But if a partial agreement is reached, this does not bind creditors who do not consent, meaning that other ways to get them on board would be sought, it noted.</p> <p class="mol-para-with-font">Additionally, under French law, the opening of a conciliation procedure would override events of default in the debt instruments, the statement added.</p> <p class="mol-para-with-font">However, the CDDC concluded that this alone was not sufficient to trigger a bankruptcy credit event.</p> <p class="mol-para-with-font">A separate question was posed to the committee on Friday on whether a "failure to pay" credit event had occurred for Casino.
The committee has not decided yet whether to accept the question.</p> <p class="mol-para-with-font">A number of circumstances can constitute a credit event, which can trigger a payout on credit default swaps which insure against losses from exposure to corporate or sovereign debt.</p> <p class="mol-para-with-font">There were $428 million of net notional Casino CDS outstanding as of May 19, according to data from securities clearing and settlement firm DTCC.</p> <p class="mol-para-with-font">Casino has been plagued for years by hefty debt following a string of acquisitions and by declining revenue and loss of market share in an increasingly competitive domestic market.
