The merger legally closed on November 19, 2013. In connection with the merger, Spartan Stores changed its trade name to SpartanNash Company. The formal name change became effective following the annual shareholders meeting in May 2014.

If at the time of the merger, I held Nash-Finch stock, how many shares of Spartan Stores stock will I receive for each share of Nash Finch stock?

Nash-Finch stockholders are entitled to receive 1.20 shares of Spartan Stores common stock for each share of Nash-Finch common stock they held and cash in lieu of fractional shares. This exchange ratio was fixed and was not adjusted to reflect stock price changes prior to the closing of the merger.

If at the time of the merger, I held Nash Finch stock, do I need to do anything to exchange my shares for shares of SPTN common stock?

If you are a stockholder that owns stock through a broker, the shares are automatically converted and you will receive an account statement detailing your new holdings of SPTN common stock. Similarly, if you are a registered stockholder of Nash-Finch common stock and hold the shares electronically in book entry format, the shares are automatically converted and you will receive an account statement detailing your new holdings of SPTN common stock. However, if you are a registered stockholder holding paper certificates representing Nash-Finch’s common stock, as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective time of the merger, SPTN’s exchange agent will send a letter of transmittal specifying, among other things, that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to any certificates representing Nash-Finch’s shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the exchange agent. The letter will also include instructions explaining the procedure for surrendering Nash-Finch stock certificates in exchange for shares of SPTN common stock in book-entry form.

If, at the time of the merger, I held Nash-Finch common stock certificates, and, following the merger, SPTN declares a dividend or distribution to common stockholders, am I eligible to receive such dividend or distribution?
