About Village Farms International, Inc. Village Farms leverages decades of experience in Controlled Environment Agriculture as a large-scale, vertically-integrated supplier of high-value, high-growth plant-based Consumer Packaged Goods. The Company built a strong foundation as the leading and longest-tenured fresh produce supplier to grocery and large-format retailers throughout the US and Canada, but now focuses its agricultural expertise on high-growth cannabinoid opportunities internationally. In Canada, the Company's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Pure Sunfarms, is one of the single largest cannabis operations in the world (2.2 million square feet of greenhouse production), the lowest-cost producer and one of Canada's best-selling brands. The Company owns an incremental 2.6 million square feet of greenhouse capacity in Canada for future expansion, and also owns 80% of Québec-based, Rose LifeScience, a leader in the commercialization of cannabis products. Internationally, Village Farms is targeting selected, nascent, legal cannabis opportunities with significant growth potential. The Company exports medical cannabis from its EU GMP certified facility in Canada to international markets including Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, and New Zealand. The Company is expanding its export business to new countries and customers, and making select investments in international production assets. In Europe, wholly-owned Leli Holland has one of 10 licenses to grow and distribute recreational cannabis within the Dutch Coffee Shop Experiment. In the US, wholly-owned Balanced Health Botanicals is one of the leading CBD and hemp-derived brands and e-commerce platforms in the country. Subject to compliance with all applicable US federal and state laws and stock exchange rules, Village Farms plans to enter the US THC market via multiple strategies, leveraging its Texas-based greenhouse assets (2.2 million square feet of existing greenhouse capacity and 950 acres of owned, unoccupied land for future expansion). Village Farms Clean Energy (VFCE), through a partnership with Atlanta-based Terreva Renewables, creates renewable natural gas from landfill gas at its Delta RNG facility. VFCE receives royalties on all revenue generated. This partnership reduces Vancouver's greenhouse gas emissions by 475,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to removing more than 100,000 vehicles off the road or the energy use equivalent of powering 51,300 homes for one year. The Company also holds a 37.9 percent equity ownership interest in Vanguard Food LP, a privately held joint venture with private investment firms which seeks to create a premier branded CPG foods company through M&A. Vanguard Food LP expects to continue acquiring other produce assets and operations with the support of its private investment firm partners, and will review various products and companies across many production methods while expanding its platform.

Couche-Tard withdraws $46B bid for 7-Eleven owner after frustrated negotiations
Alimentation Couche-Tard (TSX:ATD) withdrew its $46 billion bid to acquire Seven & i Holdings (PINL:SVNDF), the Japanese parent company of 7-Eleven, citing a lack of constructive engagement and transparency throughout the negotiation process Couche-Tard expressed deep frustration over what it described as a 'calculated campaign of obfuscation and delay' by the retailer Seven & i responded Thursday, stating it was 'disappointed but not surprised' by Couche-Tard's decision Alimentation Couche-Tard stock (TSX:ATD) opened trading at C$79.26 Canadian convenience store giant Alimentation Couche-Tard (TSX:ATD) has officially withdrawn its ambitious $46 billion bid to acquire Seven & i Holdings (PINL:SVNDF), the Japanese parent company of 7-Eleven, citing a lack of constructive engagement and transparency throughout the negotiation process. This content has been prepared as part of a partnership with Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. and is intended for informational purposes only. In a sharply worded letter addressed to Seven & i's Board of Directors, Couche-Tard expressed deep frustration over what it described as a 'calculated campaign of obfuscation and delay' by the Japanese retailer. The Laval, Québec-based operator of Circle K stores had proposed a ¥2,600 per share all-cash offer, representing a 47.6 per cent premium over Seven & i's unaffected stock price. Despite signing a non-disclosure agreement in April 2025 and holding meetings in Tokyo and Dallas, Couche-Tard said it received minimal due diligence information and faced resistance from key executives. The company claimed that critical questions were left unanswered and that management meetings were tightly controlled, with one executive allegedly being rebuked for attempting to provide substantive responses. Couche-Tard also noted that it had made significant concessions to address regulatory concerns, including a proposed $1.4 billion reverse termination fee and a willingness to divest U.S. stores. It even floated an alternative structure to acquire 100 per cent of Seven & i's international business and 40 per cent of its domestic operations, leaving the remaining 60 per cent with existing shareholders. Seven & i responded Thursday, stating it was 'disappointed but not surprised' by Couche-Tard's decision. The company rejected what it called 'numerous mischaracterizations' and insisted it had engaged in good faith throughout the process. Shares of Seven & i dropped more than 9 per cent following the announcement, closing at ¥2,007.5—well below Couche-Tard's offer price. The collapse of the deal marks the end of what could have been the largest foreign acquisition of a Japanese company and a transformative moment in global retail. Alimentation Couche-Tard stock (TSX:ATD) opened trading 9.72 per cent higher at C$79.26 per share but has lost 5.93 per cent since the year began. Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. operates in 31 countries and territories, with more than 16,700 stores, of which approximately 13,100 offer road transportation fuel. With its well-known Couche-Tard and Circle K banners, it is one of the largest independent convenience store operators in the United States.
