may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue. </P>

(1)
Covers 55,712,504 shares of Class A common stock of Albertsons Companies, Inc., par value $0.01 per share
("Common Stock"), approved for issuance under the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the Albertsons Companies, Inc. Restricted Stock Unit Plan (together, the "Plans") and, pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock that may be offered and issued under the Plans to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock
distributions or similar transactions.
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the
Securities Act. The fee is based on a price of $16.00 per share of Common Stock, which is the initial public offering price per share of Common Stock set forth on the cover page of the Registrant's prospectus dated June 25, 2020 relating
to the Registrant's initial public offering of Common Stock.
(3)
An aggregate registration fee of $11,620 in respect of shares of the Registrant's common stock was
previously paid on July 8, 2015 in connection with the registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-205546).
Additionally, an aggregate registration fee of $202,188
in respect of shares of the Registrant's common stock was previously paid on September 25, 2015 in connection with
Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 2 to the registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-205546).
Additionally, an aggregate registration fee of $13,091 in respect of shares of the Registrant's common stock was previously paid on October 2,
2015 in connection with
Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 3 to the registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-205546).
Thus, the
aggregate filing fee associated with the Registrant in connection with the registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-205546)
was $226,899. The Registrant withdrew the
registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-205546)
by filing a Form RW on April 6, 2018. The withdrawn registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-205546)
was not declared effective, and no securities were sold thereunder. Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the Registrant utilized $225,641 previously paid in
connection with the withdrawn registration statement on Form
S-1
to offset the filing fee in respect of shares of the Registrant's common stock in connection with the registration statement on Form
S-4
(No.
333-224169)
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2018. The Registrant terminated the offering and, on August 9, 2018, filed a
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form
S-4
(No.
333-224169),
which Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form
S-4
was
declared effective on August 14, 2018, to deregister any and all securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the registration statement on Form
S-4.
Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the
Registrant utilized $196,439.32 previously paid in connection with the registration statement on Form
S-1
(No.
333-236956),
including
Pre-Effective
Amendment No. 3 to such registration statement filed on June 18, 2020. Pursuant to Rule 457(p), the Registrant hereby partially offsets the filing fee previously paid in connection with
the withdrawn registration statement on Form
S-1
against the filing fee for this registration statement on Form
S-8
by the amount of $30,459.68.

This Registration Statement incorporates herein by reference the following documents, which have been filed with the Commission by the

•
the Registrant's Prospectus dated June 25, 2020 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of
directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the DGCL are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for
liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
As permitted by the DGCL, the
Registrant's certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director. As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant's bylaws
provide that:
•
The Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by
the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions;
•
The Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL;
•
The Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and executive officers in
connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions; and
•
The rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive.
The Registrant has entered, and intends to continue to enter, into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant's certificate of incorporation and bylaws and to provide additional procedural
protections. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of the Registrant regarding which indemnification is sought. The indemnification provisions in the Registrant's certificate of
incorporation, bylaws and the indemnification agreements entered into or to be entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant's
directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in a form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
