U.K. sportswear retailer JJB Sports PLC (JJB.LN) Monday said it is reviewing a range of options to provide additional capital, including disposing of non-core assets and possible fundraising.

The firm said it is also considering extending the maturity date of its working capital facility beyond September 2010.

It said a further statement will be made as and when appropriate.

JJB Sports added that the lease assignment process of its disposed fitness clubs business is ahead of plan, with 41 of the 53 leases assigned to Dave Whelan Sports Ltd.

The firm said around GBP17.6 million of the total GBP33.9 million deferred consideration has been released from the escrow account and it anticipates repaying the Barclays PLC (BARC.LN) term loan ahead of its existing maturity date of Aug. 31.
