Countryside Properties Plc

Transaction in own shares

Further to the announcement by Countryside Properties Plc (the "Company") on 7 July 2021 of its intention to return surplus cash of at least GBP450 million to shareholders and the completion of the initial tranche of the Company's share buyback programme with Barclays Capital Securities Limited announced on 15 October 2021, the Company is pleased to announce that it has commenced another tranche of the buyback programme (the "Programme").

The Company has entered into a discretionary and non-irrevocable arrangement with Numis Securities Limited ("Numis") to conduct the Programme on its behalf. Under this arrangement, Numis, an independent third party, will act as principal and will make purchases of the Company's ordinary shares in accordance with the Company's instructions from time to time (including as to price and volume limits).

As the Programme is a discretionary mandate, there can be no certainty of the number of ordinary shares that will be acquired by the Company but any purchases of shares by the Company in relation to the Programme will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and in accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the Company's general authority to repurchase shares granted by its shareholders, the Market Abuse Regulation 596/2014 (as it forms part of UK law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) and Chapter 12 of the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing Rules.

The Company announces that it has purchased the following number of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company on the London Stock Exchange from Numis:

Such purchases form part of the Company's Programme and were effected pursuant to the instructions issued to Numis by the Company on 30 November 2021, as supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

The repurchased shares will be held in treasury. Following the repurchase of these ordinary shares, the Company holds 9,525,801 of its ordinary shares in treasury and has 515,101,069 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares). To the extent that further ordinary shares are repurchased under the programme, these will also be held in treasury.
