determine the number of MEREP awards staff receive in respect of the FY13 retained profit share awards under MEREP.

The Macquarie Notice of 2013 Annual General Meeting, lodged with ASX on 20 June 2013, contains a proposal for shareholder approval of the allotment of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer under MEREP with respect to FY13. The Notice states that Macquarie will, prior to the Annual General Meeting, announce to the market the conversion price for the allotment and the number of RSUs to be allocated to the CEO. The conversion price is $A43.56 and the proposed allocation is 97,531 RSUs. Further information on this proposal is set out in the Explanatory Notes on Items of Business contained in the Notice.
