4.8.1 Employee Investment Policy<br />

The Employee Investment Policy delineates the circumstances in which, and establishes a procedure by which,<br />

employees of the Group may invest as part of any offer, syndication or sell-down of an investment by, the Group.<br />

The primary objectives of the policy are to ensure:<br />

• Babcock & Brown employees invest on a basis which is no more favourable than the market-based<br />

arm’s-length terms upon which non-employee investors participate in an investment opportunity offered or<br />

arranged by Babcock & Brown<br />

• Guidelines are provided for prioritising the opportunity to invest as between different groups of employees,<br />

under which priority is first given to employees in the relevant Babcock & Brown Business Unit responsible<br />

for establishing the investment, followed by other employees outside of that Business Unit<br />

• Any proposed employee investment arrangements are subject to the final review and approval of the<br />

Independent Directors who are members of the Babcock & Brown Audit and Risk Management<br />

Committee, so as to ensure that the corporate interests of Babcock & Brown, its Shareholders and<br />

third party investors are being appropriately considered and protected<br />

• The dollar aggregate of all employee investment in a particular investment is not expected to exceed 50%<br />

of the total dollar amount of all third-party investment being sought by Babcock & Brown (including the<br />

employee investments)<br />

• Compliance with relevant legal and regulatory regime in the jurisdiction in which the offer is made<br />

Whilst Babcock & Brown endeavours to ensure that employees are given a reasonable opportunity to invest in<br />

accordance with its policy, it gives no assurance that employees will in fact be afforded such opportunities.<br />

4.8.2 Continuous Disclosure Policy<br />

Babcock & Brown is cognisant of its continuous disclosure reporting obligations and has a policy to enable<br />

www.babcockbrown.com, in compliance with the continuous disclosure guidelines of the ASX Listing Rules.<br />

The Babcock & Brown Company Secretary will act as the ASX Liaison Officer.<br />

• Emphasising responsibility for compliance with laws and the company’s policies and ensuring that<br />

4.8.4 Share Trading Policy<br />

The Group has implemented a Share Trading Policy which regulates the manner in which Directors and<br />

Executives can buy or sell Shares in Babcock & Brown after it is listed.<br />
