Albertsons wants Kroger to pay more than $9.3 billion. That includes a $600 million termination fee and more than $8 billion for what Albertsons says was a lost premium stockholders would have reaped from the deal.
Lawyers for Albertsons made the demand Monday in court, where a two-week trial is slated later this month in a legal fight over who is to blame for the failure of the $24.6 billion deal.
McDonald’s said the AI-enhanced pricing tool has been used for more than a decade. It determines prices based on store sales, location and competitors’ prices.
The Justice Department cleared the deal. But a federal judge paused it after an antitrust lawsuit was brought by 12 Democratic state attorneys general.
The settlement, which involves several retailers, comes nearly two years after a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana accusing Elanco of monopolizing the market in violation of the federal Sherman Act and state antitrust lawsuits.
The federal government alleged the company’s practices allowed chicken, pork and turkey processors to inflate prices they charged restaurants, grocery stores and other buyers who were not allowed access to Agri Stats’ data.
In the emergency temporary restraining order, the judge noted the merger would make Nexstar the owner of two or even three of the “Big Four” local affiliates in at least 30 local television markets — including Indianapolis.

The investigation is looking into whether the National Football League has engaged in anticompetitive practices, amid growing frustration from fans over the league’s increasing shift toward airing games on subscription TV services,
Atium “Bakyne” Coly, who started at right tackle for the Boilermakers the last two seasons, sued the NCAA after the association denied his request to play one more season.
DirecTV said in a press release the merger would create a triopoly in Indianapolis, affecting more than 1.2 million “TV homes.”
The Justice Department reached a settlement with Live Nation last week to open up some ticketing and promotional markets to more competition, but 30 states are still pursuing the case.
Live Nation wants the exhibits disqualified from the trial, saying the messages reflect “off-the-cuff banter, not policy” between two personal friends who do not work together.
The Justice Department announcement was immediately met with strong criticism from multiple states.
The case accused Live Nation of using threats, retaliation and other tactics to “suffocate the competition” by controlling virtually every aspect of the industry, from concert promotion to ticketing.
The trial stems from a lawsuit filed in 2024 that alleged the companies have dominated the industry by suffocating competitors and controlling everything from concert promotion to ticketing.
The largest U.S. venue owner and ticket seller faces claims by the U.S. Justice Department and more than three dozen states that it is illegally monopolizing the live music industry and should be forced to shed its Ticketmaster unit.
The case is moving far too slow for U.S. District Judge Kenneth Bell’s liking and he’s repeatedly asked both 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, as well as NASCAR, to speed it up.
