The Hammerson Scrip Dividend Scheme – Distribution of Circular to Shareholders
As previously announced on 25 July 2016 and further to an announcement on 2 September 2016, the Company
has declared an interim dividend of 10.1p (the "Interim Dividend") which will be paid on 10 October 2016 to
shareholders on the Company register at the close of business on 26 August 2016 ("Record Date").
Shareholders who acquired ordinary shares in the Company after the Record Date, which would include all
shareholders who acquired ordinary shares in the Company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “JSE”)
following the Company's listing on the JSE on 1 September 2016 (the “Secondary Listing”), may not participate
in the Interim Dividend. Shareholders who held ordinary shares in the Company on the Record Date and who
migrated all or a portion of that shareholding to the JSE following the Secondary Listing will be entitled to
participate in the Interim Dividend, but such dividend will be paid in Pound Sterling in terms of payment
instructions that were in place as at the Record Date.
The Company also announced that it would again be offering shareholders the opportunity to participate in the
Hammerson Scrip Dividend Scheme ("Scheme"). Shareholders electing to participate in the Scheme (including
shareholders who held ordinary shares in the Company on the Record Date and who migrated all or a portion of
that shareholding to the JSE following the Secondary Listing) will, for the Interim Dividend, receive new ordinary
shares in the Company listed on the London Stock Exchange (the "LSE") instead of cash. An equivalent number
of new shares that will be listed on the LSE pursuant to the Scheme will also be listed on the JSE.
In relation to the Scheme, the Company announces that the following documents have today been distributed to
shareholders:
- Scheme circular ("Circular"); and
- Scheme mandate form ("Mandate").
The Circular has been uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection
at www.morningstar.co.uk/UK/NSM.
A guide containing the terms and conditions of the Scheme is available on the Company's website. The Circular
and Mandate will also be available on the Company's website, www.hammerson.com/investors.
Hammerson has its primary listing on the LSE and a secondary inward listing on the JSE. Joint sponsors to
Hammerson's secondary inward listing on the JSE are Deutsche Securities (SA) Proprietary Limited and Java
Capital.
This announcement has also been released on the Regulatory News Service of the LSE.
