Response to press speculation

 

Hammerson plc (the "Company") notes recent press speculation.

Hammerson's strategy remains to realign the portfolio to focus on prime urban estates through disposals of non-core assets, to strengthen the balance sheet, and to re-cycle capital into its core portfolio and its development pipeline. 

The Company confirms that it is in discussions with entities related to Redical Holdings AG on terms for a possible sale of its Victoria Gate and Victoria Quarter shopping centres.

There can be no certainty that a transaction will take place, but the Company confirms the pricing under discussion is £120m, which would represent a class 2 transaction. The Company will provide a further announcement if appropriate.

This announcement has also been released on the SENS system of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and on Euronext Dublin.
