Mr Treacy was appointed as a director of Sport Capital Group Holdings Limited on incorporation on 20 December 2018. This company was placed into a solvent members' voluntary liquidation on 31 May 2019 and on 24 July 2020, the company was dissolved. Mr Treacy was a director of Unione Sportiva Città di Palermo S.p.A. for approximately five weeks between the dates of 31 December 2018 until 4 February 2019. Unione Sportiva Città di Palermo S.p.A. was declared bankrupt by the Court of Palermo on 18 October 2019. Mr Treacy was subsequently issued with a nine-month suspension from the management of Italian football clubs on 3 September 2020 by La Corte Federale d'Appello following the bankruptcy of Unione Sportiva Città di Palermo S.p.A. Mr Treacy appealed this ruling to the Collegio di Garanzia dello Sport. The Collegio di Garanzia dello Sport, being the senior court, upheld his appeal, and reversed the decision of La Corte Federale d'Appello, resulting in the decision being overturned and Mr Treacy being exonerated.
The Directors accept responsibility for this announcement.
