CAPITAL & COUNTIES PROPERTIES PLC ("Capco")

Response to press speculation

Capco notes the recent press speculation and confirms that it remains in discussions with the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham ("LBHF") to bring forward an enhanced masterplan for the Earls Court Opportunity Area.

An enhanced masterplan would seek to deliver an increased number of homes across all tenures throughout the wider Earls Court Opportunity Area, and could involve LBHF taking the lead on future plans for the West Kensington and Gibbs Green Estates (the "Estates").

In the event that an enhanced masterplan does not progress or agreement is not reached, the Conditional Land Sale Agreement (the "CLSA", a binding agreement in relation to the Estates) will remain in place.

Further announcements will be made in due course as appropriate.
