purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer differ from 3 June 2021, the Purchase Price in respect of the 2023 Bonds will be recalculated, all as further described
in the Tender Offer Memorandum).
Rationale for the Offers
The Offers are being made to manage and refinance near term maturities and to extend the weighted average
duration of the Company’s external indebtedness.
Purchase Prices and Accrued Interest
In respect of each Series, the Company will pay for any Bonds of the relevant Series validly tendered and accepted
for purchase by the Company pursuant to the relevant Offer a purchase price for such Bonds (each a Purchase
Price) to be determined:
(a) in the case of the 2022 Bonds, at or around 2.00 p.m. (London time) on 1 June 2021 (the Pricing Time)
in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to the sum (such sum, the 2022
Bonds Purchase Yield) of:
(i) the 2022 Bonds Purchase Spread specified in the table on page 1; and
(ii) the 2022 Bonds Interpolated Mid-Swap Rate; and
(b) in the case of the 2023 Bonds, in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference
to a fixed purchase yield of -0.150 per cent. (the 2023 Bonds Purchase Yield and, together with the
2022 Bonds Purchase Yield, the Purchase Yields and each a Purchase Yield) (see also footnote 3 on
page 1 of this announcement).
Each Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed as a percentage of
the nominal amount of the Bonds of the relevant Series accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer
(rounded to the nearest 0.001 per cent., with 0.0005 per cent. rounded upwards), and is intended to reflect a yield
to maturity (or, in the case of the 2023 Bonds, to the 2023 Bonds Par Call Date) of the Bonds of the relevant Series
on the Settlement Date based on the relevant Purchase Yield. Specifically, the Purchase Price applicable to the
Bonds of a particular Series will equal (a) the value of all remaining payments of principal and interest on the
relevant Series up to and including (i) in the case of the 2022 Bonds, the scheduled maturity date of the 2022
Bonds and (ii) in the case of the 2023 Bonds, the 2023 Bonds Par Call Date, discounted to the Settlement Date at
a discount rate equal to the relevant Purchase Yield, minus (b) any Accrued Interest for such Series.
The Company will also pay an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of any Bonds accepted for purchase pursuant
to the relevant Offer(s).
2022 Bonds Acceptance Amount
If the Company decides to accept any 2022 Bonds for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, the Company
intends to accept for purchase all of the 2022 Bonds that are validly tendered (the aggregate nominal amount of
such validly tendered and accepted 2022 Bonds being the 2022 Bonds Final Acceptance Amount), with no pro
rata scaling.
2023 Bonds Acceptance Amount
If the Company decides to accept any 2023 Bonds for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, the Company
currently proposes that the aggregate nominal amount of Bonds it will accept for purchase pursuant to the relevant
Offer will be no greater than an amount to be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, (such amount,
the 2023 Bonds Maximum Acceptance Amount) which the Company will announce as soon as is reasonably
practicable following pricing of the New Bonds, although the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion,
to accept significantly less or significantly more than such amount, or to accept none of such Bonds, for purchase
pursuant to the relevant Offer (the final aggregate nominal amount accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant
Offer being the 2023 Bonds Final Acceptance Amount).
Scaling of 2023 Bonds
In respect of the 2023 Bonds, if the Company decides to accept any validly tendered Bonds of such Series for
purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer and the aggregate nominal amount of the relevant Series validly tendered
for purchase is greater than the 2023 Bonds Final Acceptance Amount, the Company intends to accept such Bonds
for purchase on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate nominal amount of such Series accepted for purchase
pursuant to the relevant Offer is no greater than the 2023 Bonds Final Acceptance Amount.
New Issue Condition
Hammerson Ireland Finance DAC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, announced on 20 May 2021 its
intention to issue a new series of Sustainability-linked Bonds (the New Bonds), subject to market conditions. The
New Bonds are to be guaranteed by the Company, and the issue proceeds of the New Bonds are to be on-lent to
the Company. The Company's purchase of any Bonds validly tendered in the relevant Offer is subject, without
limitation, to the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Company) of the issue of the New Bonds
(the New Issue Condition).
Even if the New Issue Condition is satisfied, the Company is under no obligation to accept for purchase any Bonds
tendered pursuant to the relevant Offer. The acceptance for purchase by the Company of Bonds validly tendered
pursuant to the relevant Offer is at the sole discretion of the Company, and tenders may be rejected by the
Company for any reason or for no reason.
Any investment decision to purchase any New Bonds should be made solely on the basis of the information
contained in the prospectus to be prepared in connection with the issue and listing of the New Bonds (the
Prospectus), and no reliance is to be placed on any representations other than those contained in the Prospectus.
For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to purchase New Bonds is subject to all applicable securities laws and
regulations in force in any relevant jurisdiction (including the jurisdiction of the relevant Bondholder and the
selling restrictions set out in the Prospectus). It is the sole responsibility of each Bondholder to satisfy itself that
it is eligible to purchase the New Bonds.
