PRESS RELEASE

Couche-Tard Launches its New
Share Repurchase Program

ATD.A, ATD.B / TSX

Laval, Québec, October 21, 2010 –Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. announced that The Toronto Stock Exchange has approved its share repurchase program (the “program”), authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 2,685,335 Class A multiple voting shares (representing 5 % of the 53,706,712 Class A multiple voting shares issued and outstanding) and 11,621,801 Class B subordinate voting shares (representing 10 % of the 116,218,014 Class B subordinate voting shares of the public float) as at October 20, 2010. The net average daily trading volume for the 6 month period preceding October 20, 2010 represents 1,073 Class A multiple voting shares and 334,488 Class B subordinate voting share. In accordance with the Toronto Stock Exchange requirements, a maximum daily repurchase of the greater of 25% of these averages or 1,000 shares may be made, which represent a total of 1,000 Class A multiple voting shares and a total of 83,622 Class B subordinate voting shares. By making such repurchases, the number of Class A multiple voting shares and of Class B subordinate voting shares in circulation will be reduced and the proportionate interest of all remaining shareholders in the share capital of the Company will be increased on a pro rata basis.

The Company may repurchase Class A multiple voting shares and Class B subordinate voting shares on the open market through the facilities of The Toronto Stock Exchange, from time to time, over the course of twelve months commencing October 25, 2010 and ending at the latest on October 24, 2011. All shares repurchased under the share repurchase program will be cancelled upon their repurchase. In connection with the program, the Company has established an automatic securities purchase plan to provide standard instructions regarding how the Company’s shares are to be repurchased under the program. Accordingly, the Company may repurchase its shares under the automatic plan on any trading day during the program including during self-imposed trading blackout periods. The automatic plan will commence and should terminate together with the program. It constitutes an “automatic plan” for purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and has been reviewed by The Toronto Stock Exchange.

The Company has not repurchased shares under its previous share repurchase program which was announced on August 4, 2009.

Form 12 – Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid	© 2008, TSX Group Inc.
(as at June 16, 2008)

Form: 12 | Issuer Name: Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc.               Stock Symbol: ATD-A / ATD-B

The authorized share capital of the Issuer consists of an unlimited number of first preferred shares, issuable in series, an unlimited number of second preferred shares, issuable in series, an unlimited number of Multiple Voting Shares and an unlimited number of Subordinate Voting Shares.

The Multiple Voting Shares entitle the holders thereof to 10 votes per share (except as set out below) and the Subordinate Voting Shares entitle the holders thereof to one vote per share at meetings of shareholders of the Issuer.

The Multiple Voting Shares entitle holders thereof to one vote per share with respect to the following matters: (i) the amalgamation of the Issuer with any other corporation other than one or more of the Issuer’s subsidiaries; (ii) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition (other than in the ordinary course of business) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer to any corporation other than to one or more of the Issuer’s subsidiaries; or (iii) the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer.

ii) if the issuer does not propose to make the same NCIB for all classes of voting and equity securities, the reasons for so limiting the NCIB:

The issuer intends to repurchase more Class B Subordinate Voting Shares because the much greater market float for the shares of this class as compared to the Class A Multiple Voting Shares offers more liquidity and opportunities for making purchases.

h) Whether the securities are going to be cancelled. If such securities are not cancelled, state how such securities will be dealt with: Securities will be cancelled following their respective repurchase.

2. Duration –State the dates on which the NCIB will commence and terminate. The NCIB may not extend for a period of more than one year from the date on which purchases may commence. (i.e. May 1, 2004 to April 30, 2005):

Between October 25, 2010 and ending on the earlier of:

i)	October 24, 2011; or
ii)	that date on which the company will purchase of the maximum number of Class A multiple voting shares and the Class B subordinate voting shares specified hereafter.

3.	Method of Acquisition –State the following:
	a)	whether purchases will be effected through the facilities of TSX and identify any other exchanges or market places on which purchases will be made:
		Purchases pursuant to the NCIB will be effected through the facilities of the TSX and, subject as herein provided, at such times and in such numbers to be determined by the Issuer’s management, in accordance with the policies and rules of the TSX.

(as at June 16, 2008)

Form: 12 | Issuer Name: Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc.               Stock Symbol: ATD-A / ATD-B

	b)	whether purchase and payment for the securities will be made by the issuer in accordance with the requirements of TSX:
		The purchase and payment for the Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares will be made by the Issuer in accordance with the requirements of TSX.
	c)	whether the price that the issuer will pay for any securities acquired by it will be the market price of the securities at the time of acquisition:
		The price the Issuer will pay for any such Multiple Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Shares will be the market price of such Multiple Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Shares, as the case may be, at the time of acquisition.
		However, pursuant to the articles of the Issuer, the price paid for the Multiple Voting Shares may not exceed 115% of the last independent trade of a board lot of Subordinate Voting Shares. If that were to be the case, the Issuer would suspend its NCIB with respect to the Multiple Voting Shares until the price that would be paid for the Multiple Voting Shares is less than 115% of the price of the last independent trade of a board lot of Subordinate Voting Shares.
	d)	whether purchases (other than by way of exempt offer) will be made other than by means of open market transactions during the period the NCIB is outstanding:
		The Issuer does not presently intend to purchase Multiple Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Shares other than by means of open market transactions during the period that the NCIB is open.
4.	Consideration Offered –State whether there are any restrictions on the price the offeror is prepared to pay and any other restrictions relating to the NCIB, such as specific funds available, method of purchasing, etc.:
	There are no restrictions on the price to be paid for the Multiple Voting Shares or Subordinate Voting Shares to be purchased pursuant to the NCIB. The funds to purchase the Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the NCIB will be provided from the general funds of the Issuer. However, pursuant to the articles of the Issuer, the price paid for the Multiple Voting Shares may not exceed 115% of the last independent trade of a board lot of Subordinate Voting Shares. If that were to be the case, the Issuer would suspend its NCIB with respect to the Multiple Voting Shares until the price that would be paid for the Multiple Voting Shares is less than 115% of the price of the last independent trade of a board lot of Subordinate Voting Shares. Save as herein mentioned, there are no restrictions on the NCIB.
5.	Reasons for the NCIB –State the purpose or business reasons for the NCIB:
	The directors of the Issuer have concluded that purchases of up to 2,685,335 of the issued and outstanding Multiple Voting Shares and 11,620,475 of the issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares of the Issuer under the NCIB are an appropriate and desirable investment for the Issuer and, therefore, would be in the best interests of the Issuer. As a result of such purchases under the NCIB, the number of issued Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares will be decreased and, consequently, the proportionate share interest of all remaining shareholders with respect to each class will be increased on apro rata basis.
