                                PROXY STATEMENT
 
  This Proxy Statement ("Proxy Statement") is furnished to holders of Common
Stock ("Common Stock") of CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the solicitation by the
Company's Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to be held on May 18, 1999 (the "Annual Meeting"), or at any
adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in the
accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders of record
on March 19, 1999, the record date, will be entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, the Company had
21,130,650 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held. The
Annual Meeting will be held at 8:00 a.m., local time, at The Los Angeles
Marriott Downtown Hotel, 333 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, California.
The Company's Proxy Statement and form of proxy are being mailed or delivered
to stockholders on approximately March 31, 1999. For purposes of this Proxy
Statement, "CBRE" refers to the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, CB Richard
Ellis, Inc.
 
  Shares represented by proxies in the form enclosed, if the proxies are
properly executed and returned and not revoked, will be voted as specified.
Where no specification is made on a properly executed and returned proxy, the
shares (other than shares held within the Company's Capital Accumulation Plan
(the "Cap Plan")) will be voted FOR the election of all nominees for Director,
FOR the approval and adoption of the Company's 1999 Employee Stock Option
Plan, FOR approval and adoption of the Amended and Restated Annual Management
Bonus Plan, and FOR the ratification of the selection of Arthur Andersen LLP
to serve as independent accountants for the Company for 1999. Vanguard
Fiduciary Trust Company is the trustee (the "Trustee") for the Cap Plan and
will vote the shares of Common Stock held within the Cap Plan ("Cap Plan
Shares") as directed on the enclosed proxy card by each plan participant to
whose account shares have been credited. The Trustee will vote any Cap Plan
Shares for which participant directions are not received with respect to
proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4 (election of Directors, approval and adoption of the
1999 Employee Stock Option Plan, approval and adoption of the Amended and
Restated Annual Management Bonus Plan and ratification of appointment of
independent accountants) in the same proportion as the shares of Common Stock
for which the Trustee did receive participant directions. On March 19, 1999,
there were 2,252,444 shares of Common Stock held within the Cap Plan.
 
  The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the
Company's outstanding shares constitutes a quorum for the transaction of
business at the Annual Meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality vote. The
other matters submitted for stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting will be
decided by the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented in
person or by proxy and entitled to vote on each such matter. Abstentions with
respect to any matter are treated as shares present or represented and
entitled to vote on that matter and thus have the same effect as negative
votes.
 
  Proxies may be revoked at any time before voting by filing a notice of
revocation with the Secretary of the Company, by filing a later dated proxy
with the Secretary of the Company or by voting in person at the Annual
Meeting. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions or "broker
non-votes" (i.e., shares held by a broker or nominee which are represented at
the Annual Meeting, but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not
empowered to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted as shares that are
present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a
quorum.
 
  The Board of Directors knows of no matters to come before the Annual Meeting
other than the matters referred to in this Proxy Statement. If, however, any
matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of each
of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote such proxies in
accordance with such person's discretionary authority to act in such person's
best judgment.
 
                                       1

  The expense of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. The
principal solicitation of proxies is being made by mail and personal delivery;
however, additional solicitation may be made by telephone, telegram or other
means by Directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company. No
additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such
services.
 
                                PROPOSAL NO. 1
 
                     NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
  The Board of Directors proposes the election of thirteen Directors of the
Company to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and thereafter
until their successors are elected and qualified. If any nominee is unable or
declines to serve as director at the time of the Annual Meeting, an event not
now anticipated, proxies will be voted for any nominee designated by the Board
of Directors to fill the vacancy.

    1997 and forgiven in 1998, and the interest accrued in 1998 and forgiven
    in 1999, under the promissory notes delivered by Messrs. Didion and Beban
    pursuant to the Company's Equity Incentive Plan (the "EIP"). Includes
    interest accrued in 1997 and forgiven in 1998 and interest accrued in 1998

(3) Consists of each individual's allocable share of profit sharing
    contributions in the form of shares of Common Stock made by the Company to
    the Company's Cap Plan, based on the value of the stock at the time of
    contribution based on the appraised or market value of Common Stock.
(4) Pursuant to the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, shares of Common Stock
    were purchased by such individual in 1996 for a purchase price of $10 per
    share (the appraised value of the Common Stock at the time of such
    purchase), which was paid by delivery of a full recourse promissory note.
    The notes bear interest at the rate of 6.84% per annum which may be
    forgiven if the executive's performance produces a high enough level of
    bonus (approximately $7,500 in interest is forgiven for each $10,000
    bonus). The aggregate number and value of such shares held by the
    individuals named above as of December 31, 1998 and net of the purchase
    price of such shares was as follows: Mr. Didion--175,027 ($1,422,094); and
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
   Mr. Beban--53,910 ($438,019). The shares vest at the rate of 5 percent per
   quarter commencing December 31, 1995. As a result of bonuses paid in 1997,
   1998 and in 1999 all interest on the various promissory notes for 1996,
   1997 and 1998, respectively, were forgiven.
(5) In 1998, Mr. Wirta received options to purchase 100,000 shares of Common
    Stock, which were amended on December 15, 1998. Pursuant to the amendment,
    the options were repriced and the number of shares underlying such options
    was reduced by 20% to 80,000 shares. Mr. Wirta also had an options for
    100,000 shares, granted in 1997, amended on December 15, 1998 and reduced
    to options to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock. Messrs. White and
    Beban did not receive any new option grants in 1998, but Messrs. White and
    Beban each had options to purchase 60,000 shares of Common Stock amended
    and repriced on December 15, 1998, pursuant to which the shares underlying
    such options were reduced to 48,000 shares of Common Stock each. See the
    "Option Grants Table" and accompanying footnotes for additional
    information.
(6) Pursuant to the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, in 1998 Mr. White
    purchased 25,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $38.50 per
    share (the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of the
    purchase) which was paid by a full recourse promissory note. The note
    bears interest at a rate of 5.94% per annum which may be forgiven if the
    executive's performance produces a high enough level of bonus
    (approximately $7,500 in interest is forgiven for each $10,000 bonus). Mr.
    White held a total of 25,000 shares as of December 31, 1998, which, net of
    the purchase price, had a negative value. A First Amendment to the
    Promissory Note dated June 1, 1998 provides that the portion of the then
    outstanding principal in excess of the fair market value of the shares
    shall be forgiven in the event that Mr. White is an employee of the
    Company or its subsidiaries on November 16, 2002 and the fair market value
    of a share of the Company's Common Stock is less than $38.50 on November
    16, 2002. In the event of any such principal forgiveness the Company shall
    pay to Mr. White an amount equal to any federal, state or local income tax
    liability resulting from such principal forgiveness.
(7) Mr. Haeckel's employment by the Company commenced in April 1997.
(8) Includes a bonus of $75,000 paid in the second quarter of 1997.
(9) Pursuant to the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, Mr. Haeckel purchased
    35,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $23.50 per share
    (the market value of the Common Stock at the time of such purchase), which
    was paid by delivery of a full recourse promissory note. The note bears
    interest at a rate of 6.8% per annum which may be forgiven if the
    executive's performance produces a high enough level of bonus
    (approximately $7,500 in interest is forgiven for each $10,000 bonus). Mr.
    Haeckel held a total of 35,000 shares as of December 31, 1998, which, net
    of the purchase price, had a negative value. A First Amendment to the
    Promissory Note effective as of November 17, 1998 provides that the
    portion of the then outstanding principal in excess of the fair market
    value of the shares shall be forgiven in the event that Mr. Haeckel is an
    employee of the Company or its subsidiaries on November 16, 2002 and the
    fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock is less than
    $23.50 on November 16, 2002. In the event of any such principal
    forgiveness the Company shall pay to Mr. Haeckel an amount equal to any
    federal, state or local income tax liability resulting from such principal
    forgiveness.
 
