In a statement sent to the CNMV, DIA claims to be evaluating “other strategic options” for the sale of these stores.
“Regarding (…) the Beauty by DIA, SAU (Clarel) share purchase and sale agreement signed on December 22, 2022 between DIA Retail España, SAU, as seller, and C2 Private Capital, SL as buyer, The Company informs that, in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, not having fulfilled all its suspensive conditions before July 31, 2023, the Contract has been automatically terminated”, the company has sent to the CNMV.
