British retail company Frasers Group has acquired digital retailer Studio Retail Limited (SRL) and certain other assets of Studio Retail Group plc. The consideration for the transaction comprised cash and the release of SRG from its liabilities to the lending banks under its revolving credit facilities resulting in a cash payment by Frasers Group to the lenders in the amount of £26.8 million.

The company also agreed to act as guarantor in respect of certain payments in respect of the SRG group pension scheme to the satisfaction of the trustees, Frasers Group said in a media release.

As Frasers Group seeks to elevate its customer journey including a flexible repayment proposition, the acquisition of SRL will provide Frasers Group with expertise and synergies that will accelerate this ambition.

“Frasers Group is pleased to have rescued another business out of administration and saved approximately 1,500 jobs,” the company said in the release.
