*   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 (http://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
(https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism) .
