Revised date of General Meeting
On 28(th) October 2021, JD Sports Fashion plc (the "Company")
announced that the general meeting of the Company (the "General
Meeting") due to be held later that day in connection with a
proposed share sub-division (the "Share Sub-Division") had been
postponed.
Revised date
The Company announces that the General Meeting will be held at
Edinburgh House, Hollinsbrook Way, Pilsworth, Bury, Lancashire BL9
8RR on 26(th) November 2021 at 1.00 p.m. In this announcement, the
General Meeting to be held at that place, date and time is referred
to as the "26 November General Meeting".
Status of Circular
The explanatory circular that describes the proposed Share
Sub-Division was posted to shareholders on 5(th) October 2021 (the
"Circular"). Save as is mentioned in this announcement, the
information in the Circular remains correct and the Circular
continues to be available to view on the Company's website,
www.jdplc.com . The notes to the notice of general meeting
contained in the Circular will apply to the 26 November General
Meeting, subject only to amendment of the times and dates referred
to in those notes in accordance with the revised timetable of
events mentioned below.
Eligibility to vote at the General Meeting
Eligibility to vote at the 26 November General Meeting will be
determined by reference to the Company's register of members as at
6.30pm on 24 November 2021 (the "Voting Record Time"). Only members
registered in the register of members of the Company as at the
Voting Record Time or, in the event that the meeting is adjourned,
in the register of members as at 6.30pm on the day that is two
business days prior to the date of any adjourned meeting shall be
entitled to attend or vote at the 26 November General Meeting in
respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that
time. Changes to entries in the register of members after the
Voting Record Time or, in the event that the 26 November General
Meeting is adjourned, after 6.30pm on the day that is two business
days prior to the date of the adjourned meeting shall be
disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend or
vote (and the number of votes they may cast) at the 26 November
General Meeting.
Voting by proxy
Any shareholder wishing to vote at the 26 November General
Meeting without attending in person must appoint a proxy to do so.
A new proxy form for use at the 26 November General Meeting is
available for download at the Company's website, www.jdplc.com.
CREST members may also appoint a proxy via the CREST electronic
appointment service described in the CREST Manual and the notes to
the notice of general meeting contained in the Circular.
Shareholders who submitted proxy votes for the postponed General
Meeting
A proxy which was validly received for the postponed General
Meeting from a shareholder who remains a shareholder at the Voting
Record Time will be treated as the appointment by that shareholder
of a proxy to vote at the 26 November General Meeting per their
original instruction contained in that original proxy, but
exercising, pursuant to that instruction, the votes attached to the
number of shares held by that shareholder as at the Voting Record
Time (whether that number is greater than, fewer than or the same
as the number of shares held by them as at the voting record time
for the postponed General Meeting).
Notwithstanding the above, any such shareholder can, if they
wish, instead submit a new proxy for the 26 November General
Meeting by the Voting Record Time, in which case any proxy
submitted by them for the postponed General Meeting will be void
and disregarded. In order to do so, they should follow the
procedures outlined in this announcement and in the notes to the
notice of general meeting contained in the Circular.
A proxy received for the postponed General Meeting from a
shareholder who no longer holds any shares as at the Voting Record
Time will not be valid for the 26 November General Meeting and will
be disregarded.
Shareholders who held no shares as at the voting record time for
the postponed General Meeting
Any shareholder who held no shares as at the voting record time
for the postponed General Meeting and wishes to vote by proxy at
the 26 November General Meeting should submit a proxy in accordance
with the procedures outlined in this announcement and in the notes
to the notice of general meeting contained in the Circular.

Meeting can be raised by contacting the Company's registrar,

Ordinary resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting
The ordinary resolution approving the Share Sub-Division which
will be proposed at the General 26 November Meeting is unchanged,
save for the date referred to in it. Accordingly, that resolution
now reads as follows:
That each ordinary share of 0.25 pence in the capital of the
Company be and is hereby sub-divided into five ordinary shares of
0.05 pence each, such shares having the rights and being subject to
the restrictions set out in the articles of association of the
Company for the time being, provided that this resolution is
conditional upon, and shall take effect on, admission to the
Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock
Exchange's main market for listed securities of the new ordinary
shares arising from such sub-division by 8.00am on 30 November 2021
