Summary · why it matters

Seven & i Holdings has stopped discussions on a potential investment in Zabka Group, Poland's largest convenience store operator. The Japanese retail group said it was unable to reach agreement with the seller on terms it considered to be in the best interests of its shareholders and other stakeholders. The proposal under consideration involved taking a stake running into several tens of a percent, in a transaction that could have reached several hundred billion yen. Seven & i indicated that Europe remains an attractive growth opportunity and it will continue to evaluate opportunities in the region. In a separate development, Seven & i named Mauricio Leyva as CEO of its North American convenience store arm, 7-Eleven (SEI), effective 1 August 2026.
