British Land: Notice of revised dates for full year 2020 results and AGM

29 April 2020

The British Land Company PLC ("the Company") announces a revised date for the publication of its preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2020. Results will now be published on 27 May 2020, two weeks later than the previously planned date of 13 May. This follows recent guidance from the FCA on corporate reporting timetables in light of covid-19, and will allow the Company and its auditors, PwC, sufficient time to complete the process of preparing and reviewing the results, given the practical challenges of remote working.

The Company will hold a conference call presentation and Q&A session on the morning of 27 May, details of which will be circulated ahead of the event.

This will also result in a revised date of the Company's 2020 AGM, which will now be held on 29 July, two weeks later than originally planned.  Further details of the AGM arrangements will be published in due course.

About British Land  

Our portfolio of high quality UK commercial property is focused on London Offices and Retail around the UK.  We own or manage a portfolio valued at £15.4bn (British Land share: £11.7bn) as at 30 September 2019 making us one of Europe's largest listed real estate investment companies.

Our strategy is to provide places which meet the needs of our customers and respond to changing lifestyles - Places People Prefer.  We do this by creating great environments both inside and outside our buildings and use our scale and placemaking skills to enhance and enliven them.  This expands their appeal to a broader range of occupiers, creating enduring demand and driving sustainable, long term performance.

Our Offices portfolio comprises three office-led campuses in central London as well as high quality standalone buildings and accounts for 55% of our portfolio.  Our Retail portfolio is focused on Regional and Local multi-let centres, and accounts for 41% of our portfolio.  Increasingly our focus is on providing a mix of uses and this is most evident at Canada Water, our 53 acre redevelopment opportunity where we have plans to create a new neighbourhood for London.

Sustainability is embedded throughout our business. Our places, which are designed to meet high sustainability standards, become part of local communities, provide opportunities for skills development and employment and promote wellbeing.  In April 2016 British Land received the Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development, the UK's highest accolade for business success for economic, social and environmental achievements over a period of five years.
