The call option on the stake, currently held by ING, will remain open until 30 June 2010 at EUR5 (US$6.71) per share.
A spokesperson for Casino highlighted that the call option is not a firm commitment to buy the stock.
“The call option gives us the right, not obligation to buy the stock. A decision on that has yet to be reached and will depend on a variety of issues,” the spokesperson told just-food.
An option to buy a 6.2% stake in Super de Boer held by ING, Royal Bank of Scotland and Rabobank expired on 31 March.
