2022 Annual General Meeting Voting Outcome Update

 

 

As announced on 12 July 2022, Burberry Group plc received more than 20% votes
against the re-election of Antoine de Saint-Affrique as a Director of the
Company at the 2022 Annual General Meeting.

 

The Board was disappointed with the outcome of the vote and has actively
engaged with significant shareholders who voted against Antoine's re-election
to understand their concerns.

 

Antoine is a committed and engaged Director whose skills and experience enable
him to bring a particularly valuable perspective to Board matters.  Antoine
has consistently fulfilled his obligations as a Director including during
exceptionally demanding periods and the Board believes that he has the
capacity to continue to devote sufficient time to effectively discharge his
duties.

 

The Board will continue to engage with shareholders to understand and respond
to their views on this matter and will provide a further update in the Annual
Report and Accounts 2022/23.