  As part of the senior management succession planning which began in early
1998, upon election by the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting Ray Wirta
will succeed James Didion as the Company's CEO. Mr. Didion will continue as
Chairman. As part of this change, the Company and Mr. Didion have entered into

  Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation
Decisions. The members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, who are appointed by the Board of Directors, are Messrs. Blum,
Freeman, Koll and Ueberroth.
 
  Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation.
 
  The Company's policies relating to compensation of its executive officers
and other senior executives are intended to provide incentives to attract,
retain and reward executives in order to enhance the Company's profitability
and performance. This goal is achieved in part by materially linking each
individual executive's compensation with the results achieved by such
executive.
 
  Compensation of each of the named executive officers as well as other senior
executives consists of a base salary and annual incentive compensation
pursuant to the Annual Management Bonus Plan. (See "Proposal No. 3--Approval
and Adoption of the Amended and Restated Annual Management Bonus Plan"). Base
salaries are below the levels for a number of the Company's competitors as the
Company relies significantly on annual and longer term incentive compensation
to attract, retain and motivate senior managers.
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
  Annual incentive compensation, which generally is paid in cash, is tied to
the Company's financial performance, the performance of certain units within
the Company and the results achieved by each individual executive in the
preceding fiscal year. The annual incentive compensation actually paid to each
executive is based on the Company's level of financial performance, the level
of performance of the business unit for which the executive is responsible and
the executive's achievement of individual performance goals established at the
beginning of the year. Performance goals range from specific financial goals
(such as sales growth, margin improvement or cost reductions) to strategic
goals (such as increased market share, new product development and innovation
and cross-selling) to management goals (such as productivity and quality
improvement and personnel matters). Specific weighting is assigned to each
identified goal. At the end of the year, performance of these goals is
determined on an arithmetic scale with the pre-established weighting.
 
  The Chief Executive Officer's annual incentive compensation, like that of
other executives, is tied to the Company's financial performance and the
results achieved by the Chief Executive Officer as evaluated by the
Compensation Committee. The Chief Executive Officer's lower annual incentive
compensation for 1998 was based in part on the Company's operating results in
1998 compared to 1997.
 
  Executive officers and other senior officers are also provided longer term
incentive compensation through grants of restricted stock awards and stock
options which vest over time. The Compensation Committee believes that stock
option grants provide an incentive to senior management to view the Company
from the perspective of equity shareholders because such options provide value
to the recipient only when the value of the Company's stock increases above
the grant price of the options. Grants of restricted stock provide a similar
incentive. In determining recommendations of grants of restricted stock and
stock options to individual executives (other than to the Chief Executive
Officer), the Chief Executive Officer considers, among other things, the level
of responsibility and contribution and anticipated performance requirements of
each individual.
 
  In 1996 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted the
1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") and the Board of
Directors reserved 550,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance thereunder. The
purpose of the plan is to offer selected senior executives an opportunity to
acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase
such interest, by purchasing at fair market value shares of the Company's
Common Stock. In 1997, 35,000 shares were sold to a senior executive for a
purchase price of $23.50 and in 1998, 25,000 shares were sold to a senior
executive for a purchase price of $38.50 per share. See Notes 4, 6 and 9 to
"Executive Compensation--Summary Compensation Table" above.
 
  In 1993 the Code was amended to eliminate the deduction for compensation in
excess of $1 million per year paid to the chief executive officer and the four
top-paid executive officers of public reporting companies. The Company
currently does not intend to limit compensation to its executive officers
because of limits on deductions under the Code. (See "Proposal No. 3--Approval
and Adoption of the Amended and Restated Annual Management Bonus Plan").
 
  On November 19, 1998, the Committee approved a stock option repricing
program pursuant to which any employees having options with an exercise price
above $20.00 per share were entitled to elect to amend such options for
options having: (i) an exercise price of $20.00 (the closing price of the
Company's Common Stock on December 15, 1998, the effective date of the amended
options, was $15.94); (ii) a 20% reduction in the number of option shares and
(iii) generally the same terms and conditions, except that the amended options
vesting schedule restarted on December 15, 1998. Options to purchase 1,292,676
shares of Common Stock were amended pursuant to the program, resulting in
amended options to purchase 1,034,152 shares of Common Stock.
 
  The Committee believes that stock options are a critical component of the
compensation offered by the Company to promote long-term retention of key
employees, motivate high levels of performance and recognize employee
contributions to the success of the Company. Prior to the repricing, the
exercise price of a options held by employees eligible to participate in the
program was in excess of the market price at a level that the Committee
believed rendered such options no longer an effective tool to encourage
employee retention or to motivate high levels of performance.

  Stock Performance Graph. Set forth below is a graph comparing the yearly
percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on the Company's
Common Stock with the cumulative total stockholder return of (i) the NASDAQ
Market Index; (ii) the NYSE Market Index (the Company moved to, and commenced
trading on, the New York Stock Exchange on November 7, 1997); and (iii) a peer
group index consisting of the common stock of Grubb & Ellis Co., a commercial
real estate brokerage company traded on the New York Stock Exchange, for the
period from December 31, 1993 through December 31, 1998. Cumulative total
stockholder return consists of change in stock price and cumulative dividends,
assuming dividend reinvestment. The amount used for the stock price of the
Company's Common Stock for periods prior to November 26, 1996 (when the Common
Stock commenced trading on The Nasdaq National Market) is the appraised value
for purposes of the Company's Capital Accumulation Plan of the Company's Class
B-2 Common Stock (which converted into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis on
December 2, 1996). The appraised value reflected a discount applied by the
outside appraisal firm due to the Company's stock not being publicly traded
and being subject to numerous restrictions on transfer. The comparisons in
this table are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not
intended to forecast or be indicative of possible future performance of the
Company's stock.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
 
