GENERAL MEETING - PROXY VOTE UPDATE
On 1 March 2019, Superdry received a request (the 'Request') from Julian Dunkerton ('Mr Dunkerton') and James Holder ('Mr Holder') (through their nominees HSBC Global Custody Nominee (UK) Limited and Diagonal Nominees Limited) under section 303 of the Companies Act 2006 (the 'Act') that the Company convene a general meeting to consider resolutions to elect Mr Dunkerton and Peter Williams ('Mr Williams') as directors of the Company (the 'Resolutions').
The Resolutions are to be put to the general meeting today. At the commencement of the general meeting the following indication of the number and percentage of votes for and against the Resolutions and the number of votes withheld, together with the total number of votes cast by way of proxy vote ahead of 10.30 am on 2 April 2019, was provided to the meeting.
The final outcome of the general meeting will be declared by a regulatory news service announcement that will be issued once the voting process has concluded following the counting of the votes cast at the general meeting itself.
