Other Disclosure Requirements

Dividend or distribution reinvestment plan details

The Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) remains activated. The DRP is optional and offers ordinary shareholders in Australia and New Zealand the opportunity to acquire fully paid ordinary shares without transaction costs. It is expected that shares allocated under the DRP will be acquired on market[(2)] and allocated on the dividend payment date. The shares will rank pari passu with other ordinary shares already on issue. The allocation price will be determined in accordance with the DRP rules as the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average market price of all Macquarie Group shares sold through a normal trade on the ASX trading system over the nine business days commencing on the third business day after the relevant Election Date, being the business day after the record date. A shareholder can elect to participate in or terminate their involvement in the DRP at any time. Election notices for participation in the DRP in relation to the final dividend to be paid on 2 July 2014 must be received by the registry by 5:00 pm on 19 May 2014 to be effective for that dividend[(3)] .

(2) Shares will be issued if purchasing becomes impractical or inadvisable.

(3) The rules of the DRP have been amended to allow DRP elections to be made up to and including the business day following the record date for the relevant dividend. This change was necessary due to changes to the ASX Listing Rules for dividend reinvestment plans.
