*Special Resolution
Notes
1. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman of
the AGM have been included in the "For" total for the appropriate
resolution.
2. Votes "For" and "Against" any resolution are expressed as a
percentage of votes validly cast for that resolution.
3. A "Vote withheld" is not a vote in law and is not counted in
the calculation of the percentage of shares voted "For" or
"Against".
4. The number of shares in issue on 22 June 2023 was 1,268,444,763 with no shares in treasury.
The Board notes that while Resolution 2 was approved, which gave
shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on the
Directors Remuneration Report for the year ended 28 February 2023,
32.48% of the votes cast were votes against Resolution 2.
Over the coming months, the Board will reflect on the result of
Resolution 2, and the Remuneration Committee looks forward to
ongoing engagement with the Group's shareholders as it continues to
shape the Group's future remuneration policy.
The full text of the resolutions is set out in the Notice of
Meeting dated 19 May 2023 which is available at www.boohooplc.com
.
Update on Trading
The Group's execution of its Back to growth strategy continues
apace and guidance remains unchanged from that issued previously in
May, with an expectation to return to profitable growth in the
second half of the financial year as a result of the anticipated
benefits from investments being made across price, product and
proposition. This is expected to improve Adjusted EBITDA year on
year and the Group continues to focus on maintaining its strong
balance sheet.
