Notice of General Meeting

Further to its announcement on 27 July 2017, Landsec confirms that it has successfully completed the sale of its 50% stake in 20 Fenchurch Street, EC3M to LKK Health Products Group Limited.

As previously announced, Landsec intends to return approximately £475 million of the proceeds  to shareholders in the form of a payment of 60 pence per share. Landsec will implement this return of capital through the issue and redemption of a new class of redeemable B shares which will be accompanied by a 15 for 16 share consolidation of the existing share capital of Landsec.

Landsec shareholders will shortly receive an explanatory circular, containing notice of the general meeting to be held at 3.00 p.m. on Wednesday 27 September 2017 at 80 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 5JL to allow shareholders to vote on the resolutions required to approve and implement the return of capital. The circular can be found on Landsec's website at www.landsec.com/2017-gm. The circular and form of proxy for use at the general meeting have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
