(Reuters) -French retailer Casino said on Thursday it had launched a study for the potential disposal of part of its stake in Brazilian cash-and-carry chain Assai as it looks to reduce its debt.

The company, which has been facing concerns over high debts and low cash flows and hopes to complete a 4.5-billion-euro ($4.52 billion) disposal plan by the end of 2023, said a sale would raise about $500 million, depending on market conditions.

The move offers reassurance on Casino's ability to respect its covenants in the first quarter next year, leading to the closing of short positions, Clement Genelot, an analyst at Bryan Garnier, said.

"I'm not saying that all the problems of the group are resolved (...) but at least, we have saved some time," he told Reuters in a call.

"Casino saves the first ball game," analysts at JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) wrote in a note, adding that the company had delivered on "the most controversial areas" of covenants and liquidity.

As part of its efforts to cut debt, Casino last week sealed the sale of its renewable energy business GreenYellow to Ardian, generating proceeds of 600 million euros.

Casino shares rose as much as 30.5% in early trading, topping France's large- and mid-cap index SBF 120.

The company is banking on an expansion of convenience stores located in city centres and its focus on e-commerce, notably home delivery through partnerships with Ocado (LON:OCDO) or Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

"If we take an average since the beginning of the year, we have opened a Franprix every two days and a Casino convenience store every day," Chief Financial Officer David Lubek told reporters.

The firm's third-quarter total consolidated net sales rose 5.4% to 8.55 billion euros on a same-store basis from a year earlier, supported by growth in domestic and Latin American markets against an inflationary backdrop.

Carrefour (EPA:CARR), Europe's largest food retailer, on Wednesday raised its cash-flow target for this year as sales growth accelerated in the third quarter.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Casino and Intermarche on Thursday won the backing of Europe's top court in their fight against EU antitrust regulators and their attempt to investigate the French supermarket groups' buying alliance.

The case underscores the increasing willingness by some companies to challenge the EU competition watchdog on what they perceive as regulatory over-reach and excessive demands for information.

The European Commission had in 2017 ordered the companies to submit to an inspection on suspicions of anti-competitive practices. It subsequently launched an investigation into their 2014 purchasing alliance which was dissolved in 2018.

Casino and Intermarche protested against the actions and took their case to Europe's top courts.

The Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) annulled the EU antitrust watchdog's decision.

Judges said the information obtained by the Commission to justify its demands to the companies "are not substantiated by sufficiently serious indicia".

The CJEU also criticised the competition agency for not recording interviews with the companies' suppliers.

"That obligation applies irrespective of whether the interview in question was conducted before the formal opening of an investigation, in order to collect indicia of an infringement, or afterwards, for the purpose of collecting evidence of an infringement," the court said.

The cases are C-682/20 P Les Mousquetaires et ITM Entreprises v Commission, C-690/20 P Casino, Guichard-Perrachon et Achats Marchandises Casino vCommission, and C-693/20 P Intermarché Casino Achats v Commission.

Casino Guichard Perrachon (EPA:CASP) stock rose 1.8% after the French supermarket group unveiled a fresh stake sale in Brazilian cash-and-carry chain Assai as part of its ongoing plan to address its sizeable debt pile.

In equity news, cash-strapped French retailer Casino said Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky is leading a €1.35bn rescue plan, which could satisfy the chain's target of raising €900m in new equity.

Retailer Casino (EPA:CASP) posted an operating loss in the first half of 2023, as falling sales and price cuts at its hypermarkets and supermarkets hit its core French operations.

French supermarket chain Casino Guichard-Perrachon's shares surged by 4% to €1.78 on Tuesday, sparked by an in-principle agreement with a majority of its creditors to extend the maturity date for senior secured notes worth €553 million ($591.2 million). The notes, issued by the group's property management entity Quatrim, were originally due in January 2024 but have now been postponed to January 2027.

The new agreement also ensures the protection of Quatrim's assets. This extension is anticipated to grant enough time for the property entity within the group to initiate a plan for asset sales, which would consequently enable Quatrim to lower its debt.

Casino has been wrestling with debt reduction efforts for some time, aiming to maintain its operations amidst financial difficulties. As of the end of June, the company's net debt was noted at €6.1 billion, a slight decrease from €6.4 billion at the end of the previous year.

This recent agreement comes after another in-principle deal that Casino achieved in July with a consortium including EP Global Commerce, Fimalac, and Attestor along with other creditors, which consisted of French banks. These agreements underscore Casino's continued efforts to negotiate with creditors and manage its debt effectively.

PARIS (Reuters) - Shares in French retailer Casino were suspended on Wednesday pending a statement, boosting speculation a final debt restructuring deal with creditors led by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky to avert bankruptcy could be imminent.

In July, France's sixth largest retailer reached an agreement in principle with a consortium led by Kretinsky's company EPGC - alongside Casino's biggest creditor Attestor, and second-biggest shareholder Fimalac - to restructure its 6.4 billion euros ($6.7 billion) debt pile.

The deal, which massively dilutes shareholders, would bring an end to the 30-year reign of Casino CEO and controlling shareholder Jean-Charles Naouri, 74, who controls Casino via his listed holding company Rallye.

Under the timetable released in July, the consortium aimed to finalise a binding lock-up agreement by Sept. 30 at the latest and complete all restructuring in the first quarter of 2024.

On Sept. 29, Casino extended the lock-up agreement deadline to Oct. 3, fuelling expectations an announcement was to come this week.

Casino shares, which have lost 88% of their value so far this year, were suspended for one-day on Wednesday at the request of the company, which had no further comment.

Under the July agreement, 1.2 billion euros of new money would be injected into Casino and its 6.4 billion euros of debt would be restructured. A consortium led by Kretinsky would end up owning between 50.4% and 53% of Casino shares.
