Former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's Fordstam deadline nears amid foundation plea

Fordstam Limited, a company owned by Roman Abramovich and the former parent company of Chelsea FC, is just over one month away from being struck off the Registrar of Companies and dissolved, unless, their accounts are filed or a confirmation statement is produced. Fordstam received the strik-off notice on June 6.

The First Gazette Notice said: "The Registrar of Companies gives notice that unless cause is shown to the contrary, the Company will be struck off the register and dissolve not less than two months from the date shown above. Upon the Company's dissolution, all property and rights vested in, or held in trust for, the Company are deemed to be bona vacantia, and will belong to the Crown."

Fordstam was hit when sanctions were placed on Roman Abramovich in March 2022. The company, whose registered address remains at Stamford Bridge, last filed accounts in 2021 but ahead of Chelsea's takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital in May 2022 provided information to the registrar with no filings since.
