REPORTING COMPLIANCE
The U.S. securities laws require our executive officers, directors, and greater than 10%
shareholders to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC.
Based solely upon a review of these reports furnished to us during and with respect to 2013, or written
representations that no Form 5 reports were required, we believe that each of those persons filed, on a
timely basis, the reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act except that (1) each of
Messrs. Flanigan, Ravener and Vasos filed 1 late Form 4 to report 2, 2 and 1 acquisitions, respectively,
of stock options to purchase shares of Dollar General common stock resulting from accelerated vesting
in connection with an unregistered sale of shares of our common stock by Buck Holdings, L.P.; and
(2) Mr. Jones filed 1 late Form 4 to report an unregistered sale of shares of Dollar General common
stock by Buck Holdings, L.P. Mr. Jones is a managing director of Goldman, Sachs & Co., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (the ‘‘GS Group’’). GSUIG, L.L.C., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of the GS Group, and certain investment partnerships for which Goldman,
Sachs & Co. serves as the investment manager and for which affiliates of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and
the GS Group serve as the general partner, managing limited partner, managing partner or investment
manager, among other members of a private investor group, held the membership interests of Buck
Holdings, LLC, the general partner of Buck Holdings, L.P. Mr. Jones disclaims beneficial ownership of
the shares involved in the transaction except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
