A Bloomberg article yesterday suggested Seven &amp; I Holdings (3382 JP) was considering selling down its stake in Seven Bank Ltd (8410 JP) to 38%, potentially raising ¥30bn by end-February.
There is a clear and obvious reason for this which has nothing to do, directly, with the Couche-Tard approach. And nothing to do with raising ¥30bn. 
But it is an important step on the path to "value realisation", and focussing on CVS, albeit for technical reasons.
