Casino Group Communication

Paris, 3 March 2026

As part of the arbitration proceedings initiated on 6 May 2025 before the ICC International Court of Arbitration by Companhia Brasileira de Distribuiçao (GPA), the latter announced in a press release dated 2 March 2026 that it had filed an application for interim measures against Casino Guichard-Perrachon, primarily seeking to prevent the transfer of GPA shares held by Casino Group or to freeze the proceeds of any potential sale of such shares during the arbitration proceedings, on the alleged grounds of preserving its rights in connection with these proceedings.

Casino Group confirms that it has received this request from GPA and intends to defend its rights before the duly constituted arbitral tribunal.
