As set out in the circular posted to shareholders on 14 September 2017 ("Shareholder Circular"), the above share acquisition (the "Share Acquisition") is part of a wider transaction which the Company has conditionally entered into to combine its existing business in Iberia with the Sport Zone business ("Sport Zone"), which is a subsidiary of Sonae - SGPS, SA (the "Sport Zone Transaction"). As further detailed in the Shareholder Circular, there are a number of other conditions still to be satisfied before the Share Acquisition and the Sport Zone Transaction can be completed, including inter alia, the approval of the Sport Zone Transaction by the relevant competition authority.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2R, a copy of the resolution passed at the General Meeting has also been submitted to the UKLA via the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
