History and Business of Company (this information may include date of incorporation)
Safeway was incorporated in the state of Delaware in July 1986 as SSI Holdings Corporation and, thereafter, its name was changed to Safeway Stores, Incorporated. In February 1990, the Company changed its name to Safeway Inc. In November 2002, Safeway announced its decision to sell the Company's Dominick's division, which consists of 113 stores, and to exit the Chicago market. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," Dominick's operations are considered components of an entity which requires the Company to present the planned disposition as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, Dominick's results are reflected separately in the Company's consolidated financial statements, and Dominick's information is excluded from the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements and the rest of the statistical and financial information included or incorporated by reference herein, unless otherwise noted. Safeway's corporate website is located at www.safeway.com. You may access our SEC filings free of charge at our corporate website promptly after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
