Result of General Meeting
Further to the announcement dated 16 February 2023 which set out the Remuneration Committee's intention to adopt a new Growth Plan subject to shareholder approval (the "Growth Plan Announcement"), the Company announces that the ordinary resolution (the "Resolution") to approve the Growth Plan was passed on a poll at the General Meeting held earlier today, 8 March 2023.
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Growth Plan Announcement.
The votes cast at the General Meeting, including those in respect of shareholders who appointed the Chair of the General Meeting as their proxy, were as follows:
Votes for Votes against Votes withheld ---------------------- Number % Number % Number ------------ ------ ------------ ------ --------------- Ordinary Resolution: Adoption of the Growth Plan 513,125,462 62.61 306,495,031 37.39 88,969 ------------ ------ ------------ ------ ---------------
The Remuneration Committee will reflect on feedback gathered throughout the consultation process regarding the Growth Plan, and will continue to engage with shareholders with regard to the Group's remuneration policy to ensure that shareholder views are considered.
EBT Share Purchases
boohoo has irrevocably instructed the boohoo.com plc Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT") to purchase up to GBP10 million ordinary shares of GBP0.01 each in the capital of the Company ("boohoo Shares") to satisfy awards under the Growth Plan, in line with the settlement mechanics set out in the Circular and Notice of General Meeting (the "Circular") that was made available to shareholders on 17 February 2023.
Iain McDonald, Chairman of the Remuneration Committee, commented:
"The Growth Plan was designed with an intention to rebuild substantial shareholder value through the delivery of extremely ambitious targets, and it acts as a powerful retention, recruitment and incentivisation tool for all participants, resolutely aligning their interests with those of our shareholders. We followed a detailed consultation exercise with a number of our larger shareholders and we thank all of them very much for their engagement and contributions."
Mahmud Kamani, Executive Chairman of boohoo, commented:
"As boohoo's largest shareholder I wholeheartedly endorsed the Growth Plan, recognising the importance of aligning the interests of all shareholders with those of our hardworking boohoo colleagues. The value generated for shareholders would be some 25 times greater than the maximum award of the Plan, and I am therefore pleased that it is being implemented."
PDMR notifications
Following the passing of the Resolution at the General Meeting, as described in the Growth Plan Announcement, awards under the Growth Plan have been made to the following PDMRs, resulting in them being issued C ordinary shares in boohoo holdings limited ("C Shares"), an intermediary holding company of the Group, at an average cost of 797p per C Share (the price per C share is calculated for each tranche, the details of which are contained in the tables at the end of this announcement).
Participant Maximum potential award under the Growth Plan for reaching an implied Company market value of GBP5bn (1) -------------- ----------------------------- John Lyttle GBP50.0m -------------- ----------------------------- Shaun McCabe GBP25.0m -------------- ----------------------------- Carol Kane(2) GBP20.0m -------------- -----------------------------
1 A GBP5bn market capitalisation is based on the fifth and final tranche of the Growth Plan being achieved, with success measured on a 90-day average share price of or above 395p, and using the current issued share capital of the Company.
2 Carol Kane will not participate in any award from either tranche 1 or tranche 2.
Additional Related Party Transactions
The Growth Plan awards are divided into five tranches, each subject to a performance condition whereby a distinct 90-day average share price hurdle must be achieved within an overall five-year measurement period from the date of grant. The first two tranches (which have share price hurdles of 95p and 158p respectively) will vest on the first anniversary of the achievement of the relevant share price performance condition, and the next 3 tranches (which have share price hurdles of 237p, 316p and 395p respectively) will vest on the earlier of the third anniversary of the achievement of the relevant share price performance condition and 8 March 2029.
On the basis of full utilisation and full vesting, the Growth Plan could result in a maximum dilution of approximately 6.06 % for existing shareholders. Further detail on the Growth Plan is contained in the Growth Plan Announcement and is set out in the Circular which is available at www.boohooplc.com .
Following the implementation of the Growth Plan, further related party awards were made to a number of employees, including Paul Papworth, Tom Binns and Miles Rothbury, each of whom is considered a related party within the meaning of the AIM Rules for Companies by virtue of being a statutory director of a subsidiary company of the Group (the "Related Party Employees"). The maximum value of the potential award granted to each of Paul, Tom and Miles is GBP5.0m, GBP2.0m and GBP1.0m respectively (the "Additional Related Party Awards"). These awards each constituted a related party transaction and resulted in the Related Party Employees subscribing for 1,467, 587, and 293 C Shares respectively at an average cost of 797p per C Share, and could result in the issue of a maximum number of 2,266,065, 906,424, and 453,211 boohoo Shares respectively, if the Growth Plan is fully achieved.
The Independent Directors, being Brian Small, Iain McDonald and Tim Morris (who each also sit on the Remuneration Committee) and Kirsty Britz and Neil Catto, consider, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, Zeus Capital Limited ("Zeus"), that the terms of the Additional Related Party Awards are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. In providing advice to the Independent Directors, Zeus has taken into account the following:
-- the maximum dilution of 6.06% under the Growth Plan; -- the stretching targets ranging up to an implied market capitalisation of over GBP5.0 billion;
-- that the terms of the Growth Plan have been the subject of a shareholder consultation process;
-- that the adoption of the Growth Plan and the grant of awards under it was conditional on shareholder approval; and
-- the commercial assessments of the Independent Directors.
