The Kroger Co. Extends Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for Albertsons Companies, Inc. Notes

On November 6, 2024, The Kroger Co. announced the extension of the expiration date for its exchange offers and consent solicitations for Albertsons Companies, Inc. notes. The new expiration date is set for 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 14, 2024, which may be further extended. The exchange offers involve exchanging outstanding notes for new notes and cash, while the consent solicitations aim to adopt proposed amendments to the governing indentures. These actions are related to the pending merger between a wholly owned subsidiary of The Kroger Co. and Albertsons Companies, Inc., with Albertsons Companies, Inc. surviving the merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of The Kroger Co. The settlement of the exchange offers and consent solicitations is expected to occur promptly after the expiration date and is expected to occur on or promptly after the closing date of the merger.
