January 07 2016 - 02:17PM
Business Wire
SUPERVALU INC. (NYSE: SVU) today announced that it filed an
initial Form 10 Registration Statement (Form 10) with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the possible
spin-off of its Save-A-Lot business into a separate, publicly
traded company.
SUPERVALU announced in July 2015 that it was exploring a
separation of its Save-A-Lot business, and that as part of that
process it had begun preparations to allow for a possible spin-off
of Save-A-Lot into a stand-alone public company. With the filing of
the Form 10, SUPERVALU is continuing preparations to separate
Save-A-Lot, although at this time there can be no assurances that a
separation or spin-off of Save-A-Lot will occur, or that any other
changes in the Company’s overall operations will happen.
