DELHAIZE GROUP SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE 2009 DIVIDEND

BRUSSELS, Belgium, May 27, 2010 - Delhaize Group (Euronext Brussels: DELB, NYSE: DEG), the Belgian international food retailer, announced today that during its Ordinary General Meeting its shareholders have approved the annual accounts for fiscal year 2009 and the distribution of a EUR 1.60 gross dividend per share. After deduction of a 25% withholding tax, this results in a net dividend of EUR 1.20 per share.

The 2009 dividend will become payable to owners of ordinary shares against coupon no. 48. The Delhaize Group shares will start trading ex-coupon on May 31, 2010 (opening of the market). The record date (i.e. the date at which shareholders are entitled to the dividend) is June 2, 2010 (closing of the market) and the dividend will be payable as from June 3, 2010. The ADR dividend record date is June 2, 2010 and the payment of the dividend to Delhaize Group’s ADR holders will be made through Citibank beginning on June 8, 2010.

During the General Meeting, Delhaize Group’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Pierre-Olivier Beckers, confirmed the earlier-announced earnings guidance for the full year 2010.

The shareholders approved the renewal of the director’s mandates of Count Richard Goblet d’Alviella for a period of three years, of Mr. Robert J. Murray for a period of two years, and of Mr. Jack L. Stahl for a period of four years. The shareholders acknowledged that Mr. Jack L. Stahl satisfies the requirements for independence under the Belgian Company Code, and appointed him as independent Director thereunder.

The speeches and presentations, the minutes of the Meeting and the results of the votes will be made available on the Delhaize Group website (www.delhaizegroup.com) in the coming days.
