SPORTS DIRECT INTERNATIONAL PLC

("Sports Direct" or the "Company")

STATEMENT REGARDING DEBENHAMS PLC

Sports Direct has today requisitioned a general meeting of Debenhams plc ("Debenhams") to appoint Mr Mike Ashley to the board of directors of Debenhams and to remove all of the current members of the Debenhams board (other than Rachel Osborne who became a director in September 2018). This requisition replaces that of 7 March 2019 which was invalid (as a result of Sports Direct holding its shares at that time through a third party nominee). Sports Direct would like the matter of Debenhams board appointments to be put to the vote of the Debenhams shareholders as soon as possible.
