PRESS RELEASE

                      CAPITAL & COUNTIES PROPERTIES PLC (“Capco”)

                £150 million US Private Placement debt raised for Covent Garden

Capco announces that Capco Covent Garden Limited, the holding company for Capco’s Covent
Garden assets and a wholly owned subsidiary of Capco, has signed an agreement with five US
institutional investors for a private placement of £150 million 10 and 12 year senior unsecured notes.

The issue consists of two tranches: £75 million 3.63% Senior Notes due 2024 and £75 million 3.68%
Senior Notes due 2026. Closing and funding of the transaction will occur in December. The proceeds
will be used to repay bank debt and for general corporate purposes.

The Royal Bank of Scotland plc acted as sole placement agent for the transaction.

Soumen Das, Finance Director of Capco, commented: “We are delighted with our debut US Private
Placement issue. The transaction enhances the unsecured platform at Covent Garden which was
established earlier this year, extending the debt maturity profile and the already strong liquidity
position through a new source of long-term funding at attractive, fixed-rate coupons.”
