Success of the takeover bid initiated by EP Group
EP Group becomes the controlling shareholder of fnac darty with 69.3% of its share capital
Reopening of the offer period from november 12 to november 25, 2026
The French Financial Markets Authority (Autorité des marchés financiers – AMF) published on November 10, 2026 the results of the Tender Offer initiated by EP FR HOLDCo, a company controlled by EP Group, for the outstanding shares and OCEANEs of Fnac Darty (the “Offer”), as well as the Offer reopening schedule.
12,131,427 Fnac Darty shares and 525,798 OCEANEs have been tendered to the Offer, which was open from May 12 to November 9, 2026 (inclusive).
In total, based on the number of shares outstanding at October 31, 2026 and taking into account the 28.5% stake already held by its affiliate VESA, EP Group holds, at the end of the initial acceptance period, 20,577,477 shares, representing 69.3% of the capital and the theoretical voting rights of Fnac Darty. The minimum condition that the offeror, alone or in concert, at the end of the initial acceptance period, hold a number of shares representing a fraction of the capital or voting rights of Fnac Darty in excess of 50% is thus satisfied.
Therefore, and in accordance with the AMF’s General Regulation, the Offer will reopen between November 12, 2026 and November 25, 2026 (inclusive). This reopening will allow shareholders and OCEANE holders who have not accepted the Offer to do so under unchanged conditions (€35 per share following payment on June 5, 2026 of the €1.0 dividend for the 2025 financial year, and €81.16 per OCEANE).
I welcome the successful outcome of this offer, which was unanimously recommended by our Board of Directors, as well as the broad support expressed by shareholders for EP Group’s project. We look forward to embarking on the next chapter of Fnac Darty’s history with our new controlling shareholder and to shaping the future of our Group together.
Enrique Martinez, Fnac Darty CEO
We are very pleased with the outcome of the Offer and with the confidence placed in us by Fnac Darty shareholders. Becoming the controlling shareholder of Fnac Darty marks an important milestone in our long-term investment in the company. We highly value Fnac Darty’s service-oriented omnichannel proposition, brand heritage and deep retail expertise, as well as leading positions in France, Italy, Belgium and Portugal and a strong and growing presence in Spain and Switzerland. We believe in its long-term potential and are committed to supporting its continued development and look forward to working constructively with the management team led by Enrique Martinez and with all of the company’s stakeholders to support Fnac Darty’s future growth and reinforce its leadership position on a European scale.
Daniel Křetínský, Chairman of EP Group
