Mar 16, 2012

16 March 2012

This document is important and requires your immediate attention. If you are in any doubt as to what action you should take you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other financial adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

If you have sold or otherwise transferred all of your shares in Hammerson plc, please send this letter as soon as possible to the purchaser or transferee, or to the stockbroker, bank or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected for delivery to the purchaser or transferee.

Dear Shareholder

Communications with shareholders

Please find attached a form which you can use to select how to receive future shareholder communications from Hammerson plc. You can choose to receive documents and information via the Company's website, www.hammerson.com, rather than receiving them by post. We would prefer to send you an email advising you that such documents are available on the website, or we can post a letter advising you that they are available. Reducing the quantity of statutory communications that many of our shareholders may not want in printed form reduces our environmental impact and also saves costs in printing and postage.

However, we fully recognise that electronic communication may not be the preferred choice for some shareholders, and those who wish to continue to receive printed paper copies will be able to do so.

If we do not hear from you within 28 days (by 13 April 2012), we will assume that you are happy to access shareholder communications via the website and to be notified by post when a document is available on the website. However, as mentioned above, we hope that you will want to receive this notification by email.

Please see overleaf for further information on electronic communications with shareholders and the options available to you.

✁

Yours faithfully

Sarah Booth

General Counsel and Company Secretary

Please see overleaf for further information and the above mentioned form.

HOW WILL YOU KNOW WHEN NEW DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WEB?

To ensure that you are kept up to date with communications, we will notify you when any shareholder documents are published on the website.

HOW WILL YOU BE NOTIFIED?

You can be notified by post or by email:

1. Notification by email

We would like to communicate by email with as many of our shareholders as possible because this ensures documents are received in a timely manner and reduces the cost of communications.

If you would like to receive notifications by email from now on, please either visit www.capitashareportal.com and register online for electronic communications or complete and return the form below in the reply-paid envelope.

2. Notification by post

If you would like to receive postal notification when new documents are available on the web, then no further action is required.

Please note that there may be particular circumstances in which Hammerson is required to send documents to you in paper form, rather than by publishing on the web, in which case the Company reserves the right to do so.

CAN YOU CONTINUE TO RECEIVE DOCUMENTS IN PAPER FORM?

3. Paper documents

If you prefer to continue to receive all documents from us in paper form rather than via a website, you will need to complete the form below and return it in the reply-paid envelope.

CAN YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND AND REVERT TO RECEIVING PAPER FORM DOCUMENTS?

You have the right to change your mind at any time and request that documents be sent to you in paper form. Your election can be changed at www.capitashareportal.com or by emailing ecomms@capitaregistrars.com.

You will also have the right to request a copy of any particular document which has been published on the website without giving up your right generally to receive documents via a website, by writing to Capita Registrars, Shareholder Administration Support, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 9ZA or emailing the above address.

Make your choice here and return it within 28 days (by 13 April 2012).
