JJB Sports plc
("JJB" or the "Company" or, together with its subsidiaries, the
"Group")
Appointment of administrators, sale of the business and
cancellation of listing
Following receipt of final offers for the business and assets of
the Group and the suspension of the Company's ordinary shares on 24
September 2012, the Company confirms the appointment today of Brian
Green, David Costley-Wood and Richard Fleming, partners of KPMG
LLP, as administrators of the Company, of Brian Green and David
Costley-Wood as administrators of SSL Retail Limited and of Brian
Green, David Costley-Wood and Blair Nimmo as administrators of
Blane Leisure Limited.
The Company also announces completion today of the sale by the
administrators of certain of the trade, assets and product brands
of the Group to wholly owned subsidiaries of Sports Direct
International plc ("Sports Direct") for cash consideration of
GBP23.77 million, with up to a further GBP0.25 million of
additional cash consideration payable after completion of a
post-sale stock take.
Sports Direct will acquire 20 stores, substantially all of the
stock in the business and the Slazenger Golf brand licences, as
well as the Company's freehold property in Wigan. The remaining
stores will not form part of the sale and the administrators do not
intend to trade from these stores in the administration.
The net proceeds of the sale will be used to repay the Company's
outstanding debt to its lender and other secured creditors. As
previously announced, there will therefore be no value attributable
to the Company's ordinary shares.
As a result of the appointment of administrators to the Company,
Numis Securities has today resigned as Nominated Adviser to the
Company with immediate effect. Pursuant to AIM Rule 1, if a
replacement Nominated Adviser is not appointed within one month,
the admission of the Company's securities will be cancelled. The
Company has no intention of appointing a replacement Nominated
Adviser.
