Sports Direct forces an apology from Daily Telegraph
Statement from Sports Direct:
Sport Direct notes that the Telegraph Media,publisher of the Daily Telegraph, has both amended and apologised for a completely inaccurate story that was first published on its website last Wednesday evening.
The article falsely claimed that a majority of Sports Direct institutional shareholders voted against the company's Remuneration policy at its Annual General Meeting, held on Wednesday afternoon. In fact this resolution was approved by 86% of the shareholders and by 59% of all shareholders even if the shareholding of our executive deputy chairman Mike Ashley is for some bizarre reasonexcluded.
We note that the Daily Telegraph website has corrected their mistake and apologised.
