INTRODUCTION

 On July 28, 2023, the Group announced that, under the conciliators' and CIRI's supervision, it had reached an agreement
in principle on July 27, 2023 with EP Global Commerce a.s., Fimalac and Attestor and certain other secured creditors
 On September 18, 2023, the Group announced that it had reached an agreement in principle with the ad hoc group of
holders of the secured notes issued by Quatrim (the "SSN") representing a majority of the noteholders regarding the
treatment of the SSNs under the agreement in principle reached on July 27, 2023
 Following these agreements in principle, the Group pursued discussions on the financial restructuring with all
stakeholders, and on October 5, 2023 entered into a binding lock-up agreement with, on the one hand, EP Equity
Investment III s.à r.l., an entity controlled by Mr. Daniel Křetínský, Fimalac and Attestor (collectively, the “Consortium”)
and, on the other hand, creditors beneficially holding 75% of the Term Loan B1, its principal commercial banking groups
holding and some of the aforementioned creditors beneficially holding 92% of the RCF2, and holders of the SSN
representing 58% of the SSN
 In accordance with the agreement in principle reached on July 27, 2023, the lock-up agreement notably provides for a
reduction in net debt of €6.1bn through (i) an equity contribution of €1,200m of New Money of which €925m will be
subscribed by the Consortium through a dedicated vehicle (the “Consortium SPV”) and €275m will be guaranteed by a
group of creditors (the "Backstop Group") and (ii) an equitization of €4.9bn of debt (including the hybrid instruments)
 As a result of the financial restructuring plan, the Consortium SPV is expected to hold around 53.7% of Casino’s share
capital (after exercise of warrants Additional Shares, but before exercise of warrants #1, #2 and #3)
 In addition, the Group has pursued negotiations with a group of high yield noteholders, a group of EMTN noteholders
and a group of hybrid instruments noteholders with a view to agreeing the treatment of these debts under the lock-up
agreement. To date, the Group's and Consortium's proposal has not been accepted by the aforementioned holders of
high yield notes, EMTNs and hybrid instruments
 The Group will request the consent of certain of its creditors (under the RCF, Term Loan B and senior secured notes
issued by Quatrim) as may be reasonably necessary to implement the transaction, and will also request certain waivers
under the relevant finance documents and an amendment to the existing intercreditor agreement entered into between
the Group and the abovementioned creditors
 All creditors will have the option of adhering to the lock-up agreement by 11 October 2023
 The opening of the accelerated safeguard proceedings for the following companies Casino, Guichard-Perrachon, Casino
Finance, Distribution Casino France, Casino Participations France, Quatrim, Monoprix and Ségisor is scheduled for 25
October 2023
