N BROWN GROUP PLC - RESULTS OF AGM

The Board of Directors of N Brown Group plc (the "Company") announces that at its Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") held on Tuesday 6 July 2021 all resolutions were duly passed. Details of the resolutions are set out in full in the Notice of AGM circulated to shareholders on 11 June 2021. Copies are available to view and download on the Company's corporate website: https://www.nbrown.co.uk/investors/shareholder-information/agm

 

Given the delay in the lifting of the Government's Covid-19 restrictions and taking into account the constantly evolving nature of the pandemic and the guidance that was in force at the time of the AGM, the Board concluded that it remained appropriate to strongly urge shareholders not to attend the AGM in person this year.

Shareholders were recommended to appoint the Chair as their proxy to vote on the resolutions set out in the notice of meeting. Shareholders were also invited to submit questions on the Annual Report and Accounts and AGM resolution via email ahead of the meeting.

A poll was held on each of the resolutions proposed; all resolutions were passed by the required majority. Resolutions 1 to 15 (inclusive) were passed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions 16 and 17 were passed as special resolutions.

The results of votes cast for each resolution were as follows:

Notes:

1.  As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 460,483,231 ordinary shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 460,483,231.

2.  The scrutineer of the voting was Link Asset Services, the Company's Share Registrar.

3.  Note that a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and such votes have not been included in the calculation of votes 'for' and 'against' each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total above.
