最新报道:Trading in Japan's Seven & i Holdings shares was halted after Canada's Alimentation Couche-Tard withdrew its $47 billion bid to acquire the convenience store operator. The Japanese firm rejected the unsolicited offer, citing undervaluation and strategic misalignment. Couche-Tard had proposed acquiring Seven & i at ¥6,700 per share, a 30% premium over its recent trading price. The failed bid highlights challenges foreign investors face in Japan's M&A market, where corporate governance reforms remain slow. Seven & i operates over 70,000 7-Eleven stores globally, while Couche-Tard runs Circle K and other chains across 26 countries.
