Notes 
1.     Any proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been 
included in the 'for' total. 
2.     A 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and is not counted in the 
calculation of the proportion of the votes for or against a resolution. 
 
Patrick Burgess, Chairman of Liberty International, commented: 
 
"We are pleased with the shareholder support for the Demerger reflected in 
today's vote, which is the next step in the creation of two strong and focused 
businesses with different characteristics and attractions for shareholders as a 
response to the changing real estate market environment. We believe that as 
standalone businesses both Capital Shopping Centres and Capital & Counties will 
be best positioned to execute their own significant strategic plans and deliver 
strong shareholder returns over time." 
 
 
 
Completion of the Demerger remains subject to, amongst other things, the 
confirmation of the Liberty International Reduction of Capital by the Court. The 
court hearing to confirm the Reduction of Capital will be held on 4 May 2010. 
The Demerger is expected to become unconditional on 7 May 2010. 
 
A detailed timetable of events for the Demerger is set out in the Circular. A 
summary of the expected timetable is set out in Appendix A. 
 
Unless stated otherwise, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have 
the same meanings as in the Circular. 
 
Copies of the resolutions passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting have been 
submitted to the UK Listing Authority and will be shortly available for 
inspection by the public during normal business hours on any weekday (public 
holidays excepted) at the UK Listing Authority's Document Viewing Facility, 
which is situated at The Financial Services Authority, 25 The North Colonnade, 
Canary Wharf, London E14 5HS, United Kingdom (Tel: [phone]). The
