Significant events
- “In Autumn 2025, the Club entered into an exclusivity agreement relating to its potential sale. This exclusivity agreement was extended in January 2026. Whilst the transaction has taken longer than the desired timeline, at the date of this report, the investors have agreed the purchase of the Club. In the event that the current party is unable to complete a takeover, the Club will re-engage the numerous parties who have expressed a serious interest previously.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
