INTU PROPERTIES PLC (the “Company”)
CONFIRMATION OF DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE AND OFFER OF SCRIP
DIVIDEND ALTERNATIVE TO THE CASH 2014 FINAL DIVIDEND

On 27 February 2015, the Directors proposed a final dividend for 2014 of 9.1 pence
per share (the “Dividend”). We are pleased to announce that the Dividend will be paid
on 28 May 2015, subject to approval of the shareholders at the Company’s AGM to
be held on 6 May 2015. A scrip dividend alternative is being offered follows:

    -   If taken in cash, the Dividend will be paid wholly 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 9.1 pence being paid as a non-PID which 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 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 1406).

Election forms for the Scrip Dividend will be posted to certificated shareholders as
soon as practicable. Further forms for certificated shareholders will be available from
27 March 2015 onwards from our Registrars:
