What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Briscoe Group wrote down its investment in KMD Brands by NZ$9.89 million in the first half of the 2026 financial year. This followed KMD Brands completing an equity raising in April 2026, which raised approximately NZ$65.3 million. The dilution resulted in Briscoe Group's ownership interest dropping from 6.75 per cent to 2.67 per cent after the Rebel Sport owner opted out of the capital raising. KMD Brands subsequently completed a 1-for-25 share consolidation on July 2.
