01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 10-K/A filed August 2, 2000. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

This amended Form 10-K/A from The Kroger Co. covers the fiscal year ended January 29, 2000, and is filed under the company's Ohio incorporation with its headquarters at 1014 Vine St., Cincinnati, Ohio.

The filing as presented contains only Part II, Item 5 (Market for the Registrant's Common Equity), so it does not include financial statements, revenue, earnings, or operating results. Its primary content is stock market and shareholder information: Kroger's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol KR, with 830,804,611 shares outstanding as of April 26, 2000, and an aggregate market value held by non-affiliates of $12,256,639,106a as of March 6, 2000. Stock price performance is shown for 1999 and 1998 by quarter.

In 1999 the stock traded between a high of 34-29/32 in the first quarter and a low of 14-7/8 in the fourth quarter, with the fourth-quarter high at 24-1/4. The number of shareowners was 51,000 at year-end 1999 and 51,286 at April 26, 2000, based on shareholders of record. On dividends, the filing states that Kroger has paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock for the past three fiscal years.

Its May 28, 1997 Credit Agreement prohibits cash dividends for the agreement's term, although stock dividends are permitted. For investors, this means the company's capital return policy is constrained by its credit agreement, and any income-oriented return would have to come from share price appreciation.
