Couche-Tard Withdraws Bid: Canadian retailer Alimentation Couche-Tard has pulled its $47 billion bid to acquire Seven & i Holdings, citing a lack of constructive engagement from the Japanese company, which would have marked a significant foreign takeover in Japan.
Impact on Seven & i: Following Couche-Tard's withdrawal, Seven & i's shares fell by 9%, and the company faces pressure to improve its earnings and demonstrate independent growth amidst ongoing discussions about potential asset sales and restructuring plans.
