Dollar General Corporation Announces Change in Location of 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; Meeting to Be Held Virtually

Dollar General Corporation (NYSE: DG) today gives notice that its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. CT (the “Meeting”) will be conducted solely through virtual means due to continuing concerns regarding the health and safety of its shareholders, employees, directors, and other guests arising from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, shareholders can participate via live webcast as detailed below but will not be able to physically attend the Meeting. The Company anticipates resuming physical, in-person annual meetings of shareholders in 2021 unless unusual circumstances again warrant a virtual-only meeting.

Virtual Meeting Attendance and Participation

Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date for the Meeting, and their proxy holders and “street name” holders that hold a legal proxy, broker’s proxy card or voting instruction form provided by their bank, broker or nominee, may attend and participate in the Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DG2020 (the “Annual Meeting Website”) and entering the 16-digit control number found on the proxy card, voting instruction form, or notice of internet availability previously provided. Online access to the Meeting will begin at 8:45 a.m. CT. Any updates will be posted on the investor relations section of www.dollargeneral.com under “News & Events” and then “Events & Presentations”. Technical support will be available beginning 15 minutes prior to the start of the Meeting to assist shareholders as needed.

Shareholders may vote and submit questions during the Meeting by following the instructions and rules of conduct which will be available on or through the Annual Meeting Website on the day of the Meeting. Shareholders may submit questions in two ways. If they wish to submit a question before the Meeting, then beginning on May 13, 2020 until the Meeting, they may log into www.proxyvote.com and enter their 16-digit control number. Once past the login screen, click on “Question for Management,” type in the question, and click “Submit.” Alternatively, shareholders will be able to submit questions live during the Meeting by accessing the Meeting via the Annual Meeting Website, using their 16-digit control number, typing the question into the “Ask a Question” field and clicking “Submit.” During the Meeting the Company intends to answer questions that are pertinent to the Company and the Meeting matters, subject to time constraints, and may group and answer together questions that are substantially similar to avoid repetition. Questions that are not answered during the Meeting will be addressed as outlined in the rules of conduct for the Meeting that will be posted on the Annual Meeting Website.
