Dear Trizec Canada Shareholder:
     You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the shareholders of Trizec Canada Inc. to be held on September 12, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) at The Design Exchange, Patty Watt Room, 234 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario. The meeting has been called to seek your approval for a proposed arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act involving Trizec Canada, its shareholders and a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company to be formed and which will be an affiliate of Brookfield Properties Corporation (failing which 4162862 Canada Limited, a corporation affiliated with Brookfield Properties Corporation, will replace such company).
     Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties, Inc. have entered into an agreement and plan of merger and arrangement agreement, as amended, pursuant to which (i) an entity to be jointly owned by affiliates of Brookfield Properties Corporation and The Blackstone Group would acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Trizec Properties that are not owned by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries for US$29.01 per share in cash, plus an additional cash amount representing a pro rata portion of any unpaid regular quarterly dividend payable with respect to such shares, and (ii) Trizec Canada shareholders would dispose of all of the outstanding multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares to Trizec Canada or an affiliate of Brookfield Properties Corporation (including additional subordinate voting shares to be issued under the arrangement) for US$30.97 in cash, plus an additional cash amount representing a pro rata portion of any unpaid regular quarterly dividend, per Trizec Canada share outstanding immediately before the arrangement. The US$30.97 component of the arrangement consideration represents US$29.01 attributable to the shares of Trizec Properties common stock indirectly owned by Trizec Canada plus an additional US$1.96 which reflects the agreed value of Trizec Canada’s net other assets. The US$30.97 component of the arrangement consideration represents an approximate 30% premium over the closing price for Trizec Canada’s subordinate voting shares of Cdn.$26.19 (US$23.79) on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 2, 2006 and an approximate 35% premium over the average closing price for those shares for the ten trading days ended June 2, 2006, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the proposed transaction.
     On June 4, 2006, RBC Capital Markets, the financial advisor to Trizec Canada, delivered to the Board of Directors its opinion that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the various factors, assumptions and limitations set forth therein, the consideration to be received pursuant to the arrangement is fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of Trizec Canada. A copy of the RBC Capital Markets. opinion is included as Annex E to the management information circular accompanying this letter. Based on various factors, including the RBC Capital Markets, opinion, the Board of Directors of Trizec Canada has concluded that the arrangement is fair to Trizec Canada’s shareholders and in the best interests of Trizec Canada.
     The resolution approving the arrangement must be approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at the meeting by shareholders of Trizec Canada present in person or represented by proxy. The arrangement is also subject to certain regulatory approvals and the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The Board of Directors of Trizec Canada recommends that Trizec Canada shareholders vote FOR the arrangement resolution. The Board of Directors of Trizec Properties has also recommended that stockholders of Trizec Properties vote for the adoption of the agreement and plan of merger and arrangement agreement, as amended.
     Enclosed is a notice of meeting, a management information circular, a form of proxy (printed on blue paper) and a letter of transmittal (printed on yellow paper). The letter of transmittal includes a tax election available to eligible persons that shareholders should consider carefully. The information circular, which we urge you to read carefully in consultation with your financial or professional advisor, provides a detailed description of the arrangement and includes certain other information, including the full text of the agreement and plan of merger and arrangement agreement, as amended, relating to the transaction and the RBC Capital Markets opinion, to assist you in considering the matter to be voted upon.
     Your vote is important regardless of how many shares of Trizec Canada you own. We hope that you will be able to attend the meeting. If you are unable to attend the meeting in person, we would appreciate your returning the proxy enclosed herein, duly completed and signed, prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Friday, September 8, 2006, to ensure that your vote is recorded. We also encourage you to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions set out therein and in the accompanying circular so that if the proposed arrangement is approved and the proposed transaction completed, the consideration for your shares can be sent to you as soon as practicable following the effective date of the arrangement. If you hold shares of Trizec Canada through a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company or other intermediary, you should contact such intermediary for instructions and assistance in voting your shares at the meeting and delivering the shares that you hold. If you have any questions or need assistance regarding the completion and delivery of your form of proxy or letter of transmittal, please call our proxy solicitor, Kingsdale Shareholder Services Inc., toll-free at 1-866-381-4104.
     On behalf of the Trizec Canada Board of Directors, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the support you have shown as shareholders of Trizec Canada.
     
Yours very truly,

The Arrangement and the Mergers
      The following contains only a summary of the Arrangement. Trizec Canada Shareholders are urged to read in its entirety the Merger and Arrangement Agreement reproduced as Annex D and the Plan of Arrangement attached as Annex G to this Circular. See also the headings “The Arrangement” and “The Mergers” in this Circular for further information.
      The Arrangement
      The Arrangement effects a series of transactions as a result of which (i) Trizec Canada will acquire for cancellation the Trizec Canada Shares held by Certifying Shareholders that have elected in their Letter of Transmittal to have their Trizec Canada Shares dealt with in this manner and (ii) Trizec Canada will pay to all remaining Trizec Canada Shareholders a capital gains dividend to be satisfied by the issuance in respect of each outstanding Trizec Canada Share of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share, following which Newco will acquire all of the remaining Trizec Canada Shares including those issued pursuant to the share dividend to remaining Trizec Canada Shareholders, in each case for consideration equal to the Arrangement Consideration, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Arrangement Consideration will be paid in U.S. dollars. The aggregate cash consideration receivable under the Arrangement by a Trizec Canada Shareholder will be the same whether it makes the election as a Certifying Shareholder to dispose of its Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada or whether its Trizec Canada Shares are acquired by Newco.
      Pursuant to the Arrangement, commencing at the effective time of the Arrangement (being 12:01 a.m. on the Effective Date) and ending no later than 9:00 a.m. on the Effective Date, each of the events listed below will occur and be deemed to occur, except as otherwise noted, one minute apart and in the following sequence without any further authorization, act or formality:
  (a) all Trizec Canada Stock Options will become fully vested and exercisable, whether or not vested or subject to any performance condition that has not been satisfied, and regardless of the exercise price thereof;
 
  (b) each “in-the-money” Trizec Canada Stock Option will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment from Trizec Canada equal to the excess of the Arrangement Consideration per Trizec Canada Share over the U.S. dollar equivalent of the exercise price of such Trizec Canada Stock Option;
 
  (c) each “out-of-the-money” Trizec Canada Stock Option will be cancelled and be of no further force and effect;

Table of Contents

  (d) Newco will advance to Trizec Canada, and Trizec Canada will borrow from Newco, an amount that, in addition to Trizec Canada’s cash on hand after subtracting the amount payable by Trizec Canada pursuant to (b) and a reasonable reserve, will enable Trizec Canada to satisfy its obligations pursuant to (e);
 
  (e) each Trizec Canada Share held by a Certifying Shareholder in respect of which such Trizec Canada Shareholder has elected in its Letter of Transmittal to be dealt with in this manner will be transferred by the holder thereof to and be acquired by Trizec Canada for cancellation, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances in exchange for cash payment by Trizec Canada equal to the sum of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount and will be cancelled;
 
  (f) Trizec Canada will pay to the holders of Trizec Canada Shares, on each outstanding Trizec Canada Share (including, for greater certainty, each such share held by Dissenting Shareholders and excluding, for greater certainty, the Trizec Canada Shares acquired and cancelled by Trizec Canada in (e)), a capital gains dividend in an amount equal to $7.50, the full and final payment of such dividend to be satisfied by the issuance by Trizec Canada in respect of each such outstanding Trizec Canada Share of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share equal to the quotient determined when (i) $7.50 is divided by (ii) $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount less $7.50, and there will be added to Trizec Canada’s capital account in respect of the Subordinate Voting Shares an amount equal to the aggregate dividend;
 
  (g) each Trizec Canada Share together with the fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued in connection with such Trizec Canada Share pursuant to (f) (other than any Subordinate Voting Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders and fractional shares issued to such Dissenting Shareholders) will be transferred by the holder thereof to and be acquired by Newco, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances, in exchange for a cash payment by Newco equal to the sum of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount, which Arrangement Consideration will be the aggregate consideration payable in respect of each Trizec Canada Share and fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued in connection with such Trizec Canada Share pursuant to (f); and
 
  (h) each Subordinate Voting Share, together with the fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued in connection with such Trizec Canada Share pursuant to (f), held by a Trizec Canada Shareholder who has validly exercised Dissent Rights will be transferred by such Trizec Canada Shareholder to and be acquired by Newco, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances, and, in exchange therefor, such Trizec Canada Shareholder will have the right to be paid fair value for such Subordinate Voting Share in accordance with the Dissent Procedures.
      The $30.97 component of the Arrangement Consideration to be received by the Trizec Canada Shareholders represents $29.01 attributable to the shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock indirectly owned by Trizec Canada plus an additional $1.96 which reflects the agreed amount payable on account of Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets.
      Assuming the conditions set out in the Merger and Arrangement Agreement have been satisfied or waived by the parties, upon obtaining the Final Order, Trizec Canada will file the Articles of Arrangement with the CBCA Director as soon as practicable thereafter, at which time the Arrangement will become effective. Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Trizec Canada will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newco.
      The Mergers
      Pursuant to the Trizec Properties Merger, Mergerco will merge with and into Trizec Properties, Mergerco’s separate corporate existence will cease, and Trizec Properties will survive the merger with Parent owning all of Trizec Properties Common Stock not owned by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries. In the Trizec Properties Merger, each share of Trizec Properties Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Trizec Properties Merger (other than shares held in treasury or owned by Trizec Canada, its subsidiaries, Parent and its affiliates, and shares held by dissenting Trizec Properties Common Stockholders) will be converted into, and cancelled in exchange for, one share of newly created, fully paid and non-assessable redeemable preferred stock of the surviving corporation. Immediately after the completion of the Trizec Properties Merger, each share of redeemable preferred stock will be redeemed without further action on the part of the holder thereof for the right to receive $29.01 in cash plus an additional cash amount that represents a pro rata portion of the regular quarterly dividend payable on Trizec Properties Common Stock and allocable to the quarter in which the Trizec Properties Merger closes, in each case, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. Immediately after the completion of the Trizec Properties Merger, Merger Operating Company will pursuant to the Operating Company Merger merge with and into Trizec Operating Company, Merger

Operating Company’s separate existence will cease and Trizec Operating Company will survive the merger and continue to exist with the surviving corporation of the Trizec Properties Merger being its sole managing member. In the Operating Company Merger, each common unit of limited liability company interest (other than units held by Trizec Properties and its subsidiaries) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Operating Company Merger will be converted into, and cancelled in exchange for, one newly created and fully paid redeemable preferred unit. Holders of such redeemable preferred units will be entitled to elect to (i) redeem each such redeemable preferred unit at any time (including immediately after the effective time of the Operating Company Merger) in exchange for an amount per unit equal to $29.01 in cash plus an additional cash amount that represents a pro rata portion of the regular quarterly dividend payable on Trizec Properties Common Stock and allocable to the quarter in which the Trizec Properties Merger closes, in each case without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions on such redeemable preferred units, (ii) retain each such redeemable preferred unit, or (iii) convert each such redeemable preferred unit on a one-for-one basis within 15 days following the Operating Company Merger into a Class B common unit in the surviving operating company.
      It is contemplated that the Mergers will be completed on the same date as the Arrangement. The following chart shows the organizational structure of the Trizec Related Entities immediately prior to, and after, the Arrangement and the Mergers:

Recommendation of the Trizec Canada Board
      After careful consideration by the Trizec Canada Board (with Mr. Peter Munk recusing himself), the Trizec Canada Board has concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Trizec Canada and is fair to Trizec Canada Shareholders. Accordingly, the Trizec Canada Board recommends that Trizec Canada Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. For a description of the factors considered by the Trizec Canada Board in reaching its conclusions, see the heading “Reasons for the Arrangement and Recommendation of the Trizec Canada Board” in this Circular.
RBC Fairness Opinion

      Restrictions on Solicitation of Competing Transactions

  initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information or assistance) any inquiries or the making of any proposal or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal;

      Trizec Canada has agreed to promptly notify Parent (but not less than 24 hours after initial receipt) of its receipt of any Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal.

Court and Regulatory Approvals
      Court Approval and Completion of the Arrangement
      The Arrangement requires Court approval under the CBCA. The court proceeding necessary to obtain that approval was commenced on August 1, 2006 by Notice of Application in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The Notice of Application is set forth in Annex B to this Circular. On August 8, 2006, prior to the mailing of this Circular, the Interim Order was granted providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and certain other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order is set forth in Annex C to this Circular.
      Following approval of the Arrangement by the Trizec Canada Shareholders, at a hearing scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on September 14, 2006 in the Court at 393 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, an application will be made to the Court for the Final Order. The Court in hearing the motion for the Final Order will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. See the heading “Principal Legal Matters — Court Approval and Completion of the Arrangement” in this Circular.
      Assuming that the Final Order is granted, and that the other conditions set forth in the Merger and Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, the Articles of Arrangement will be filed with the CBCA Director to give effect to the Arrangement and all other arrangements and documents necessary to complete the Arrangement will be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
      Competition Act (Canada)
      Under the Competition Act, a Notifiable Transaction will require prior notice to the Commissioner unless the Commissioner issues an advance ruling certificate under section 102 of the Competition Act or waives the filing obligation in respect of the transaction. If a transaction is a Notifiable Transaction, it may not be completed until the applicable statutory waiting period of either 14 or 42 days has expired, or until the Commissioner has either issued an advance ruling certificate or, in lieu of issuing such certificate, has waived the filing obligation. However, the Commissioner’s review of a transaction may take longer than the statutory waiting period.
      The Arrangement is a Notifiable Transaction. Brookfield Properties filed a request for an advanced ruling certificate with the Commissioner on July 27, 2006 and received such certificate on August 2, 2006.

      Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
      The HSR Act provides that transactions such as the Trizec Properties Merger may not be completed until certain information has been submitted to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. On July 21, 2006, entities and individuals who are deemed to control Trizec Properties and Brookfield Properties under the HSR Act and related regulations filed a Notification and Report Form with such Antitrust Division and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and requested an early termination of the waiting period. Early termination was granted by the relevant authorities on July 28, 2006.
Principal Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
      The receipt of the Arrangement Consideration by Trizec Canada Shareholders as a result of the Arrangement will be a taxable transaction for Canadian and U.S. federal income tax purposes. The precise tax consequences of the Arrangement may depend on whether or not a Trizec Canada Shareholder is a Certifying Shareholder that makes the election to dispose of its Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. In certain circumstances, as described under the headings “Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Principal U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and in Question 4 under “Questions and Answers about the Meeting and the Arrangement”, an Eligible Person who does not elect to dispose of its Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada as permitted under the Plan of Arrangement may suffer adverse tax consequences, and Trizec Canada Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard. Trizec Canada Shareholders should read the information under the headings “Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Principal U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular for a more complete discussion of the Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.
Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights
      Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares who do not vote for the Arrangement Resolution will be granted Dissent Rights and may seek appraisal of the fair value of their Subordinate Voting Shares if the Arrangement is completed, but only if they comply with the Dissent Procedures under the CBCA, the terms of the Arrangement and the Interim Order, which are summarized under the heading “Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights” in this Circular. Under the PMC Support Agreement, P.M. Capital, the holder of all of the Multiple Voting Shares, has already agreed to vote for the Arrangement Resolution and therefore Dissent Rights are available only to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares. The appraisal amount that a Dissenting Shareholder could be entitled to receive following the exercise of his or her Dissent Rights could be more than, the same as, or less than the amount a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares would be entitled to receive under the terms of the Arrangement. A Trizec Canada Shareholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights must provide to Trizec Canada (at BCE Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3820, Box 800, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T3, Attn: Corporate Secretary), prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day immediately preceding the Meeting (or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof), a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution. Your failure to follow exactly the Dissent Procedures specified under the CBCA, as amended by the Interim Order and the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, will result in the loss of your Dissent Rights. If you are considering exercising Dissent Rights, we encourage you to seek the advice of your own legal counsel.

is not authorized or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation of an offer or proxy solicitation. Neither the delivery of this Circular nor any distribution referred to in this Circular will, under any circumstances, create an implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Circular.
NOTICE TO NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS
      The Meeting Materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered beneficial holders of Trizec Canada Shares. Only registered Trizec Canada Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. A person (a “Non-Registered Shareholder”) who beneficially owns Trizec Canada Shares through an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) such as a broker, investment dealer, bank, trust company, trustee or administrator is not a registered Trizec Canada Shareholder. There are two kinds of Non-Registered Shareholders — those who object to their name being made known to Trizec Canada (called OBOs or objecting beneficial owners) and those who do not object to Trizec Canada knowing who they are (called NOBOs or non-objecting beneficial owners). Provided Trizec Canada complies with the applicable provisions of Canadian securities legislation, Trizec Canada can request and obtain a list of its NOBOs from Intermediaries via the Transfer Agent. Trizec Canada has decided to take advantage of those provisions of securities legislation that permit it to directly deliver the Meeting Materials to its NOBOs. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder and Trizec Canada or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Trizec Canada Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities legislation from the Intermediary holding the Trizec Canada Shares on your behalf.
      In accordance with applicable securities laws, Trizec Canada is distributing copies of the Meeting Materials to clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders. Intermediaries are required to forward Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either (i) be sent by the Intermediary a pre-signed form of proxy for the number of Trizec Canada Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder, which must be completed by the Non-Registered Shareholder, or (ii) receive a request for voting instruction form which must be completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder. The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Trizec Canada Shares they beneficially own. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own signing and return instructions. Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary to ensure that their Trizec Canada Shares are voted at the Meeting in accordance with their instructions. Non-Registered Shareholders should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in surrendering the Trizec Canada Shares beneficially held by such Non-Registered Shareholders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING
AND THE ARRANGEMENT
      The following questions and answers address briefly some questions you may have regarding the Meeting and the proposed Arrangement involving Trizec Canada and the proposed Trizec Properties Merger. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a Trizec Canada Shareholder. Please refer to the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this Circular, as well as the additional documents attached hereto or incorporated by reference herein, including the Merger and Arrangement Agreement reproduced as Annex D to this Circular and the Plan of Arrangement reproduced as Annex G to this Circular. Certain capitalized terms used in the following questions and answers are defined in the Glossary on pages 10 to 15 of this Circular.
1.      What is the proposed transaction?
      The proposed transaction is the acquisition of Trizec Canada by an affiliate of Brookfield Properties and the acquisition of Trizec Properties and Trizec Operating Company by a subsidiary of an entity to be jointly owned by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone pursuant to the Merger and Arrangement Agreement. If Trizec Canada Shareholders approve the Arrangement Resolution and the other closing conditions under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement have been satisfied or waived, including the adoption of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement by the Trizec Properties Common Stockholders and the issuance of the Final Order by the Court, (i) Trizec Canada will acquire for cancellation the Trizec Canada Shares held by Certifying Shareholders that have elected in their Letter of Transmittal to have their Trizec Canada Shares dealt with in this manner and (ii) Trizec Canada will pay to all remaining Trizec Canada Shareholders a capital gains dividend to be satisfied by the issuance in respect of each outstanding Trizec Canada Share of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share, following which Newco will acquire all of the remaining outstanding Trizec Canada Shares, including those issued pursuant to the share dividend to remaining Trizec Canada Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement. In addition, pursuant to the Trizec Properties Merger, Mergerco will merge with and into Trizec Properties, with Trizec Properties surviving the merger, resulting in Parent owning all of the outstanding Trizec Properties Common Stock not owned by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries. In addition, Merger Operating Company will merge with and into Trizec Operating Company, with Trizec Operating Company surviving the merger and continuing to exist as a subsidiary of Trizec Properties. After the consummation of the Mergers and the Arrangement, Parent will own approximately 61.9% of the outstanding shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock, and Newco will own, indirectly through its 100% ownership of the outstanding shares of Trizec Canada, the remaining outstanding shares of Trizec Properties. The Mergers are expected to occur on the same day as the Arrangement. For additional information about the Mergers and the Arrangement, please review the Merger and Arrangement Agreement attached hereto as Annex D and the Plan of Arrangement attached hereto as Annex G. We encourage you to read the Merger and Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement carefully and in their entirety, as they are the principal documents governing the Arrangement and the Mergers.
2.      As a Trizec Canada Shareholder, what will I receive as a result of the Arrangement?
      Trizec Canada Shareholders that are Certifying Shareholders will receive in the Arrangement, for each Trizec Canada Share such Certifying Shareholder elects to have transferred to Trizec Canada for cancellation in the Letter of Transmittal, consideration in an amount equal to the sum of $30.97 in cash plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount. In respect of all other Trizec Canada Shares (other than those held by Dissenting Shareholders), Trizec Canada Shareholders will receive in the Arrangement (i) on each Trizec Canada Share a capital gains dividend, which dividend will be satisfied by the issuance of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share, and (ii) for each Trizec Canada Share together with the fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued in connection therewith, aggregate consideration in an amount equal to the sum of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount. The $30.97 component of the Arrangement Consideration represents $29.01 attributable to Trizec Properties Common Stock that Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries own plus an additional $1.96, which represents the agreed value of Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets. Payment of the Arrangement Consideration will be made without interest and less applicable withholding taxes.
3.      Is the Arrangement Consideration expected to be taxable to Trizec Canada Shareholders?
      Yes. The receipt of the Arrangement Consideration by Trizec Canada Shareholders as a result of the Arrangement will be a taxable transaction for Canadian and U.S. federal income tax purposes. The precise tax consequences of the Arrangement may depend on whether or not you are a Certifying Shareholder that makes the election to dispose of its Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. In certain circumstances, as described

19


Table of Contents

under the headings “Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Principal U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” and in Question 4 below, an Eligible Person who does not elect to dispose of its Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada as permitted under the Plan of Arrangement may suffer adverse tax consequences, and holders of Subordinate Voting Shares should consult their own tax advisors in this regard. You should read the information under the headings “Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Principal U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular for a more complete discussion of the Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement. Tax matters can be complicated, and the tax consequences of the Arrangement to you will depend on your particular tax situation. You are urged to consult your professional tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement to you.
4.      What are the consequences of being a Certifying Shareholder and Disposing of Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada?
      Under the Plan of Arrangement, Trizec Canada Shareholders (other than Certifying Shareholders for Trizec Canada Shares they have elected to have transferred to Trizec Canada for cancellation) will receive a dividend of $7.50 per Trizec Canada Share. This dividend will be paid by the issuance of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share for each Trizec Canada Share. (The precise fraction of a Subordinate Voting Share will depend on the actual amount of the Quarterly Dividend Amount which is not determinable at this time; by way of example, if the Quarterly Dividend Amount is assumed to be $0.01, the dividend will be paid by the issuance of approximately 0.3194 of a Subordinate Voting Share for each Trizec Canada Share.) Under the Plan of Arrangement, each outstanding Trizec Canada Share on which the dividend is paid, together with the fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued as a dividend, will be sold for the Arrangement Consideration (using the foregoing example, representing a sale price of approximately $23.48 per Trizec Canada Share after giving effect to such share dividend). The fraction of a Subordinate Voting Share and the sale price per Trizec Canada Share (after giving effect to the share dividend) will depend on the actual Quarterly Dividend Amount on the Effective Date. The Canadian dollar equivalent of the per share sale price, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, may be less than a Trizec Canada Shareholder’s adjusted cost base in a Trizec Canada Share, resulting in a loss on the disposition of the Trizec Canada Share for purposes of the Tax Act. (For this purpose, the Subordinate Voting Shares issued on the payment of the dividend must be taken into account in determining a Trizec Canada Shareholder’s adjusted cost base in its Subordinate Voting Shares.) In certain circumstances this loss may be denied to the extent the Trizec Canada Shareholder received dividends (including any ordinary course dividend declared and paid to Trizec Canada Shareholders after the date hereof, but not including the dividend paid in Subordinate Voting Shares as part of the Plan of Arrangement) on the Trizec Canada Share. To avoid this potential result, Trizec Canada Shareholders who qualify as Eligible Persons may elect, by returning to the Depositary (as soon as possible but no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 29, 2006) a duly completed Letter of Transmittal reflecting such election together with the share certificate(s) representing their Trizec Canada Shares, to dispose of their existing Trizec Canada Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement immediately prior to the payment of the capital gains dividend, for a sale price of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount. Trizec Canada Shareholders who will not have a loss on the disposition of their Trizec Canada Shares, taking into account the matters described above, or who, at the effective time of the Plan of Arrangement, have not received dividends on their Trizec Canada Shares will not be subject to these loss denial rules under the Tax Act. Trizec Canada Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding whether they are entitled to elect, and would benefit from electing, to dispose of their Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada pursuant to the Arrangement.
      Under the Plan of Arrangement, U.S. Holders (other than Certifying Shareholders for Trizec Canada Shares they have elected to have transferred to Trizec Canada for cancellation) will also receive the capital gains dividend described above. Although the matter is not free from doubt, Trizec Canada intends to treat the distributions of fractional Subordinate Voting Shares as part of the Arrangement as a non-taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is possible, however, that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service could attempt to treat this distribution as a taxable dividend under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code. In this eventuality, if a U.S. Holder recognized a capital loss on the exchange of its remaining Subordinate Voting Shares to Newco as part of the Arrangement, its ability to use this loss to offset any potential income inclusion if the distribution was treated as a taxable dividend could be limited. To avoid any potential uncertainty regarding the proper treatment of the distribution of fractional Subordinate Voting Shares, Trizec U.S. Holders who qualify as Eligible Persons may elect, by returning to the Depositary (as soon as possible but no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 29, 2006) a duly completed Letter of Transmittal reflecting such election together with

20


Table of Contents

the share certificate(s) representing their Trizec Canada Shares, to dispose of their existing Trizec Canada Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement immediately prior to the payment of the capital gains dividend described above, for a per share sale price of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding whether they would benefit from electing to dispose of their Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada pursuant to the Arrangement.
      Trizec Canada Shareholders should consult the information under the headings “Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Principal U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular for a more complete discussion of the Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement.
5.      Will Certifying Shareholders receive more or less aggregate consideration than Trizec Canada Shareholders who do not make the election?
      No. The aggregate cash consideration receivable under the Arrangement by a Trizec Canada Shareholder will be the same whether it makes the election as a Certifying Shareholder to dispose of its Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada or whether its Trizec Canada Shares are acquired by Newco.
6.      I hold Trizec Canada Stock Options. What will I receive in the Arrangement?
      For each outstanding Trizec Canada Stock Option you hold, you will receive cash in the amount by which (i) the sum of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount exceeds (ii) the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by the noon exchange rate of the Bank of Canada on the business day immediately preceding the Effective Date) of the price at which such Trizec Canada Stock Option may be exercised, and such option will be cancelled. If the U.S. dollar equivalent of the exercise price of an option is equal to or greater than the amount described above, such option will be cancelled for no consideration. Payment of the consideration to holders of Trizec Canada Stock Options entitled thereto will be made without interest and less applicable withholding taxes.
7.      How does the $30.97 component of the Arrangement Consideration compare to the market price of the Subordinate Voting Shares?
      Based on the closing rate of exchange of 1.1009 as quoted by the Bank of Canada on June 2, 2006, the last trading day before the public announcement of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, the $30.97 component of the Arrangement Consideration equates to approximately Cdn.$34.09, which represents an approximate 30% premium over the closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX on such date and an approximate 35% premium over the average closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX for the ten trading days ended June 2, 2006. RBC has reviewed the publicly available historical trading prices for the Subordinate Voting Shares, as reported by the TSX, and noted that over the 12-month period ended June 2, 2006, the low price was Cdn.$21.01 per Subordinate Voting Share and the high price was Cdn.$29.00 per Subordinate Voting Share, which also represents the all-time high share price for the Subordinate Voting Shares since May 8, 2002, the date on which the Subordinate Voting Shares were admitted for listing on the TSX.
8.      Will I receive any regular quarterly dividends with respect to the Trizec Canada Shares that I own?
      Yes. Trizec Canada anticipates that the Arrangement will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2006, and Trizec Canada Shareholders will receive the regular quarterly dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2006. In addition, the Arrangement Consideration includes a Quarterly Dividend Amount equal to a pro rata portion of the unpaid regular quarterly dividend payable on Trizec Canada Shares and allocable to the quarter in which the Arrangement closes. Under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, prior to the Effective Date Trizec Canada is permitted to continue to declare and pay regular quarterly dividends of up to $0.20 per Trizec Canada Share. Trizec Canada currently expects to declare a dividend with respect to the third quarter with a record date on or about September 28, 2006.
9.      The press release announcing the transaction indicated that holders of Trizec Canada Shares may be given an option to receive a portion of the consideration under Arrangement in the form of preferred shares of Brookfield Properties. Is this option being made available?
      No. Brookfield Properties has determined that an option to receive a portion of the consideration under the Arrangement in the form of preferred shares of Brookfield Properties will not be made available.

