Trading Update

The Company released a Trading Update on 13 November 2014 detailing that trading was in line with management expectations for the year ended 31 December 2014, and that it was in advanced negotiations on nine strategic land sales, which bodes well for 2015.

Today, the Company announces that two of those strategic land sales have now completed and consequently, we anticipate that our trading result for the year ended 31 December 2014 will be materially ahead of current consensus expectations.

We anticipate publishing a Pre-close Trading Update on 23 January 2015, regarding the Company's unaudited year end trading and the unaudited investment property valuation movements as at 31 December 2014.