  As part of the senior management succession planning which began in early
1998, upon election by the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting Ray Wirta
will succeed James Didion as the Company's CEO. Mr. Didion will continue as
Chairman. As part of this change, the Company and Mr. Didion have entered into
an amended and restated ten-year employment agreement which provides for an
annual salary of $500,000 with no incentive compensation or bonus anticipated
after 1999. Mr. Didion will act as a Senior Adviser to the Company during the
term of his employment. For so long as he is employed, the Company will
provide Mr. Didion with medical and other benefits generally made available to
senior officers and an office, a secretary and clerical help. The amended
agreement is terminable by the Company for cause. Cause includes conviction of
a felony, fraud and willful and substantial failure to render services. If the
agreement is terminated without cause or in the event of his death or total
disability, Mr. Didion (or his estate) will continue to be entitled to the
salary and will be fully vested in any unvested stock options or stock
purchase rights.
 
  In February 1995 the Company retained the law firm of McDermott, Will &
Emery, to which Mr. Anderson is counsel, to provide services to the Company
consisting of legal counsel in connection with the Company's activities with
certain Federal agencies.
 
  In connection with the Company's acquisition of Koll Real Estate Services
through a merger on August 28, 1997, the Company entered into an employment
agreement, dated May 14, 1997, with Mr. Rothe (the "Rothe Employment
Agreement"), and into a consulting agreement, dated July 16, 1997, with Mr.
Koll (the "Koll Consulting Agreement"), both which became effective as of
August 28, 1997. Pursuant to the Rothe Employment Agreement, the Company
agreed to employ Mr. Rothe as Senior Executive Vice President of the Company.
Pursuant to such employment agreement, Mr. Rothe is entitled to receive (i) a
base annual salary in the amount of $325,000 which will be reviewed from time
to time by the Company but will not be made less than $325,000, (ii)
participation in the Annual Management Bonus Plan which may entitle him to an
annual bonus equal to, less than or greater than one hundred percent of his
salary and (iii) a grant of a ten year stock option for 100,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $22.75 per share. The option vests as to
one-third of the shares on August 28, 2000, as to two-thirds on August 28,
2001, and as to all of the shares on August 28, 2002. Upon any termination of
employment, Mr. Rothe will forfeit all unvested shares. Mr. Rothe's employment
agreement expires August 27, 1999. In addition options on identical terms to
Mr. Rothe's were granted to Mr. Wirta (100,000 shares) and to Mr. Richard S.
Abraham (50,000 shares) in connection with their
 
                                      15

retention as employees of the Company. Mr. Abraham has resigned from the
Company effective March 31, 1998 and has forfeited such option.
 
  Pursuant to the Koll Consulting Agreement, Mr. Koll agreed to serve as a
consultant to the Company as an independent contractor. Mr. Koll is entitled
to receive (i) a base salary of $12,500 per month and (ii) the grant of a
stock option to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock for an exercise price
of $36.75 per share which is fully vested but will terminate one year after
such consulting agreement is terminated. The Koll Consulting Agreement had a
term of one year which ended on August 27, 1998.
 
  Pursuant to the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, a restricted stock purchase
plan, shares of Common Stock were purchased in 1996 by the executive officers
and Directors named below for a purchase price of $10 per share (the appraised
value of the Common Stock at the time of such purchase), which was paid by
delivery of a full recourse promissory note. The notes bear interest at the
rate of 6.84% per annum which may be forgiven if the executive's performance
produces a high enough level of bonus (approximately $7,500 in interest is
forgiven for each $10,000 bonus). The aggregate number and value of such
shares held by the individuals named above as of December 31, 1998 and net of
the purchase price of such shares was as follows: Mr. Didion--175,027
($1,422,094) and Mr. Beban--53,910 ($438,019). The shares vest at the rate of
5 percent per quarter commencing December 31, 1996. As a result of bonuses
paid in 1999, all interest on the various promissory notes for 1998 were
forgiven. In 1997, Mr. Haeckel purchased 35,000 shares of Common Stock for a
purchase price of $23.50 per share (the market value of the Common Stock on
the date of the purchase), which was paid by the delivery of a promissory
note. The note bears interest at a rate of 6.8% per annum, which may be
forgiven as previously described. As of December 31, 1998, Mr. Haeckel held
35,000 shares which, net of the purchase price, had a negative value. The
shares vest at a rate of 5% per quarter commencing June 30, 1997. As a result
of the bonus paid in 1999, interest on the promissory note for 1998 was
forgiven. A First Amendment to the Promissory Note effective as of November
17, 1998 provides that the portion of the then outstanding principal in excess
of the fair market value of the shares shall be forgiven in the event that Mr.
Haeckel is an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries on November 16, 2002
and the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock is less
than $23.50 on November 16, 2002. In the event of any such principal
forgiveness the Company shall pay to Mr. Haeckel an amount equal to any
federal, state or local income tax liability resulting from such principal
forgiveness. In 1998, Brett White purchased 25,000 shares of Common Stock for
a purchase price of $38.50 per shares (the market value of the Common Stock on
the date of purchase), which was paid for by the delivery of a promissory
note. The note bears interest at a rate of 5.94% per annum, which may be
forgiven as previously described. As of December 31, 1998, Mr. White held
25,000 shares which, net of the purchase price, had a negative value. The
shares are subject to a right of repurchase by the Company, which terminates
with respect to 5% of the total number of shares each quarter commencing March
31, 1998. A First Amendment to the Promissory Note dated June 1, 1998 provides
that the portion of the then outstanding principal in excess of the fair
market value of the shares shall be forgiven in the event that Mr. White is an
employee of the Company or its subsidiaries on November 16, 2002 and the fair
market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock is less than $38.50 on
November 16, 2002. In the event of any such principal forgiveness the Company
shall pay to Mr. White an amount equal to any federal, state or local income
tax liability resulting from such principal forgiveness.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
  Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") thereunder require
the Company's executive officers and Directors to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership of the Company's securities with the Commission and
to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports they file. Based on its
review of such reports received by it and written representations from certain
reporting persons, the Company believes that during 1998 all filing
requirements applicable to its executive officers and Directors were met.

       PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE CB RICHARD ELLIS SERVICES, INC.
                        1999 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
  On February 23, 1999, the Board of Directors approved adoption of the
Company's 1999 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Plan"), subject to the
approval of the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The following
summary of the principal features of the Stock Plan is qualified by reference
to the terms of the Stock Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix
A. Stockholders are urged to read the Stock Plan in its entirety.
 
