## Summary

Poundland is believed to have secured about £10 million in additional funding to pay suppliers while it seeks a rescue deal. The retailer faces a deadline to agree a sale or other arrangement, and the outcome could affect its roughly 600 shops and 11,000 employees.

No deal had been reached by the reported deadline, but sources said the company expected to seek an extension. Potential buyers include Tesco, Iceland and Lidl for some shops, and Xyra Holdings and Martin Property Group for the wider business; administrators AlixPartners are understood to be lined up if a deal fails. Gordon Brothers, which bought Poundland for £1 last year, is due to give evidence to MPs privately as sale talks continue.
