This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 14D-1 filed on
March 15, 1999, as amended, relating to the offer by Ahold Acquisition, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of
Ahold U.S.A., Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Ahold U.S.A."), an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Croesus Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Croesus") and
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Koninklijke Ahold N.V. (also referred to
as Royal Ahold), a public company with limited liability incorporated under the
laws of The Netherlands with its corporate seat in Zaandam (Municipality
Zaanstad), The Netherlands ("Parent"), to purchase for cash all of the issued
and outstanding shares of the $3.52 Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Supermarkets General
Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a price of
$38.25 per Share (the "Offer Price"), net to the seller in cash, without
interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Offer to Purchase, dated March 15, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the
related Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
Item 10. Additional Information.
Paragraph (e) of Item 10 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
thereto the following:
"As previously described in the Schedule 14D-1, the Company, SMG-II,
the Purchaser and the directors of the Company and the plaintiff in a purported
stockholder class action lawsuit entitled Wolfson v. Supermarkets General
Holdings Corporation, et al., C.A. No. 17047 (the "Action") agreed to settle the
Action pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding dated May 19, 1999. Thereafter,
the parties executed a definitive settlement agreement that was submitted to the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Court") for approval. The Court
scheduled a hearing for July 22, 1999 to consider, among other things, whether
the action shall be certified as a class action, the fairness, reasonableness
and adequacy of the settlement and the fee application to be made by plaintiff's
counsel. At the hearing, the Court certified the class and approved the
settlement and the fee application."
