THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION.

Response to press speculation
Hammerson plc (the "Company") notes recent press speculation.
Hammerson's strategy remains to realign the portfolio to focus on prime urban estates through disposals of non-core assets, to strengthen the balance sheet, and to re-cycle capital into its core portfolio and its development pipeline.
The Company confirms that it is in discussions with entities related to Redical Holdings AG on terms for a possible sale of its Victoria Gate and Victoria Quarter shopping centres.
There can be no certainty that a transaction will take place, but the Company confirms the pricing under discussion is £120m, which would represent a class 2 transaction. The Company will provide a further announcement if appropriate.

This announcement has also been released on the SENS system of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and on Euronext Dublin.
