Press release

Inland ZDP PLC

Issue of 1,131,000 new ZDP Shares

For release on 23 September 2016

Issue of ZDP Shares and use of proceeds

The Board of Inland ZDP PLC ("ZDPCo") is pleased to announce the issue (the "Issue") of up to 1,131,000 new zero dividend preference shares of 10 pence each ("ZDP Shares") at a price of 139 pence each ("Issue Price"), subject to the admission of the ZDP Shares to listing on the Official List (by way of a standard listing under the Listing Rules) and to trading on London Stock Exchange plc's main market, for which applications have been made. Dealings in the ZDP Shares are expected to commence at 8.00 am on 28 September 2016 ("Admission").

The gross proceeds of the Issue are up to £1,572,090, which ZDPCo will lend to its ultimate holding company, Inland Homes PLC ("Inland"), pursuant to an interest-free secured loan note to be entered into between ZDPCo and Inland on or shortly after Admission ("New Loan Note"). The New Loan Note will be on the same terms as the loan note entered into between ZDPCo and Inland on 20 December 2012.  Inland will pay the Issue costs (estimated to be approximately £49,600) out of its own resources and will apply the proceeds of the Issue to invest in inventories or settle liabilities to vendors of development sites.

Rights of ZDP Shares

A ZDP Share is not an equity share and does not entitle the holder to any dividends, but it offers the holder a capital payment on a fixed date at a higher price than the initial subscription price, giving the holder a fixed return. The amount due to holders of ZDP Shares ("ZDP Shareholders"), which accrues over time, is accounted for as a liability rather than as share capital. ZDP Shareholders will receive no dividends, but are entitled to receive 155.9 pence per ZDP Share in just under three years and eight months' time, on 10 April 2019, when ZDPCo will be wound up in accordance with the terms of the ZDP Shares and the articles of association of the Company. This equates to a gross redemption yield on the 139p Issue Price of 4.64 per cent. per annum.

The new ZDP Shares will be identical in all respects to the zero dividend preference shares of 10 pence each of ZDPCo in issue at the date of this announcement ("Existing ZDP Shares") and, therefore, will benefit from the same security arrangements as described in the prospectus published by ZDPCo on 14 December 2012 (the "Prospectus") in respect of the issue of the Existing ZDP Shares which is available for download at http://www.inlandhomes.co.uk/inland-zdp-plc.  In summary, these security arrangements require that Inland places the gross proceeds of the Issue in the Secured Account as Pledged Cash with first priority security over that account granted to ZDPCo. Amounts may be withdrawn by Inland from the Secured Account to fund the business, and reduce the debt, of the Inland Group subject to first ranking security over Pledged Assets being granted in favour of ZDPCo with sufficient value to satisfy 120 per cent. of the accrued capital entitlement of the ZDP Shares then in issue net of Pledged Cash.

Key information about the new ZDP Shares:

The above Cover Ratio and Hurdle rates have been derived from the unaudited interim accounts of Inland Homes PLC as at 31 December 2015, calculated on the basis set out in the Prospectus, but adjusted further to reflect the increased number of ZDP Shares in issue following the Issue and the receipt of the proceeds of the Issue.

Capitalised words in this announcement and which are not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meanings as in the Prospectus unless the context otherwise requires.

Stephen Wicks, Chairman of ZDPCo, said "The Inland group is currently expanding its activities significantly and this tap issue will provide a useful addition to the capital available via the ZDP Shares"
