<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On September 8, 2023, Kroger issued a press release
announcing that it has reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs to settle the majority of opioid claims that have been or could
be brought against Kroger by states in which they operate, subdivisions, and Native American tribes. Along with the execution of certain
non-monetary conditions that remain in discussion, Kroger has agreed to pay up to $1.2 billion to states and subdivisions and $36 million
to Native American tribes in funding for abatement efforts (both to be paid over 11 years in equal installments), and approximately $177
million to cover attorneys&#8217; fees and costs (to be paid over 6 years in equal installments). The timing of the settlement payments
over multiple years, most of which are tax deductible, results in an after-tax net present value to Kroger of approximately $870 million. Initial payments would begin in December 2023.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">States, subdivisions, and the Native American
tribes will have an opportunity to opt-in to participate in the settlement, and Kroger will have full discretion to determine whether
there is sufficient participation for the settlement to become effective. If all conditions are satisfied, the settlement would allow
for the full resolution of all claims on behalf of participating states, subdivisions and tribes and is not an admission of any wrongdoing
or liability.</p>

September 8, 2023, Kroger and Albertsons Companies, Inc., (&#8220;Albertsons&#8221;) issued a joint press release announcing that
they have entered into an agreement with C&amp;S Wholesale Grocers, LLC (&#8220;C&amp;S&#8221;) to divest 413 stores, as well as the QFC,
Mariano&#8217;s and Carrs brand names, 8 distribution centers, 2 offices and other certain assets in connection with the proposed
Kroger-Albertsons merger previously announced on October 14, 2022. In addition, Kroger will divest the Debi Lilly Design, Primo
Taglio, Open Nature, ReadyMeals and Waterfront Bistro private label brands. The definitive purchase agreement has customary
representations and warranties and covenants of a transaction of its type. The transaction is subject to</span> fulfillment of
customary closing conditions, including clearance by the Federal Trade Commission (&#8220;FTC&#8221;), and the completion of the
proposed merger. C&amp;S will pay Kroger all-cash consideration of approximately $1.9 billion, including customary adjustments. Prior
to the closing, Kroger may, in connection with securing FTC and other governmental clearance, require C&amp;S to purchase up to an
additional 237 stores in certain geographies. If additional stores are added to the transaction, C&amp;S will pay to Kroger
additional cash consideration based upon an agreed upon formula.</p>

also investing in price to maintain a competitive price position and deliver greater value for our customers. The improvement in the
FIFO gross margin rate, excluding fuel, was primarily attributable to <I>Our Brands</I> performance, lower supply chain costs, sourcing

per diluted share are useful metrics to investors and analysts because they present more accurately year-over-year comparisons for net
earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted share because adjusted items are not the result of normal operations.&nbsp;&nbsp;Items
identified in this table should not be considered alternatives to net earnings (loss) attributable to The Kroger Co. or any other GAAP
measure of performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;These items should not be reviewed in isolation or considered substitutes for the Company's financial
results as reported in accordance with GAAP.&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the nature of these items, as further described below, it is important
to identify these items and to review them in conjunction with the Company's financial results reported in accordance with GAAP.</FONT></P>

September 8, 2023 &ndash; The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) has reached an agreement in principle with plaintiffs to settle the majority of opioid
claims that have been or could be brought against the Company by states, subdivisions, and Native American tribes. </FONT></P>

with the execution of certain non-monetary conditions that remain in discussion, Kroger has agreed to pay up to $1.2 billion to states
and subdivisions and $36 million to Native American tribes in funding for abatement efforts (both to be paid over 11 years in equal installments),
and approximately $177 million to cover attorneys&rsquo; fees and costs (to be paid over 6 years in equal installments). The timing of
the settlement payments over multiple years, most of which are tax deductible, results in an after-tax net present value to Kroger of
approximately $870 million. Initial payments would begin in December 2023. Kroger expects to recognize a $1.4 billion charge during the
second quarter of 2023, which will negatively impact earnings per diluted share of $1.54 on a GAAP basis. This does not affect adjusted
earnings per diluted share results for 2023, which are provided on a basis that excludes adjustment items. </FONT></P>

full discretion to determine whether there is sufficient participation for the settlement to become effective. If all conditions are satisfied,
the settlement would allow for the full resolution of all claims on behalf of participating states, subdivisions and tribes. </FONT></P>

2023) &ndash; The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) and Albertsons Companies Inc. (NYSE: ACI) announced today that they have entered a definitive
agreement with C&amp;S Wholesale Grocers, LLC for the sale of select stores, banners, distribution centers, offices and private label
brands in connection with their <FONT STYLE="text-decoration: underline">proposed merger</FONT> previously announced on October&nbsp;14, 2022.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The proposed merger will create meaningful and measurable benefits
for America&rsquo;s consumers, Kroger and Albertsons associates, and communities that both Kroger and Albertsons serve by expanding access
to fresh, affordable food and establishing a more compelling alternative to large, non-union retailers. This comprehensive divestiture
plan marks a key next step toward the completion of the merger by extending a well-capitalized competitor into new geographies. The divestiture
plan ensures no stores will close as a result of the merger and that all frontline associates will remain employed, all existing collective
bargaining agreements will continue, and associates will continue to receive industry-leading health care and pension benefits alongside
bargained-for wages.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">C&amp;S is an industry leader in wholesale grocery supply and supply
chain solutions, with a strong track record as a successful grocery retailer. Founded in 1918 as a supplier to independent grocery stores,
C&amp;S services customers of all sizes, supplying more than 7,500 independent supermarkets, retail chain stores and military bases. Grounded
in its commitment to feeding families across America, C&amp;S currently operates Grand Union grocery stores and Piggly Wiggly<SUP>&reg;</SUP>
franchise and corporate-owned stores in the Midwest and Carolinas. C&amp;S is deeply invested in the communities where it operates, and
this retail expansion will continue its long-standing mission to keep communities fed. Through its wholesale and retail operations, C&amp;S
purchases more than 100,000 products, giving it the ability to provide customers with the best product selection and pricing available.
In addition to its franchise and corporate owned supermarkets, C&amp;S provides end-to-end wholesale, supply and marketing services to
its retailer customers. <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">C&amp;S also brings experience with the merger process, having been an FTC-approved
divestiture buyer in prior grocery transactions with a strong track record of successfully transitioning union employees and their associated
collective bargaining agreements. In</FONT> anticipation of the agreement, C&amp;S&rsquo;s 1918 Winter Street Partners retail holding
company has been established to ensure a seamless closing process. C&amp;S&rsquo;s depth of industry knowledge, financial strength and
commitment to growing its associates&rsquo; careers makes it the right fit to ensure the divested stores, distribution centers and offices
grow and thrive for years to come.</P>
