The three reasons

  1. 1

    Rallye, Finatis, Euris and Foncière Euris entering procédure de sauvegarde vindicates MW's 2015 warnings

  2. 2

    Casino has been siphoned for years to service the unsustainable debt of its parent holdings

  3. 3

    Naouri ran the holdings as a de facto hedge-fund structure serving his personal interests

Primary demands

  • Urge AMF to focus on short-seller warnings rather than investigating the messengers
  • End Naouri-orchestrated siphoning of Casino assets and liquidity to prop up parent holdings

KPIs cited

Casino workforce at risk
over 220,000 employees whose jobs are less secure due to continued siphoning

Notes

French-language press release (2 pages; page 2 is only press-contact info) reacting same-day to Rallye/Finatis/Euris/Foncière Euris entering procédure de sauvegarde on 2019-05-24. Positions itself as vindication of Muddy Waters' December 2015 short thesis on Casino/Rallye. Notable meta-commentary: MW says it was forced to close its short positions in late 2016 after Naouri secured support from 'influential people', cancelled a follow-up report, and is itself under AMF investigation — so this is simultaneously a victory-lap, a post-mortem on a silenced campaign, and a plea for short-seller legitimacy in France. No valuation work, charts, or visuals; plain Word-style memo layout.
