Chair of the Board, and Tony Sarsam, our CEO, did not respond to their outreach &#8211; this is an outright lie. In fact, we did respond,
and here is what Mr. Hacker sent directly to Jonathan Duskin, CEO of Macellum, on April 29, 2022:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.75in"><I>Thank you for your note. The SpartanNash Board takes its
fiduciary responsibilities very seriously. As we have stated publicly, we are open to hearing any ideas &#8211; from any source &#8211;
that would be beneficial to our shareholders.</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.75in"><I>If you have had conversations with credible parties that
would be interested in a transaction, we encourage you to have them reach out to us directly &#8211; as would be typical for the situation.
I can assure you that the Board will act promptly and appropriately to assess the attractiveness and credibility of any such outreach.</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in">Although it is our policy not to comment on market rumors or
speculation, we feel it is important to set the record straight. To be clear &#8211; since we began engaging with Macellum in 2021, SpartanNash
has not received any offers to buy the Company, nor has it been approached directly by any strategic or financial buyer to acquire the
Company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in">The SpartanNash Board remains open-minded and receptive to constructive
ideas, from any source, that will drive shareholder value, and the Board is not opposed to any credible value enhancing idea. In fact,
the experience of the Board in past roles shows how we have overseen value creation at other companies through transactions when they
were credible and appropriate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in">Today&#8217;s press release from the Investor Group referencing
leaks to the media and their previous claims to have received unsolicited communications from strategic buyers interested in a transaction,
is just another part of their recycled playbook that they have attempted to use at apparel, discount and department store retailers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in">Furthermore, the Investor Group&#8217;s sudden interest in aligning
on a settlement appears to be more tactical than it is genuine given they did not respond to the email from our Chair of the Board before
they issued their press release this morning. As we have previously noted, SpartanNash has attempted to reach a constructive resolution
with Macellum on multiple occasions and our offers were rejected outright.</P>

about the plans, strategies, objectives, goals or expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are identifiable by words

could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include the Company's ability to compete in the highly
competitive grocery distribution, retail grocery and military distribution industries; disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic;
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
