<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On October&nbsp;22, 2018, United Natural Foods,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;UNFI&#148;), completed the previously announced acquisition contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended, (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;) by and among UNFI, SUPERVALU INC. (&#147;SUPERVALU&#148;), SUPERVALU Enterprises,&nbsp;Inc. and Jedi Merger Sub,&nbsp;Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of UNFI (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;).

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The total aggregate consideration payable in the Acquisition was approximately $1.35 billion, not including related transaction fees and expenses.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">PROVIDENCE, RI &#151; October&nbsp;22, 2018 &#151; United Natural Foods,&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ: UNFI) (&#147;UNFI&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) announced today it has completed the previously announced acquisition of SUPERVALU INC. for $32.50 per share in cash, or approximately $2.9 billion, including the assumption of outstanding debt and liabilities. The completion follows the satisfaction of all closing conditions including approval of the transaction by SUPERVALU shareholders and receipt of all necessary antitrust approvals. In connection with the completion of the transaction, SUPERVALU&#146;s common stock will cease trading prior to market open on October&nbsp;22, 2018 and will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Today is an important milestone for UNFI. We will take the best from both businesses to create North America&#146;s premier food wholesaler with significant scale, reach and choices for our customers. We are pleased to welcome our new colleagues from SUPERVALU as well as their customers and suppliers to UNFI.&#160; Our companies share customer-centric cultures and dedicated associates who are committed to continuous improvement, which will help drive our integration programs,&#148; said Steve Spinner, UNFI&#146;s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We are excited to continue to further build out the store to a more diverse customer base across the country, with both broad better-for-you natural, organic brands and fresh perimeter offerings, as we capitalize on opportunities to cross-sell and realize the benefits of the greater scale we now have as a combined company,&#148; said Sean Griffin, Chief Executive Officer of SUPERVALU and Head of the Integration Committee. &#147;Work has already begun for the Company to realize the significant projected run-rate cost synergies associated with this transaction &#151; more than $175 million by year three and more than $185 million by year four &#151; and we are committed to improving profitability into the future. We believe that we can achieve these targets and leverage scalable systems to streamline our processes, more efficiently meet the needs of our customers and reduce future capital expenditures.&#160; We look forward to providing an update on our integration efforts at our January&nbsp;16, 2019 investor day.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This press release contains, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the &#147;safe harbor&#148; provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. UNFI&#146;s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections, and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;budget,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;may,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;should,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;predicts,&#148; &#147;potential,&#148; &#147;might&#148; and &#147;continues,&#148; and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, UNFI&#146;s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the business combination, and the integration of the businesses. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside UNFI&#146;s and SUPERVALU&#146;s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1)&nbsp;the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against UNFI or SUPERVALU in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (2)&nbsp;risks associated with increased leverage from the transaction; (3)&nbsp;the risk that consummation of the business combination disrupts current plans and operations; (4)&nbsp;the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (5)&nbsp;costs related to the business combination; and (6)&nbsp;other risks and uncertainties identified in UNFI&#146;s and SUPERVALU&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;). More information about other potential factors that could affect UNFI&#146;s and SUPERVALU&#146;s business and financial results is included under the captions &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#148; in UNFI&#146;s Annual Report</font></p>
