PARIS, July 17 (Reuters) – Casino CASP.PA shares were suspended from the Paris Stock Exchange on Monday at the request of the Saint-Etienne distributor pending the publication of a press release, announced the operator Euronext.
The 3F holding company, which brings together the three businessmen Xavier Niel, Matthieu Pigasse and Moez-Alexandre Zouari, announced on Sunday that it would not submit an offer for the takeover of Casino, leaving the field open to the competing proposal made by the Czech businessman Daniel Kretinsky.
