Clarification regarding FRC
The Company would like to clarify that Sports Direct itself is NOT the subject of an investigation by the FRC, which has jurisdiction over accounting firms and accounting professionals.
Sports Direct is a witness in an FRC investigation, details of which were made public by the FRC on 28 November 2016. This court application relates to the FRC's requests for the provision of certain documents.
Following the handing down of a judgement today in the High Court, Sports Direct obtained leave to appeal certain aspects of the judgement from the judge, and intends to appeal additional aspects of the judgement in due course.
