Results of Scrip dividend election

An application will be made for the scrip dividend shares to be admitted to the Premium Segment of the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority, to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities, and to be listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the "admission"). It is expected that admission will occur on Wednesday, 24 June 2020.

Following the issue of the scrip dividend shares, the total number of shares in issue and voting rights in Capital & Regional will be 111,819,626 with effect from Wednesday, 24 June 2020.  This may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Capital & Regional under the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Share certificates will be posted to certificated shareholders who elected to receive scrip dividend shares on Wednesday, 24 June 2020.
