Antitrust Commission approves sale of Fust to Coop

The Swiss Antitrust Commission decided per end of July 2007 to investigate in more detail the planned divestiture of Jelmoli's domestic appliances and multimedia segment to Coop. After an extensive examination procedure, the commission has found that this merger can be approved subject to two acceptable conditions.

Consequently this transaction will now go ahead as planned per end of November 2007. The conditions stipulated by the Swiss Antitrust Commission have no effect on the agreed sales price.
