DISCLOSURE OF INSIDE INFORMATION ACC. TO ARTICLE 17 OF THE REGULATION (EU) NO 596/2014
13 November 2026
ASOS Plc (“ASOS” or the “Company”) - Repurchase of £90m of 2028 Convertible Bonds
ASOS plc announces that it has today agreed to purchase £90m in principal amount of its outstanding £253m 11.00% Guaranteed Secured Convertible Bonds due 2028 (ISIN: XS2895510340) (the “2028 Convertible Bonds” or “Bonds”) from certain existing bondholders (the “Repurchase”).
Following settlement of the Repurchase, the Bonds purchased by ASOS will be cancelled, reducing the principal amount outstanding from £253m to £163m. The Repurchase will be funded from the Company's existing liquidity resources, which comprised £328.3m of cash and cash equivalents as at financial year-end 31 August 2026.
Strategic Rationale: Optimising the Company’s capital structure
The Repurchase represents a further step in making ASOS’s capital structure more efficient, following significant progress in improving the Company’s profitability and strengthening its balance sheet. The Repurchase will result in a net annualised cash interest reduction for the Company of approximately £6m.
Transaction details
The Company has entered into a framework agreement dated 13 November 2026 (the “Lock-up Agreement”) with certain holders of the Bonds (the “Selling Holders”) under which it has agreed to repurchase £90m in principal amount of the Bonds (the “Buy-Back Bonds”) below prevailing market prices for a total cash consideration of c. £102m. Following the Repurchase, the Selling Holders, in aggregate, will hold or control approximately 36.3% in the principal amount of the outstanding Bonds. Settlement is expected to occur on 17 November 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set out in the Lock-up Agreement. The Buy-Back Bonds are expected to be cancelled and will not be re-issued or re-sold. The remaining £163m in principal amount of the Bonds will remain outstanding in accordance with their existing terms.
The Lock-up Agreement also provides, subject to completion of the Repurchase, for the Selling Holders to support, should the Company elect to launch a consent solicitation within the next four months, an amendment to the terms of the Bonds that would allow the Company to redeem all of the remaining outstanding Bonds at a price of no less than 114.5% of their principal amount (the “Call Option Amendment”).
ASOS is under no obligation to launch such a consent solicitation and no decision has been taken to do so.
