Talking point: The Caisse retains a 3.5 per cent interest in the chain after the sale. It marks the second such transaction in as many years, after the Caisse sold a $700-million stake in company shares to Couche-Tard in July 2023. “The proceeds of this monetization will be reinvested in other companies in Québec,” said Caisse executive vice-president Kim Thomassin.
