Dear Sir/Madam

– Macquarie Group Limited Issued Ordinary Capital and Convertible Securities – Update 1 August to 31 August 2017.

As previously advised to ASX, Macquarie Group Limited (“MGL”) did not issue any new fully paid ordinary shares during August 2017. Therefore, as at 31 August 2017, the number of MGL ordinary shares on issue remained at 340,357,903.

Further, during the month of August 2017, pursuant to the Macquarie Group Employee Retained Equity Plan (“MEREP”):

• 8,493 unlisted Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) were granted.

Taking into account other movements in the number of DSUs and unlisted Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) processed during the month, including forfeitures, exercises and adjustments, as at 31 August 2017:

• the total number of DSUs on issue was 3,455,581; and

• the total number of PSUs on issue was 1,464,367.

The total number of ordinary shares on issue noted above included 3,306,488 ordinary shares held by the MEREP Trustee in a reserve account which may be used to satisfy the obligations of MGL in respect of awards issued under the MEREP, including allocation of ordinary shares on award of RSUs and exercise of DSUs and PSUs.

As at 31 August 2017, there were 88,991 unlisted Exchangeable Shares on issue by Macquarie Capital Acquisitions (Canada) Limited, a subsidiary of MGL, pursuant to the retention agreements entered into with key Orion Financial Inc. (“Orion”) employees shortly after Macquarie completed the acquisition of Orion in December 2007 (“Orion Exchangeable Shares”).

As at 31 August 2017, there were 32,010 unlisted Exchangeable Shares on issue by Macquarie Capital Acquisitions (Canada) No.2 Limited, a subsidiary of MGL, pursuant to retention agreements entered into with key employees as part of the acquisition of Tristone Capital Global Inc. (“Tristone”) in August 2009 (“Tristone Exchangeable Shares”). There were also a further 11,295 Tristone Exchangeable Shares on issue, resulting from the exercise of retention options previously held under retention agreements with key former Tristone employees.
