In addition, for the purposes of Note 1 on Rule 28.1 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, Fnac confirms that the below sentence contained in the statement is a long-term aspirational target and not an indication of the likely level of profits for Fnac for the current financial period or any subsequent financial periods. The sentence below is not a new statement and has been made by Fnac publicly on a number of occasions since its IPO. The assumptions on which this aspirational target is based should also be noted.
"In the longer term, Fnac, on a stand-alone basis and irrespective of the Darty transaction, confirms its current operating profitability target of above 3%, after finalization of the transformation of its business model and under stabilized market and macroeconomic conditions."
