Update on agreement to acquire SportScheck
On 17 October 2023, Frasers Group plc ("Frasers" or the "Group") announced that it had entered into a binding agreement with Signa Retail Department Store Holding GmbH to acquire SportScheck (the "Agreement") (the "Transaction"). The Transaction, which was subject to merger control clearance, was to be effected by the acquisition of 100% of the share capital in SportScheck GmbH.
SportScheck GmbH has today filed for insolvency. Frasers has exercised its rights under the Agreement to withdraw from the Transaction.
While Frasers is disappointed by the insolvency of SportScheck, it continues to believe that SportScheck is an attractive asset in one of Europe's most important markets for Sports and it intends to work with the appointed preliminary insolvency administrator of SportScheck with a view to acquiring the SportScheck business/assets out of administration. Frasers remains committed to our ambition to become the leading sports retailer in EMEA.
