| (a) | On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation to provide economic stimulus and support businesses and individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, referred to as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. In connection with the CARES Act, the Company recorded net discrete income tax benefits of $10.1 million in 2020 associated with the additional deductibility of certain expenses combined with provisions which enable companies to carry back tax losses to years prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”), where the federal statutory income tax rate was 35%. As a result of carrying back losses to previous tax years, the Company recorded $0.8 million in expense to reinstate tax contingencies which had previously expired, included in the “Change in tax contingencies” line in the table above.

Unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million are set to expire prior to January 1, 2022. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The amount recognized due to a lapse in the statute of limitations that reduced the Company’s effective income tax rate in 2020 and 2019 was immaterial in both years. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, that would reduce the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized in future periods was $1.1 million as of January 2, 2021. SpartanNash or its subsidiaries file income tax returns with federal, state and local tax authorities within the United States. With few exceptions, SpartanNash is no longer subject to examinations by U.S. federal tax authorities for fiscal years before the year ended January 3, 2015, and state or local tax authorities for fiscal years before the year ended December 31, 2016.
