On 7 March 2011, <strong>Sports</strong> <strong>Direct</strong> <strong>International</strong> plc and certain subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) entered into a committed revolving facility agreement<br />
with ten financial institutions, with HSBC bank PLC acting as Agent (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility is available to any of the<br />
Borrowers and may be drawn to an aggregate limit of £220 million. It is capable of being utilised by way of cash advances and / or currency<br />
borrowings. The Revolving Facility is available until 6 March 2014. The Group is required to observe certain covenants, including undertakings<br />
relating to delivery of financial statements, and certain negative covenants, including in relation to creation of security and disposal of assets. The<br />
Revolving Facility is unsecured.<br />
The Group continues to operate comfortably within its banking facilities and covenants.<br />
The Group has a £50m working capital facility with Mike Ashley which can be drawn down on request. This facility was agreed at market terms<br />
at its inception.<br />
The carrying amounts and fair value of the borrowings are not materially different.<br />
Net debt at 29 April <strong>2012</strong> was £145.2m (24 April 2011: £148.9m).