Stock Plan
 
  The Stock Plan provides for the grant of options or awards to purchase of an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, including both incentive stock
options ("ISO") to purchase Common Stock intended to qualify for preferential
tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and nonstatutory stock options ("NSO") to purchase
Common Stock that do not qualify for such treatment under the Code. All
employees (including officers and Directors) of the Company or any subsidiary
and any independent contractor who performs services for the Company or a
subsidiary are eligible to receive grants of NSOs or ISOs; provided, however,
that such employee or independent contractor must be identified by the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company as a key employee.
 
  The purpose of the Stock Plan is to assist the Company in the recruitment,
retention and motivation of employees and of independent contractors who are
in a position to make material contributions to the Company's progress. The
Stock Plan offers a significant incentive to the employees and independent
contractors of the Company by enabling such individuals to acquire the Common
Stock, thereby increasing their proprietary interest in the growth and success
of the Company. The Company believes that the granting of options is necessary
to attract the highest quality personnel as well as to reward and thereby
retain existing key personnel. Moreover, the attraction and retention of such
personnel is essential to the continued progress of the Company which
ultimately is in the interests of the Company's stockholders.
 
 Administration
 
  Administration of the Stock Plan has been delegated to the Compensation
Committee, which consists of two or more disinterested members of the Board of
Directors. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Stock Plan, the
Compensation Committee has the authority to determine, among other things, to
whom options will be granted, the number of shares, the term during which an
option may be exercised and the rate at which the options may be exercised and
the shares may vest. All questions of interpretation or application of the
Stock Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee, whose decisions are
final and binding upon all participants.
 
 Terms of Options and Awards
 
  The maximum term of each option that may be granted under the Stock Plan is
10 years. An option may, if so determined by the Compensation Committee,
constitute an ISO to the extent that the aggregate fair market
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
value (determined at the time the option is granted) of Common Stock with
respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any optionee
during any calendar year (under the Stock Plan and all other stock option
plans of the Company or its subsidiaries) does not exceed $100,000. No options
may be granted under the Stock Plan to the extent such grant would cause the
total number of shares of Common Stock subject to stock options granted by the
Company (excluding only stock options granted pursuant to the 1998 Stock
Purchase Plan) pursuant to any compensatory stock option plan to exceed 15
percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
 
  The exercise price under each option shall be the fair market value of
Company's common stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price
may be paid by (i) cashier's check or wire transfer, (ii) with the consent of
the Compensation Committee, through the tender to the Company of shares of
Common Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the
extent to which the exercise price has been paid thereby, at their fair market
value on the date of exercise or (iii) with the consent of the Compensation
Committee, through the exercise of a full recourse promissory note on terms
satisfactory to the Compensation Committee. The Company shall have the right,
as a condition to the exercise of any option, to withhold from any amount
payable to the optionee, or require the optionee to remit to the Company (or a
subsidiary) an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local or
foreign withholding tax requirements imposed with respect to the exercise of
the option or the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the option.
 
 Amendment and Termination
 
  The Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may, at any time and
from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Stock Plan as to any shares
of Common Stock as to which options have not been granted. No amendment shall,
without the approval of the Company's stockholders, (a) materially change the
requirements as to the eligibility to receive options, (b) increase the
maximum number of shares subject to the Stock Plan (with certain exceptions
described below in "Effect of Certain Corporate Events"), (c) change the
minimum option price (with certain exceptions described below in "Effect of
Certain Corporate Events"), (d) increase the maximum period during which
options may be exercised, (e) extend the term of the Stock Plan or (f)
materially increase the benefits accruing to any optionee under the Stock
Plan.
 
 Effect of Certain Corporate Events
 
  If the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or
changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other
securities of the Company, by reason of any recapitalization, stock split-up,
combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other
distribution payable in capital stock, or other increase affecting such
outstanding shares generally that is effected without receipt of consideration
by the Company, occurring after the effective date of the Stock Plan, the
number and kinds of shares for which options may be granted under the Stock
Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Compensation
Committee.
 
  Except as provided in the next paragraph, in the event of a merger or other
reorganization pursuant to which the Company is the surviving company, any
option previously granted pursuant to the Stock Plan shall be proportionately
adjusted, and the exercise price will be adjusted such that the aggregate
option price will be the same as the aggregate option price of the shares
subject to the option immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or
consolidation.
 
  Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or upon a merger, or
reorganization (whether or not the Company is the surviving company) or sale
of substantially all of the assets of the Company to another company in any
transaction not approved by the Board of Directors which results in any person
or entity owning twenty-five percent or more of the combined voting power of
all classes of the Company's stock, the Stock Plan and options thereunder
shall terminate, except to the extent that provision is made in writing in
connection with such transaction for the continuation of the Stock Plan and/or
the assumption of the options granted under the Stock Plan. In the event of
any such termination of the Stock Plan, each individual holding an option
shall have the right immediately prior to such termination, as the
Compensation Committee in its sole discretion shall determine and designate,
to exercise such option in whole or in part, whether or not such option was
exercisable at the time such termination occurs.
 
                                      18

 Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of Options Under the Stock Plan
 
  Neither the optionee nor the Company will incur any federal tax consequences
as a result of the grant of an option. The optionee will have no taxable
income upon exercising an ISO (except the alternative minimum tax may apply),
and the Company will receive no deduction when an ISO is exercised. Upon
exercising a NSO, the optionee generally must recognize ordinary income equal
to the "spread" between the exercise price and the fair market value of Common
Stock on the date of exercise; the Company will be entitled to a deduction for
the same amount. In the case of an employee, the option spread at the time a
NSO is exercised is subject to income tax withholding, but the optionee
generally may elect to satisfy the withholding tax obligation by having shares
of Common Stock withheld from those purchased under the NSO. The tax treatment
of a disposition of option shares acquired under the Stock Plan depends on how
long the shares have been held and on whether such shares were acquired by
exercising an ISO or by exercising a NSO. The Company will not be entitled to
a deduction in connection with a disposition of option shares, except in the
case of a disposition of shares acquired under an ISO before the applicable
ISO holding periods have been satisfied.
 
  The above description of tax consequences is based upon federal tax laws and
regulations and does not purport to be a complete description of the federal
income tax aspects of the Stock Plan.
 
  The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" approval and adoption of the
                                   Company's
                       1999 Employee Stock Option Plan.

               APPROVAL AND ADOPTION OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
                         ANNUAL MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN
 
  The following summary of the principal features of the Amended and Restated
Annual Management Bonus Plan (the "Plan") is qualified by reference to the
terms of the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix B.
Stockholders are urged to read the Plan in its entirety.
 
