Activewear queen Lorna Jane Clarkson has bought back the 40 per cent of her eponymous retail chain previously owned by CHAMP Ventures in a $28 million deal inked just before the coronavirus turmoil started.

Under the deal, signed on March 3, Clarkson and her co-founder and husband Bill pay $70 apiece for the 400,000 shares in Lorna Jane owned by CHAMP since 2010. It puts an overall value on Lorna Jane of $70 million.
