boohoo group plc (AIM: BOO) announces that it has decided to withdraw Resolution 3 from the agenda of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Company's shareholders to be held at 10.00am on Thursday, 20 June 2024.

The numbering of all other proposed resolutions at the AGM remains unchanged. Arrangements for the AGM are unchanged from those previously notified.

The Executive Directors have also opted to waive their entire bonus entitlement for the financial year ended 29 February 2024. The Company has published a restated disclosure of the Directors' single-figure total remuneration for the year ended 29 February 2024 on the Company's website https://www.boohooplc.com/investors/results-centre/year/2024.htm.
