On August 7, 2009, Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”) completed an underwritten public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Notes Due 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes are governed by the terms of an Indenture dated as of September 10, 1997, between Safeway and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor to The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Indenture”), and, pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 10.4 of the Indenture, the Officers’ Certificate filed as Exhibit 4.2 hereto.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, Safeway entered into an underwriting agreement dated July 31, 2009 with Banc of America Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-155994) (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Safeway under the Act.

Safeway hereby files the following exhibits to, and incorporates such exhibits by reference in, the Registration Statement which was filed on December 8, 2008 and supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement dated July 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Safeway on August 4, 2009:

Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):

The information in this Form 8-K, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of Safeway Inc., whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

On July 23, 2009, we issued our earnings press release for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. A copy of our press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In the press release and our other public statements in connection with the press release, we use the following financial measures that are not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP financial measures):

Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures – net income and net cash flow from operating activities – are provided in the press release. Reconciliations of “free cash flow” to GAAP cash flow for the 12 and 24 weeks ended

June 20, 2009 and June 14, 2008 and to the forecasted range for fiscal 2009 are also provided in the press release. Given the rapid growth in the third-party gift card business and the highly seasonal nature of that business, with a significant portion of sales of third-party gift cards occurring in late December each year, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate for payables related to third-party gift cards for 2009, and therefore is not able to provide a reconciliation of 2009 free cash flow to net cash flow from operating activities. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides information regarding various aspects of the cash that our business generates, which management believes is useful to understanding our business.

Management believes that “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Debt” and the related ratios are useful measures of operating performance that facilitate management’s evaluation of our ability to service debt and our capability to incur more debt to generate the cash needed to grow the business (including at times when interest rates fluctuate). Omitting interest, taxes and the other enumerated items provides a financial measure that is useful to management in assessing operating performance because the cash our business operations generate enables us to incur debt and thus to grow.

Management believes that “Adjusted EBITDA” and the related ratios also facilitate comparisons of our results of operations with those of companies having different capital structures. Since the levels of indebtedness, tax structures, methodologies in calculating LIFO expense and unconsolidated affiliates that other companies have are different from ours, we omit these amounts to facilitate investors’ ability to make these comparisons. Similarly, we omit depreciation and amortization because other companies may employ a greater or lesser amount of owned property, and because, in management’s experience, whether a store is new or one that is fully or mostly depreciated does not necessarily correlate to the contribution that such store makes to operating performance.

Management also believes that investors, analysts and other interested parties view our ability to generate “Adjusted EBITDA” as an important measure of our operating performance and that of other companies in our industry.

“Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Debt,” “free cash flow” and the related ratios are useful indicators of Safeway’s ability to service debt and fund share repurchases that management believes will enhance stockholder value. Adjusted EBITDA also is a useful indicator of cash available for investing activities. A portion of the free cash flow that we generate in fiscal 2009 is expected to be spent on mandatory debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net cash from operating activities or other increases and decreases in cash as shown on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods indicated as a measure of liquidity. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies in our industry may calculate “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Debt” and “free cash flow” differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Additional limitations include:

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and use our non-GAAP financial measures supplementally.

On February 26, 2009, we issued our earnings press release for the fourth fiscal quarter and full year 2008. A copy of our press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In the press release and our other public statements in connection with the press release, we use the following financial measures that are not measures of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP financial measures):

Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures – net income and net cash flow from operating activities – are provided in the press release. Reconciliations of “free cash flow” to GAAP cash flow for fiscal 2008 and 2007, to the forecasted range for fiscal 2009, for the 17 weeks ended January 3, 2009 and for the 16 weeks ended December 29, 2007 are also provided in the press release. Given the rapid growth in the third-party gift card business and the highly seasonal nature of that business, with a significant portion of sales of third-party gift cards occurring in late December each year, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate for payables related to third-party gift cards for 2009, and therefore is not able to provide a reconciliation of 2009 free cash flow to net cash flow from operating activities. Reconciliations of adjusted earnings per share to GAAP diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2008 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 are provided in the table below. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides information regarding various aspects of the cash that our business generates, which management believes is useful to understanding our business.

Management believes that “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Debt” and the related ratios are useful measures of operating performance that facilitate management’s evaluation of our ability to service debt and our capability to incur more debt to generate the cash needed to grow the business (including at times when interest rates fluctuate). Omitting interest, taxes and the other enumerated items provides a financial measure that is useful to management in assessing operating performance because the cash our business operations generate enables us to incur debt and thus to grow.

Management believes that “Adjusted EBITDA” and the related ratios also facilitate comparisons of our results of operations with those of companies having different capital structures. Since the levels of indebtedness, tax structures, methodologies in calculating LIFO expense and unconsolidated affiliates that other companies have are different from ours, we omit these amounts to facilitate investors’ ability to make these comparisons. Similarly, we omit depreciation and amortization because other companies may employ a greater or lesser amount of owned property, and because, in management’s experience, whether a store is new or one that is fully or mostly depreciated does not necessarily correlate to the contribution that such store makes to operating performance.

Management also believes that investors, analysts and other interested parties view our ability to generate “Adjusted EBITDA” as an important measure of our operating performance and that of other companies in our industry.

“Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Debt,” “free cash flow” and the related ratios are useful indicators of Safeway’s ability to service debt and fund share repurchases that management believes will enhance stockholder value. Adjusted EBITDA also is a useful indicator of cash available for investing activities. A portion of the free cash flow that the Company generates in fiscal 2009 is expected to be spent on mandatory debt service requirements or other non-discretionary expenditures.

The exclusion included in “adjusted earnings per share” relates to the estimated effects of Hurricane Ike. Management believes that excluding this item provides a useful financial measure that will facilitate comparisons of our operating results before, during and after such expense was incurred, as well as facilitating comparisons of our performance with that of other companies that might not have the expense that we have experienced. Management also believes that investors, analysts and other interested parties view our “adjusted earnings per share” as an indicator of our ongoing operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net cash from operating activities or other increases and decreases in cash as shown on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods indicated as a measure of liquidity. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Other companies in our industry may calculate “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Debt” and “free cash flow” differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Additional limitations include:

Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and use our non-GAAP financial measures supplementally.
