Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Casino financed its purchases pursuant to the Offers (as defined in Item 4 below) with available cash on hand.

Item 4.
Purpose of the Transaction.

On December 27, 2016 Casino launched concurrent offers to purchase any and all Cnova ordinary shares for US$ 5.50 per share in cash in the United States (the “U.S. Offer”) and in France (the “French Offer,” and together with the U.S. Offer, the “Offers”).  The Offers were the second and final transaction in a series of two transactions that together constituted a “going private” transaction, as such term is used in Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.  The first transaction in the series was the reorganization of Cnova’s Brazilian subsidiary within Via Varejo S.A., a Brazilian retailer indirectly controlled by Casino (“Via Varejo”), which was completed on October 31, 2016 (the “Reorganization” and together with the Offers, the “Transactions”).  In connection with its evaluation of the Reorganization and negotiation of the reorganization agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) which would govern its terms, and, particularly in connection with its evaluation of the fairness of any potential reorganization transaction to Cnova shareholders not affiliated with Casino, a transaction committee of independent Cnova directors (the “Cnova transaction committee”), bargained for an undertaking from Casino to launch the Offers so that unaffiliated Cnova shareholders would be presented with the ability to either elect to retain their interests in Cnova following the completion of the Reorganization or, instead, to tender their Cnova ordinary shares in the Offers and thereby receive a cash payment at a premium.

As a significant shareholder of both Cnova and Via Varejo, Casino’s primary purpose in supporting the Transactions as a shareholder of Cnova and in committing to launch the Offers was to maximize the value of its investment in both Cnova and Via Varejo and to offer an opportunity for liquidity to Cnova’s minority shareholders at a price that would be considered fair by the Cnova transaction committee. 

Depending upon, among other things, overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, the results of Cnova’s operations and/or the results of operations of other companies affiliated with Casino, and the availability of Cnova ordinary shares at prices that would make the purchase or sale of Cnova ordinary shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in Cnova through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in Cnova on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors including, without limitation,  Cnova’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of Cnova ordinary shares, conditions in the securities markets, general economic and industry conditions and the results of Cnova’s operations and/or the results of operations of other companies affiliated with Casino, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in Cnova as they deem appropriate including, without limitation: continuing to engage in communications with management and the Board of Directors of Cnova; engaging in discussions with shareholders of Cnova or other third parties about Cnova and the Reporting Persons’ investment, including potential business combinations or dispositions involving Cnova or certain of its businesses; making recommendations or proposals to Cnova concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition), potential business combinations or dispositions involving Cnova or certain of its businesses, or suggestions for improving Cnova’s financial and/or operational performance; discussing the advisability of terminating Cnova’s listing on Euronext Paris; acquiring additional Cnova ordinary shares pursuant statutory buy-out proceedings under Dutch law which Casino and CBD may jointly elect to institute or be required to institute by remaining unaffiliated minority shareholders; purchasing additional Cnova ordinary shares; selling some or all of their Cnova ordinary shares; engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to Cnova ordinary shares, including swaps and other derivative instruments; or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)
The information set forth on Schedule B hereto is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(a).  Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Cnova ordinary shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons.  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Cnova ordinary shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.


(b)
The information set forth on Schedule B hereto is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(a).  Each Reporting Person, as a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Cnova ordinary shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons.  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Cnova ordinary shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

(c)
Other than as set forth in this Item 5(c), no Reporting Person or any person listed on Schedule A  has engaged in any transactions with respect to Cnova ordinary shares in the last 60 days.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Joint Filing Agreement.  On February 10 2017, the Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement in which the Reporting Persons agreed to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of Cnova to the extent required by applicable law.  The Joint Filing Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.


Casino and CBD Support Letters.  In connection with the Reorganization, Casino and CBD made certain undertakings to each other pursuant to a letter agreement from CBD to Casino, dated August 8, 2016 (the “CBD support letter”) and a letter agreement addressed to an independent committee of the CBD board of directors formed for purposes of evaluation the Transactions and executed by Casino and CBD, dated August 8, 2016 (the “Casino-CBD commitment letter”).  The CBD support letter and the Casino-CBD commitment letter are intended to govern the parties’ ongoing relationship to each other in their capacity as shareholders of Cnova following completion of the Reorganization and the Offers.

The following describes the material provisions of the Casino-CBD commitment letter and the CBD support letter, included as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.  This summary does not purport to be complete, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such letters and the summary may not contain all of the information about the CBD support letter and the Casino-CBD commitment letter that may be important to Cnova shareholders.  Cnova shareholders are encouraged to read carefully the CBD support letter and the Casino-CBD commitment letter in their entirety.

