Procedural Notes

Dexus is the collective name of the two Trusts (Dexus Property Trust and Dexus Operations Trust), and one unit in each of the Trusts together comprises one Security. As each Trust is a separate entity, each is required to conduct a separate meeting.

Richard Sheppard, as Chair of the meetings, has determined that because the Resolutions to be proposed at each of the two meetings and the persons eligible to vote on the Resolutions are the same, each of the two meetings will be conducted concurrently so that, from an administrative and attendee point of view, the conduct of the meetings will be as if they were one single Meeting.

Quorum

The quorum necessary for this Meeting is 20 Security holders present in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the scheduled time for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned as the Chair directs. For this Meeting, a quorum may be met by counting Security holders (including by proxy) attending via the online AGM platform.

Direct voting at the Meeting

As there will be no physical meeting, the only way for you to vote at the Meeting is for you to do so by direct voting. The Directors have determined that at the Meeting, a Security holder who is entitled to vote on a Resolution is entitled to a direct vote in respect of that Resolution. The Directors have also approved the use of the Link Market Services Limited real-time online AGM platform as a means of delivering a direct vote.

If you wish to cast a direct vote at the Meeting, you should attend the Meeting online on Tuesday, 19 October 2021 via the link available at www.dexus.com/

AGM

Registration commences at 1.30pm (AEDST) with the Meeting to commence at 2.00pm online.
