Statement on Revolution Beauty Group plc's grant of share options

Further to yesterday morning's announcement by Revolution Beauty Group plc ("Revolution Beauty") confirming the grant of nil cost share option awards to Bob Holt, Elizabeth Lake and sixteen other members of the Revolution Beauty management team (the "Free Share Awards"), boohoo demands that Revolution Beauty:

-- publishes the terms of the grant of the Free Share Awards granted to Bob Holt and Elizabeth Lake together with any award letters issued to the relevant individuals on its website without delay; and

-- confirms publicly that the proposed terms of grant of the Free Share Awards were not amended following the announcement by boohoo on 19 June 2023 of its intention to vote against the appointments of Bob Holt and Elizabeth Lake at yesterday's Revolution Beauty annual general meeting.

Despite the Free Share Awards having a dilutive impact of 3.4% on existing Revolution Beauty shareholders, they were not consulted on the Free Share Awards, did not approve its terms, nor approve the appointment of its two main beneficiaries as directors. Those main beneficiaries, Bob Holt and Elizabeth Lake, have only served very short tenures of 8 and 13 months respectively and, based on the closing price of Revolution Beauty yesterday, received approximately GBP2.1m of Free Share Awards, notwithstanding shareholders voting to remove them from office by an overwhelming majority.

The only disclosure Revolution Beauty has made around the terms of the Free Share Awards prior to today's announcement is five sentences hidden in its annual report for the period ended 28 February 2022 published on 26 May 2023. They were not referred to in any public announcement prior to yesterday morning. This all demonstrates a lack of transparency and actions which are self-serving and not in the best interests of shareholders.
