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

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.

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.
