The Paris commercial court will deliver its judgment on the future of the group on February 26. The court must rule on the rescue plan for Casino, which employed 50,000 employees in France at the end of 2022.

If this plan is properly approved, it will lead to a change in the distributor's shareholding, which will pass by March/April into the hands of billionaires Daniel Kretinsky and Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, backed by the Attestor investment fund.
