UPDATED PLANNING AT FORMER CALTONGATE AND NEW APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER

PLANNING APPROVED FOR EDINBURGH DEVELOPMENT
Shareholders are advised that the City of Edinburgh Council has approved, at a meeting on Wednesday
29 January 2014, the detailed plans for the development of the former Caltongate site. The city centre site links
the capital’s New Street/East Market Street area and Waverley Station with the historic Royal Mile. It is now set
to be transformed into a new pedestrian-friendly urban centre mixing open public spaces with independent
retailers, restaurants, hotels and leisure offerings - as well as new homes and offices.


NEW APPOINTMENT
Shareholders are also advised that Jonathan Knight has been appointed as Chief Investment Officer* of the
Company with effect from Friday 24 January 2014. Jonathan has over 25 years experience in the real estate
industry, most recently as a director at ING Bank in London and Amsterdam working on various European and
global real estate projects.


Jonathan brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. The Board is confident that with his qualifications and
experience Jonathan will make a valuable contribution to MAS.

MAS has its primary listing on the Euro MTF market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and a secondary listing
on the Alternative Exchange of the JSE.


This announcement is voluntary and is for information purposes only.
