ACQUISITION OF MISSGUIDED

Frasers Group plc ("FG" or "The Group") announces that it has acquired certain intellectual property of the online women's fashion retailer, Missguided Limited  (in administration), Mennace Limited (in administration) and Missguided (IP) Limited for a cash consideration of £20 million. Following completion, the business will be operated by the administrator under a transitional agreement for a period of approximately 8 weeks. It is then the intention that Missguided will operate as a standalone business within the Group.

Michael Murray, Chief Executive of Frasers Group, commented: "We are delighted to secure a long-term future for Missguided, which will benefit from the strength and scale of FG's platform and our operational excellence. Missguided's digital-first approach to the latest trends in women's fashion will bring additional expertise to the wider Frasers Group."
