Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in connection with the share repurchase from Buck Holdings, L.P. described in Item 8.01 below, on October 9, 2012, Dollar General Corporation (the “Company”) entered into (1) a second amendment to the credit agreement (the “Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement”) among the Company, CitiCorp North America, Inc. as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other agents and lenders party thereto and (2) a first amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement” and, together with the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the “Amendments to the Credit Agreements”) among the Company, certain subsidiary borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other agents and lenders party thereto. The Amendments to the Credit Agreements modify the terms of the Company’s existing credit agreements by adding additional capacity for the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares of its capital stock for cash consideration not to exceed $250,000,000. The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Amendments to the Credit Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copies of the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (an affiliate of CitiCorp North America, Inc.), Goldman, Sachs & Co. and KKR Capital Markets LLC (an affiliate of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P.) acted as underwriters in connection with the secondary offering described in Item 8.01 below. Affiliates of each of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (among other entities) acted as joint lead arrangers for the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and Goldman, Sachs & Co., through their investment in Buck Holdings, L.P., are significant shareholders of the Company.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 10, 2012, the underwriters in the previously announced secondary offering completed their purchase of an additional 5,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from Buck Holdings, L.P.

As part of its previously announced share repurchase program, on October 11, 2012, the Company purchased 4,929,508 shares of Common Stock from Buck Holdings, L.P. for $50.715 per share, which represents the price to the public in the secondary offering less underwriting discounts and commissions. The total purchase price for the repurchased shares was approximately $250 million. In connection with the closing of the share repurchase, Buck Holdings, L.P. reimbursed the Company for approximately $1.7 million in lender fees incurred in obtaining the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement described above. The share repurchase from Buck Holdings, L.P. was funded with $250 million in borrowings under the Company’s senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility.

(c) neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of this Second Amendment nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) contravene any applicable provision of any material law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Liens created under the Credit Documents or Liens subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to, the terms of any Contractual Requirement to which such Credit Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound other than (A) any such breach,

(e) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3. Amendment Effectiveness . The effectiveness of this Second Amendment shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have received from (i) the Borrower and each other Credit Party and (ii) the Required Lenders, a duly executed and delivered counterpart of this Second Amendment signed on behalf of each such party;

The date on which such conditions have been satisfied (or waived) is referred to herein as the “ Second Amendment Effective Date .”

The Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, so long as the Second Amendment Effective Date occurs, it shall pay to each Lender that has consented to this Second Amendment and has executed and delivered a counterpart thereof to the Administrative Agent (or its designee) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the

Second Amendment Effective Date, a fee equal to 0.10% of the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans outstanding on the Second Amendment Effective Date.

SECTION 5. Reaffirmation . Each Reaffirming Party (a) hereby confirms its guaranty of the Obligations pursuant to the Credit Agreement and (b) hereby confirms its respective pledges and grants of security interests, as applicable, in each case, under and subject to the terms of each of the Security Documents to which it is party, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Second Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, any such guaranty, pledges and grants of security interests, and the terms of each of the Security Documents to which it is a party, shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall secure and guarantee, among other things, all obligations under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6. Effect of Amendment . On and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, each reference to the Credit Agreement in any Credit Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Second Amendment.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Second Amendment by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
