Dear Shareholder (and, for information only, to holders of options and awards under CSC share plans)

Notice of Adjourned Extraordinary General Meeting in relation to the proposed acquisition ofthe Trafford Centre Group

1 Introduction

On 20 December 2010, Capital Shopping Centres Group PLC (‘‘CSC’’ or the ‘‘Company’’) held anExtraordinary General Meeting (the ‘‘Original EGM’’), at which a resolution to adjourn the vote on theacquisition of the Trafford Centre Group was approved by the Company’s shareholders (the‘‘Shareholders’’).

The attached Notice of Adjourned Extraordinary General Meeting (the ‘‘Notice of Adjourned EGM’’)reconvenes the Original EGM to 4.00 p.m. on 26 January 2011 at One Whitehall Place, Westminster,London, SW1A 2EJ (the ‘‘Adjourned EGM’’).

2 Key terms of the revised Trafford Centre acquisition

On 26 November 2010, I wrote to inform you that the Company had reached an agreement withTokenhouse Holdings (IoM) Limited in connection with its proposed acquisition of the Trafford CentreGroup (the ‘‘Trafford Centre acquisition’’). Under the original terms of the Trafford Centre acquisition,the Company would acquire The Trafford Centre and receive £74.4 million in cash in exchange for Peelreceiving 167.3 million new ordinary shares in CSC and an aggregate nominal amount of £209 million4.076 per cent. Convertible Bonds to be issued by CSC. The Trafford Centre acquisition was conditionalupon Shareholder approval.

On 7 January 2011, the Company announced that the Board had revised the terms of the Trafford Centreacquisition (the ‘‘Revised Acquisition’’). The key terms of the Revised Acquisition are:

• the CSC shares being issued in respect of The Trafford Centre are being issued based on a higherprice of 400 pence per share rather than the 368 pence per share originally agreed;

• as a result, the number of shares Peel will receive has reduced from 224.1 million shares to205.9 million shares, on a fully diluted basis, a reduction of 18.2 million shares;

• Peel’s resultant holding in CSC will reduce to 23.2 per cent. of CSC’s enlarged issued share capitalon a fully diluted basis (previously 24.7 per cent.), with Peel’s initial ordinary shareholdingremaining at 19.8 per cent; and

• the Revised Acquisition is accretive to CSC’s NAV per share.

The Revised Acquisition will involve the issue of 167.3 million ordinary shares, as before, and ConvertibleBonds with an aggregate nominal amount of £154.3 million (reduced from £209.0 million). The initialconversion price of the Convertible Bonds has increased from 368 pence per share to 400 pence per share,resulting in a reduction in the number of ordinary shares underlying the Convertible Bonds from56.8 million to 38.6 million. The Convertible Bonds will bear interest at the rate of 3.750 per cent. perannum (previously 4.076 per cent. per annum). As part of these revised terms, Peel’s cash subscriptionreduces from £74.4 million to £67.4 million. The Revised Acquisition remains conditional uponShareholder approval.

Full details of the Revised Acquisition are contained in Appendix 3 to this letter. An unaudited pro formastatement of net assets, which illustrates the effect of the Placing and the Revised Acquisition, is containedin Appendix 4 to this letter.

3 Benefit of the revised Trafford Centre acquisition

In May 2010, Liberty International demerged its non-shopping centre activities and renamed itself CapitalShopping Centres Group PLC, to enable CSC to pursue a clear strategy as the leading owner, manager anddeveloper of pre-eminent UK regional shopping centres. The Revised Acquisition is absolutely in line withthis stated intention. It is a very rare opportunity to acquire 100 per cent. of a pre-eminent UK out-of-townregional shopping centre and is expected to:

• strengthen CSC’s position as the leading operator of pre-eminent UK regional shopping centresand enhance the overall quality of the portfolio. After completing the Revised Acquisition, CSC willown fourteen UK shopping centres, including ten of the top 25 and four of the top six out-of-townshopping centres;

• increase significantly CSC’s presence in the key North West regional retail market, alongsideManchester Arndale;

• enhance further the attractiveness of CSC’s portfolio to retailers;

• provide an opportunity to combine management and best practices across CSC and The TraffordCentre including, for example, adding features from The Trafford Centre’s successful leisure andcatering offering to CSC’s portfolio;

• provide significant asset management opportunities to grow ERV at The Trafford Centre with anestimated GBP50 million of investment opportunities already identified; and

• enhance further the overall financial position of CSC with the addition of The Trafford Centre’shigh-quality income stream and long-dated CMBS debt, which will extend CSC’s average debtmaturity. The annual amortisation of The Trafford Centre debt is a repayment of principal and doesnot impact on operating cash flow.

