and <BR>
Consent Solicitations for Albertsons Companies Notes</B></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">CINCINNATI - <B>August&nbsp;15, 2024</B> &ndash; The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR)
(&ldquo;Kroger&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) announced today that it has commenced private exchange offers to certain eligible
holders (&ldquo;Eligible Holders&rdquo;) (each an &ldquo;Exchange Offer&rdquo; and, collectively, the &ldquo;Exchange Offers&rdquo;) for
any and all outstanding notes (the &ldquo;ACI Notes&rdquo;) issued by Albertsons Companies,&nbsp;Inc. (NYSE:ACI) (&ldquo;ACI&rdquo;),
New Albertsons, L.P. (&ldquo;NALP&rdquo;), Safeway Inc. (&ldquo;Safeway&rdquo;), Albertson&rsquo;s LLC (&ldquo;Albertsons&rdquo;), Albertsons
Safeway LLC (&ldquo;ASL&rdquo;) and American Stores Company, LLC (&ldquo;ASC,&rdquo; and together with ACI, NALP, Safeway, Albertsons
and ASL, the &ldquo;Albertsons Issuing Entities&rdquo;), as applicable, for up to $7,441,608,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes
to be issued by the Company (the &ldquo;Kroger Notes&rdquo;) and cash.</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">As previously announced, on October&nbsp;13, 2022, the Company entered
into an agreement and plan of merger (the &ldquo;Merger Agreement&rdquo;), by and among the Company, ACI and Kettle Merger Sub,&nbsp;Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (&ldquo;Merger Sub&rdquo;), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into ACI, with
ACI surviving the merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the &ldquo;Merger&rdquo;). <B>The Exchange Offers and Consent
Solicitations (as defined herein) are being conducted in connection with and are conditioned upon, among other things, the completion
of the Merger.</B></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">In conjunction with the Exchange Offers, the Company is concurrently
soliciting consents (each a &ldquo;Consent Solicitation&rdquo; and, collectively, the &ldquo;Consent Solicitations&rdquo;) to adopt certain
proposed amendments to each of the indentures (each an &ldquo;ACI Indenture&rdquo; and, collectively, the &ldquo;ACI Indentures&rdquo;)
governing the ACI Notes to, among other things, eliminate from each of the ACI Indentures (i)&nbsp;substantially all of the restrictive
covenants, (ii)&nbsp;certain of the events which may lead to an &ldquo;Event of Default,&rdquo; (iii)&nbsp;the reporting covenant, (iv)&nbsp;any
restrictions on the applicable ACI entities from consolidating with or merging into any other person or conveying, transferring or leasing
all or any of their properties and assets to any person, (v)&nbsp;the covenant requiring certain subsidiaries of ACI to guarantee certain
of the ACI Notes and (vi)&nbsp;any obligations to offer to repurchase the ACI Notes upon certain change of control transactions along
with certain other ancillary amendments as further described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement (as defined
below) (such amendments, with respect to the corresponding ACI Indenture for that series and, together as the context requires the &ldquo;Proposed
Amendments&rdquo;).</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 Amendments with respect to each series of ACI Notes issued
by ACI, Safeway, ASC, Albertsons and ASL require the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the ACI
Notes of each affected series then outstanding under the applicable ACI Indenture voting as a separate class (the &ldquo;ACI Requisite
Consents&rdquo;). The Proposed Amendments with respect to the ACI Notes issued by NALP require the consent of the holders of not less
than 66 2/3% in principal amount of the notes of each affected series then outstanding under the indenture voting as a separate class
(the &ldquo;NALP Requisite Consents&rdquo; and, together with the ACI Requisite Consents, the &ldquo;Requisite Consents&rdquo;).</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">If the Requisite Consents are obtained for a particular series of ACI
Notes, any remaining ACI Notes for that series not tendered and exchanged for Kroger Notes will be governed by the applicable amended
ACI Indenture. Each Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation is conditioned upon, among other things, the completion of the other Exchange
Offers and Consent Solicitations, although the Company may waive such condition at any time with respect to an Exchange Offer. Any waiver
of a condition by the Company with respect to an Exchange Offer will automatically waive such condition with respect to the corresponding
Consent Solicitation, as applicable.</P>

As discussed in more detail in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement (as defined herein), each Eligible Holder that
validly tenders and does not validly withdraw ACI Notes at or prior to the Early Participation Date will receive a unique voluntary offer
instruction number (&ldquo;VOI number&rdquo;) with respect to the aggregate principal amount of ACI Notes that such holder validly tendered
at or prior to the Early Participation Date (such VOI number, the &ldquo;Early Participation VOI Number&rdquo;) and such Early Participation
VOI Number shall evidence that such Eligible Holder was the holder of record of such ACI Notes as of the Early Participation Date. On

or prior to the Expiration Date or (B)&nbsp;if an Eligible Holder validly withdraws such ACI Notes following the Early Participation Date,
each Eligible Holder that, prior to the Expiration Date, (i)&nbsp;validly re-tenders, and does not validly withdraw, such ACI Notes and
(ii)&nbsp;submits the Early Participation VOI Number with respect to such principal amount of ACI Notes tendered. In addition, an Eligible
Holder that acquires ACI Notes with an Early Participation VOI Number after the Early Participation Date and validly tenders and does
not validly withdraw such ACI Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date, along with the corresponding Early Participation VOI Number, is
also eligible to receive the Early Participation Premium in addition to the Exchange Consideration (as defined herein). To the extent
an Eligible Holder validly tenders or re-tenders ACI Notes with an Early Participation VOI Number at or prior to the Expiration Date and
the Early Participation VOI Number submitted with such tenders or re-tenders corresponds to an aggregate principal amount of ACI Notes
that does not match the aggregate principal amount of ACI Notes validly tendered, the tender may be rejected or consideration received

not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Participation Date, Eligible Holders of ACI Notes will be eligible to receive the total
consideration set out in the table above (the &ldquo;Total Consideration&rdquo;), which includes a consent payment of $1.00 in cash (the
 &ldquo;Consent Payment&rdquo;), an early participation premium of $30.00 principal amount of Kroger Notes (the &ldquo;Early Participation
Premium&rdquo;) and exchange consideration of $970.00 principal amount of Kroger Notes (the &ldquo;Exchange Consideration&rdquo;). To
be eligible to receive the Total Consideration, Eligible Holders must have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their ACI Notes
at or prior to the Early Participation Date and either (i)&nbsp;must not have validly withdrawn such ACI Notes between the Early Participation
Date and the Expiration Date or (ii)&nbsp;if such Eligible Holder has validly withdrawn such ACI Notes after the Early Participation Date,
validly re-tender such ACI Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date following the tender procedures described in the Offering Memorandum
and Consent Solicitation Statement. To be eligible to receive the applicable Early Participation Premium, Eligible Holders must validly
tender and not validly withdraw their ACI Notes of the applicable series at or prior to the Early Participation Date. In addition, an
Eligible Holder who acquires ACI Notes after the Early Participation Date and validly tenders and does not validly withdraw such ACI Notes
prior to the Expiration Date is also eligible to receive the Early Participation Premium in addition to the Exchange Consideration if
such ACI Notes were originally validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Participation Date, subject to the
tender procedures described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement. Eligible Holders who acquire ACI Notes following
the Early Participation Date will not be eligible to receive the Consent Payment with respect to such ACI Notes (and therefore, will not
be eligible to receive the Total Consideration with respect to such ACI Notes). For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Exchange Offers
are amended, in no event will any holder of ACI Notes receive more than $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Kroger Notes for each $1,000
