By Olivia Bugault. Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA (CGUSY) said Friday that it has signed agreements with its subsidiary Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao Grupo Pao de Acucar (PCAR4.BR), or GPA, and Almacenes Exito SA, or Exito, for the launch of GPA's all-cash tender offer on Exito.

Following the announcement made on July 25th regarding a project aiming at the simplification of Casino Group’s structure in Latin America, Casino announces that today, its Board of Directors approved a final amendment to its offer to acquire Éxito’s equity interest in GPA indirectly held through the French company Segisor.

The amended offer includes the following:

• • An improved price per GPA share at 113 BRL;
  • A partial purchase price matching clause (equal to 80% of the price difference) on the 49.8 million GPA shares that Casino would indirectly acquire from Éxito in case of disposal of all or part of such shares above 113 BRL per share within 15 months.

The amended offer is the result of the discussions with the management and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Éxito, taking into account the preliminary analysis conducted by Éxito’s Audit and Risk Committee and subject to the final evaluation of such committee, which Casino requested to be held no later than August 26th, 2019. The amended offer is valid until August 27th, 2019.

The other terms and conditions of the simplification project remain unchanged. The simplification project’s transactions remain subject to certain corporate approvals of competent governance bodies.

Grupo Éxito also known as Almacenes Éxito S.A. is a South American retail company. It operates 2,606 stores in South America. The stores sell a wide range of food and non food products.^[2][3] Though originally a textiles maker and seller (under such brand names as Arkitect, People, Bronzini, Pop Rose) recent acquisitions (mostly within the last 10–20 years) have further diversified the business making it a major grocer (under brand names like surtimax and carulla sales of food products make up about 70-75% of revenue).^[4] At its hypermarkets (the largest of which is the Éxito chain) it sells both packaged foods and perishables in addition to department store type products ranging from electronics to furniture.

Almacenes is Colombia's largest supermarket chain.^[5]

History[edit]

Grupo Éxito traces its origins to a Medellín, Colombia family run textile business founded in 1949 by Gustavo Toro Quintero. Éxito is the Spanish word for success. In 1972 it transitioned into a hypermarket when it added supermarket products and in 1974 it began adding more locations. Six years later a flagship store was opened in Bogotá, Colombia. In 1994 when there were four major locations, it went public on the Medellín and Bogotá stock exchanges but it didn't become a leading retailer until 1998. By then the company had further diversified its business, offering services related to eye care and travel.

The beginning of the 21st century was marked by an acquisitions spree starting with an 80% interest in Venezuelan hypermarket operator Cativen (much of the funds used were raised in the late 1990s when it sold 25% of the company to French group Casino and attracted investment from JP Morgan).^[6] By year end 2010 Groupe Casino owned 53.89% of Almacenes Éxito (down from 67% in September).

-Merged with Cadenalco (formerly Colombia's largest retailer)^[7] in 2001.

-Became associated with textiles and apparel company Didetexco in 2009 (ownership at 97.75%)^[8]

Acquisitions spree in Uruguay and Argentina[edit]

In the summer of 2011, Almacenes Éxito acquired the Devoto and Disco chains in Uruguay, for US $746 million, as part of its expansion plan in Latin America.In July 2015, it completed the takeover of 100% of the Argentine chain Hipermercados Libertad and 50% of the Brazilian group Pão de Açúcar.^[9]

Envigado shopping center[edit]

Venezuela[edit]

Cativen (acronym for Cadena de Tiendas Venezolanas SA) is a venezuelan supermarket chain founded on March 23, 1995. It became affiliated with Grupo Exito in 2004 when Groupe Casino acquired 80% of Cativen's shares. At the time Almacenes Exito was also operating a number of its own stores in the country. In November 25, 2010, the Government of Venezuela expropriated several Éxito supermarkets citing price gauging, hoarding of supplies, and breaching the Law for the Defense of Persons in Access to Goods and Services. Subsequently, it bought the shares of the French group Casino, which owned 61.7% of Cativen's shares, and nationalized the remaining six Éxito supermarkets in the country. The Venezuelan government changed the name of the acquired cativan supermarkets to Bicentennial Supplies.^[11]