Table of Contents

10.      What currency will the Arrangement Consideration be paid in?
      The Arrangement Consideration will be denominated in U.S. dollars and not Canadian dollars.
11.      What will the Trizec Properties Common Stockholders receive as a result of the Merger?
      Trizec Properties Common Stockholders, other than Trizec Canada, its subsidiaries, Parent, Mergerco and holders who are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law, will receive for each share of Trizec Properties Common Stock that they own at the effective time of the Trizec Properties Merger, one share of redeemable preferred stock, which will be redeemed immediately after the Trizec Properties Merger, without any action by the Trizec Properties Common Stockholders, for $29.01 in cash plus an additional cash amount equal to a pro rata portion of the unpaid regular quarterly dividends payable on Trizec Properties Common Stock up to the date on which the Trizec Properties Merger closes, in each case without interest and less applicable withholding taxes.
12.      Will my vote be required in connection with the Mergers?
      No. The Mergers are not being voted on by Trizec Canada Shareholders. Accordingly, unless you hold shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock, you will not be entitled to vote on the Mergers nor is your vote being sought by this Circular, and you will not receive the consideration payable in connection with the Mergers.
      If you hold shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock, however, Trizec Properties will mail to you a separate proxy statement regarding the Trizec Properties Merger. This Circular does not constitute any solicitation of votes in respect of the Trizec Properties Merger. Information about the Mergers and Trizec Properties is being provided in this Circular only to the extent that it is relevant to, and to assist your understanding of, the Arrangement and the Merger and Arrangement Agreement.
13.      When do you expect the Arrangement to be completed?
      Trizec Canada is working toward completing the Arrangement as quickly as possible and anticipates that it will be completed during the fourth quarter of 2006. If Trizec Canada Shareholders vote to approve the Arrangement Resolution, Trizec Properties Common Stockholders vote to adopt the Merger and Arrangement Agreement and the other conditions to the Arrangement and the Mergers are satisfied or waived, it is anticipated that the Arrangement will become effective as soon as practicable following the Meeting and is expected to occur between the tenth and twentieth business day following the issuance of the Final Order.
14.      If the Arrangement is completed, when can I expect to receive the Arrangement Consideration for my Trizec Canada Shares?
      Provided that you have completed the Letter of Transmittal accompanying this Circular and you have validly deposited your Trizec Canada Shares as provided therein, promptly following the completion of the Arrangement, the Depositary will forward or hold for pick up your Arrangement Consideration, as you have instructed pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal.
15.      When and where is the Meeting?
      The Meeting will take place on September 12, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time), at The Design Exchange, Patty Watt Room, 234 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario.
16.      Who can attend and vote at the Meeting and what is the quorum for the Meeting?
      All Trizec Canada Shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 3, 2006, the Record Date for the Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and attend the Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof. As of the Record Date, there were 52,400,097 Subordinate Voting Shares and 7,522,283 Multiple Voting Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

      The Meeting Materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered beneficial holders of Trizec Canada Shares. Only registered Trizec Canada Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder and your Trizec Canada Shares are held on your behalf in the name of an Intermediary, please see the heading “Notice to Non-Registered Shareholders” in this Circular.
      The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least two persons entitled to vote and holding at least 15% of the total number of issued and outstanding voting shares is necessary for a quorum at the Meeting. The failure of any Trizec Canada Shareholder to receive notice of the Meeting does not deprive such shareholder of a vote at the Meeting.
17.      What vote of Trizec Canada Shareholders is required in connection with the approval of the Arrangement Resolution?
      The approval of the Arrangement Resolution requires the affirmative vote of 662/3% of the votes cast by Trizec Canada Shareholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, with the Subordinate Voting Shares voting on a one-vote-per-share basis and the Multiple Voting Shares being entitled, in accordance with the Articles of Trizec Canada and the Voting Trust Agreement, to vote a simple majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter by all holders of voting securities of Trizec Canada in the aggregate.
18.      What is required to adjourn the Meeting?
      The Interim Order provides that Trizec Canada, if it deems advisable, may adjourn or postpone the Meeting on one or more occasions, without the necessity of first convening the Meeting or first obtaining any vote of Trizec Canada Shareholders respecting the adjournment or postponement. Notice of any such adjournment or postponement will be given by press release, newspaper advertisement, or by one of the other methods permitted by the Interim Order, as determined to be the most appropriate method of communication by the Trizec Canada Board.
19.      How does the Trizec Canada Board recommend that I vote?
      After careful consideration by the Trizec Canada Board (with Mr. Peter Munk recusing himself), the Trizec Canada Board has concluded that the Arrangement is in the best interests of Trizec Canada and is fair to Trizec Canada Shareholders. Accordingly, the Trizec Canada Board recommends that Trizec Canada Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. For a description of the factors considered by the Trizec Canada Board in reaching its conclusions, see the heading “Reasons for the Arrangement and Recommendations of the Trizec Canada Board” in this Circular.
20.      Do any of Trizec Canada’s senior officers and directors have any interest in the Arrangement or the Mergers?
      Yes. Certain senior officers and directors of Trizec Canada may have interests in the Arrangement and the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, those of Trizec Canada Shareholders, including the consideration that they would receive in connection with the Arrangement and the Mergers with respect to their Trizec Canada Stock Options and Trizec Properties Warrants. Further, certain senior officers are entitled to severance payments and benefits following the Arrangement.
      Mr. Peter Munk, the chairman and chief executive officer of Trizec Canada, as an indirect holder of Trizec Canada Shares and holder of Trizec Canada Stock Options, will receive the Arrangement Consideration with respect to such shares and options in connection with the Arrangement, and certain of Trizec Canada’s other directors and senior officers also own Subordinate Voting Shares and Trizec Canada Stock Options in respect of which they will receive the Arrangement Consideration. See the heading “The Arrangement — Interests of Directors and Senior Officers in the Arrangement and Related Transactions” in this Circular for additional information about possible interests that senior officers and directors of Trizec Canada may have in the Arrangement and the Mergers that are different than, or in addition to, those of other Trizec Canada Shareholders.
21.      How do I cast my vote?
      If you are a registered Trizec Canada Shareholder, there are two ways to vote your Trizec Canada Shares. You may vote in person at the Meeting or you may vote by submitting your proxy by mail in accordance with the instructions contained in the enclosed form of proxy.

Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives either a form of proxy or a voting instruction form from its Intermediary wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder’s (or such other person’s) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form provided by an Intermediary, follow the instructions on the form.
22.      What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote?
      If you abstain from voting or fail to vote, the votes represented by your Trizec Canada Shares will not be taken into account in determining whether the Arrangement Resolution has been approved by the requisite majority.
23.      How will proxy holders vote my Trizec Canada Shares?
      Trizec Canada Shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions of the Trizec Canada Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the Trizec Canada Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, Trizec Canada Shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted accordingly. If no choice is specified with respect to such matter, the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy will vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, the management of Trizec Canada knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters that may come before the Meeting.
      The persons named in the form of proxy accompanying this Circular are representatives of management of Trizec Canada and are directors or officers of Trizec Canada. A Trizec Canada Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Trizec Canada Shareholder) to represent the Trizec Canada Shareholder at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the accompanying form of proxy. Such right may be exercised by inserting the name of such person in the blank space provided in the form of proxy.
24.      Can I change my vote after I have mailed my form of proxy?
      Yes. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Trizec Canada Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke the proxy by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the Trizec Canada Shareholder or the Trizec Canada Shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing (i) at the executive offices of Trizec Canada at BCE Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3820, Box 800, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T3, addressed to the attention of the Corporate Secretary, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof, or (ii) with the scrutineers of the Meeting, to the attention of the chair of the Meeting, at or immediately prior to the commencement of the Meeting or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof.
      A Non-Registered Shareholder must comply with the applicable requirements of its Intermediary in order to revoke voting instructions. Generally, a Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a form of waiver of the right to receive the Meeting Materials and to vote given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary, except that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or a form of waiver of the right to receive Meeting Materials and to vote that is not received by the Intermediary at least seven days prior to the Meeting.
25.      What happens if I sell my shares before the Meeting?
      If you held your Trizec Canada Shares on the Record Date but sell or transfer them prior to the Effective Date, you will retain your right to vote at the Meeting, but not the right to receive the Arrangement Consideration in respect of

24


Table of Contents

those Trizec Canada Shares. The right to receive the Arrangement Consideration will pass to the person who owns the Trizec Canada Shares you previously owned at the time that the Arrangement becomes effective.
26.      Should I send in my Trizec Canada Share certificates now?
      Yes. The Letter of Transmittal (printed on yellow paper) is enclosed with this Circular. To promptly receive the Arrangement Consideration, you may complete and send in your Letter of Transmittal now, together with your Trizec Canada Share certificate(s), as indicated in the Letter of Transmittal. In the event that the Arrangement Resolution is not approved or the Merger and Arrangement Agreement is terminated, your Trizec Canada Share certificate(s) will be promptly returned to you. DO NOT SEND SHARE CERTIFICATES WITH YOUR FORM OF PROXY.
      If you are an Eligible Person and wish to elect to be a Certifying Shareholder in connection with the Arrangement, you must return to the Depositary a duly completed Letter of Transmittal reflecting such election together with the share certificate(s) representing your Trizec Canada Shares, as soon as possible but no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on September 29, 2006.
      Non-Registered Shareholders who do not possess certificates representing the Trizec Canada Shares beneficially held by them should contact their Intermediary for instructions and assistance in surrendering such Trizec Canada Shares.
27.      What rights do I have if I oppose the Arrangement?
      Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares who do not vote for the Arrangement Resolution will be granted Dissent Rights and may seek appraisal of the fair value of their Subordinate Voting Shares if the Arrangement is completed, but only if they comply with the Dissent Procedures under the CBCA, the terms of the Arrangement and the Interim Order, which are summarized under the heading “Dissenting Shareholders’ Rights” in this Circular. Under the PMC Support Agreement, P.M. Capital, the holder of all of the Multiple Voting Shares, has agreed to vote for the Plan of Arrangement and therefore Dissent Rights are available only to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares. The appraisal amount that a Dissenting Shareholder could be entitled to receive following the exercise of his or her Dissent Rights could be more than, the same as, or less than the amount a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares would be entitled to receive under the terms of the Arrangement. Any holders of Subordinate Voting Shares intending to exercise their Dissent Rights, among other things, must submit a written demand for appraisal to Trizec Canada prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day immediately preceding the Meeting and must not vote or otherwise submit a proxy for the Arrangement Resolution. Your failure to follow exactly the Dissent Procedures specified under the CBCA, as amended by the Interim Order and the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, will result in the loss of your Dissent Rights. If you are considering exercising Dissent Rights, we encourage you to seek the advice of your own legal counsel.
28.      What will happen to the Trizec Canada Shares that I currently own after completion of the Arrangement?
      Upon the completion of the Arrangement, the certificates representing your Trizec Canada Shares will represent only the right to receive the Arrangement Consideration to which you are entitled. Trading in Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX will cease and Trizec Canada will make an application to terminate its status as a reporting issuer under Canadian securities law. Trizec Canada will deregister the Subordinate Voting Shares under the Exchange Act, and thereafter will cease to be required to file reports with the SEC.
29.      Have any Trizec Canada Shareholders already agreed to vote for the Arrangement Resolution?
      Yes. Contemporaneously with Trizec Canada entering into the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, P.M. Capital, a corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Peter Munk that is the registered owner of 7,522,283 Multiple Voting Shares and the beneficial owner of 1,972,435 Subordinate Voting Shares entered into the PMC Support Agreement pursuant to which P.M. Capital agreed to vote all of the Trizec Canada Shares owned by it (including any Trizec Canada Shares that may be acquired after the execution of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement) for the Plan of Arrangement, subject to the terms and conditions contained in such support agreement. As at the Record Date, the Trizec Canada Shares subject to the PMC Support Agreement that are eligible to be voted at the Meeting represented approximately 51.9% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares. See the additional information under the headings “Related Agreements — PMC Support Agreement “ and “Information Concerning Trizec Canada — Voting Trust Agreement” in this Circular.

BACKGROUND TO THE ARRANGEMENT AND THE MERGERS
      Prior to May 8, 2002, Trizec Properties was a subsidiary of Trizec Hahn Corporation, a Canadian corporation. On May 8, 2002, Trizec Hahn Corporation implemented a corporate reorganization (the “2002 Restructuring”) pursuant to which Trizec Properties became a separate, U.S.-based publicly traded REIT owning primarily the U.S. real estate assets previously owned by Trizec Hahn Corporation and its subsidiaries. As part of the 2002 Restructuring, Trizec Canada was formed to acquire the shares of Trizec Hahn Corporation which retained a significant interest in Trizec Properties. As of the Record Date, Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries collectively own approximately 38.1% of the shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock.
      In addition to owning a significant number of shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock, Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries own all of the outstanding shares of Trizec Properties Convertible Stock and Trizec Properties Special Stock. The Trizec Properties Convertible Stock is convertible into Trizec Properties Common Stock in certain circumstances so that Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Trizec Properties’ other stockholders, on the other hand, may share ratably certain future taxes that Trizec Canada or its subsidiaries may incur in those specified circumstances. The Trizec Properties Special Stock entitles Trizec Canada to receive dividends from Trizec Properties that, when aggregated with dividends received by Trizec Canada on Trizec Properties Common Stock and after deducting related non-Canadian taxes, including certain withholding taxes, will equal the dividends received by Trizec Properties’ U.S. stockholders on Trizec Properties Common Stock on a per share basis. The Trizec Properties Special Stock also entitles Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries to votes that, when aggregated with votes of shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock held by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries, represent a majority of the votes in elections of the Trizec Properties Board.
      Trizec Properties’ certificate of incorporation contains an ownership limitation that is designed to enable it to qualify in the future as a “domestically-controlled” REIT within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. This limitation restricts any person that is not a qualifying “U.S. person” (as defined in Trizec Properties’ certificate of incorporation) from beneficially owning Trizec Properties’ capital stock if that person’s holdings, when aggregated with shares of Trizec Properties capital stock beneficially owned by all other persons that are not qualifying “U.S. persons”, would exceed 45% by value of Trizec Properties’ issued and outstanding capital stock.
      From time to time since the 2002 Restructuring, the Trizec Properties Board and Trizec Properties’ senior management team have discussed current valuations of office property portfolios generally, as well as the projected value of Trizec Properties’ assets and business on a net asset and equity market value basis over the near- and mid-term, taking into account Trizec Properties’ strategic growth, asset allocation and portfolio repositioning initiatives. In that regard, the Trizec Properties Board and Trizec Properties’ senior management also have discussed the possibility that market conditions might present an opportunity to enhance stockholder value through a strategic transaction. In these discussions, the Trizec Properties Board and Trizec Properties’ senior management acknowledged that Trizec Properties faced various challenges that other office property owners and operators like Trizec Properties face, including interest rate volatility, high capital costs associated with attracting and retaining tenants, difficulty of making accretive acquisitions in an extremely competitive investment environment and limitations on the use of leverage when operating as a public company. The Trizec Properties Board and senior management also recognized certain challenges faced by Trizec Properties that were unique to Trizec Properties, including certain limitations imposed upon Trizec Properties arising out of the 2002 Restructuring.
      The Trizec Canada Board and Trizec Canada’s senior management have engaged in similar discussions from time to time since the 2002 Restructuring, taking into consideration the fact that the principal asset of Trizec Canada is its interest in Trizec Properties.
      Beginning in the summer of 2004, members of Trizec Properties’ senior management team began to explore the possibility of pursuing a variety of transactions, including joint ventures, fund formations and debt and equity issuances, as well as a merger, asset sale or other business combination or strategic transaction. They had informal discussions with representatives of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“JPMorgan”) about Trizec Properties and its business. During these discussions, members of Trizec Properties’ senior management team and representatives of JPMorgan also discussed that, given Trizec Canada’s ownership of a significant percentage of shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock and the potential tax impact on Trizec Properties if Trizec Canada were to sell those shares prior to the latter part of 2007, any business combination or strategic transaction involving Trizec Properties would have to consider tax and other implications for both Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada.

      In September 2004, a private investment company, a diversified public company and a real estate fund manager separately contacted representatives of JPMorgan and expressed interest in pursuing a potential transaction with Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada, and Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada entered into confidentiality agreements with each of them. In the case of the private investment company and the diversified public company, the discussions were very preliminary in nature and did not result in the submission of an indicative price for, or an offer to purchase, Trizec Properties and/or Trizec Canada.
      Beginning in late 2004 and continuing into early 2005, members of Trizec Properties’ senior management team, together with Trizec Canada’s senior management team, engaged in preliminary discussions with the real estate fund manager from time to time. In February 2005, at a meeting with the Trizec Properties Board, Trizec Properties’ senior management team informed the Trizec Properties Board of the status of these discussions. At this meeting, the Trizec Properties Board was also informed by representatives of its outside legal counsel, Hogan & Hartson LLP (“Hogan & Hartson”), of its fiduciary duties in connection with potential strategic transactions. Due to the unique structure of the potential strategic transaction, the Trizec Properties Board subsequently decided to form a special committee (the “2004 Trizec Properties Special Committee”) to further analyze the possibility of a strategic transaction involving this company, and the 2004 Trizec Properties Special Committee authorized senior management to continue discussions with this company regarding this potential transaction. At subsequent meetings, Trizec Properties’ senior management and the 2004 Trizec Properties Special Committee’s advisors provided the special committee with in-depth analyses regarding Trizec Properties and its operations and business prospects.
      Trizec Canada’s senior management team similarly informed the Trizec Canada Board of the status of these discussions in February 2005. Due to the unique structure of the potential strategic transaction, the Trizec Canada Board subsequently decided to form a special committee to further analyze the possibility of a strategic transaction involving this company, and the Trizec Canada special committee authorized senior management and the Trizec Canada special committee’s advisors to continue discussions regarding this potential transaction. At subsequent meetings, Trizec Canada’s senior management team and the Trizec Canada special committee’s advisors provided the Trizec Canada special committee with in-depth analyses regarding Trizec Canada and its operations and business prospects.
      Between February and July 2005, this real estate fund manager and its financial and legal advisors conducted substantial due diligence regarding Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada, and members of Trizec Properties’ senior management team and Trizec Properties’ financial and legal advisors (including JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley”)), as well as members of Trizec Canada’s senior management team and its financial and legal advisors (including RBC), had substantial discussions regarding a potential business combination or strategic transaction involving Trizec Properties, Trizec Canada and this company. These discussions involved, among other things, the consideration to be paid by this company in any such transaction, the source of its financing, the structure of the proposed transaction and continuing due diligence efforts. During this period, the 2004 Trizec Properties Special Committee and the Trizec Canada special committee each met several times, during which the potential transaction, long-term growth prospects and other matters were discussed at length.
      At various points in time, in non-binding conversations or term sheets, this company proposed cash consideration ranging from $18.50 to $22.50 per share for shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock and the Trizec Canada Shares. No specific proposal was made with respect to the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada. However, in July 2005, Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada terminated discussions with this company because, among other things, the respective special committees believed that the proposed price ultimately was not sufficient and there were concerns, based on discussions with this company, that it did not have committed equity capital to finance any proposed transaction. Neither Trizec Properties nor Trizec Canada had any substantive conversations with this company regarding a proposed transaction after July 2005.
      During the latter part of 2005 and the early part of 2006, neither Trizec Properties’ management nor representatives of JPMorgan or Morgan Stanley had any substantive discussions with any third parties regarding a potential business combination or strategic transaction. During this period, Trizec Properties operated in an office property market that continued to recover at a slow pace and provided Trizec Properties’ management with challenges as Trizec Properties attempted to carry out Trizec Properties’ strategic plan. In September 2005, Trizec Properties became aware that Arden Realty, Inc. (“Arden”), an office REIT that had a significant presence in the Southern California market, was potentially for sale and that there existed a possible opportunity for Trizec Properties to acquire Arden in its entirety or a significant Southern California portfolio of office properties as part of the potential sale of

28


Table of Contents

Arden. In December 2005, Trizec Properties entered into an agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation, which ultimately acquired Arden by merger, to acquire 13 of Arden’s Southern California office properties for approximately $1.6 billion. Trizec Properties’ senior management believed that this significant increase in Trizec Properties’ presence in Southern California would be beneficial to Trizec Properties’ long-term business prospects, because this market was a stable and attractive office rental market, and that the acquired properties would complement and enhance Trizec Properties’ existing portfolio.
      During this period, Trizec Properties’ senior management provided the Trizec Properties Board with periodic updates at regular board meetings regarding the state of the capital markets in general, the state of the office property market in particular and other factors affecting Trizec Properties’ short-term and long-term business prospects. At these meetings, the Trizec Properties Board discussed the various factors that would materially affect Trizec Properties’ long-term strategic plan. During this period, Trizec Canada’s senior management provided the Trizec Canada Board with similar periodic updates.
      Also during this period, acquisition activity in the REIT industry, including the office REIT sector, continued to increase. Trizec Properties’ senior management team viewed the increase in activity as potentially indicative of market conditions that could support attractive valuations for REITs focused on office properties. In Trizec Properties’ senior management team’s view, market dynamics at that time were such that buyers might value Trizec Properties at pricing levels sufficiently attractive to warrant further exploration of strategic alternatives. Exploring such alternatives, Trizec Properties’ senior management team believed, would be consistent with the view of the Trizec Properties Board that Trizec Properties should consider favorable market conditions that might present an opportunity to enhance stockholder value through a strategic transaction. These beliefs were shared with Trizec Canada’s senior management.
      In February 2006, representatives of a private real estate company, which is referred to as Company A, approached Mr. Peter Munk, the chairman of Trizec Properties and the chairman and chief executive officer of Trizec Canada, and expressed an interest in pursuing a transaction with Trizec Canada and, potentially, Trizec Properties. Following very preliminary discussions, on February 13, 2006, Company A entered into a confidentiality agreement with Trizec Canada, and on February 23, 2006, representatives of Company A and its legal advisors met with senior management of Trizec Canada and representatives of Davies to explore certain structural issues relating to a possible transaction involving Trizec Canada, Trizec Properties and Company A. Beginning March 1, 2006, Company A was given access to due diligence materials on Trizec Canada. Conceptual discussions continued through late March but did not result in an offer from Company A, and Trizec Canada terminated Company A’s access to due diligence information on March 21, 2006.
      In March 2006, representatives of several investment banking firms, including Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, approached Trizec Properties and held discussions with Mr. Timothy Callahan, Trizec Properties’ president and chief executive officer, and Mr. Michael Colleran, Trizec Properties’ chief financial officer, regarding the current office REIT market, the current capital markets, REIT valuation trends and the general merger market outlook. Additionally, the possibility of Trizec Properties pursuing potential mergers, asset sales or other business combination or strategic transactions was discussed, including a discussion of other recent transactions involving publicly traded REITs and the likely interest of third parties in pursuing a transaction with Trizec Properties.
      On March 23, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley met with Mr. Munk, and generally discussed the same topics that were discussed with Messrs. Callahan and Colleran. Mr. Munk informally briefed members of Trizec Canada’s board on the matters discussed at this meeting.
      During March and April 2006, Mr. Munk was contacted by three companies regarding the possibility of pursuing potential mergers, asset sales or other business combination or strategic transactions with Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada. The three companies included Company A, a private real estate investment fund, which is referred to as Company B, and a diversified public company, which is referred to as Company C. In addition, Mr. Callahan was contacted by another private real estate company, which is referred to as Company D. These discussions generally consisted of informal discussions about Trizec Properties, Trizec Canada and the companies’ respective businesses based upon publicly available information. The discussions between Mr. Munk and/or Mr. Callahan and these entities remained at a very preliminary level and did not at that time result in the submission of an indicative purchase price for, or an offer to purchase, Trizec Properties and/or Trizec Canada. During this same period of time, senior management of Trizec Canada involved representatives of Davies and RBC in considering possible transaction structures to address the treatment of the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada in the event a third party were to make a proposal to acquire Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada.

