Update statement relating to the voting results of the 2025 Annual General
Meeting

 

Our Board of Directors would like to express its thanks to our shareholders
for their continued support of B&M, including through their high levels of
participation in the Company's Annual General Meeting held on 22 July 2025
("2025 AGM").

 

We were pleased that all resolutions were passed at our 2025 AGM, with most of
them supported by over 95% of shareholders' votes cast. It was noted that
certain shareholders voted against the Board's recommendation in relation to
resolution 21 and resolution 22, which, in line with the Statement of
Principles on Dis-applying Pre-Emption Rights most recently published by the
Pre-Emption Group, authorise the Board to (i) issue shares representing up to
10% of the issued share capital on a non-pre-emptive basis; and (ii) issue
shares representing up to an additional 10% of the issued share capital on a
non-pre-emptive basis for capital investments.

 

The views of our shareholders are a critical component in our approach to good
corporate governance. As such, the Company subsequently engaged with these
shareholders to ensure their views are fully understood with respect to these
changes and their concerns are taken into consideration by the Board in future
determinations in these matters. We are continuing our dialogue with
shareholders and will be reviewing the Company's approach to pre-emption as an
outcome of those discussions, while also being mindful to ensure that the
Company's approach to the disapplication of pre-emption rights continues to
balance the long-term interests of the Company, its shareholders and all
stakeholders.

 

Further updates on this and other shareholder engagement activities will be
included in our FY26 Annual Report and Accounts, which will be published after
the release of the Company's full-year results in summer 2026.
