* A vote withheld is not
a vote in law and is not counted in the votes for or against a
resolution
**Passed as a special
resolution
Resolutions 18 and 19 related to the
disapplication of pre-emption rights in respect of the allotment of
equity securities for cash. Although the Board considered the
flexibility afforded by these authorities to be in the best
interests of the Company with limits in line with the Pre-Emption
Group's 2022 Statement of Principles, it took the decision to
withdraw Resolutions 18 and 19 from the agenda for the AGM,
following feedback from some of the Company's shareholders since
the publication of the notice of AGM. The Company will engage with
shareholders on this topic.
Full details of the resolutions
are available in the Notice of Annual General Meeting on the
Company's website: www.asosplc.com.
As at the date of the AGM, the
Company's issued and fully paid share capital consists of
119,357,912 Ordinary Shares with a
nominal value of 3.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with one
voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary
Shares in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the
Company is therefore 119,357,912.
In accordance with Listing Rule
9.6.2 copies of the resolutions (other than those relating to
ordinary business) will be submitted to the FCA National Storage Mechanism and
will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
