What this filing means
Hammerson has disposed of £69m of non-core assets (Dublin holdings and a further investment) at what it calls a substantial premium to book value, and deployed the proceeds to acquire the remaining 50% of the Ilac shopping destination in Dublin, taking full control.

Bear case
- The Ilac acquisition price is not disclosed, leaving investors unable to judge whether the described 'recycling' of £75m proceeds is genuinely value-accretive or simply a like-for-like swap (A5).
