Sources have revealed that Canadian company Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. proposed a new potential acquisition price of $18.19 per share for Seven & i Holdings Co. last month. This proposal values the Japanese retailer at 7 trillion yen (approximately $47.2 billion), marking a 20% premium over the previous acquisition offer and the company's current stock price.
The proposal, aimed at initiating discussions, was sent to Seven & i on September 19. However, since then, no substantial negotiations have taken place, according to individuals familiar with the matter who requested anonymity as the information is not public.
