Frasers Fails Again in Boardroom Battle

  • Boohoo Group shareholders reject Frasers’ proposal to remove Mahmud Kamani from the board
  • 63.17% of votes cast against the removal, 703 million votes against and 409 million in support
  • Last month, another Frasers’ proposal was also rejected by investors
  • Boohoo appointed Dan Finley as CEO and Tim Morris as independent chair last year

Boohoo Group shareholders have rejected a proposal by rival firm Frasers Group to remove co-founder and executive vice chair Mahmud Kamani from the board. In a General Meeting held on January 21, 63.17% of votes were cast against the proposal, with 703 million votes against and 409 million in support. This follows a previous rejection of Frasers’ attempt to install Mike Ashley and Mike Lennon onto Boohoo’s board last month, which received near-unanimous backing from non-Frasers affiliated investors. Boohoo appointed Dan Finley as CEO and promoted Tim Morris to independent chair in November 2021. The company thanked shareholders for their support and stated that they want to move past the disruption.