1. CBD Support Letter.

Pursuant to the CBD support letter, CBD informed Casino that at the meeting held on August 8, 2016 the CBD board of directors unanimously resolved (i) to cause its voting rights to be exercised at any Cnova shareholders meeting in favor of the Reorganization and (ii) not to tender its Cnova ordinary shares (the “subject shares”) directly or indirectly into the Offers, nor otherwise dispose of or transfer the subject shares in any other manner or through any other instrument, including any derivative instruments until completion of the Offers.  CBD further agreed to stand alongside and cooperate with Casino in subsequent squeeze-out proceedings, if any, following completion of the Offers.

2. Casino-CBD Commitment Letter.

a. CBD Undertakings

Pursuant to the Casino-CBD commitment letter, CBD agreed (i) not to tender the subject shares directly or indirectly into the Offers and (ii) not to sell the subject shares on the market or transfer the subject shares in any other manner, and represented that it has not performed any of the actions described in clause (ii) since May 12, 2016.

Additionally, in the event that CBD decides to sell any of the subject shares to a third party, it agreed (i) to first offer the subject shares to Casino at the price offered by the third party and (ii) if Casino does not wish to acquire the subject shares or Casino and CBD do not agree on a purchase price for the subject shares, to require the proposed transferee to acquire up to the same portion of Casino’s shares in Cnova at approximately the same time and on the same conditions.

b. Casino Undertakings

From and after closing of the Reorganization and so long as Casino controls Cnova, Casino has agreed to the following:

i.
Director Designation Rights.  Casino will ensure that CBD has the right to designate at least one member to the Cnova board of directors so that the ratio of (i) non-independent members of the Cnova board of directors appointed by CBD divided by (ii) the total number of non-independent directors is at least equal to CBD’s economic interest in Cnova’s outstanding ordinary shares (such director or directors, the “CBD directors”);


ii.
Information Rights.  Casino will ensure that CBD and/or the CBD Directors have access to the following information with respect to Cnova:  (i) audited statutory and consolidated accounts, (ii) annual budget and forecast, (iii) half-year and quarterly accounts, (iv) annual report, (v) details of any material change in business, financial position or affairs and (vi) any other information that may be required for CBD to comply with Brazilian capital markets regulations.  Casino also agreed to cause Cnova to make members of Cnova’s senior management reasonably available to CBD or the CBD Directors;

iii.
Good Faith Consideration of an IPO.  If, as a result of the Offers, Cnova ordinary shares are no longer listed on NASDAQ or Euronext Paris, Casino has agreed to consider in good faith the opportunity to launch, in due time and depending on Cnova’s then-current strategic and financial objectives and then-prevailing market conditions, an initial public offering of Cnova or, as the case may be, any subsidiary thereof, which we refer to as an “IPO”;

iv.
Good Faith Consideration of a Fully Marketed Offering.  If, following the Offers, Cnova ordinary shares continue to be listed on NASDAQ or Euronext Paris, Casino agreed to consider in good faith the opportunity to launch a fully marketed offering, which we refer to as an “FMO,” through the sale of a significant portion of Cnova’s shares, aimed at increasing the free float and liquidity of Cnova ordinary shares;

v.
IPO or FMO Assessment Right.  CBD may require Casino to engage a first-tier advising bank selected by Casino to assess in good faith the opportunity of an IPO or an FMO and in both cases the opportunity and feasibility of a secondary placement (i.e., through the sale of existing shares of Cnova).  CBD may not exercise such right more than once in any two-year period;

vi.
IPO and FMO Priority.  If Casino or Cnova decides to initiate an IPO or FMO (including any secondary offering), CBD has the right to sell all of its shares as part of such offering, with priority over Casino with respect to up to 90% of the total shares to be offered in such secondary offering, subject to certain exceptions;

vii.
Tag Along Rights (Change-in-Control Transaction).  Casino has agreed that, if it intends to transfer any or all of its Cnova ordinary shares to any third party (except for sales among members of the Casino Group or the controlling affiliates of Casino), which transfer will constitute a change-in-control of Cnova, CBD will be entitled to require the transferee to acquire all of its shares in Cnova at approximately the same time and on the same conditions;

viii.
Tag Along Rights (Not a Change-in-Control Transaction).  Casino agreed that if it intends to transfer any or all of its Cnova ordinary shares to any third party (except for sales among members of the Casino Group or the controlling affiliates of Casino), which transfer will not constitute a change-in-control of Cnova, CBD will be entitled to require the transferee to acquire up to the same portion of the subject shares at approximately the same time and on the same conditions; and

ix.
Survival of Rights.  In the case of any reorganization or other corporate transaction involving Cnova resulting in an exchange, redemption or allotment of Cnova ordinary shares (other than in a transaction where CBD would have the right to sell all of its shares on the same conditions as Casino), Casino has agreed to ensure that CBD keeps the rights granted or receives rights similar to those granted by the Casino-CBD commitment letter with respect to the surviving entity.


The undertakings of Casino and CBD in the Casino-CBD commitment letter survive until the earliest of (i) the day when Casino no longer controls, directly or indirectly, Cnova, (ii) the day when CBD is no longer a shareholder of Cnova and (iii) August 8, 2041.

Other than as described in this Item 6, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Cnova.
