Dixons Carphone plc to become Currys plc
Dixons Carphone plc ("the Company") today announces its
intention to change its name to "Currys plc".
This follows the announcement that in the United Kingdom &
Ireland, Currys PC World, Carphone Warehouse and Team KnowHow will
all become a single brand "Currys" by October 2021.
Consumers have a deep affection for Currys, a trusted brand
providing vital technology to customers to enrich their lives since
1884. Under one brand, Currys will continue to bring the best of
stores and online together, making it easier for customers to
choose, afford and enjoy amazing technology, however they want to
shop. The press release can be found here:
https://www.dixonscarphone.com/news-and-media/press-releases/year/2021/four-brands-become-one-currys.
This important step reflects the progress in the Group's
omnichannel transformation. As the market leader in the UK &
Ireland, Nordics and Greece, the Group is uniquely positioned to
provide products and services to customers at scale in ways others
cannot match.
A subsequent announcement will be made when the Company's name
change becomes effective with a revised stock ticker. This is
expected to take place immediately following the Company's AGM in
September 2021. Until such an announcement is made, trading will
continue under the existing ticker. No action is required on the
part of any equity holders.
Next scheduled announcement
Dixons Carphone is scheduled to publish its Full Year results on
Wednesday 30 June 2021.
