SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
DATED MAY 1, 1995
----------
This supplement to the proxy statement dated May 1,
1995 (the "Proxy Statement") is being furnished to
stockholders of The Penn Traffic Company ("Penn Traffic") in
connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of
Directors of Penn Traffic for use at the 1995 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders of Penn Traffic to be held on Wednesday, June
7, 1995, at 1:30 p.m., Columbus time, at the Hyatt Capitol
Square, 75 East State Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215.
Mr. Joseph J. McCaig, President and Chief Executive
Officer of The Grand Union Company ("Grand Union") and a
director of Penn Traffic, has resigned from the Board of
Directors of Penn Traffic, effective May 31, 1995. Until
March 1995, Penn Traffic held an indirect minority ownership
interest in Grand Union.
As more fully discussed in the Proxy Statement, at
the 1995 Annual Meeting the stockholders of Penn Traffic will
be asked, among other things, to elect three directors for
terms expiring in 1998. The nominees for election as
directors are John T. Dixon, Gary D. Hirsch and Richard D.
Segal. The directors of Penn Traffic who will remain in
office following the 1995 Annual Meeting (not including the
three nominees for election named above) are Martin A. Fox
and Harold S. Poster (terms expiring in 1996) and Eugene A.
DePalma, Susan E. Engel and Claude J. Incaudo (terms expiring
in 1997).
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXECUTED A PROXY IN RESPECT OF
THE 1995 ANNUAL MEETING AND DO NOT WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PROXY,
YOU NEED NOT TAKE FURTHER ACTION. Stockholders who have not
yet executed a proxy, or who wish to change their proxy,
should sign and date the enclosed proxy and return it in the
enclosed envelope.
Proxies in the enclosed form received from holders
of Penn Traffic Common Stock will be voted for the election
of all three nominees as directors of Penn Traffic unless
stockholders indicate otherwise. Your proxy can be revoked
at any time prior to its being voted by giving written notice
of revocation to the Secretary of Penn Traffic, by giving a
later dated proxy, or by voting at the meeting in person.
THE DATE OF THIS SUPPLEMENT IS MAY 31, 1995.