  The Plan has been in operation since 1989. It is the bonus plan for most of
the senior officers of CB Richard Ellis, Inc. as well as the chairmen of the
Europe, Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin American Regions. In
1998 for the first time two executive officers had the potential to have the
sum of their salary and bonus pursuant to the Plan exceed the $1,000,000
threshold of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). If that had occurred, any
amount in excess of $1,000,000 would have been non-deductible. The Company
believes that with stockholder approval the Plan will qualify as a performance
based plan so that bonuses paid to executive officers under the Plan will not
be subject to Section 162(m). Under the Plan each participant is given a
"reference point award," or RPA, which is the amount of bonus that will be
paid if the participant scores 100 per cent on each of three criteria. A
participant's RPA is generally 50% to 100% of his or her salary but can be a
higher or lower percentage. The first criteria involves the Company achieving
a level of consolidated earnings before taxes, amortization and depreciation
set each year by the Compensation Committee. For executive officers this
Company performance goal will generally be the major, if not the sole,
criteria for bonus. The second criteria involves meeting performance goals
with respect to a particular line of business for which the participant is
responsible. In the case of executive officers, these goals will be set by the
Compensation Committee. For other participants they will be set by the Chief
Executive Officer or his delegatee. The third criteria involves individual
goals for the participant. For executive officers these goals will generally
not apply, but if they do they will be set by the Compensation Committee. For
all other participants, individual goals will be set by the Chief Executive
Officer or his delegatee. The Plan may be amended at any time by the Board of
Directors. If the Plan is not approved by stockholders it will continue in
operation subject to the risk that some portion of the bonuses paid thereunder
will not be deductible.
 
  The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" approval and adoption of the
              Amended and Restated Annual Management Bonus Plan.

                    RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
  The Board of Directors has appointed the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP,

selection of independent accountants will be reconsidered by the Board of
Directors. Representatives from the firm of AA will be present at the Annual
Meeting. They will be provided the opportunity to make a statement if they
desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
 
   The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of Arthur
              Andersen LLP as the Company's Independent Auditors
 
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
  Management knows of no other business to be presented at the meeting. If
other matters do properly come before the meeting, persons acting pursuant to
the proxy will vote on them in their discretion.
 
                 STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2000 ANNUAL MEETING

shares is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in Section 18. If any
Option expires or terminates, for any reason prior to exercise in full, the
shares of Stock that were subject to the unexercised portion of such Option
shall be available for the grant of future Options under the Plan.

Plan) pursuant to compensatory stock option plans to exceed 15 percent of the
outstanding shares of Stock of CBRE.
 
9. Limitations on Incentive Stock Options
 
  An Option may, if so determined by the Committee, constitute an incentive
stock option to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined at
the time the option is granted) of the Stock with respect to which
 
                                      A-2

10. Option Agreements
 
  All Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by written
agreements ("Option Agreements"), to be executed by CBRE and by the Optionee,
in such form or forms and with such terms as the Committee shall from time to
time determine. Option Agreements covering Options granted from time to time
or at the same time need not contain similar provisions; provided however,
that no Option Agreements shall be inconsistent with any term of this Plan.
 
11. Option Price
 
  The purchase price of each share of Stock subject to an Option (the "Option
Price") shall be its fair market value on the date the Option is granted. In
the event that the Stock is listed on an established national or regional
stock exchange, is admitted to quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market, or is
publicly traded in an established securities market, in determining the fair
market value of the Stock, the Committee shall use: the closing price of the
Stock on such exchange or System or in such market (the highest such closing
price if there is more than one such exchange or market) on the trading date
when the Option is granted; or, if there is no such closing price, then the
Committee shall use the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked prices
or between the high and low prices on such date; or, if no sale of the Stock
has been made on such day, on the next preceding day on which any such sale
shall have been made; or such other method as the Committee may determine.
 
12. Term and Exercise of Options
 
  (a) Term. Each Option granted under the Plan shall terminate and all rights
to purchase shares thereunder shall cease upon a date fixed by the Committee
and stated in the Option Agreement. All options granted under the Plan shall
terminate no later than ten (10) years from the date of grant.
 
  (b) Option Period and Limitations on Exercise. Each Option shall be
exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time during the
term of the Option, at such times, and with such conditions, as the Committee
shall determine and set forth in the related Option Agreement. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Committee, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, may in its sole discretion provide that an Option may not be
exercised in whole or in part for any period or periods of time during which
such Option is outstanding; provided, however, that any such time limitation
on the exercise of an Option contained in any Option Agreement may be
rescinded, modified or waived by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at any
time and from time to time after the date of grant of such Option.
 
  (c) Method of Exercise and Payment. An Option may be exercised under such
rules as the Committee may establish from time-to-time by delivery to CBRE of
a written notice of exercise on any business day, at the location specified
from time-to-time by CBRE, which notice shall specify the number of shares
with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and shall be accompanied
by payment in full of the Option Price of the shares for which the Option is
being exercised. The minimum number of shares of Stock with respect to which
an Option may be exercised at any time shall be the lesser of 100 shares or
the maximum number of shares available for purchase under the Option at the
time of exercise. Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be made (i) by cashier's
check drawn on a major national bank or a wire transfer; (ii) with the consent
of the Committee, through the tender to CBRE of shares of Stock, which shares
shall be valued, for purposes of determining the extent to which the Option
Price has been paid thereby, at their fair market value (determined by the
Committee in the manner described in Section 11 above) on the date of
exercise; (iii) with the consent of the Committee, by delivery of a full
recourse promissory note on terms satisfactory to the Committee; or (iv) by a
combination of the methods described in (i), (ii) and (iii). If shares of
Stock are surrendered by an officer of CBRE who is subject to Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as payment of the Option Price and the
Stock surrendered was acquired pursuant to an
 
                                      A-3
<PAGE>
 
option to acquire CBRE common stock and such acquisition was not an exempt
transaction under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then six
(6) months must have elapsed since the date of grant of such option. The
payment in full of the Option Price shall be deemed to have been made with the
written notice of exercise provided the notice of exercise directs that the
stock certificate or certificates for the shares of Stock for which the Option
is exercised be delivered to a licensed broker acceptable to CBRE as the agent
for the individual exercising the Option and, at the time such stock
certificate or certificates are delivered, the broker tenders to CBRE cash (or
cash equivalents acceptable to CBRE) equal to the Option Price for the shares
of Stock purchased plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes
which CBRE in its discretion, requires to be withheld with respect to the
exercise of the Option. An attempt to exercise any Option granted hereunder
other than as set forth above shall be invalid and of no force and effect.
Promptly after the exercise of an Option and the payment or deemed payment in
full of the Option Price therefor and any applicable withholding taxes, the
individual exercising the Option shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock
certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of such shares. A
separate Stock certificate or certificates shall be issued for any shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option which is an incentive stock
option, which certificate or certificates shall not include any shares which
were purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option which is not an incentive
stock option. An individual holding or exercising an Option shall have none of
the rights of a stockholder until the shares of Stock covered thereby are
fully paid and issued, and except as provided in Section 19 below, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record
date is prior to the date of such issuance.
 