      On April 20, 2006, senior management of Trizec Canada and representatives of Davies and RBC met with representatives of Morgan Stanley to discuss possible transaction structures to address the treatment of the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada in the event Trizec Canada were to engage in a transaction involving the acquisition of Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties, together with related issues.
      On April 26, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley met with Messrs. Munk and Callahan. The general topics of this meeting were market conditions and the level of interest by third parties in pursuing a business combination or strategic transaction with Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada, particularly in light of the discussions that Messrs. Munk and/or Callahan had had with Company A, Company B, Company C and Company D during March and April. Representatives of Morgan Stanley indicated that they believed there was significant interest by certain third parties in pursuing a transaction with Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada, and that current market conditions were favorable to consummate such a transaction at an attractive price to Trizec Properties, Trizec Properties Common Stockholders, Trizec Canada and the Trizec Canada Shareholders. At this meeting, Messrs. Munk and Callahan concluded that representatives of Morgan Stanley should meet with the Trizec Properties Board to provide the board with an update of current market conditions.
      On May 1, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley updated the Trizec Properties Board on the state of the REIT market generally and, more specifically, office REITs. Morgan Stanley’s representatives also discussed recent strategic and business combination transactions involving other REITs, including the acquisitions of CarrAmerica Realty Corporation and Arden by Blackstone and General Electric Capital Corporation, respectively. Morgan Stanley’s representatives also updated the Trizec Properties Board regarding discussions that Messrs. Munk and/or Callahan had had with Company A, Company B, Company C and Company D. Morgan Stanley’s representatives discussed with the Trizec Properties Board overall structural issues related to Trizec Canada, and how these issues could affect any business combination or strategic transaction involving Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada. After such discussion, the Trizec Properties Board authorized representatives of Morgan Stanley to continue to analyze the feasibility of a transaction involving Trizec Properties, and to begin to compile due diligence information and other materials that would likely be requested by a third party bidder.
      On May 2, 2006, members of the Trizec Canada Board and its senior management and legal advisors were informally briefed by Mr. Munk on the matters discussed at Trizec Properties’ May 1 board meeting.
      On May 3, 2006 and May 9, 2006, members of Trizec Properties’ senior management team and the senior management of Trizec Canada, as well as representatives of Morgan Stanley, Hogan & Hartson, RBC and Davies met to discuss structural issues related to a possible transaction and coordinating Trizec Properties’ efforts with those of Trizec Canada in considering any such possible transaction.
      On May 9, 2006, the Trizec Properties Board met again. Representatives of Morgan Stanley and Hogan & Hartson participated in this meeting. Representatives of Morgan Stanley reported on market-related developments since the May 1, 2006 meeting of the Trizec Properties Board, and discussed their views on the likelihood of Trizec Properties being able to consummate a business combination or strategic transaction at an attractive price. Morgan Stanley’s representatives presented their view that, given the current market conditions, such a transaction at an attractive price could be consummated. After discussion among the board members, the Trizec Properties Board authorized representatives of Morgan Stanley, Trizec Properties’ senior management team and Hogan & Hartson to commence discussions with potential business combination partners and to make non-public information available to interested parties for due diligence purposes, subject to entering into suitable confidentiality agreements. Six potential business combination partners were identified by Morgan Stanley and Trizec Properties’ senior management as most likely to be willing and able to acquire Trizec Properties at an attractive price — Blackstone, Brookfield Properties, Company A, Company B, Company C and Company D.
      On May 10, 2006, the Trizec Canada Board met. After discussion among the board members, the Trizec Canada Board determined that, although no decision had been made to engage in any strategic transaction, RBC should be formally engaged to assist Trizec Canada in assessing the various alternatives which could be considered by Trizec Canada should any proposed transaction be brought forward by Trizec Properties. The Trizec Canada Board also authorized members of Trizec Canada’s senior management and Trizec Canada’s advisors to coordinate with Trizec Properties and Trizec Properties’ advisors in order to assist Trizec Properties and its advisors in Trizec Properties’ informal discussions with potential bidders, and authorized senior management of Trizec Canada to make non-public information available to interested potential business combination partners for due diligence purposes, subject to entering into suitable confidentiality agreements.

      Following these meetings, representatives of Morgan Stanley, Hogan & Hartson, Davies and RBC, as well as members of senior management of both Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada, began to gather and compile due diligence information and other materials about Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada. Between May 10 and May 15, 2006, Trizec Properties’ advisors held conversations with representatives of each of Blackstone, Brookfield Properties, Company A, Company B, Company C and Company D concerning these entities’ respective interests in pursuing a potential business combination or strategic transaction with Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada. The potential bidders were informed that they would be given a specified period of time in which to conduct their due diligence, and that more specific instructions for submitting offers regarding a potential acquisition would be provided at a later date by representatives of Morgan Stanley. Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada entered into confidentiality agreements with each of Blackstone, Brookfield Properties, Company A, Company B, Company C and Company D at various times between May 12 and May 19, 2006.
      The Trizec Canada Board met again on May 15, 2006. Representatives of RBC and Davies participated in this meeting. RBC provided a presentation on the current state of the capital markets and the real estate investment market in general, and office property companies and REITs in particular, recent consolidation activity involving U.S. office REITs, shareholder value considerations for Trizec Canada in the context of a potential business combination or strategic transaction, including considerations relating to the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada, and potential transaction structures and process considerations for a potential business combination or strategic transaction involving Trizec Canada. Following a discussion among the members of the Trizec Canada Board and with the representatives of both RBC and Davies, the Trizec Canada Board authorized Trizec Canada’s senior management and Trizec Canada’s advisors to continue to cooperate with Trizec Properties and its advisors in Trizec Properties’ discussions with the potential bidders and to evaluate the interests expressed by the potential bidders in these discussions.
      Also on May 15, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley activated an electronic data room containing due diligence information about Trizec Properties, and, once confidentiality agreements were executed, each of the bidders obtained access to such data room and started to review the due diligence material.
      On May 18, 2006, the Trizec Properties Board held a special meeting during which representatives of Morgan Stanley provided the board with an update of the meetings and discussions they had had with the various potential bidders up to that date. During this meeting, the members of the Trizec Properties Board and representatives of Hogan & Hartson discussed the potential conflicts that Mr. Munk might have as a result of the involvement of Trizec Canada in a potential transaction and Mr. Munk’s control over Trizec Canada (in light of his roles as the chairman of the Trizec Properties Board and chairman of the board, chief executive officer and the controlling shareholder of Trizec Canada). After discussion, the Trizec Properties Board resolved to form a special committee of the Trizec Properties Board (the “Trizec Properties Special Committee”) that would consist of all of the directors other than Mr. Munk, and proceeded to appoint such directors as the members of the Trizec Properties Special Committee. The Trizec Properties Special Committee was given broad authority to, among other things, evaluate and consider offers of interest and determine the advisability of any transaction, negotiate the terms of any potential transaction with any prospective purchaser and take any other action in connection with such transaction as the Trizec Properties Special Committee determined was necessary or appropriate. Mr. Glenn J. Rufrano was appointed as the chairman of the Trizec Properties Special Committee. At this meeting, the Trizec Properties Special Committee also authorized the engagement of Hogan & Hartson as legal counsel to the Trizec Properties Special Committee and Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan as co-financial advisors to the Trizec Properties Special Committee and Trizec Properties. In making this decision, the Trizec Properties Special Committee considered that Morgan Stanley had indicated that one or more of its affiliates would be prepared to offer financing to all potential purchasers and that such financing could enhance the bid process. The Trizec Properties Special Committee, after considering the potential conflict of interest that might arise from allowing Morgan Stanley to offer such financing and the potential benefits thereof, determined that it would be desirable to retain JPMorgan to consider the fairness of any proposed transaction. Representatives of Hogan & Hartson also discussed with the Trizec Properties Special Committee at this meeting its fiduciary duties in considering any proposals relating to an acquisition of Trizec Properties.
      Also on May 18, 2006, the compensation committee of the Trizec Properties Board met. At this meeting, the compensation committee discussed the possibility of adopting a broader severance plan that would provide enhanced severance payments to Trizec Properties’ executive officers, other than Mr. Callahan, and would provide enhanced severance payments for additional members of Trizec Properties’ management team under certain circumstances if they were terminated or if they resigned for “good reason” within a specified period following the consummation of a

change in control transaction. The compensation committee also discussed the possibility of adopting a retention bonus plan that would provide both professional and hourly employees a financial incentive to continue to remain employees of Trizec Properties through the closing date of any transaction that Trizec Properties might pursue and during a specified transition period following the closing of such a transaction. No formal action was taken at this meeting approving any of these arrangements.
      Between May 16 and May 22, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley, Hogan & Hartson and Davies held various meetings and telephone calls with representatives of the potential bidders and their respective advisors to discuss a potential transaction, including due diligence and structural matters. Members of Trizec Properties’ and Trizec Canada’s senior management teams also participated in due diligence calls with potential bidders. Representatives of Morgan Stanley, Hogan & Hartson and Davies periodically advised members of Trizec Properties’ and Trizec Canada’s senior management teams of the progress of the discussions with the bidders during this time, and Mr. Callahan periodically updated Mr. Rufrano as to the progress of these discussions. Specifically, representatives of Morgan Stanley met or had substantive calls with Company A and Company B on May 17, 2006, with Brookfield Properties on May 18, 2006, with Blackstone and Company D on May 19, 2006 and with Company C on May 22, 2006. At each of these meetings, representatives of Morgan Stanley provided each of the bidders additional information about the potential transaction, including an overview of a potential structure of the transaction.
      On May 23, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley distributed formal bid instruction letters to representatives of Blackstone, Brookfield Properties, Company A, Company B, Company C and Company D. The potential bidders were requested, in these letters and in subsequent communications between Morgan Stanley and such potential bidders, to return by May 31, 2006 indications of interest in a potential strategic transaction with Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada, including a price and proposed structure for any such transaction, as well as comments to a draft merger and arrangement agreement that would be provided. On May 26, 2006, a draft merger and arrangement agreement prepared by Hogan & Hartson and Davies was distributed by Morgan Stanley to the various potential bidders.
      Between May 23 and May 31, 2006, the potential bidders continued to perform due diligence on Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada, and representatives of the various potential bidders also had numerous conversations with representatives of Morgan Stanley, Hogan & Hartson and Trizec Properties’ senior management team. Representatives of the various potential bidders also had numerous conversations with representatives of the senior management team of Trizec Canada and with representatives of Davies.
      On May 25, 2006, the Trizec Canada Board met and received a report from senior management of Trizec Canada on, and discussed, the efforts underway to explore possible strategic alternatives involving Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties. Also on May 25, 2006, Davies activated an electronic data room and, subsequently, granted access to physical data rooms containing additional due diligence information about Trizec Canada.
      On May 31, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley and RBC received written preliminary indications of interest from Brookfield Properties, Blackstone, Company A and Company B (which presented a joint bid with a financial partner). Neither Company C nor Company D submitted a written preliminary indication of interest, and no further discussions took place with Company C or Company D after May 31. On May 31, 2006, copies of the bid letters, along with a summary of the various bids, were distributed to the Trizec Properties Special Committee and the Trizec Canada Board.
      Brookfield Properties’ non-binding letter of interest proposed an all cash offer of (i) $28.50 per share to acquire Trizec Properties shares (other than shares of Trizec Properties’ capital stock held by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries), and (ii) Cdn.$33.50 per share for the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares. The price offered for the Trizec Canada Shares implicitly included an amount attributable to the value of the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada. This amount, based on the then prevailing exchange rate, and after deducting $28.50 per share for Trizec Canada’s interest in Trizec Properties, was calculated by RBC to be between approximately $116 million and $117 million. Brookfield Properties’ offer also contemplated a purchase of 100% of the outstanding units of interest in Trizec Operating Company, although Brookfield Properties indicated it would be willing to allow the holders of such units to continue to hold their interests in Trizec Operating Company, subject to an amended operating company agreement. Brookfield Properties’ offer also indicated that it was prepared to discuss providing an option for Trizec Canada shareholders to receive preferred stock of Brookfield Properties in order to facilitate “rollover” treatment for Trizec Canada shareholders. Brookfield Properties’ letter indicated that Brookfield Properties’ remaining due diligence would be limited and that Brookfield Properties still needed to finalize arrangements with one or more U.S. equity participants in order to provide certainty that Trizec Properties would continue to be treated as a “domestically controlled” REIT.

Brookfield Properties’ letter did not specify a timeframe for when it would be in a position to submit a binding proposal, but indicated that Brookfield Properties would continue to allocate all resources necessary to expeditiously complete the transaction. Accompanying Brookfield Properties’ letter were written comments to the merger and arrangement agreement from Brookfield Properties and its legal counsel, Goodwin Procter LLP (“Goodwin Procter”).
      Blackstone’s non-binding letter of interest proposed an all cash offer of $26.50 per share to acquire Trizec Properties shares (other than shares of Trizec Properties’ capital stock held by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries). In its letter, Blackstone did not provide any specific details regarding its proposed treatment of the outstanding shares and the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada, although it did acknowledge that it would pay additional consideration to reflect the value of such shares and assets. Blackstone also indicated its willingness to purchase 100% of the outstanding units of interest in Trizec Operating Company or allow the holders of such interests to “roll over” into a new preferred security. Blackstone’s letter indicated that Blackstone was prepared to work toward executing transaction documents on or before June 7, 2006. While Blackstone did not submit a formal mark-up of the merger and arrangement agreement, it and its legal counsel, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP (“Simpson Thacher”) submitted a memorandum which listed specified points in the merger and arrangement agreement that Blackstone expected would need to be negotiated prior to consummating a transaction.
      Company A’s non-binding letter of interest proposed an all cash offer of (i) a range of $26.00 to $28.00 per share to acquire Trizec Properties shares (other than shares of Trizec Properties’ capital stock held by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries), and (ii) a range of $26.00 to $28.00 per share for the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares. Company A’s letter did not propose a specific value for the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada, but stated that any cash reserves of Trizec Canada, to the extent not used to satisfy liabilities, would be distributed to Trizec Canada Shareholders after applicable statutory periods for claims had expired. Company A’s offer also contemplated a purchase of 100% of the outstanding units of interest in Trizec Operating Company, although Company A indicated it would be willing to allow the holders of such units to continue to hold their interests in Trizec Operating Company, subject to an amended operating company agreement. Company A provided a list of additional due diligence information that it indicated it needed to review in order to finalize its offer, and stated that it would be in a position to submit a binding proposal by June 15, 2006. Company A and its legal advisors also submitted comments to the merger and arrangement agreement together with Company A’s letter.
      Finally, Company B’s non-binding letter of interest proposed an all cash offer of (i) $28.00 per share to acquire Trizec Properties shares (other than shares of Trizec Properties’ capital stock held by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries), and (ii) $28.00 per share for the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares, plus approximately $105 million for the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada. Company B’s offer also contemplated a purchase of 100% of the outstanding units of interest in Trizec Operating Company, although Company B indicated it would be willing to allow the holders of such units to continue to hold their interests in Trizec Operating Company, subject to an amended operating company agreement. Company B’s letter indicated that Company B was prepared to work immediately toward negotiating and executing the merger and arrangement agreement and that it was confident of its ability to complete the process on or before the opening of business on June 5, 2006. Company B and its legal advisors also submitted comments to the merger and arrangement agreement together with Company B’s letter.
      On June 1, 2006, the Trizec Properties Special Committee convened a special telephonic meeting for the purpose of discussing these written proposals, the principal terms and related financing issues, and the respective comments to the draft merger and arrangement agreement. Representatives of Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan and Hogan & Hartson participated in this meeting. Representatives of Morgan Stanley reviewed the key terms of the proposals and provided the directors with background information related to each of the bidders, their financing plans and, if known, financing sources, the general business strategy of each bidder and a summary of events leading up to the receipt of the proposals, as well as a summary of discussions that representatives of Morgan Stanley had had with the bidders up to that date. Representatives of Morgan Stanley also updated the Trizec Properties Special Committee with respect to the amount of due diligence that each of the bidders had performed up to that date, and the proposed process for inviting bidders whose initial proposals were sufficiently attractive into a second round of bids. The Trizec Properties Special Committee discussed the key terms of the proposals in the letters, including the price, the probabilities and risks of increases and decreases in such pricing, the execution risk and other potential factors and events that could affect the likelihood of closing a transaction with any one of the bidders, in order to determine which bidders’ initial proposals, if any, were sufficiently attractive to warrant being invited to submit second round bids. Hogan & Hartson also presented to the Trizec Properties Special Committee its views with respect to the respective comments to the draft merger and

arrangement agreement. During this meeting, representatives of Hogan & Hartson discussed with the Trizec Properties Special Committee members their fiduciary duties in connection with a transaction such as the one contemplated.
      At the meeting on June 1, 2006, the Trizec Properties Special Committee discussed whether to continue discussions with specific bidders given the terms of their respective bid letters, offer prices and comments to the draft merger and arrangement agreement. The Trizec Properties Special Committee considered certain of the proposals attractive enough to warrant further exploration of a possible strategic transaction. In order to coordinate with Trizec Canada the responses to the various bidders, the Trizec Properties Special Committee authorized Mr. Rufrano, as chairman of the Trizec Properties Special Committee, to discuss the preliminary conclusions reached by the Trizec Properties Special Committee with Mr. Donald Lenz, the lead director appointed by the Trizec Canada Board (as described below). At this meeting, the Trizec Properties Special Committee also discussed a possible amendment to the Trizec Properties 2004 Outperformance Compensation Plan (“OPP”) to provide that the valuation date for considering whether awards have been earned under the OPP should be the date of any merger agreement, as opposed to the closing date of any transaction. No formal action was taken at this meeting approving this amendment.
      Also on June 1, 2006, the Trizec Canada Board, with Mr. Munk recusing himself, convened a special telephonic meeting for the purpose of discussing the written proposals, their principal terms and related financing issues, and comments to the draft merger and arrangement agreement. Representatives of Morgan Stanley, RBC and Davies participated in this meeting. Representatives of Morgan Stanley provided the Trizec Canada Board with the same general report that was provided to the Trizec Properties Board and engaged in a discussion of the various proposals with the board members before leaving the meeting. RBC then made a presentation to the Trizec Canada Board regarding the financial elements of each proposal and certain factors the board should consider in its deliberations. Davies also presented to the Trizec Canada Board its views with respect to the respective comments to the draft merger and arrangement agreement and certain other legal matters. The Trizec Canada Board discussed in detail the key terms of the proposals in the letters, including the price, the probabilities and risks of increases and decreases in such pricing, the execution risk and other potential factors and events that could affect the likelihood of closing a transaction with any one of the bidders, in order to determine which bidders’ initial proposals, if any, were sufficiently attractive to warrant being invited to submit second round bids. The Trizec Canada Board considered certain of the proposals to be attractive enough to warrant further exploration of a possible strategic transaction. At this meeting, the Trizec Canada Board also appointed and authorized Mr. Donald Lenz as its lead director to discuss the preliminary conclusions reached by the Trizec Canada Board with Mr. Rufrano, as chairman of the Trizec Properties Special Committee.
      Later that day, Messrs. Lenz and Rufrano, certain of the respective legal and financial advisors to Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties’ and Trizec Canada’s senior management teams discussed the views of the Trizec Properties Special Committee and the Trizec Canada Board with regard to the bids received, and a consensus was reached as to the following mutual conclusions regarding the merits of the bids and the strategy for proceeding with second round bids.
      Brookfield Properties had submitted a bid with a price that was the highest of the bids that were submitted, both for Trizec Properties Common Stock and for the Trizec Canada Shares and Net Other Assets. However, concerns were expressed that Brookfield Properties did not yet have a significant U.S. equity partner, an element that was considered necessary in light of the need for Trizec Properties to continue to qualify as a “domestically controlled” REIT for tax purposes following any merger transaction. Taking into consideration the advice received from the respective legal and financial advisors, it was decided that Brookfield Properties would be invited to submit a second round bid, with the reservation that Brookfield Properties would need to provide more details regarding its source of U.S. equity capital to finance a transaction in order to ultimately be considered a viable bidder.
      With respect to Blackstone, it was decided that representatives of Morgan Stanley should convey to Blackstone that its offer was not sufficient, both with respect to the $26.50 per share offer price for Trizec Properties Common Stock and the lack of specificity with respect to the proposed treatment of the Trizec Canada Shares and Net Other Assets. Blackstone’s experience in successfully completing acquisitions of public real estate companies was discussed, and it was noted that, notwithstanding that Blackstone had not submitted detailed comments to the merger and arrangement agreement, Blackstone had displayed in the past its ability to execute similar transactions in a swift manner. However, taking into consideration the advice received from the respective legal and financial advisors, it was decided that Blackstone would need to increase its offer price and submit a detailed mark-up to the merger and arrangement agreement in order to ultimately be considered a viable bidder and be invited into the second round for submitting bids.