The Revised Acquisition is accretive to CSC’s NAV per share and represents an implied discount of 4.5 percent. to The Trafford Centre independent external valuation of GBP1.65 billion at 1 November 2010.

Peel’s confidence in the future value creation strategy of CSC is clearly demonstrated since Peel isinvesting further capital in the Company as part of the transaction. Peel’s objective is to be a long-termsupportive shareholder in CSC. John Whittaker will become Deputy Chairman and a non-executiveDirector of the Company, contributing considerable expertise to the Board. CSC looks forward to thecontribution of expertise and complementary skills from Peel to enhance further CSC’s prospects,combining best practices across CSC and The Trafford Centre and the management of shopping centres asdestinations in their own right.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the RevisedAcquisition at the Adjourned EGM, as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficialshareholdings amounting in aggregate to 11,569,996 ordinary shares, representing approximately 1.7 percent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

(3) The financial information of the Trafford Centre Group has been extracted without material adjustment from the historicalfinancial information in Part A of Part VIII of the combined prospectus and circular published by the Company on26 November 2010 (the ‘‘Original Prospectus’’) (‘‘Historical Financial Information of The Trafford Centre Group’’).

(4) Adjustments to reflect the Revised Acquisition and consolidation of the Trafford Centre Group are included as follows:

(a) Pre-acquisition adjustment to reflect the fact that a liability of £12.8 million recognised in the 31 March 2010 Traffordbalance sheet will be met by the Peel Group as it falls due under the terms of one of the ancillary documents to theAcquisition Agreement. This results in the recognition of an asset of £12.8 million within trade and other receivables.

(b) The Original Prospectus included investment and development property valuations that had been updated to 1 November2010, which resulted in an adjustment of £21.9 million representing an increase of £57.9 million in respect of the Groupinvestment and development property and a decrease of £36.0 million in respect of the Trafford Centre Group investmentand development property.

The Group investment and development property valuations have been updated to 31 December 2010 resulting in afurther adjustment of £102.5 million. This increase combined with the £21.9 million adjustment for the period to1 November 2010 results in a total adjustment of £124.4 million in respect of the Enlarged Group investment anddevelopment property.

The 1 November 2010 valuations were included in Part X and Part XI of the Original Prospectus. The 31 December 2010valuations of the Group’s properties are included in Appendix 5 (‘‘Valuation Reports as at 31 December 2010’’) of thisLetter.

(c) On acquisition, as part of the Enlarged Group, the Trafford Centre Group automatically enters the REIT regime. As sucha REIT entry charge liability of £33.0 million, based on the market value of the acquired property at 1 November 2010, isrecognised in trade and other payables and the deferred tax position is revised to reflect the changed tax position resultingin a reduction in the deferred tax liability of £343.8 million.

(d) As part of the Revised Acquisition the shareholders of the Trafford Centre Group will subscribe £67.4 million forConsideration Shares and Convertible Bonds which is reflected as an increase in cash.

(e) Acquisition and advisory costs of £19.0 million are reflected as a movement in cash.

(f) Reclassification of £5.0 million of investments held by Group to eliminate against borrowings of the Trafford CentreGroup.

(g) Acquisition accounting adjustments would be required when reflecting the acquisition in the Group financial statementsunder IFRS. No estimation has been made of the fair value adjustments that would be required at the date of acquisitionas these are dependent upon values at that date. Consideration consists in effect of 155.0 million Consideration Sharesand £127.6 million Convertible Bonds. The fair value of the shares issued as consideration will be calculated foracquisition accounting purposes based on the share price at the date the acquisition completes. An estimation of the fairvalue of the shares issued as consideration has been made using 400 pence per share based on the terms of the RevisedAcquisition as detailed in Appendix 3. The difference between the consideration and the net assets of the Trafford CentreGroup results in goodwill of £10.8 million that would be recognised on the balance sheet and is calculated as follows:

(8) The unadjusted diluted number of shares represents the Group’s issued share capital at 30 June 2010 adjusted for treasuryshares and those held in the ESOP, diluted for the effects of unexercised share options and convertible bonds. This number ofshares is further adjusted for the effects of the transaction, including the issue of Consideration Shares, the dilution impact ofthe Convertible Bonds issued as consideration, and the issue of the Placing Shares.

