DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

On December 12, 2006, Etablissements Delhaize Frères et Cie “Le Lion” (Groupe Delhaize) (the “Registrant”) filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-139274) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register 7,650,000 of the Registrant’s Ordinary Shares without nominal value (“Ordinary Shares”), represented by American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), of which 150,000 were registered for offer and sale under the J.H. Harvey Co., LLC Retirement Plan (the “Harvey Plan”) and 7,500,000 were registered for offer and sale under the Delhaize Group 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Delhaize Group 2002 SIP” and, collectively, with the Harvey Plan, the “Plans”) and, pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, an indeterminate amount of interests in the Harvey Plan (together with the Ordinary Shares, represented by ADSs, the “Securities”).

The Harvey Plan has been amended to eliminate the ability of employees to invest additional employee contributions in a fund containing Ordinary Shares, represented by ADSs, under such Plan. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking of the Registrant contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of post-effective amendment any of the Securities which remain unsold under the Registration Statement, the Registrant hereby deregisters all the Securities registered under the Registration Statement for offer and sale under the Harvey Plan that have not been sold under the Harvey Plan as of the date hereof.