The Prospectus,when published, will be available on the Company'swebsite
(www.hammerson.com/investors/shareholder-information/debt-investors).
The New Bonds are not being, and will not be, offered or sold in the United States. Nothing in this announcement
or the Tender Offer Memorandum constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Bonds
in the United States or any other jurisdiction. Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States
absent registration under, or an exemption from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act. The New
Bonds have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or
other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the
United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons.
Compliance information for the New Bonds: No EU PRIIPS KID – eligible counterparties and professional clients
only (all distribution channels). No sales to EEA retail investors; no key information document in respect of the
EEA has been or will be prepared. UK MiFIR professionals/ECPs-only/No UK PRIIPS KID – eligible
counterparties and professional clients only (all distribution channels). No sales to UK retail investors; no key
information document in respect of the UK has been or will be prepared.
No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the New Bonds to permit a public offering of
securities.
Allocation of the New Bonds
When considering allocation of the New Bonds, the Company may give preference to those Bondholders who,
prior to such allocation, have validly tendered or have given a firm intention to the Company or any Dealer
Manager that they intend to tender their Bonds for purchase pursuant to the Offers. Therefore, a Bondholder who
wishes to subscribe for New Bonds in addition to tendering its existing Bonds for purchase pursuant to the Offers
may be eligible to receive, at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, priority in the allocation of the
New Bonds, subject to the issue of the New Bonds and such Bondholder making a separate application for the
purchase of such New Bonds to a Dealer Manager (in its capacity as a joint lead manager of the issue of the New
Bonds) in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such Dealer Manager (in its capacity as a joint
lead manager of the issue of the New Bonds). Any such preference will, subject to the sole and absolute discretion
of the Company, be applicable up to the aggregate nominal amount of Bonds tendered or firmly intended to be
tendered by such Bondholder pursuant to the Offers. However, the Company is not obliged to allocate any New
Bonds to a Bondholder who has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender its Bonds for purchase
pursuant to the Offers and, if New Bonds are so allocated, the nominal amount thereof may be less or more than
the nominal amount of Bonds tendered by such Bondholder and accepted for purchase by the Company pursuant
to the Offers. Any such allocation will also, among other factors, take into account the minimum denomination of
the New Bonds (which will be €100,000).
All allocations of the New Bonds, while being considered by the Company as set out above, will be made in
accordance with customary new issue allocation processes and procedures. In the event that a Bondholder validly
tenders Bonds pursuant to the Offers, such Bonds will remain subject to such tender and the conditions of the
relevant Offer as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum irrespective of whether that Bondholder receives all,
part or none of any allocation of New Bonds for which it has applied.
Existing Bondholders should note that the pricing and allocation of the New Bonds are expected to take place
prior to the Expiration Deadline for the Offers, and any Bondholder who wishes to subscribe for New Bonds in
addition to tendering their Bonds for purchase pursuant to the Offers should therefore provide, as soon as
practicable, to the Company or any Dealer Manager, an indication of its firm intention to tender their Bonds for
purchase and the nominal amount of the Bonds that it intends to tender pursuant to the Offers.
Announcements
The Company intends to announce (i) a non-binding indication of the level at which it expects to set each Series
Final Acceptance Amount and (ii) indicative details of any Scaling Factor applicable to valid tenders of 2023
Bonds that will be applied in the event that the Company decides to accept valid tenders of 2023 Bonds pursuant
to the relevant Offer, in each case, prior to the Pricing Time on 1 June 2021.
The Company will then announce its decision of whether to accept (subject to satisfaction of the New Issue
Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date) valid tenders of Bonds pursuant to both or either of the Offers and,
if so accepted, each Series Final Acceptance Amount, each Purchase Yield, the 2022 Bonds Interpolated Mid-
Swap Rate, each Purchase Price and any Scaling Factor that will be applied to the 2023 Bonds, as applicable, as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Pricing Time.
Intention to exercise optional redemption right in respect of the 2022 Bonds
With respect to the 2022 Bonds, the Company currently expects to exercise, on a redemption date following the
Settlement Date, its right to redeem (pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2022 Bonds) any and all of the
2022 Bonds not purchased by the Company in the relevant Offer, if any, at the make-whole call redemption
amount to be calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2022 Bonds. Such make-whole call
redemption amount will be calculated by reference to the mid-swap rate for euro swap transactions (with no
spread) (all as described in more detail in the terms and conditions of the 2022 Bonds) and may be more or less
than the Purchase Price to be paid pursuant to the relevant Offer. However, there can be no assurance that any
2022 Bonds will be so redeemed. The relevant Offer does not constitute a notice of redemption under the optional
redemption provisions of the terms and conditions of the 2022 Bonds.
