Notices of Class Meetings and General Meeting

19 July 2018

Following consultations with certain ZDP Shareholders, the Board of Inland ZDP PLC is pleased to announce its intention to seek the approval of Shareholders for Proposals which include (i) the continuation of the life of the ZDP Shares for an additional five years to 10 April 2024, (ii) an increase in the Final Capital Entitlement, (iii) various amendments to the Loan Notes and Contribution Agreement between Inland Homes and the Company, (iv) the adoption of new Articles of Association and (v) the ratification of a previous issue of ZDP Shares. The foregoing is to be accompanied by a Tender Offer by Panmure Gordon to the holders of ZDP Shares on the register of members at close of business on 18 July 2018 and a placing.

A circular containing full information concerning the Proposals and notices of class meetings and a general meeting to approve the Proposals is being posted to ZDP Shareholders today.

The Proposals are subject to the passing of resolutions at the Class Meetings and the General Meeting. The Company has received substantial indications of support for the Proposals, including written undertakings to vote in favour of them in respect of all the Ordinary Shares and c.6.95 million ZDP Shares, representing approximately 56 per cent. of the ZDP Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement.

The Company has also received undertakings not to accept the Tender Offer in respect of c. 6.64 million ZDP Shares, representing approximately 53 per cent. of the ZDP Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement.

Words and expressions in this announcement have the meanings set out in Appendix 1.

Key points

Continuation of ZDP Shares

Tender Offer by Panmure Gordon:

ZDP Shares acquired by Panmure Gordon will be transferred to placees, subject to scaling down if the acceptances exceed the number of ZDP Shares subject to Placing Commitments. The Tender Offer is conditional, inter alia, on the Resolutions being passed at the Meetings.

Placing of ZDP Shares

Panmure Gordon may obtain further Placing Commitments.

Placing Commitments in excess of the number of ZDP Shares in respect of which the Tender Offer is accepted will be satisfied by the issue of up to 2,488,800 new ZDP Shares.

Other changes and approvals sought

If the Proposals are approved, in addition to the adoption of the New Articles to amend the ZDP Final Payment Date and the Final Capital Entitlement, changes will be made to the underlying Loans and security arrangements between the Company and Inland Homes:

· to extend the protections afforded by the Loan Notes and Contribution Agreement to the 2024 ZDP Repayment Date;

· to remove the Gearing Ratio contained in the Loan Notes;

· to incorporate the Cover Ratio covenant contained in the Articles of Association into the Loan Note conditions so that it replaces the Gearing Ratio as a restriction on incurring funding for new sites; and

· to remove wording in the conditions to the Loan Notes which is redundant, given the existence of the Security Covenant.

A second Resolution will be proposed at the General Meeting to ratify the issue of ZDP Shares in September 2016. A third resolution will be proposed at the General Meeting to grant authority to the Directors to allot relevant securities, up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £1,747,540.

Expected timetable

All of the times and dates in the expected timetable may be extended or brought forward without further notice. If any of the above times and/or dates change materially, the revised time(s) and/or date(s) will be notified to Shareholders by an announcement through a Regulatory Information Service provider.

*or as soon thereafter as the preceding Meeting concludes or is adjourned.

1. Background to the Proposals

The Inland Group has been a brownfield property regeneration specialist since its inception in 2005 and this continues to be a core activity of the Group. Inland is regularly made aware of site purchase opportunities through its established relationships with vendors and public sector bodies. By applying its expertise in resolving planning, environmental and other issues, Inland is able to take advantage of site purchase opportunities which may be less attractive to the larger housebuilding companies who generally prefer to purchase consented land or land which does not present planning and environmental challenges. The Inland Group has an excellent track record in obtaining planning consents for brownfield sites. Once the planning and remediation work has been completed, the Group either: (a) sells consented brownfield sites, comprising multiple plots, to house-builders realising significant gains for the Group; or (b) enters into partnership agreements with housing associations to develop such sites; or (c) undertakes the construction work itself.

Against the backdrop of hardening credit in 2008/9, an illiquid market for consented land and prices being depressed by forced sellers, RBS, the primary lender to the Inland Group at that time, demanded onerous terms for the continuation of its facilities. Rather than accede to those terms, the Inland Group sold sufficient assets to repay the entirety of its borrowings from RBS. To have achieved this in such adverse market conditions demonstrates the Inland Group's underlying financial strength and the quality of its tangible asset backing.

