PART I

EXPLANATORY NOTES

ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTION 1 - 2024 ANNUAL REPORT

For each financial year, the Directors must present their report and the accounts of the Company to shareholders at the AGM. The accounts, Strategic Report, Directors' Remuneration Report, Directors' Report and the Auditor's Report on those accounts, and on those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that are capable of being audited, are contained within the 2024 Annual Report.

RESOLUTION 2 - DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION POLICY

This Resolution seeks shareholder approval for the Directors' Remuneration Policy set out in the 2024 Annual Report (the Policy).

In accordance with legislation, the Company offers shareholders a binding vote to approve the Company's policy on Directors' remuneration at least once every three years, but on a more frequent basis if changes to it are proposed. This vote is binding in that the Company may not make a remuneration payment or payment for loss of office to a person who is, or is to be, or has been a Director of the Company unless that payment is consistent with the approved Directors' Remuneration Policy or has otherwise been approved by a resolution of the shareholders of the Company. Shareholders last approved the Company's Remuneration Policy in July 2021.

If Resolution 2 is passed, the Policy will become effective immediately. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will continue to operate under its current Directors' Remuneration Policy and will seek shareholder approval for a revised Policy as soon as practicable. The new Policy remains largely unchanged, with only one minor amendment as follows:

Non-executive Directors are currently expected to meet a minimum shareholding guideline of 100% of their relevant annual fee within three years of appointment. While the purchase and retention of Landsec's shares by Non-executive Directors will continue to be expected, we are proposing to amend the Policy to remove the 100% of fee within three years expectation as this is currently considered to be overly restrictive in respect of appointing new Non-executive Directors from more diverse backgrounds.

Further details on our Policy can be found in the 2024 Annual Report.

RESOLUTION 3 - ANNUAL REPORT ON REMUNERATION

This resolution seeks shareholder approval of the Annual Report on Remuneration, which sets out details of the payments and share awards made to Directors in connection with their performance, and that of the Company, during the year ended 31 March 2024.

The vote on the Annual Report on Remuneration is advisory in nature in that payments made or promised to Directors will not have to be repaid, reduced or withheld in the event that Resolution 3 is not passed.

The Company's auditor, EY, has audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report required to be audited and its opinion forms part of its independent report to shareholders, which can be found in the 2024 Annual Report.

RESOLUTION 4 - FINAL DIVIDEND

Pursuant to the Board's recommendation, the authority sought from shareholders under this Resolution is to declare a final dividend of 12.1 pence per ordinary share for the financial year ended 31 March 2024. If approved, the final dividend will be paid as a Property Income Distribution on 26 July 2024 to those shareholders on the Company's statutory register of members as at the close of business on 14 June 2024. Together with the three interim

8

dividends already paid during the financial year, if the final dividend is approved, the total dividend paid by the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 will be 39.6 pence per ordinary share (2022/23: 38.6 pence per share).

The Company offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, whereby shareholders can use their cash dividends to purchase additional shares in the Company. Full details can be found on the Company's website: landsec.com.

RESOLUTIONS 5 TO 13 - ELECTION AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, new Directors appointed since the last AGM are required to seek election to office at the next AGM of the Company. This is the case this year in respect of James Bowling, who joined the Board as a Non-executive Director on 7 September 2023, and Moni Mannings OBE, who joined the Board as a Non- executive Director and Senior Independent Director designate on 11 December 2023. All other existing Directors are required to stand for re-election at each AGM of the Company. Accordingly, these Resolutions seek shareholder approval for the election of James Bowling and Moni Mannings OBE and the re-election of the remainder of the Company's current Directors except for Edward Bonham Carter, who will step down from the Board at the AGM having served ten years as a Non-executive Director. All Directors standing for re-election have confirmed their willingness to remain in office.

The Board currently has ten Directors (comprising a Non-executive Chair, two Executive Directors and seven other Non-executive Directors including Edward Bonham Carter who will step down at the AGM), whose experience and expertise are derived from a diverse range of industries, sectors and personal characteristics that provide an invaluable perspective on the Company's business. Biographical details for each Director seeking election or re-election, including their career history, skills, competencies and experience and an explanation of why each Director's contribution to the Board is and continues to be important to Landsec's long-term sustainable success, can be found in Appendix A and in the 2024 Annual Report.

