A number of Scottish stores are on the list of Homebase branches earmarked for closure.
It includes the home and garden chain’s Aberdeen Bridge of Don and Portlethen outlets, as well as stores in Dundee, East Kilbride, Hawick, Inverness and Stirling.
The Glasgow Pollokshaws and Greenock stores are also set to be shut down.
Confirming the store closures, Homebase boss Damian McGloughlin said: “Launching a CVA has been a difficult decision and one that we have not taken lightly.
“Homebase has been one of the most recognisable retail brands for almost 40 years but the reality is we need to continue to take decisive action to address the underperformance of the business and deal with the burden of our cost base, as well as to protect thousands of jobs.
“The CVA is therefore an essential measure for the business to take and will enable us to refocus our operations and rebuild our offer for the years ahead.”
