INTU PROPERTIES PLC

RESULTS OF RIGHTS ISSUE

22 April 2014

Intu Properties plc (the "Company") today announces that the 2 for 7 rights issue of 278,241,628
ordinary shares of 50 pence each in the share capital of the Company (the “New Shares”) at 180
pence or ZAR 32.28 per New Share (the “Rights Issue”) announced on 20 March 2014 closed for
acceptances at 11.00 a.m. (London time) on 17 April 2014. The Company received valid
acceptances in respect of 275,493,790 New Shares, representing approximately 99.0 per cent. of
the total number of New Shares offered to Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the fully
underwritten Rights Issue.

In the UK, New Shares in uncertificated form will be credited to CREST accounts as soon as
practicable after 8.00 a.m. (London time) on 22 April 2014 and definitive share certificates in
respect of New Shares in certificated form will be dispatched to Shareholders by no later than 30
April 2014. In South Africa, dematerialised shareholders will have their accounts credited with New
Shares as soon as practicable after 9.00 a.m. (Johannesburg time) on 22 April 2014 and share
certificates will be dispatched to certificated Shareholders by no later than 30 April 2014. New
Shares will commence trading fully paid on the London Stock Exchange’s main market for listed
securities and the Main Board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on 22 April 2014.

In accordance with the arrangements set out in Part X “Additional Information” of the prospectus
published by the Company dated 20 March 2014, Merrill Lynch International, HSBC Bank plc and
UBS Limited shall severally use reasonable endeavours to procure subscribers for all of the
remaining 2,747,838 New Shares not validly taken up in the Rights Issue. A further announcement
as to the number of New Shares for which subscribers have been procured will be made in due
course.

The net proceeds from the placing of such New Shares (after the deduction of the UK Issue Price
of 180 pence (or its equivalent in Rand at the time of sale, as the case may be) per New Share
and the expenses of procuring subscribers including any applicable brokerage and other
commissions and amounts attributable to value added tax and currency conversion costs, if any)
will be paid (without interest and after deducting currency conversion costs) to those persons
whose rights have lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Rights Issue, pro rata to their lapsed
provisional allotments, save that individual amounts of less than £5.00 (or the Rand equivalent on
the relevant date, as the case may be) will not be paid to such persons but will be aggregated and
paid to the Company.

A further announcement as to the number of New Shares for which subscribers have been
procured will be made in due course.
Following receipt of the valid acceptances for 275,493,790 New Shares, the Company's issued
share capital consists of 1,249,339,491 ordinary shares of 50 pence each. The Company does not
hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, as at 22 April 2014, the total number of voting
rights in the Company is 1,249,339,491. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest
in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules. As at 25 April 2014, following completion of the Rights Issue, the total number of voting
rights in the Company will be 1,252,087,329. This figure may then be used by Shareholders as the
denominator for the calculations by which they determine if they are required to notify their interest
in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency
Rules.

Capitalised terms not defined herein are defined at Part XII “Definitions” of the prospectus
published by the Company dated 20 March 2014.
