NASH FINCH POSTPONES EARNINGS RELEASE

 

MINNEAPOLIS (November 18, 2002) — Nash Finch Company (Nasdaq: NAFC), announced today that it has postponed its third quarter, 2002 earnings release and conference call.  The Company further announced that it would not file its Form 10-Q tomorrow November 19, 2002.  The Company will instead file a Form 12b-25 indicating that it will not be filing its Form 10-Q on schedule.

 

The postponement is a result of an internal review concerning the Company’s practices and procedures relating to certain promotional allowances.  The review is focused upon how the Company assesses Count-Recount charges, which is also the subject of a previously announced informal inquiry being conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

                Nash Finch Company is a Fortune 500 company and one of the leading food retail and distribution companies in the United States with over $4.1 billion in annual revenues.  Nash Finch owns and operates 112 stores in the Upper Midwest, principally supermarkets under the AVANZAä, Buy· n· Saveâ, Econofoodsâ, Sun Martâ and Family Thrift Centerä  trade names.  In addition to its retail operations, Nash Finch’s food distribution business serves independent retailers and military commissaries in 28 states, the District of Columbia and Europe.  Further information is available on the company’s website at www.nashfinch.com.
