FIBRA Macquarie México Announces Appointment of New Independent Technical Committee Member

FIBRA Macquarie México (FIBRA Macquarie) (BMV:FIBRAMQ) announced that Michael Brennan has been appointed as an independent member of the Technical Committee and the Ethics and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Brennan brings a wealth of knowledge to the Committee from his extensive US REIT industry experience. The Technical Committee is now comprised of 83% independent members.

“We are excited to welcome Michael to the Technical Committee. Michael’s experience in founding and growing several successful real estate investment vehicles will be invaluable to FIBRA Macquarie. We look forward to benefitting from Michael’s significant expertise as we continuously develop and execute on our objectives to create long term value for investors,” stated Juan Monroy, chief executive officer of FIBRA Macquarie.

Michael Brennan is a co-founder, chairman, and managing principal of Brennan Investment Group. Mr. Brennan has orchestrated more than US$14 billion in industrial real estate transactions in the course of his 33-year career.

Prior to forming Brennan Investment Group, Mr. Brennan co-founded First Industrial Realty Trust (NYSE: FR) in 1994, and served as president, chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors until late 2008.

Before co-founding First Industrial Realty Trust, Mr. Brennan was a president and partner in The Shidler Group, a nationally prominent US real estate firm. He was a founding investor of Tri-Net Property Trust and co-founder and member of the board of directors for Pacific Office Properties (AMEX: PCE), an office REIT.

He began his industrial real estate career in 1984, as an investment specialist with CB Commercial. Mr. Brennan earned his Bachelor’s degree in Finance from the University of Notre Dame in 1979.

Mr. Brennan currently serves as executive director of the University of Wisconsin’s James A. Graaskamp Center for Real Estate. Under his direction, The Guide to Classifying Industrial Property Types was written, the rights for which were later acquired by the Urban Land Institute (ULI).

Mr. Brennan’s appointment was confirmed at FIBRA Macquarie’s recent annual general meeting held on April 24, 2018. Consistent with all other Manager-appointed independent Technical Committee members, Mr. Brennan’s re-appointment in subsequent years is also subject to confirmation by unitholders at the annual general meeting, and he is required to invest 40% of his Technical Committee fees in FIBRA Macquarie certificates, to be purchased on the secondary market and increasing alignment with FIBRA Macquarie investors.
