Redemption of Bonds and Utilisation of Loan Facility

Following the occurrence of a change of control put event in respect of the Chinatown Bonds and the Carnaby Bonds
(together, the "Bonds"), each bondholder had the option to require the relevant issuer to redeem (or, at the relevant
issuer's option, purchase or procure the purchase of) its bonds by exercising a change of control put option by no later
than 8 April 2023.

100 per cent. of the Chinatown Bond bondholders exercised their change of control put option and the Chinatown Bonds
were redeemed in full on 17 April 2023 (the "Change of Control Put Date"). 99.9123 per cent. of the Carnaby Bond
bondholders exercised their change of control put option and 99.9123 per cent. of the Carnaby Bonds were redeemed
on the Change of Control Put Date.

On 18 April 2023, Shaftesbury Carnaby plc exercised its option to redeem the remaining outstanding Carnaby Bonds at
their nominal amount, together with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, such date being
19 May 2023.

An application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority to delist the Bonds following completion of the final
redemption.

The redemption of the Bonds has been funded in full by utilisation of the Shaftesbury Capital PLC £576 million loan
facility agreement provided by Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas SA and HSBC Bank plc dated 16 June 2022 (the
"Facility Agreement").

A summary of the Facility Agreement terms is set out in the merger prospectus dated 7 July 2022 and the Facility
Agreement is available on the Shaftesbury Capital PLC website.
