Hammerson - Full-Year Results Interview With CEO

LONDON, February 22, 2010 - Real estate group Hammerson said it had posted "resilient" full-year
results despite volatile markets in 2009.

In an interview on broadcaster www.cantos.com, CEO David Atkins
underlines his commitment to maintain the geographic and sectoral balance of
Hammerson's portfolio and comments on the health of the retail environment.

Reporting his first set of full-year results, Mr Atkins cautions the
level of debt secured against commercial property remains high and the
prospect of the quantitative easing being withdrawn is also a threat.
