Quarterly Mall Fund Valuation

Capital & Regional plc ('C&R') today announces that the Mall property valuation and unit value as at 31 March 2013 were as follows: 

Fund	Valuation of    properties	Underlying valuation change in period 1	Change in unit value (geared) in period	Net initial yield	Unit value at 31 March  2013	Unit value at 31 December  2012	C&R percentage of fund 2
The Mall Fund	£838,950,000	(1.6)%	(1.9)%	6.98%	£0.3815	£0.3890	20.3%

¹   The underlying valuation change shows the like for like decrease in the value of the portfolio in the quarter as a percentage of the value of the portfolio at the beginning of the period.

²   At 31 March 2013 Capital & Regional owned 191,623,116 units in The Mall fund.

Investment yields have remained stable since the year end. The valuation decrease over the first quarter was driven by a fall in income post year end largely resulting from tenant administrations as reported in the 2012 results announcement in March.

Commenting on the valuation Hugh Scott-Barrett said:

"We expect the improving investment climate and the re-letting of space arising from the first quarter administrations to be supportive of valuations in the rest of the year"

A further update on current trading will be provided in our IMS which will be issued on 16 May 2013.
