Frasers Group withdraws from the SportScheck acquisition deal after the latter files for insolvency.
Despite the setback, Frasers remains interested in SportScheck as an appealing asset in a key European sports market.
The company plans to collaborate with the preliminary insolvency administrator to potentially acquire SportScheck's business/assets.

Frasers Group had recently announced that it had entered into a binding agreement with Signa Retail Department Store Holding to acquire SportScheck. The transaction, which was subject to merger control clearance, was to be effected by the acquisition of 100 per cent of the share capital in SportScheck.

However, SportScheck has filed for insolvency, leading Frasers to withdraw from the transaction, the company said in a press release.
