Hammerson acquires remaining 50% stake in Westquay

7 November 2024

Hammerson today announces the completion of the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in
Westquay for £135m (the "Transaction"). This gives the Company a 100% interest in a leading retail
and leisure destination situated in the heart of the South Coast, which is A rated by Green Street.

The consideration will be funded by the proceeds received from Hammerson's recent disposal of its
stake in Value Retail.

Rita-Rose Gagné, CEO of Hammerson, commented:

"This transaction is in line with our stated strategy. Combined with our recently enhanced funding
position and disciplined approach to capital allocation, we are well placed to deliver growth and
value creation".
