The president, Johannes Soënnen, who arrived at the head of the chain last September, is financially supported by three funds, CVC Credit Partners, Farallon and GoldenTree. According to the unions, this offer would consist in taking over the company for 2 million euros, and adding 30 million equity. With the abolition of 250 stores, or 40% of the current fleet, of 1,246 positions including 116 in central services, and the outsourcing of logistics. This offer is subject to obtaining a loan guaranteed by the State (PGE), which was again requested for an amount of 45 million euros.
