Does Dollar General have an audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee?
Yes. Our Board has designated Mr. Rickard and Ms. Cochran as audit committee financial
experts and has determined that each is independent as defined in NYSE listing standards and in our
Corporate Governance Guidelines. Such experts have the same responsibilities as the other Audit
Committee members. They are not our auditors or accountants, do not perform ‘‘field work’’ and are
not employees. The SEC has determined that designation as an audit committee financial expert will
not cause a person to be deemed to be an ‘‘expert’’ for any purpose.
