PRESS RELEASE
Fnac Darty enters into exclusive
negotiations with Mirage Retail Group
for the envisaged sale of BCC in the
Netherlands
Ivry, September 28th 2020 - Fnac Darty
today announces it has entered into exclusive negotiations with
Mirage Retail Group for the envisaged sale of 100% of BCC, its
Dutch subsidiary, for a symbolic price.
BCC is a well-established and longstanding
consumer electronics brand in the Netherlands, with a dense and
qualitative network of 62 stores, a strong digital presence and
performing omni-channel logistic capabilities. Fnac Darty launched
in January 2020 an active search for a new partner in order to
allow BCC to fully seize its market opportunities.
Mirage is the retail platform behind a number of
trusted retail formats in the Netherlands, including Blokker, Big
Bazar and Intertoys, and more recently the innovative Miniso retail
format. Mirage evolved from the former Blokker Holding and has a
long history on the Dutch High Street. Mirage specializes in
turn-around strategies for retail, combining its extensive
knowledge and experience in retail, real estate and logistics to
manage profitable and future-proof retail brands.
Fnac Darty is convinced that this envisaged
transaction will enable BCC to benefit from the right support to
successfully perform on its market.
The transaction is notably subject to the
consultation of the relevant work councils and the required
regulatory approvals and completion is expected during Q4 2020.
