The exercise, which marks the second tranche of the sports retailer's 200 million-pound share buyback program, is expected to run until the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2027. As JD Sports aims to reduce its share capital, shares purchased by Peel Hunt on behalf of the company will either be canceled or held in treasury.
