The Company announces that the following documents have today been posted or
otherwise made available to shareholders:
- Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the
“2020 Annual Report”);
- Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting;
- Circular relating to the proposed enhanced scrip dividend alternative (the
"Enhanced Scrip Dividend Alternative"); and
- Form of Proxy (South Africa).
The above documents have been uploaded to the National Storage Mechanism and will
shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. The documents have also been
submitted to Euronext Dublin.
The 2020 Annual Report, Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting, Circular relating to the
Enhanced Scrip Dividend Alternative and Form of Proxy (South Africa) are also available on
the Company’s website at www.hammerson.com.
The announcement released on Friday, 12 March 2021 by the Company regarding the
audited results for the year ended 31 December 2020 includes the information required by
DTR 6.3.5 and Regulation 33(5)(b)(ii) of the Irish Transparency Regulations 2007 (as
amended) to be communicated to the media in unedited full text through a Regulated
Information Service.
The 2021 Annual General Meeting (the “Meeting”) will be held at 8.30 am (BST) on Tuesday,
4 May 2021 at Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9GE. Only persons entered on the UK
Principal register of shareholders of the Company at 6.30 pm on Thursday, 29 April 2021 shall
be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. For shareholders on the South Africa Branch
register, the record date for the purpose of determining which shareholders are entitled to
participate in and vote at the Meeting is Friday, 23 April 2021. The last day to trade in the
Company’s shares in order to be recorded as a shareholder by the voting record date is
therefore Tuesday, 27 April 2021 for persons to be included onto the UK Principal register
and Tuesday, 20 April 2021 for persons to be entered onto the South Africa Branch register.
Given the prevailing UK Government regulations and guidance in relation to Covid-19 as at
the date of the printing of the Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting, it is highly likely that
shareholder attendance at the Meeting will either be unlawful or significantly curtailed. As
a result, the Company is proposing that the Meeting be convened with the minimum
quorum of shareholders present (which will be facilitated by the Company) in order to
conduct the business of the Meeting.
Even if attendance is permitted under the prevailing regulations and guidance at the time,
the health and safety of our shareholders and colleagues is vitally important to us and so
we are strongly encouraging shareholders not to attend the Meeting and instead to vote
by proxy on the resolutions set out in the Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting as early as
possible.
In these exceptional circumstances, the Board continues to recognise the value in
maintaining engagement with the Company’s shareholders. In order to facilitate this, a
shareholder engagement session is being held electronically on Wednesday, 14 April 2021
at 2.00 pm (BST).
Whilst shareholders will be able to ask questions at the event itself, shareholders are
encouraged to submit any questions in advance by email to
investorrelations@hammerson.com to enable the Board to answer questions more fully and
efficiently.
Details of how shareholders can register and attend the engagement session are included
in the Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting.
