N BROWN GROUP PLC - RESULTS OF AGM
The Board of Directors of N Brown Group plc (the "Company")
announces that at its Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") held on
Tuesday 6 July 2021 all resolutions were duly passed. Details of
the resolutions are set out in full in the Notice of AGM circulated
to shareholders on 11 June 2021. Copies are available to view and
download on the Company's corporate website:

Given the delay in the lifting of the Government's Covid-19
restrictions and taking into account the constantly evolving nature
of the pandemic and the guidance that was in force at the time of
the AGM, the Board concluded that it remained appropriate to
strongly urge shareholders not to attend the AGM in person this
year.
Shareholders were recommended to appoint the Chair as their
proxy to vote on the resolutions set out in the notice of meeting.
Shareholders were also invited to submit questions on the Annual
Report and Accounts and AGM resolution via email ahead of the
meeting.
A poll was held on each of the resolutions proposed; all
resolutions were passed by the required majority. Resolutions 1 to
15 (inclusive) were passed as ordinary resolutions and resolutions
16 and 17 were passed as special resolutions.
The results of votes cast for each resolution were as
follows:

Notes:
1. As at the date of the AGM, the Company had 460,483,231
ordinary shares in issue. The Company did not hold any shares in
treasury and therefore the number of total voting rights as at the
date of the AGM was 460,483,231.
2. The scrutineer of the voting was Link Asset Services, the Company's Share Registrar.
3. Note that a 'vote withheld' is not a vote in law and such
votes have not been included in the calculation of votes 'for' and
'against' each resolution. Proxy appointments which gave discretion
to the Chairman have been included in the 'for' total above.
