Seven & i’s new status doesn’t necessarily raise any additional hurdles to a potential Couche-Tard takeover
Japan ese retail giant Seven & i Holdings has been classified as “core” to national security, according to an updated finance ministry list released on Friday.
But in cases where a full buyout is sought, a review is mandatory for companies like Seven & i which are considered significant to Japan’s economy or security regardless of whether they are categorized as core or non-core. While convenience stores, Seven & i’s mainstay business, would not count as a sector that would require a national security review, the group has wide-ranging businesses including financial services as well as security services for commercial facilities.
