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 />
