This operation comes as Cumberland Farms prepares to go public in New York, after having unveiled its IPO filing in the United States in July. The company has not yet kicked off its roadshow for the IPO. According to the regulatory filing, the convertible preferred shares can be converted into common shares at a price equal to 115% of the IPO price. Owned by EG Group and backed by buyout firm TDR Capital, Cumberland Farms operates more than 3,200 convenience stores and gas stations in the United States and Europe.