(a) the Revised Acquisition terms which have resulted in the nominal value of the Convertible Bonds being issued reducingfrom £177.2 million to £127.6 million and the cash from the subscription from Consideration Shares and ConvertibleBonds reducing by £7.0 million.

(b) investment and development property valuations as at 31 December 2010 for the Group and updated estimatedacquisition and advisory costs. Group investment and development property has increased by £102.5 million since the1 November valuations while estimated acquisition and advisory costs have increased by £14.0 million.

Taking together the valuation reports of DTZ, CBRE and Knight Frank included at this Schedule 3 andapplying the appropriate indicated percentage share of the Group’s interest in the jointly held properties,gives a value for the Group’s property portfolio as at 31 December 2010 of £5.1 billion.

The most significant reason as to why there is a difference between the total of the Valuation Reports asindicated in the table at paragraph 4 below of £5.35 billion and the above table showing the Group’smarket value of investment properties of £5.1 billion relates to the valuation of joint venture interests.

9 Basis of valuation

9.1 Market Value

The value of each of the Properties has been assessed in accordance with the relevant parts of the currentRICS Valuation Standards. In particular, we have assessed Market Value in accordance with PS 3.2. Underthese provisions, the term ‘‘Market Value’’ means ‘‘The estimated amount for which a property shouldexchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-lengthtransaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently andwithout compulsion’’.

In undertaking our valuations on the basis of Market Value we have applied the conceptual frameworkwhich has been settled by the International Valuation Standards Committee and which is included inPS 3.2.

9.2 Taxation and costs

We have not made any adjustments to reflect any liability to taxation that may arise on disposal, nor for anycosts associated with a disposal of the respective legal interests in the Property by the owner. No allowancehas been made to reflect any liability to repay any government or other grants or taxation allowance thatmay arise on disposal.

We have made deductions to reflect an assessment of purchaser’s acquisition costs where appropriateincluding Stamp Duty at 4%, having regard to the size and value of the asset.

10 VAT

We have been advised by the Company that, with the exception of 1 Old Eldon Square, Newcastle,elections have been made for the Properties to be subject to VAT.

The Market Values contained in this report are, therefore, quoted net of VAT.

11 Assumptions and sources of information

In undertaking our valuation, we have made a number of Assumptions and have relied on certain sourcesof information. An Assumption is referred to in the Glossary to the Red Book as a ‘‘supposition taken tobe true’’. Assumptions are facts, conditions or situations affecting the subject of, or approach to, avaluation that, by agreement, need not be verified by a valuer as part of the valuation process.

Where appropriate, the Company has confirmed that our Assumptions are correct so far as they are aware.In the event that any of these Assumptions prove to be incorrect then our valuations should be reviewed.The Assumptions we have made for the purposes of our valuations are referred to below:

11.1 Title

We have relied on the Certificates of Title, which were prepared by the Company’s solicitors (the‘‘Certificates of Title’’). We have reflected the contents of the Certificates of Title in our valuations. It isstated in the Certificates of Title that the Company is possessed of good and marketable freehold orleasehold titles as appropriate in each case.

Except as disclosed by the Certificates of Title, we have made an Assumption that the Properties are freefrom rights of way or easements, restrictive covenants, or onerous or unusual outgoings. We have alsomade an Assumption that the Properties are free from mortgages, charges or other encumbrances.

11.2 Condition of structure and services, deleterious materials, plant and machinery and goodwill

Due regard has been paid to the apparent state of repair and condition of the Properties, but as instructedcondition surveys have not been undertaken, nor have woodwork or other parts of the structures which arecovered, unexposed or inaccessible, been inspected. Therefore, we are unable to report that the Propertiesare structurally sound or are free from any defects. We have made an Assumption that the Properties arefree from any rot, infestation, adverse toxic chemical treatments, and structural or design defects otherthan such as may have been mentioned in the Schedule.

18

Page 19: 23NOV201020413906 · You will find set out at the end of this letter the Notice of Adjourned EGM convening the adjourned general meeting of the Company for 4.00 p.m. on 26 January

We have not arranged for investigations to be made to determine whether high alumina cement concrete,calcium chloride additive or any other deleterious material have been used in construction or anyalterations and therefore we cannot confirm that the Properties are free from risk in this regard. For thepurposes of these valuations, we have made an Assumption that any investigation would not reveal thepresence of such materials in any adverse condition.

