Does Dollar General have an audit committee financial expert serving on its Audit Committee?
Yes. Our Board has designated each of Mr. Rickard, Ms. Cochran and Ms. Price as an audit
committee financial expert 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.
