                                                 CAPITAL & REGIONAL PLC :

                                EXTENSION OF GROUP LOAN FACILITIES

Capital & Regional ("the Company") announces that it has now signed agreements for the extension of its Group Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") and the Morrison Merlin Loan for the Great Northern property. In its recent interim results the Company announced that extension terms had been agreed but still needed to be documented.

The new agreement provides for the RCF to be reduced to £25 million from £58 million, to reduce cost and better reflect the Group's central funding needs. The maturity of the RCF is extended to July 2016 from its previous maturity in September 2013.

The term of the Morrison Merlin loan has been extended by one year to October 2014.

Further information will be provided with the Group's Q3 Interim Management Statement in November.