Details of the internal Board evaluation process can be found in the Corporate Governance section of the 2024 Annual Report. Following such evaluation, the Board considers that each Director continues to be effective and demonstrates commitment to the role.

The independence, effectiveness and commitment of each of the Non-executive Directors has been reviewed and the Nomination Committee was satisfied with the contributions and time commitment of all the Non-executive Directors during the year.

The Board is satisfied that each of the Non-executive Directors remain independent (including the Chair who was independent on appointment in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code) in both character and judgement and there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their independence.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the election or re-election of all the Directors.

RESOLUTIONS 14 AND 15 - RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR AND DETERMINATION OF ITS REMUNERATION

EY has indicated its willingness to stand for re-appointment as auditor of the Company.

On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board is proposing its re-appointment to office until the conclusion of the AGM in 2025. Resolution 15 seeks authority for the Audit Committee (on behalf of the Board) to determine the remuneration of the auditors.

RESOLUTION 16 - AUTHORITY TO MAKE POLITICAL DONATIONS

The 2006 Act requires companies to obtain shareholder consent before they can make donations to a political party, other political organisations or an independent election candidate, or incur any political expenditure. However, the definitions of political donation and political expenditure used in the 2006 Act are very broad and as a result could inadvertently catch support which the Company may wish to give in relation to legitimate

9

activities, such as policy review, law reform and the representation of the business community and special interest groups (such as those concerned with the environment).

Such activities are not designed to support any political party or influence public support for any particular party, other political organisation or an independent election candidate.

Resolution 16 is not proposed or intended to alter the Company's policy of not making political donations, within the normal meaning of that expression.

The authority being sought under this Resolution is of a precautionary nature to ensure the Company and its subsidiaries do not inadvertently breach the 2006 Act.

RESOLUTION 17 - AUTHORITY TO ALLOT SECURITIES

Under section 551 of the 2006 Act, the Directors may only allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares if authorised to do so by shareholders in a general meeting.

The existing authority provided at last year's AGM to allot shares in this way expires at the conclusion of this year's AGM. Consequently, this Resolution seeks to renew the authority for a further period until the earlier of the conclusion of next year's AGM or 15 months from the date this Resolution is passed (unless previously renewed, varied or revoked by the Company in a general meeting).

The aggregate nominal value which can be allotted under the authority set out in paragraph (i) of the Resolution is limited to £26,485,018 (representing 744,891,152 ordinary shares with a nominal value of 102/3p each), which represents approximately one-third of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 17 May 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice.

The authority in paragraph (ii) of the Resolution permits the Directors to allot shares, or to grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company only in connection with a fully pre-emptive offer (including an offer by way of a rights issue or open offer), up to a further nominal value of £26,485,018. This amount, together with the authority provided under paragraph (i) of the Resolution, represents approximately two- thirds of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at

17 May 2024. This is in line with the latest Investment Association Share Capital Management Guidelines published in February 2023, which update the previous guidance to incorporate all fully pre-emptive offers, not just fully pre-emptive rights issues, in respect of the authority to allot a further one-third of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company.

The Directors currently have no intention of issuing new shares, or of granting rights to subscribe for or to convert any security into shares, except in connection with the Company's employee share plans.

As at 17 May 2024, the ordinary shares held in treasury represent approximately 0.9% of the Company's total issued ordinary share capital. The voting rights and dividend entitlements have been waived for the shares held in treasury.

RESOLUTION 18 - APPROVE THE COMPANY'S OMNIBUS SHARE PLAN 2024

The Company's existing Long Term Incentive Plan 2015 was approved by shareholders on

23 July 2015 (the 2015 LTIP). The 2015 LTIP had a ten year "life", with no awards permitted to be made after the tenth anniversary of its approval. The Company is therefore seeking shareholder approval of the implementation of the Omnibus Plan in order to be able to grant awards over ordinary shares in the Company so as to replace the 2015 LTIP. A summary of the terms of the Omnibus Plan is set out in Part III of this Notice. A copy of the draft Omnibus Plan rules is also available for inspection by shareholders on the National Storage Mechanism (accessible at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) from the date of publication of this Notice and at the place of the AGM from 15 minutes prior to its commencement until its conclusion.
