The press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements relate to SpartanNash’s current expectations and are subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the press release as well as in SpartanNash’s other documents filed with the SEC, including, without limitation, that actual events and/or results may differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements.

Also on February 24, 2022, SpartanNash announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The new program will supplement the SpartanNash’s previous $50 million repurchase program. The new program will expire on February 22, 2027. The timing and the amount of any repurchases of common stock will be determined by SpartanNash based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Repurchases of common stock may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit common stock to be repurchased when SpartanNash might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws.
