The Board notes that, although resolution 9, to re-elect Pierre Bouchut, was passed with the necessary majority, 24.3% of votes received were
against. The negative vote is understood to be the mechanistic result of an over-boarding analysis; the Company is fully satisfied with Mr
Bouchut’s contribution and commitment of time to the Company both as Chair of the Audit Committee and as a Non-Executive Director.
However, the Company is engaging with shareholders to discuss their concerns.
The issued share capital of the Company as at 6.30pm on 24 April 2020 (the time by which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote
at the AGM were entered on the Register) was 766,293,613 ordinary shares.
Copies of the resolutions passed, other than the resolutions constituting ordinary business, at the AGM will shortly be available for inspection at
the National Storage Mechanism, which is located at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
A copy of the poll results for the Annual General Meeting is also available on the Hammerson plc website (www.hammerson.com).
The full text of the resolutions is set out in the Notice of Meeting which is also available at www.hammerson.com.
