record date is therefore Friday, 19 November 2021 for persons to be included onto the UK
Principal register and Thursday, 18 November 2021 for persons to be entered onto the South

As at the date of this document, the Company is permitted to conduct the General Meeting
as an in person meeting. The Company will follow all applicable guidance and best practice
in connection with the General Meeting to ensure the health and safety of those in
attendance. The Board encourages Shareholders to consider carefully whether it is
appropriate for them to travel to and attend the General Meeting in person. Shareholders
are encouraged to monitor the Company's website (www.hammerson.com/investors) where
any changes to the arrangements described in this document will be set out.

Shareholders are entitled to vote by way of proxy in advance of the General Meeting. It is

Registrar by no later than 9:00 a.m. (London time) and 11:00 a.m. (SA time) on Tuesday, 23
November 2021. Shareholders on the UK Register can obtain a copy of the UK Form of Proxy
from the Company's UK Registrar, Link Group. Shareholders on the SA Register can obtain a
copy of the SA Form of Proxy from the SA Transfer Secretaries, Computershare Investor
Services. See the notes to the Notice of General Meeting for more information.
The Board is committed to Shareholder engagement. Shareholders who wish to put a
question to the Board relating to the business to be conducted at the General Meeting
should email investorrelations@hammerson.com in advance of the General Meeting. The
Company encourages Shareholders to submit questions by 9:00 a.m. (London time) on
Friday, 19 November 2021 and the Company will endeavour to respond in advance of the
proxy voting deadline on Tuesday, 23 November 2021 at 9:00 a.m. (London time) and 11:00
a.m. (South African Standard Time). Where questions are received after 9:00 a.m. (London
time) on Friday, 19 November 2021 the Company will respond as soon as practicable. The
Company reserves the right to consolidate questions of a similar nature. The Company is not
required to answer questions if: doing so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the
General Meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information; the answer has already
been given on the Company’s website in the form of an answer to a question; or it is
undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the General Meeting that
the question be answered.
