加國巨頭撤退!47億美元收購7-Eleven夭折背後原因揭秘




加拿大零售巨頭Couche-Tard撤回470億美元收購日本7&i控股的要約

東京消息——加拿大零售商Alimentation Couche-Tard周三宣布,因日本零售商7&i控股缺乏建設性回應,決定撤回其470億美元的收購要約。此舉令原本有望成為日本最大外資收購案的交易告吹,Couche-Tard原本意圖透過收購7-Eleven背後的7&i控股,打造全球最大便利店集團。

Couche-Tard在致董事會的信中表示:「7&i並無真誠或具建設性的溝通以推動任何提案,與7&i代表公開說法截然不同。」信中更指責7&i進行「有計劃的混淆和拖延」,嚴重損害7&i及其股東利益。

7&i則回應稱:「對於Couche-Tard的決定感到失望,並不同意其多項誤導性指控,但這並不令人意外。」

7&i控股被視為日本企業對外資收購態度的一大試金石,此次撤回發生在日本新日鐵住金成功以149億美元收購美國鋼鐵公司之後。7&i股價在東京早盤大跌9%。

香港Maso Capital聯合創辦人兼共同投資主管Manoj Jain表示:「我們對7&i似乎缺乏合作意願感到非常失望。我們相信合併能為股東創造巨大價值,並已向管理層和董事會表達這一觀點。」

Couche-Tard去年10月將出價從385億美元提高至470億美元,今年3月更表示願意進一步加價,前提是7&i合作並披露更多財務資料。雙方曾就出售部分門店達成合作意向,旨在緩解監管障礙。

在7&i創始人伊藤家族出價580億美元的白衣騎士方案因融資失敗告吹後,Couche-Tard的收購計劃似乎逐漸獲得動力。然而,Couche-Tard稱曾試圖與伊藤家族接觸,但對方不願合作。

雙方簽署了保密協議,但Couche-Tard在信中指出:「允許的盡職調查數量和內容,包括兩次極為有限的管理層會議,幾乎可以忽略不計。」

尋求替代方案 無法繼續推進合併

Couche-Tard表示,全面合併將最大化股東價值,但亦曾考慮其他方案。該公司提出收購7&i日本以外的所有業務及日本境內40%業務,便利店在日本被視為重要基礎設施,尤其在自然災害時發揮關鍵作用。

「若無7&i高層和特別委員會更深入且真誠的溝通,我們無法有效推動此合併。」Couche-Tard在信中寫道。

7&i曾提出將國際業務出售予Couche-Tard,換取其在加拿大公司的股份,但Couche-Tard認為此方案「無法為7&i股東帶來我們提案中所承諾的顯著溢價」。

7&i於今年5月任命首位外籍CEO Stephen Dacus,面對收益表現不佳的壓力,須證明公司能自主成長。公司已展開股票回購、出售非核心資產,並計劃上市北美便利店業務。

7&i強調:「我們仍全面致力於獨立創造價值的計劃,並持續推進。」

評論與啟示

這宗被視為外資收購日本大型企業的試金石案最終告吹,反映出日本企業文化中對外來控制權的高度防範心態。Couche-Tard雖財力雄厚,願意大幅加價以促成交易,但7&i仍採取拖延戰術,顯示日本企業在面對外資收購時,往往更傾向維持現狀甚至尋求內部解決方案。

這反映了日本市場特有的企業治理結構和文化,強調家族或內部利益的保護,而非快速股東價值最大化。7&i的創始家族及管理層顯然不願輕易放棄控制權,這與西方市場上普遍的收購合併文化形成鮮明對比。即使在全球化和資本流動日益頻繁的今天,企業文化和治理習慣仍是影響併購成功與否的關鍵因素。

此外,7&i在面對獨立成長的壓力下,選擇回歸基本面,透過資產重組和股東回報計劃來提升公司價值,這或許是日本企業對抗外資收購的另一種策略。對投資者而言,這提醒我們在評估跨國收購案時,不能僅看價格和財務條件,更要深入理解目標企業背後的文化和治理結構。

最後,這宗交易的失敗或將影響未來外資對日本大型企業的併購態度,促使投資者更謹慎評估日本市場的獨特風險與機遇。Couche-Tard雖然暫時撤退,但全球便利店業的競爭格局仍在變化,未來是否有其他策略或合作模式,值得持續關注。