      With respect to Company A, taking into consideration the advice received from the respective legal and financial advisors, it was decided that Company A would not be invited to submit a second round bid unless it submitted a specific price and materially increased its offer price. This decision was based on a number of factors, including the insufficiency of the price being offered (it being noted that the low end of the range of prices being offered by Company A for shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock and for the Trizec Canada Shares, at $26.00 per share, was the lowest bid out of the four bids that were received), the proposed treatment of Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets that was considered unacceptable by the Trizec Canada Board, the remaining due diligence that Company A indicated that it still needed to complete and the relatively lengthy time Company A stated it would need to be in a position to execute a definitive merger and arrangement agreement.
      The proposal made by Company B, jointly with a financial partner, was generally considered to be attractive in that, while not the highest, it was in the upper range of offer prices for Trizec Properties Common Stock and the Trizec Canada Shares, it addressed (although at a price that the Trizec Canada Board believed was at the low end of the acceptable range) the value of the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada, and that Company B appeared to have done a substantial amount of due diligence on both Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada. The fact that Company B was willing to proceed very quickly toward signing a definitive merger and arrangement agreement was viewed positively. After taking into consideration the advice received from the respective legal and financial advisors, it was decided that Company B would be invited to submit a second round bid.
      It was further determined by the Trizec Properties Special Committee and the Trizec Canada Board that the proposals of Brookfield Properties and Company B were sufficiently attractive to warrant such bidders being invited to submit second round bids in order to explore in more depth the possibility of a strategic transaction.
      Later in the day on June 1, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley reported back to Blackstone and Company A that their offers were not sufficiently attractive to warrant being invited to submit second round bids. They also reported back to Brookfield Properties and Company B that their offers warranted being invited to submit second round bids, with instructions that each party should continue negotiating the merger and arrangement agreement and resolving other issues so that it would be in a position to execute a definitive merger and arrangement agreement as soon as possible.
      In the evening of June 1, 2006, during their discussions with Blackstone regarding the lack of competitiveness of Blackstone’s bid, representatives of Morgan Stanley and Blackstone discussed the prospect of Blackstone teaming with Brookfield Properties, especially in light of the fact that Brookfield Properties, as a Canadian corporation, still needed to identify a U.S. equity financing source. On June 2, 2006, representatives of Blackstone contacted representatives of Morgan Stanley and indicated that Brookfield Properties and Blackstone were in discussions regarding possibly moving forward together in the bid process.
      In the evening of June 2, 2006, representatives of Brookfield Properties and Blackstone contacted representatives of Morgan Stanley and confirmed that Brookfield Properties and Blackstone were, in fact, prepared to move forward together at a price of $28.50 per share for Trizec Properties Common Stock and Cdn.$33.50 per share for the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares. Brookfield Properties and Blackstone indicated that they would continue together based on Brookfield Properties’ proposal letter and comments on the merger and arrangement agreement.
      During the period of time after the conclusion of the meetings of Trizec Properties Special Committee and the Trizec Canada Board on June 1, 2006 and the night of June 3, 2006, representatives of Hogan & Hartson and Davies continued to negotiate the terms of the merger and arrangement agreement with Goodwin Procter and Simpson Thacher (jointly) and the legal advisors of Company B, and Brookfield Properties and Blackstone (jointly) and Company B continued their due diligence efforts. During this period of time, representatives of Morgan Stanley held a series of telephone calls with Brookfield Properties, Blackstone, Company B and their respective financial advisors regarding issues that had been raised by the Trizec Properties Special Committee and the Trizec Canada Board concerning their respective proposals, including the proposed price, financing and other terms. The parties also began to negotiate a proposed structure and amendment to the operating agreement of Trizec Operating Company, in light of the fact that both remaining bidders expressed a willingness to allow the current holders of interests in Trizec Operating Company to continue to hold such interests, subject to an amended operating company agreement.
      In the evening of June 3, 2006, representatives of Morgan Stanley contacted Brookfield Properties, Blackstone and Company B, and told them that best and final offers, as well as final comments to the merger and arrangement agreement, would be due no later than noon on Sunday, June 4. As directed by the Trizec Properties Special Committee

35

and the Trizec Canada Board, representatives of Morgan Stanley also advised the bidders that they should consider assigning a value of at least $117 million to the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada.
      Through the night of June 3, 2006 and into the afternoon of June 4, 2006, representatives of Hogan & Hartson and Davies continued to negotiate the terms of a merger and arrangement agreement with Goodwin Procter, Simpson Thacher and the legal advisors of Company B, and Brookfield Properties, Blackstone and Company B continued their due diligence efforts. In the early afternoon of June 4, 2006, Brookfield Properties submitted a final and best offer, indicating it had secured Blackstone as a participant in such offer, and Company B also submitted a final and best offer. Company B informed Mr. Callahan that its offer would expire at 8:00 a.m. on June 5, 2006. Both of the remaining bidders also submitted revised markups to the merger and arrangement agreement.
      The final offer from Brookfield Properties and Blackstone proposed an all cash offer of (i) $29.01 per share of Trizec Properties Common Stock to acquire Trizec Properties (other than shares of Trizec Properties’ capital stock held by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries), and (ii) $30.97 per share for the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares (representing an implied value of approximately $119 million for the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada). The offer of Brookfield Properties and Blackstone also included a right pursuant to which Brookfield Properties could propose to Trizec Canada Shareholders an option to receive part of the consideration in the form of Brookfield Properties preferred shares.
      Company B’s final offer proposed an all cash offer of (i) $28.50 per share to acquire Trizec Properties shares (other than shares of Trizec Properties’ capital stock held by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries), and (ii) $28.50 per share to acquire the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares, plus approximately $117 million for the Net Other Assets of Trizec Canada.
      On June 4, 2006, prior to the meeting of the Trizec Properties Special Committee, the compensation committee of the Trizec Properties Board met and reviewed certain proposals regarding compensation for Trizec Properties’ executive officers and other employees that had been previously discussed at the May 18, 2006 compensation committee meeting and the June 1, 2006 meeting of the Trizec Properties Special Committee. The compensation committee recommended that the Trizec Properties Board approve (i) a change in control severance pay plan under which certain employees of Trizec Properties (including Trizec Properties’ executive officers other than Mr. Callahan) and its subsidiaries would be entitled to severance payments under certain circumstances if they were terminated or if they resigned for “good reason” within one year following the consummation of a change in control transaction, (ii) a retention bonus program for the benefit of certain professional employees of Trizec Properties (including Trizec Properties’ executive officers) and its subsidiaries, and a retention bonus program for the benefit of certain hourly employees of Trizec Properties, to provide additional incentive to such employees to continue to remain employees of Trizec Properties through the closing date of any merger that Trizec Properties might pursue and during a specified transition period following the closing of such a merger, and (iii) an amendment to the OPP to provide that the awards made under the OPP to all participants, including Trizec Properties’ executive officers, would vest in full and the participants would be entitled to receive payments under the OPP in the form of restricted stock immediately prior to the closing of any merger that Trizec Properties might pursue (but contingent on the closing), based on the total return to common stockholders for the period beginning on October 20, 2004 and ending on the date of any merger agreement. Immediately following the conclusion of the compensation committee’s meeting, the Trizec Properties Board convened a meeting and, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved, with Mr. Callahan abstaining, the change in control severance pay plan, the retention bonus programs and the amendment to the OPP as recommended.
      In the evening of June 4, 2006, the Trizec Properties Special Committee convened a special telephonic meeting for the purpose of discussing the final offers submitted by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone and Company B. Representatives of Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan and Hogan & Hartson participated in this meeting. In advance of the meeting, each committee member received, among other things, current drafts of the merger and arrangement agreements submitted by the two bidders and related documents. At the meeting, representatives of Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan reviewed the financial analysis of the proposed merger with the members of the Trizec Properties Special Committee, summarized the final bids submitted by the remaining bidders and updated the Trizec Properties Special Committee on the negotiations that had taken place over the course of the prior three days since the Trizec Properties Special Committee’s last meeting.
      Representatives of Hogan & Hartson reviewed with the Trizec Properties Special Committee its fiduciary duties and the terms of the proposed merger and arrangement agreements submitted by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone

and Company B. Hogan & Hartson summarized in detail the principal terms of the merger and arrangement agreements and ancillary documents, including the representations and warranties, operating covenants, the provisions regarding non-solicitation of different acquisition proposals, closing conditions and the absence of a financing contingency, termination provisions, termination fees and expense reimbursement provisions, the guarantees and the structure and financing of the proposed transaction. While it was noted by Hogan & Hartson that the merger and arrangement agreements presented by the two remaining bidding parties were similar in many respects, the merger and arrangement agreement submitted by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone, as compared to the merger and arrangement agreement submitted by Company B, included a higher guarantee and a lower termination fee. Hogan & Hartson also discussed the terms of the support agreements that would be entered into by Trizec Canada and an affiliate of Mr. Munk in connection with the transaction. Considerable discussion concerning the proposed transaction and the strengths and weaknesses of the two bids then ensued. JPMorgan rendered its oral opinion, which was later confirmed in writing, to the Trizec Properties Special Committee that, as of June 4, 2006 and based upon and subject to the various considerations and assumptions described therein, the proposed merger consideration to be received by Trizec Properties Common Stockholders (other than Trizec Canada and its controlling shareholders) pursuant to the merger and arrangement agreement submitted by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone was fair, from a financial point of view, to such stockholders. Further discussion of the proposed transaction followed, and after its deliberations, the Trizec Properties Special Committee recommended approving the merger, the merger and arrangement agreement and other transactions contemplated by the merger and arrangement agreement.
      The Trizec Properties Board then immediately convened a meeting. Mr. Munk did not participate in this meeting. JPMorgan rendered its oral opinion, which was later confirmed in writing, to the Trizec Properties Board that, as of June 4, 2006 and based upon and subject to the various considerations and assumptions described therein, the proposed merger consideration to be received by Trizec Properties Common Stockholders (other than Trizec Canada and its controlling shareholders) pursuant to the merger and arrangement agreement submitted by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone was fair, from a financial point of view, to such stockholders. The Trizec Properties Board then, upon the recommendation of the Trizec Properties Special Committee, approved the merger, the merger and arrangement agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger and arrangement agreement, and declared the merger, the merger and arrangement agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the merger and arrangement agreement advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Trizec Properties and its stockholders.
      The Trizec Canada Board (with Mr. Munk recusing himself) reconvened its meeting in the evening of June 4, 2006 for the purpose of discussing the final proposals submitted by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone and Company B. In advance of the meeting, each director received, among other things, the drafts of the merger and arrangement agreements and related documents for each of Brookfield Properties and Blackstone on the one hand and Company B on the other. Representatives of RBC and Davies participated in this meeting and representatives of Morgan Stanley were present for part of the meeting. At the meeting, representatives of Morgan Stanley summarized the final bids submitted by the two remaining bidders and updated the Trizec Canada Board on the negotiations that had taken place over the course of the prior three days since the board’s last meeting.
      Representatives of Davies reviewed with the members of the Trizec Canada Board their fiduciary duties in the context of the proposals submitted by Brookfield Properties and Blackstone and Company B and summarized in detail for the Trizec Canada Board the principal terms of the merger and arrangement agreements, including the representations and warranties, operating covenants, the provisions regarding non-solicitation of different acquisition proposals, closing conditions and the absence of a financing contingency, termination provisions, termination fees and expense reimbursement provisions, the guarantees and the structure and financing of the proposed transaction, noting their similarities and distinctions. Specific note was made that the Brookfield Properties and Blackstone proposal included a higher guarantee and a lower termination fee. Representatives of Davies also described for the Trizec Canada Board the ancillary agreements and discussed the proposed support agreements sought from Trizec Canada in connection with the merger and from P.M. Capital in connection with the arrangement. Considerable discussion concerning the transaction then ensued as to the merits and weaknesses of each proposal. RBC provided a detailed presentation of its financial assessment of the proposals before rendering its oral opinion, which was later confirmed in writing, to the Trizec Canada Board that, as of June 4, 2006 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, RBC was of the opinion that the consideration of $30.97 per share for the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares offered in the arrangement proposed by Brookfield Properties was fair from a financial point of view to Trizec Canada Shareholders. The Trizec Canada Board, among other things, approved the merger and arrangement agreement and recommended that the arrangement be approved by the holders of Trizec Canada Shares. The Trizec Canada Board

also adopted resolutions regarding the payment of discretionary performance related bonuses and the meeting then concluded.
      In the evening of June 4, 2006, Mr. Callahan made a telephone call to representatives of Company B to inform Company B that Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada would not seek to consummate a transaction with Company B.
      Through the night of June 4, 2006 and into the morning of June 5, 2006, representatives of Hogan & Hartson and Davies continued to finalize the terms of the merger and arrangement agreement and related documents with Goodwin Procter and Simpson Thacher. Trading in the Trizec Properties Common Stock, the Subordinate Voting Shares and the common shares of Brookfield Properties did not open initially on the morning of June 5, 2006 pending the execution of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement. On June 5, 2006, the parties executed the merger and arrangement agreement and issued press releases announcing the proposed merger and arrangement.
REASONS FOR THE ARRANGEMENT AND
RECOMMENDATION OF THE TRIZEC CANADA BOARD
Factors Considered by the Trizec Canada Board Concerning the Fairness of the Arrangement
      In reaching its conclusion that the Arrangement is in the best interest of Trizec Canada and is fair to Trizec Canada Shareholders, the Trizec Canada Board considered and relied upon a number of factors, including the following:
  the current and historical market prices of the Subordinate Voting Shares, and the fact that the $30.97 component of the Arrangement Consideration represented an approximate 30% premium over the closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX on June 2, 2006, the last trading day before the public announcement of the entering into of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, and an approximate 32%, 31%, 35% and 38% premium to the average closing price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX for each of the 30-day, 90-day, 180-day and one-year periods respectively ended immediately prior to the public announcement of the proposed Arrangement;
 
  the portion of the Arrangement Consideration attributable to shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock owned by Trizec Canada is equal on a per share basis to the per share consideration being paid to Trizec Properties Common Stockholders in the Trizec Properties Merger and the Trizec Canada Shareholders will also be receiving fair consideration for Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets;
 
  the RBC Opinion to the effect that, as of the date thereof and based upon and subject to the various factors, assumptions and limitations set forth therein, the consideration to be received by Trizec Canada Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Trizec Canada Shareholders;
 
  the Trizec Canada Board’s understanding of, and its assessment of the future prospects of, Trizec Properties and its industry, including:
  the high multiples of funds from operations at which shares of REITs have been trading recently and the risk that those multiples might not be sustained, which could result in a decline in the trading price of Trizec Properties Common Stock and, in turn, a decline in the trading price of Subordinate Voting Shares regardless of Trizec Properties’ performance; and
 
  favourable conditions for sale transactions in the real estate markets generally and the office sector specifically, including high prices for real estate assets and low capitalization rates, the relatively low interest rate environment and the number of large portfolio acquisitions and public real estate mergers in recent years;
  the fact that the Arrangement represents a transaction that provided the highest price to Trizec Canada Shareholders, both for Trizec Canada’s interest in Trizec Properties and for Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets, and resulted from a competitive bidding process and the consideration of other potential transactions (see the heading “Background to the Arrangement and the Mergers” in this Circular);
 
  the high probability that the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Arrangement Agreement would be completed based, among other things, on Brookfield Properties’ and Blackstone’s proven ability to complete large acquisition transactions on the agreed terms and Brookfield Properties’ and Blackstone’s extensive experience in the real estate industry;
 
  the absence of a financing condition and the Brookfield Properties Guarantee;

38


Table of Contents

  the terms and conditions of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, which were reviewed by the Trizec Canada Board in consultation with its financial and legal advisors and the fact that such terms were the result of arm’s-length negotiations between the parties;
 
  the ability of the Trizec Canada Board, in certain circumstances described below under the heading “The Merger and Arrangement Agreement — Restrictions on Solicitation of Competing Transactions”, to consider, respond to and recommend the approval of a Combined Superior Proposal;
 
  the appropriateness of the termination payments and right to match and their terms as an inducement to the Buyer Parties entering into the Merger and Arrangement Agreement and the likely impact of them upon any potential subsequent Combined Superior Proposal;
 
  the fact that commencing in November 2007 the Trizec Properties Special Stock would no longer entitle Trizec Canada to cash dividends equal, on an after-tax basis, to non-Canadian taxes payable by Trizec Canada in respect of any dividends paid to it by Trizec Properties and thereafter Trizec Canada might not be in a position to pay per share dividends on the Trizec Canada Shares that are equivalent to the per share dividends paid by Trizec Properties on the Trizec Properties Common Stock;
 
  the fact that after January 1, 2008 the Trizec Properties Special Stock becomes non-voting and accordingly Trizec Canada would no longer be able to cast a majority of the votes in elections of the Trizec Properties Board;
 
  the fact that the Arrangement enables Trizec Canada Shareholders to receive an immediate payment in respect of the Net Other Assets rather than there being a possible holdback of some or all of Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets until Trizec Canada’s liabilities had been discharged or otherwise provided for;
 
  the fact that Trizec Canada Shareholders will be entitled to receive the Arrangement Consideration in cash which provides certainty of value;
 
  the willingness of P.M. Capital to enter into the PMC Support Agreement to support the transaction;
 
  the fact that the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by 662/3% of the votes cast by Trizec Canada Shareholders represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy; and
 
  the fact that Trizec Canada Shareholders that do not approve of the Arrangement may exercise Dissent Rights.
      The Trizec Canada Board also considered the following potentially negative factors in its deliberations concerning the Arrangement:
  the Arrangement would preclude Trizec Canada Shareholders from having the opportunity to participate in the future performance of Trizec Canada and, indirectly, Trizec Properties, and related future earnings growth, future appreciation of share value or future dividends that could be expected if Trizec Properties’ strategic plans were successfully implemented;
 
  the significant costs involved in connection with entering into and completing the Arrangement and the Mergers and the substantial time and effort of management of Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties required to consummate each of the Arrangement and the Mergers and related disruptions to the operation of their respective businesses;
 
  the pending Arrangement and pending Mergers or the failure to complete the Arrangement or the Mergers may cause substantial harm to relationships with employees and may divert management and employee attention away from the day to day operations of the businesses of Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties;
 
  the inability to solicit different acquisition proposals and the possibility that the termination payments and expense reimbursement payable upon the termination of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement could discourage other potential bidders from making a competing bid;
 
  because the adoption of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement is subject to approval by holders of shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock and is a closing condition under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, consummation of the Arrangement is tied in effect to the completion of the Trizec Properties Merger;
 
  an all cash transaction would be taxable to Trizec Canada Shareholders for income tax purposes;

39


Table of Contents

  the inability to take action to cause specific performance or require the Buyer Parties to complete the Arrangement and the Mergers and the exclusive remedy for such failure to complete the Arrangement and the Mergers being to seek damages up to the amount of the Brookfield Properties Guarantee; and
 
  certain directors and senior officers may have interests in the Arrangement and the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Trizec Canada Shareholders (see the heading “The Arrangement — Interests of Directors and Senior Officers in the Arrangement and Related Transactions” in this Circular).
      The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Trizec Canada Board is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes the material factors considered by the Trizec Canada Board. In reaching its decision to approve and recommend the Arrangement, the Trizec Canada Board did not quantify or assign any relative or specific weight to the factors considered and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.
Recommendation of the Trizec Canada Board
      The Trizec Canada Board (with Mr. Peter Munk recusing himself), having considered, among other things, the reasons for the Arrangement and the RBC Opinion as described above, has concluded that the Merger and Arrangement Agreement and the Arrangement are fair to Trizec Canada Shareholders and are in the best interests of Trizec Canada. The Trizec Canada Board recommends that Trizec Canada Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.
RBC FAIRNESS OPINION
      Trizec Canada retained RBC to provide financial advisory services and a fairness opinion in connection with the Arrangement. RBC was selected by the Trizec Canada Board to act as Trizec Canada’s financial advisor based on RBC’s qualifications, experience and reputation and its knowledge of the business and affairs of Trizec Canada. RBC is one of Canada’s largest investment banking firms, with operations in all facets of corporate and government finance, corporate banking, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading and investment research.
      Trizec Canada initially contacted RBC regarding a potential advisory assignment in March 2006, and RBC was formally engaged by Trizec Canada through an engagement agreement dated May 10, 2006. The terms of the engagement agreement provide that RBC is to be paid a fee for its services under the engagement agreement, a portion of which is conditional upon the completion of the Arrangement. In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by Trizec Canada in certain circumstances.
      RBC delivered the RBC Opinion verbally on June 4, 2006 and subsequently confirmed such opinion in writing. In preparing the RBC Opinion, RBC made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Arrangement and Mergers will be met. In connection with the RBC Opinion, RBC reviewed and relied upon or carried out, among other things: (i) the most recent draft, dated June 4, 2006, of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement; (ii) the most recent drafts, dated June 3, 2006, of the PMC Support Agreement and the Trizec Canada Support Agreement; (iii) annual reports of Trizec Canada and annual reports of Trizec Properties for each of the two years ended December 31, 2005; (iv) audited financial statements of Trizec Canada and audited financial statements of Trizec Properties for each of the four years ended December 31, 2005; (v) trust indentures related to the Exchangeable Debentures; (vi) the internal management budget of Trizec Canada and internal management budget of Trizec Properties for the year ending December 31, 2006; (vii) unaudited projected cash flows of Trizec Canada, prepared by management of Trizec Canada, for the five years ending December 31, 2010 and unaudited projected property cash flows for the properties of Trizec Properties, prepared by management of Trizec Properties, for the eleven years ending June 30, 2017; (viii) discussions with senior management, legal counsel and tax advisors of Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties; (ix) public information with respect to other transactions of a comparable nature considered by RBC to be relevant; (x) public information relating to the business, operations, financial performance and stock trading history of Trizec Canada, Trizec Properties and other selected public companies and real estate investment trusts considered by RBC to be relevant; and (xi) such other corporate, industry and financial market information, investigations and analyses as RBC considered necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. With the approval of the Trizec Canada Board and as provided in the engagement agreement, RBC relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources, senior management of Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties, and their respective consultants and advisors. The RBC Opinion is conditional upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described in the RBC Opinion, RBC did not attempt to independently verify the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any such information.

Table of Contents

      The RBC Opinion was rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date thereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of Trizec Canada, Trizec Properties and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the information obtained by or provided to RBC and as they were represented to RBC in discussions with management of Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties. In its analyses and in preparing the RBC Opinion, RBC made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Arrangement or Mergers.
      In considering the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to Trizec Canada Shareholders, RBC’s primary methodology was a net asset value (“NAV”) analysis of Trizec Canada. In assessing Trizec Canada’s investment in Trizec Properties for purposes of the Trizec Canada NAV analysis, RBC considered a NAV analysis of Trizec Properties. RBC also considered the value of the consideration per share of Trizec Properties Common Stock under the Trizec Properties Merger and compared the implied capitalization rates of net operating income and implied multiples of funds from operations under the Trizec Properties Merger to precedent transactions. RBC also reviewed trading multiples of comparable public real estate entities from the perspective of whether a public market value analysis for Trizec Properties might exceed NAV or precedent transaction values or the value of the consideration under the Trizec Properties Merger.
      RBC also considered the value being paid for Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets. RBC also compared the consideration under the Arrangement to the market prices of the Subordinate Voting Shares prior to the announcement of the Arrangement and the Mergers on June 5, 2006.
      Based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations and analyses set forth in the RBC Opinion, RBC is of the opinion that, as of June 4, 2006, the consideration under the Arrangement is fair from a financial point of view to the Trizec Canada Shareholders.
      During the past several years, RBC has provided financial advisory and/or financing services to Trizec Canada, Brookfield Properties and certain of their respective associates and affiliates and has received customary fees in connection with such services. RBC and/or certain of its affiliates will participate in a group of lenders providing debt financing to Parent for the purposes of the Arrangement and the Mergers, as described under the heading “Funding of the Arrangement and the Mergers” in this Circular, but will not be in a lead or co-lead role in respect of such financing.
      The full text of the written RBC Opinion is attached as Annex E to this Circular and should be read carefully and in its entirety by Trizec Canada Shareholders. RBC has not prepared a valuation of Trizec Canada or any of its securities or assets and the RBC Opinion should not be construed as such.
THE ARRANGEMENT
      The following contains a summary only of the Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement. Trizec Canada Shareholders are urged to read in its entirety the Plan of Arrangement attached as Annex G to this Circular.
Vote Required to Approve the Arrangement
      Subject to any further order of the Court, the Interim Order provides that the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of the votes cast by Trizec Canada Shareholders represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, with the Subordinate Voting Shares voting on a one-vote-per-share basis and the Multiple Voting Shares being entitled, in accordance with the Articles of Trizec Canada and the Voting Trust Agreement, to vote a simple majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter by all holders of voting securities of Trizec Canada in the aggregate. Contemporaneously with Trizec Canada entering into the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, P.M. Capital, a corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Peter Munk that is the registered owner of 7,522,283 Multiple Voting Shares and the beneficial owner of 1,972,435 Subordinate Voting Shares, entered into the PMC Support Agreement pursuant to which P.M. Capital has agreed to vote all of the Trizec Canada Shares owned by it (including any Trizec Canada Shares that may be acquired after the execution of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement) for the Plan of Arrangement, subject to the terms and conditions contained in such support agreement. As at the Record Date, the Trizec Canada Shares subject to the PMC Support Agreement that are eligible to be voted at the Meeting represented approximately 51.9% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares. See the additional information under the headings “Related Agreements — PMC Support Agreement” and “Information Concerning Trizec Canada — Voting Trust Agreement” in this Circular.

