ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION This 13D amendment is being filed pursuant to the Dinger Group's change in position with respect to Foodarama Supermarkets Inc. Carl W. Dinger III of the filing Group has had ongoing discussions with Foodarama's Management regarding the Group's recently submitted shareholder proposal which recommends Management authorize a dutch tender offer. Management indicated that while they support efforts to enhance shareholder value, the timing of the proposal is not opportune. The Chief Executive Officer referred to a number of matters affecting the Company's operations and capital requirements as disclosed in the Company's recent 10K filing including the ongoing store-remodeling program. The filing Group believes Management has done an exemplary job managing the Company in a competitive environment. This was evidenced by the recent earnings report showing significant improvement in Fiscal 2000 LIFO-adjusted earnings. While the filing group believes the stock is significantly undervalued and steps should be taken to improve shareholder value, the group is also deferential to Management's judgement given recent operating improvement. Accordingly, the Group will adhere to Management's request to withdraw the proposal. The Dinger Group has informed Management that it intends to resubmit the proposal for the 2002 annual shareholders meeting if the stock price does not improve substantially and reflect more normal industry multiples.