We have not carried out an asbestos inspection and have not acted as an asbestos inspector in completingthe valuation inspection of the Properties. We have not made an enquiry of the duty holder (as defined inthe Control of Asbestos of Work Regulations 2002), of the existence of an Asbestos Register or of any planfor the management of asbestos to be made. Where relevant, we have made an Assumption that there is aduty holder, as defined in the Control of Asbestos of Work Regulations 2002 and that a Register ofAsbestos and Effective Management Plan is in place, which does not require any immediate expenditure,or pose a significant risk to health, or breach the HSE regulations. We advise that such enquiries beundertaken by a lawyer during normal pre-contract or pre-loan enquiries.

No mining, geological or other investigations have been undertaken to certify that the sites are free fromany defect as to foundations. We have made an Assumption that the load bearing qualities of the site ofeach property are sufficient to support the buildings constructed thereon. We have also made anAssumption that there are no abnormal ground conditions, nor archaeological remains present on any ofthe sites, which might adversely affect the present or future occupation, development or value of eachproperty.

No tests have been carried out as to electrical, electronic, heating, plant and machinery, equipment or anyother services nor have the drains been tested. However, we have made an Assumption that all services,including gas, water, electricity and sewerage, are provided and are functioning satisfactorily.

No allowance has been made in these valuations for any items of plant or machinery not forming part ofthe service installations of the buildings. We have specifically excluded all items of plant, machinery andequipment installed wholly or primarily in connection with the occupants’ businesses. We have alsoexcluded furniture and furnishings, fixtures, fittings, vehicles, stock and loose tools.

Further, no account has been taken in our valuations of any business goodwill that may arise from thepresent occupation of any of the Properties.

It is a condition of DTZ or any related company, or any qualified employee, providing advice and opinionsas to value, that the client and/or third parties (whether notified to us or not) accept that the ValuationReport in no way relates to, or gives warranties as to, the condition of the structure, foundations, soil andservices of any of the Properties.

We have been advised by the Company that construction and design warranties exist in relation toChapelfield, Norwich and the Chimes, Uxbridge. The Company has confirmed that it has the legal benefitof these warranties and that they are assignable to purchasers.

11.3 Environmental matters

We have made enquiries of the Company in order, so far as reasonably possible, to establish the risk offlooding at the Properties and the potential existence of contamination arising out of previous or presentuses of the site and any adjoining sites.

We have examined, in respect of the valuations carried out as at 28 February 1994 and reported under aReport dated 16 March 1994, an environmental review report prepared by Parkman Environment inJanuary 1994 in respect of Lakeside, Thurrock and updated by an environmental review report prepared in2004. We were also provided with copies of environmental desk review reports undertaken byMessrs Travers Morgan in January and February 1994 in respect of the remaining properties, except theoffice building at 1 Eldon Square, Newcastle, Braehead and the Chimes.

In addition, we have also been provided with a Building and Environmental Due Diligence Reportprepared by Waterman Partnership Ltd and dated March 2005 for Braehead and the Harlequin Centre; anEnvironmental Due Diligence Report, prepared by Waterman Environmental and dated February 2007 inrelation to the Potteries and an Environmental Phase 1 Property Due Diligence Assessment, prepared byWaterman Environmental dated July 2007 in relation to 41a, 43-45, 55, 63-67 and 73-75 High Street,Watford.

We have reflected the contents of all of these environmental reports and reviews in our valuations.

Page 20: 23NOV201020413906 · You will find set out at the end of this letter the Notice of Adjourned EGM convening the adjourned general meeting of the Company for 4.00 p.m. on 26 January

In accordance with our inquiries of the Company and the contents of the above mentioned reports, wehave made an Assumption that no contamination or other adverse environmental matters exist in relationto the Properties sufficient to affect value. Other than as referred to above, we have not made anyinvestigations into past or present uses, either of the Property or any neighbouring land to establishwhether there is any contamination or potential for contamination to the Properties. Commensurate withour Assumptions set out above we have made no allowance in this valuation for any effect in respect ofactual or potential contamination of land or buildings. A purchaser in the market might, in practice,undertake further investigations than those undertaken by us. If it is subsequently established thatcontamination exists at the Properties or on any neighbouring land or that any of the premises have been,or are being, put to any contaminative use then this might reduce the values now reported.

