Casino launches reverse share split

Paris, 24 April 2024

Casino, Guichard-Perrachon (" Casino ") announces today (i) the implementation of the reverse share split of its share capital through the exchange of one hundred (100) existing shares for one (1) new share and (ii) the reduction in share capital by reducing the nominal value of shares decided by the Board of Directors of Casino on 24 April 2024, in accordance with the twelfth and thirteenth resolutions approved by the shareholders meeting as a class of parties affected by Casino's accelerated safeguard plan approved by the Paris Commercial Court on 26 February 2024, on 11 January 2024 (the " Shareholders' Meeting ").

These technical adjustments are purely arithmetical and have no impact on the value of Casino shares held by each shareholder.

The reverse share split will have no impact on the terms of participation in the Annual General Meeting of shareholders to be held on 11 June 2024, the effective date of the reverse share split occurring after 11 June 2024.

Terms and conditions of the reverse share split

The final number of new shares resulting from the reverse share split will be recorded by the Board of Directors or by the Chief Executive Officer at the end of the reverse share split .

Non-consolidated shares will be delisted at the end of the consolidation period.

The old shares subject to the reverse share will be admitted to trading on the regulated market of Euronext Paris under ISIN code FR0000125585, until 13 June 2024, the last day of trading. The new shares resulting from the reverse share split will be admitted to trading on the Euronext regulated market in Paris from 14 June 2024, the first day of trading, and will be assigned the following ISIN code: FR001400OKR3.

A notice of the reverse share split will be published in the Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires (BALO) on 29 April 2024.

Terms and conditions of reduction in share capital motivated by losses by reducing the nominal value of Casino shares

At its meeting of 24 April 2024, Casino's Board of Directors decided to implement the capital reduction in accordance with the terms of the authorization granted to it by Shareholders' Meeting.

The nominal value of each Company share will be reduced from one euro (€1.00) to one euro cent (€0.01), representing a reduction of ninety-nine euro cents per share. The amount of this capital reduction will be allocated to a special reserve account entitled " Special reserve arising from the Capital Reduction n°2 decided on January 11, 2024 " and may only be used to offset losses incurred by the Company.

After the capital reduction, the nominal value of the new shares will be identical to the par value of the existing shares (before the reverse share split).

The reduction in nominal value is a purely technical operation, with no impact on the market value of Casino shares or on the number of shares outstanding.

Until 26 April 2024, existing Casino shares (FR0000125585) will remain eligible for the Service de Règlement Différé (SRD) and may therefore continue to be subject to deferred settlement.

As from 26 April 2024, they will no longer be eligible for the SRD and will have to be settled in cash until their last trading day, i.e . 13 June 2024.
