The consideration for the sale of the South Asian IP is £40 million (£30.4 million gross cash proceeds; £28.3 million net of transaction costs and taxation).

The Company is pleased to announce that a circular regarding the Transaction (the “Circular”) has been published today, having been approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”). The Circular will be sent to the Company's shareholders (other than those who have elected for notification by website notification only) shortly.

The Transaction constitutes a Class 1 transaction for Superdry under the FCA’s Listing Rules and completion of the Transaction (“Completion”) is conditional upon the approval of Superdry’s shareholders at a general meeting of the Company and the approval of Superdry’s lenders.
