Hammerson CFO to retire

30 April 2026

Hammerson plc ("Hammerson" or the "Company") today announces that Himanshu
Raja has informed the Board of his intention to retire from his position as Chief
Financial Officer. He will step down as CFO and as a Director of the Company on 12
August 2026, following publication of the Company's results for the half-year ended
30 June 2026.

After five years as Hammerson's CFO and a career spanning 40 years with 15 years
as a listed company CFO, across a multitude of sectors, Himanshu has decided now
is the right time for him to retire.

Himanshu will remain employed by the Company for the next 12 months. During this
period, he will remain available to assist with an orderly transition. Richard Shaw,
Deputy CFO, will become Interim CFO when Himanshu steps down.

The Board will now commence a formal and thorough recruitment process to identify
a permanent successor for Himanshu, which will include consideration of internal
and external candidates. Further updates will be given in due course.
Rob Wilkinson, Chief Executive Officer of Hammerson, said, "Hammerson's FY25
results are a testament to the hard work and exceptional execution of the
Hammerson team over the last five years. Himanshu has been an outstanding CFO
over that period, leaving the Group well placed for the next phase of growth. I would
like to personally thank him for his support and continued commitment to
Hammerson's success."

Himanshu Raja, CFO of Hammerson, said, "When I look back at my time at
Hammerson, what stands out for me is the amazing people and the phenomenal
progress we have made together. I'm sincerely grateful to my colleagues, the
Executive team and the Board for their support throughout my time here. As I retire, I
leave with genuine confidence in the future of the business and its continued
success."

Robert Noel, Chair of Hammerson, said, "Over the past five years Himanshu has
been a valued member of the Hammerson Executive team and Board, supporting
the Company's turnaround and transformation and helping to strengthen
Hammerson's financial position. On behalf of the Board, I want to thank him for his
contribution to Hammerson's success and wish him the very best for the future."

The remuneration arrangements in relation to Himanshu's retirement from the
Company, which will be consistent with the Company's Remuneration Policy, will be
disclosed on the Company's website at the appropriate time in accordance with
section 430(2B) of the Companies Act 2006.
