THAT the Company's name be changed from boohoo group plc to Debenhams Group PLC. 677,284,764 62.04 414,359,454 37.96 1,091,644,218 78.12 242,263

For reference, Frasers Group owns 413,477,211 ordinary shares in boohoo.                                         

The Board welcomes the support of the majority of shareholders who voted, and followed the recommendations of the investor advisory services, Institutional Shareholders Services (ISS) and Glass, Lewis & Co.

It is no surprise to the Board that Frasers, a major competitor of the Group, has voted against the resolution, and continues to act in its own self-interest.

Whilst the resolution was not passed, we continue forward as Debenhams Group. Concurrent with the new strategy, the Company's stock market TIDM will become "DEBS" from 8:00am on Monday 31 March 2025.

Dan Finley, Chief Executive Officer, said:

"Debenhams is back, and we continue to move forward as Debenhams Group.

"The successful turnaround of Debenhams is the blueprint for the turnaround of the wider Group.

"Our best days are ahead of us and I am excited for our future."
