Mr Bricolage notes that there will be no merger between the Kingfisher and Mr Bricolage Groups.

In light of communications from the ANPF and Kingfisher, it appears that no proposed engagement compatible with the concerns of the Anti-trust Authority, the merger objectives and the respective interests of the Kingfisher and Mr Bricolage Groups was able to be identified.

The Mr Bricolage SA Board of Directors who met today noted (representatives of the Tabur family having expressed their disagreement) that the merger of the two groups could not be authorised in the timeframe agreed upon by the parties and thus would not take place.

Jean François Boucher, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board at Mr Bricolage SA commented: 'Personally, I wanted and defended this merger with Kingfisher, which was based on the project we envisioned together. Our future is in our hands and I am certain that we will know how to transform this disappointment into success.'
Mr Bricolage is relying on strong fundamentals enabling it to continue its growth independently.
Number 1 in DIY in France, Mr Bricolage has a network of 866 stores in France and abroad achieving a turnover of 2.2 billion € including tax, with a healthy statement of accounts and satisfying results in 2014. In 2015 the group will continue its expansion in France and abroad.
Public trading of Mr Bricolage will be resumed on the Euronext Paris market on 31
March at 9 am.
