SEC no-action letter: Koninklijke Ahold N.V. tender offer for Santa Isabel S.A.

The Commission grants exemptions from Rules 14d-10(a)(1) and 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to Koninklijke Ahold N.V. and its subsidiaries regarding their dual tender offers for shares and American Depositary Shares of Santa Isabel S.A. The exemption from Rule 14d-10(a)(1) permits Ahold to make the U.S. Offer available to all holders of ADSs and U.S. resident holders of Shares, while allowing all Share holders, including U.S. persons, to participate in the Chilean Offer. The exemption from Rule 14e-5 allows Ahold to purchase Shares in the Chilean Offer while the U.S. Offer remains pending. This relief is strictly limited to this transaction and is based on representations that Ahold will comply with Rule 14e-5 except for the specifically granted relief.
