The Company hereby confirms that the 3rd Interim Dividend for 2010/11 of 6.5p, as announced on 15th February 2011, will be a Property Income Distribution (PID).
The Company is also offering an unenhanced scrip alternative with this dividend. Shareholders will be able to choose between cash or shares. If a scrip mandate form has already been completed, and not withdrawn, no action needs to be taken to receive this dividend payment as shares. If a shareholder elects for the scrip alternative on this dividend, then the scrip alternative will also attract Property Income Distribution treatment.
The key dates for the dividend are detailed below and further information on the dividend and scrip alternative, including the scheme booklet and mandate form, can be obtained from the Shareholder Centre web pages within the Investor Relations section of the Company's website www.britishland.com or the Company's Registrars (Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA, 0871 384 2268, international callers +44 121 415 7593).
