NOTICE OF MEETINGDear Securityholder,
I am pleased to invite you to Stockland's 2017 Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to be held at 2.30pm
on Wednesday 25 October in The Westin Sydney, Heritage Ballroom, 1 Martin Place, Sydney. The meeting will also be webcast live on the Stockland website.
Our AGM provides an occasion to meet the Board, hear from the Managing Director, and ask any questions you may have. You are welcome to submit questions in advance by mail or via our website.
The AGM also provides the opportunity to vote on the four resolutions for securityholder approval. If you are unable to attend the meeting I encourage you to vote prior to the meeting online or using the forms that are included.
ELECTION AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The first two resolutions seeking approval are for the election of our new director, Mr Andrew Stevens, to the Board and for my re-election to the Board.
Mr Stevens joined the Board in July 2017. He is a highly regarded director with extensive expertise in the technology sector and significant commercial experience. This makes him an excellent addition to our team.
It has been an honour to serve as a Stockland Board member and as Chairman this past year. I believe my experience as a senior finance executive, as well as my substantial experience in the retailing sector, supply chain logistics, and property development and management has positioned me well for this responsibility. I look forward to continuing to do so should you support the resolution to re-elect me.
The Board unanimously recommends the re-election of both directors.
REMUNERATION REPORT, PERFORMANCE RIGHTS AND TERMINATION BENEFITS
Two further resolutions seek approval of the Remuneration Report and the grant of performance rights to
the Managing Director as part of his 2018 financial year remuneration. The Board is committed to ensuring that Stockland's executive pay is commensurate with the Group's business outcomes and achievements, and our executives must achieve stretch goals in order to earn annual bonuses and long-term incentives.
The Board unanimously recommends the approval of these two resolutions.
ADOPTION OF THE ATTRIBUTION MANAGED INVESTMENT TRUST (AMIT) REGIME
The AMIT regime is an amendment by the Australian Government to part of Australia's tax system relevant to Stockland. The ATO has stated that the new regime seeks to reduce complexity, increase certainty and minimise compliance costs for eligible managed investment trusts and their members.
Recognising the greater certainty and legislative protection afforded under the AMIT regime, Stockland has adopted the AMIT regime for the year ending 30 June 2018. This has required us to make some changes to the Stockland Trust constitution in accordance with the regulatory framework for implementing AMIT. For more information please refer to the enclosed AMIT notice and Stockland's website at www.stockland.com.au/investor-centre/securityholder- information/taxation/amit.
I look forward to speaking with you at the AGM. Yours sincerely,
TOM POCKETT
