Medium term notes (MTNs) 
 
The MTNs are secured on the fixed and floating pool of assets of the Security Group. Debt investors benefit from security
over a pool of investment properties, development properties and the Group's investment in the Westgate Oxford Alliance
Limited Partnership, Nova, Victoria and the St. David's Limited Partnership, valued at £12.6bn at 31 March 2016 (2015:
£12.3bn). The secured debt structure has a tiered operating covenant regime which gives the Group substantial flexibility
when the loan-to-value and interest cover in the Security Group are less than 65% and more than 1.45 times respectively. If
these limits are exceeded, the operating environment becomes more restrictive with provisions to encourage a reduction in
gearing. The interest rate is fixed until the expected maturity, being two years before the legal maturity date for each
MTN, whereupon the interest rate for the last two years is LIBOR plus an increased margin. The effective interest rate
includes the amortisation of issue costs. The MTNs are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange and their fair values are based
on their respective market prices. 
 
On 29 March 2016, the Group repurchased the £400m, 4.875% MTN due in 2019 for a premium of £26.2m. At 31 March 2016, the
Group had £2,514.4m of MTNs outstanding with maturities between 2022 and 2036.

The terms of the Security Group funding arrangements require undrawn facilities to be reserved where syndicated and
bilateral facilities mature within one year, or where commercial paper has been issued. Accordingly, the Group's available
undrawn facilities at 31 March 2016 were £1,432.5m (2015: £1,288.9m), compared with undrawn facilities of £1,435.0m (2015:
£1,465.0m). 
 
All syndicated and bilateral facilities are committed and secured on the assets of the Security Group. In the year ended 31
March 2016, the amounts drawn under the Group's bilateral facilities and syndicated bank debt decreased by £345.0m. The
£500.0m bank facility in place at 31 March 2015 was cancelled on 4 November 2015 and not replaced. 
 
Queen Anne's Gate Bond 
 
On 29 July 2009, the Group issued a £360.3m bond secured on the rental cash flows from the commercial lease with the UK
Government over Queen Anne's Gate (QAG). The QAG Bond is a fully amortising bond with a final maturity in February 2027 and
a fixed interest rate of 5.253% per annum. At 31 March 2016, the bond had an amortised book value of £289.4m (2015:
£304.0m). 
 
Fair values 
 
The fair values of any floating rate financial liabilities are assumed to be equal to their nominal value, but adjusted for
the effect of exit fees payable on redemption. The fair values of the MTNs and the QAG Bond fall within Level 1, the
syndicated, bilateral facilities, commercial paper, interest-rate swaps and foreign exchange swaps fall within Level 2, and
the amounts payable under finance leases fall within Level 3, as defined by IFRS 13. 
 
Bond exchange de-recognition 
 
On 3 November 2004, a debt refinancing was completed resulting in the Group exchanging all of its outstanding bond and
debenture debt for new MTNs with higher nominal values. The new MTNs did not meet the IAS 39 requirement to be
substantially different from the debt that they replaced. Consequently the book value of the new debt is reduced to the
book value of the original debt by the 'bond exchange de-recognition' adjustment which is then amortised to zero over the
life of the new MTNs. The amortisation is included in interest expense in the income statement.

Refer to notes 6 and 7 to the financial statements for further analysis. 
 
1.    EPRA adjusted earnings and EPRA adjusted earnings per share include the amortisation of bond exchange de-recognition
of £23.4m and head office relocation costs of £5.6m. 
 
2.    EPRA adjusted net assets and adjusted diluted net assets per share include the bond exchange de-recognition
adjustment of £368.3m. 
 
3.    Our NIY and Topped-up NIY relate to the Combined Portfolio, excluding properties in the development programme that
have not yet reached practical completion, and are calculated by our external valuers. EPRA NIY and EPRA Topped-up NIY
calculations are consistent with ours, but excludes all developments. 
 
4.    Our measure reflects voids in our like-for-like portfolio only. The EPRA measure reflects voids in the Combined
Portfolio excluding only the development programme. 
 
5.    The EPRA cost ratio is calculated based on gross rental income after rents payable, whereas our measure is based on
gross rental income before rents payable. We do not calculate a cost ratio excluding direct vacancy costs as we do not
consider this to be helpful.

2.    Once properties are transferred from the development pipeline, we do not report on their individual value. 
 
Where the property is not 100% owned, floor areas and letting status shown above represent the full scheme whereas all
other figures represent our proportionate share. Letting % is measured by ERV and shows letting status at 31 March 2016.
Trading property development schemes are excluded from the development pipeline. 
 
Total development cost 
 
Refer to glossary for definition. Of the properties in the development pipeline at 31 March 2016, the only properties on

total development costs include expenditure on the residential elements of Westgate Oxford (£11.0m).