Flooding

We have made enquiries of the Environment Agency website and are advised that the Properties falloutside the extent of the extreme flood. This is categorised as being a chance of flooding equivalent to0.1% (1 in 1,000) or less.

Albeit, we have made the Assumption that building insurance is in place regarding flooding and availableto be renewed to the current or any subsequent owners of the Properties, without payment of an excessivepremium or excess.

You should be aware that the Association of British Insurers have issued guidance on insurance issues inwhich they state that, subject to Government commitment to have a long-term strategy to manage floodrisk, insurers have committed to provide flood insurance for existing building until June 2013; however, nocommitments have been made for building built after 1 January 2009.

11.4 Areas

The Company has provided us with details of floor areas in relation to each property. In addition, we havetaken check measurements on site at each Centre and have satisfied ourselves that the floor areas providedare in accordance with the current Code of Measuring Practice prepared by the Royal Institution ofChartered Surveyors and may be validly adopted for the purposes of this valuation.

11.5 Statutory requirements and planning

Unless stated to the contrary in the Certificates of Title, or where we have been otherwise advised by theCompany, we have made an Assumption that the buildings have been constructed in full compliance withvalid town planning and building regulations approvals, that where necessary they have the benefit ofcurrent Fire Risk Assessments compliant with the requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety)Order 2005. Similarly, we have also made an Assumption that the properties are not subject to anyoutstanding statutory notices as to their construction, use or occupation. Unless our enquiries haverevealed the contrary, we have made a further Assumption that the existing uses of the properties are dulyauthorised or established and that no adverse planning conditions or restrictions apply.

No allowances have been made for rights, obligations or liabilities arising under the Defective PremisesAct 1972, and we have made an Assumption that the properties comply with all relevant statutoryrequirements.

In England and Wales, the Government has implemented the Energy Performance of Buildings Directiverequiring Energy Performance Certificates (‘‘EPC’’) to be made available for all properties, when boughtor sold, subject to certain exemptions. In respect of any of the subject properties which are not exemptfrom the requirements of this Directive, we have made an Assumption that an EPC is made available, freeof charge, to the purchasers of the interests which are the subject of our valuation.

We would draw your attention to the fact that employees of town planning departments now always giveinformation on the basis that it should not be relied upon and that formal searches should be made if morecertain information is required. We assume that, if you should need to rely upon the information givenabout town planning matters, your solicitors would be instructed to institute such formal searches.

11.6 Leasing

The Company has provided us with details relating to the terms of existing occupational tenancies anduses. We have read all of the documents provided to us and we have made an Assumption that copies of allrelevant documents have been sent to us and that they are complete and up to date.

We have not undertaken investigations into the financial strength of any of the tenants. Unless we havebecome aware by general knowledge, or we have been specifically advised to the contrary we have made anAssumption that the tenants are financially in a position to meet their obligations. Unless otherwiseadvised we have also made an Assumption that there are no material arrears of rent or service charges,breaches of covenants, current or anticipated tenant disputes.

However, our valuations reflect the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting leasecommitments, or likely to be in occupation, and the market’s general perception of their creditworthiness.

We have made an Assumption that wherever rent reviews or lease renewals are pending or impending,with anticipated reversionary increases, all notices have been served validly within the appropriate timelimits.

11.7 Information

We have made an Assumption that the information the Company and its professional advisers havesupplied to us in respect of the properties is both full and correct.

It follows that we have made an Assumption that details of all matters likely to affect value within your/their collective knowledge such as prospective lettings, rent reviews, outstanding requirements underlegislation and planning decisions have been made available to us and that the information is up to date.

SCOPE OF WORK AND SOURCES OF INFORMATION

Sources of Information We have carried out our work based upon information suppliedto us by CSC, as set out within this Valuation Report, which wehave assumed to be correct and comprehensive.

The Properties Our Valuation Report contains a brief summary of the Propertydetails on which our valuation has been based.

Inspections We inspected the Properties in November 2010.

Areas We have not measured the Properties but have relied upon thefloor areas provided which we have been informed have beenmeasured in compliance with the current edition of the Code ofMeasuring Practice issued by the RICS.

Environmental Matters We have not undertaken, nor are we aware of the content of, anyenvironmental audit or other environmental investigation or soilsurvey which may have been carried out on the Properties andwhich may draw attention to any contamination or the possibilityof any such contamination. We have not carried out anyinvestigations into the past or present uses of the Properties, norof any neighbouring land, in order to establish whether there isany potential for contamination and have therefore assumedthat none exists.