With the credit markets taking time to recover and faced with opportunities to acquire sites with development potential on favourable terms, the Group sought alternative sources of capital. It raised an initial £8.5 million through the first issue of ZDP Shares on 20 December 2012 and subsequently raised further monies through a series of tap issues of ZDP Shares at increasing prices.

At the time of the initial issue of ZDP Shares, the Inland Group's then most recent audited consolidated accounts (to 30 June 2012) showed gross assets of £65.7 million and shareholders' equity of £49.4 million. The Group's unaudited interim balance sheet as at 31 December 2017 showed gross assets of £270.7 million and shareholders' equity of £134.7 million, demonstrating significant growth of the Group over the intervening period.

The book values of property assets held as inventory in the Inland Group's financial statements are based on IFRS which use cost, less any impairment provisions. As progress is made towards winning planning consents, the increase in the value of the sites is greater than the costs incurred, resulting in the book values understating the Group's asset backing. As from December 2015, the Group adopted the performance measures of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), which quantify this added value. The December 2017 interim statement shows an EPRA valuation uplift of £58.2 million, which increases gross assets to £328.9 million. An illustration of the effect of using EPRA valuations as against IFRS valuations in the context of the Proposals is set out in paragraph 5 below.

Inland's business model has evolved since the initial ZDP Share issue in 2012. While the application of its regeneration expertise to acquire brownfield sites and win planning consents remains an important part of its business, the Group has expanded its greenfield site operations. It has increased its capacity to control greenfield sites through the use of options, which enable sites to be purchased at a discount to open market value. Greenfield sites are either sold on after planning consents have been granted or developed by the Group as part of its growing house-building operations. In the year ended 30 June 2018, the Group built and sold 275 private homes. Increasingly, the Group is working with housing associations on a partnership basis whereby it sells consented land to the association and simultaneously enters into a contract with the association for building homes on that land.

Although construction carries its own risks, the overall increase in the number of sites and the greater scale of the Inland Group's operations represents a diversification of risks compared to those to which the Inland Group was subject to in 2012.

The financing requirements of the Group have evolved to reflect its more diversified business model. Its brownfield site acquisitions provide tangible asset backing for the ZDP Shares, and the ZDP Shares represent an important source of term finance which is well aligned with the underlying development activity. For this reason the Inland Group proposes to extend the life of the ZDP Shares, which are currently due to be redeemed on 10 April 2019, and to issue more ZDP Shares for cash over time.

The working capital requirements of the Group's increased house-building activity result in short term fluctuations in borrowings, for which the Inland Group has arranged revolving credit facilities. Whilst these fluctuations are in the normal course of the business as now operated, they risk putting the Group in breach of the Gearing Ratio contained in the Loan Documentation between the Company and Inland which in turn results in a restriction on the Group acquiring new sites. The Proposals therefore include the removal of this restriction and its replacement with an enhancement to the protections afforded by the Cover Ratio. Further details are set out in paragraph 2 below.

2. The Proposals

The Proposals comprise the deferral of the Final Repayment Date for the ZDP Shares from 10 April 2019 to 10 April 2024, changes to the Loan Documentation between the Company and Inland Homes, including revised protections for ZDP Shareholders, and the ratification of a previous issue of ZDP Shares in excess of the allotment authority conferred on the Directors under the Existing Articles.

2.1 Extension of life of the ZDP Shares

The Board considers that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Inland Group to maintain the gearing afforded by the ZDP Shares after 10 April 2019 and to give ZDP Shareholders the opportunity to continue their investment for a longer period. Accordingly, the Proposals include the extension of the life of the ZDP Shares by a further five years to 10 April 2024.

If the Proposals are approved, the Final Capital Entitlement will be increased from 155.9 pence to 201.4 pence, by compounding the 2019 Final Capital Entitlement (being 155.9 pence) at an annual rate of return of 5.25 per cent. for a further five years to the 2024 ZDP Repayment Date. The change in the Final Capital Entitlement and Final Payment Date will be effected by the adoption of the New Articles.

2.2 Amendments to Loan Documentation

All proceeds of issues of ZDP Shares have been (and will be) loaned by the Company to Inland Homes on a secured basis. Additional protection for ZDP Shareholders is provided by a Contribution Agreement under which Inland Homes is required to contribute assets to the Company to the extent required to ensure that the Company is capable of satisfying its payment obligations to ZDP Shareholders on the 2019 ZDP Repayment Date. If the Proposals are approved, the Contribution Agreement will be amended to reflect the extension of the repayment date to 10 April 2024.

