INTRODUCTION Hammerson is a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) based in the United Kingdom (“UK”) that owns, manages and develops prime retail destinations in Western Europe. The Company’s portfolio of high-quality retail and leisure assets is located in growing markets and attracts around 280 million visitors per year and as at 30 June 2016 the Group’s properties were valued at £9.0 billion. The portfolio comprises 40 vibrant shopping centres and retail parks across the UK, France and Ireland as well as 15 premium outlets located in 12 European countries. The property portfolio is well-let (30 June 2016 occupancy of 97.2%) to a diverse mix of leading retailers with almost 4,500 tenants and has a stable income profile with a weighted average lease length to expiry of 8 years. With a depth of real estate and retail experience across its management team, Hammerson actively manages its properties to drive rental growth leading to a consistent track-record of earnings and dividend growth. Hammerson has its primary listing on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc (“LSE”) and is included on the UK FTSE 100 Index. As at the date of this announcement, the current market capitalisation of the Company is approximately £4.7 billion (R88 billion). The LSE is an “accredited exchange” as defined in paragraph 18.42 of the Listings Requirements of the exchange operated by the JSE Limited (“JSE”) (the “JSE Listings Requirements”). The Company is not listed on any other exchange. The JSE has granted approval to Hammerson for a secondary listing, by way of introduction under the fast-track listing process contemplated in Section 18 of the JSE Listings Requirements, of all of its 791 879 155 issued and fully paid ordinary shares of 25 pence each (“Ordinary Shares”) on the Main Board of the JSE in the “Retail REITs” sector, under the abbreviated name “HAMMERSON”, JSE share code “HMN” and ISIN “GB0004065016”, with effect from the commencement of trade on Thursday, 1 September 2016 (the “Listing Date”) (the “Secondary Listing”). The Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank has approved the Secondary Listing and classified the secondary inward listed Ordinary Shares as “domestic” for exchange control purposes. Accordingly, South African resident investors may trade the Ordinary Shares on the JSE without having recourse to their foreign portfolio allowance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
