7-Eleven’s parent company rejects takeover proposal, says offer ‘grossly undervalues’ company

Seven & i Holdings, the parent company of 7-Eleven, has recently rejected a takeover offer from Canadian convenience store operator Alimentation Couche-Tard. The offer, priced at $14.86 per share, was deemed by Seven & i as not being in the best interest of its shareholders and stakeholders. The company’s chairman, Stephen Dacus, expressed that the proposal undervalues their standalone path and the potential for unlocking shareholder value in the near to medium-term.

In response to the rejection, Couche-Tard’s proposal did not address the challenges it would face from U.S. anticompetition agencies. Dacus highlighted the lack of details regarding divestitures and regulatory hurdles in the offer. He emphasized that Seven & i is open to considering proposals that benefit stakeholders but will resist any offer that fails to address regulatory concerns or deprives shareholders of the company’s intrinsic value.

Ben Herrick, an associate portfolio manager at Artisan Partners, a U.S. fund holding a stake in Seven & i, criticized the management team and board for not maximizing the corporate value of the organization. Artisan Partners had previously urged Seven & i Holdings to consider the buyout offer and explore options for their Japanese subsidiaries. Herrick pointed out the potential for growth in international licensees operating outside the United States, highlighting the opportunity for significant profit in these markets.

Herrick also expressed concerns about the company’s slow adoption of changes and the need for faster implementation of reform plans. He urged Seven & i to accelerate its strategies and capitalize on the opportunities presented by its global presence. The company’s president, Ryuichi Isaka, had introduced a reform plan for the general merchandise store Ito-Yokado in 2016, but Herrick emphasized the need for a more timely and efficient execution of these initiatives. In a recent interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia,” Richard Kaye, portfolio manager at Comgest, shared his perspective on the need for change within the culture of a certain company. He expressed his belief that speed has not been a significant factor in the company’s culture and suggested that this should be addressed.

Kaye emphasized the importance of making changes to improve the company’s performance and competitiveness. He highlighted the company’s strong performance in logistics and product innovation but suggested that there is room for improvement in terms of speed and efficiency.

While Kaye acknowledged the company’s success in certain areas, he also pointed out that there is always room for growth and development. He emphasized the need for a more proactive approach to addressing challenges and implementing changes to drive progress.

Kaye’s comments underscore the importance of continuous improvement and adaptation in today’s fast-paced business environment. By embracing change and prioritizing speed and efficiency, companies can stay ahead of the curve and remain competitive in their industry.

Overall, Kaye’s insights serve as a reminder of the importance of staying agile and responsive to market dynamics. By incorporating a culture of innovation and constant improvement, companies can position themselves for long-term success and growth.
