The proposed transaction is set to commence at the start of trading on the ASX on 30 June 2026 and is scheduled to run until the close of trading on 30 July 2026, unless it is extended or withdrawn.
In its filing on the London Stock Exchange, Frasers Group stated that the bid carries no conditions.
The company has filed its Bidder’s Statement with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and has served this document to Accent.
The offer will proceed in accordance with the terms set out in the Bidder’s Statement.

From 15 June 2026, Barrenjoey Markets will operate in the market to acquire Accent shares at the offer price during normal trading hours on the ASX or Cboe Australia.
Accent shareholders can sell their shares to Frasers at the specified price and will receive cash payment two trading days after the sale.
