Regulatory News:
Groupe SEB (Paris:SK) acknowledges the press release published
by the French Competition Authority on December 19, 2024, with
respect to an inquiry launched in October 2013, into France’s
domestic appliance manufacturing and distribution sector.
The French Competition Authority has penalized a number of
domestic appliance manufacturers and distributors. The Authority
imposed to Groupe SEB France and Groupe SEB Retailing a fine of €
189,5 million for allegedly imposing fixed selling prices to its
distributors during the 2008-2013 period. However, the Authority
ruled out the existence of a horizontal agreement regarding
statistical information that is shared through a trade
association.
Groupe SEB has always acted in its customers’ best interests and
for the benefit of French consumers, in strict compliance with the
regulations in force. Groupe SEB therefore categorically refutes
the French Competition Authority’s findings brought against the
Group and denies all allegations that its practices have not
complied comply with competition rules.
Groupe SEB will take note of the Authority’s ruling and will
lodge an appeal to the Paris Court of Appeals, confident in its
ability to prove that the Authority’s ruling has no legal or
factual validity.
Groupe SEB reaffirms its strong commitment to strictly observing
the law, and particularly competition laws.
