in the Statement of Principles

on Dis-ApplyingPre-Emption

Rights, as provided by the

Articles of Association

  • Whilst the Company seeks authority on an annual basis to perform share buybacks (as is customary for UK PLCs), the Board notes that it has no current intention of utilising this authority, reflecting the complexities of executing an on market buyback for a company incorporated in Luxembourg such as B&M. The
    Board continuously reviews the Group's capital structure and has regularly returned funds to all its shareholders by way of both ordinary and special dividends.

The results of the poll will also be posted on the Company's website at www.bandmretail.com

Please note that a vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of votes for and against a resolution.

The total number of shares of the Company in issue on the record date on 14 July 2022 (for being eligible to vote at the AGM) was 1,001,226,836 ordinary shares.
