On 10/1/2012, JJB Sports plc appointed KPMG as administrators to restructure the business of the Company. The Company finally collapsed into administration after weeks of negotiations failed to secure the future of 133 shops and 2,200 staff. The administrators only managed to sell 20 JJB stores, the brand and the website to its arch-rival Sports Direct for £24m, saving 550 jobs in the UK, including warehouse staff. The shops are expected to be rebranded as Sports Direct. The sale proceeds will be used to repay some of JJB's £45m debt to its lender, Lloyds Banking Group and other secured creditors, US group Dick's Sporting Goods and Adidas. But shareholders will go empty-handed, while suppliers – Nike, Adidas and Umbro – and landlords will get very little, if anything. The shares were worth less than a penny when they were suspended. Richard Fleming, UK head of restructuring at KPMG, said: "Successive attempts to restructure the business, both financially and operationally, have not been enough to prevent the company falling into administration. Unfortunately a buyer could only be found for 20 stores on a going-concern basis.
This company is no longer actively traded on any major stock exchange.
