    FUCHS acquires Statoil Fuel & Retail Lubricants from Couche-Tard

    FUCHS PETROLUB SE, which operates globally in the lubricants sector, is
    acquiring Sweden-based company Statoil Fuel & Retail Lubricants AB (SFR
    Lubricants), Stockholm, from Couche-Tard Luxembourg S.A.R.L., a wholly
    owned indirect subsidiary of Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (TSX: ATD.A
    ATD.B). SFR Lubricants is one of the leading lubricant providers in
    Scandinavia and also operates in Poland, Russia and the Baltic States. As a
    manufacturer of automotive and industrial lubricants and specialties, SFR
    Lubricants is a well-known provider to many industries.

    With this acquisition, the FUCHS PETROLUB Group is strengthening its
    presence in Scandinavia and establishing itself as one of the leading
    lubricant companies in this region. At the same time, FUCHS is expanding
    its market position in Poland and Russia and will now be present in the
    Baltic States. The products from SFR Lubricants complement the portfolio of
    the FUCHS PETROLUB Group.

    The transaction signed today is pending approval by antitrust authorities.

    About SFR Lubricants
    The lubricants business of Statoil Fuel & Retail was spun off from its
    downstream business last year and transitioned into independent companies.
    In the financial year 2014/2015, SFR Lubricants generated sales revenues of
    approximately EUR 140 million, around two thirds of which can be attributed
    to Scandinavia and one third to Eastern Europe. The company employs 470
    people and maintains a production site in Nynäshamn near Stockholm.
