RESIGNATION OF DIRECTOR

International investment and specialised fund and asset management firm
Babcock & Brown (ASX: BNB) today announces the resignation of Mr Phil
Green as a Director of the Company effective 13 September 2008.
Chairman, Elizabeth Nosworthy said, “After stepping down as CEO and
Managing Director of the Company, Phil has decided that the transition from
Chief Executive and Managing Director to a Director role was a difficult
move for him to make and not in the best interests of the Company from a
corporate governance perspective or his own personal position. He has
therefore chosen to resign from the Board.”
“The Board and Senior Management team are focussing on the strategic review
and the execution on the initiatives announced on 21 August 2008 with the
Company’s interim result. Phil will be available to assist with this process if
required” she said.
A search to recruit new independent directors for the Board has commenced.
