RE: Shareholder Letter in the post22 Nov 2024 11:47
Some assurances I had missed from the Open letter from Ashley.
This legal opinion also contains a protocol that clearly addresses any potential conflicts
of interest concerns that may arise from Mr. Ashley’s appointment to the Board. This
protocol includes that, for so long as Mr. Ashley is on the Board, Mr. Ashley is willing
to agree that he will not:
o provide any confidential information he receives in his capacity as a director of
boohoo to any employee, officer or director of Frasers;
o take on any board position at Frasers;
o participate in any discussions of the board of Frasers or Frasers’ executives regarding
boohoo or its business; and
o take on any board position at any competitor of boohoo.
• Frasers’ view is that the Board raised alleged governance and competition law concerns
as an excuse not to appoint Mr. Ashley as a director of boohoo, and not because there
are any actual issues. The advice, which is unequivocal, confirms this regarding
competition law and Frasers is confident that it has similarly addressed all
governance and conflicts concerns.
• Frasers has also today responded to boohoo’s legal advisers addressing the questions
raised by them.
