CONFIRMATION OF DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE AND OFFER OF SCRIP DIVIDEND ALTERNATIVE
TO THE CASH 2014 INTERIM DIVIDEND

On 31 July 2014, the Directors proposed an interim dividend for 2014 of 4.6 pence per share (the
“Dividend”). We are pleased to announce that the Dividend will be paid on 25 November 2014. 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
that 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 2.3 pence
        being paid as a PID and 2.3 pence as a non-PID. The non-PID element will be treated as an
        ordinary UK company dividend

Shareholders will receive the Dividend in cash unless they elect to receive shares instead. 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 alternative to the Dividend will be posted to certificated shareholders as soon
as practicable. Further forms for certificated shareholders are available from our Registrars:
