Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit
Plans.
The SUPERVALU Retail Employees' 401(k) Plan, SUPERVALU Wholesale
Employees' 401(k) Plan, Pittsburgh Division Profit Sharing Plan, Albertsons
Savings & Retirement Estates and Albertsons Savings & Retirement Estates II of
SUPERVALU INC. (the "Company") were merged into the SUPERVALU INC. Pretax
Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (all of the foregoing 401(k) plans of the
Company are referred to together as the "Old Plans") on January 1, 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, the surviving 401(k) plan, the SUPERVALU INC. Pretax
Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, was renamed the SUPERVALU STAR 401(k) Plan
(together with the Old Plans, the "Plans").
On December 21, 2007, the Company sent a notice to the Company's
directors and executive officers (the "Notice") advising them that the Company
was changing the trustee and record keeper of the Plans, which requires a
blackout period involving the temporary suspension of transactions in the Plans,
and that the Company's directors and executive officers were prohibited from
purchasing, selling or otherwise acquiring or transferring any of the Company's
common stock, $1.00 par value per share, or exercising any stock options during
a blackout period with respect to them ("Blackout Period"). The Notice indicated
that the Blackout Period began on December 21, 2007 and would end on or about
January 7, 2008. The Notice was attached as an exhibit to a Current Report on
Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
December 21, 2007.
On January 8, 2008, the Company sent an updated notice to the Company's
directors and executive officers (the "Updated Notice") informing them that the
Blackout Period will not terminate on or about January 7, 2008, as anticipated,
but is now expected to end on January 11, 2008. This extension of the Blackout
Period is necessary because the process of changing the trustee and record
keeper of the Plans will not be completed prior to January 10, 2008. The Updated
Notice indicated that, except for the change in termination date of the Blackout
Period, all of the information contained in the Notice sent to the executive
officers and directors of the Company on December 21, 2007 continues to be
accurate and in effect.
A copy of the Updated Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
