FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH LISTING RULE 1.3.4R

Royal Mail plc

Exchange of contracts for sale of two plots on the Nine Elms site

Royal Mail plc (RMG.L) announces that conditional contracts have been exchanged for the sale of two of the seven plots (Plots B and D) on its Nine Elms site to Greystar for GBP101 million in cash. Royal Mail's site covers approximately 14 acres of which 8.35 acres are developable pursuant to the outline planning consent. Plots B and D comprise of 2.67 acres.

Greystar is a US entity that provides multifamily and student accommodation, providing vertically-integrated real estate services across property management, investment management and development and construction services. Greystar intends to develop purpose-built, high specification private rental apartment buildings on the two plots.

A deposit of GBP3 million has been paid to Royal Mail following the exchange of contracts. The remaining GBP98 million is conditional upon Greystar receiving planning consent from the local authority for its detailed designs for the two plots. Subject to the London Borough of Wandsworth's planning process and timescales, such consent is expected to be granted before the end of Royal Mail's 2017-18 financial year.

The proceeds of this sale will be used for general corporate purposes, with around GBP30 million committed to be re-invested into the Nine Elms site for infrastructure works to serve plots B and D and to support future plot developments. This is expected to benefit future sales values. As at 26 March 2017, Royal Mail had achieved cumulative net cash inflow from its London Development Portfolio of GBP43 million and Plots B and D had a net book value of GBP12.9 million.

Martin Gafsen, Group Director of Property and Facilities Solutions, Royal Mail said: "We believe that Greystar's strategy of developing private rental accommodation will help the ongoing transformation of Nine Elms and will benefit the other plots on the Royal Mail site. The opening of the US Embassy and the new Northern Line Extension - along with the delivery of this first phase of development and the associated park on the Royal Mail site - will see the emergence of a residential community in this exciting new area of the capital."
