Darty announces the launch of a comprehensive refinancing package

London, 14 February 2014

Darty plc ("Darty") today announces the launch of a comprehensive refinancing package (the "Refinancing") comprising two key components.

The first component of the Refinancing is a new five year committed multicurrency revolving credit facility agreement of up to €250 million (the "New Credit Facility") entered into on 13 February 2014 by Darty's wholly owned subsidiary Darty Financement SAS, and guaranteed on a senior basis by Darty, Kesa Holdings Limited and Kesa International Limited.

The second component of the Refinancing is the launch today of an offering (the "Offering") by Darty Financement SAS of €250 million Senior Notes due 2021 (the "Notes") to be guaranteed on a senior basis by Darty, Kesa Holdings Limited and Kesa International Limited. Darty expects that the offering will close, and the Notes will be issued, by 28 February 2014.

Darty intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with borrowings to be made under the New Credit Facility, for the following purposes:

(i) to repay all outstanding amounts, and to cancel all outstanding commitments, under Darty's existing €455 million Revolving Credit Facility and,

(ii) to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Refinancing.

The Notes are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
