Fnac Darty S.A. (the “Company”), today announces the results of the repurchase of a part of its bonds
convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares (OCEANEs) due March 2027 (the

The Company has collected, via a reverse bookbuilding process launched on March 31, indications
of interest from holders of the outstanding bonds convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable
for existing shares due March 23, 2027 (FR0014002JO2) (the “OCEANEs”).

As at the close of this reverse bookbuilding process carried out by Natixis, the Company has decided
to accept the repurchase of 1,915,033 OCEANEs in an aggregate principal amount of €155.2 million,
representing approximately 77.6% of the aggregate number of the OCEANEs initially issued.

The repurchase price pursuant to this process was set at €77.25 per OCEANE representing a total
consideration of approximately €147.9 million.

The settlement of the Repurchase is expected to take place on April 8, 2025 and is conditional upon
the settlement of the new €300 million senior notes due 2032 to be issued by the Company on 2 April
2025.

The OCEANEs accepted by the Company in the Repurchase will be cancelled thereafter in
accordance with their terms and conditions.
