ALL DEFINED TERMS USED IN THIS ANNOUNCEMENT HAVE THE MEANING GIVEN TO THEM IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY THE COMPANY ON 12 OCTOBER 2009, UNLESS OTHERWISE DEFINED HEREIN. 28 October 2009 JJB Sports plc Results of Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer On 12 October 2009, the Board of Directors of JJB Sports plc ("JJB" or the "Company") announced details of the Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer of New Ordinary Shares to raise gross proceeds of approximately £100 million (approximately £94 million net of expenses) through the issue of 199,334,512 Firm Placed Shares and 200,665,488 Open Offer Shares pursuant to the Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer, both at an Issue Price of 25 pence per New Ordinary Share. The Open Offer Shares pursuant to the Placing were subject to clawback to satisfy valid applications by Qualifying Shareholders pursuant to the Open Offer. The Firm Placed Shares were not subject to clawback and were not part of the Open Offer. The Open Offer closed for acceptance at 11.00 a.m. on 27 October 2009. The Company is pleased to announce that it has received valid acceptances in respect of 181,475,753 Open Offer Shares from Qualifying Shareholders. This represents approximately 90.4 per cent. of the Open Offer Shares offered. As a consequence, 19,189,735 Excess Shares were available pursuant to the Excess Application Facility. Valid applications pursuant to the Excess Application Facility have been received in respect of 59,034,784 Excess Shares, representing approximately three times the Excess Shares available. Accordingly, applications for Excess Shares under the Excess Application Facility have been scaled back on a pro rata basis. No Open Offer Shares have been allocated to those institutional shareholders and other investors with whom they had been conditionally placed under the terms of the Placing. The Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer are conditional, amongst other things, upon passing of the Share Issue Resolution at the General Meeting, to be held at 11:00 a.m. on 29 October 2009, and Admission occurring by no later than 9:00 a.m. on 3 November 2009 (or such later time and/or date as the Company, Panmure Gordon and Numis may determine). Application has been made to the UKLA for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to the Official List and to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities. It is expected that Admission will become effective on 3 November 2009 and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8:00 a.m. on 3 November 2009. The New Ordinary Shares, when issued and fully paid, will be identical to and rank in full for all dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid after Admission and in all respects will rank pari passu with the Existing Ordinary Shares. The New Ordinary Shares (in uncertificated form) are expected to be credited to CREST accounts on or around 8.00 a.m. on 3 November 2009 and definitive share certificates for the New Ordinary Shares are expected to be despatched to certificated shareholders by no later than 10 November 2009.
