Now that the HSR waiting period has expired, the acquisition is expected to be finalized soon.
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. announced that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Act”) applicable to the offer made by its indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary to acquire The Pantry has expired.
The expiration of the HSR Act waiting period fulfills the condition to the completion of the acquisition.
The closing is expected to occur today, on March 16, 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter.