We have assumed that the Properties possess current EnergyPerformance Certificates (EPCs) as required under theGovernment’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.

Repair and Condition We have not carried out building surveys, tested services, madeindependent site investigations, inspected woodwork, exposedparts of the structure which were covered, unexposed orinaccessible, nor arranged for any investigations to be carriedout to determine whether or not any deleterious or hazardousmaterials or techniques have been used, or are present, in anypart of the Properties. We are unable, therefore, to give anyassurance that the Properties are free from defect.

Town Planning We have not undertaken planning enquiries.

Titles, Tenures and Lettings Details of title/tenure under which the Properties are held andof lettings to which they are subject are as supplied to us. Wehave not generally examined nor had access to all the deeds,leases or other documents relating to the Properties. Whereinformation from deeds, leases or other documents is recordedin this Valuation Report, it represents our understanding of therelevant documents. We have not conducted credit enquiries onthe financial status of any tenants. We have, however, reflectedour general understanding of purchasers’ likely perceptions ofthe financial status of tenants.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Capital Values Each valuation has been prepared on the basis of ‘‘MarketValue’’ which is defined as:

‘‘The estimated amount for which a property should exchangeon the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willingseller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketingwherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudentlyand without compulsion’’.

No account has been taken of any inter-company leases orarrangements, nor of any mortgages, debentures or othercharges.

No account has been taken of the availability or otherwise ofcapital based Government or European Community grants.

Rental Values Rental values indicated in our Valuation Report are those whichhave been adopted by us as appropriate in assessing the capitalvalue and are not necessarily appropriate for other purposes,nor do they necessarily accord with the definition of MarketRent.

(a) the Properties are not contaminated and are not adverselyaffected by any existing or proposed environmental law;

(b) any processes which are carried out on the Properties whichare regulated by environmental legislation are properlylicensed by the appropriate authorities.

High voltage electrical supply equipment may exist within, or inclose proximity of, the Properties. The National RadiologicalProtection Board (NRPB) has advised that there may be a risk,in specified circumstances, to the health of certain categories ofpeople. Public perception may, therefore, affect marketabilityand future value of the property. Our valuation reflects ourcurrent understanding of the market and we have not made adiscount to reflect the presence of this equipment.

Repair and Condition There has historically been differential ground settlement in partof the Metrocentre, Gateshead, which has been subsequentlyunderpinned and remedied but continues to be monitored. As aprovision, against any potential future insurance claim, we havemade an allowance of £1,220,000 in our valuation of theproperty to cover any insurance excess. In the absence of anyinformation to the contrary, we have assumed that:

We have otherwise had regard to the age and apparent generalcondition of the Properties. Comments made in the propertydetails do not purport to express an opinion about, or adviseupon, the condition of uninspected parts and should not betaken as making an implied representation or statement aboutsuch parts.

(j) where more than 50 per cent, of the floor space of aproperty is in residential use, the Landlord and Tenant Act1987 (the ‘‘Act’’) gives certain rights to defined residentialtenants to acquire the freehold/head leasehold interest inthe property. Where this is applicable, we have assumedthat necessary notices have been given to the residentialtenants under the provisions of the Act, and that suchtenants have elected not to acquire the freehold/headleasehold interest.

PS1.5 having sufficient knowledge of the particular market and the skills and understanding toundertake the valuation competently. Valuations based on Market Value adopt the definition and theconceptual framework settled by the International Valuation Standards Committee. ‘‘Market Value’’is defined for these purposes as:

‘‘The estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willingbuyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties hadeach acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.’’

3.3 Properties held as Trading Stock are valued on the basis of Realisable Value defined as

‘‘the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs completion and theestimated cost necessary to make the sale (IAS2 paragraph 6)’’

3.4 The total valuation of the Properties represents the aggregate of the individual values.

3.5 The major construction works at the Properties have been completed and the Properties are held asInvestments with the exception of The Hayes Apartments which are held for sale and thereforecategorised as Trading Property. In respect of any parts of the Properties where any further workremains to be completed or the payment of development costs has not been finalised, the MarketValue reflects our opinion of value of the completed property assuming that it had been completed atthe date of the valuation, less the anticipated costs outstanding. In arriving at our valuation it is thusassumed that all contracts and similar agreements with contractors continue and that all usualguarantees and warranties would be available to a purchaser of the property.

