Reuters

Reuters was first to report that hedge fund ValueAct Capital urged Seven & i Holdings shareholders to back a spin-off of the company’s 7-Eleven convenience store chain, arguing the move would improve the conglomerate’s valuation and corporate governance. The U.S.-based investment firm, which owns a 4.4% stake in the Japanese company and has been urging it to make changes for at least a year, called on shareholders, in a letter reviewed by Reuters, to express their opinions on the matter to Seven & i’s board.
