ITEM 5.02                                  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

 

On May 17, 2018, Paula A. Price, a member of the Board of Directors of Dollar General Corporation (the “Company”), informed the Company that she has decided to resign from the Board of Directors and to withdraw as a director nominee for election at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 30, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Meeting”).  Ms. Price’s service on the Company’s Board of Directors will conclude effective as of the 2018 Annual Meeting. Ms. Price is resigning to focus on her other responsibilities. Her resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company.

 

The Board has accepted Ms. Price’s resignation and withdrawal as a director nominee and reduced the size of the Board from ten to eight effective at the time of the Annual Meeting, which also reflects the previously announced retirement of David B. Rickard at the time of the Annual Meeting. Other than Ms. Price, the nominees named in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement dated April 12, 2018 (the “Proxy”) will stand for election at the Annual Meeting. Notwithstanding Ms. Price’s resignation and withdrawal as a director nominee, the form of proxy card included in the original distribution of the Proxy remains valid; however, any votes that are submitted with instructions to vote for all the Board’s nominees will be voted only for the eight remaining nominees as named in the Proxy.
