These are the Companies House documents that confirm FPP Sunderland's investment in Sunderland AFC.
It was revealed earlier today that Sunderland had reached an agreement for the US-based group, that consists of businessmen Glenn Fuhrman, John Phelan and Robert Platek, to inject a 'significant' investment into the football club.
The deal will not see the businessmen become shareholders of Sunderland and the current ownership of Stewart Donald (74%), Juan Sartori (20%) and Charlie Methven (6%) remains in place.
And that investment has been confirmed in paperwork lodged to Companies House this afternoon relating to Sunderland AFC.
As you can see in the pictures above, a statement of capital was processed this afternoon showing the SAFC Ltd share capital and share premium accounts have been reduced to £1m.
The total investment figure the group are expected to inject is in the region of an eight-figure sum and it has been described a 'significant cash injection' for a club outside of the Premier League.
Speaking about the deal, executive director Methven told the Sunderland Echo: “Our agreement is confidential and I wouldn’t want to speak for the investors on that [long-term plan], but obviously this is a very large sum of money for an investment outside the Premier League and will enable the club to have strategic certainty for the next couple of years.
“It’s a very significant cash injection at any level outside of the Premier League.”
