Purchase and sale agreements with FTC divestiture buyers concluded
AHOLD MAKES SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN
FINALIZING ACQUISITION OF GIANT FOOD
Zaandam, The Netherlands, September 17, 1998 - Royal Ahold, the international
food retailer, has made major progress in completing its acquisition of US
supermarket company Giant Food Inc. The staff of the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) previously indicated that stores in 10 locations required divestiture
before approving the acquisition. Divesting these stores counterbalances Ahold's
increased market presence in these states following completion of the
transaction. Ahold has now located buyers and received preliminary indications
from FTC staff that the divestiture buyers for all 10 stores and the signed
purchase and sale agreements are acceptable.
Six of the 10 stores to be divested are currently operated by Giant Food Inc.,
the other four by Martin's, a store name used by Giant Food Stores, the
Carlisle, PA-based supermarket chain Ahold acquired in 1981. All 10 are located
in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
- - In Maryland, the Martin's store in Bel Air is being sold to the Fleming
Company Inc., the Martin's in Westminster, to Richfood Holdings Inc.; the
two Martin's stores in Frederick, to Frederick County Foods LLC; and one
Giant Food Inc. store in Eldersburg, to Safeway.
- - In Pennsylvania, five Giant Food `Super G' supermarkets located around
Philadelphia (Hilltown, East Norriton, Norristown, Yardley and Warminster)
are sold to Supervalu Inc.
Approval by the staff of the FTC is an `important step forward in the regulatory
process to approve the acquisition,' said an Ahold spokesman. `All parties
involved have worked hard to reach this point. We now look forward to the senior
FTC staff review and then the vote by FTC Commissioners, which will constitute
`final' approval of the divestiture settlement. Once that is granted, we can
round off our tender offer for Giant Food's Class A Non-Voting Stock and
complete the acquisition. We're optimistic the Commission's vote will be held
shortly.'
