<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">On April&#160;22, 2024, The Kroger Co.
(&#8220;Kroger&#8221;) and Albertsons Companies Inc. (&#8220;Albertsons&#8221;) issued a joint press release announcing that they
have entered into an amended and restated agreement with C&amp;S Wholesale Grocers, LLC (&#8220;C&amp;S&#8221;) to divest 579
stores, as well as the QFC, Mariano&#8217;s, Carrs and Haggen banner names and other certain assets in connection with the proposed
Kroger-Albertsons merger previously announced on October&#160;14, 2022. In addition, C&amp;S will license the Albertsons banner in
California and Wyoming and the Safeway banner in Arizona and Colorado. Kroger will divest the Debi Lilly Design, Primo Taglio, Open
Nature, ReadyMeals and Waterfront Bistro private label brands to C&amp;S. The amended agreement also provides C&amp;S with access to
the Signature and O Organics private label brands. In connection with the additional stores being conveyed to C&amp;S, the updated
divestiture package includes increased distribution capacity through a combination of different and larger facilities as well as
expanded transition services agreements to support C&amp;S and the addition of one dairy facility. The amended divestiture package
also expands the corporate and office infrastructure provided to C&amp;S given the increased store set to ensure C&amp;S can
continue to operate the divested stores competitively and cohesively. All fuel centers and pharmacies associated with the divested
stores will remain with the stores and continue to operate. The definitive purchase agreement has customary representations and
warranties and covenants of a transaction of its type. The transaction is subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions,
including regulatory approval, and the completion of the proposed merger. C&amp;S will pay Kroger all-cash consideration of
approximately $2.9 billion, including customary adjustments.</p>

2024) &ndash; The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) and Albertsons Companies Inc. (NYSE: ACI) announced today that they have amended their definitive
agreement with C&amp;S Wholesale Grocers, LLC (C&amp;S) for the sale of assets in connection with their <FONT STYLE="text-decoration: underline">proposed
merger</FONT> previously announced on October&nbsp;14, 2022. This amended package modifies and builds on the <FONT STYLE="text-decoration: underline">initial
divestiture package</FONT> that was announced on September&nbsp;8, 2023.</P>

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

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The amended divestiture package responds to concerns raised by federal
and state antitrust regulators regarding the original agreement. The enhanced divestiture package includes a modified and expanded store
set and additional non-store assets to further enable C&amp;S to operate competitively following the completion of the proposed merger.
The companies believe the amended divestiture package will bolster their position in regulatory challenges to the proposed merger, including
pending court proceedings.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;We have reached an agreement with
C&amp;S for an updated divestiture package that maintains Kroger&rsquo;s commitments to customers, associates and communities,
addresses concerns raised by regulators, and will further ensure that C&amp;S can successfully operate the divested stores as they
are operated today,&rdquo; said Rodney McMullen, Kroger&rsquo;s Chairman and CEO. &ldquo;Importantly, the updated divestiture plan
continues to ensure 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. Our proposed merger with Albertsons will bring lower prices and more choices to more
customers and secure the long-term future of unionized grocery jobs.&rdquo;</P>

plan marks another next step toward the completion of the merger by adding a well-capitalized competitor into new geographies.</P>

is a leader in the grocery industry, and we are excited for this expansion of our current retail business, which is a key part of our
long-term growth strategy. We look forward to welcoming storied banners, quality private label brands, and a team of experienced retail

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">Subject to fulfillment of customary closing
conditions, including Federal Trade Commission and/or other governmental clearance, and the completion of the Kroger-Albertsons merger,
C&amp;S will pay Kroger an all-cash consideration of approximately $2.9 billion, including customary adjustments.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The proposed merger with Albertsons Cos. will produce meaningful and
measurable benefits for customers, associates and communities across the country. The combined company committed that no stores, distribution
centers or manufacturing facilities will close as a result of the merger.</P>

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

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Customers will benefit from lower prices and more choices following
the merger close. Kroger committed to investing $500 million to begin lowering prices day one post-close, and an additional $1.3 billion
to improve Albertsons Cos.&rsquo; stores.</P>

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

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">This commitment builds on Kroger&rsquo;s long track record of reducing
prices every year, with $5 billion invested to lower prices since 2003. Customers will also have access to more favorite items from their
own communities, as Kroger committed to increasing the number of local products in its stores by 10 percent post-close. This merger creates
more opportunities for families to access the fresh, affordable foods they love.</P>

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

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As a combined company, Kroger committed to investing $1 billion to
raise wages and comprehensive benefits. This builds on the incremental $2.4 billion Kroger invested to improve wages and comprehensive
benefits since 2018. To provide the best holistic support for each associate, the company will also extend continuing education and financial
literacy benefits to all associates following the merger close. As union membership continues to decline nationwide, especially in the
grocery industry, this merger is the best way to secure union jobs. Kroger has added more than 100,000 good-paying union jobs since 2012.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The proposed merger will allow the combined company to invest more
deeply to end hunger in communities across America. In 2023, Kroger committed to donating 10 billion meals to families across the U.S.
by 2030. Bringing these companies together provides one more step toward achieving communities that are free from hunger and food waste.</P>
