Safe Harbor Statement CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING PRO FORMA INFORMATION: The following presentation provides certain pro forma information regarding the impact of Rite Aid’s proposed sale of stores and assets to Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. on Rite Aid’s results of operations and capital structure. The pro forma information is for illustrative purposes only, was prepared by management in response to investor inquiries and is based upon a number of assumptions. Additional items that may require adjustments to the pro forma information may be identified and could result in material changes to the information contained herein. The information in this presentation is not necessarily indicative of what actual financial results of Rite Aid would have been had the sale occurred on the dates or for the periods indicated, nor does it purport to project the financial results of Rite Aid for any future periods or as of any date. Such pro forma information has not been prepared in conformity with Regulation S-X.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The following presentation includes a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. Rite Aid defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding the impact of income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, LIFO adjustments, charges or credits for facility closing and impairment, inventory write-downs related to store closings, debt retirements and other items (including stock-based compensation expense, merger and acquisition-related costs, severance and costs related to distribution center closures, gain or loss on sale of assets and revenue deferrals related to our customer loyalty program). The presentation includes a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Asset Purchase Agreement with WBA WBA has agreed to acquire 2,186 stores and certain distribution assets and inventory from Rite Aid for $5.175 billion on a cash-free, debt-free basis Transaction is subject to usual and customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearance Transaction does not require a shareholder vote With the closing of the asset sale, Rite Aid will have the option to purchase generic drugs that are sourced through an affiliate of WBA at a cost that is substantially equivalent to Walgreens cost for a period of 10 years The HSR filing for this transaction has been made

Strategic Rationale Allows Rite Aid to significantly reduce leverage and provides flexibility to invest in the business More diversified business model „{ Reduces exposure to reimbursement rate pressure by virtue of reducing relative size of retail pharmacy business „{ Higher percentage of Adjusted EBITDA from higher growth PBM business Strong profile of remaining stores „{ Per store sales & Adjusted EBITDA higher than current chain average „{ Approximately 70% of stores in Wellness or Customer World formats „{ Attractive store base with strong presence in key regions of the country Greater ability to invest in higher growth PBM Participation in Walgreens Boots Alliance Development (¡§WBAD¡¨) agreement provides opportunity to lower drug costs
