Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I am going to slightly disagree about divestitures to Stater Brothers being negative to competition in the broad IE. On the whole, yes, they are fully deployed in the IE, but just a little east of there in the Coachella Valley, they have no coverage in the submarkets along 111 (essentially no store...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Yet the FTC has indeed allowed a lot of other silliness over the last two decades that has not been allowed before. I would wait before you automatically write this one off. I know it would create a giant monster, but the government loves giant monsters these days. I think there are many legitimate...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
They are not talking about anything other than the FTC extending the deadline beyond January 17. This is complete silliness. The FTC and multiple states are going to sue to block it. Yet the FTC has indeed allowed a lot of other silliness over the last two decades that has not been allowed before. ...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
FTC head says decision on blocking Albertsons/Kroger deal won’t happen this year https://boisedev.com/news/2023/11/02/lina-khan-kroger-albertsons/ They will sue to block. Multiple states will as well. For the last nearly a year, I've worked in government between D.C. & CA. Heard it all. Timing f...

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?
I don't care because you're wrong. It's right in what you just posted! Read it! The assets are being spun to Albertsons shareholders. Not to Kroger shareholders. Yes, but it will include Albertsons and Kroger assets. Now, can we end this bickering? LOL. No, because you're wrong. You can not put Kro...

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?
You need to read the press release - that’s not what it says. It clearly states that Kroger and Albertsons will JOINTLY choose which assets go into SpinCo and will JOINTLY choose how the company is capitalized. SpinCo will be spun off AT CLOSING. Once again, you ARE NOT reading it correctly. The on...

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?
Once again, you ARE NOT reading it correctly. The only reason they are jointly choosing the assets is to pass FTC muster. They're all Albertsons assets. From the Kroger/Albertsons press release: "In connection with obtaining the requisite regulatory clearance necessary to consummate the transa...

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?
There’s nothing to suggest SpinCo will comprise of Albertsons assets only; the press release indicates that Kroger and Albertsons will jointly make the decision in which assets are put into into, SpinCo will be spun off to Albertsons shareholders as part of the deal and the final price may be adjus...
