Boohoo offers Frasers a board seat if they propose a candidate other than Mike Ashley or Mike Lennon, amid governance concerns.
(Reuters) - British online fashion retailer Boohoo said on Friday it was willing to offer its largest shareholder Frasers one board seat if it put forward an "appropriate candidate" other than current nominees Mike Ashley and Mike Lennon.

Earlier this week, Boohoo had asked shareholders to vote against all the resolutions at the general meeting scheduled on Dec. 20.