Additionally, the Loan Documentation and Articles contain covenants for the benefit of ZDP Shareholders including the Gearing Ratio (being Financial Indebtedness plus accrued ZDP Liability : Assets), set at 40 per cent. and the Cover Ratio (being Assets : Financial Indebtedness plus ZDP Liability as at the Final ZDP Payment Date), set at 1.8, as well as a requirement that (as at each relevant testing date) the value of the assets pledged to the Company as security for the repayment of the monies loaned by the Company to the Group and for Inland's obligations under the Contribution Agreement should not be less than 120 per cent. of the accrued ZDP Liability less any pledged cash.

It is proposed that these covenants are amended to better reflect the evolution of the Inland Group's business since 2012 and, in particular, the more flexible funding requirements associated with the housebuilding activities which it carries on alongside its continuing brownfield property development business, each as described more fully in paragraph 1 above.

The Gearing Ratio covenant described above is triggered in broadly the same circumstances as the Cover Ratio covenant, but is calculated using accrued ZDP Share values, not the Final Capital Entitlement. It is more restrictive than the Cover Ratio covenant.

As explained in more detail in paragraph 3.1 of this announcement below, the Company has the benefit of first legal charges granted by members of the Group under or pursuant to the Master Security Agreement over certain specific tangible assets and cash. Under the Security Covenant, the value of that security should be equal to at least 120 per cent. of the accrued liability to ZDP Shareholders, tested quarterly. If there is a shortfall, Inland Homes is obliged to pledge or procure the pledging by members of its Group of additional tangible assets as security within 90 days of the relevant quarterly testing date. This affords a degree of protection to ZDP Shareholders as it results in the value of first charged assets being topped up in the event of a fall in asset values.

Breach of the Gearing Ratio, which is also tested quarterly, triggers a prohibition on the financing of new site purchases, but does not prevent the Inland Group from taking on additional debt to complete and market existing developments. As explained above, the Gearing Ratio covenant could be breached due to normal short term fluctuations in the level of revolving credit facilities drawn-down to fund the Group's ordinary course housebuilding activities. The covenant may therefore have the unintended effect of limiting the site purchases on which the Inland Group relies for its longer term growth and which will, in due course, enhance the cover for the ZDP Shares.

Accordingly, if the Proposals are approved, the Gearing Ratio test will no longer apply and the restriction on taking on funding for new site purchases will instead be triggered if the Cover Ratio is less than 1.8 times on any covenant testing date, subject to a carve out for smaller site purchases (up to £10 million in aggregate until the Cover Ratio of 1.8 times, or more, is restored). This amendment is intended to strike a balance between providing reasonable protections to the holders of ZDP Shares on the one hand whilst not creating impediments to the future growth of the Group's business on the other.

In addition to the amendments to the Loan Documentation referred to above, the financial covenants incorporated into the conditions to the Loan Note will be further amended by the deletion of a requirement for Group companies to grant first-ranking security over any properties which are acquired on deferred payment terms using ZDP Share monies as soon as any prior security granted to the sellers of such properties in respect of future consideration payments is released. This provision overlaps with the Security Covenant and appears to the Board to be largely redundant going forward.

2.3 Authorities to allot ZDP Shares

The Resolutions include an ordinary resolution (numbered 3) to grant authority to the Directors under section 551 of the Companies Act to allot relevant securities, up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £1,747,540 so as to accommodate the Placing and allow flexibility for further issues in the future.

At the time of their adoption, the Existing Articles incorporated an authority for the Directors to allot ZDP Shares having an aggregate nominal value of £1,200,000 (equivalent to 12,000,000 ZDP Shares) during the period expiring on 21 November 2017.

This limit of the allotment authority to 12,000,000 ZDP Shares was inadvertently breached by the issue of new ZDP Shares in September 2016, which increased the number of ZDP Shares in issue to 12,444,200. Accordingly, a Resolution (numbered 2) will be proposed at the General Meeting to ratify the issue of ZDP Shares beyond the limit then in place

In addition to the changes described at paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2 above, the New Articles will provide for a shorter notice period to apply for general meetings (14 clear days as opposed to 21 clear days) to provide greater flexibility for the Board to convene general meetings at short notice. The existing 21 clear day period will continue to apply to annual general meetings.