  (d) Withholding Taxes. CBRE (or a Subsidiary) shall have the right, as a
condition to the exercise of any Option, to withhold from any amount payable
to the Optionee, or require the Optionee to remit to CBRE (or a Subsidiary) an
amount (in the form of a cashier's check or wire transfer) sufficient to
satisfy any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax requirements
imposed with respect to the exercise of the Option or the issuance of shares
of Stock pursuant to the option as determined by the Committee in its
discretion.
 
13. Transferability of Options
 
  During the lifetime of an Optionee, only such Optionee (or, in the event of
legal incapacity or incompetency, the Optionee's guardian or legal
representative) may exercise the Option. No Option shall be assignable or
transferable by the Optionee to whom it is granted, other than by will, the
laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order as defined in Section 414 of the Code, and no Option shall be
pledged or hypothecated (by operation of law or otherwise), or subject to
execution, attachment or similar process.
 
14. Termination of Service or Employment
 
  If an Optionee ceases to be an employee or independent contractor of CBRE or
any Subsidiary for any reason other than death or "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), any Option
granted to such Optionee pursuant to the Plan shall terminate 30 days after
the date of such cessation unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 12(a)
above, and such Optionee shall have no further right to purchase shares of
Stock pursuant to such Option; provided, however, that the Committee may
provide, by inclusion of appropriate language in any Option Agreement, that an
Optionee may (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in
Section 12(b)), in the event he or she ceases to be an employee or independent
contractor, exercise an Option, in whole or in part, at a time subsequent to
such cessation and prior to termination of the Option as provided in Section
12(a) above, either subject to or without regard to any installment limitation
on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 12(b) above. Whether a leave of
absence or leave on military or government service shall cause an Optionee to
cease to be an employee or independent contractor shall be determined by the
Committee, which determination shall be final and conclusive. For purposes of
the Plan, an Optionee shall not cease to be an employee or independent
contractor if his or her employment or service terminates, but the Optionee is
immediately thereafter employed by CBRE or a Subsidiary as an employee or
independent contractor.

15. Rights in the Event of Death or Disability
 
  (a) Death. If the Optionee dies while employed by or in the service of CBRE
or a Subsidiary, except as is otherwise provided in the Option Agreement
relating to such Option, the executors, administrators, heirs, legatees or
distributees (as applicable) of such Optionee's estate shall have the right
(subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 12(b)
above), prior to termination of the Option as provided in Section 12(a) above,
to exercise any Option held by such Optionee at the date of such Optionee's
death to the extent the Option was exercisable on such date, on such terms as
the Committee may provide in the Option Agreement.
 
  (b) Disability. If the Optionee ceases to be an employee or independent
contractor of CBRE or its Subsidiaries by reason of "permanent and total
disability" (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), then such
Optionee shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise
set forth in Section 12(b) above), within the earlier of (i) one year after
such cessation, or (ii) the termination of the Option as provided in Section
12(a) above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option held by such
Optionee at the date of such cessation to the extent the Option was
exercisable on such date on such terms as the Committee may provide in the
Option Agreement, provided, however, that the Committee may provide, by
inclusion of appropriate language in the Option Agreement, that the Optionee
may (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 12(b)
above), in the event he or she ceases to be an employee or independent
contractor by reason of "permanent and total disability" (within the meaning
of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), exercise an Option, in whole or in part, at
any time subsequent to such termination and prior to termination of the Option
as provided in Section 12(a) above, either subject to or without regard to any
installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 12(b) above.
Whether an Optionee has suffered "permanent and total disability" for purposes
of this Plan shall be determined by the Committee, which determination shall
be final and conclusive.
 
16. Use of Proceeds
 
  The proceeds received by CBRE from the sale of Stock pursuant to Options
granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of CBRE.
 
17. Requirements of Law
 
  (a) Violations of Law. CBRE shall not be required to sell or issue any
shares of Stock under any Option if the sale or issuance of such shares would
constitute a violation by the individual exercising the Option or CBRE of any
provisions of any law or regulation of any governmental authority including
without limitation any federal or state securities laws or regulations.
Specifically in connection with the Securities Act of 1933 (as now in effect
or as hereafter amended), upon exercise of any Option, unless a registration
statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock
covered by such Option, CBRE shall not be required to sell or issue such
Shares unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it that the
holder of such Option may acquire such shares pursuant to an exemption from
registration under such Act. Any determination in this connection by the
Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. CBRE may, but shall in no
event be obligated to, register any securities covered hereby pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933 (as now in effect or as hereafter amended). CBRE shall
not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise
of an Option or the issuance of shares pursuant thereto to comply with any law
or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that
expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable
unless and until the shares of stock covered by such Option are registered or
are subject to an available exemption from registration, the exercise of such
Option (under circumstances in which the laws of such jurisdiction apply)
shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of such registration or the
availability of such an exemption.
 
  (b) Compliance with Rule 16b-3. The Plan is intended to comply with Rule
16b-3 or its successor rule, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, any provision of the Plan or action of the Committee that is
inconsistent with such Rule shall be deemed null and void to the extent
permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
 
                                      A-5
<PAGE>
 
18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan
 
  The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend,
suspend or terminate the Plan as to any shares of Stock as to which Options
have not been granted. The foregoing notwithstanding no amendment shall,
without the approval of the stockholders of CBRE, (a) materially change the
requirements as to the eligibility to receive options, (b) increase the
maximum number of shares subject to the Plan (except as provided in Section
l9), (c) change the minimum Option Price (except as provided in Section 19),
(d) increase the maximum period during which options may be exercised, (e)
extend the term of the Plan, or (f) materially increase the benefits accruing
to any Optionee under the Plan. Except as permitted under Section 19 hereof,
no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent
of the holder of the Option, materially alter or materially impair rights or
obligations under any Option theretofore granted under the Plan.
 
19. Effect of Changes in Capitalization
 
  (a) Changes in Stock. If the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or
decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares or other securities of CBRE by reason of any recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, exchange of shares,
stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other
increase affecting such outstanding shares generally that is effected without
receipt of consideration by CBRE, occurring after the effective date of the
Plan, the number and kinds of shares for the purchase of which Options may be
granted under the Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly by
the Committee. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which Options
are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the
proportionate ownership interest of the holder of the Option immediately
following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as
immediately prior to such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options
shall not change the aggregate Option Price payable with respect to shares
subject to the unexercised portion of the Option outstanding but shall include
a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price per share. If
there is a distribution payable in the capital stock of a Subsidiary ("Spin-
off Shares"), to the extent consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.425-
1(a)(6) or the corresponding provision of any subsequent regulation, each
outstanding Option shall thereafter additionally pertain to the number of
Spin-off Shares which would have been received if the Optionee had been the
holder on the distribution date of the number of shares that are subject to
the Option at the time of such distribution, and the aggregate Option Price of
the Option shall be allocated between the Spin-off Shares and the Stock in
proportion to the relative fair market values of a Spin-off Share and a share
of Stock immediately after the distribution of Spin-off Shares.
 
