Result of Annual General Meeting ("AGM")

boohoo.com plc announces that all resolutions were passed at the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 23 June 2017.

Resolution 11 sought authorisation to buy back up to 10% of issued share capital as at 17 May 2017 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the AGM notice). This was conditional on independent shareholders approving a whitewash resolution (Resolution 12), on a poll, pursuant to Rule 9 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers.  The Company confirms that Resolution 12 was passed on a poll with the results being as follows: 313,345,521 votes (73.98%) for, 110,212,671 votes (26.02%) against and 428,135,387 votes withheld.

Following the passing of Resolution 12, the Concert Party (as defined in the AGM Circular) remains unchanged at, in aggregate, 442,798,281 Ordinary Shares, representing 38.57% of the issued share capital of the Company. If the Board were to exercise the authority pursuant to resolution 11, in whole or in part, and cancel the Ordinary Shares acquired or put those into treasury, then the shareholding of the Concert Party would proportionately increase, up to a possible maximum of 42.76% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The full text of the resolutions is set out in the Notice of Meeting dated 22 May 2017 which is available at www.boohooplc.com.
