*Totals in the above table might not equal the summation of
the columns due to rounding amounts to the nearest dollar.
| 1. | During fiscal 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Mr.
McMullen served as our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”). The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total
compensation reported for each corresponding year in the Total column of the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”). |
| 2. | The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation
actually paid” (CAP) to Mr. McMullen as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The amounts do not reflect the
actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. McMullen during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item
402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to Mr. McMullen’s total compensation for each year to determine the

| a) | The amounts included in this column are the amounts reported in “Stock
Awards” and “Option Awards” column of the SCT for fiscal 2024 and are subtracted from the Reported Summary Compensation
Table for PEO. |
| b) | The equity award and pension benefit adjustments for fiscal 2024 were
calculated in accordance with the methodology required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K as follows: the equity award adjustments for each
applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards
granted in fiscal 2024 that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount equal to the change as of the end
of fiscal 2024 (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in the fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and
unvested as of the end of fiscal 2024; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in fiscal 2024, the fair value as of the vesting date;
(iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in fiscal 2024, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of
the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting
conditions during fiscal 2024, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar
value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not
otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year.
The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair |
values did not materially differ from those disclosed
at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments for the PEO are provided in the table
below:

| c) | The amounts included in this column are the amounts reported in “Change
in Pension and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” of the SCT for fiscal 2024. Total Pension Benefit Adjustments are equal to the
Pension Service Costs incurred during the relevant period. No Prior Service Costs were incurred as no modifications were made to the pension
plan during the relevant period. |
| 3. | The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the
amounts reported for our non-PEO NEOs as a group in the Total column of the SCT in fiscal 2024. |
| 4. | The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount
of “compensation actually paid” to the Non-PEO NEOs as a group, consisting of Mr. Foley, Ms. Adcock, Mr. Cosset, Mr. Massa,
and Mr. Millerchip, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average
amount of compensation earned by or paid to these NEOs as a group during fiscal 2023. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v)
of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to the average total compensation for these NEOs as a group for fiscal 2024 to
determine the CAP using the same methodology as described in footnote 2: |

| (b) | Total Pension Benefit Adjustments are equal to the Pension Service Costs incurred during the relevant
period. No Prior Service Costs were incurred as no modifications were made to the pension plan during the relevant period. |
| 5. | Cumulative TSR is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of the cumulative
amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price
at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by (b) the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.
The peer group selected by the Company for purposes of the TSR benchmarking for the pay versus performance disclosures is the same peer
group the Company uses for its performance graph in the Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. The Peer
Group consists of Albertsons Companies, Inc. (included from June 26, 2020 when it began trading), Costco Wholesale Corporation, CVS Health
Corporation, Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V., Target Corp., Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and Walmart Inc. The cumulative TSR depicts
a hypothetical $100 investment in Kroger common shares on February 1, 2021, and shows the value of that investment over time (assuming
the reinvestment of dividends) for each calendar year. A hypothetical $100 investment in the Peer Group using the same methodology is
shown for comparison. |
| 6. | Net income is as reported in the Company’s audited financial statements
for the applicable year in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
| 7. | Adjusted FIFO Operating Profit equals gross profit, excluding the LIFO
charge, minus OG&A, minus rent, and minus depreciation and amortization. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP information, see pages 29-38
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2025, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2025. |
