Status update on the project to adapt and strengthen
the Casino Group's financial structure
Paris, 16 March 2026
Further to the Casino Group's previous communications regarding the project to adapt and strengthen its financial structure, and in particular the publication of the proposals dated 5 March 20261, the Group announces that the key terms of the new proposals, as formulated to date, are set out in a presentation published today on its website (link).
It is specified that all inside information relating to Casino Group that may have been disclosed to date by Casino to the various stakeholders subject to confidentiality agreements has been made public.
The Group recalls that should such a transaction to adapt and strengthen the financial structure be completed, it would result in significant dilution for existing shareholders.
As of the date of this press release, no agreement has been reached between Casino, FRH and the creditors regarding the adaptation and strengthening of the Casino Group's financial structure. Discussions will therefore continue.
The Group, which has obtained from its creditors an extension of their consents2, intends to complete its work to adapt and strengthen its financial structure by the end of the second quarter of 2026.
Furthermore, as previously announced3 by the Group, and with a view to extending the maturity of its operational financings beyond 27 March 2026, the Group companies holding these financings4 have requested and obtained from the President of the Paris Economic Activities Court the opening of conciliation proceedings for their benefit for an initial period of four months, which may be extended by one month, as well as the appointment of SCP BTSG (Maître Marc Sénéchal) as conciliator.
