If you are in any doubt as to the action you should take, please consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, or other professional independent adviser who is duly authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended).

10 June 2025
I am pleased to invite you to the 2025 Annual General Meeting of The British Land Company PLC (the 'Company'), which will be held at 100 Liverpool Street, London EC2M 2RH on Tuesday, 15 July 2025 at 11.30am (the 'AGM').
We will once again be holding the meeting later in the morning and only offer in person attendance.
This circular contains:
The Notice and our Annual Report and Accounts for the year to 31 March 2025 (the '2025 Annual Report') are also available on the British Land website at britishland.com/agm.
If you are unable to attend the AGM, you can still be represented at the meeting by appointing a proxy to act on your behalf and by giving instructions on how you wish your proxy to vote on the proposed resolutions.
Irrespective of whether or not you propose to attend the meeting, we would encourage you to appoint the chair of the meeting as your proxy. This will ensure that your vote will be counted if ultimately you (or any proxy you might otherwise appoint) are not able to attend on the day for any reason. If you appoint the chair of the meeting as your proxy, the chair will vote in accordance with your instructions. If the chair is given discretion as to how to vote, they will vote in favour of each of the resolutions set out in the Notice.
Appointing a proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting in person if you wish to do so.
Instructions on how to appoint a proxy can be found in the 'Shareholder Information' section of this document on pages 14 and 15. To be valid, your proxy appointment must be received by our registrars, Equiniti, at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA by no later than 11.30am on 11 July 2025.
As in previous years, all resolutions put to the AGM will be voted on by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands, allowing the votes of those shareholders who are unable to attend the AGM in person to be taken into account. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held.
As announced during the year, the Board approved the appointment of David Walker as Chief Financial Officer with effect from 20 November 2024, following a rigorous search and selection process as detailed on page 94 of the 2025 Annual Report. In line with best practice and in accordance with the Articles of Association, David Walker will stand for appointment at this year's AGM.
All current Directors have expressed a wish to remain in office and will seek re-appointment at the AGM. Bhavesh Mistry, Preben Prebensen and Irvinder Goodhew all stepped down from the Board during the year.
The Directors' Remuneration Policy was last approved by shareholders at our 2022 AGM. As required by law, we are inviting you to approve a new Remuneration Policy for Directors this year in addition to the customary vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report. An overview of the proposed changes to the Remuneration Policy and the Remuneration Committee's recommendation for supporting its approval can be found in the Directors' Remuneration Report, starting on page 107 of the 2025 Annual Report.
The Board considers that all of the resolutions set out in the Notice are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and are therefore likely to promote the success of the Company. The Board recommends that you vote in favour of each of the resolutions being put to the AGM in the same way as the Directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings (other than in respect of those matters in which they are interested).
Yours faithfully,
William Rucker Chair The British Land Company PLC

Notice is hereby given that the 2025 AGM of the Company will be held at 100 Liverpool Street, London, EC2M 2RH on Tuesday 15 July 2025 at 11.30am to consider and, if thought fit, pass the resolutions as set out below.
Resolutions 1 to 18 are proposed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 19 to 22 are proposed as special resolutions.
Further information on all resolutions is given in the Explanatory Notes on pages 6 to 9.
during the period commencing on the date this resolution is passed and ending at the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM (or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 September 2026) provided that, in each case, any such donation and expenditure made by the Company or by any such subsidiary shall not exceed £20,000 per company and together, those made by any subsidiary and the Company shall not exceed in aggregate £20,000.
Any terms used in this resolution which are defined in Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006 shall bear the same meaning for the purposes of this resolution.
appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical difficulties in, or under the laws of, or the requirements of any regulatory body or stock exchange in, any territory or any other matter whatsoever.
Such authority shall expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM (or, if earlier, the close of business on 30 September 2026) unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company at a general meeting, save that the Company may make an offer or agreement before the expiry of this authority which would or might require shares to be allotted, or rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares to be granted, after the expiry of this authority and the Directors may allot shares and grant rights in pursuance of that offer or agreement as if this authority had not expired.
as if section 561 of the Companies Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, provided that this power shall be limited to the allotment of equity securities for cash and the sale of treasury shares:

and which shall expire at the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM (or, if earlier, on 30 September 2026), save that the Company may before such expiry make any offer or agreement that would or might require equity securities to be allotted, or treasury shares to be sold, after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities, or sell treasury shares in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if the power conferred hereby had not expired.

