The agreement gives the Quebec-based convenience store chain access to the 7-Eleven owner’s financial data, and allows for a standstill provision, which prevents Alimentacion Couche-Tard from making a hostile bid during negotiations.

Talking point: Couche-Tard made a US$38.5-billion “friendly proposal” for the 7-Eleven parent company in August 2024, which Seven & i promptly rebuffed. The Tokyo-based firm has been reluctant to sell to Couche-Tard, despite the latter’s sweetened offer. Japan’s government classified Seven & i as core to national security following Couche-Tard’s bid. Nevertheless, Couche-Tard remains the front-runner to acquire 7-Eleven after a rival bid from Seven & i’s founding family failed to get financing.
