Item 8.01             Other Events

On October 2, 2014, Robert I. Thompson, Executive Vice President, Pharmacy of Rite Aid Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan (the “Plan”) to sell shares of Common Stock already owned by Mr. Thompson for personal financial management purposes.

The Plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 149,231 shares of Common Stock already owned by Mr. Thompson if the Common Stock reaches a specified market price during the period from December 22, 2014 and continuing until all 149,231 shares of Common Stock are sold, or June 19, 2015, whichever occurs first.

The Plan was designed to comply with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which permit persons to enter into a pre-arranged plan for buying or selling Company stock at a time when such person is not in possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company.  Mr. Thompson will continue to be subject to the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, and the sales contemplated by the Plan will not reduce Mr. Thompson’s ownership of Common Stock below the levels required by the guidelines.
