Resolution 18 was a special resolution seeking authority to make market purchases of the Company's own shares. Resolution 19 was a special resolution relating to the Company's ability to call a General Meeting, other than AGMs, on 14 clear days' notice. Although the Board considered the flexibility afforded by these authorities to be in the best interests of the Company, it took the decision to withdraw Resolutions 18 and 19 from the agenda of the AGM, following further engagement with some of the Company's shareholders. The Company will continue its engagement with shareholders on the resolutions.
ASOS Chair, Natasja Laheij, commented on the vote:
''We are pleased that all resolutions put to the meeting were supported by a significant majority of shareholders. We remain committed to the transformation strategy the management team is implementing. ASOS made meaningful progress against its plans in FY25, and we are confident in our continued progress in the year ahead. We will continue to engage in constructive dialogue with shareholders, with a clear focus on driving long‑term shareholder value.''
Full details of the resolutions are available in the Notice of Annual General Meeting on the Company's website: www.asosplc.com.
As at the date of the AGM, the Company's issued and fully paid share capital consists of 119,613,848 Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of 3.5 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 119,613,848.
