MYSALE has called on shareholders to turn down an approach by Mike Ashley's Frasers Group to buy control of the Australian online fashion marketplace.
London-listed firm MySale - which also counts retail entrepreneur rivals Sir Philip Green and Boohoo founder Mahmud Kamani among its investors - saw shares lift on Friday as a result.
The company said Frasers, which is MySale's biggest shareholder with a 28.6% stake, approached the company to purchase the rest of the company for 2p per share, valuing the business at around £14 million.
However, MySale told shareholders it believes the offer is too low, noting that the move is the minimum price Frasers could have offered.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
