RNS Number : 7357M  Frasers Group PLC  25 May 2022

Date: 25 May 2022

 

FRASERS GROUP PLC

DISPOSAL OF BOBS & EMS

Frasers Group plc ("FG" or "The Group") confirms that it has disposed of its
US retail businesses trading as Bobs Stores ("Bobs") and Eastern Mountain
Sports ("EMS") for a cash consideration of $70m to GoDigital Media Group
("GDMG"). These funds will go into the Group's general working capital pool.

The Bobs and EMS store estate does not include any of the new elevated stores
which are core to the FG Elevation strategy. The disposal of these non-core
businesses allows FG to have an even greater focus on delivering its Elevation
strategy by focusing on store experience, digital and product.

The board of FG is grateful to staff in Bobs and EMS for their loyal service
and wishes these businesses every success for the future.

Ends.
