Ahold extends tender offer in connection with Pathmark
Zaandam, The Netherlands, October 8, 1999 - Royal Ahold today announced that its
wholly-owned subsidiary Ahold Acquisition, Inc. is extending the tender offer
for the preferred stock of Supermarkets General Holdings Corporation at a price
of $ 39.85 per share of preferred stock until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
Monday, November 15, 1999. The offer had been scheduled to expire on Friday,
October 8, 1999.
The tender offer has been made pursuant to a merger agreement under which Royal
Ahold will acquire all of the outstanding shares of SMG-II Holdings Corporation,
the company which controls the US supermarket company Pathmark Stores, Inc.
through Supermarkets General.
Based upon information provided by Citibank N.A., as depositary for the offer,
as of the close of business on October 6, 1999, approximately 3.7 million shares
(75%) of the outstanding Supermarkets General preferred stock have been tendered
and not withdrawn. Completion of the tender offer is subject to a number of
conditions, including obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and at least 66
2/3% of the shares of Supermarkets General preferred stock being tendered in the
offer and not withdrawn. In the event that 66 2/3% of the Supermarkets General
preferred stock is not tendered, SMG-II has agreed to cause its subsidiary to
sell to Ahold Acquisition all of the outstanding shares of Pathmark for the same
purchase price.
