(b) On June 29, 2018, Tricia Patrick resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Burlington Stores, Inc. (the “Company”). Ms. Patrick served as a Class III member of the Board (which class will stand for re-election at the 2019 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders) and as member of the Company’s Audit Committee. Ms. Patrick’s decision was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

(d) Effective as of June 29, 2018, the Board elected Laura J. Sen as a Class III member of the Board, filling the vacancy created by Ms. Patrick’s departure. Ms. Sen was elected to serve as a member of the Audit Committee.

Ms. Sen will participate in the standard independent, non-management director compensation arrangements for fiscal 2018 described in the proxy statement for the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders under the caption entitled “Director Compensation.” There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Sen and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Sen was selected as a director. There are no transactions in which Ms. Sen has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
