Redemption of Bonds and Utilisation of Loan Facility

 

Following the occurrence of a change of control put event in respect of the
Chinatown Bonds and the Carnaby Bonds (together, the "Bonds"), each bondholder
had the option to require the relevant issuer to redeem (or, at the relevant
issuer's option, purchase or procure the purchase of) its bonds by exercising
a change of control put option by no later than 8 April 2023.

100 per cent. of the Chinatown Bond bondholders exercised their change of
control put option and the Chinatown Bonds were redeemed in full on 17 April
2023 (the "Change of Control Put Date"). 99.9123 per cent. of the Carnaby Bond
bondholders exercised their change of control put option and 99.9123 per cent.
of the Carnaby Bonds were redeemed on the Change of Control Put Date.

On 18 April 2023, Shaftesbury Carnaby plc exercised its option to redeem the
remaining outstanding Carnaby Bonds at their nominal amount, together with
interest accrued to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, such date
being 19 May 2023.

An application will be made to the Financial Conduct Authority to delist the
Bonds following completion of the final redemption.

The redemption of the Bonds has been funded in full by utilisation of the
Shaftesbury Capital PLC £576 million loan facility agreement provided by
Barclays Bank PLC, BNP Paribas SA and HSBC Bank plc dated 16 June 2022 (the
"Facility Agreement").

A summary of the Facility Agreement terms is set out in the merger prospectus
dated 7 July 2022 and the Facility Agreement is available on the Shaftesbury
Capital PLC website.
