Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd Confirms France and Belgium MFA Renewals on Track
Domino’s confirms France and Belgium master franchise agreements on track for renewal
Domino’s Pizza Enterprises Ltd (ASX:DMP) has confirmed that its Master Franchise Agreements (MFAs) for France and Belgium are progressing toward renewal, with both agreements extended to a new date to allow for legal completion.
The MFAs were originally due for renewal on 30 June 2026 and have now been extended to 30 September 2026. The Company expects the agreements to be renewed and, although the process remains incomplete, it is described as well advanced with broad commercial alignment.
The extension is to enable the completion of definitive legal agreements and compliance with local-law requirements.

Why the agreements were extended to 30 September 2026
The additional time allows the Company to finalise definitive legal agreements and satisfy regulatory renewal preconditions required under local law.
Among those preconditions are mandatory notice periods that must be observed before the renewal can be formally completed. By extending both MFAs, Domino’s has provided the necessary window for these legal and regulatory steps to conclude.
Key facts from the update include:
-
Original renewal date: 30 June 2026
-
New extended date: 30 September 2026
-
Status: process well advanced with broad commercial alignment
-
Reason for extension: completion of definitive legal agreements plus local-law preconditions, including mandatory notice periods
What a Master Franchise Agreement is and why it matters to investors
A Master Franchise Agreement (MFA) is the contractual arrangement under which Domino’s Pizza Enterprises operates in a specific country or territory.
In practical terms, these agreements form the legal foundation for the Company’s presence in its European markets. Without a valid MFA, an operator cannot run or expand the Domino’s network in that jurisdiction.
The renewal of the France and Belgium MFAs is therefore foundational to the Company’s continued operation in those two markets.
The announcement does not disclose store counts, revenue contributions, or market-size data for France or Belgium.
