Hammerson acquires remaining 50% stake in Westquay

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.

"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".