Summary and Effects of the Arrangement
      The Arrangement effects a series of transactions as a result of which (i) Trizec Canada will acquire for cancellation the Trizec Canada Shares held by Certifying Shareholders that have elected in their Letter of Transmittal to have their Trizec Canada Shares dealt with in this manner and (ii) Trizec Canada will pay to all remaining Trizec Canada Shareholders a capital gains dividend to be satisfied by the issuance in respect of each outstanding Trizec Canada Share of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share, following which Newco will acquire all of the remaining Trizec Canada Shares including those issued pursuant to the share dividend to remaining Trizec Canada Shareholders, in each case for consideration equal to the Arrangement Consideration, without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Arrangement Consideration will be paid in U.S. dollars. The aggregate cash consideration receivable under the Arrangement by a Trizec Canada Shareholder will be the same whether it makes the election as a Certifying Shareholder to dispose of its Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada or whether its Trizec Canada Shares are acquired by Newco.
      Pursuant to the Arrangement, commencing at the effective time of the Arrangement (being 12:01 a.m. on the Effective Date) and ending no later than 9:00 a.m. on the Effective Date, each of the events listed below will occur and be deemed to occur, except as otherwise noted, one minute apart and in the following sequence without any further authorization, act or formality:
  (a) all Trizec Canada Stock Options will become fully vested and exercisable, whether or not vested or subject to any performance condition that has not been satisfied, and regardless of the exercise price thereof;
 
  (b) each “in-the-money” Trizec Canada Stock Option will be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment from Trizec Canada equal to the excess of the Arrangement Consideration per Trizec Canada Share over the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by the noon exchange rate of the bank of Canada on the business day immediately preceding the Effective Date) of the exercise price of such Trizec Canada Stock Option;
 
  (c) each “out-of-the-money” Trizec Canada Stock Option will be cancelled and be of no further force and effect;
 
  (d) Newco will advance to Trizec Canada, and Trizec Canada will borrow from Newco, an amount that, in addition to Trizec Canada’s cash on hand after subtracting the amount payable by Trizec Canada pursuant to (b) and a reasonable reserve, will enable Trizec Canada to satisfy its obligations pursuant to (e);
 
  (e) each Trizec Canada Share held by a Certifying Shareholder in respect of which such Trizec Canada Shareholder has elected in its Letter of Transmittal to be dealt with in this manner, will be transferred by the holder thereof to and be acquired by Trizec Canada for cancellation, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances in exchange for cash payment by Trizec Canada equal to the sum of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount and will be cancelled;
 
  (f) Trizec Canada will pay to the holders of Trizec Canada Shares, on each outstanding Trizec Canada Share (including, for greater certainty, each such share held by Dissenting Shareholders and excluding, for greater certainty, the Trizec Canada Shares acquired and cancelled by Trizec Canada in (e)), a capital gains dividend in an amount equal to $7.50, the full and final payment of such dividend to be satisfied by the issuance by Trizec Canada in respect of each such outstanding Trizec Canada Share of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share equal to the quotient determined when (i) $7.50 is divided by (ii) $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount less $7.50, and there will be added to Trizec Canada’s capital account in respect of the Subordinate Voting Shares an amount equal to the aggregate dividend;
 
  (g) each Trizec Canada Share together with the fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued in connection with such Trizec Canada Share pursuant to (f) (other than any Subordinate Voting Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders and fractional shares issued to such Dissenting Shareholders) will be transferred by the holder thereof to and be acquired by Newco, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances, in exchange for a cash payment by Newco equal to the sum of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount, which Arrangement Consideration will be the aggregate consideration payable in respect of each Trizec Canada Share and fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued in connection with such Trizec Canada Share pursuant to (f); and
 
  (h) each Subordinate Voting Share, together with the fractional Subordinate Voting Share issued in connection with such Trizec Canada Share pursuant to (f), held by a Trizec Canada Shareholder who has validly

42


Table of Contents

  exercised Dissent Rights will be transferred by such Trizec Canada Shareholder to and be acquired by Newco, free and clear of all liens, charges, claims and encumbrances, and, in exchange therefor, such Trizec Canada Shareholder will have the right to be paid fair value for such Subordinate Voting Share in accordance with the Dissent Procedures.

      Assuming the conditions set out in the Merger and Arrangement Agreement have been satisfied or waived by the parties, upon obtaining the Final Order, Trizec Canada will file the Articles of Arrangement with the CBCA Director as soon as practicable thereafter, at which time the Arrangement will become effective.
      Trizec Canada will fund its obligations under the Plan of Arrangement in respect of the Trizec Canada Stock Options out of cash on hand and in respect of Trizec Canada Shares acquired by Trizec Canada for cancellation, out of cash on hand and proceeds of a loan to be advanced by Newco pursuant to the Arrangement. As a result of the completion of the Arrangement, Trizec Canada Shareholders will no longer have an ownership interest in Trizec Canada. In the event that the Arrangement does not proceed for any reason, including because it does not receive the requisite Trizec Canada Shareholder or Court approvals, Trizec Canada will continue as a publicly held company and has no present plan for any material change to its business.
Treatment of Trizec Canada Stock Options
      Pursuant to the Arrangement, all Trizec Canada Stock Options outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Arrangement will become fully vested and exercisable, whether or not vested or subject to any performance condition that has not been satisfied, and regardless of the price at which such options could be exercised at that time. Under the Arrangement, a holder of a Trizec Canada Stock Option will receive cash in the amount by which (i) the sum of $30.97 plus the Quarterly Dividend Amount exceeds (ii) the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by the noon exchange rate of the Bank of Canada on the business day immediately preceding the Effective Date) of the price at which such Trizec Canada Stock Option may be exercised, and such option will be cancelled. If the U.S. dollar equivalent of the exercise price of an option is equal to or greater than the amount described in (i) above, such option will be cancelled for no consideration.
Treatment of Trizec Canada Exchangeable Debentures
      The Exchangeable Debentures are exchangeable at the option of their holders for a fixed number of common shares of Barrick, subject to the right of Trizec Canada to deliver cash or a combination of cash and Barrick common shares in lieu of the prescribed number of Barrick common shares. Trizec Canada owns 30,292,560 Barrick common shares that have been pledged to the trustee under the indentures pursuant to which the Exchangeable Debentures were issued, as collateral to secure the holders’ exchange rights.
      Trizec Canada has the right to redeem the outstanding 3% Exchangeable Debentures at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest in cash. The obligation to pay the principal amount of the redemption price may be satisfied, at the option of Trizec Canada, by payment of either the exchange number of Barrick common shares, which is 32.2581 per $1,000 of debentures, or of cash in an amount equal to the current market price (as defined in the relevant indenture) of the exchange number of Barrick common shares. Trizec Canada has the right to redeem the outstanding floating rate Exchangeable Debentures at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest in cash plus, if the debentures are redeemed prior to 2023, payment in cash of an early redemption premium that in aggregate equals approximately $5.5 million. The obligation to pay the principal amount of the redemption price may be satisfied, at the option of Trizec Canada, by payment of either the exchange number of Barrick common shares, which is 52.4162 per $1,000 of debentures, or of cash in an amount equal to the current market price (as defined in the relevant indentures) of the exchange number of Barrick common shares.
      In connection with the Arrangement, Brookfield Properties has requested that Trizec Canada redeem the Exchangeable Debentures prior to closing and Trizec Canada has determined to comply with such request. Due to the lengthy period of time required to redeem the 3% Exchangeable Debentures, it is expected that the notice of redemption will be issued in early August, prior to the date of the Meeting, and therefore this series of Exchangeable Debentures will be redeemed whether or not the Arrangement Resolution is approved by Trizec Canada Shareholders. It is expected that notice of redemption of the floating rate Exchangeable Debentures will be given on or within two business days after the date on which the Final Order is obtained and that redemption of such Exchangeable Debentures will be effected prior to the Effective Date. The outstanding floating rate Exchangeable Debentures will be redeemed for Barrick common shares and the outstanding 3% Exchangeable Debentures will be redeemed for cash, Barrick common shares or a combination

thereof, as determined by Brookfield Properties at the time the applicable notice of redemption is issued. See also “The Merger and Arrangement Agreement — Pre-Closing Transactions” in this Circular.
Net Other Assets
      The $30.97 component of the Arrangement Consideration to be received by the Trizec Canada Shareholders represents $29.01 attributable to the shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock indirectly owned by Trizec Canada plus an additional $1.96 which reflects the agreed amount payable on account of Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets.
      Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets are used to fund its overhead expenses, the net interest expense in respect of the Exchangeable Debentures (and the redemption premium of approximately $5.5 million payable if the floating rate Exchangeable Debentures are redeemed) and to satisfy the other liabilities of Trizec Canada.
      In the course of carrying on business, Trizec Canada has engaged in various activities and transactions, including reorganizations and sales of businesses and assets. Trizec Canada believes that all liabilities related to its activities and transactions have been paid or provided for in its financial statements. However, there can be no certainty that, for example, relevant taxation authorities will not propose adjustments or take actions that may give rise to presently unanticipated liabilities that Trizec Canada’s tax losses may not be adequate or available to offset, or that other liabilities will not be asserted. In particular, certain tax audits have not progressed as expeditiously as originally anticipated, and consequently it is likely that notices of assessment and/or clearance certificates in respect of the relevant tax years will not have been received by August 15, 2007, the date following which Trizec Canada had anticipated that, but for the Arrangement, a significant number of Trizec Canada Shareholders would seek to redeem their Trizec Canada Shares. Absent the Arrangement, Trizec Canada believes that, with the prospect of significant redemptions, it may be necessary to take tax and other liabilities that may be asserted in the future into account in connection with redemptions of Trizec Canada Shares. Accordingly, an allowance for liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that may be asserted in the future may need to be made with respect to Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets.
      In the fall of 2005, Trizec Canada began exploring various alternatives to ensure that it maintains sufficient resources to satisfy all of its liabilities and that all Trizec Canada Shareholders are treated fairly and equitably in connection with redemptions of shares after August 2007. If the Arrangement does not proceed, Trizec Canada remains committed to ensuring that all Trizec Canada Shareholders, regardless of whether or when they elect to redeem their Trizec Canada Shares, will be treated equitably in respect of excess cash remaining after all of Trizec Canada’s liabilities have been discharged or otherwise provided for. Alternatives considered prior to the entering into of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement included a holdback of some or all of Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets, in lieu of an allowance for contingent and other liabilities in the calculation of Trizec Canada’s net asset value, until such time as all of its liabilities have been satisfied. If the Arrangement does not proceed, prior to August 15, 2007, a determination will be made by the Trizec Canada Board in respect of such alternatives to achieve fairness for all Trizec Canada Shareholders. Trizec Canada expects that if a holdback mechanism is adopted, it will provide for the receipt by redeeming Trizec Canada Shareholders of their pro rata share of the value of Trizec Canada’s investment in Trizec Properties and potentially cash reflecting a portion of the value of Trizec Canada’s Net Other Assets. Such Trizec Canada Shareholders would also be entitled to receive their pro rata share of Trizec Canada’s remaining Net Other Assets, if any, once all liabilities are ultimately discharged or otherwise provided for.
Stock Exchange Listing and Status as a Reporting Issuer
      On the Effective Date, the Subordinate Voting Shares will be delisted from the TSX. Following the Effective Date, an application will be made to the applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada for an order requesting that Trizec Canada cease to be a “reporting issuer” for the purposes of applicable securities legislation. As a result, Trizec Canada will no longer be subject to the ongoing disclosure and other obligations currently imposed upon it under such legislation. Trizec Canada will deregister the Subordinate Voting Shares under the Exchange Act, and thereafter will cease to be required to file reports with the SEC.
Interests of Directors and Senior Officers in the Arrangement and Related Transactions
      Directors and senior officers of Trizec Canada directly or indirectly hold in the aggregate 3,631,788 Subordinate Voting Shares and 7,522,283 Multiple Voting Shares, which securities will be exchanged on the Effective Date in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement. The directors and senior officers of Trizec Canada and certain other persons may have interests in the Mergers and the Arrangement that are different from, or in addition to, those of Trizec Canada Shareholders. These potentially differing interests are described below.

Table of Contents

      Trizec Canada Shares and Trizec Canada Stock Options
      As of the Record Date, there were 784,042 Trizec Canada Shares subject to Trizec Canada Stock Options, all of which were vested.
      The following table sets forth (i) the number of vested and unvested Trizec Canada Stock Options held by senior officers and directors of Trizec Canada with U.S. dollar converted exercise prices less than $30.97 and the weighted average exercise price thereof, (ii) the number of Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares directly or indirectly held by such senior officers and directors, in each case as of the Record Date and (iii) the aggregate consideration that each such senior officer and director will receive pursuant to the Arrangement with respect to the foregoing interests. For the purposes of this table, the Quarterly Dividend Amount payable in connection with the Arrangement has not been taken into account since it is not determinable at this time. In addition, an exchange rate from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars of 1.1204 has been used for indicative purposes only as the actual rate to be applied is not determinable at this time. The actual amount of the aggregate resulting consideration will depend on the Effective Date of the Arrangement, the actual amount of the Quarterly Dividend Amount and the actual currency exchange rate on the business day immediately prior to the Effective Date.

Pursuant to his employment agreement, if Mr. Wickham elects to terminate his employment following a change in control of Trizec Canada, he will become entitled to (i) a payment representing pro-rated current salary and annual minimum bonus based on a pre-determined schedule to a maximum of 14 months, (ii) payment of a long-term incentive award in the amount of $2,000,000, (iii) continuance of his benefits for a maximum period of 18 months and (iv) outplacement services of up to Cdn.$25,000.
      Trizec Canada entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Colin Chapin in February 2006, such agreement replacing his employment agreement of December 2003. The agreement provides that Mr. Chapin is entitled to (i) an annual salary of Cdn.$350,000 and an annual bonus of not less than Cdn.$245,000, (ii) an annual discretionary bonus component determined by the compensation committee of the Trizec Canada Board and (iii) a long-term incentive award of $1,000,000 payable if Trizec Canada’s available cash exceeds a set amount, subject to adjustment, at the earlier of the sale or distribution of all or substantially all of Trizec Canada’s assets, winding-up and/or dissolution of Trizec Canada, and December 1, 2007. Pursuant to his employment agreement, if Mr. Chapin elects to terminate his employment following a change in control of Trizec Canada, he will become entitled to (i) salary and pro-rated minimum bonus up to the date of termination, (ii) payment of a long-term incentive award in the amount of $1,000,000,

(iii) continuance of his benefits for a maximum period of 18 months and (iv) outplacement services of up to Cdn.$25,000.
      Certain other employees of Trizec Canada will become entitled to a severance award if their employment is not continued following the completion of the Arrangement. Such severance award includes (i) one-twelfth of the employee’s annual base salary and previous year’s bonus for each year of employment with Trizec Canada or a predecessor corporation, (ii) payment of unused vacation days plus a pro rata bonus award for the year in which employment is terminated, (iii) ongoing benefits until the end of the notice of termination period or until becoming eligible for benefits with a new employer and (iv) provision of a program of employment relocation counselling.
      Interests in Mergers
      None of the directors or senior officers of Trizec Canada owns any shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock or Trizec Operating Company units. As a result, they will not receive any additional consideration in connection with the Mergers with respect to such shares or units.
      Certain directors and senior officers of Trizec Canada own Trizec Properties Warrants. Under the terms of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the Trizec Properties Merger, all of the Trizec Properties Warrants, including those held by directors and senior officers of Trizec Canada, whether or not exercisable, payable or vested, will become fully exercisable, payable or vested and free of any forfeiture restrictions.
      The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Trizec Properties Warrants held by senior officers and directors of Trizec Canada. The information set out in such table assumes that the amount of the consideration per share of Trizec Properties Common Stock payable under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement is $29.01 and does not include the pro rata portion of the unpaid regular quarterly dividends payable on Trizec Properties Common Stock up to the date on which the Trizec Properties Merger is completed since it is not determinable at this time. The actual amount will differ depending on the effective date of the Trizec Properties Merger.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
      The Merger and Arrangement Agreement provides, among other things, that for a period of at least six years after the Effective Date, the organizational documents of Trizec Canada will contain indemnification provisions that are no less favourable than the indemnification provisions in its existing constating documents, and that those provisions will not be modified during that period in any manner that would affect adversely the rights of any person who at or prior to the Arrangement was a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary of Trizec Canada or its subsidiaries, except as required by law and then only to the minimum extent required by Canadian law.
      Parent and Acquisitionco have agreed to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, persons who were at the date of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement or during the period between the signing of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated therein serving as a director, officer or trustee of Trizec Canada or its subsidiaries with respect to any legal action, suit or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation arising out of or relating to such service occurring at or prior to the Arrangement and, subject to certain conditions, will pay or advance related reasonable legal fees, costs, obligations and expenses incurred by them.
      The Merger and Arrangement Agreement requires that, with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the Arrangement, Trizec Canada maintain in effect, for a period of at least six years after the

46


Table of Contents

Effective Date, its and its subsidiaries’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided, however, that Trizec Canada may instead substitute policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured. This requirement is subject to a maximum cost per year of coverage of 300% of the annual premiums paid for such insurance prior to the date of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement. If the cost per year of insurance coverage exceeds such maximum amount, Trizec Canada must obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to 300% of the annual premiums paid prior to the date of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement.
      Parent and Mergerco have agreed that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the effective time of the Arrangement now existing in favour of the current or former directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents or fiduciaries of Trizec Canada or its subsidiaries as provided in the existing constating documents (or, as applicable, the constating documents of any subsidiaries) and certain indemnification agreements of Trizec Canada or its subsidiaries will continue in full force and effect following the Arrangement.
      The Merger and Arrangement Agreement provides that Parent will have the right to participate in the defence or settlement of any shareholder or member litigation against Trizec Canada, Trizec Properties and Trizec Operating Company and their respective directors or officers relating to the Arrangement or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger and Arrangement Agreement; provided, however, that no such settlement will be agreed to without Parent’s consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
      The obligations described above regarding directors’ and officers’ indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance must be assumed by any successor entity to Trizec Canada as a result of any consolidation, merger or transfer of all or substantially all of its properties and assets.
Amendments
      Trizec Canada has the right to amend, modify or supplement the Plan of Arrangement at any time prior to the Effective Date provided that any such amendment, modification or supplement must be (i) in writing, (ii) filed with the Court and, if made following the Meeting, approved by the Court, (iii) agreed to in writing by Acquisitionco and Parent and (iv) communicated to Trizec Canada Shareholders if and as required by the Court. In addition, Trizec Canada may unilaterally amend, modify or supplement the Plan of Arrangement where such amendment, modification or supplement concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of Trizec Canada, is of an administrative nature required to better give effect to the implementation of the Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the financial or economic interests of any Trizec Canada Shareholder.
Expenses of the Arrangement
      The estimated fees, costs and expenses of Trizec Canada in connection with the Arrangement including, without limitation, financial advisors’ fees, filing fees, legal and accounting fees and printing and mailing costs, excluding taxes, are anticipated to be approximately $9.5 million. Pursuant to the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, all expenses of the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated therein are to be paid by the party incurring such expenses, subject to certain exceptions in the event of a breach or termination of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement.
THE MERGERS
      The following contains a summary only of the description of the Mergers. Trizec Canada Shareholders are urged to read in its entirety the Merger and Arrangement Agreement reproduced as Annex D to this Circular.
      Pursuant to the Trizec Properties Merger, Mergerco will merge with and into Trizec Properties, Mergerco’s separate corporate existence will cease, and Trizec Properties will survive the merger with Parent owning all of Trizec Properties Common Stock not owned by Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries. In the Trizec Properties Merger, each share of Trizec Properties Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Trizec Properties Merger (other than shares held in treasury or owned by Trizec Canada, its subsidiaries, Parent and its affiliates, and shares held by Trizec Properties Common Stockholders who properly exercise dissent rights under Delaware law) will be converted into, and cancelled in exchange for, one share of newly created, fully paid and non-assessable redeemable preferred stock of the surviving corporation. Immediately after the completion of the Trizec Properties Merger, each share of redeemable preferred stock will be redeemed without further action on the part of the holder thereof for the right to receive $29.01 in cash plus an additional cash amount that represents a pro rata portion of the regular quarterly

47


Table of Contents

dividend payable on Trizec Properties Common Stock and allocable to the quarter in which the Trizec Properties Merger closes, in each case, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. All of the properties, assets and liabilities of Trizec Properties and Mergerco will become those of the surviving corporation. Following the completion of the Trizec Properties Merger, the Trizec Properties Common Stock will be delisted from the NYSE and deregistered under the Exchange Act and will no longer be publicly traded.
      Immediately after the completion of the Trizec Properties Merger, Merger Operating Company will, pursuant to the Operating Company Merger, merge with and into Trizec Operating Company, Merger Operating Company’s separate existence will cease and Trizec Operating Company will survive the merger and continue to exist with the surviving corporation of the Trizec Properties Merger being its sole managing member. In the Operating Company Merger, each common unit of limited liability company interest (other than units held by Trizec Properties and its subsidiaries) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Operating Company Merger will be converted into, and cancelled in exchange for, one newly created and fully paid redeemable preferred unit. Holders of such redeemable preferred units will be entitled to elect to (i) redeem each such redeemable preferred unit at any time (including immediately after the effective time of the Operating Company Merger) in exchange for an amount per unit equal to $29.01 in cash plus an additional cash amount that represents a pro rata portion of the regular quarterly dividend payable on Trizec Properties Common Stock and allocable to the quarter in which the Trizec Properties Merger closes, in each case, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions on such redeemable preferred units, (ii) retain each such redeemable preferred unit, or (iii) convert each such redeemable preferred unit on a one-for-one basis within 15 days following the Operating Company Merger into a Class B common unit in the surviving operating company. All of the property of Trizec Operating Company will be vested in the surviving operating company and all of the liabilities of Trizec Operating Company will attach to the surviving operating company.

      It is contemplated that the Mergers will be completed on the same date as the Arrangement. The following chart shows the organizational structure of the Trizec Related Entities immediately prior to, and after, the Arrangement and the Mergers:
(FLOW CHART)
FUNDING OF THE ARRANGEMENT AND THE MERGERS
      In connection with the Arrangement, Trizec Canada and Newco will pay an aggregate of approximately $1.9 billion to the Trizec Canada Shareholders (assuming no Trizec Canada Shareholders exercise and perfect their Dissent Rights) and the holders of Trizec Canada Stock Options. In connection with the Mergers, Parent will cause an aggregate of approximately $3.0 billion to be paid to the stockholders of Trizec Properties (other than Trizec Canada, its subsidiaries, Parent and affiliates of Parent), the members of Trizec Operating Company (assuming none of such members elect to convert their preferred units of the surviving operating company into a continuing operating unit of the surviving operating company, in each case, in lieu of redeeming them for cash consideration) and the holders of Trizec Properties’ outstanding stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and rights, deferred restricted stock units and rights and warrants. These payments are expected to be funded by a combination of equity contributions to Parent and Newco and debt financing.
      In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, Parent has obtained a debt commitment letter from Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. providing for a commitment of debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.6 billion, provided that if additional properties of Trizec Properties are financed under such debt commitment letter, such principal amount will be increased by 75% of the allocated value of such properties. Merrill Lynch Mortgage Lending, Inc. has been joined in its commitment by Bear Stearns Commercial

Table of Contents

Mortgage, Inc., Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc.’s affiliate German American Capital Corporation and Royal Bank of Canada. In addition to the payment of the consideration for the Mergers and the Arrangement, the funds to be borrowed pursuant to such debt commitment letter will be used for purposes such as reserves, refinancing of some existing debt and for other costs and expenses related to the Mergers and the Arrangement. The funds to be borrowed under such debt commitment letter are to be secured by, among other things, a first priority mortgage lien on certain office complexes which are wholly-owned or ground leased by Trizec Properties and certain other collateral required by the lenders.
      The debt commitment letter terminates on December 31, 2006, unless extended in accordance with the debt commitment letter, and is conditional on the completion of the Mergers and the Arrangement and other customary conditions. The lenders have the right to terminate the debt commitment letter under certain circumstances, including if Parent is entitled to terminate the Merger and Arrangement Agreement due to a breach of certain representations and warranties by Trizec Properties or Trizec Canada or a material adverse effect with respect to Trizec Properties or Trizec Canada.
      The Merger and Arrangement Agreement does not contain a financing condition. Under the terms of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, Parent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange its debt financing on the terms and conditions described in the debt commitment letter. In the event that any portion of Parent’s debt financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the debt commitment letter, Parent is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain that portion from alternative sources. Parent is obligated to keep Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties informed of the status of its efforts to arrange debt financing and to give Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties prompt notice of any material breach by any party of the debt commitment letter or of any termination of the debt commitment letter. Before it permits any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, the debt commitment letter which would or would be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect or delay in any material respect Parent’s ability to consummate the Mergers and the Arrangement, Parent must first obtain the written consent of Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties. With certain exceptions, Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties have agreed to provide, and to cause their respective subsidiaries and representatives to provide, all reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the debt financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent.
      If all other closing conditions have been satisfied or waived but Parent fails to obtain adequate financing to complete the Mergers and the Arrangement, such failure will constitute a breach of its covenants under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement. In that event, so long as the Trizec Related Entities are not in material breach of their respective obligations under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada would be entitled to terminate the Merger and Arrangement Agreement and receive from Parent an amount equal to all reasonable expenses incurred by Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada in connection with the proposed transactions, up to $15.5 million for Trizec Properties and up to $9.5 million for Trizec Canada. In addition, the Trizec Related Entities may take legal action against Brookfield Properties to seek damages of up to a maximum of $1.1 billion less the amount of any actual expense reimbursements received by the Trizec Related Entities under the Brookfield Properties Guarantee.
THE MERGER AND ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT
      The following is a summary only of certain material terms of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Circular as Annex D. This summary and certain capitalized terms referred to therein may not contain all of the information about the Merger and Arrangement Agreement that is important to Trizec Canada Shareholders.

