DIRECTORATE CLARIFICATION

JD Sports Fashion Plc ('JD' or the 'Group') today provides an update on AGM
voting results announced on 27(th) June 2023 related to resolution 10 and the
re-election of non-executive director and member of the Remuneration
Committee, Mahbobeh Sabetnia.

Following the voting results, the Group committed to engaging with
shareholders to understand any ongoing concerns around Mahbobeh's re-election.
Having reviewed the matter, JD wishes to clarify the situation.

It is the Board's belief that the votes on this resolution were influenced by
a perceived low attendance of Mahbobeh at Remuneration Committee meetings. The
Board can confirm that this perception was not correct. Her appointment was
only for part of the year in question and during that time there was only one
meeting of the Remuneration Committee. This meeting was convened at short
notice and she was unable to attend due to a pre-existing meeting.

The Group is satisfied that Mahbobeh has acted in accordance with the
requirements of her position as a non-executive director and member of the
Remuneration Committee, and that her attendance at Remuneration Committee
meetings has been 100% so far this financial year.
