加拿大便利店巨頭 Couche-Tard 洽購 Seven & i, 美國反壟斷成阻力?




加拿大Couche-Tard對收購日本Seven & i Holdings的信心增強

東京(路透社) – 加拿大的Alimentation Couche-Tard於週二表示,對於獲得美國監管機構批准收購日本Seven & i Holdings持有信心,儘管後者指出反壟斷法將成為交易的障礙。

該公司還表示,對Seven & i的有限互動感到沮喪,儘管雙方已開始合作,計劃出售美國的店鋪,以獲得監管批准。

這兩家公司是美國便利店市場的兩大主要玩家,擁有約20,000個門店。七&i的首席執行官Stephen Dacus上週被任命,他重申合併面臨重大監管障礙。

Couche-Tard在一份聲明中表示,根據Seven & i的要求,其於一月份提交了修訂版的非約束性提案,並對其融資計劃充滿信心,該計劃包括債務和股權的組合,旨在維持其強勁的投資級信用評級。

聲明中指出:「我們的提案為股東提供了明確的經濟價值,與七&i上週宣布的多次修訂計劃相比,具有更明顯的優勢。」

Seven & i尚未立即回應置評請求。

深入分析:合併的挑戰與機遇

Couche-Tard與Seven & i之間的合併談判顯示了當前企業併購中所面臨的複雜性。雖然Couche-Tard對獲得監管批准充滿信心,但反壟斷法的障礙無疑會影響這一交易的進程。這不僅是法律問題,更是市場競爭的反映,顯示出兩家公司在便利店市場的主導地位。

從投資者的角度來看,Couche-Tard的提案提供了明確的經濟價值,這對股東來說是一個重要的考量因素。然而,Seven & i的反應卻顯示出它對於合併的謹慎態度,這可能反映了它對未來市場競爭的擔憂。

在這種情況下,Couche-Tard需要加強與Seven & i的溝通,尋求更積極的合作方式,以便在監管審查中獲得更有利的結果。同時,企業在進行併購時,必須充分考慮市場的動態變化,制定靈活的應對策略,以應對可能出現的挑戰和機會。

Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a captivating studio portrait of a woman with long, wavy brown hair, seated gracefully on a stool in a thoughtful pose. She is wearing a long, flowing red gown with a one-shoulder design and a thigh-high slit, exuding elegance and sophistication. Her head is slightly tilted, with one hand gently resting on her chin. One leg is slightly extended, revealing a delicate ankle bracelet. Her makeup is polished and natural, featuring defined eyebrows, subtle eyeshadow, mascara, and a berry-toned lipstick. She wears delicate earrings and a gold bracelet that add a touch of sparkle to her overall look. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating a warm and flattering effect that emphasizes her beauty and the flowing lines of the gown. The background is a plain, brown, providing a warm and neutral backdrop. *** The composition is a full shot, capturing her from head to toe, framed vertically to accentuate her height and the flowing lines of the gown. The model is positioned in the center of the frame, creating a balanced and harmonious composition. The overall style is classic, elegant, and timeless, reminiscent of portrait photography, evoking a sense of grace, sophistication, and enduring beauty. Create a photorealistic and highly detailed image featuring the attached image walking confidently down a modern city street, accompanied by Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Jason Momoa acting as bodyguards.
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is walking just beside or slightly behind the subject, holding an umbrella over him to shield from light rain.
The subject should be the central figure, wearing stylish casual clothing — like a fitted jacket, dark jeans, and sunglasses — exuding calm authority and cool charisma.
Statham, The Rock, and Momoa are dressed in black tactical-style suits, maintaining alert, protective stances, scanning the surroundings like professional bodyguards. John Wick wears his signature black suit and tie, looking composed as he holds the umbrella.
The setting is a downtown urban street with wet pavement reflecting city lights, parked luxury cars, and paparazzi in the background snapping photos.
The photo should look like a real paparazzi shot — slightly off-angle, mid-step motion blur, with realistic lighting and reflections.
Lighting: natural daylight with overcast skies, reflections from wet concrete, realistic shadows, subtle raindrops on the umbrella and clothing.
Camera realism: crisp detail on facial features and clothing textures, shallow depth of field emphasizing the group, with lens flare or light bloom for authenticity.
Mood & tone: grounded, cinematic, and stylish — feels like a moment from a celebrity entourage photo or action-movie press capture, taken with an iPhone by paparazzi.
Style: ultra-realistic, documentary-style street photography with modern cinematic sharpness. [Subject]: Young Asian female with "Imada Mio-inspired" doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large round expressive eyes, a small V-line face, and rosy cheeks. Her expression is innocent, energetic, and slightly flirty. [Hair]: Messy morning hair (剛睡醒的凌亂感), long dark brown hair, slightly tousled, natural volume. [Outfit]: Wearing an oversized translucent white button-down shirt (男友風白襯衫), unbuttoned at the top to reveal collarbones, creating a "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格). [Style]: Japanese Gravure Photobook style (寫真集風格), Pure & Sexy vibe, bright high-key lighting, soft skin texture, Fujifilm PRO 400H color tone.
