&#8220;focus,&#8221; that the Company is &#8220;positioned&#8221; for a particular result, or similarly stated expectations. Undue reliance
should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. There are many important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include the Company's ability to compete in the highly

the Company's ability to manage its private brand program for U.S. military commissaries; the Company's ability to implement its growth
strategy; the ability of customers to fulfill their obligations to the Company; the Company's dependence on certain major customers,
suppliers and vendors; disruptions to the Company's information security network; instances of security threats, severe weather conditions
and natural disasters; impairment charges for goodwill and other long-lived assets; the Company&#8217;s ability to successfully manage
leadership transitions; the Company's ability to service its debt and to comply with debt covenants; interest rate fluctuations; changes
in the military commissary system, including its supply chain, or in the level of governmental funding; product recalls and other product-related
safety concerns; labor relations issues and rising labor costs; changes in government regulations; and other risks and uncertainties
listed under &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; and &#8220;Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&#8221;
in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes are immaterial also may impair its
business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its forward-looking
statements to reflect developments that occur or information obtained after the date of this communication.</font></p>
