West Bromwich Albion chairman Jeremy Peace has upped his stake in the club.
Peace has increased his majority stake in the club to 76.4 percent with the purchase of a further 905 shares.
Peace, through his company West Bromwich Albion Holdings Ltd, last month made an offer of £3,000 per share to shareholders in the hope of taking his holding over the legally-significant 75 percent-mark.
The club has now announced that Peace, who had held 67 percent, has surpassed that figure and he could yet increase his stake further. The initial deadline of July 3 for shareholders to respond to the tender offer has been extended by two weeks.
