JD Sports has delayed the publication of its full-year results over the divestment of Footasylum and to give more time to split Peter Cowgill's joint chairman and chief executive role.
The Greater Manchester-headquartered company added the move would also "ensure that KPMG have sufficient time to complete its global audit procedures".
In a statement issued to the London Stock Exchange, it said the delay would "allow the group to report on the outcome of the divestment of Footasylum with greater certainty".