2.4 The Tender Offer and Placing

In connection with the Proposals, Panmure Gordon is making the Tender Offer to acquire ZDP Shares, as set out in greater detail paragraph 6 below and in Appendix 2, and, as at the date of this announcement, has procured placees under the Placing with Placing Commitments to purchase up to 2,320,955 ZDP Shares at 150.8 pence per ZDP Share, being an amount equal to the Tender Price. The extent to which ZDP Shareholders participate in the Tender Offer is a matter for each ZDP Shareholder to decide, and will be influenced by his or her own individual financial and tax circumstances, investment objectives and view of the Company's prospects.

If the Placing Commitments exceed the acceptances under the Tender Offer, the Company will allot up to 2,488,800 new ZDP Shares in respect of the difference, and the excess Placing Commitments will be satisfied by the issue at the Tender Price of additional ZDP Shares (up to that maximum amount). If Tender Offer acceptances exceed the Placing Commitments, the numbers of ZDP Shares tendered by each ZDP Shareholder will be scaled back on a pro rata basis in order that they should equate to the number of ZDP Shares actually placed pursuant to the Placing.

2.5 General

Having taken market soundings from major ZDP Shareholders, the Board has received substantial support for the Proposals including written undertakings to vote in favour of them in respect of all the Ordinary Shares and c.6.95 million ZDP Shares, representing approximately 56 per cent. of the ZDP Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement.

Undertakings not to accept the Tender Offer have been received in respect of c. 6.64 million ZDP Shares, representing approximately 53 per cent. of the ZDP Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement.

2.6 Use of Proceeds from Proposals

Panmure Gordon has, at the date of this announcement, procured Placing Commitments in respect of 2,320,955 ZDP Shares under the Placing. Panmure Gordon may obtain further Placing Commitments

The Placing Commitments are likely to exceed the Tender Offer acceptances and any excess Placing Commitments will be satisfied by the issue of new ZDP Shares, thereby raising cash for the Inland Group's ongoing business operations and the cost of implementing the Proposals.

3. Protections for ZDP Shareholders which are not proposed to be changed

The Proposals need to be considered in the context of the overall protections afforded to the Company, the Inland Group and the ZDP Shareholders.

3.1 Security over Pledged Cash and Pledged Assets

Payment by the Company to ZDP Shareholders of the Final Capital Entitlement is guaranteed by Inland under the Contribution Agreement. As described earlier in this announcement, the Company lends the proceeds of ZDP Share issues to Inland and secures that loan (and Inland's obligations under the Contribution Agreement) by way of a charge over cash ("Pledged Cash") and first legal charges over tangible assets, mainly development properties, investments in property joint ventures and amounts receivable for the sale of properties ("Pledged Assets"). The Company also has recourse to Inland's other assets (ranking behind other creditors, banks and other lenders in relation to assets held by subsidiaries) to support the amounts due to ZDP Shareholders. There are no prior or pari passu charges over the Pledged Cash or Pledged Assets.

The Pledged Assets must have a book value in excess 120 per cent. of the accrued value of the ZDP Shares (net of the Pledged Cash), tested at quarterly intervals. If there is a shortfall, the Inland Group will be obliged to grant first legal charges over additional tangible assets within three months to ensure that the value of the first-charged assets is restored. The ZDP Shares will become repayable if any shortfall in the value of the Pledged Assets is not remedied within three months, unless ZDP Shareholders approve alternative arrangements.

3.2 Restrictions on dividends and payments to holders of Ordinary Shares

The Cover Ratio requirements prevent dividends, share buybacks or any other payments to external shareholders of any company in the Inland Group unless the Cover Ratio after such issuance or payment is a minimum of 1.8 times. The Cover Ratio is calculated using IFRS accounting values, not EPRA values.

For the purposes of the Cover Ratio covenant, deferred consideration (where the vendor has no recourse to the Inland Group's other assets) is deducted from Assets and not treated as Financial Indebtedness, as is other deferred consideration up to 60 per cent. of the initial purchase price. Any Excess Deferred Consideration over 60 per cent. of the initial purchase price (where the vendor has recourse to other Inland Group assets) is treated as an increase in Financial Indebtedness. The Financial Indebtedness figure used to calculate the Cover Ratio excludes borrowings repayable more than six months after the Final Redemption Date.

4. Risk factors

Inland's ability to pay the Final Capital Entitlement is subject to the Inland Group having sufficient assets to do so on 10 April 2024. While the security arrangements, described in paragraph 3 above, reduce the risk of ZDP Shareholders not receiving their Final Capital Entitlement on the due date, they do not eliminate it.

