PART I.
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
EXPLANATORY NOTE
As originally filed on September 11, 1990, this Registration Statement
registered 500,000 shares of the Common Stock of Safeway Inc. (the "Company")
which had been approved for issuance under the Company's Outside Director Equity
Purchase Plan (the "Outside Director Plan"). The Company now has adopted a new
plan, the 1999 Amended and Restated Equity Participation Plan (the "1999 Plan"),
to which shares remaining available for grant under the Outside Director Plan
may be transferred for the purpose of new grants. The Company had a two-for-one
stock split in each of 1996 and 1998, and, as a result, the number of shares
registered under the Outside Director Plan is 2,000,000. As of December 31, 1998
1,663,833 shares were available for issuance under the Outside Director Plan.
Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed (under
Instruction E to Form S-8) to de-register 1,663,833 shares previously registered
for the Outside Director Plan and to move those shares to a new Form S-8
Registration Statement (File No. 333-87289) filed by the Company for shares
issuable under the 1999 Plan.
