The Kroger Co. executive reports small stock disposition for tax payment
A Kroger Co. officer, listed as Vice President and Treasurer, reported a routine change in ownership of Kroger common stock. On 12/08/2025, 62 shares of Kroger common stock were disposed of at a price of $63.38 per share under transaction code F, which reflects shares withheld to cover taxes on restricted stock. After this transaction, the reporting person directly owned 49,260.396 Kroger shares and indirectly owned 3,480 shares through a spouse.

The Kroger Co. filed an amended current report to update its earlier disclosure about closing certain fulfillment centers in the United States. The company now estimates that the impairment and related charges from these closures include a cash payment to Ocado of approximately $350 million. This amount represents a significant one-time cash charge associated with shutting down these facilities and adjusting the related fulfillment arrangements.

Each phantom share represents the right to receive one common share when amounts are distributed from his deferred compensation account.
Following this transaction, Sargent beneficially owned 185,426 shares of Kroger common stock directly and 67,892.807 phantom stock units. According to the plan terms, the phantom stock will be distributed after the termination of his services as an Independent Director of The Kroger Co.

After this transaction, she held a total of 24,056.387 phantom stock units, each representing the right to receive one Kroger common share when amounts are distributed from her deferred compensation account.