The Directors believe that the risk of nothing being available to ZDP Shareholders on the Final Repayment Date is not material because, in the event of a shortfall, any Pledged Cash and the proceeds of sale of the Pledged Assets (net of realisation and other costs) will be paid to ZDP Shareholders. The risk of the Inland Group being unable to pay the Final Capital Entitlement on 10 April 2024 is greater than the risk of it being unable to do so on 10 April 2019 because of the longer period during which ZDP Shareholders may be exposed to the risk of a material adverse change to the Group's business or financial position.

ZDP Shareholders should refer to the risk factors set out in the prospectus issued by the Company dated 14 December 2012, which was published when the ZDP Shares were first admitted to the to the Official List and which remain applicable in all material respects to any assessment of the risks associated with the ZDP Shares. The prospectus is available at www.inlandhomesplc.com/investors/inland-zdp/zdp-reports-and-presentations/.

5. Illustrative Cover Ratios and Hurdle Rates

The tables below show the financial effect of the Proposals being approved, the Placing Commitments being satisfied in full and an illustrative £2 million cash being raised for the Company pursuant to the Placing which is invested in inventories by reference to Inland's financial position as at 31 December 2017 as set out in the unaudited interim financial statements (using IFRS principles to calculate the book value of assets) followed by the same financial illustration using EPRA values for property assets. Each table is as adjusted by: (i) a provision for the costs of implementing the Proposals, which are estimated to amount to approximately £300,000; and (ii) the increase in the Final Capital Entitlement pursuant to the Proposals from 155.9 pence to 201.4 pence, which amounts in aggregate to approximately £25.063 million. This is further increased to £27.734 million if the illustrative additional ZDP Shares are issued to raise £2 million for the Inland Group.

Financial effect of the Proposals using book values (IFRS)

The Cover Ratio for the purposes of the Articles is calculated on the conservative basis shown above. The alternative basis is used by some investment analysts (including certain published financial statistics).

Financial effect of Proposal using EPRA valuation

The table below sets out the financial effect of the Proposals using EPRA valuations for the property assets.

The EPRA uplift in asset values as at 31 December 2017 is £58.193 million. The EPRA basis also includes an adjustment to add back deferred tax, however, no tax adjustment has been made to the amounts shown above.

6. The Tender Offer

The Directors recognise that some ZDP Shareholders may prefer to receive cash instead of holding ZDP Shares with a later maturity date. Accordingly, Panmure Gordon is making the Tender Offer as principal on the terms set out in this paragraph and Appendix 2.

In order to facilitate the sale of existing ZDP Shares for cash at the Tender Price, Inland has agreed to pay the transaction costs of the Tender Offer.

As at the date of this announcement, Panmure Gordon has procured Placing Commitments from investors in respect of 2,320.955 ZDP Shares at the Tender Price, which is also the Placing Price, of 150.8 pence per ZDP Share. ZDP Shares tendered by ZDP Shareholders up to the amount of Placing Commitments obtained by Panmure Gordon will be sold to placees.

However, if the aggregate number of ZDP Shares tendered under the Tender Offer exceeds the number of ZDP Shares placed by Panmure Gordon pursuant to the Placing, the numbers of ZDP Shares tendered by each ZDP Shareholder will be scaled down on a pro rata basis to equate to the number of ZDP Shares actually placed pursuant to the Placing.

The Tender Price of 150.8 pence represents a premium of 1.26 per cent. to the accrued value of a ZDP Share as at 16 August 2018, being the settlement date of the Tender Offer. The annual gross redemption yield of the ZDP Shares as at the Settlement Date is 5.25 per cent. on 150.8 pence, being the Tender Price, and 5.48 per cent. on 148.9 pence, being the accrued value of a ZDP Share on the Settlement Date.

The Tender Offer is subject, inter alia, to the Proposals being approved at the Meetings and will lapse if the Resolutions are not passed. The Tender Offer is not conditional upon Admission.

Further information relating to the Tender Offer is set out in Appendix 2.

ZDP Shareholders are not obliged to tender any ZDP Shares. Participation in the Tender Offer is a matter for each ZDP Shareholder to decide, and will be influenced by his or her own individual financial and tax circumstances, investment objectives and view of the Company's prospects. ZDP Shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Tender Offer need take no action.

If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial adviser authorised under FSMA immediately or, if you are in a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom, another appropriately authorised independent financial adviser.

7. Share certificates

Existing certificates in respect of ZDP Shares will not be affected by the Proposals and will remain valid.

