陷入困境的英国折扣零售商Poundland周四提交了任命管理人的意向通知，在试图达成救援协议期间获得临时法律保护。
Struggling British discount retailer Poundland on Thursday filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators, giving the business temporary legal protection while it attempts to find a rescue deal.
该通知提交至高等法院，使该公司获得10个工作日的保护，免受债权人行动。Poundland于8月被美国投资公司Gordon Brothers挂牌出售，而不到一年前，该公司刚以象征性价格从华沙上市的Pepco Group（PCOP.WA）手中收购了这家连锁企业。Poundland和Gordon Brothers均未立即回应路透社的置评请求。Poundland经营着600多家门店，包括爱尔兰的Dealz连锁店，员工超过1万人。
该公司还在英格兰西北部首相安迪·伯纳姆的Makerfield选区运营一个配送中心。Poundland成立于1990年，因所有商品统一以1英镑单一价格出售而广受欢迎，但这一政策早已被放弃。近年来，该公司一直难以应对来自传统超市、折扣商Aldi和Lidl以及B&M（BMEB.L）等公司的竞争。
The notice, filed in the High Court, gives the business 10 working days protection from creditor action Poundland was put up for sale by US investment firm Gordon Brothers in August, less than a year after it purchased the chain for a nominal sum from Warsaw-listed Pepco Group (PCOP.WA) Poundland and Gordon Brothers did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment Poundland trades from more than 600 stores, including via the Dealz chain in Ireland, employing over 10,000 It also operates a distribution centre in Prime Minister Andy Burnham's Makerfield constituency in north west England Poundland was founded in 1990 and grew to become popular for selling all of its items at the single price point of £1, a policy long since abandoned In recent years, it has struggled with competition from the traditional supermarkets, discounters Aldi and Lidl and firms such as B&M (BMEB.L)
