This policy authorizes Mr. Dreiling to approve a related party transaction in which he is
not involved if the total amount is less than $1 million and if the Board is informed of
transactions approved in this manner. In addition, the following transactions are deemed
automatically pre-approved and require no further Board approval or reporting to the Board:
• Transactions involving a related party that is an entity or involving another company
with a relationship to a related party if the total amount does not exceed the greater of
$1 million or 2% of that company’ s total annual consolidated revenues (total
consolidated assets in the case of a lender) and no related party who is an individual
participates in the actual provision of services or goods to, or negotiations with, us on
the other company’ s behalf or receives special compensation as a result.
• Charitable contributions if the total amount does not exceed 2% of the entity’ s total
annual receipts and no related party who is an individual participates in the grant
decision or receives any special compensation or benefit as a result.
• Transactions where the interest arises solely from share ownership in Dollar General
and all of our shareholders receive the same benefit on a pro rata basis.
• Transactions where the rates or charges are determined by competitive bid.
• Transactions for services as a common or contract carrier or public utility at rates or
charges fixed in conformity with law or governmental authority.
• Transactions involving services as a bank depositary of funds, transfer agent,
registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar services.
• Compensatory transactions available on a nondiscriminatory basis to all salaried
employees generally, or ordinary course business travel and expenses and
reimbursements.
The policy prohibits the related party from participating in any discussion or approval of
the transaction and requires the related party to provide to the Board all material information
concerning the transaction. None of the requirements in the policy supersede or replace any
separate procedures and requirements in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or other
relevant policy.
