EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM MFS Diversified Limited This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist members with the consideration of the resolutions to be put to the Meeting to be held on Thursday, 27 March 2008. This Explanatory Memorandum should be read with, and forms part of, the accompanying Notice of Meeting. SPECIAL BUSINESS Resolution - Change of name of Company The resolution is to change the name of the Company from MFS Diversified Limited to GEO Property Group Limited. Section 157 of the Corporations Act 2001 requires that in order to change its name a company must first pass a special resolution adopting the new name and then lodge an application in the prescribed form with ASIC. Once this form is lodged and provided the proposed name is available, ASIC must change the company s name by altering the details of the company s registration to reflect the change. The change of name will take effect only when ASIC alters the details of the company s registration. The Company has already reserved the name GEO Property Group Limited with ASIC thereby ensuring it will be available if the resolution is passed and an application to change the name of the Company is to be lodged. The reason for the change of name is to reflect that the Company is part of a group separate from MFS Limited. It is also intended to change the name of MFS Diversified Trust to GEO Property Trust. The Group will thereafter be known as GEO Property Group.
