ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2022 - VOTING RESULTS

At the Annual General Meeting of JD Sports Fashion Plc (the "Company" or
"Group") held on 22 July 2022 at the offices of Addleshaw Goddard LLP, One St.
Peter's Square, Manchester, M2 3DE, all resolutions as set out in the Notice
of Annual General Meeting were duly passed on a poll by the requisite
majorities.

In accordance with the Listing Rule 9.6.2, a copy of all resolutions passed at
the meeting (not relating to ordinary business) has been submitted to the
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) .

The full text of all resolutions can be found in the Notice of Annual General
Meeting, which is available on the Company's website at www.jdplc.com
(http://www.jdplc.com) .

 

The full poll voting results (including the results of the votes by
independent shareholders in respect of Resolutions 6 to 10) can also be found
on the Company's website at www.jdplc.com (http://www.jdplc.com) .

 

Andrew Higginson was appointed by the Board as Chair of the Group with effect
from 11 July 2022. In accordance with the Company's articles of association,
Mr Higginson was not required to retire at the AGM having been appointed to
the Board following the posting of the Notice of Annual General Meeting. He
will first be required to retire at the Company's 2023 AGM.

 

The Board recognises the lower levels of support for the resolution to approve
the Remuneration Report (72.3%) but notes that this resolution has received
more support than at the AGM in 2021 (68.5%). It is encouraging that many of
the Company's shareholders have recognised the progress that is being made in
this regard. The Board is committed to maintaining the dialogue with
shareholders in order to understand any ongoing concerns they may have around
executive remuneration. This process will be led by the new chair of the
Remuneration Committee, Suzi Williams, who will meet with shareholders over
the coming months to better understand their views ahead of a full
remuneration policy review. The Board is committed to ensuring a rigorous and
transparent remuneration approach which is fully aligned with both our
stakeholders and best practice.

 

We will provide an update on progress within the next six months.
