Casino Group Announces Share Transfer Agreement

On November 20, 2024, Casino Group revealed Trinity Investments' decision to transfer its 7.65% stake in France Retail Holdings (FRH) to EP Equity Investment III (EPEI). As of today, FRH controls 53.04% of Casino's share capital. This transfer will not affect Casino's share capital and voting rights distribution, which remains under Mr. Daniel Křetínský's control.

Following this transaction, Trinity will no longer collaborate with EPEI III and Fimalac on Casino-related matters. Consequently, Trinity will exit the Shareholders' Agreement, with Thomas Doerane resigning as observer on Casino's Board and Strategic Committee once the transaction concludes. Trinity still holds a 10.05% direct stake in Casino, with the transaction expected to close by June 30, 2025, pending regulatory approvals.
