Withdrawal of Takeover Bid: Alimentation Couche-Tard has withdrawn its $47 billion proposal to acquire Seven & i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven, after a year of unsuccessful negotiations and perceived lack of good faith from Seven & i.
Historical Context: The interest in acquiring 7-Eleven dates back decades, with formal bids starting in 2024; however, regulatory concerns and internal rivalries hindered the potential merger, leading to a significant drop in Seven & i's stock following the announcement.
