Kroger Extends Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for Albertsons Notes
On October 2, 2024, The Kroger Co. announced the extension of the expiration date for its Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for Albertsons Companies, Inc. notes. The Exchange Offers allow for the exchange of outstanding notes for new notes issued by Kroger and cash, while the Consent Solicitations seek consent to adopt certain amendments to the indentures governing the notes. The extension aims to facilitate the pending merger between a Kroger subsidiary and Albertsons Companies, Inc., with Albertsons surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kroger. The extension was made to allow more time for the merger to close, which is expected during the fourth quarter of 2024. The requisite consents were received for the Proposed Amendments with respect to the Consented Series as of August 29, 2024, and the Proposed Amendments will become operative upon the settlement of the Exchange Offers, expected promptly after the Expiration Date.
