Shares in the video games retailer Game Group have been suspended from trading
"pending clarification of the company's financial position".
The firm has seen its business eroded by competition from online-only
retailers, such as Steam and Amazon.
Last week, Game confirmed that a number of suppliers were refusing to do
business with the company.
The group, which is headquartered in Basingstoke, has 1,300 stores worldwide,
including 600 in the UK.
In a statement, the firm said the value of the company had been eroded, and had
made the decision following talks with its lenders and a potential third party
provider of finance.
"The board now considers itself to be unable to assess the business's financial
position, and is of the opinion that there is no equity value left in the
group.
"Therefore the company has requested that the listing of its securities on the
Main Market of London Stock Exchange plc be suspended from trading with effect
from 07:30 today."
Shares in Game closed at 2.39p on Tuesday, having fallen from 62p a year ago.
