Delisting
The board of Superdry plc has announced proposals to cancel the company’s ordinary shares from trading on the London Stock Exchange. It’s expected that the company’s shares will be delisted with effect from 12 July 2024.
Why is this happening?
The company has announced “The Restructuring Plan is a key element of the Company’s turnaround plan that is intended to help the Company deliver its financially sustainable operating model. The Company believes that, unless the Restructuring Plan comes into effect, it will need to enter into administration or an equivalent insolvency process immediately. This outcome would leave creditors, including the creditors whose claims would otherwise be compromised by the Restructuring Plan, materially worse off than they would be under the Restructuring Plan.” (Source ‘Superdry plc: Posting of Circular and Notice of General Meeting’, 21 May 2024)
Are the open offer and delisting subject to shareholder approval?
Yes, the proposals will go to a shareholder vote at a meeting.
For the delisting to become effective, it must be approved at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to be held on 14 June 2024. Such a withdrawal resolution requires the consent of not less than 75% of votes cast by shareholders voting on that resolution at the meeting.
You can vote on whether the proposals go ahead online:
If you’re already logged in to your account simply click here and select the ‘give instruction’ link next to the relevant shareholder meeting.
You’ll need to do this before 7pm on Monday 10 June 2024 so your vote can be passed onto the company before the shareholder meetings. If you’ve recently bought shares, it will take 2-3 days for you to be able to vote on these.
We’re not able to accept instructions through the HL app.
If you wish to sell your holding before the proposed listing cancellation you must do so before the end of the day on Thursday 11 July 2024. The trade will be placed in accordance with our terms and conditions and subject to our standard commission rates. To sell these shares please visit our website at www.hl.co.uk. Please note that although Hargreaves Lansdown will endeavour to sell your shares it may not be possible to sell all, or even any, of your shares if a market for the shares no longer exists.
If you wish to maintain your holding you don’t need to take any action. You should note that following the cancellation you may have difficulty selling this investment at a reasonable price and, in some circumstances, it may be impossible to sell it at any price.
Matched Bargain Facility
If the delisting is approved, Superdry plc intend to in place a matched bargain facility provided by JP Jenkins, in order to allow trades in Superdry plc shares after the delisting. We will contact you following the delisting with further details.
The board of directors have unanimously recommended shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions at the meeting.

I had a smallish position and sold last Wednesday at a painful loss, but I didn’t like the risk of the company being delisted and having a few hundred £ locked down.
It will be interesting to see if the company delists or stays public. I still cannot understand the decision to not sell (or partner) a couple of months ago. Feel like the only ones carrying the bill are individual investors.