Restrictions on Solicitation of Competing Transactions
      Trizec Canada has agreed that between June 5, 2006 and the Effective Date and subject to specified exceptions summarized below, Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries will not, nor shall any of them knowingly permit their respective representatives to:
  initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information or assistance) any inquiries or the making of any proposal or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal;
 
  enter into discussions or negotiate with any person in furtherance of those inquiries or to obtain a Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal; or
 
  enter into any agreement in principle, contract or agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in accordance with the Merger and Arrangement Agreement) relating to a Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal.
      Prior to the approval of the Arrangement by the Trizec Canada Shareholders, following the receipt of an unsolicited bona fide written Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal, the Trizec Canada Board may contact the person making the proposal and its advisors solely for the purpose of clarifying the proposal and any material terms thereof and the conditions to and likelihood of consummation, to determine whether such Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Trizec Canada Superior Proposal and, if the Trizec Canada Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Trizec Canada Superior Proposal and determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Canadian law, the Trizec Canada Board may:
  furnish non-public information with respect to Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries to the person who made such proposal, provided that such person has entered into a confidentiality agreement with Trizec Canada containing terms that are at least as favorable to Trizec Canada as those contained in the confidentiality agreement entered into with Parent, and the Trizec Canada Board concurrently discloses the same non-public information to Parent if not previously disclosed;
 
  participate in negotiations regarding such Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal; or
 
  following receipt of a proposal that constitutes a Combined Superior Proposal, terminate the Merger and Arrangement Agreement to accept such proposal pursuant to the relevant termination provisions described below under the heading “Termination of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement”.
      Trizec Canada has agreed to promptly notify Parent (but not less than 24 hours after initial receipt) of its receipt of any Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal. In such notice, Trizec Canada has agreed to provide a copy of the Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal, and any relevant details, including the identity of the parties making such proposal. Trizec Canada has also agreed to keep Parent informed on a prompt basis of the status of and any material developments regarding any such Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal. Under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, Trizec Canada may not, and may not permit any of its subsidiaries to, terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing standstill or confidentiality agreement to which it or its subsidiaries are a party and Trizec Canada has agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, enforce the provisions of any such agreements. Trizec Canada also agreed to, and to cause its subsidiaries to, terminate or cause to be terminated any existing discussions, negotiations, or communications with any parties regarding any Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal.
      Under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, Trizec Canada is obligated to call and hold the Meeting of its Trizec Canada Shareholders for the purpose of approving the Arrangement. In connection with the Meeting, the Trizec Canada Board is contractually required to (i) recommend to the Trizec Canada Shareholders that they vote for the Arrangement Resolution, and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from the Trizec Canada Shareholders proxies for the Arrangement Resolution and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure such approval. However, the Trizec Canada Board may determine not to make, or may determine to change or to withdraw its recommendation and not solicit such proxies from the Trizec Canada Shareholders or take such other necessary or advisable action in favour of such approval if, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Trizec Canada Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Canadian law. In the event that Trizec Canada receives a bona fide written unsolicited Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal, Trizec Canada may delay the mailing of the Circular or the Meeting for a reasonable period of time as would allow the Trizec

Canada Board to consider such Trizec Canada Acquisition Proposal and to determine the effect, if any, on the recommendation of the Trizec Canada Board (but in any event no longer than ten days). If there is an insufficient number of Trizec Canada Shares represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting to constitute a quorum or approve the Arrangement Resolution, Trizec Canada may adjourn or postpone the Meeting for up to ten business days, so long as during such period, Trizec Canada uses its reasonable best efforts to obtain a quorum and the requisite vote to approve the Arrangement Resolution as promptly as practicable. Unless the Merger and Arrangement Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Trizec Canada is obligated to hold the Meeting notwithstanding that the Trizec Canada Board may have changed its recommendation.
      Trizec Properties and Trizec Operating Company have agreed, pursuant to the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, to provisions substantially similar to those described above with respect to a Trizec Properties Acquisition Proposal, and with respect to their respective approval process in relation to the Mergers.
Employee Benefits
      For a period of not less than 12 months following the Effective Date, except as required by any applicable collective agreement, Parent has agreed that it will cause Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries to provide all employees who remain employed by Trizec Canada or its subsidiaries, with base salary, cash incentive compensation and the value of any equity-based incentive and other compensation in an amount at least equal to the same level that was provided to each such continuing employee, or to which such continuing employee was entitled, prior to the effective time of the Arrangement and benefits (other than equity-based benefits) that are no less favourable in the aggregate than those provided immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement. Parent has also agreed to honour all severance, change of control and similar plans and agreements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement.
      In addition, Parent has agreed to provide each continuing employee with credit for service with Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries with respect to any employee benefit plans established by Parent or its subsidiaries under which continuing employees may be eligible to participate after the effective time of the Arrangement to the same extent as such employee was entitled to credit for such service under the benefit plans of Trizec Canada and its subsidiaries, provided that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefits and shall not be counted for the purpose of crediting benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan. Parent has also agreed, for the purposes of any employee health benefit plans established by Parent or its subsidiaries under which continuing employees may be eligible to participate after the effective time of the Arrangement, to cause each continuing employee to receive credit for all amounts paid by such continuing employee for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the parallel plan, program or arrangement of Parent or Trizec Canada.
      Parent has also agreed to provide similar benefits with respect to the employees of Trizec Properties and its subsidiaries.
Pre-Closing Transactions
      Parent may request that, immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, Trizec Canada or Trizec Properties, among other things, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) convert any subsidiary organized as a corporation or limited partnership into a limited liability company, (ii) sell the stock, partnership interests or limited liability interests owned by it in any subsidiary at a price designated by Parent, (iii) sell any of its or its subsidiaries’ assets at a price designated by Parent, (iv) effect certain reorganizations of the business of the Trizec Related Entities and (v) cooperate with Acquisitionco to structure and implement any such reorganization. Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties shall consider any such request in good faith having regard to, among other things, the following: (i) the foregoing transactions will not delay or prevent completion of the Mergers or the Arrangement, (ii) the transactions will be implemented as close to the effective time of the Trizec Properties Merger as possible and Parent has either waived or confirmed all conditions to the Mergers and the Arrangement have been satisfied, (iii) Parent may not require the Trizec Related Entities and their subsidiaries to take any action that contravenes applicable law or their organizational documents or a material contract, (iv) any such actions or transactions would be contingent upon confirmation by Parent that Parent, Mergerco and Acquisitionco are prepared to proceed immediately with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Arrangement Agreement and any other evidence reasonably requested by the Trizec Related Entities that the closing will occur, (v) these actions (or the inability to complete them) will not affect or modify the obligations of Parent, Mergerco and Acquisitionco under

the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, and (vi) Trizec Canada, Trizec Properties and their respective subsidiaries will not be required to take any action that could adversely affect the classification of Trizec Properties as a REIT or Trizec Canada’s qualification as a “mutual fund corporation” as defined in the Tax Act or that could result in any additional Canadian or U.S. federal, state or local income tax being imposed on the equity holders of Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada. Parent shall advance to, or reimburse, Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred, and Parent, Mergerco and Acquisitionco will indemnify Trizec Properties and Trizec Canada from all liabilities relating to these pre-closing transactions that are undertaken by the Trizec Related Entities and their respective subsidiaries at Parent’s request.
      On August 4, 2006, Trizec Canada entered into an agreement with Brookfield Properties and certain other parties relating to transactions that Brookfield Properties has requested that Trizec Canada undertake prior to or as part of the Plan of Arrangement in order to accommodate Brookfield Properties’ plans for Trizec Canada following the completion of the Arrangement. The requested transactions include the redemption of the Exchangeable Debentures (see the heading “The Arrangement — Treatment of Trizec Canada Exchangeable Debentures”), the disposition, at Brookfield’s request, of marketable investments owned by Trizec Canada, certain internal transactions relating to indebtedness of Trizec Canada owing to one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and certain changes to the form of Plan of Arrangement previously agreed, principally to allow for the purchase by Trizec Canada of Trizec Canada Shares held by Certifying Shareholders and the payment of a capital gains dividend by way of issuance of Subordinate Voting Shares (see the heading “The Arrangement — Summary and Effects of the Arrangement”). Pursuant to the agreement, Brookfield Properties has agreed to indemnify Trizec Canada in connection with the requested transactions substantially on the basis described in the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph.

The Plan of Arrangement attached to this Circular as Annex G reflects the changes requested by Brookfield in the agreement referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

      Each party to the Merger and Arrangement Agreement has agreed to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any legal action, including administrative or judicial action, asserted by any party in order to avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed, terminated or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order that in whole or in part restricts, delays, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Mergers or the Arrangement, including by vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal.

      Pursuant to the Trizec Canada Support Agreement, Trizec Canada has agreed, while such agreement is in effect, and except as contemplated thereby, not to (and to cause its subsidiaries not to) (i) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of, or consent to any of the foregoing with respect to, any or all of the Trizec Properties shares that are subject to the agreement or any right or interest therein, (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to any matter covered by clause (i), (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of the Trizec Properties shares that are subject to the agreement except to Brookfield Properties or any individual designated by Brookfield Properties, (iv) deposit any of the holdings into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of the Trizec Properties shares that are subject to the agreement or (v) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Trizec Canada contained in the Trizec Canada Support Agreement being untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Trizec Canada from performing its obligations under the Trizec Canada Support Agreement.
Brookfield Properties Guarantee
      In connection with the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, pursuant to the Brookfield Properties Guarantee, Brookfield Properties has agreed to unconditionally guarantee the prompt and complete payment when due of the payment obligations and the timely performance when required of all other obligations of Parent, Mergerco and Acquisitionco that arise under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement, in an amount in the aggregate not to exceed $1.1 billion. The Brookfield Properties Guarantee is not subject to an escrow of any funds supporting it and will terminate on the earlier of (i) the closing of the Mergers and the Arrangement and payment of all obligations due by

62


Table of Contents

Parent, Mergerco and Acquisitionco under the Merger and Arrangement Agreement at such time, and (ii) the termination of the Merger and Arrangement Agreement by written consent of the parties thereto.
      Trizec Canada and Trizec Properties cannot seek specific performance to require the Buyer Parties to complete the Arrangement and the Mergers, and their exclusive remedy for the failure of the Buyer Parties to complete the Arrangement and the Mergers is to seek damages up to the amount of the Brookfield Properties Guarantee.
PRINCIPAL LEGAL MATTERS
Court Approval and Completion of the Arrangement
      The Arrangement requires Court approval under the CBCA. The court proceeding necessary to obtain that approval was commenced on August 1, 2006 by Notice of Application in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The Notice of Application is set forth in Annex B to this Circular. On August 8, 2006, prior to the mailing of this Circular, the Interim Order was granted providing for the calling and holding of the Meeting and certain other procedural matters. A copy of the Interim Order is set forth in Annex C to this Circular.
      Following approval of the Arrangement by the Trizec Canada Shareholders, at a hearing scheduled for 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on September 14, 2006 in the Court at 393 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, an application will be made to the Court for the Final Order. The Court in hearing the motion for the Final Order will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. At the hearing, any Trizec Canada Shareholder or other interested party who wishes to participate or to be represented or to present evidence or argument may do so, subject to filing with the Court a notice of appearance in accordance with the Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure, serving such notice of appearance upon the solicitors for Trizec Canada and Newco and upon all other parties who have filed a notice of appearance and satisfying any other requirements as provided in the Interim Order. At the hearing for the Final Order, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement. The Court may approve the Arrangement either as proposed or as amended in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit. In considering the fairness of an arrangement, courts in Canada usually look at factors such as the level and nature of shareholder approval; the level of support from the board of directors (that is, has the board unanimously recommended the transaction); whether a fairness opinion has been provided by an independent and reputable financial advisor; whether dissent rights have been provided and the degree to which shareholders have exercised them; whether the information provided to shareholders was of a quantity and quality sufficient to enable them to make an informed decision; and whether the application for a fairness determination is actively opposed. The Court also considers the substantive fairness of the arrangement, largely based on the shareholder vote, the fairness opinions, and other factors such as whether the transaction provides shareholders with a premium over the share price before the announcement of the transaction.
      Assuming that the Final Order is granted, and that the other conditions set forth in the Merger and Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived by the parties for whose benefit they exist, then the Articles of Arrangement will be filed with the CBCA Director to give effect to the Arrangement and all other arrangements and documents necessary to complete the Arrangement will be delivered as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
Principal Regulatory Approvals
      Competition Act (Canada)
      Under the Competition Act, a transaction that exceeds certain financial thresholds may require prior notification (a “Notifiable Transaction”) to the Commissioner of Competition (the “Commissioner”) unless the Commissioner issues an advance ruling certificate under section 102 of the Competition Act (an “ARC”) or waives the filing obligation in respect of the transaction. If a transaction is a Notifiable Transaction, it may not be completed until the applicable statutory waiting period of either 14 or 42 days has expired, or until the Commissioner has either issued an ARC or, in lieu of issuing an ARC, has waived the filing obligation. However, the Commissioner’s review of a transaction may take longer than the statutory waiting period.
      The Arrangement is a Notifiable Transaction. Brookfield Properties filed a request for an ARC with the Commissioner on July 27, 2006 and received such certificate on August 2, 2006.

      Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
      The HSR Act provides that transactions such as the Trizec Properties Merger may not be completed until certain information has been submitted to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. On July 21, 2006, entities and individuals who are deemed to control Trizec Properties and Brookfield Properties under the HSR Act and related regulations filed a Notification and Report Form with such Antitrust Division and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and requested an early termination of the waiting period. Early termination was granted by the relevant authorities on July 28, 2006.
INFORMATION CONCERNING TRIZEC CANADA
General
      Trizec Canada was incorporated under the CBCA on January 29, 2002. On May 8, 2002, Trizec Hahn Corporation (“Trizec Hahn”) completed a plan of arrangement that resulted in Trizec Properties, which owned all of Trizec Hahn’s U.S. assets and certain non-U.S. assets, becoming a publicly-traded U.S. REIT and Trizec Hahn becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trizec Canada. Trizec Canada currently indirectly owns approximately 38.1% of the shares of Trizec Properties Common Stock, representing one share of Trizec Properties Common Stock for each outstanding Trizec Canada Share, and is primarily engaged in the real estate business in the U.S. through its interest in Trizec Properties. Trizec Canada’s registered office is located at BCE Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3820, P.O. Box 800, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T3.
Description of Trizec Canada Shares
      As at the Record Date, 52,400,097 Subordinate Voting Shares and 7,522,283 Multiple Voting Shares were issued and outstanding. The Articles of Trizec Canada provide that the Multiple Voting Shares carry 50 votes per share and that the Subordinate Voting Shares carry one vote per share. Mr. Peter Munk, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a director of Trizec Canada, beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over all of the outstanding Multiple Voting Shares and 1,972,435 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing approximately 88.23% of the votes attached to all outstanding voting shares of Trizec Canada. Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement described below, Mr. Munk has agreed not to vote more than that number of Multiple Voting Shares carrying votes, in the aggregate, that represent a simple majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter by all holders of voting securities of Trizec Canada in the aggregate. As at the Record Date, the Trizec Canada Shares subject to the PMC Support Agreement that are eligible to be voted at the Meeting represented approximately 51.9% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Trizec Canada Shares.
      The rights attaching to the Multiple Voting Shares are subject to the limitations contained in the Articles of Trizec Canada. These include a provision that Multiple Voting Shares will convert automatically into Subordinate Voting Shares if, during the time when Mr. Munk is a director of Trizec Canada, they are transferred, except in the case of (i) a transfer to a member of Mr. Munk’s immediate family or a corporation owned by them, provided that the transferee is a Canadian (as that term is defined in the Investment Canada Act) and Mr. Munk or his immediate family beneficially own a majority of the Multiple Voting Shares, or (ii) a transfer to a purchaser who has offered to purchase each of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares for consideration identical to that offered for each of the Multiple Voting Shares and who thereafter would own a majority of the Multiple Voting Shares. Furthermore, upon Mr. Munk ceasing to be a director of Trizec Canada, the Multiple Voting Shares, including any that may have been transferred to a Canadian member of Mr. Munk’s immediate family, will convert automatically into Subordinate Voting Shares unless the Multiple Voting Shares are then held by a person who, at the time of acquiring the Multiple Voting Shares, made an offer to purchase each of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares for consideration identical to that offered for each of the Multiple Voting Shares. The Multiple Voting Shares are convertible into Subordinate Voting Shares, in the foregoing circumstances and at the option of the holder, on the basis of one Subordinate Voting Share for each Multiple Voting Share converted.
Voting Trust Agreement
      Under the Voting Trust Agreement dated April 23, 2002 between P.M. Capital, Mr. Peter Munk, Trizec Canada and CIBC Mellon Trust Company, as trustee, P.M. Capital has agreed not to vote more than that number of Multiple

64


Table of Contents

Voting Shares carrying votes, in the aggregate, that represent a simple majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter by all holders of voting securities of Trizec Canada in the aggregate.
      Pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, P.M. Capital has also agreed not to sell any Multiple Voting Shares under circumstances in which securities legislation would require the same offer or a follow-up offer to be made to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares if the sale by P.M. Capital was a sale of Subordinate Voting Shares, unless a concurrent offer, identical in all material respects, is made to each holder of Subordinate Voting Shares to purchase the same percentage of Subordinate Voting Shares as is being offered to be purchased from each holder of Multiple Voting Shares to whom the offer is being made.
Required Approval Threshold for the Arrangement Resolution
      The Interim Order states that, for the Arrangement to be implemented, the Arrangement Resolution must be passed, with or without variation, by a 662/3% majority of all the votes cast by the Trizec Canada Shareholders, with the Subordinate Voting Shares voting on a one-vote-per-share basis and the Multiple Voting Shares being entitled, in accordance with the Articles of Trizec Canada and the Voting Trust Agreement, to vote a simple majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter by Trizec Canada Shareholders in the aggregate.

Recent Developments
Tri-Granit Indemnification Claim
      In connection with the sale of its interest in the Tri-Granit joint venture, Trizec Canada provided a certain indemnification in favour of the purchasers that expired at the end of December 2005. During the fourth quarter of 2005 Trizec Canada received a notice that a claim under this indemnification was being made in the amount of $2.0 million (1.7 million). Mr. Peter Munk, the controlling shareholder of Trizec Canada, is considered related to the party that made the claim under the indemnification as a result of his indirect shareholdings in the claimant. Trizec Canada opposed the claim on the basis that it was without merit and the claimant has subsequently fully released Trizec Canada from the claim.
Monetization of Other Assets
      As part of its monetization of European assets, Trizec Canada received vendor take back notes (approximately $12.2 million (10.0 million at June 30, 2006)). Trizec Canada also received an additional vendor take back note, in the amount of $4.8 million (4.0 million at June 30, 2006). Payment under the latter note was dependent upon the fair market value of certain European development properties at the earlier of the end of March 2007 or the date by which the development properties have been disposed of, and was recorded net of a provision that reduced its carrying value

to $nil. In the third quarter of 2006 Trizec Canada settled the foregoing vendor take back notes for $18.1 million (14.1 million) including $1.1 million (0.9 million) of accrued interest.

PRINCIPAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
      In the opinion of Davies, the following summary describes the material Canadian federal income tax considerations in respect of the Arrangement generally applicable to a holder of Subordinate Voting Shares who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, holds such Subordinate Voting Shares as capital property, deals at arm’s length, and is not affiliated with, each of Trizec Canada and Newco (a “Holder”). This summary assumes that Trizec Canada has been and will be a “mutual fund corporation” for purposes of the Tax Act at all relevant times.
      Subordinate Voting Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to a Holder unless the Holder holds such Subordinate Voting Shares in the course of carrying on a business or acquired such Subordinate Voting Shares in

67


Table of Contents

a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade. Certain Canadian resident Holders whose Subordinate Voting Shares might not otherwise be considered capital property may, in certain circumstances, make an irrevocable election in accordance with subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have the Subordinate Voting Shares and all other “Canadian securities” as defined in the Tax Act owned by such Holder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years, deemed to be capital property.
      This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder in force as of the date hereof, and counsel’s understanding, based on publicly available materials published in writing prior to the date hereof, of the current administrative practices of the CRA. This summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act and the regulations thereunder publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and assumes that all Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed. However, there can be no assurance that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form, or at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative practice, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider other federal or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations described herein.
      This summary is not applicable to a Holder that is a “financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act for the purposes of the “mark-to-market” rules, to a Holder that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act, or to a Holder an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” within the meaning of the Tax Act. It does not apply to a Holder who acquired the Subordinate Voting Shares on exercise of an option. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
      This summary does not describe the tax consequences to holders of Trizec Canada Stock Options in respect of the exercise or cancellation of such Trizec Canada Stock Options prior to or pursuant to the Arrangement. Holders of Trizec Canada Stock Options should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
      This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all federal income tax considerations. Consequently, Holders may wish to consult their own tax advisors for advice regarding the income tax consequences to them of disposing of their Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, having regard to their own particular circumstances, and any other consequences to them of such transactions under Canadian federal, provincial, local and foreign tax laws.
      All amounts relating to the disposition or acquisition of the Subordinate Voting Shares and the receipt of the dividend payable by the issuance of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement (the “Share Dividend”) must be reported in Canadian dollars for purposes of the Tax Act. Amounts paid in U.S. dollars must be converted into Canadian dollars on the basis of the Canadian-U.S. dollar exchange rate at the relevant time for purposes of the Tax Act.
Holders Resident in Canada
      The following portion of this summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty, and at all relevant times, is resident or deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”).
      Purchase for Cancellation from Certifying Shareholders who Dispose of Subordinate Voting Shares to Trizec Canada
      A Resident Holder who is a Certifying Shareholder who disposes of Subordinate Voting Shares to Trizec Canada under the Arrangement will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the Canadian dollar equivalent of the cash paid to the Resident Holder for such Subordinate Voting Shares under the Arrangement, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such Subordinate Voting Shares immediately before the disposition. The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Subordinate Voting Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received or deemed to be received on the Subordinate Voting Share, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply to a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary.

      Share Dividend Paid to Shareholders Other than Certifying Shareholders who Dispose of Subordinate Voting Shares to Trizec Canada
      The Share Dividend received by a Resident Holder of Subordinate Voting Shares, other than a Certifying Shareholder in respect of Trizec Canada Shares it elects to dispose of to Trizec Canada, will not be treated as a taxable dividend but will be deemed to be a capital gain realized by the holder from the disposition of capital property. The amount of the capital gain, and the cost of the Subordinate Voting Shares issued to a Resident Holder in payment of the Share Dividend, will be the Canadian dollar equivalent of the amount added to Trizec Canada’s capital in respect of its Subordinate Voting Shares on the issuance of such shares. Such cost must be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other Subordinate Voting Shares held by the Resident Holder at the time the Share Dividend is paid for purposes of thereafter determining the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of each Subordinate Voting Share.
      Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares by Shareholders Other than Certifying Shareholders Disposing of Subordinate Voting Shares to Trizec Canada under the Arrangement
      A Resident Holder who disposes of Subordinate Voting Shares to Newco under the Arrangement will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the cash paid to the Resident Holder for such Subordinate Voting Shares under the Arrangement, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such Subordinate Voting Shares immediately before the disposition. The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Subordinate Voting Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends (other than the Share Dividend) received or deemed to be received on the Subordinate Voting Share including any ordinary course dividend declared and paid to a Resident Holder after the date hereof, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply to a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. A Resident Holder to whom these provisions of the Tax Act may apply should consult its own tax advisors regarding the consequences, if any, of the application of these rules and whether it should choose to be a Certifying Shareholder.
      Capital Gains and Capital Losses
      Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized in such taxation year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years in the circumstances described in the Tax Act.
      Capital gains realized by individuals and certain trusts may give rise to a liability for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.
      Additional Refundable Tax
      A Resident Holder that is throughout the year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” as defined in the Tax Act may be liable to pay an additional refundable tax of 62/3% on certain investment income, including taxable capital gains, interest and dividends that are not deductible in computing taxable income.
      Dissenting Resident Holders
      A Resident Holder who dissents from the Arrangement will be considered to have disposed of such Holder’s Subordinate Voting Shares (including those received as a Share Dividend) to Newco and will be entitled to receive a payment from Trizec Canada of an amount equal to the fair value of the Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Resident Holder. A dissenting Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the payment received from Trizec Canada on the disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares, less any interest awarded by the Court, exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such Subordinate Voting Shares immediately before the disposition. The taxation of capital gains and capital losses is described above. The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Subordinate Voting Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends (other than the Share Dividend) received or deemed to be received on the Subordinate Voting Share including any ordinary course dividend declared and paid to a Resident Holder after the date hereof, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply

to a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Any interest awarded by a Court must be included in the dissenting Resident Holder’s income for the purposes of the Tax Act.
Holders Not Resident in Canada
      The following portion of this summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention, and at all relevant times, is not and has not been a resident or deemed to be a resident of Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, the Subordinate Voting Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a “Non- Resident Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a non-resident that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere.
      Share Dividend Paid to Shareholders Other than Certifying Shareholders who Dispose of Subordinate Voting Shares to Trizec Canada
      The Share Dividend received by a Non-Resident Holder of Subordinate Voting Shares who is not a Certifying Shareholder that has elected to have its Trizec Canada Shares acquired by Trizec Canada pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax but will be deemed to be a capital gain. Such capital gain will not be subject to Canadian tax. The cost of the Subordinate Voting Shares issued to a Non-Resident Holder in payment of the Share Dividend will be the Canadian-dollar equivalent of the amount added to Trizec Canada’s capital in respect of its Subordinate Voting Shares on the issuance of such shares. Such cost must be averaged with the adjusted cost base of all other Subordinate Voting Shares held by the Non-Resident Holder at the time the stock dividend is paid for purposes of thereafter determining the adjusted cost base to the Non-Resident Holder of each Subordinate Voting Share.
      Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares under the Arrangement
      A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain, or entitled to deduct any capital loss, realized on the disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares to Newco or, in the case of Certifying Shareholders electing to dispose of Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada, to Trizec Canada under the Arrangement unless such Subordinate Voting Shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder and do not constitute “treaty-protected property”.
      Generally, a Subordinate Voting Share will not be taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition provided that (i) such Subordinate Voting Share is listed on a prescribed stock exchange (which currently includes the TSX and the NYSE) at that time, (ii) the Non-Resident Holder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder does not deal at arm’s length, or the Non-Resident Holder together with such persons, did not own 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series in the capital of Trizec Canada at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding that time, and (iii) such Subordinate Voting Share is not deemed to be taxable Canadian property for purposes of the Tax Act.
      Even if the Subordinate Voting Shares are taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder, a taxable capital gain resulting from the disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares will not be included in computing the Non-Resident Holder’s income for the purposes of the Tax Act if the Subordinate Voting Shares constitute “treaty-protected property”. Subordinate Voting Shares owned by a Non-Resident Holder will generally be treaty-protected property if the gain from the disposition of such property would, because of an applicable income tax treaty to which Canada is a signatory, be exempt from tax under the Tax Act. In the event that Subordinate Voting Shares constitute taxable Canadian property but not treaty-protected property to a particular Non-Resident Holder, the tax consequences as described above under “— Holders Resident in Canada — Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares by Shareholders Other than Certifying Shareholders Under the Arrangement” and “— Capital Gains and Capital Losses” will generally apply.
      Dissenting Non-Resident Holders
      A Non-Resident Holder who dissents from the Arrangement will be considered to have disposed of such holder’s Subordinate Voting Shares (including those received as a Share Dividend) to Newco and will be entitled to receive a payment from Newco of an amount equal to the fair value of the Non-Resident Holder’s Subordinate Voting Shares. A dissenting Non-Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the payment received from Newco on the disposition of the Subordinate Voting Shares, less any interest awarded by the Court, exceeds (or is less than) the adjusted cost base to the Non-Resident Holder of such Subordinate Voting Shares immediately before the disposition. The taxation of capital gains and capital losses is described above under “— Holders Not Resident in

