CLARIFICATION

4 December 2019

On 17 October 2019 Growthpoint announced its firm intention to make a partial cash offer for 219,786,924 shares in
Capital & Regional and published an offer document setting out the full terms and conditions of the Partial Offer on 
7 November 2019 (the "Offer Document"). For the avoidance of doubt, the definition of Relevant Percentage set out in
the Announcement and the Offer Document excludes Subscription Shares and the final Relevant Percentage will be
calculated and announced on the basis of the number of Capital & Regional Shares in issue (excluding the
Subscription Shares) on the Record Date. The Capital & Regional Shares subject to the Partial Offer represent
approximately 30.2 per cent. of the current issued ordinary share capital of Capital & Regional.

The percentages of Capital & Regional Shares referred to in this document are based on a figure of 727,389,117 C&R
Shares in issue on 2 December 2019. Defined terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings set
out in the Offer Document unless otherwise stated.
