TOKYO, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Seven & i Holdings' ( SVNDF )
plan to hive off underperforming businesses will provide the
discipline to pursue growth, Chief Executive Officer Ryuichi
Isaka told investors on Thursday.
The Japanese retailer, which is holding an "investor day"
briefing with analysts and investors, is fighting to stay
independent after Canada's Alimentation Couche-Tard ( ANCTF )
offered a $47 billion takeover bid.
