Proxy
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
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 2015, 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) Ms. Price filed
1 late Form 4 to report 1 open market purchase of shares of Dollar General common stock; and (2) as
a result of an administrative oversight, Mr. Vasos filed 1 late Form 4 to correct the number of shares of
Dollar General common stock underlying an RSU and stock option grant and the number of securities
beneficially owned after such transaction, which were previously incorrectly reported on a timely-filed
Form 4.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
FOR 2017 ANNUAL MEETING
To be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials relating to the 2017 annual meeting of
shareholders, eligible shareholders must submit proposals that comply with relevant SEC regulations for
our receipt by December 9, 2016. To introduce other new business at the 2017 annual meeting, you
must deliver written notice to us no earlier than the close of business on January 25, 2017 and no later
than the close of business on February 24, 2017, and comply with the advance notice provisions of our
Bylaws. If we do not receive a properly submitted shareholder proposal by February 24, 2017, then the
proxies held by our management may provide the discretion to vote against such shareholder proposal
even though the proposal is not discussed in our proxy materials sent in connection with the 2017
annual meeting of shareholders.
Shareholder proposals should be mailed to Corporate Secretary, Dollar General Corporation,
100 Mission Ridge, Goodlettsville, Tennessee 37072. Shareholder proposals that are not included in our
proxy materials will not be considered at any annual meeting of shareholders unless such proposals
have complied with the requirements of our Bylaws.
