The regulatory dain bramage appears incredibly ridiculous.
I could see Kroger filing suit, but these AG’s are simply trying to score cheap political points.
Fairly shoddy reporting because they either have the money to pay the dividend or they have the ability to borrow to pay the dividend.
Albertson’s is a private equity entity so the owners want to get paid right away. It also lowers the price Kroger would be willing to pay for the entity.
