Disposal of Italie Deux and Italik

Hammerson announces that it has completed the disposal of its 25% stake in Italie Deux, a 62,000m2
shopping centre in central Paris, and 100% of the 6,500m2 Italik extension for cash consideration of
€164m to Ingka Centres via a simultaneous exchange and completion. This represents a 4% discount to
31 December 2022 book value and a net equivalent yield of 5.0%(1 ).

The exit marks the continued progress in the simplification of the Company’s portfolio. The proceeds will
further strengthen the balance sheet and reduce net debt.

Together with the £195m of disposals completed in 2022, the Group has generated total proceeds of
c.£360m against the Company’s commitment of £500m of disposals by the end of 2023.

On a pro forma basis and including other disposals, headline LTV improves to 36%(2 ), FPC LTV to 45%(2 ),
and net debt/EBITDA to 9.4x(2 ).

Hammerson has its primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and secondary inward listings on
the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and Euronext Dublin.
