Exclusive: Dallas-Fort Worth area nabs another Fortune 500 company with headquarters relocation to Westlake By Bill Hethcock – Staff Writer, Dallas Business Journal Sep 6, 2018, 2:57pm Core-Mark, a Fortune 500 company based in San Francisco, plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Westlake in 2019. Scott McPherson, president and CEO of CoreMark Holding Co. Inc. (Nasdaq: CORE), announced the move in an Aug. 7 earnings call, according to a transcriptfrom Seeking Alpha. “Recently, we have finalized plans to relocate Core-Mark’s corporate headquarters to the Dallas-Fort Worth area,” McPherson said. “The move will take place during the first half of 2019. The cost of operating out of the San Francisco Bay Area (is) high, and while San Francisco is our longtime home, the business has expanded dramatically over the years.” Dallas offers more favorable operating costs, lower taxes and a central location for Core-Mark’s nationwide business, McPherson said. “Being closer to our customers and more central to our divisions will create cost and logistical efficiency for us,” he said. Later, in response to an analyst’s question, McPherson said Core-Mark’s employees have been informed of the move. He said Core-Mark, the second-largest distributor to the convenience store industry, is a relatively decentralized company, with the corporate office consisting of about 100 of the company’s 9,000 employees. Several factors beyond cost savings went into the decision to move to North Texas, the CEO added. “It’s getting us in a much better position as a nationwide company to service our customers to be in a market that is, I’d say, employee friendly with a really high quality of life,” McPherson said. Though McPherson made the announcement almost a month ago, it’s largely flown under the radar. Calls and emails to Core-Mark and Westlake city officials were not immediately returned. Core-Mark will be the 23rd Fortune 500 company based in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. DFW...

LAVAL, Quebec, and SAN ANTONIO — Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. has announced a definitive merger agreement with CST Brands Inc. under which Couche-Tard would acquire CST in an all-cash transaction for $48.53 per share, with a total enterprise value of approximately $4.4 billion (U.S.) including net debt assumed. The terms and conditions of the agreement were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies. The transaction price represents a premium of 42% to CST’s closing share price on March 3, 2016, the last trading day prior to CST announcing that it would explore and review its strategic alternatives to further enhance its stockholder value. This all-cash transaction is expected to be financed by Couche-Tard’s available cash, existing credit facilities and a new term loan. The CST transaction is expected to close in early calendar year 2017 and is subject to the approval of CST’s stockholders and regulatory approvals in the United States and Canada. Couche-Tard has also entered into an agreement with Parkland Fuel Corp. pursuant to which it would sell certain Canadian assets of CST after the merger for approximately $750 million (U.S). The assets in Canada that would be sold include CST’s Cardlock business, CST’s Dealer and Commission Agents business, CST’s commercial and home energy business, a number of company-operated stores to be determined following the Competition Bureau of Canada’s review of the transaction and CST’s Montréal corporate head office. This transaction is subject to customary regulatory approval and closing conditions. Couche-Tard intends to use the proceeds from this sale to repay part of its credit facilities. CST is based in San Antonio and has more...
