SAYE Share Scheme 2025 and Director Dealing

Debenhams Group (AIM:DEBS) announces the grant of options to employees as
part of its Save As You Earn ('SAYE') share scheme for 2025. The scheme was
open to all employees, giving them the opportunity to participate in the
future growth of Debenhams Group via share option arrangements.

Eligible employees were invited to subscribe for options over ordinary shares
of 1 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") with an exercise price
of 9.75 pence, representing a 19.15% discount to the closing market price of
the Ordinary Shares on 9 October 2025 when the scheme was launched. These
options have a contract start date of 1 January 2026 and are exercisable
between 1 January 2029 and 30 June 2029.

A total of 211 employees elected to participate and, pursuant to these
elections, options were granted over a total of 16,792,846 Ordinary Shares,
equating to 1.20% of the current issued share capital. Exercise of these
options will be satisfied by the Employee Benefit Trust and there is no
dilutive impact on shareholders.

Dan Finley, Chief Executive Officer and Phil Ellis, Chief Financial Officer,
are participants in the Company's SAYE scheme and are included in the total
figures above. Dan and Phil's individual option grants pursuant to this year's
SAYE scheme are in respect of 187,179 Ordinary Shares each. Further details
are set out in the below notification, made in accordance with the
requirements of the UK Market Abuse Regulation.
