Circle K母公司力爭收購7-Eleven,斥資470億美元!




加拿大Couche-Tard對收購日本Seven & i的信心

東京(路透社)— 加拿大的Alimentation Couche-Tard於週二表示,對於其提出的470億美元收購日本Seven & i的交易,該公司有信心能夠克服美國的監管障礙,並對Seven & i的“有限互動”表示失望。

這家Circle-K的擁有者已經追求Seven & i數月,儘管來自這家日本零售巨頭的回應相當冷淡。

Couche-Tard在聲明中重申,過去幾個月來他們多次強調希望以友好和堅持的態度推進交易,並拒絕了Seven & i對這宗潛在變革性交易面臨重大監管障礙的看法。

該公司表示:“我們在面對重大挫折和分心的情況下仍然這麼做。”

在其最詳細的公開評論中,Couche-Tard指出,他們一直在與Seven & i合作,計劃在交易完成後出售一些美國的商店。

這些評論是日本歷史上最大外資收購案的最新進展,並與Seven & i新任首席執行官Stephen Dacus的言論相矛盾,後者重申合併面臨重大監管障礙。

這兩家公司是美國便利店市場的兩大主要參與者,擁有約20,000個店鋪。

Couche-Tard表示:“我們堅信在美國有一條明確的監管批准路徑。”同時補充說,他們“對於互動非常有限感到失望。”

Seven & i尚未對評論請求作出回應。

Couche-Tard表示,他們已經確定了一個美國商店的投資組合,可能會出售,並已根據Seven & i的要求開始與潛在買家進行談判。

最近幾週,Seven & i和Couche-Tard均已接觸潛在買家,包括戰略買家和私募股權公司,以評估對出售包裹的興趣,一名熟悉Seven & i內部討論的人士表示。

該人士補充,Couche-Tard需要找到一條清晰的出售路徑,具體確定商店、時間框架和可信的買家,然後才會考慮與其競爭對手分享機密信息。

這家加拿大的收購者在去年12月底向日本公司提交了一份提案,概述了他們為獲得美國監管批准而願意做出的承諾,包括願意出售的商店數量和一筆較大的終止費。

但該提案的細節不足,該人士表示,提議的終止費也過低。

Dacus上週表示:“我不認為我們的股東希望我們花費兩年多的時間處於停滯狀態,最終卻被美國法院駁回。”

Couche-Tard表示,他們計劃通過股本和債務的組合來資助這次收購。

該公司補充說,他們已收到來自高盛、加拿大皇家銀行和道明銀行的支持信,以協助其融資,這些融資將保持其強勁的投資級信用評級。

在這場涉及巨額資金的收購案中,Couche-Tard的自信與Seven & i的保守態度形成鮮明對比。Couche-Tard不僅面臨來自監管機構的挑戰,還需要解決兩家公司之間的合作障礙。這不僅是對雙方商業模式的考驗,更是對其在全球市場中的地位和影響力的深刻反思。隨著市場競爭的加劇,這筆交易的成敗將可能改變便利店行業的格局,值得我們持續關注。

} Create a photorealistic movie-poster image for Zootopia 2. The scene shows a young Asian man and an oversized black shirt standing inside a crowded, dimly lit cinema. He’s flanked by Judy Hopps in full police uniform and Nick Wilde, both rendered in their official Disney CGI style. Capture the shot from a low angle so the characters feel larger than life. The cinema screen behind them is glowing with an intense action scene from the film. Let the light from the screen spill across their faces and clothing to create dramatic high contrast. The environment should feel alive with background silhouettes, soft haze, and the warm ambience of a packed theatre. Style the composition like an official Disney promotional poster: epic layout, sharp detail, high resolution, balanced framing, and clean edges. The man and the cinema should be fully photorealistic, while Judy and Nick retain their signature animated look.

• The Disney logo
• The title ZOOTOPIA 2 in bold green and white
• The release line ONLY IN THEATERS NOVEMBER 26 Poster tone: cinematic, polished, high-end theatrical marketing.