8. UK taxation

The following comments are intended only as a general guide to certain aspects of current UK law and HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") published practice, which is subject to change possibly with retrospective effect, and do not constitute tax advice. Shareholders should consult their own professional advisers regarding their own tax position and before taking any action in respect of the Circular. The comments below only apply to ZDP Shareholders who hold their ZDP Shares beneficially as an investment and do not address the position of certain classes of ZDP Shareholders such as dealers in securities, insurance companies, investment trust companies, pension funds and collective investment schemes or Shareholders who may hold their ZDP Shares in an Individual Savings Account "ISA".

The comments apply only to ZDP Shareholders who are resident in the UK. Shareholders who are subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the UK are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

The ZDP Shares constitute chargeable assets for the purposes of UK capital gains tax (or, in the case of corporate ZDP Shareholders, corporation tax on chargeable gains). A sale of ZDP Shares by a Shareholder to Panmure Gordon pursuant to the Tender Offer should be treated as a disposal of those shares for the purposes of UK taxation. Accordingly, and subject to the comments below, any such Shareholder who is UK resident for tax purposes may, depending on that ZDP Shareholder's personal circumstances, be subject to capital gains tax (or, in the case of corporate ZDP Shareholders, corporation tax on chargeable gains) in respect of any gain arising on such a sale.

ZDP Shareholders who continue their investment in the ZDP Shares following the approval of the Proposals and do not participate in the Tender Offer will not be treated as making a disposal for the purposes of UK taxation of chargeable gains (or, in the case of a corporate ZDP Shareholder, corporation tax on chargeable gains) as a result of doing so. Altering the rights attached to the ZDP Shares that are already in issue is expected to be treated as a reorganisation of the share capital of the Company. The amended ZDP Shares will therefore be treated as the same asset as the original ZDP shares acquired by the existing ZDP Shareholders.

Transactions in securities

No application has been made to HMRC for clearance under section 748 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 ("CTA") or section 701 of the Income Tax Act 2007 ("ITA") that the anti-avoidance provisions of Part 15 of the CTA or Part 13 of the ITA should not apply in respect of the Tender Offer. Part 15 of the CTA and Part 13 of the ITA permit HMRC to counteract tax advantages arising from certain transactions in securities.

However, these sections will not apply where it can be shown:

• in the case of any corporation tax advantage, that the transactions in question were entered into for genuine commercial reasons and that enabling corporation tax advantages to be obtained was not their main object or one of the main objects; and

• in the case of any income tax advantage, that obtaining an income tax advantage was not the main purpose or one of the main purposes of the transactions.

These sections are not expected to apply generally in the context of the Tender Offer. However, ZDP Shareholders are advised to take independent advice as to the potential application of Part 15 of the CTA and Part 13 of the ITA in the light of their own particular motives and circumstances. More generally, the choice of whether to accept the Tender Offer will be a matter for each ZDP Shareholder to decide and will be influenced by their own individual circumstances and investment objectives.

Disguised interest

The "disguised interest" income tax provisions contained in Chapter 2A of Part 4 to the Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 seek to tax returns that are economically equivalent to interest as income. These provisions are, in principle, capable of applying to zero dividend preference shares. There is an exception for shares that are admitted to trading on a regulated market if they were issued before 6 April 2013 or, if issued on or after 6 April 2013, at the time of issue no arrangements involving only the shares would produce an amount which is economically equivalent to interest. The Directors have been advised that this exception should apply to the ZDP Shares on the basis of HMRC guidance and practice and that extending the life of the ZDP Shares already in issue by five years does not increase the risk that the disguised interest income tax provisions will apply to those ZDP shares. However, no assurances can be given that HMRC or the courts will agree with this interpretation or that there will be no change in the law.

The exception referred to above will not apply if a "relevant arrangement" is made by any person in relation to any ZDP Shares where the main purpose or one of the main purposes of that arrangement is to secure the production of a return that is economically equivalent to interest. The Directors do not intend that the Company will make any such an arrangement and ZDP Shareholders should consider their position very carefully before making any arrangements with respect to their own holdings of ZDP Shares and should take appropriate professional advice.

Similar disguised interest rules exist for the purposes of UK corporation tax (see Chapter 2A of Part 6 to the Corporation Tax Act 2009). The "Shares Accounted for as Liabilities" provisions in Chapter 6A of Part 6 to the Corporation Tax Act 2009 could also be relevant to a ZDP Shareholder within the charge to UK corporation tax. However, the rules in both Chapters 2A and 6A of Part 6 to the Corporation Tax Act 2009 are subject to an exclusion for arrangements that do not have a main purpose of obtaining a tax advantage.

