    As reported · 26 Apr 2026

Frasers' report gives a rounded direct interest at 26 April 2026; no newer exact stake was verified. The legal issuer remains boohoo group plc. This is distinct from the historic Debenhams plc and from sole Frasers ownership of the five destinations. Nasty Gal's brand and global IP sale completed on 15 September 2026, so it is excluded from current group aliases here. [1][2][3]
