The Resolutions passed at the General Meeting enable the Directors to proceed with the proposed
Interim 2020 Dividend and Enhanced Scrip Dividend Alternative, as set out in the Circular. Cash
payments in respect of the Interim 2020 Dividend and the date of issue, admission and first day of
dealings in New Shares on the London Stock Exchange and Johannesburg Stock Exchange is expected
to be 18 December 2020.

The Board retains the discretion to withdraw or modify the terms of the Enhanced Scrip Dividend
Alternative and the Interim 2020 Dividend, because there are certain situations in which the Board may
decide that it is no longer appropriate to pay the Interim 2020 Dividend and to offer the Enhanced Scrip
Dividend Alternative, or it may not be permissible for the Company to do so.

A copy of the Resolutions passed at the General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage
Mechanism in accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R .

A copy of the poll results for the General Meeting is also available on the Hammerson plc website
