Dear Sirs,

Reference is made to your note dated May 19, 2003, a copy of which we are filing
together with this letter. In that respect, we point out that on April 30, 2003,
a written  communication  ("oficio")  from a court was  received at Disco S.A.'s
(the "Company")  main offices  addressed to Disco Ahold  International  Holdings
N.V.  which  was  ordered  in case No.  6,047/03,  lawsuit  No.  80,525  "SOTELO
BUENAVENTURA,  Ruben vs. Banco  Montevideo S.A. re/ formal request  at Argentine
Commercial Court No. 8, Secretary No. 15.

In said written communication, the court ordered an attachment of all the shares
in Disco Ahold  International  Holdings  N.V.  held by Velox Retail  Holding and
2,168 shares of Disco Ahold International Holdings N.V.

The Company  informed the Court  through a note dated May 15,  2003 stating that
said  attachment  could not be duly  carried out since,  as was  reported to the
Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and the National  Securities  Commission  ("Comision
Nacional de Valores") on date August 15, 2002 (and published on the Buenos Aires
Stock Exchange Bulletin),  Velox Retail Holding sold to Royal Ahold Group all of
its shares in Disco  Ahold  International  Holdings  N.V.,  as a result of which
Velox  Retil  Holding  ceased  to own any  shares in Disco  Ahold  International
Holdings N.V. from August 2002.  Therefore,  as of the stated date,  Royal Ahold
Group controlled 100% of Disco Ahold International  Holdings N.V. Likewise,  the
Court was duly informed that Disco Ahold International Holdings N.V. established
a domicile in the Argentine Republic for the sole purpose of its registration as
a Disco S.A.  shareholder pursuant to Article 123 of the Argentine Companies Act
(Law No. 19,550).

Finally,  we inform you that Disco S.A. has not  received  any written  judicial
communication ordering an attachment on the shares issued by Disco S.A. owned by
Disco Ahold International Holdings N.V. and Koninklijke Ahold N.V.

Yours truly,

/s/ Lucas Gerardus Baptist de Jong
