Tangible Net Worth of $532 million vs covenant of $475 million

-
Gearing covenant reduces to 40 per cent in September 2010

==> picture [83 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
> Independent Directors have considered alternative options:

Recapitalisation
-
Wind up of MRZ
-
Combination of asset sales and recapitalisation
The Independent Directors believe that the merger proposal is a superior outcome to the alternative options

Independent Expert’s opinion
-
Deloitte Corporate Finance Pty Limited appointed as Independent Expert
-
The Independent Expert has concluded that the Proposal is not fair but reasonable and is in the best interests of MRZ Unitholders, in the absence of a superior proposal
-
The Independent Expert has interpreted ASIC Regulatory Guide 111 to mean that in assessing “fairness” the expert:
-
(i) should not have regard to any entity specific or structural issues such as excess gearing which may impair an entity’s ability to realise full fair market value for its assets, which may be reflected in the market price of its securities; and
-
(ii) should assume an orderly market for the underlying assets
However, in its assessment of whether the Proposal is “reasonable” and in the best interests of MRZ Unitholders, the Independent Expert was able to have regard to MRZ’s circumstances including short term debt maturities, potential covenant breaches and capital constraints which would likely adversely impact the value realisable by MRZ Unitholders on a stand alone basis.
Independent Directors’ recommendation
==> picture [83 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

the potential benefits to MRZ Unitholders as Investors in Merged Mirvac, including improved gearing, improved cost of capital and
