INTU PROPERTIES PLC (the “Company”)
CONFIRMATION OF OFFER OF SCRIP DIVIDEND ALTERNATIVE TO THE CASH
2013 INTERIM DIVIDEND

On 1 August 2013, the Directors announced an interim dividend for 2013 of 5.0
pence per ordinary share payable on 19 November 2013 (the “Dividend”). Subject to
the terms of the scrip dividend scheme (the “Scheme”) which was approved by
shareholders at the Company’s 2012 AGM, the Directors are pleased to offer a scrip
dividend alternative for the Dividend, and the Dividend will therefore be paid as
follows:

    •   If taken in cash, the Dividend will be wholly paid as a Property Income
        Distribution (“PID”) which will be subject to deduction of a 20 per cent UK
        withholding tax unless exemptions apply
    •   Shareholders who make an election to receive shares will receive shares
        based on the full 5.0 pence dividend being paid as a non-PID. As a non-PID,
        this will be treated as an ordinary UK company dividend

Shareholders will receive the Dividend in cash unless they elect to receive
shares instead. It is intended that the Scheme be offered for all future dividends; the
Board does however reserve the right to withdraw the Scheme for any particular
dividend at its discretion. A full description of the terms of the Scheme are contained
in the Scrip Dividend Booklet which is available for viewing or download from the
Company’s website at www.intugroup.co.uk. Hard copies can be requested via the
website or by contacting the Company (email feedback@intu.co.uk or telephone +44
(0)20 7960 1236).

Election forms for the Scrip Dividend will be posted to certificated shareholders as
