Couche-Tard擬470億美元收購7-11,簽署保密協議




加拿大便利店巨頭Couche-Tard與日本7-Eleven母公司Seven & i簽署保密協議,推動470億美元收購案

路透社報導,加拿大便利店集團Alimentation Couche-Tard(ACT)與日本零售巨頭Seven & i日前簽署了一份保密協議(NDA),允許Couche-Tard獲取Seven & i的財務資料,推動其約470億美元的收購計劃。這標誌著雙方收購談判取得重要進展。

Couche-Tard是加拿大及美國Circle-K便利店的營運商,自去年八月起便積極尋求收購Seven & i。Seven & i在聲明中表示,協議的詳細條款將會保密,且包括了一項「停火條款」,用以保護目標公司免受敵意收購。

Couche-Tard表示,獲得「充分盡職調查資料」將有助其改善收購提案。目前約470億美元的收購金額已是外國企業對日本公司歷來最大規模的收購出價。

Seven & i獨立特別委員會主席Paul Yonamine稱,簽署保密協議是與Couche-Tard積極對話的正面進展。此前因Couche-Tard拒絕接受一些友好交易的「標準保護措施」,例如停火條款,雙方一直未能簽署NDA。

Seven & i亦指出,美國反壟斷審查是該交易面臨的主要障礙,但自今年三月起,雙方已開始合作尋找超過2000家可能需剝離的門店買家。

在應對收購提案的同時,Seven & i加快了管理層及業務重整,包括出售非核心業務、任命新任CEO及提名四名新董事。

代理投票顧問機構Institutional Shareholder Services(ISS)已建議股東支持任命新CEO Stephen Dacus及新董事會成員。Seven & i股價於周四東京早盤上漲2.7%,表現優於日經指數。

編輯評論:日加零售業巨頭的跨國收購博弈與日本企業治理新趨勢

這宗涉及逾千億港元的跨國收購案,不僅展示了Couche-Tard在全球便利店市場的野心,也反映出日本零售巨頭Seven & i在面對國際買家時的謹慎姿態。雙方能簽署NDA,代表談判進入更實質階段,意味著Couche-Tard有望獲得更多內部信息以完善出價,這對交易的成功至關重要。

值得注意的是,Seven & i的「停火條款」和對反壟斷審查的擔憂,凸顯日本企業在面對外資收購時的防禦機制。這不僅是企業治理的挑戰,也是國家層面維護市場穩定的重要一環。另一方面,Seven & i加速推動管理層改革和業務重組,顯示其在應對收購壓力的同時,也在尋求提升自身競爭力和價值,這種雙管齊下的策略值得關注。

從更宏觀角度看,這筆交易反映了全球便利店市場的整合趨勢,尤其是在數字化消費和零售模式快速變化的背景下。Couche-Tard若成功收購,將鞏固其在北美及亞洲市場的地位,進一步推動便利店行業的國際化和規模效應。

總結而言,這場跨國收購不僅是資本與策略的較量,也揭示了日本企業面對全球化挑戰時的調整與應對。香港及亞洲市場的投資者應持續關注此案,因為其對區域零售業生態及資本市場均有深遠影響。

Two playful cats, one sleek black and one fluffy ginger, are joyfully interacting on a bustling Hong Kong street at sunset. They leap and tumble among vivid neon signs, glowing red lanterns, and traditional market stalls. The scene is bustling with locals and dotted with elements of Hong Kong architecture, such as narrow alleyways, decorative shopfronts, and overhead laundry lines. Warm golden light reflects off the wet cobblestone street, casting dramatic shadows. The atmosphere is lively yet whimsical, capturing the vibrant urban spirit and blending realistic feline anatomy with a touch of enchanting artistry. Rendered in hyper-detailed, cinematic style with rich colors and dynamic composition. Create a sticker set maintaining 100% of the woman's original facial features from the provided image. Do not alter the face, focusing on ultra-realistic details of the facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression. The final face must be realistic, not cartoon-like. She has long, voluminous hair.
1. Makeup:Maintain Original Face: We will preserve the structure of your face, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and expression as closely as possible to the original image to maintain naturalness and uniqueness, while adjusting the tone to be softer:

Eyes: Slightly reduce the sharpness of the Cat Eye eyeliner to a thin line close to the lash line for a softer look, while still maintaining eye definition.
Eyeshadow: Use natural tones like light brown, peach, or beige.
Eyebrows: Original shape, but brushed up to look softer and more natural.
Lips: Glossy, pink-tinted, nude-pink, or coral-toned lipstick/tint to make the lips look full and moisturized. Focus on a bright but not overly intense look.
2. Hairstyle:Natural Voluminous Long Hair: Her hair is long and flowing, but the styling will emphasize natural volume and movement. Soft, natural waves.
3. Outfit:

Attire: A white open-back bodysuit paired with distressed, faded blue denim shorts. There is a message "Kunika" on the shirt.
Shoes: Elegant, simple open-toe flat sandals.
Accessories: Styled freely and fittingly for each scene.
4. Poses & Sticker Elements:Poses: Various poses such as waving, jumping, walking playfully, reading a book, holding up a sign, cheering with both hands, stretching, or making a celebratory gesture, to create a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.Decoration: Include elements like small rainbows, sparkling stars, clear bubbles, hearts, balloons, or light-colored dots to decorate and enhance the fun of each sticker scene.Style: Thin black border around the sticker. Use a modern, rounded 'Itim' style font for the text.Text: Add short emotional phrases written in a cute, beautiful script near the sticker (no speech bubbles/text boxes):

"Hello"
"Love you"
"Submitting work"
"Great"
"Got it"
"Thanks!"
"Wait a sec"
"Ready to care"
"Fight"
"Let's do it"
"So cute"
"OK"
"Sweet dreams:
"Get well soon"
"555"
"You're welcome"
"HBD" 
"OMG" 
"Sorry"
"Got a headache" 
Guidelines: Do not include a text box. Ensure balanced composition with sufficient white space—not cluttered. Match the pose to the text.
Emphasis: Reiterate 'maintain 100% of the original face features from the provided image,' 'ultra-realistic facial detail,' and 'professional studio lighting on face (realistic face, not cartoon face).

Use Cantonese in the stickers.
