An investor group led by Cerberus Capital Management agreed on Thursday to buy a number of grocery chains from Supervalu, including Albertsons, for about $3.3 billion.

The Cerberus-led group will also buy up to 30 percent of Supervalu itself, paying $4 a share in a tender offer. That represents a 50 percent premium to the grocery chain operator’s 30-day average closing price and nearly 32 percent higher than Wednesday’s closing price.

At a minimum, the investor consortium will own at least 19.9 percent of Supervalu.

Joining Cerberus in the bid are Kimco Realty, Klaff Realty, Lubert-Adler Partners and the Schottenstein Real Estate Group.

Separately, Supervalu said that it had secured a $900 million credit facility from Wells Fargo and a $1.5 billion loan from a group of banks led by Goldman Sachs.

Supervalu was advised by Goldman Sachs, Greenhill & Company and the law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. Cerberus was advised by Lazard, Barclays and the law firm Schulte Roth & Zabel.