i. up to an aggregate nominal amount of £24,979,111 to be used only for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the power is to be used within 12 months after the original transaction) a transaction which the Directors have determined to be either an acquisition or specified capital investment of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice, or for any other purposes as the Company in a general meeting may at any time by special resolution determine; and
ii. (otherwise than under paragraph (i) of this resolution) up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to 20% of any allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares from time to time under paragraph (i) of this resolution, such power to be used only for the purposes of making a follow-on offer which the Directors of the Company determine to be of a kind contemplated by paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles on Disapplying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the Pre-Emption Group prior to the date of this notice,
and which shall expire at the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM (or, if earlier, on 30 September 2026), save that the Company may before such expiry make any offer or agreement that would or might require equity securities to be allotted, or treasury shares to be sold, after such expiry and the Directors may allot equity securities, or sell treasury shares in pursuance of any such offer or agreement as if the power conferred hereby had not expired.
e. a contract to purchase shares under this authority may be made before the expiry of this authority, and concluded in whole or in part after the expiry of this authority as if this authority had not expired.
By order of the Board
Company Secretary The British Land Company PLC
10 June 2025
Registered office: York House, 45 Seymour Street, London W1H 7LX.
Registered in England and Wales with company number 621920.
Resolutions 1 to 18 are proposed as ordinary resolutions. This means that for each of those resolutions to be passed by shareholders on a poll, more than half of the total voting rights cast must be in favour of the resolution. Resolutions 19 to 22 are proposed as special resolutions. For each of those resolutions to be passed on a poll, at least three quarters of the total voting rights cast must be in favour.
For each financial year, the Directors must present the Annual Report and Financial Statements to shareholders. The Strategic Report, Governance Report, Directors' Remuneration Report, Directors' Report, Auditor's Report and Financial Statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 are contained within the Annual Report and Accounts 2025 (the '2025 Annual Report').
In accordance with best practice, the Company proposes an ordinary resolution to receive the 2025 Annual Report.
The Directors' Remuneration Report, which may be found on pages 107 to 129 of the 2025 Annual Report, gives details of the remuneration paid to the Directors for the year ended 31 March 2025. The Company's auditor has audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report required to be audited and their report may be found on pages 136 to 142 of the 2025 Annual Report.
Shareholders are invited to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report (other than the part containing the Directors' Remuneration Policy) by voting on Resolution 2. This vote is advisory in nature, meaning that payments made or promised to Directors will not have to be repaid, reduced or withheld in the event that the resolution is not passed.
The Directors are required to seek shareholder approval for a Remuneration Policy at least every three years. The Remuneration Policy sets out the Company's proposed policy on future Directors' remuneration. The Company's current Remuneration Policy was last approved by shareholders at the 2022 AGM. Accordingly, shareholders are invited to approve the new Directors' Remuneration Policy, which may be found on pages 109 to 115 of the 2025 Annual Report, by voting on Resolution 3. This vote is a binding shareholder vote.
If Resolution 3 is passed, the Remuneration Policy will take effect from the date of this AGM (the 'Effective Date') and from the Effective Date, subject to limited exceptions, the Company may not make a remuneration payment or payment for loss of office to a person who is, or is to be, or has been a Director of the Company unless that payment is consistent with the approved
Remuneration Policy. If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Remuneration Policy approved at the 2022 AGM will continue in effect.
The Board is recommending a final dividend of 10.56p per ordinary share for the financial year ended 31 March 2025. Subject to approval by shareholders, the final dividend will be paid on 25 July 2025 to shareholders entered on the Company's register at close of business on 20 June 2025. 8.56p will be payable as Property Income Distribution and 2.00p will be payable as a non-Property Income Distribution.
Together with the interim dividend paid in January, if the final dividend is approved, total dividends paid by the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025 will be 22.80p per ordinary share.
Resolutions 5 to 14 relate to the appointment and re-appointment of the Directors by shareholders. In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and the 2024 UK Corporate Governance Code (the 'Code'), all Directors wishing to continue in office as at the date of Notice (being the date selected by the Board for the purposes of Article 114 of the Company's Articles of Association) will stand for appointment or reappointment at the AGM by the shareholders.
