LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Jan 21, 2016) - Land Securities Group PLC (
Robert Noel, Chief Executive, said: "We have had a good third quarter with robust operational performance including record footfall in our shopping centres and continued letting momentum in our development programme. In London, rental value growth continued and the 186,000 sq ft of development lettings we completed in the quarter were ahead of our valuers' most recent estimates. In Oxford, we are transforming the city's major shopping centre and have made good leasing progress two years ahead of opening. We are delivering on our clear strategy for the business and, despite economic and political uncertainty, are confident in the strength of demand for our schemes."

This Interim Management Statement ("IMS") may contain certain "forward-looking statements" with respect to Land Securities Group PLC and the Group's financial condition, results of operations and business.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements are inherently unpredictable, speculative and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future, some of which relate to factors that are beyond the Group's ability to control or estimate precisely.

Any written or verbal forward-looking statements made in this IMS which are attributable to Land Securities Group PLC or any other member of the Group or persons acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors referred to above. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this IMS or on the date on which the Forward-looking statement is made.
