This Amendment No. 5 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"), 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 (f) of Item 10 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding
thereto the following:
The "Introduction," Section 1--"Terms of the Offer," Section
11--"Purpose of the Offer; Plans for the Company; Certain Agreements" and
Section 14--"Conditions of the Offer" of the Offer to Purchase are hereby
amended to add at the end thereof the following:
"On September 9, 1999, SMG-II Holdings Corporation ("SMG-II") gave
notice to its stockholders that as of September 4, 1999, the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of March 9, 1999 (the "SMG-II Merger Agreement"),
by and among Parent, the Purchaser and SMG-II, and the transactions
contemplated thereby, including the acquisition of all of the issued and
outstanding shares of the capital stock of SMG-II by Parent through the
merger of the Purchaser with and into SMG-II (the "SMG-II Merger"), was
approved and adopted by the consent of the holders of (i) 685,776 shares of
Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class A Common
Stock"), of SMG-II, (ii) 320,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), of SMG-II, (iii) 236,731
shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01
per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), of SMG-II, (iv) 180,769 shares
of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), of SMG-II, and (v) 33,020 shares of
Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Series C Preferred Stock" and, together with the Class A Common
Stock, the Class B Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock and the
Series B Preferred Stock, collectively, the "SMG-II Stock") representing in
the aggregate approximately 95.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of
SMG-II Stock on August 24 1999, the record date for determining holders of
record of SMG-II Stock entitled to consent to such action. The approval and
adoption of the SMG-II Merger Agreement required the affirmative consent of
the stockholders of SMG-II holding 66 2/3% of the shares of SMG-II Stock
outstanding on August 24, 1999.
"Therefore, two conditions of the Offer have been satisfied: (1) that
the SMG II Merger Agreement and the SMG-II Merger be approved by holders of
66 2/3% of the SMG-II Stock and (2) that holders of shares of SMG-II Stock
representing in the aggregate not more than 5% of the amount that would be
payable by Parent or the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5 of the SMG-II
Merger Agreement if there would be no dissenting stockholders shall (i)
have perfected their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law or (ii) be entitled after the Closing (as defined
in the SMG-II Merger Agreement) to so perfect their appraisal rights. The
Offer remains conditioned on the Minimum Condition, the expiration or
termination of any applicable waiting period under antitrust laws, and
certain other terms and conditions described in Section 14--"Conditions of
the Offer"."
