BACKGROUND

 

The subject was incorporated in the ACT on 29 January 1985 as Plena Ltd, changing name on 3 October 1983 to Bond St Associates Ltd, changing name on 8 March 1984 to Macquarie Associates Ltd, before adopting the current style on 15 March 2006.

 

The subject has origins from the merchant bank Hill Samuel Australia (HSA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hill Samuel & Co. Limited, London.  Established in Australia in 1969, it began operations in Sydney in January 1970 with only three staff.

In 1981, HSA commenced work on a proposal to become a trading bank. Authority for HSA to become Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL) was received from the Federal Treasurer on 28 February 1985, making it only the second private trading bank to be established in Australia this century.

Macquarie Bank took over all the existing activities of HSA and opened its doors for business on 1 March 1985 with a retail branch in Sydney. A trading bank branch was opened in Melbourne a few months later and in Brisbane in November 1986.

On 29 July 1996, Macquarie Bank Limited listed its fully paid ordinary shares on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and on 30 October 1996 entered the ASX's All Ordinaries Index, with a market capitalisation of approximately $1.3 billion.

In October 2007, MBL securityholders and optionholders and the Federal Court of Australia approved the restructure of the Macquarie group into a non-operating holding company (“NOHC”) structure. The NOHC and ultimate parent of the Macquarie group, Macquarie Group Limited, is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: MQG).
