Casino has become aware, through a press agency wire, of a report issued by Muddy Waters Capital on December 16, 2015, with the obvious intent to harm Casino, its employees and its shareholders.
This accusatory report contains grossly erroneous allegations that the Group will answer in detail.
In light of this dissemination of misleading information, Casino Group has filed a claim with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers and reserves the possibility to exercise its rights before national courts, including criminal courts.