  (b) Reorganization in Which CBRE Is the Surviving Company. Subject to
Section 19(c), if CBRE shall be the surviving company in any reorganization,
merger, or consolidation of CBRE with one or more other companies, any Option
theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the
securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such
Option would have been entitled immediately following such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the
Option Price per share so that the aggregate Option Price thereafter shall be
the same as the aggregate Option Price of the shares subject to the Option
immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or consolidation.
 
  (c) Dissolution; Reorganization Not Approved by the Board. Upon the
dissolution or liquidation of CBRE, or upon a merger, consolidation or
reorganization of CBRE with one or more other companies in which CBRE is not
the surviving corporation or upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of
CBRE to another company or upon any transaction (including, without
limitation, a merger or reorganization in which CBRE is the surviving company)
not approved by the Board of Directors which results in any person or entity
owning twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of all
classes of stock of CBRE, the Plan and all Options outstanding hereunder shall
terminate, except to the extent provision is made in writing in connection
with such transaction for the continuation of the Plan and/or the assumption
of the Options theretofore granted, or for the substitution for such Options
of new options covering the stock of a successor company, or a parent or
subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of
shares and exercise prices, in which event the Plan and Options theretofore
granted shall continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. In the
event of any such termination of the Plan, each individual holding an Option
shall have the
 
                                      A-6
<PAGE>
 
right immediately prior to the occurrence of such termination and during such
period occurring prior to such termination as the Committee in its sole
discretion shall determine and designate, to exercise such Option in whole or
in part, whether or not such Option was otherwise exercisable at the time such
termination occurs and without regard to any installment limitation on
exercise imposed pursuant to Section l2(b) above. The Committee shall send
written notice of an event that will result in such a termination to all
individuals who hold Options not later than the time at which CBRE gives
notice thereof to its stockholders.
 
  (d) Adjustments. Adjustments under this Section 19 related to stock or
securities of CBRE, shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in
that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. No fractional shares of
Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such
adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be
eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or
unit.
 
  (e) No Limitations on CBRE. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan
shall not affect or limit in any way the right or power of CBRE to make
adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or
business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell
or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
 
20. Disclaimer of Rights
 
  No provision in the Plan or in any Option granted or Option Agreement
entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon any
individual the right to remain in the employ or service of CBRE or any
Subsidiary, or to interfere in any way with the right and authority of any
Subsidiary either to increase or decrease the compensation of any individual
at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relations between any
individual and CBRE or any Subsidiary with or without cause and with or
without due process.
 
21. Non-Exclusivity of the Plan
 
  The adoption of the Plan shall not be construed as creating any limitations
upon the right and authority of the Committee to adopt such other incentive
compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be applicable either
generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a particular
individual or individuals) as the Committee in its discretion determines
desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options
otherwise than under the Plan.
 
22. Governing the Law
 
  The validity, interpretation and effect of this Plan, and the rights of all
persons hereunder, shall be governed by and determined in accordance with the
laws of Delaware, other than the choice of law rules thereof.
 
23. Gender and Number
 
  Except as otherwise indicated by the context, words in the masculine gender
when used in this Plan shall include the feminine gender, the singular shall
include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular.
 
24. Headings
 
  The headings herein are for convenience only and shall not be used in
interpreting the Plan.

                             AMENDED AND RESTATED
                 CB RICHARD ELLIS ANNUAL MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN
                           EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1999
 
1. REWARDS FOR COMPANY PRODUCTIVITY
 
  The CB Richard Ellis Annual Management Bonus Plan (the "Plan") was amended
and restated effective January 1, 1999 to read as set forth herein. The Plan
has been designed to reward and stimulate Participant effort toward successful
attainment of the CBRE Group's goals by directly tying the Participant's
compensation to CBRE Group and individual results achieved. The "CBRE Group"
consists of those entities which are directly or indirectly controlled by or
in control of or under common control with CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc.
CB Richard Ellis, Inc. administers the plan for the CBRE Group.
 
2. WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
 
  Participants in the Plan will be selected by the Chief Executive Officer of
CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. or his delegatee (the "CEO") except that the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation
Committee") will select which, if any, executive officers for purposes of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, will participate. Eligibility for
participation will be limited to those employees of the CBRE Group whose
position affords the opportunity to materially affect the CBRE Group's overall
profitability. Participation begins on the first day of the month following
selection as a Participant.
 
3. HOW THE PLAN WORKS
 
  A Participant is eligible for a bonus each year, based on the weighting of
three factors: (1) the consolidated "Earnings Before Taxes, Depreciation and
Amortization" or "EBTDA" of CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc., (2) performance
of the Participant's line of business or operating unit, and (3) the
Participant's individual performance.
 
  The following is a general overview of the Plan:
 
  a. In the beginning of each calendar year (or such other date as
participation commences), each Participant receives a Reference Point Award
(RPA). The RPA is the target bonus amount which is annually established based
on a Participant's position and the position's potential contribution to the
CBRE Group. For executive officers the RPA will be established by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
 
  b. EBTDA targets for the CBRE Group performance targets for each line of
business, and individual performance priorities are established at the
beginning of a calendar year (or such other date as participation commences)
for each Participant in order to measure his or her performance at the end of
a year. Each of the three factors (consolidated EBTDA, line of business
performance and personal performance) is weighted based on the Participant's
position with the total of the weightings equaling 100%. For example, for a
senior corporate executive in charge of a line of business the weighting might
be 40% CBRE Group performance, 40% line of business performance and 20%
individual performance. For executive officers all targets will be set by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee
sets the EBTDA targets for all Participants.
 
  c. At the end of the calendar year each of the three factors is calculated
   as follows:
 
    (i) CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. performance is measured against the
  consolidated EBTDA target set by the Board's Compensation Committee at the
  start of the year, with the factor established as follows:
 
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                       Factor                 Example
                                       ------                 -------
   <S>                           <C>                <C>
   0-70% of target..............                  0                  = 0% factor
    70%-100% of target..........   0%-100% pro rata   90% of target = 67% factor
   100%-200% of target.......... 100%-300% pro rata 120% of target = 140% factor
</TABLE>
 
 
                                      B-1
<PAGE>
 
    (ii) Line of business performance is measured against the target set by
  the Chief Executive Officer (by the Compensation Committee in the case of
  executive officers) at the start of the year with the same adjustments as
  set out in 3(c) above.
 