Each of the Directors bring a wide range of skills, experience and knowledge to the Board which supports the Company's strategy. The core areas of expertise include property, finance, retail and consumer, science and technology and the public sector. This mix of expertise and backgrounds makes a major contribution to the functioning of the Board and its Committees and the long term sustainable success of the Company.
Accordingly, it is appropriate that each of them continues to serve as a Director of the Company.
Biographical details of the Directors standing for appointment and re-appointment are set out on pages 10 and 13 of this document.
The Board considers that each of the Directors standing for appointment and re-appointment continues to make an effective and valuable contribution to the Company and demonstrates commitment to their role. The Board is content that each Non-Executive Director offering himself or herself for appointment or re-appointment is independent in character and that there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect his or her character or judgement.
In determining the independence of Lynn Gladden, the Nomination Committee and Board considered her tenure of ten years from May 2025. In all other aspects of Provision 10 of the Code, there are no circumstances or arrangements that impair Lynn's independence. Noting the deep knowledge and
experience in the area of science and technology that Lynn brings to the Board and her independence of thought, character and judgement, the Nomination Committee and Board resolved that Lynn Gladden remains independent. The re-appointment is on the basis of a rolling one year term so that her independence can be critically assessed each year.
Accordingly, on the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board unanimously recommends the appointment and re-appointment as appropriate of each of the Directors.
The Company is required to appoint an auditor at each general meeting at which accounts are laid before shareholders.
The auditor holds office from the conclusion of the AGM until the conclusion of the following year's meeting.
On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board proposes that PwC be reappointed as the Company's auditor.
The Audit Committee has confirmed to the Board that its recommendation is free from third party influence and that no restrictive contractual provisions have been imposed on the Company limiting the choice of auditor. PwC have indicated their willingness to continue in office.
Resolution 16 proposes that the Audit Committee be authorised to determine the remuneration of the auditor. The Companies Act 2006 (the 'Companies Act') requires the auditor's remuneration to be fixed by ordinary resolution of the shareholders or in such manner as the shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, determine. In line with the Code, the Audit Committee considers and approves audit fees. Details of the remuneration paid to the auditor for the year ended 31 March 2025 (including non-audit fees) are set out on page 156 of the 2025 Annual Report.
As in previous years, it is not proposed or intended to alter the Company's policy of not making political donations or incurring political expenditure within the ordinary meaning of those words.
However, some of the Company's activities may fall within the wide definition of a political donation within the Companies Act and, without the necessary authorisation, the Company's ability to communicate its views effectively to political audiences and to relevant interest groups could be inhibited. Such activities may include briefings at receptions or conferences, or where the Company seeks to communicate its views on issues vital to its business interests, including conferences of a party-political nature or of special interest groups.
Accordingly, the Company believes that the authority contained in this resolution is necessary to allow it and its subsidiaries to fund activities which are in the interests of shareholders.
The authority being proposed, which is a renewal of the authority granted at the 2024 annual general meeting, will enable the Company and its subsidiaries to be sure that they do not unintentionally commit a technical breach of the Companies Act. Any expenditure which may be incurred under this authority will be disclosed in next year's annual report.
If approved, this authority will expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM and the close of business on 30 September 2026. The Directors expect to seek to renew this authority at each annual general meeting.
The Directors may only allot shares, or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares, if authorised to do so by shareholders (unless in pursuance of an employee's share scheme). The authority conferred on the Directors at last year's annual general meeting will expire at the AGM.
This resolution therefore seeks to grant a new authority to provide the Directors with flexibility to allot new shares and grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares in accordance with the Companies Act and within the limits prescribed by The Investment Association.
This resolution will, if passed, authorise the Directors to allot (or grant rights over) ordinary shares:
If granted, this authority will expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM and the close of business on 30 September 2026. The Board has no present intention of exercising this authority other than to the extent required to allot new shares to Non-Executive Directors in lieu of their fees.
However, the Board considers it prudent to maintain the flexibility that this authority provides and intends to renew this authority annually. This is in line with The Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines issued in 2023.
References above to the Company's issued share capital are to the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at the close of business on 30 May 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document). As at that date, the Company held 11,266,245 ordinary shares in treasury, representing 1.11% of the total issued share capital (including treasury shares) of 1,010,430,687 ordinary shares.
