proposed amendments (the &#8220;Proposed Amendments&#8221;) to each of the indentures (each an &#8220;ACI Indenture&#8221; and, collectively,
the &#8220;ACI Indentures&#8221;) governing the ACI Notes as further described in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation
statement dated August&#160;15, 2024 (the &#8220;Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement&#8221;).</p>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Based on the early tenders as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on August&#160;28, 2024 (the &#8220;Early Participation Date&#8221;), the requisite number of consents have been received to adopt
the Proposed Amendments with respect to certain of the outstanding series of ACI Notes (the &#8220;Consented Series&#8221;) as
described&#8239;in the Company&#8217;s press release, dated August&#160;29, 2024, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit&#160;99.1
to this Current Report on Form&#160;8-K and incorporated herein by reference (the &#8220;press release&#8221;). The applicable ACI Issuing Entities
have executed supplemental indentures to the ACI Indentures implementing the Proposed Amendments with respect to the Consented
Series, which became effective upon execution but will not become operative until settlement of the Exchange Offers.</p>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations were commenced in
connection with the pending merger between a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company and ACI, with ACI surviving the merger as
a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the &#8220;Merger&#8221;) and are being made solely pursuant to the conditions set
forth in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement in a private offering exempt from, or not subject to,
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are conditioned, among other things, upon the closing of the Merger.
The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September&#160;13, 2024, unless
extended or earlier terminated (such date and time with respect to an Exchange Offer, as may be extended for such Exchange Offer,
the &#8220;Expiration Date&#8221;). The settlement date for the Exchange Offers will be promptly after the Expiration Date and&#8239;is expected to occur on or promptly after the closing date of the Merger.</p>

did not validly revoke) a consent prior to the Early Participation Date will continue to be eligible to receive a consent payment of
$1.00 in cash (the &ldquo;Consent Payment&rdquo;) on the Settlement Date for each $1,000 principal amount of such ACI Notes, even if
such holder withdraws its tender of such ACI Notes after the Early Participation Date or is no longer the beneficial owner of such ACI

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company also announced an amendment to the Consent Solicitations

that validly tenders ACI Notes of the Unconsented Series&nbsp;after the Early Participation Date will be deemed to have validly delivered
the related consents for the Proposed Amendments, but will not receive the Consent Payment with respect to such ACI Notes. If the requisite
consents are received with respect to a series of ACI Notes following the Early Participation Date, the Company will direct the applicable
ACI obligor to execute a supplemental indenture to effect the Proposed Amendments. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company is no longer
soliciting consents for the Consented Series&nbsp;and the Consent Solicitations with respect to the Consented Series&nbsp;have expired.</P>

of the Company with and into ACI, with ACI surviving the merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the &ldquo;Merger&rdquo;).
Except as described in this press release, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, as set forth in
the Offering Memorandum, remain unchanged. Kroger generally may waive any such condition at any time with respect to an Exchange Offer
or Consent Solicitation, but may not waive the condition that the Merger shall have been consummated. Any waiver of a condition by Kroger
with respect to an Exchange Offer will automatically waive such condition with respect to the corresponding Consent Solicitation, as
applicable. In addition, Kroger may amend the terms of any Exchange Offer or Consent Solicitation without amending the terms of any other
Exchange Offer or Consent Solicitation, respectively. Any amendment of the terms of an Exchange Offer by Kroger will automatically amend
such terms with respect to the corresponding Consent Solicitation, as applicable. <B>The closing of the Merger is not conditioned upon
the completion of the Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations</B>.</P>

Offers will be promptly after the Expiration Date and is expected to occur on or promptly after the closing date of the Merger.</P>