    (iii) Personal performance is measured against the written objectives
  established at the start of the year by the CEO for everyone except
  executive officers and by the Compensation Committee for executive
  officers. This factor is capped at 100%.
 
  d. The actual bonus payment is determined by multiplying each performance
factor, as adjusted in Section 3(c)(i) above, by the percentage weighting
assigned to it for the individual involved and then adding the three
percentages together. The total percentage is then multiplied by the
individual's RPA to get the bonus payable for the year.
 
  Total bonuses are limited to 25% of CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc.'s
consolidated pre-tax, pre-bonus profitability after taking account of such
other senior management incentive payments as may be determined by the CEO. If
the total bonuses and incentives estimated to be paid are greater than 25%,
then bonuses will be adjusted as determined by the CEO (by the Compensation
Committee in the case of executive officers) so that actual bonuses paid meet
the 25% limit.
 
4. LINE OF BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
 
  Line of business performance goals will vary with the nature of the business
and the objectives of the CBRE Group with respect to that business.
 
5.  INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE PRIORITIES
 
  Performance priorities for each individual will be established annually and
reviewed periodically. These will express important CBRE Group objectives in
each Participant's area of responsibility and will take into account such
considerations as the difficulty of achieving the task and the potential for
significantly exceeding or falling short of the performance priority due to
economic conditions. Individual performance priorities will be established so
that 100% achievement would be a truly outstanding performance which, while
potentially achievable, represents an appreciable challenge.
 
  Each Participant will have a minimum of three and a maximum of six personal
performance priorities. The performance priorities will be in writing and each
will be individually weighted through agreement with the individual's manager
subject to approval by the CEO (by the Compensation Committee in the case of
executive officers).
 
  At the end of the year, the extent to which the Participant has met his/her
individual performance priorities will be determined by the CEO or, in the
case of executive officers, the Compensation Committee. The result will be
utilized as one of the factors for determining the amount of bonus earned.
Achievement ratings on individual Performance Priorities may range from zero
to 100%.

6. BONUS DETERMINATION PROCESS
 
  The actual bonus payment earned by a Participant will be determined by
formula as described below:
 
Example:

Assume: RPA = $50,000         Factor Weighting: Company = 10%
                              L.O.B. = 50%
                              Individual Performance Priority = 40%
                              Company EBTDA target = $150 mill
                              Actual = $155 mill or 103%
                              L.O.B. target = $15 mill
                              Actual = $14 mill or 93%
                              Individual Performance Priorities actual = 90%

7. CEO AWARDS
 
  Additionally, exceptional achievement by a Participant may be rewarded with
a supplemental discretionary award, referred to as a "CEO Award." Such awards
may be authorized by the CEO in cases of exceptional and exceedingly deserving
circumstances. These supplemental awards will generally be made to recognize a
unique contribution to improved profitability (present or future) of the
Company. In any particular year, CEO Awards may, or may not, be granted
depending upon actual occurrences and the judgement of the CEO.
 
  The CEO's Awards will not exceed $40,000 for any single individual or more
than an aggregate of $750,000 in any year for all Participants. Executive
officers are not eligible for CEO awards.
 
8. HOW BONUSES ARE PAID
 
  It is CB Richard Ellis' intent that all bonuses earned will be paid in cash.
However, CB Richard Ellis reserves the right to distribute common stock in CB
Richard Ellis Services, Inc. or other non-cash forms of compensation in lieu
of cash in the event economic circumstances dictate such action. Subject to
management's final approval of bonus awards, bonuses will be distributed after
the end of the fiscal year and the completion of the Company's audit, usually
in late February. Federal and state income taxes and other required taxes will
be deducted from bonuses.

9. EMPLOYEE TRANSFERS
 
  If an employee transfers to a new position, he or she is eligible for a
bonus as follows:
 
  . If the transfer is to a position that is not currently eligible for
    participation in the Plan, the Participant will receive a prorated bonus
    based on the number of full calendar months worked in the eligible
    position.
 
  . If the transfer (which could be in the form of a promotion) is to another
    position which is eligible for the Executive Bonus Plan, the Participant
    will receive a prorated bonus for each position based on the number of
    full months worked in each position, and his or her ratings for each
    position.
 
10.  IF EMPLOYMENT STATUS CHANGES
 
  If employment terminates during the year, eligibility for a bonus will
depend on the reason for the termination:
 
  (a) General. If the termination is for any reason other than total and
permanent disability, retirement or death all rights to a bonus are forfeited
without regard to whether the Participant quits or is terminated with or
without cause.
 
  (b) Retirement. If an employee retires at age 55 or older with at least 15
years of service with the CBRE Group or at age 65 or older regardless of years
of service and has participated in the Plan for at least six months of the
year, the bonus will be prorated based on the number of full months of
participation in the Plan. The prorated bonus will be paid at the time bonuses
are paid to all Participants. If participation in the Plan is for less than
six months during the year of retirement, the Participant is not eligible for
a bonus for that year.
 
  (c) Death or total disability  If a Participant dies during a year or is
totally and permanently disabled as defined in the CB Richard Ellis, Inc. Long
Term Disability Plan, the bonus will be prorated based on the number of full
months of participation in the Plan. The prorated bonus will be paid at the
time bonuses are paid to all Participants. In the case of death, payment will
be made to the beneficiary designated for group term life insurance or if
there is no such beneficiary to the Participant's estate.
 
11. AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND INTERPRETATION
 
  CB Richard Ellis Services, Inc. reserves the right at any time prior to
payment of the awards to review, interpret, alter, amend, or terminate
(discontinue) the Amended and Restated Annual Management Bonus Plan,
including, without limitation, the calculation and method of and eligibility
for award payments. This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment
(express or implied) or any other form of contract and cannot be relied upon
as such. This Plan does not alter the right of any member of the CBRE Group to
terminate an employee's employment with or without cause and regardless of due
process. The CEO's decision with respect to the interpretation of the Plan and
its application to any individual shall be conclusive and binding on all
persons involved, except that all such decisions with respect to executive
officers shall be made by the Compensation Committee.
 
12. MISCELLANEOUS
 
  (a) Governing Law. The Plan and each option granted hereunder shall be
subject to and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware as though all
parties were residents of Delaware.
 
  (b) Arbitration. Any and all disputes with respect to the Plan or any Option
granted hereunder shall be resolved by arbitration in Los Angeles, California
under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
using a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's award shall be conclusive, final
and binding with respect to the parties thereto. The fees of the arbitrator
shall be borne by CBRE and each party shall bear its own costs including
attorney fees.
 
  (c) Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only and shall not be
   used in interpreting the Plan.