Table of Contents

Canada — Disposition of Subordinate Voting Shares by Shareholders other than Electing Shareholders Under the Arrangement” and “— Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.
      Any interest awarded by a Court and paid or credited to a dissenting Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25%, subject to reduction pursuant to the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.
PRINCIPAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
      In compliance with certain requirements imposed by the IRS: (i) any U.S. federal tax advice contained in this Circular is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties imposed for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) such advice was written in connection with the marketing of the Arrangement; and (iii) taxpayers should seek advice based on their particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
      In the opinion of Davies, the following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to U.S. Holders of Subordinate Voting Shares and is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, U.S. Treasury regulations, IRS rulings and judicial and administrative decisions in effect as of the date of this Circular. This discussion is limited to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arrangement to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares who are U.S. Holders and who, on the date on which the Arrangement is completed, hold Subordinate Voting Shares as a capital asset. The tax principles discussed below are subject to retroactive changes that may result from amendments to the Internal Revenue Code after the date of this Circular. This discussion does not address taxpayers subject to special treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, such as insurance companies, financial institutions, dealers in securities, traders who elect mark-to-market tax treatment, tax exempt organizations, S corporations and taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax. This discussion may not apply to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares who acquired their Subordinate Voting Shares upon the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or who hold their shares as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion transaction. This discussion does not address potential foreign, state, local or other tax consequences of the Arrangement. All holders of Subordinate Voting Shares are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences, as well as the foreign, state and local tax consequences of the disposition of their Subordinate Voting Shares in the Arrangement.
      If a partnership holds Subordinate Voting Shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If a U.S. Holder is a partner of a partnership holding such Subordinate Voting Shares, the holder is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Arrangement.
      Although the matter is not free from doubt, Trizec Canada intends to treat the distribution to U.S. Holders who are not Certifying Shareholders disposing of Subordinate Voting Shares to Trizec Canada under the Arrangement, of fractional Subordinate Voting Shares as part of the Arrangement as a non-taxable event. It is possible, however, that the IRS could attempt to treat this distribution as a taxable dividend under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code in an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the fractional Subordinate Voting Shares received. Dividends from Trizec Canada received by individual U.S. Holders should generally be eligible for the reduced rates applicable to dividends from qualifying corporations, provided the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period requirements and is not under an obligation to make offsetting payments in certain related positions. The U.S. Holder would then have a fair market value basis in the fractional Subordinate Voting Shares received and would not recognize additional gain on the exchange of the fractional Subordinate Voting Shares for cash as part of the final step of the Arrangement. If a U.S. Holder recognized a capital loss on the exchange of its remaining Subordinate Voting Shares to Newco as part of the Arrangement, its ability to use this loss to offset any potential income inclusion if the distribution was treated as a taxable dividend could be limited. To avoid any potential uncertainty regarding the proper treatment of the distribution of fractional shares, U.S. Holders who qualify as Certifying Shareholders may elect to dispose of their existing Trizec Canada Shares pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement immediately prior to the distribution of fractional Subordinate Voting Shares. Trizec U.S. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding whether they should elect to be a Certifying Shareholder and dispose of their Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada under the Arrangement and with respect to the potential effect to them if they did not so elect and the IRS successfully recharacterized the distribution as a taxable dividend.

71


Table of Contents

      The receipt of cash in exchange for Subordinate Voting Shares in the Arrangement will be treated as a taxable sale or exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares for cash by each U.S. Holder (including any U.S. Holder who properly exercises Dissent Rights). A U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss by reason of the disposition of its Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Arrangement in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received by the U.S. Holder (either in connection with the Arrangement or in connection with the exercise of Dissent Rights) and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Subordinate Voting Shares. Such capital gain or loss will be long term with respect to Subordinate Voting Shares the U.S. Holder has held for a period of more than one year as of the effective time of the Arrangement. Long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder is generally subject to tax at a maximum rate of 15%. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
      A U.S. Holder may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding if it is a non-corporate U.S. Holder and fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or fails to comply with applicable certification requirements. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is provided to the IRS.
DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS
      Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order, a registered Trizec Canada Shareholder is entitled to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution in the manner provided in Section 190 of the CBCA, as amended by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement. Section 190 of the CBCA is reproduced in its entirety as Annex F to this Circular. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Section 190 of the CBCA, the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement.
      A Dissenting Shareholder will be entitled, in the event the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid by Trizec Canada the fair value of the Subordinate Voting Shares held by such Dissenting Shareholder determined as at the close of business on the day before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. There can be no assurance that a Dissenting Shareholder will receive consideration for his or her shares of equal value to the consideration that such Dissenting Shareholder would have received upon closing of the Arrangement.
      A Trizec Canada Shareholder who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights must provide to Trizec Canada (at BCE Place, 181 Bay Street, Suite 3820, Box 800, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T3, Attn: Corporate Secretary), prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second business day immediately preceding the Meeting (or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof), a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution (a “Dissent Notice”). The filing of a Dissent Notice does not deprive a Trizec Canada Shareholder of the right to vote; however, the CBCA provides, in effect, that a Trizec Canada Shareholder who has submitted a Dissent Notice and who votes for the Arrangement Resolution will no longer be considered a Dissenting Shareholder. The CBCA does not provide, and Trizec Canada will not assume, that a vote against the Arrangement Resolution constitutes a Dissent Notice. Under the CBCA, there is no right of partial dissent and, accordingly, a Dissenting Shareholder may dissent only with respect to all Subordinate Voting Shares held by him or her on behalf of any one beneficial owner and which are registered in the name of the Dissenting Shareholder.
      Trizec Canada is required, within 10 days after the approval of the Arrangement Resolution, to notify each Dissenting Shareholder that the Arrangement Resolution has been approved, but such notice is not required to be sent to any Trizec Canada Shareholder who voted for the Arrangement Resolution or who has withdrawn his or her Dissent Notice.
      A Dissenting Shareholder must, within 20 days after the Dissenting Shareholder receives notice that the Arrangement Resolution has been approved or, if the Dissenting Shareholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after the Dissenting Shareholder learns that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, send to Trizec Canada a written notice (a “Payment Demand”) containing his or her name and address, the number of Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which the Dissenting Shareholder dissented, and a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares. Within 30 days after a Payment Demand, the Dissenting Shareholder must send to the Transfer Agent at the address indicated in the Letter of Transmittal, the certificate(s) representing the Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which he or she dissented. A Dissenting Shareholder who fails to send the certificates representing the Subordinate Voting Shares in respect of which he or she dissented forfeits his or her right to make a claim under Section 190 of the CBCA. The Transfer Agent will endorse on share certificates received from a Dissenting Shareholder a notice that the holder is a Dissenting Shareholder and will forthwith return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder.

72


Table of Contents

      On filing a Dissent Notice that is not withdrawn prior to the termination of the Meeting, a Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Trizec Canada Shareholder, other than the right to be paid the fair value of his or her Subordinate Voting Shares as determined under Section 190 of the CBCA, except where the Trizec Canada Board revokes the Arrangement Resolution, in which case Trizec Canada will be required to reinstate the Dissenting Shareholder’s rights as a Trizec Canada Shareholder. The Plan of Arrangement provides that the Subordinate Voting Shares of Dissenting Shareholders will be acquired by Newco at the effective time of the Arrangement.
      Trizec Canada is required, not later than seven days after the later of the Effective Date or the date on which Trizec Canada received the Payment Demand of a Dissenting Shareholder, to send to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a Payment Demand to it a written offer to pay (“Offer to Pay”), on behalf of Trizec Canada, for his or her Subordinate Voting Shares in an amount considered by the Trizec Canada Board to be the fair value thereof, accompanied by a statement showing the manner in which the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay, as between shares of the same class, must be on the same terms. The amount specified in the Offer to Pay which has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder shall be paid by Trizec Canada within 10 days after the acceptance by the Dissenting Shareholder of the Offer to Pay, but any such Offer to Pay lapses if Trizec Canada does not receive an acceptance thereof within 30 days after the Offer to Pay has been made.
      If Trizec Canada fails to make an Offer to Pay or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an offer that has been made, Trizec Canada may, within 50 days after the Effective Date or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the Subordinate Voting Shares of Dissenting Shareholders. If Trizec Canada fails to apply to a court, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as a court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in such an application.
      Upon an application to a court, all Dissenting Shareholders whose Subordinate Voting Shares have not been purchased by Trizec Canada will be joined as parties and bound by the decision of the court, and Trizec Canada will be required to notify each affected Dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of his or her right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. Upon any such application to a court, the court may determine whether any person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party, and the court will then fix a fair value for the Subordinate Voting Shares of all Dissenting Shareholders. The final order of a court will be rendered against Trizec Canada in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder and for the amount of the fair value of his or her Subordinate Voting Shares as fixed by the court. The court may, in its discretion, allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder from the Effective Date until the date of payment.
      The above is only a summary of the dissenting shareholder provisions of the CBCA, as amended by the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement, which are technical and complex. It is suggested that any Trizec Canada Shareholder wishing to avail himself or herself of his or her rights under those provisions seek his or her own legal advice as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the CBCA, the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement may prejudice his or her Dissent Rights.
PROCEDURES FOR THE SURRENDER OF TRIZEC CANADA
SHARE CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENT
      The details of the procedures for the deposit of Trizec Canada Share certificates and the delivery by the Depositary of the Arrangement Consideration are set out in the Letter of Transmittal accompanying this Circular. Trizec Canada Shareholders who have not received a Letter of Transmittal should contact the Depositary by mail at 199 Bay Street, Commerce Court West, Securities Level, Toronto, Ontario M5L 1G9 or by phone at (416) 643-5500 or 1-800-387-0825.
      Each Trizec Canada Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Shareholder) that is an Eligible Person and wishes to dispose of Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada pursuant to the Arrangement is required to complete the election and certification included for such purpose in the Letter of Transmittal. See the headings “Questions and Answers about the Meeting and the Arrangement — What are the consequences of being a Certifying Shareholder?”, “Principal Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Principal U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Circular for further information. Trizec Canada Shareholders are urged to consult their own professional tax advisors in connection with such election and certification.
      Certifying Shareholders that have duly elected in their Letter of Transmittal to have their Trizec Canada Shares transferred to Trizec Canada for cancellation and return to the Depositary a properly completed and signed Letter of

Table of Contents

Transmittal, together with accompanying Trizec Canada Share certificates, as soon as possible but no later than September 29, 2006 will have the Trizec Canada Shares in respect of which such election is made cancelled by Trizec Canada and be forwarded the Arrangement Consideration to which they are entitled as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. Any Letters of Transmittal received from a Trizec Canada Shareholder after that time will not be treated as a valid election to dispose of Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada pursuant to the Arrangement.
      Trizec Canada will pay all Trizec Canada Shareholders that do not dispose of their Trizec Canada Shares to Trizec Canada pursuant to the Arrangement (including Dissenting Shareholders) a capital gains dividend which will be satisfied by the issuance in respect of each outstanding Trizec Canada Share of a fractional Subordinate Voting Share. Such fractional Subordinate Voting Shares will not be certificated and each outstanding Trizec Canada Share certificate after the issuance of the share dividend will be deemed to represent the applicable Trizec Canada Shares along with the applicable fractional Subordinate Voting Shares attributable to such Trizec Canada Shares. Such Trizec Canada Shareholders who forward to the Depositary a properly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal, together with accompanying Trizec Canada Share certificates, at or prior to the Effective Date will be forwarded the Arrangement Consideration to which they are entitled as soon as practicable after the Effective Date. Trizec Canada Shareholders who deposit properly completed and signed Letters of Transmittal, together with accompanying Trizec Canada Share certificates, after the Effective Date will be forwarded the Arrangement Consideration to which they are entitled as soon as practicable after the date of receipt by the Depositary of the relevant Letter of Transmittal and accompanying Trizec Canada Share certificates.
      On the earlier of the date on which Trizec Canada Shareholders surrender their Trizec Canada Share certificates and the Effective Date, they will not be entitled to sell the securities to which those certificates relate. If you have already deposited your Trizec Canada Shares for payment with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal with the Depositary, you do not need to do anything further to surrender such Trizec Canada Shares.
      Trizec Canada Shareholders who do not forward to the Depositary a properly completed and signed Letter of Transmittal, together with their Trizec Canada Share certificate(s), will not receive the Arrangement Consideration to which they are otherwise entitled until deposit is made. Whether or not Trizec Canada Shareholders forward their Trizec Canada Share certificate(s), upon the completion of the Plan of Arrangement on the Effective Date Trizec Canada Shareholders will cease to be shareholders of Trizec Canada as of the Effective Date and will only be entitled to receive the Arrangement Consideration or, in the case of registered Trizec Canada Shareholders who properly exercise Dissent Rights, the right to receive fair value for their Subordinate Voting Shares in accordance with the Dissent Procedures.
      No commission will be charged to Trizec Canada Shareholders who deliver their certificate(s) evidencing Trizec Canada Shares according to the instructions set out in the Letter of Transmittal.
      It is not possible to determine precisely when the Arrangement will become effective. If the Final Order is obtained and all conditions set forth in the Merger and Arrangement Agreement are satisfied or waived, Trizec Canada will file the Articles of Arrangement giving effect to the Arrangement as soon as reasonably practicable, such that the Effective Date is expected to occur on or about October 4 or 5, 2006.
      Any use of the mail to transmit a share certificate, a related Letter of Transmittal, and any other required documents is at the risk of the Trizec Canada Shareholder. If these documents are mailed, it is recommended that registered mail, with (if applicable) return receipt requested, properly insured, be used.
      A cheque representing the amount payable to a former holder of Trizec Canada Shares who has complied with the procedures set out above will, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date and after the receipt of all required documents: (i) be forwarded to the former Trizec Canada Shareholder at the address specified in the Letter of Transmittal by insured first-class mail; or (ii) be made available at the offices of the Depositary for pick up by the holder as requested by the holder, in the Letter of Transmittal. Under no circumstance will interest accrue or be payable by Newco, Trizec Canada or the Depositary to persons depositing Trizec Canada Shares, regardless of any delay in making payment of the Arrangement Consideration.
      Where a share certificate has been destroyed, lost or misplaced, the registered holder of that share certificate should immediately complete the Letter of Transmittal as fully as possible and return it together with a letter describing the loss, to the Depositary in accordance with instructions in the Letter of Transmittal. The Depositary has been instructed to respond with replacement share certificate requirements which are also set out in Section 3.2 of the Plan of Arrangement.

        (a) Each Trizec Common Share held in treasury and not outstanding and each Trizec Common Share that is owned by MergerCo immediately prior to the Trizec Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.
 
        (b) Each Trizec Common Share held by TZ Canada or any TZ Canada Subsidiaries, Parent, and AcquisitionCo immediately prior to the Trizec Merger Effective Time shall continue to remain an issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

      (b) Prior to the Trizec Merger Effective Time, Trizec shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the “Trizec Paying Agent”) and enter into a paying agent agreement with such Trizec Paying Agent for the payment of the Redemption Amount. Immediately following completion of the Trizec Merger, the redemption of the Redeemable Preferred Shares and the cancellation of the Trizec Stock Options and applicable Trizec Warrants, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Trizec Paying Agent, (i) by the Surviving Corporation for the benefit of the holders of Redeemable Preferred Shares, Trizec Stock Options, Trizec Restricted Shares, Trizec Restricted Share Rights and applicable Trizec Warrants, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Trizec Consideration required to be paid (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation Redemption Fund”) and (ii) by the Surviving Operating Company for the benefit of Existing Units, certificates or other evidence of the Redeemable Preferred Units (the “Surviving Operating Company Redemption Fund”), and to cause the Trizec Paying Agent to make, and the Trizec Paying Agent shall make, payments of the Trizec Consideration out of the Surviving Corporation Redemption Fund or the Surviving Operating Company Redemption Fund, as applicable, to the holders of Redeemable Preferred Shares, Trizec Stock Options, Trizec Restricted Shares, Trizec Restricted Share Rights, applicable Trizec Warrants and Existing Units in accordance with this Agreement.

Upon surrender to the Trizec Paying Agent of Trizec Common Share Certificates or, Existing Unit certificates or Trizec Warrant certificates for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Trizec Common Share Certificate, Existing Unit certificates or Trizec Warrant certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, in cash, or units, as applicable, the Redemption Amount in respect of the Redeemable Preferred Shares issued in the Trizec Merger and redeemed immediately following the Trizec Merger, the right to receive the Trizec Warrant Consideration or the right to receive the Operating Company Merger Consideration, as applicable, and the Trizec Common Share Certificate or Trizec Warrant certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Merger Shares or Trizec Warrants that is not registered in the transfer records of Trizec, payment of the Redemption Amount in respect of the Redeemable Preferred Shares redeemed immediately following the Trizec Merger or cash amount in respect of the Trizec Warrants issued in the Trizec Merger may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Trizec Common Share Certificate or Trizec Warrant certificate so surrendered is registered if such Trizec Common Share Certificate or Trizec Warrant certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Redemption Amount in respect of the Redeemable Preferred Shares issued in the Trizec Merger and redeemed immediately following the Trizec Merger or the payment of the Trizec Warrant Consideration to a person other than the

If at any time prior to the Trizec Stockholders’ Meeting, any information relating to Trizec, TZ Canada or the Buyer Parties or any of their respective affiliates, officers, members or directors, should be discovered by Trizec, TZ Canada or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Other Filings, so that the Proxy Statement or the Other Filings shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of Trizec. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement or filing the Other Filings (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, Trizec shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and will in good faith consider such comments, and to the extent practicable, Trizec will provide TZ Canada and Parent with the opportunity to participate in any substantive calls between Trizec, or any of its representatives, and the SEC concerning the Proxy Statement.

Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 10.01, Trizec shall hold the Trizec Stockholders’ Meeting regardless of whether the Trizec Board has made a Trizec Change in Recommendation. If there are an insufficient number of Trizec Common Shares represented in person or by proxy at the Trizec Stockholders’ Meeting to constitute a quorum or to adopt this Agreement, Trizec may adjourn or postpone, as applicable, the Trizec Stockholders’ Meeting for up to ten (10) business days so long as, during such period, Trizec uses its reasonable best

Payment of the Non-Qualified Account Plans shall be in cash to the participants in the Non-Qualified Account Plans in a single lump-sum payment by Surviving Corporation immediately following the

Each Continuing Employee will be credited with his or her years of service with TZ Canada and the TZ Canada Subsidiaries (and any predecessor entities thereof) before the Closing Date under the parallel employee benefit plan of Parent or the TZ Canada Subsidiaries to the same extent as such employee was entitled, before the Plan of Arrangement Effective Time, to credit for such service under the respective Plan (except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits and except with respect to benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan).

      In connection with the Operating Company Merger, each of the members of the Operating Company (not including the membership interests held by Trizec) will receive a Redeemable Preferred Unit with the rights set forth on Exhibit E hereto, subject to the Amended Operating Agreement. The Amended Operating Agreement shall be negotiated in good faith and mutually agreed upon by Parent, Trizec and the Operating Company following the date hereof. Parent agrees that the Amended Operating Agreement shall provide rights for the holders of the Continuing Common Units and Redeemable Preferred Units comparable to those afforded to the “Non-Managing Members” in the Operating Company LLC Agreement so as to qualify for the exception from the definition of “Adverse Modification” set forth in the second sentence of the definition of such term in the Redemption and Contribution Agreement dated as of May 1, 2006. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Trizec Parties shall have any liability hereunder either for any failure to qualify for such exception or for the Operating Company Merger being deemed to violate the Operating Company LLC Agreement and any such failure or violation shall not be asserted as the basis for a breach by the Trizec Parties of this Agreement or as the basis for a failure to satisfy the conditions for obligations of the parties set forth in Article IX. TZ Canada, Trizec and the Operating Company agree to cooperate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary or advisable to effect the foregoing.
      Section 8.16.     Certain Tax Elections. TZ Canada agrees, and Parent and AcquisitionCo agree to cause TZ Canada, to elect in its return of income under Part I of the Income Tax Act (Canada) not to have subsection 256(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) apply in respect of the acquisition of control of TZ Canada pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, and to make any analogous election pursuant to provincial law.

If payable, none of the Full Termination Fee, Trizec Termination Fee, TZ Canada Termination Fee, Seller Party Expenses or Parent Expenses shall be payable more than once pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge that the maximum aggregate amount that may be paid pursuant to Section 10.03 by Trizec and TZ Canada shall be an amount equal to the Full Termination Fee plus the Parent Expenses.

      Section 10.04.  Escrow of Trizec Expenses.
      (a) In the event that Parent is obligated to pay Trizec Expenses set forth in Section 10.03(e), Parent shall pay to Trizec from Trizec Expenses deposited into escrow in accordance with the next sentence, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) Trizec Expenses and (ii) the sum of (A) the maximum amount that can be paid to Trizec without causing Trizec to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A)-(H) or 856(c)(3)(A)-(I) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”), as determined by Trizec’s independent certified public accountants, plus (B) in the event Trizec receives either (1) a letter from Trizec’s counsel indicating that Trizec has received a ruling from the IRS described in Section 10.04(b) or (2) an opinion from Trizec’s outside counsel as described in Section 10.04(b), an amount equal to Trizec Expenses less the amount payable under clause (A) above. To secure Parent’s obligation to pay these amounts, Parent shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to Trizec Expenses with an escrow agent selected by Parent and on such terms (subject to Section 10.04(b)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by Trizec, Parent and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of Trizec Expenses pursuant to this Section 10.04(b) shall be made at the time Parent is obligated to pay Trizec such amount pursuant to Section 10.03(e) by wire transfer or bank check.
      (b) The escrow agreement shall provide that Trizec Expenses in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to Trizec unless the escrow agent receives any one or combination of the following: (i) a letter from Trizec’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to Trizec without causing Trizec to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income or a subsequent letter from Trizec’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to Trizec, or (ii) a letter from Trizec’s counsel indicating that Trizec received a ruling from the IRS holding that Trizec Expenses would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (or alternatively, Trizec’s outside counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by Trizec of Trizec Expenses would constitute Qualifying Income, would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code or would not otherwise disqualify Trizec as a REIT), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of Trizec Expenses to Trizec. Parent agrees to amend this Section 9.04 at the request of Trizec in order to (x) maximize the portion of Trizec Expenses that may be distributed to Trizec hereunder without causing Trizec to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (y) improve Trizec’s chances of securing a favorable ruling described in this Section 10.04(b) or (z) assist Parent in obtaining a favorable legal opinion from its outside counsel as described in this Section 10.04(b). The escrow agreement shall also provide that any portion of Trizec Expenses held in escrow for five (5) years shall be released by the escrow agent to Parent.
      Section 10.05.  Waiver. At any time prior to the Trizec Merger Effective Time, the Trizec Parties and TZ Canada (jointly), on the one hand, and Parent, MergerCo and AcquisitionCo, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of the other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Trizec Parties and TZ Canada (jointly) or Parent (on behalf of Parent, MergerCo and AcquisitionCo). The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

      Section 11.03.     Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy or the application of this Agreement to any person or circumstance is invalid or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. To such end, the provisions of this Agreement are agreed to be severable. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
      Section 11.04.     Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto by action taken by their respective board of directors (or similar governing body or entity) at any time prior to the Trizec Merger Effective Time; provided, however, that, after approval of the Trizec Merger by the Trizec Stockholders, no amendment may be made without further stockholder approval which, by Law or in accordance with the rules of the NYSE, requires further approval by such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.
      Section 11.05.  Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise).
      Section 11.06.  Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.07 or elsewhere in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party to this Agreement shall be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at law or in equity and the exercise by a party to this Agreement of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy. Without limiting the right to receive any payment it may be entitled to receive under Sections 2.07 and 8.09(b), each of the Trizec Parties and TZ Canada agrees that to the extent it has incurred losses or damages (including any amounts paid by Parent pursuant to Section 8.09(b)) in connection with this Agreement the maximum aggregate liability of the Buyer Parties for such losses or damages shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of the Guaranty, and in no event shall the Trizec Parties or TZ Canada seek to recover any money damages in excess of such amount from the Buyer Parties or their respective Representatives and affiliates in connection therewith.
      Section 11.07.  Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, the Buyer Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Trizec Parties or TZ Canada and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or equity. The parties acknowledge that none of the Trizec Parties or TZ Canada shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and that the Trizec Parties’ and TZ Canada’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such breach shall be the remedy set forth in Section 11.06 and the Guaranty; provided, however, the Trizec Parties and TZ Canada shall be entitled to seek specific performance to prevent any breach by the Buyer Parties of Section 8.03(b).
      Section 11.09.  Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) the provisions of Article III and Sections 8.06 and 8.07 (which are intended to be for the benefit of the persons covered

thereby or the persons entitled to payment thereunder and may be enforced by such persons); and (b) the right of Trizec and/or TZ Canada, on behalf of their respective stockholders, to pursue damages in the event of Parent’s, MergerCo’s or AcquisitionCo’s intentional breach of this Agreement or fraud, which right is hereby acknowledged and agreed by Parent, MergerCo, AcquisitionCo and the Guarantor.
      Section 11.10.  Governing Law; Forum. All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws, except for the provisions hereof which relate expressly to the CBCA (including, without limitation, the Plan of Arrangement), which shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the CBCA.
      Except as set out below, each of the Trizec Parties, TZ Canada, Parent, MergerCo and AcquisitionCo hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Delaware Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any Delaware Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees, (a) to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process, and (b) that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to (a) or (b) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware. For purposes of implementing the parties’ agreement to appoint and maintain an agent for service of process in the State of Delaware, Parent does hereby appoint The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. as such agent, Trizec does hereby appoint The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. as such agent and TZ Canada does hereby appoint The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. as such agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall derogate from the authority of the Court and all Canadian courts competent to hear appeals therefrom with respect to the Plan of Arrangement and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the sole jurisdiction of such courts in that regard.

