Should this transaction close as planned in September 2006, these acquisitions would add sales of approximately US$325m to Couche-Tard’s revenues and contribute to its earnings on an annualised basis.
The transaction is subject to standard regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
According to a confidentiality agreement between the parties, the purchase prices cannot be disclosed at this time. Internal cash flow dollars will pay for the transaction, the company said.
The 54 convenience stores currently operate under the Holland Oil and Close to Home banners.