4.0 Tenure and Tenancies

4.1 We have not read documents of title or leases and, for the purpose of our valuations, have acceptedthe details of tenure, tenancies, planning consents and all other relevant information with which wehave been supplied by the Company and the Partnership or its advisors. We assume that thisinformation is complete and correct. Save where matters have been specifically drawn to ourattention, or we have been notified to the contrary prior to the date of this report, our valuation wason the basis that:

(a) each property possessed a good and marketable title, free from any unusually onerousrestrictions, covenants or other encumbrances;

(b) all documentation has been satisfactorily drawn on institutionally acceptable terms;

(c) there are no unusual outgoings, planning proposals, onerous restrictions or local authorityintentions which affect any property nor any material litigation pending;

(d) in respect of leasehold properties, there were no unreasonable or unusual clauses which wouldaffect value and no unusual restrictions or conditions governing the assignment or disposal ofthe interest;

(e) leases to which the properties were subject were on full repairing and insuring terms andcontained no unusual or onerous provisions or covenants which would affect value and wherethe repairing terms were subject to schedules of condition, these would not have materiallyaffected Market Value;

(f) in respect of leases subject to impending or outstanding rent reviews and lease renewals, wehave assumed that all notices had been served validly and within appropriate time limits; and

(g) vacant possession could be given of all accommodation which was un-let.

5.0 Town Planning

5.1 We have not made formal searches in respect of the Properties, but generally relied upon verbalenquiries and any informal information received from the Local Planning Authority, together withinformation supplied by the Company. We have not seen planning consents and, except whereadvised to the contrary, have assumed that the Properties have been constructed, or are beingconstructed and are occupied and used in accordance with the appropriate consents and that thereare no outstanding statutory notices, consent or other statutory regulations, save to the extentdisclosed to us. We assume that the premises comply with all relevant statutory requirementsincluding fire and building.

6.0 Structure and Condition

6.1 We have neither carried out a building, structural and ground condition survey of any of theProperties, nor tested any services, plant or machinery. We were not therefore able to give anyopinion on the condition of the structure and services. However, our valuation took into account anyinformation supplied to us and any defects noted during our inspections. Otherwise, our valuationwas on the basis that there were no defects, items of disrepair or other matters that would materiallyaffect our valuation.

6.2 For the purposes of the valuation we assumed that, where appropriate, suitable action had beentaken to ensure compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 in respect of the Properties.

6.3 Our valuation assumes that all Properties would, in all respects, be insurable against usual risksincluding terrorism, flooding and rising water table at normal, commercially acceptable premiums.

7.0 Site Condition and Environmental Matters

7.1 We have not investigated ground conditions. Unless advised to the contrary, our valuation was on thebasis that there are no unidentified adverse ground or soil conditions and that the load bearingqualities of the sites of each property are sufficient to support the building constructed thereon andthat all buildings had been constructed having appropriate regard to existing ground conditions.

7.2 We have not carried out any scientific investigations or tests to establish the existence or otherwise ofany environmental contamination in relation to the Properties, nor do we undertake searches ofpublic archives to seek evidence of past activities which might identify potential for contamination.Any environmental reviews which have been carried out by or on behalf of the Company or thePartnership have not, we understand, led the Directors to believe that there are any significantpotential environmental problems affecting the Properties. Save as disclosed by any environmentalreports provided to us or otherwise disclosed by the Company, we have assumed that the Propertiesare unaffected by any environmental problems.

8.0 Inspections

8.1 We have previously inspected the Properties regularly for quarterly valuation purposes, and mostrecently, for the purposes of this valuation, in October 2010.

9.0 Information

9.1 Our valuations were based upon the information (including in relation to tenants and tenancies,tenure and floor areas and costs remaining in respect of completed development and refurbishmentworks) with which we had been supplied by the Partnership or which we had obtained from ourenquiries. We relied upon this as being complete and correct and on there being no undisclosedmatters which would affect our valuation.

9.2 In respect of the St David’s 2 development and the refurbishment works undertaken to the St David’sshopping centre, we have for the purposes of our valuation been supplied by the Partnership withdetails of the estimated outstanding costs as at 30 November 2010 totalling some £48,300,000 inrespect of all construction, operating and marketing costs including committed and budgeted capitalleasing costs and our valuation makes allowance for this, together with additional capital items.