      Section 11.12.  Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
      Section 11.13.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
      Section 11.14.  Waiver. Except as provided in this Agreement, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

The Board of Directors
Trizec Canada Inc.
181 Bay Street
Suite 3820
Toronto, Ontario
M5J 2T3
To the Board of Directors:
      RBC Dominion Securities Inc. (“RBC”), a member company of RBC Capital Markets, understands that Trizec Canada Inc. (“TCI”) together with Trizec Properties, Inc. (“TPI”) have entered into an agreement and plan of merger and arrangement agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with affiliates of Brookfield Properties Corporation (“Brookfield”), under which (i) one such entity will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TPI (the “TPI Common Shares”), other than the TPI Common Shares directly or indirectly held by TCI, by way of business combination for consideration of US$29.01 in cash per TPI Common Share (the “TPI Merger”), and (ii) another such entity will acquire all of TCI’s issued and outstanding multiple voting shares (the “TCI MVS”) and subordinate voting shares (the “TCI SVS”, and together with the TCI MVS, the “TCI Shares”) by way of plan of arrangement for consideration of US$30.97 in cash per TCI Share (the “Arrangement”, and together with the TPI Merger, the “Transaction”). Holders of TCI Shares (“TCI Shareholders”) may have the option to receive a portion of the consideration for their TCI Shares in the form of preferred shares of Brookfield. RBC understands that The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”) will be participating in the Transaction with Brookfield. TCI currently owns approximately 36.5% of the TPI Common Shares on a fully diluted basis and has certain special voting rights with respect to the election of the board of directors of TPI (the “TPI Board”). RBC understands that TCI has entered into a support agreement (the “TCI Support Agreement”) pursuant to which TCI will, provided the Acquisition Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms and the TPI Board has not withdrawn, modified or changed its recommendation that TPI’s shareholders adopt the Acquisition Agreement, among other things, vote in favour of the TPI Merger. RBC also understands that P.M. Capital Inc. (“P.M. Capital”), TCI’s controlling shareholder, has entered into a support agreement (the “PMC Support Agreement”) pursuant to which P.M. Capital will, provided the Acquisition Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms and the board of directors of TCI (the “TCI Board”) has not withdrawn, modified or changed its recommendation that TCI Shareholders approve the Arrangement, among other things, vote in favour of the Arrangement. The terms of the Transaction will be more fully described in a management information circular (the “Circular”), which will be mailed to TCI Shareholders in connection with the Transaction.
      TCI has retained RBC to provide advice and assistance in evaluating the Arrangement, including the preparation and delivery to the TCI Board of RBC’s opinion as to the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the TCI Shareholders (the “Fairness Opinion”). The Fairness Opinion has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada. RBC has not prepared a valuation of TCI or TPI or any of their respective securities or assets and the Fairness Opinion should not be construed as such.
Engagement
      TCI initially contacted RBC regarding a potential advisory assignment in March 2006, and RBC was formally engaged by TCI through an agreement between TCI and RBC (the “Engagement Agreement”) dated May 10, 2006. The terms of the Engagement Agreement provide that RBC is to be paid a fee for its services under the Engagement Agreement, a portion of which is conditional on completion of the Arrangement. In addition, RBC is to be reimbursed

E-1

for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and to be indemnified by TCI in certain circumstances. RBC consents to the inclusion of the Fairness Opinion in its entirety and a summary thereof in the Circular and to the filing thereof, as necessary, by TCI with the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each province of Canada and in the United States (the “U.S.”).
Relationship With Interested Parties
      Neither RBC, nor any of its affiliates is an insider, associate or affiliate (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) of TCI, TPI, Brookfield, Blackstone or any of their respective associates or affiliates. RBC has not been engaged to provide any financial advisory services nor has it participated in any financing involving TCI, TPI, Brookfield, Blackstone or any of their respective associates or affiliates, within the past two years, other than the services provided under the Engagement Agreement and as described herein.
      In 2005, RBC was engaged to provide financial advisory services to TCI in connection with the evaluation of a proposed capital transaction.
      RBC is currently engaged by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield Asset”), Brookfield’s majority shareholder, as joint bookrunner in connection with the proposed initial public offering of Brookfield SoundVest Commodity Services Fund. RBC has, within the past twenty-four month period, participated as an underwriter in 11 equity and debt financings for Brookfield, Brookfield Asset and certain of their respective associates and affiliates, totaling approximately C$1.9 billion, including the following financings in which RBC acted as the lead or co-lead underwriter: (i) two debt financings for Brookfield Power Inc., totaling C$450 million, in 2004 and 2005, (ii) four public offerings of trust units of investment trusts managed by affiliates of Brookfield Asset, totaling C$407 million, in 2004 and 2005, (iii) a C$128 million public offering of common shares of Norbord Inc. (“Norbord”) by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset, and a concurrent C$255 million private placement of debentures exchangeable for common shares of Norbord by a subsidiary of such affiliate, in 2004, and (iv) an C$82 million public offering of trust units of Acadian Timber Income Fund, certain affiliates of which are managed by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset and have entered into certain fibre supply and services agreements with Fraser Papers Inc., an associate of an affiliate of Brookfield Asset, in 2006.
      There are no understandings, agreements or commitments between RBC and TCI, TPI, Brookfield, Blackstone or any of their respective associates or affiliates with respect to any future business dealings other than as described herein. RBC may participate in a syndicated bridge credit facility and/or a commercial mortgage backed securities financing in connection with the Transaction, but RBC will not be the lead or co-lead arranger or underwriter for any such financing. RBC may, in the future, in the ordinary course of its business, perform financial advisory or investment banking services for TCI, TPI, Brookfield, Blackstone or any of their respective associates or affiliates. Royal Bank of Canada, controlling shareholder of RBC, provides banking services to TCI, Brookfield, certain of their respective associates and affiliates, and certain associates and affiliates of Blackstone in the normal course of business.
      RBC acts as a trader and dealer, both as principal and agent, in major financial markets and, as such, may have had and may in the future have positions in the securities of TCI, TPI, Brookfield, Blackstone or any of their respective associates or affiliates and, from time to time, may have executed or may execute transactions on behalf of such companies or clients for which it received or may receive compensation. As an investment dealer, RBC conducts research on securities and may, in the ordinary course of its business, provide research reports and investment advice to its clients on investment matters, including with respect to TCI, TPI, Brookfield, Blackstone, any of their respective associates or affiliates, or the Transaction.
Credentials of RBC Capital Markets
      RBC is one of Canada’s largest investment banking firms, with operations in all facets of corporate and government finance, corporate banking, mergers and acquisitions, equity and fixed income sales and trading and investment research. RBC Capital Markets also has significant operations in the U.S. and internationally. The Fairness Opinion expressed herein represents the opinion of RBC and the form and content herein have been approved for release by a committee of its directors, each of whom is experienced in merger, acquisition, divestiture and fairness opinion matters.

Table of Contents

      RBC has not, to the best of its knowledge, been denied access by TCI or TPI to any information requested by RBC. As the auditors of TCI and TPI declined to permit RBC to rely upon information provided by them as a part of any due diligence review, RBC did not meet with the auditors and has assumed the accuracy and fair presentation of and relied upon the audited financial statements of TCI and TPI and the reports of the auditors thereon.
Prior Valuations
      TCI and TPI have represented to RBC that there have not been any prior valuations (as defined in Ontario Securities Commission Rule 61-501) of TCI, TPI or their respective material assets or their respective securities in the past twenty-four month period, except for the Duff & Phelps Valuation. RBC did not rely on the Duff & Phelps Valuation in preparing the Fairness Opinion.
Assumptions and Limitations
      With the TCI Board’s approval and as provided for in the Engagement Agreement, RBC has relied upon the completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of all of the financial and other information, data, advice, opinions or representations obtained by it from public sources, senior management of TCI and TPI, and their respective consultants and advisors (collectively, the “Information”). The Fairness Opinion is conditional upon such completeness, accuracy and fair presentation of such Information. Subject to the exercise of professional judgment and except as expressly described herein, we have not attempted to verify independently the completeness, accuracy or fair presentation of any of the Information.
      Senior officers of TCI have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things (in each case, with respect to Information (as defined above) concerning TPI and its subsidiaries, to the best of their knowledge), that (i) the Information provided orally by, or in the presence of, an officer or employee of TCI or in writing by TCI or any of its subsidiaries or their respective agents to RBC for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion was, at the date the Information was provided to RBC, and is at the date hereof complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of TCI, its subsidiaries or the Transaction and did not and does not omit to state a material fact in respect of TCI, its subsidiaries or the Transaction necessary to make the Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which the Information was made or provided or any statement was made; and that (ii) since the dates on which the Information was provided to RBC, except as disclosed in writing to RBC, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of TCI or any of its subsidiaries and no material change has occurred in the Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Fairness Opinion.
      Senior officers of TPI have represented to RBC in a certificate delivered as of the date hereof, among other things, that (i) the Information (as defined above) that relates to TPI and its subsidiaries that has been provided or made available orally by, or in the presence of, an officer or employee of TPI or in writing by TPI to RBC for the purpose of preparing the Fairness Opinion was, at the date such Information was provided to RBC, and is at the date hereof, to the best of their knowledge, complete, true and correct in all material respects, and did not and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact in respect of TPI, its subsidiaries or the Transaction and did not and does not omit to state a material fact in respect of TPI, its subsidiaries or the Transaction necessary to make such Information or any statement contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such Information was made or provided or any statement was made; and that (ii) since the dates on which such Information was provided to RBC, except as disclosed in writing to RBC, there has been no material change, financial or otherwise, in the financial condition, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), business, operations or prospects of TPI or any of its subsidiaries and no material change has occurred in such Information or any part thereof which would have or which would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Fairness Opinion.
      In preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC has made several assumptions, including that all of the conditions required to implement the Transaction will be met.
      The Fairness Opinion is rendered on the basis of securities markets, economic, financial and general business conditions prevailing as at the date hereof and the condition and prospects, financial and otherwise, of TCI, TPI, and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, as they were reflected in the Information and as they have been represented to RBC in discussions with management of TCI and TPI. In its analyses and in preparing the Fairness Opinion, RBC

E-4


Table of Contents

made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of RBC or any party involved in the Transaction.
      The Fairness Opinion has been provided for the use of the TCI Board and may not be used by any other person or relied upon by any other person other than the TCI Board without the express prior written consent of RBC. The Fairness Opinion is given as of the date hereof and RBC disclaims any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion which may come or be brought to RBC’s attention after the date hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that there is any material change in any fact or matter affecting the Fairness Opinion after the date hereof, RBC reserves the right to change, modify or withdraw the Fairness Opinion.
      RBC believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses or the factors considered by it, without considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process underlying the Fairness Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Any attempt to do so could lead to undue emphasis on any particular factor or analysis. The Fairness Opinion is not to be construed as a recommendation to any TCI Shareholder as to whether to vote in favour of the Arrangement.
Overview of TCI and TPI
      TCI is a Canadian company that is primarily engaged in the U.S. real estate business through its interest in TPI. TPI is one of the largest owners and operators of commercial office properties in the U.S. TPI has ownership interests in and manages a high-quality portfolio of 61 office properties totaling approximately 40 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) concentrated in the metropolitan areas of seven major U.S. markets: New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago.
Fairness Analysis
      Approach to Fairness
      RBC’s primary methodology in considering the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the TCI Shareholders was a net asset value (“NAV”) analysis of TCI (the “TCI NAV Analysis”).
      The most significant component of TCI’s NAV is its investment in TPI. Given the size of TCI’s investment in TPI, and TCI’s ability to control the election of the TPI Board until January 1, 2008, under the terms of the TPI special voting stock, RBC believes it is appropriate to assess TCI’s investment in TPI on an “en bloc” basis for purposes of the TCI NAV Analysis.
      In assessing TCI’s investment in TPI, RBC considered an NAV analysis of TPI (the “TPI NAV Analysis”). RBC also considered the value of the consideration per TPI Common Share under the TPI Merger and compared the implied capitalization rates (“cap rates”) of net operating income (“NOI”) and implied multiples of funds from operations (“FFO”) under the TPI Merger to precedent transactions. RBC also reviewed the trading multiples of comparable public real estate entities from the perspective of whether a public market value analysis for TPI might exceed NAV or precedent transaction values or the value of the consideration under the TPI Merger.
      In considering the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the TCI Shareholders, RBC also considered the value being paid for TCI’s net assets other than its investments in TPI and Barrick Common Shares (the “Net Other Assets”). RBC also compared the consideration under the Arrangement to the market prices of the TCI SVS prior to the announcement of the Transaction on June 5, 2006 (the “Announcement”). Given the nature of TCI’s assets, RBC did not consider there to be any comparable precedent transactions for which a comparison of implied cap rates and cash flow multiples under the Arrangement would be relevant, nor did RBC consider there to be any public real estate entities comparable to TCI for which a comparison of trading multiples would be relevant.
      TPI Net Asset Value Analysis
      The NAV approach ascribes a separate value for each category of asset and liability, utilizing the methodology appropriate in each case. The sum of total assets less total liabilities yields the NAV.

E-5


Table of Contents

      There are five key components to TPI’s NAV:
  i) income producing property portfolio;
 
  ii) properties under development and land held for development;
 
  iii) secured and unsecured debt;
 
  iv) capitalized general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses; and
 
  v) other assets and liabilities.
      Property Portfolio
      TPI’s property portfolio consists of 61 office properties, eight of which are unconsolidated joint ventures. RBC used primarily a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis approach to assess TPI’s office properties. The DCF approach takes into account the amount, timing and relative certainty of projected unlevered free cash flows expected to be generated by TPI. The DCF approach requires that certain assumptions be made regarding, among other things, future cash flows, discount rates and terminal values. The possibility that some of the assumptions will prove to be inaccurate is one factor involved in the determination of the discount rates to be used in establishing a range of values. With respect to the 13 properties of Arden Realty Inc. that were acquired by TPI on May 2, 2006 (the “Arden Portfolio”), RBC also considered the price paid by TPI.
      Eleven-year unlevered free cash flow projections for each office property were provided by management of TPI. RBC reviewed the assumptions in the projections and determined that material adjustments were not necessary. Appropriate discount rates and reversionary cap rates for each property were selected based on precedent private market transactions and RBC’s knowledge of current real estate pricing parameters. The discount rates and reversionary cap rates used by RBC ranged from 7.50% to 12.25% and 6.00% to 9.25%, respectively.
      The values for TPI’s properties resulting from the above analysis were also reviewed on the basis of price per square foot, going-in cap rate, average yield and precedent transaction pricing to ensure these measures were also consistent with market pricing parameters.
      Properties Under Development and Land Held for Development
      TPI has one project under development and one unconsolidated development joint venture. RBC valued these properties at book value for purposes of the TPI NAV Analysis.
      Secured Debt
      TPI’s fixed rate secured and unsecured debt was marked to market based on current U.S. Treasury yields of the appropriate term plus corresponding market real estate lending spreads.
      Capitalized G&A
      For the purposes of the TPI NAV Analysis, RBC estimated a net G&A expense for TPI assuming elimination of public company costs and expenses recoverable from tenants. An amount was then deducted based on a 7.0x multiple of net G&A expense.
      Other Items
      For the purposes of the TPI NAV Analysis, all options with exercise prices less than the estimated NAV per TPI Common Share have been assumed exercised for cash proceeds. All of TPI’s restricted stock entitlements have been assumed vested and included in the fully diluted number of TPI Common Shares outstanding. All of TPI’s outstanding operating partnership units, which are exchangeable for an equivalent number of TPI Common Shares, have been assumed exchanged and included in the fully diluted number of TPI Common Shares outstanding.
      TPI’s other non-real estate assets and liabilities were valued at their book value for purposes of the TPI NAV Analysis, except for deferred expenses related to tenant inducements and financing costs, straight-line rent receivable, and above- and below-market rent, which were given no value. Estimated negative free cash flow since March 31, 2006 was deducted from NAV.
      Sensitivity Analysis
      In completing the TPI NAV Analysis, RBC performed a variety of sensitivity analyses. Variables sensitized included going-in cap rates and occupancy rates. The results of these sensitivity analyses are reflected in our conclusions under the TPI NAV Analysis.

      Summary of the TPI NAV Analysis
      The TPI NAV Analysis, including taking into account the sensitivity analyses as described above, generates results that are consistent with the consideration per TPI Common Share under the TPI Merger.
      TPI Precedent Transaction Analysis
      The implied FFO multiple and cap rate on TPI’s properties under the TPI Merger are as follows:
                             
Equity Value   Enterprise Value   2006E FFO Multiple (1)   Implied Cap Rate (2)
             
(US$ millions)
  $4,821     $ 8,710       17.9x       5.8 %
Notes:
(1) Based on consensus analyst estimates of TPI’s 2006 FFO per TPI Common Share, pro forma the acquisition of the Arden Portfolio.
 
(2) Based on Q1, 2006 annualized NOI, pro forma the acquisition of the Arden Portfolio.
     Recent U.S. office REIT transactions, illustrated in the table below, have generally been completed in the range of 15x to 18x FFO and a 6.0% to 7.0% cap rate. The low cap rate of in-place income in the CRT Properties transaction was due in part to the relatively low occupancy rate of the portfolio. The consideration under the TPI Merger implies an FFO multiple at the high end and a cap rate at the low end of the range of precedent transactions.

      TCI Net Asset Value Analysis
      There are three key components to TCI’s NAV:
  i) investment in TPI;
 
  ii) Net Other Assets; and
  iii) option to cash settle the Barrick Exchangeable Debentures.
      RBC made no adjustment with respect to income taxes in the TCI NAV Analysis. TPI’s expected qualification as a U.S. domestically controlled REIT in August 2007 would result in no U.S. tax being applicable to a disposition by TCI of its investment in TPI. As a mutual fund corporation under Canadian tax rules, TCI is entitled to a refund of any Canadian capital gains tax payable on a disposition of its investment in TPI or upon settlement of the Barrick Exchangeable Debentures. TCI also has significant non-capital and capital loss carryforwards for Canadian tax purposes.
      Investment in TPI
      For purposes of the TCI NAV Analysis, RBC valued TCI’s investment in TPI at the value of the consideration per TPI Common Share of US$29.01 under the TPI Merger.
      Net Other Assets
      The Net Other Assets consist primarily of cash and short-term investments as well as notes receivable relating to TCI’s sale of its 50% ownership interest in the development assets of the TriGranit joint venture in 2003.
      In the absence of a transaction such as the Arrangement, TCI would not able to distribute all of its Net Other Assets until notices of assessment and clearance certificates in respect of the relevant tax years have been received and all of TCI’s liabilities have been discharged or otherwise provided for. In the interim, TCI would incur G&A expenses as well as net interest and other costs associated with the Barrick Exchangeable Debentures, partially offset by interest income on its undistributed Net Other Assets.
      For purposes of the TCI NAV Analysis, RBC considered the estimated time when notices of assessment and clearance certificates in respect of the relevant tax years will have been received, the estimated time when all of TCI’s liabilities will have been discharged or otherwise provided for, and the likely amount and timing of distributions to TCI Shareholders from the Net Other Assets, and used a net present value approach.
      Option to Cash Settle the Barrick Exchangeable Debentures
      TCI owns approximately 30.3 million Barrick Common Shares, which are pledged as collateral for the full satisfaction of TCI’s obligations with respect to the principal amount of the Barrick Exchangeable Debentures. The principal amount of each series of the Barrick Exchangeable Debentures may be satisfied, at the time of the exchange, early redemption, or maturity thereof, through the delivery of (i) the relevant fixed number of Barrick Common Shares, (ii) the cash equivalent of the “current market price”, as defined in the relevant trust indenture, of such Barrick Common Shares, or (iii) any combination thereof. For purposes of the TCI NAV Analysis, RBC added an amount to reflect that fact that, under one of the series, in certain circumstances TCI would be able to sell the Barrick Common Shares owned by it for cash proceeds in excess of what would be required to cash settle the Barrick Exchangeable Debentures.
      Sensitivity Analysis
      In completing the TCI NAV Analysis, RBC performed a variety of sensitivity analyses. Variables sensitized included discount rates and the amounts and timing of distributions to TCI Shareholders from the Net Other Assets, as well as the amount of any potential gain on the possible cash settlement of the series of Barrick Exchangeable Debentures described above. The results of these sensitivity analyses are reflected in our judgment as to the fairness of the consideration under the Arrangement from a financial point of view to the TCI Shareholders.
      Summary of the TCI NAV Analysis
      The TCI NAV Analysis, including taking into account the sensitivity analyses as described above, generates results that are consistent with the consideration per TCI Share under the Arrangement.

      Consideration for TCI’s Net Other Assets
      RBC’s assessment of the Net Other Assets generates results that are consistent with the consideration of US$1.96 per TCI Share, or approximately US$119.0 million in aggregate, being paid for the TCI Shares under the Arrangement in addition to the US$29.01 per TCI Share that is attributable to TCI’s investment in TPI.
      Recent Trading Levels of TCI SVS
      The consideration per TCI Share under the Arrangement of US$30.97 equates to a price of C$34.09, based on the Bank of Canada’s closing rate of exchange of 1.1009 on June 2, 2006, the last trading day prior to the Announcement, which represents a premium of 30.2% to the C$26.19 closing market price of the TCI SVS on June 2, 2006. This premium is within the range of premiums for transactions involving real estate operating companies and above the range of premiums for transactions involving REITs in Canada over the past six years.
      Fairness Conclusion
      Based upon and subject to the foregoing, RBC is of the opinion that, as of the date hereof, the consideration under the Arrangement is fair from a financial point of view to the TCI Shareholders.

      (c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of SVS or MVS that is not registered in the transfer records of the Corporation, a cheque representing the proper amount of Arrangement Consideration (or other form of immediately available funds) may be delivered to the transferee if the certificate(s) representing such SVS or MVS (which also represents any fractional SVS issued in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(f)) is surrendered to the Depositary, accompanied by a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer.
      (d) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.1, each certificate representing SVS (other than SVS held by Dissenting Shareholders) or MVS (which also represents any fractional SVS issued in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(f)) shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a cash payment in the proper amount as contemplated by this Section 3.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 3.4.

3.2     Lost Certificates
      In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding SVS (other than SVS held by Dissenting Shareholders) or MVS shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) for the proper amount of cash, deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal and this Plan of Arrangement.

      The Corporation, NewCo or the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any holder of MVS or SVS pursuant to Section 2.2, such amounts as the Corporation, NewCo or the Depositary determines it is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to any payments or distributions to such holder under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign tax laws, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the securities in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

The Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Option Payment such amounts as the Corporation determines it is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to any payments or distributions to such holder under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign tax laws, in each case, as amended.
