Dividend policy guidance
• To protect the long term strength of the business, the dividend has been temporarily suspended in response to Covid-19
• As a REIT, the dividend is an important element of shareholder return
• The Board is focussed on resuming dividends at an appropriate level as soon as there is sufficient clarity of outlook
• Guiding principles:• A significant improvement in rent collection
• More visibility on the post lockdown productivity of our assets, principally how quickly retail customers and office workers return.

New 2030 Environmental Commitments • Net zero carbon portfolio by 2030
– All future developments to be net zero embodied carbon
– 50% less embodied carbon on all major developments by 2030
– 75% less operational carbon across our portfolio by 2030
• Transition fund established – From 2020 we will assume an internal carbon

– This will fund the offsetting of embodied emissions associated with developments through accredited offset schemes
– The remaining amount will be paid into the Transition Fund to finance retrofitting of standing portfolio, including R&D
100 Liverpool Street
25
New 2030 Social Commitments • Place based approach
– Partner with local stakeholders
– Education and employment partnerships at each place
– Underpinned by our Local Charter, comprising 5 key commitments to local communities
• Piloting our approach at three locations, building on successful partnership model at Regent’s Place and Fort Kinnaird
Tree Shepherd, Canada Water
Looking forward Chris Grigg, CEO
• Occupiers focused on getting back to the office
• Focus on transition to the “new abnormal”…– Occupancy will be phased and significantly
reduced
• …and in the “new normal” – Managing communal space, staggered hours of
operation, more frequent deep cleans
• Businesses appreciate the benefits of the office– Developing and maintaining culture and teams
– Interacting with and serving customers/clients
– Hiring, training, learning from experience
– Social interaction, supporting mental health27
Offices – working with our customers to get back to work
1 Triton Square, Regent’s Place
• Demand likely to focus on modern, high quality space– Particularly flagship (e.g. headquarter) space
– Customers seeking more flexibility and focus on health/safety and well managed space
– Further polarisation in terms of quality of space and customer services
• Some trends likely to reverse– Reduced hot desking as employees value personal
space
– Trends towards greater densities likely to reverse
– Working from home patterns will likely evolve
• Our campuses are well positioned – Delivering modern, sustainable workspace with a
focus on wellbeing
– Control and management of public spaces 28
Offices – early thoughts on potential long term trends
Storey Club, Paddington
• Use of online retail has accelerated
• Changing consumer behaviour – Likely more “mission based” shopping
– Less dwell time, less browsing
– Challenges for leisure / experiential operators
• Retail parks relatively better placed– Open air centres more attractive to shoppers
– Well located, easily accessible, facilitate instore fulfilment and Click & Collect
• Retail, F&B will remain an important part of our mixed use environments long term – Key to creating attractive, vibrant London places
• Committed to achieving further selective sales
29
Retail, early thoughts on near and long term view
SouthGate, Bath
• Key planning milestones achieved– Resolution to grant outline planning for Masterplan
– Confirmation that the Mayor of London will not call the application in for further consideration
• Next steps – Expect to draw the headlease down over the
summer
– End 2020, earliest possible start on site, depending on prevailing conditions
• Future plans – Resolution includes detailed consent on the first
three buildings, capital spend of £330m
– Initial discussions with potential partners on the whole scheme
30
Further good progress delivered at Canada Water
First Phase building
Outlook
Canada Water
1 Broadgate 31
• London Offices– Occupier demand likely to be softer short term
– Supply of prime likely to remain constrained for some time with developments postponed or delayed
– Expect demand for modern, high quality and well located space to remain firm
– Expect investment market to recover as confidence returns
• Retail – Occupier market will remain challenging
– Liquidity not expected to return to the multi-let investment markets in the short term
– Investor demand for standalone assets remains relatively robust

