Seven & i Holdings Co. has put forward a buyout plan worth around ¥9 trillion ($58 billion), making it one of the largest buyout deals ever.
If successful, this transaction would surpass the previous record set by KKR & Co. and TPG Capital's acquisition of Energy Future Holdings Corp. It would also exceed Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, which is not considered a leveraged buyout because it does not involve management or private equity.
The size of Seven & i's proposal indicates a significant change in the landscape of corporate buyouts, marking a noteworthy moment in financial markets.
