LIBERTY INTERNATIONAL PLC

Liberty International PLC ("Liberty International") announced at its
Annual General Meeting today that it has appointed two non-executive
Directors, Mr Andrew Strang and Mr Andrew Huntley.  Both appointments
will be effective from Wednesday 8 July 2009.

Andrew Strang, 56, was the Chairman of Threadneedle Property
Investments Limited until April 2009.  He is a Consultant to Hermes
Real Estate; a member of the British Property Federation and a Member
of the Property Panel of the Association of British Insurers.  He is
a Chartered Surveyor having started his career with Richard Ellis
thirty years ago.

Andrew Huntley, 70, is also a Chartered Surveyor whose career with
Richard Ellis commenced some 40 years ago.  He was Chairman of
Richard Ellis in 1993 until 2002.  He was a non-executive director at
Pillar Property plc from 2000-2005 and is currently non-executive
Chairman of Panceltica Holdings Limited and a non-executive Director
of Catella Property Group, Miller Group Limited and The Real Office
Group Limited.

Mr Strang and Mr Huntley have each confirmed that there is no further
information to be disclosed in accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.13.

The appointments have been made with Corporate Governance and
succession planning in mind.  Michael Rapp, who is the Chairman of
the Group's Investment Committee, has informed the Board that he
wishes to step down at the 2010 Annual General Meeting. Both new
non-executive Directors are independent, both will be appointed to
the Investment Committee and Andrew Strang will be appointed to the
Audit Committee.  Their appointments will ensure that Liberty
International meets the Combined Code on Corporate Governance in
respect of both the balance of independent and non-independent
directors on the board and the composition of the Audit Committee,
which will comprise three independent non-executive directors when
Andrew Strang is appointed to that Committee.

It was also announced that Graeme Gordon has appointed Raymond Fine,
South African chartered accountant, as an Alternate Director, with
effect from 8 July 2009.

The Chairman of Liberty International, Patrick Burgess, said:
"Michael Rapp will be greatly missed by the Board when he steps down
in 2010 as his contribution to the Board has been outstanding.  We
are pleased to welcome Andrew Strang and Andrew Huntley to the group;
both have a distinguished background in property and a wealth of
experience to bring to the Board.  In addition, the appointments will
ensure that Liberty International complies fully with the Combined
Code on Corporate Governance. We are also pleased to welcome Raymond
Fine as an Alternate Director to Graeme Gordon."
