Intention to cease future dividend payments by cheque
The Company intends to cease issuing cheques for dividend payments with effect from the Interim
2025 Dividend.
All subsequent dividend payments will be paid electronically by bank transfer only.
As part of this process, shareholders are required to register their bank account details with the
Company's Registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets ("MUFG"), either via the Investor Centre portal
(https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/Login/Login), or via one of the other methods as
detailed under section 3 of the Chequeless Dividend Q&A, available on the Company's website
at www.hammerson.com/investors/dividend.
Notes:
1. The removal of shares to and from the UK principal register and the SA branch register will
not be permitted between Wednesday, 3 September 2025 to Friday, 5 September 2025, both
dates inclusive.
2. Shareholders registered on the SA branch register should note that, in accordance with the
requirements of Strate, no dematerialisation or rematerialisation of shares will be possible
from Wednesday, 3 September 2025 to Friday, 5 September 2025, both dates inclusive.
3. Shareholders registered on the SA branch register will be paid in SA Rand.
4. The information below is intended as a general guide only and is based on Hammerson
Plc's understanding of the law and practice currently in force. Any shareholder who is in any
doubt as to their tax position should seek independent professional advice.
The Interim 2025 Dividend should be regarded as a 'foreign dividend' for SA income tax and
dividends tax purposes.
A 20% UK withholding tax is applicable to the Interim 2025 dividend as it will be paid as a PID.
After payment of the PID South African shareholders may apply to HMRC for a refund of the
difference between the 20 percent UK withholding tax and the UK/South African Double Tax
Treaty rate of 15%, i.e. 5% of the tax withheld.
The Interim 2025 cash dividend will be exempt from SA income tax but it will be subject to SA
Dividends Tax as it will be declared in respect of a share listed on the exchange operated by
the JSE. SA Dividends Tax will apply to the Interim 2025 cash dividend, at a rate of 20%,
unless the beneficial owner of the dividend is exempt from SA Dividends Tax or qualifies for
a reduction of the SA Dividends Tax liability to 5% (if they can claim a credit for the effective
15% UK withholding tax suffered against the 20% SA Dividends Tax rate). The applicability
of the exemption or reduced rate will be subject to the prescribed requirements for effecting
the exemption or reduction being in place by the requisite date.
5. Those shareholders who hold their shares on the UK principal register and already participate
in the DRIP need not complete a DRIP mandate form for each dividend as such forms provide
an ongoing authority to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing or online at
https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/Login/Login. If you are unsure whether you have
submitted a DRIP election you can check your account online at:
https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/Login/Login. Alternatively, you can contact the UK
Registrar, MUFG, by email at Shares.uk@cm.mpms.mufg.com or by phone on 0371 664 0300
or +44 (0) 371 664 0300 from overseas. Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate
and will vary by provider. Calls from outside the UK will be charged at the applicable
international rate. Lines are open between 9.00 am and 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding
public holidays in England and Wales.
6. Shareholders on the UK principal register who wish to participate in the DRIP should complete
an application form online at: https://uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com/Login/Login.
7. Shareholders registered on the SA branch register who hold their shares through the Strate
system and who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact their CSDP or Broker.
8. As at Wednesday, 30 July 2025, being the declaration date of the Interim 2025 Dividend, the
Company had a total of 483,911,778 ordinary shares in issue, with 1,300,825 of those ordinary
shares held in Treasury.
9. The dates above are subject to change. Any changes made will be communicated as soon as
practicably possible.
10. The Board retains the discretion to withdraw or modify the terms of the Interim 2025 Dividend
at any time, because there are certain situations in which the Board may decide that it is no
longer appropriate to pay the Interim 2025 Dividend, or it may not be permissible for the
Company to do so.
