Seven & i's Strategic Challenges: Seven & i, a Japanese convenience store company, faces pressure from shareholders after its founding family abandoned efforts to take the company private, resulting in an 11% drop in stock prices. The company is now urged to engage with Canadian suitor Alimentation Couche-Tard to navigate potential U.S. antitrust issues.
Shareholder Engagement and Future Plans: As the annual general meeting approaches, shareholders may propose new directors and strategies to unlock value, including possibly selling its stake in Seven Bank. Meanwhile, Couche-Tard remains committed to finding a mutually beneficial transaction despite the challenges.
