Dutch court approves buy-out of minority
shareholders
of Cnova N.V.
Paris, 12 February 2025
Casino, Guichard-Perrachon S.A. (Euronext Paris:
CO; ISIN: FR001400OKR3) ("Casino") announces as
follows: on 11 February 2025, the Enterprise Chamber of the Court
of Appeal in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (the "Enterprise
Chamber") rendered its judgment in the buy-out proceedings
initiated by Casino against the other shareholders of Cnova N.V.
("Cnova"). Reference is also made to Casino's
press release regarding the buy-out proceedings of 17 October
2024.
The Enterprise Chamber ruled that EUR 0.09 is a
fair buy-out price per share in Cnova and ordered all shareholders
to transfer their shares in Cnova to Casino, in exchange for a
payment of EUR 0.09 per share in cash, to be increased by statutory
interest from 30 June 2024 until the date of transfer of the shares
or the date of consignment (as explained below).
Shareholders of Cnova may comply with the
Enterprise Chamber's judgment voluntarily by transferring their
shares in Cnova to Casino. Casino will shortly announce modalities
and other details for the voluntary transfer which should be open
for a period of ten weeks.
On or shortly after the end of the period for
voluntary transfer, Casino will enforce the judgment of the
Enterprise Chamber against all shareholders who did not participate
in the voluntary transfer, by paying the aggregate buy-out price
for the remaining shares in Cnova to the consignment fund of the
Dutch Ministry of Finance, as a result of which such shares will be
transferred to Casino unencumbered and by operation of law.
Subsequently, former shareholders will only be entitled to payment
of the buy-out price from the consignment fund of the Dutch
Ministry of Finance in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations. The link to the website of the consignment fund, an
informal English translation of the relevant pages and the form
through which shareholders can claim the buy-out price at the
consignment fund, will be published on Casino's website in due
course.
