"The three clubs who were relegated - Burnley, Luton Town and Sheffield United - have transferred back the share certificates that gave them Premier League status, and the Premier League Board has confirmed the cancellation of these shares.
"A new share certificate for each of the promoted clubs has then been signed by the Premier League directors and company secretary. As required under company law, the three clubs have been entered into the share register.
"As a result, the confirmation of the three promoted clubs as members of the Premier League has taken place, with the League formally welcoming them by awarding them their framed share certificates."
