Frasers Group Plans Buyout Bid for Norwegian XXL British sporting goods and lifestyle brands retailer Frasers Group Plc (LSE:FRAS) on December 6, 2024 said it plans to launch an offer for the remaining shares of XXL ASA (OB:XXL), which it does not already own, valuing the Norwegian sports retailer at some NOK 246.4 million (USD 22.3 million/EUR 21.1 million). Frasers currently holds a 25.8% stake in XXL and is its second largest shareholder. It has offered NOK 10 per share for the remaining stock, representing a 25% premium over XXL’s closing price on December 5, 2024. Frasers' bid comes amid disagreements over XXL’s recent “alternative rights issue plan,” adopted after shareholders rejected an earlier proposal to raise NOK 600 million.

It proposed a solution to XXL’s financial struggles, involving up to NOK 500 million in consigned stock with deferred payment terms.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 24% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 24% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (56% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.4% average weekly change).
