Albertsons Companies

Albertsons is the second largest supermarket operator in the United States with over 2,200 stores across a variety of banners. About 80% of the firm's sales stem from non-perishable and fresh food, of which 25% comes from its portfolio of private brands. The company operates fuel centers and pharmacies at about 20% and 75% of its store locations, respectively. Albertsons went public in 2020 following years of ownership under private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, which still owns about a fourth of outstanding shares.

스피릿 항공(NYSE:SAVE)이 파산 신청을 고려 중이라는 소식이 퍼지자, 비판자들은 소셜 미디어를 통해 바이든 행정부를 비난했다. 그 이유는 무엇일까? 올해 1월, 미국 반독점 규제 당국이 제트블루 항공(NASDAQ:JBLU)의 38억 달러에 스피릿 인수를 차단한 사건을 기억해 보자. 실제로 지난 4년 동안, 규제 당국은 경쟁을 저해한다고 판단되는 인수합병 활동을 종종 저지해왔다. 예를 들어 크로거(NYSE:KR)와 앨버트슨(NYSE:ACI)의 250억 달러 규모 합병과 같은 사례가 있다.

Kroger Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) disclosed the termination of its merger agreement with Albertsons Companies, Inc.

Kroger's Board approved a new $7.5 billion share repurchase program, replacing the previous $1 billion authorization from September 2022.
The company plans to execute an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement for about $5 billion of common stock.

Following the termination of the merger agreement, Kroger will redeem $4.7 billion in senior notes issued on August 27, 2024.

The company disclosed the termination of its merger agreement with Albertsons Companies, Inc.

The FTC had argued that the proposed deal violated antitrust laws. The companies submitted a plan to the FTC that included the divestiture of hundreds of stores to C&amp;S Wholesale Grocers in order to maintain appropriate competition in the space.
Nelson on Tuesday found that the divestiture plans wouldn't do enough to replace competition that would be impacted as a result of the deal.

Later yesterday, Kroger issued a statement that it looks forward to accelerating its flywheel to grow alternative profit businesses and generate increased cash flows.
Rodney McMullen, Kroger&#8217;s Chairman and CEO said, &#8220;The strength of our balance sheet and sustainability of our model allows us to pursue a variety of growth opportunities, including further investment in our store network through new stores and remodels, which will be an important part of our 8 – 11% TSR model over time.&#8221;

Kroger Terminates Its Merger Agreement With Albertsons; Board Authorizes $7.5B Share Repurchase Program Including $5B Accelerated Share Repurchase

Kroger Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KR#NYSE">KR</a>) and Albertsons Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACI#NYSE">ACI</a>) will remain competitors after a U.S. judge blocked the companies&#8217; proposed merger. It didn&#8217;t take long for them to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/b42436436/albertsons-files-lawsuit-against-kroger-for-breach-of-merger-agreement">start acting like it again</a>.
What Happened: Albertsons announced the termination of its proposed merger with Kroger and filed a lawsuit against the grocery giant, accusing Kroger of violating the contractual obligations of the merger agreement by failing to do all it could to secure regulatory approval.
&#8220;Rather than fulfill its contractual obligations to ensure that the merger succeeded, Kroger acted in its own financial self-interest, repeatedly providing insufficient divestiture proposals that ignored regulators&#8217; concerns. Kroger&#8217;s self-serving conduct, taken at the expense of Albertsons and the agreed transaction, has harmed Albertsons&#8217; shareholders, associates and consumers,&#8221; said Tom Moriarty, general counsel and chief policy officer of Albertsons.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Adrienne Nelson <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42424808/kroger-stock-up-after-judge-blocks-albertsons-deal-what-you-need-to-know">blocked the proposed merger</a> of the two companies after finding the deal would impact competition in the grocery space. Attorneys for both companies previously said the deal would most likely be squashed if the judge ruled in favor of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

Albertsons alleges Kroger failed to exercise &#8220;best efforts&#8221; and failed to take &#8220;any and all actions&#8221; to make sure the merger was approved as required of the company under terms of the merger agreement. Albertsons also alleges Kroger breached the merger agreement by &#8220;repeatedly refusing&#8221; to divest necessary assets for antitrust approval, ignoring regulators&#8217; feedback and failing to cooperate with Albertsons.
Kroger responded to the accusations Wednesday morning, calling the lawsuit &#8220;baseless and without merit.&#8221;
&#8220;Kroger refutes these allegations in the strongest possible terms,&nbsp;especially in light of Albertsons&#8217; repeated intentional material breaches and interference throughout the merger process, which we will prove in court,&#8221; the company said. 
&#8220;We went to extraordinary lengths to uphold the merger agreement throughout the entirety of the regulatory process and the facts will make that abundantly clear.&#8221;
Albertsons is seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, alleging shareholders were unfairly denied a multi-billion-dollar premium that Kroger agreed to pay for Albertsons shares.
Albertsons also believes it&#8217;s entitled to a $600 million termination fee. Kroger challenged the allegation in its statement and said the company looks forward to responding in court.
KR, ACI Price Action: At the time of publication, Kroger shares were up 0.58% at $61.08 while Albertsons shares were down 0.38% at $18.44, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Albertsons' claims are baseless and without merit.
Kroger refutes these allegations in the strongest possible terms, especially in light of Albertsons' repeated intentional material breaches and interference throughout the merger process, which we will prove in court.
This is clearly an attempt to deflect responsibility following Kroger's written notification of Albertsons' multiple breaches of the agreement, and to seek payment of the merger's break fee, to which they are not entitled.
Kroger looks forward to responding to these baseless claims in court. We went to extraordinary lengths to uphold the merger agreement throughout the entirety of the regulatory process and the facts will make that abundantly clear.
We are incredibly proud of the Kroger team for how they worked through the merger process with the highest degree of integrity and commitment. &nbsp;
We are confident in Kroger's value creation model to drive sustainable growth. &nbsp;Kroger's Board of Directors is currently evaluating next steps that serve the best interests of Kroger's customers and associates, and create value for shareholders.
