TRANSACTION

Intu Properties plc (“Intu”) today announces the launch of £110m additional class A, B
and D notes (“New Notes”) under the Trafford Centre Finance Limited Commercial
Mortgaged-backed Securities transaction (“intu Trafford CMBS”) established in 2000.
The proceeds will be used to provide funds for Intu’s pipeline of active management
projects and major extensions.

The New Notes will be secured by intu Trafford Centre, the prime super-regional
shopping centre near Manchester. The Notes will rank pari passu with the current
outstanding class A, B and D notes (“Existing Notes”) and will have an average maturity
of nine years. It is expected that the New Notes will obtain an investment grade rating.

As at 31 December 2013 the assets secured under the intu Trafford CMBS were valued
at £1,821m implying a loan to value of c.45% after the issuance of the New Notes. As at
31 December 2013 the combined intu Trafford Centre and adjoining property outside the
collateral pool was valued at £1,900m (30 June 2013 - £1,850m).

Credit Suisse and Lloyds Bank will be acting as joint bookrunners on the proposed bond
issuance. The New Notes are expected to be listed on the London Stock Exchange.

a 32 per cent interest in Prozone, an Indian shopping centre developer, and a joint venture in Spain for
predevelopment activity on three major sites under option, in Malaga, Valencia and Vigo. In October 2013 Intu