6.3 Except as contained in this announcement, no person has been authorised to give any information or make any representations with respect to the Company or the Tender Offer and, if given or made, such other information or representations should not be relied on as having been authorised by Panmure Gordon or the Company.

6.4 The provisions of the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 do not apply to the Tender Offer.

7. Restricted Shareholders and other Overseas Shareholders

7.1 The provisions of this paragraph and any other terms of the Tender Offer relating to Restricted Shareholders may be waived, varied or modified as regards specific ZDP Shareholders or on a general basis by Panmure Gordon in consultation with the Company but only if Panmure Gordon and the Company are satisfied that such waiver, variance or modification will not constitute or give rise to a breach of applicable securities or other law.

7.2 Overseas Shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of any such Overseas Shareholder wishing to tender ZDP Shares to satisfy himself as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection herewith, the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any transfer or other taxes or other requisite payments due in such jurisdiction. Any such Overseas Shareholder will be responsible for the payment of any such transfer or other taxes or other requisite payments due by whomsoever payable and Panmure Gordon and the Company and any person acting on their behalf shall be fully indemnified and held harmless by such Overseas Shareholder for any such transfer or other taxes or other requisite payments such person may be required to pay.

Envelopes containing Tender Forms postmarked from a Restricted Territory or otherwise despatched from a Restricted Territory or Tender Forms which provide Restricted Territory addresses for the remittance of cash or return of Tender Forms will be rendered void.

Terms and conditions of the Placing

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Redeemable zero dividend preference shares of 10 pence each in the capital of Inland ZDP plc (the "Company") (the "ZDP Shares") are available under the Placing (defined below) at a price of 150.8 pence per ZDP Share (free of commission and stamp duty/stamp duty reserve tax, whether existing or new ZDP Shares, but may be subject to Panel of Takeovers & Mergers (PTM) levy) (the "Placing Price"). "Placing" means the conditional placing of existing and/or new ZDP Shares by Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited ("Panmure Gordon") on the terms and subject to the conditions set out herein.

1.2 Each person who has agreed to purchase and/or subscribe for ZDP Shares pursuant to the Placing subject to scaling back (a "Placee") which confirms its agreement (whether orally or in writing) to Panmure Gordon to purchase and/or subscribe for ZDP Shares under the Placing will be bound by these terms and conditions and will be deemed to have accepted them.

1.3 Panmure Gordon may require any Placee to agree to such further terms and/or conditions and/or give such additional warranties and/or representations as Panmure Gordon (in its absolute discretion) sees fit and may require any such Placee to execute a separate placing letter (a "Placing Letter"). The terms herein will, where applicable, be deemed to be incorporated into such Placing Letters.

1.4 Subject to paragraph 1.3 above, the commitment to acquire ZDP Shares under the Placing will be agreed orally with Panmure Gordon (as principal insofar as Placing commitments are required to satisfy acceptances of the Tender Offer and otherwise as agent for the Company) and further evidenced in a contract note ("Contract Note") or placing confirmation ("Placing Confirmation").

1.5 By way of background, the Company was incorporated in England and Wales on 22 November 2012. The Company proposes, inter alia, to extend the life of the ZDP Shares by deferring their final redemption date from 10 April 2019 to 10 April 2024. The Company agreed with Panmure Gordon that Panmure Gordon will make, as principal, a conditional tender offer to acquire up to 100 per cent. of the existing ZDP Shares (in issue as at close of business on 18 July 2018) (the "Existing ZDP Shares") at 150.8 pence per ZDP Share (the "Tender Price") by way of market purchase ("Tender Offer"). Panmure Gordon has, subject to the terms and conditions of the Placing Agreement (defined below), agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure:

1.5.1 purchasers to acquire those Existing ZDP Shares whose holders validly accept the tender offer to acquire them (the "Tender Accepted Shares") at the Tender Price (this being the same as at the Placing Price); and

1.5.2 (if Placing Commitments (defined below) exceed the number of Tender Accepted Shares) subscribers for up to a maximum of 2,488,800 new Shares (the "Issue Maximum") to be issued pursuant to the Issue (defined below) at the Placing Price.

