While Hammerson declared an interim dividend for its latest half-year financial results, the group was criticised by Resilient previously for not paying out a dividend for the second half of the UK counter's 2022 financial year. Hammerson's H1 2023 dividend is set to be paid out on 2 October 2023, according to the group. Hammerson is a London-headquartered Reit that owns, manages and develops retail centres in the UK, Ireland and France. It is listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange and has a secondary listing on the JSE. Resilient said the Hammerson disposals, when aggregated, are classified as a category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and as such are not subject to shareholder approval. The group invested around R732 million in Hammerson last year, so the recent share disposals in the UK group – totalling over R980 million – represent a notable return on the back of Hammerson's shares surging over 24% year to date.
