SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS – 2013 ANNUAL MEETING. Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion
in our proxy material relating to Kroger’s annual meeting in June 2013 should be addressed to the Secretary
of Kroger and must be received at our executive offices not later than January 11, 2013. These proposals must
comply with the proxy rules established by the SEC. In addition, the proxy solicited by the Board of Directors
for the 2013 annual meeting of shareholders will confer discretionary authority to vote on any shareholder
proposal presented at the meeting unless we are provided with notice of the proposal on or before March 28,
2013. Please note, however, that Kroger’s Regulations require a minimum of 45 days’ advance notice to Kroger
in order for a matter to be brought before shareholders at the annual meeting. As a result, any attempt to
present a proposal without notifying Kroger on or before March 30, 2013, will be ruled out of order and will
not be permitted.
——————
Attached to this Proxy Statement is Kroger’s 2011 Annual Report which includes a brief description of
Kroger’s business, including the general scope and nature thereof during 2011, together with the audited
financial information contained in our 2011 report to the SEC on Form 10-K. A copy of that report is
available to shareholders on request by writing to: Scott M. Henderson, Treasurer, The Kroger Co.,
1014 Vine Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202-1100 or by calling 1-513-762-1220. Our SEC filings are available
to the public from the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
The management knows of no other matters that are to be presented at the meeting but, if any should
be presented, the Proxy Committee expects to vote thereon according to its best judgment.
By order of the Board of Directors,
Paul W. Heldman, Secretary