To the extent that Placing Commitments exceed the number of Tender Accepted Shares, the Company shall allot and issue new ZDP Shares in respect of the difference (up to the Issue Maximum), but subject to the Additional Conditions (defined in paragraph 10 below) being fulfilled (the "Issue").

2 AGREEMENT TO APPLY FOR ZDP SHARES AND CONDITIONS

2.1 A Placee agrees to purchase and/or subscribe for those ZDP Shares allocated to it by Panmure Gordon at the Placing Price, subject to and conditional on, amongst other things:

2.1.1 the terms and conditions herein, and the terms and conditions set out in the Placing Letter and the accompanying form of confirmation;

2.1.2 the placing agreement entered into between the Company, Inland Homes plc ("Inland Homes") and Panmure Gordon dated 18 July 2018 (the "Placing Agreement") becoming wholly unconditional (where relevant, save in relation to the Additional Conditions (defined in paragraph 10 below) and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms on or before the Effective Date ("Settlement Date";

2.1.3 in the event that new ZDP Shares are to be issued where the legally binding commitments to subscribe for/acquire ZDP shares obtained by Panmure Gordon from Placees pursuant to the Placing ("Placing Commitments") exceed the number of ZDP Shares validly accepted under the Tender Offer, the Additional Conditions (defined in paragraph 10 below) being fulfilled, which include, inter alia, the condition for the admission of those new ZDP Shares to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market ("Admission") becoming effective by no later than the Settlement Date or such later date as the Company and Panmure Gordon may agree in any event not later than 31 August 2018 (the "Longstop Date"). If the Additional Conditions are not fulfilled but the remaining conditions relating to the Placing are fulfilled, Placing Commitments for ZDP Shares will be scaled back in such a manner as determined by Panmure Gordon at its discretion in order that the total number of ZDP Shares allocated to Placees shall equate to the number of ZDP Shares validly accepted under the Tender Offer only;

2.1.4 scaling back in the event that Placing Commitments exceed a maximum number, this being the total number of ZDP Shares validly accepted under the Tender Offer plus up to 2,488,800 ZDP Shares, provided that this maximum number may be reduced in the event that the Additional Conditions (defined in paragraph 10 below) fail to be fulfilled, in which case, Placing Commitments will be subject to a further scaling back in order that the total number of ZDP Shares to be allocated to Placees shall equate to the number of ZDP Shares validly accepted under the Tender Offer only; and

2.1.5 Panmure Gordon confirming to Placees their allocation of ZDP Shares.

2.2 To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Placee acknowledges and agrees that it will not be entitled to exercise any remedy of rescission at any time. This does not affect any other rights the Placee may have.

3 PAYMENT FOR ZDP SHARES

3.1 Each Placee must pay the Placing Price for the ZDP Shares issued or transferred to the Placee in the manner and by the time directed by Panmure Gordon. If any Placee fails to pay the Placing Price as so directed and/or by the time required, the relevant Placee's application for ZDP Shares may, at the discretion of Panmure Gordon, either be rejected or accepted and, in the latter case, paragraph 3.2 of these terms and conditions shall apply.

3.2 Each Placee is deemed to agree that if it does not comply with its obligation to pay the Placing Price for the ZDP Shares allocated to it in accordance with paragraph 3.1 of these terms and conditions and Panmure Gordon elects to accept that Placee's application, the relevant Placee shall be deemed hereby to have appointed Panmure Gordon or any nominee of Panmure Gordon as its agent to use its reasonable endeavours to sell (in one or more transactions) any or all of the ZDP Shares allocated to the Placee in respect of which payment shall not have been made as directed, and to indemnify Panmure Gordon and its affiliates on demand in respect of any liability for any costs or stamp duty reserve tax or any other liability whatsoever arising in respect of any such sale or sales. A sale of all or any of such ZDP Shares shall not release the relevant Placee from the obligation to make such payment for relevant ZDP Shares to the extent that Panmure Gordon or its nominee has failed to sell such ZDP Shares at a consideration which, after deduction of the expenses of such sale and payment of stamp duty and/or stamp duty reserve tax as aforementioned, exceeds the Placing Price.

That oral confirmation will constitute an irrevocable, legally binding Placing Commitment upon that person (who at that point will become a Placee) in favour of the Company and Panmure Gordon to purchase and/or subscribe for the number of ZDP Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price on the terms and conditions set out in herein and, as applicable, in the Contract Note or Placing Confirmation. Except with the consent of Panmure Gordon, such oral Placing Commitment will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is made; and
