By pooling resources, both entities stand to gain scale advantages and explore new growth avenues. Beyond business interests, the acquisition promises tangible benefits for UK motorists and shoppers, aligning with the government’s ambitious targets for achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
MFG’s plans include the installation of 800 ultra-rapid EV charging points across the acquired sites within the initial five-year period. This investment positions MFG as a player in the ultra-rapid EV charging landscape, with a network catering to customers nationwide. The endeavor also propels MFG to the forefront of convenience store operations in the UK.
The proceeds from the sale will empower Morrisons to reinvest in its core grocery and food-making businesses, strengthening its financial position.

2. La Française des Jeux Société anonyme to acquire Kindred Group plc
French gaming giant, Française des Jeux (FDJ), has made a bid to acquire Kindred, a Sweden-listed online betting group, in a deal valued at EUR 2.6 billion (USD 2.83 billion). The proposed acquisition involves FDJ offering SKr 130 (USD 12.47) per share in cash.
This strategic move is aimed at expanding FDJ’s presence in the online betting sector in France, where it currently dominates the lottery services market. The deal positions FDJ as the second-largest operator in Europe’s gaming sector.
For FDJ, the acquisition of Kindred presents a gateway to accessing the latter’s expansive customer base, which exceeds 30 million across Europe, North America, and Australia.

Beyond broadening its global reach, the merger accelerates FDJ’s digital evolution, anticipating a significant uptick in online business revenue from 14% to 29% post-integration.
On the flip side, for Kindred, the acquisition represents an opportunity to expedite long-term strategic objectives and reinforce its foothold in crucial markets, all while ensuring regulatory compliance and nurturing customer loyalty.
The decision to merge comes after a thorough evaluation by Kindred, prompted by a downturn in revenues and profits in 2022, partly attributed to its withdrawal from the Netherlands market.
FDJ has enlisted Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, Succursale de Paris, and Valens Partners SAS as financial advisors, while Kindred is being advised by PJT Partners (UK) Limited, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, and Canaccord Genuity Limited.
