The listing of the shares of the Casino distribution group CASP.PA was suspended on Wednesday on the Paris Stock Exchange at the request of the company, pending the publication of a press release and until further notice, said the stock exchange operator Euronext.
In serious financial difficulties, Casino put in place a backup plan, which was approved earlier this month by its shareholders and creditors. In December, he announced the opening of exclusive negotiations with Auchan Retail and Groupement Les Mousquetaires, parent company of Intermarché, to sell them 313 supermarkets and hypermarkets.
