Performance Sports Group Responds to False Media Report Regarding Secondary Offering
EXETER, NH -- (Marketwired) -- 01/15/16 -- Performance Sports Group Ltd. (NYSE: PSG) (TSX: PSG) ("Performance Sports Group" or the "Company"), a leading developer and manufacturer of high performance sports equipment and apparel, is commenting on a false media report that Performance Sports Group filed for a secondary offering.
The report stemmed from an incorrect report from StreetAccount.com, which reported in error on January 14, 2016 that Performance Sports Group had filed for a secondary offering. StreetAccount.com issued a subsequent report stating that StreetAccount.com "incorrectly reported that [Performance Sports Group] filed for a secondary offering through Rodman & Renshaw." Performance Sports Group confirms that the original StreetAccount.com report is completely false and that Performance Sports Group has not had, nor has contemplated having, a secondary offering. The Company also has no relationship with Rodman & Renshaw.
While the Company does not generally comment publicly on market speculation or rumors, the Company felt it was prudent to advise investors that the StreetAccount.com report is false and that the Company has not filed for a secondary offering, nor is a secondary offering contemplated. The Company does not anticipate issuing any further public statement regarding any rumors or speculation in the marketplace unless required by applicable laws.