9.3 When considering the covenant strength of individual tenants we did not receive any formal reporton the financial status of any tenant and did not carry out detailed investigations as to the financialstanding of the tenants, but have liaised with the Partnership and reflected in our valuations ourgeneral understanding of purchasers’ likely perceptions of tenants’ financial status.

9.4 We have assumed, except where otherwise informed by the Company, that in all cases there are nosignificant arrears of payment and that the tenants are capable of meeting their obligations under theterms of leases and agreements.

10.0 Taxation and Costs

10.1 In accordance with market practice, we have deducted usual purchaser’s costs in arriving at ouropinions of Market Value, including full liability for UK stamp duty land tax as applicable at thevaluation date. No allowances were made for vendor’s expenses of realisation or for any taxationliability arising from the sale of any Property. Our valuations were exclusive of any VAT that maybecome chargeable. The Properties were valued disregarding any mortgages or other charges.

11.0 Valuation of the Properties as at 31 December 2010

11.1 Having regard to the foregoing we are of the opinion that the aggregate of the Market Values of theInvestment Properties and Realisable Value of the Trading Properties held by the Partnership, as at31 December 2010, totalled £513,000,000 (Five Hundred and Thirteen Million Pounds).

11.2 We attach at Appendix 2 brief descriptions of the Properties, terms of tenure and main tenanciestogether with the Net Annual Rent where applicable.

Net Annual Rent is defined within the FSA’s handbook as:

‘‘The current income or income estimated by the valuer:

(a) ignoring any special receipts or deductions arising from the property;

(b) excluding Value Added Tax and before taxation (including tax on profits and any allowances forinterest on capital or loans); and

(c) after making deductions for superior rents (but not for amortisation) and any disbursementsincluding, if appropriate, expenses of managing the property and allowances to maintain it in acondition to command its rent.’’

The total of current Net Annual Rent receivable is estimated at £19,745,000 (Nineteen Million, SevenHundred and Forty Five Thousand Pounds) per annum at 31 December 2010.

11.3 In our opinion there has been no material change to the values of the Properties since 31 December2010.

12.0 The Properties—Tenure and Categorisation

12.1 The valuation of the Properties allocated by Tenure is shown in the table at Appendix 1. Where thePartnership’s holding is comprised of mixed tenure, the valuation has been apportioned between therespective categories of tenure having regard to the interests held.

12.2 The Properties are categorised by the Company as Investment Properties and Trading Properties inthe case of the The Hayes residential apartments.

13.0 Confidentiality and Disclosure

13.1 We confirm that Knight Frank LLP is appointed by the St Davids Limited Partnership as ExternalValuer, as defined in the RICS Valuation Standards. Knight Frank LLP has continuously fulfilled thisrole since the Partnership was formed, beginning with a valuation in December 2006. Prior to thatKnight Frank LLP had previously undertaken valuations and provided advice to Land Securities Plcin respect of some holdings now included within the Partnership’s assets. We further confirm that, inrelation to Knight Frank LLP’s preceding financial year, the proportion of the total fees paid by theCompany to the total fee income of Knight Frank LLP was less than 5%. We recognise and supportthe RICS Rules of Conduct and have established procedures for identifying conflicts of interest.

13.2 This report may be required to be included in the Letter.

13.3 To the fullest extent permitted by law we do not assume any responsibility and will not accept anyliability to any other person for any loss suffered by any such other person as a result of, arising outof, or in accordance with this report.

For CREST Members Only

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies by utilising the CREST electronic proxyappointment service may do so for the Adjourned EGM to be held at 4.00 p.m. on 26 January 2011 and anyadjournment(s) thereof by utilising the procedures described in the CREST Manual. CREST PersonalMembers or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a votingservice provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able totake the appropriate action on their behalf. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made by meansof CREST to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a ‘‘CREST Proxy Instruction’’) must be properlyauthenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland’s (EUI) specifications and must contain theinformation required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual (available viawww.euroclear.com/CREST). The message, regardless of whether it relates to the appointment of a proxyor to an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, betransmitted so as to be received by the issuer agent (ID RA10) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxyappointments specified in this notice of meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to bethe time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) fromwhich the company’s agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribedby CREST. After this time any change of instructions to a proxy appointed through CREST should becommunicated to it by other means. CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors orvoting service providers should note that EUI does not make available special procedures in CREST forany particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will therefore apply in relation to the inputof CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if theCREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting serviceprovider(s)), to procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s) such action as shallbe necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time.In this connection, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting serviceproviders are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practicallimitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out inRegulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
