EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by Segisor S.A.S. (“Segisor”), Casino, Guichard-Perrachon S.A. (“Casino”), France Retail Holdings S.à.r.l. (“FRH”), EP Equity Investment III S.à.r.l. (“EP Equity III”), EP Equity Investment S.à.r.l. (“EP Equity”), EP Investment S.à.r.l. (“EP Investment”) and Daniel Křetínský (“Mr. Křetínský”), and relates to the common shares, no par value (“Common Shares”), of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (the “Issuer”). The persons making this filing and named in the foregoing sentence are collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons.”

As disclosed in a Schedule 13G filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 10, 2022, Casino, through various controlled entities including Segisor, acquired more than five percent of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Shares prior to the Issuer’s registration in 2020 of the Common Shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. As such, Segisor and Casino were eligible to file a report on Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d) under the Exchange Act. Following the sale of a majority stake in Casino to entities ultimately controlled by Mr. Křetinský (namely, FRH, EP Equity III, EP Equity and EP Investment), Mr. Křetinský and such entities are now greater-than-five-percent beneficial owners of the Issuer’s Common Shares. Because FRH, EP Equity III, EP Equity, EP Investment and Mr. Křetinský are not eligible to file a report on Schedule 13G, they are filing this report on Schedule 13D, along with Segisor and Casino, now majority-controlled by them, to report their ownership in the Issuer.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

In 1999, Casino acquired Common Shares and preferred shares, without par value (the “Preferred Shares”), of the Issuer, representing on a combined basis 24.5% of the total shares of the Issuer, for €615.3 million (including €183 million of debentures convertible into Preferred Shares). In 2005, Casino entered into an agreement with Grupo Diniz, pursuant to which each of Casino and Grupo Diniz contributed their Common Share holdings to Wilkes Participações S.A. (“Wilkes”), with each entitled to a 50% voting interest in Wilkes. In 2012, Casino became the controlling equity holder of Wilkes, and in 2013 became, directly or indirectly, the sole equity holder of Wilkes. In 2015 and 2016, Casino, through its controlled subsidiaries, acquired additional Preferred Shares of the Issuer for a total of €11 million, resulting in indirect ownership of approximately 41.6% of the total shares of the Issuer. All outstanding Preferred Shares were converted into Common Shares on February 28, 2020. As a result of a series of internal reorganizations in 2022 and 2023, Casino, through its controlled subsidiaries, came to own approximately 40.9% of the Common Shares of the Issuer indirectly through Segisor and an additional wholly-owned subsidiary of Casino. On March 14, 2024, the Issuer implemented a capital increase which diluted Casino’s indirect ownership in the Issuer to approximately 22.5% of the Common Shares of the Issuer.

On March 27, 2024, as part of the financial restructuring of Casino and its subsidiaries, FRH acquired a 57.0% interest in Casino in exchange for an equity contribution of €925 million.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in or incorporated by reference in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

Segisor and Casino acquired the securities for strategic investment purposes. FRH, EP Equity III, EP Equity, EP Investment and Mr. Křetínský acquired the stake in Casino and its assets, including the Common Shares, for strategic investment purposes.

The Reporting Persons will continuously review their investment in Issuer, and as part of the ongoing financial restructuring of Casino, they intend to eventually dispose of certain or all of Casino’s Latin American assets, including the securities of the Issuer. However, depending on market, economic and industry conditions, their continuing evaluation of the business, strategies, prospects, management, governance, operations, performance, financial matters, capital structure and prospects, market positions, strategic and other transactions of the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities and changes in applicable law and/or regulations and all other factors that may be deemed relevant, the Reporting Persons may from time to time dispose of or acquire additional securities of the Issuer. Subject to market conditions and other factors described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may also seek to monetize their securities in the Issuer through various transactions, including, without limitation, derivative transactions or a pledge of their interests in the securities of the Issuer as collateral for liquidity purposes.

Currently, four members of the nine-member board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) were appointed or nominated for election by Casino. On January 11, 2024, the shareholders of the Issuer elected (or reelected) nine directors, two of whom were nominated, formally or informally, by Casino. These nine directors are expected to take office on or about April 18, 2024. Casino does not have any contractual or other right (other than its ability to vote the Common Shares reported herein) to appoint directors to the Board or nominate director nominees for election to the Board. The Reporting Persons may and expect that they will engage, including through the directors formally or informally nominated by Casino, in discussions with the Issuer’s management and/or Board, other stockholders of the Issuer and other interested parties that may relate to the business, management, operations (including cost structure), assets, capitalization, financial condition, strategic plans, governance, Board composition and the future of the Issuer. In particular, the Reporting Persons may and expect that they will engage, including through the directors described above, in discussions with the Issuer’s management and/or Board in the Issuer’s ongoing evaluation and determination of how to proceed regarding its listing on the New York Stock Exchange (as previously disclosed by the Issuer), in light of its non-compliance with the exchange’s rules for failure to meet the $1.00 average closing price requirement. The Reporting Persons may also in the future consider such other matters described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, the Reporting Persons may hold discussions with or make informal recommendations or formal proposals to the Issuer’s management or Board (including any special committees of the Board) and their respective advisors, other holders of the Issuer’s securities, industry analysts, financial sponsors, existing or potential strategic partners, actual or potential sources of capital and other third parties regarding such matters.

Page 11 of 13

Certain of the Reporting Persons (or their subsidiaries) are party to commercial agreements with the Issuer or certain of its subsidiaries. Currently, except as disclosed herein, the Reporting Persons have no plans in respect of these commercial agreements that would involve transactions of the sort described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, and such agreements do not otherwise relate to securities of the Issuer within the meaning of Item 6 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may from time to time, however, be involved in transactions of the sort described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D in connection with these commercial arrangements. Other than as required by Items 4 or 6 of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not anticipate making any public disclosures in connection with its participation in routine transactions and activities of the Issuer, including under these commercial arrangements, separate and apart from relevant public disclosures by the Issuer.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The information set forth in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on the respective cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2 and 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a) and (b):

As of the date of this filing:

(i)

Segisor is the record owner of 100,200,831 Common Shares, representing approximately 20.4% of the Common Shares outstanding.

(ii)

Due to the relationship described in Item 2, Casino is or may be deemed to beneficially own (i) the 100,200,831 Common Shares held by Segisor and (ii) 10,275,742 Common Shares held of record by an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Casino, which individually does not hold more than 5% of Common Shares. Accordingly, Casino is, or may be deemed, to beneficially own an aggregate of 110,476,573 Common Shares, representing approximately 22.5% of the Common Shares outstanding.

(iii)

Due to the relationships described in Item 2, each of FRH, EP Equity III, EP Equity, EP Investment and Mr. Křetínský are, or may be deemed, to beneficially own an aggregate of 110,476,573 Common Shares, representing approximately 22.5% of the Common Shares outstanding.

The percentage ownerships reported in this Item 5 are based on 490,139,069 Common Shares outstanding as provided by the Issuer to the Reporting Persons.

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership in all Common Shares reported herein, except to the extent of its respective pecuniary interest therein.

(c)

Except as described in Item 3 to this Schedule 13D and internal transfers amongst direct and/or indirect subsidiaries of Casino, during the past 60 days, none of the Reporting Persons, and to the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the Covered Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Shares.

(d)

To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, no one other than the Reporting Persons and their respective members, shareholders and affiliates has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Not applicable.
