French retailer Plesio agrees on debt restructuring, posts slightly higher Q3 sales

By Reuters News

- French supermarket group Plesio CASP.PA, formerly known as Casino, said on Tuesday it had reached an agreement in principle to restructure its debt, as it reported 0.3% organic growth in third-quarter comparable sales, weighed down by lower non-food sales particularly in September.

The restructuring deal includes a €390 million ($438 million) capital increase from majority shareholder France Retail Holdings and will reduce the group's Term Loan B debt to €800 million from €1.4 billion, Plesio said in a statement.

It reported comparable sales of €1.95 billion for the third quarter.