Near and longer term challenges & implications
Retail Office
Near term
• Open air, well located centres will play a key role • Increase in “mission-based” shopping• Reduced dwell time, less browsing • Likely decrease in experiential and leisure activities
• Locations ability to support instore fulfilment, particularly Click & Collect will be key to retailer networks
• Return to work likely to be phased• Changes in commuting methods/patterns: travel is a key challenge
• Careful management of communal space, including lifts and meeting rooms will be essential
• Hotdesking will decline, space per employee likely to rise
• Majority of meetings likely to remain virtual
Long term
• Significant, permanent shift to online likely to accelerate
• Retailers likely to refine and focus networks on stores which best enable distribution and fulfilment (including Click & Collect)
• Evolution of lease structures, potential continued increase in turnover leases but with linkage to online fulfilment
• Flexible working trend likely to continue, with increased working from home
• Workspace and face-to-face interaction remains key for culture, attracting best talent, training and maintaining client/customer relationships
• Increased space per employee • Focus on health / safety and property management

EPRA published its latest Best Practices Recommendations in October 2019 which included three new Net Asset Valuation metrics, namely EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV). These metrics are effective from 1 January 2020 but have been presented below as at 31 March 2020 to provide a comparison to the current measures, EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV.
1 The new EPRA guidance states that deferred taxes expected to crystallize should no longer be excluded. The group will conduct a review of such items upon adoption of theguidance but does not expect any resulting EPRA adjustment to be material.2 As the Group’s EPRA NDV is the same as the EPRA NNNAV, there are no reconciling items.

For the purpose of this document, references to "presentation" shall be deemed to include this document, the oral briefing provided by British Land on this document, the question-and-answer session that follows the oral briefing, and any materials distributed in connection with this document or the oral briefing through The Regulatory News Service. This document is incomplete without reference to, and should be viewed solely in conjunction with, the wider presentation.
All statements of opinion and/or belief contained in this presentation and all views expressed represent British Land's own current assessment and interpretation of information available to them as at the date of this presentation. Please note that this presentation may contain or incorporate by reference certain ‘forward-looking’ statements. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical fact. Such statements reflect current views, intentions, expectations, forecasts and beliefs of British Land concerning, among other things, our markets, activities, projections, strategy, plans, initiatives, objectives, performance, financial condition, liquidity, growth and prospects, as well as assumptions about future events, and appear in a number of places throughout this presentation. Such ‘forward-looking’ statements can sometimes, but not always, be identified by their reference to a date or point in the future, the future tense, or the use of ‘forward-looking’ terminology, including terms such as ‘believes’, ‘considers’, ‘estimates’, ‘anticipates’, ‘expects’, ‘forecasts’, ‘intends’, ‘continues’, ‘potential’, ‘due’, ‘potential’, ‘possible’, ‘plans’, ‘seeks’, ‘projects’, ‘budget’, ‘goal’, ‘guidance’, ‘trends’, future’, ‘outlook’, ‘schedule’, ‘budget’, ‘target’, ‘aim’, ‘may’, ‘likely to’, ‘will’, ‘would’, ‘could’, ‘should’ or similar expressions or in each case their negative or other variations or comparable terminology.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties because they relate to future events and circumstances and depend on circumstances which may or may not occur and may be beyond our ability to control, predict or estimate. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and hence may prove to be erroneous. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from any outcomes or results expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements regarding past trends or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. Even if results and the development of the industry in which British Land operates are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in the presentation, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of British Land speak only as of the date they are made.
Other than in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations (including under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the EU Market Abuse Regulation and the requirements of the Financial Conduct Authority and the London Stock Exchange), British Land does not intend or undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in British Land’s expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions, circumstances or other information on which any such statement is based (regardless of whether those forward-looking statements are affected as a result). Important factors that could cause actual results, performance, developments or achievements of British Land to differ materially from any outcomes or results expressed in or implied by such forward-looking statements include (among other things) business, economic and regulatory changes, as well as those risks which are set out in the ""Effective Risk Management" section of British Land's latest annual report and accounts (which can be found at www.britishland.com) (as updated or supplemented by the "Risk Management and Principal Risks" and the "Forward-looking statements" sections of the Full Year Results Announcement)
