Proxy
How will abstentions and broker non-votes be treated?
Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be treated as shares that are present and entitled
to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present, but will not be counted as votes cast
either in favor of or against a particular proposal.
What are broker non-votes?
Your broker is the record holder of any shares that you hold in street name, but your broker
must vote those shares pursuant to your instructions. If you do not provide instructions, your broker
may exercise discretionary voting power over your shares for ‘‘routine’’ matters but not for
‘‘non-routine’’ items. All matters described in this proxy statement, except for the ratification of the
appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, are considered to be non-routine
matters.
‘‘Broker non-votes’’ occur when shares held of record by a broker are not voted on a matter
because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and
either lacks or declines to exercise the authority to vote the shares in its discretion. To avoid giving
them the effect of negative votes, broker non-votes are disregarded for the purpose of determining the
total number of votes cast with respect to a proposal.
Will my vote be confidential?
Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are
handled in a manner that is intended to protect your voting privacy. Your vote will not be intentionally
disclosed either within Dollar General or to third parties, except (1) as necessary to meet applicable
legal requirements; (2) in a dispute regarding authenticity of proxies and ballots; (3) in the case of a
contested proxy solicitation, if the other party soliciting proxies does not agree to comply with the
confidential voting policy; (4) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote; (5) to
facilitate a successful proxy solicitation; or (6) when a shareholder makes a written comment on the
proxy card or otherwise communicates the vote to management.
