Casino Advances in Banking Discussions for Approximately €1.2 Billion in Financing
On Friday, Casino Group made significant progress in its financial restructuring project by aligning with its main banking partners on the key parameters of its future financing. The group aims to finalize negotiations by the end of June before concluding the banking documentation in July.
New €600 Million Credit Facility for Retail Operations
Discussions with banks have led to an alignment on the key parameters of a new five-year revolving credit facility (RCF) amounting to approximately €600 million, intended to replace the current RCF. This line would include an initial three-year period followed by a two-year extension at the group's request, subject to the absence of any default events and compliance with financial covenants.
In parallel, Casino indicates that the key parameters also include the continuation of existing operational financing totaling about €620 million over five years, structured as three years plus two one-year extensions that can be activated at the group's request, under the same conditions. These parameters also include a new first-demand guarantee line intended to support the needs of its purchasing alliance.

Casino intends to move to the next stage of its banking discussions by June 30, 2026, depending on the progress of the ongoing due diligence and the approval of the credit committees. The finalization of the banking documentation is expected during the month of July.
Philippe Palazzi, CEO of Casino Group, stated that 'this decisive step should align the various stakeholders and conclude negotiations by the end of June'.
Extension of Deadline for General Meeting Until End of 2026
The group has obtained from the president of the Saint-Étienne commercial court an extension of the deadline for holding the ordinary general meeting scheduled to approve the accounts for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with the new deadline set for December 31, 2026. Other subsidiaries of the group have also requested a similar extension from the competent jurisdictions.
Casino reminds that the approval of the accounts necessary for holding the general meeting remains contingent on the successful outcome of the ongoing negotiations.