Under section 561(1) of the Companies Act, if the Directors wish to allot shares for cash or sell treasury shares for cash (other than pursuant to an employee share scheme), they must first offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. There may be occasions, however, when the Directors need the flexibility to finance business opportunities by the issue of shares or the sale of treasury shares for cash without a pre-emptive offer having to be made to existing shareholders.
Under the Companies Act, the Directors may seek a power from shareholders to disapply such pre-emption rights.
The power granted at the last annual general meeting is due to expire at the AGM.
Accordingly, resolution 19 will be proposed as a special resolution to grant such a power. Apart from offers or invitations in proportion to the respective number of shares held, the power will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash:
If given, this power will expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM and the close of business on 30 September 2026.
The figure of up to 10% reflects the Statement of Principles. The figure of up to a further 2% for "followon" offers also reflects the Statement of Principles, which introduced the concept of follow-on offers to help existing and retail investors to participate in equity issues. The Directors confirm that they intend to follow the shareholder protections in paragraph 1 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles and, in relation to any follow-on offer, the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles.
Resolution 20 will afford the Board an additional power to allot equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash otherwise than to existing shareholders pro rata to their holdings and is intended to be used only in connection with acquisitions and other specified capital investments as contemplated by the Statement of Principles. The power granted at the last annual general meeting is due to expire at the AGM.
Accordingly, resolution 20 will be proposed as a special resolution to grant such a power. The power will be limited to the allotment of equity securities and sales of treasury shares for cash:
The power under Resolution 20 is in addition to that proposed under Resolution 19. Resolution 20(b)(ii) provides a similar power to the Directors for follow-on offers to share issues made pursuant to the power under resolution 19(iii), as explained above in the notes to resolution 19.
If given, this power will expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's 2026 AGM and the close of business on 30 September 2026.
The Board will have due regard to the Statement of Principles in relation to any exercise of this power and in particular they confirm that they intend to use this power only in connection with a transaction which they have determined to be an acquisition or a specified capital investment (of a kind contemplated by the Statement of Principles) which is announced contemporaneously with the announcement of the issue, or which has taken place in the preceding 12-month period and is disclosed in the announcement of the issue.
The Directors confirm that they intend to follow the shareholder protections in paragraph 1 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles and, in relation to any follow-on offer, the expected features of a follow-on offer as set out in paragraph 3 of Part 2B of the Statement of Principles.
This resolution, which will be proposed as a special resolution, renews the authority granted at last year's annual general meeting and authorises the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares up to a maximum of 99,916,444 ordinary shares (representing no more than 10% of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at close of business on 30 May 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document)), subject to specific conditions relating to price set out in the resolution. This authority will expire at the earlier of the conclusion of the Company's annual general meeting to be held in 2026 and the close of business on 30 September 2026.
The Directors have no present intention of exercising the authority to purchase the Company's ordinary shares but will keep the matter under review. The Directors confirm such authority will be exercised only if the Directors believe that to do so would result in an increase in earnings per share or an increased net asset value per share (or both) for the remaining shareholders, and would be likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders as a whole.
Any shares purchased under this authority may either be cancelled or held as treasury shares. Treasury shares may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or used to satisfy options or share awards issued to employees pursuant to the Company's employee share schemes.
As at close of business on 30 May 2025 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document) options and awards over 7,054,504 ordinary shares remained outstanding, representing 0.71% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) at that date. The proportion of the issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) that the options would represent if the authority (existing and being sought) were used in full is equal to 0.88%. There are no warrants outstanding.
This resolution, which will be proposed as a special resolution, would renew the authority given at last year's annual general meeting. The Company currently has the power to call a general meeting (other than an annual general meeting) on at least 14 days' notice and would like to preserve this ability. In order to do so, shareholders must first approve the calling of meetings on at least 14 days' notice. This resolution seeks such approval. The authority, if approved, will expire at the conclusion of the Company's annual general meeting in 2026 when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. Annual general meetings will continue to be held on at least 21 clear days' notice.
The flexibility offered by this resolution will only be used where the Directors consider it is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of the Company and shareholders as a whole. The Company undertakes to meet the requirements for electronic voting under the Companies Act before calling a general meeting on 14 days' notice.
