Ahold extends tender offer in connection with Pathmark
Zaandam, The Netherlands, November 12, 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 Friday, December 17, 1999. The offer had been scheduled to expire on
Monday, November 15, 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 November 10, 1999, approximately 4.3 million
shares (89%) 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tendered and not withdrawn.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tendered in the offer and not withdrawn.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.
