Mike Ashley is back on the acquisition trail.

Frasers Group, the company the High Street tycoon founded as Sports Direct in 1982, yesterday bought South African-based sports chain Holdsport.

Ashley’s group also bought a 6.4 per cent stake worth £3million in electricals retailer Marks Electrical.

It comes amid a showdown between Ashley and Boohoo chairman Mahmud Kamani over control of the online fashion retailer.

The acquisition of Holdsport, which has 88 stores across South Africa and Namibia and owns the Sportsman’s Warehouse retailer, is Frasers’ latest push into international markets.

Meanwhile, Frasers’ £3million investment in Leicester-based Marks Electricals came after Marks shares dropped to their lowest level since floating in London in 2021 last week.

Marks Electricals yesterday gained 2 per cent, with Frasers Group losing 1.6 per cent and Boohoo up 1 per cent.

ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI PLC

Scheme of Arrangement Becomes Effective

The boards of Centamin plc ("Centamin") and AngloGold Ashanti plc ("AngloGold Ashanti") are pleased to announce that, following the delivery of a copy of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies today for registration, the scheme of arrangement between Centamin and the Scheme Shareholders under Article 125 of the Jersey Companies Law (the "Scheme") to implement the recommended cash and share acquisition of the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Centamin by AngloGold Ashanti (the "Transaction") has now become Effective and, pursuant to the Scheme, the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Centamin is now owned by AngloGold Ashanti.

Strange how there’s been nothing from Fatman over this controversial 48 hours.

The last paragraph would do me…

“Yet, if Ashley wants more influence, there’s a conventional route:just bid for Boohoo, an outfit presently valued at a bombed-out £390 million. It’d be far more honest than all this frocking about.”
