1 April 2008

Land Securities Group PLC Board Changes

Appointment of Sir Christopher Bland, Rick Haythornthwaite and Kevin O'Byrne as
non-executive Directors.

Sir Win Bischoff steps down as a non-executive Director.


Land Securities Group PLC announces the appointment of three new non-executive
directors from today as the company continues its plans to demerge into three
separate companies.

Sir Christopher Bland joins the Land Securities Group Board as a non-executive
director and will assume the role of Chairman of Trillium in the run up to its
demerger and subsequently. His role on the Board of Land Securities Group PLC
will continue until the time of demerger or sale of Trillium. Sir Christopher
Bland's recent roles include Chairman of BT and also Chairman of the Board of
Governors at the BBC.

Rick Haythornthwaite also joins the Board of Land Securities Group PLC as a
non-executive director and will assume the role of Chairman of the Retail
business following demerger. Rick Haythornthwaite is currently Chairman of
Mastercard Inc, Chairman of the Risk and Regulation Advisory Council and
partner at Star Capital Partners Ltd. His previous roles include Chief
Executive of Blue Circle Industries and Invensys and non-executive director of
ICI.

Kevin O'Byrne also joins the Board of Land Securities Group PLC. Kevin O'Byrne
has been Group Finance Director of DSG International PLC since 2004 and was
previously Chief Financial Officer for Hemscott Publishing Group and European
Finance Director for The Quaker Oats Company.

Paul Myners will assume the role of Chairman of the London business at
demerger.

Commenting on the new appointments to the Board, Mr Myners said:

"All three appointments are excellent additions to the Board both for our
business today and for our planned demerger. Each business will be of a scale
to be at the forefront of their sectors and these appointments are a testament
to the strength of the businesses and our confidence in the success they will
have as independent companies.

"These appointments demonstrate that we are making progress on our demerger
plans and mean that when these companies become independent businesses, they
will have the right balance of experience, energy and expertise on their Boards
to make an immediate impact."

Land Securities also announces that Sir Win Bischoff has today stepped down
from his role as a non-executive director of the company, recognising the
greater demands on his time since becoming Chairman of Citigroup Inc. Sir Win
joined the Land Securities Board in November 1999. He chaired the Remuneration
Committee and also served on the Audit Committee.

Mr Myners said:

"Sir Win has made a major contribution to Land Securities. His tenure on the
Board coincided with a period of significant growth for the business as it
evolved into a focused, modern commercial property company. With his unrivalled
breadth of business experience, Sir Win has provided his input and support at
every stage of this successful journey over a period of almost nine years. I
would like to thank him for his contribution and sage counsel."

This announcement on current and future Board changes demonstrates that Land
Securities continues its preparations for demerger. However, Land Securities is
not providing further guidance on the timing of when the Group will demerge
into three separate businesses. Final execution of the plan will take place
when preparatory work has been completed and when market conditions are
favourable.
