ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.


The information set forth in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.



ITEM 5.02

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.


On various dates beginning in July 2007, certain employees, including certain of the named executive officers, of Dollar General Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Management Stockholder’s Agreements (each, a “Management Stockholder’s Agreement”) with the Company and Buck Holdings, L.P., a significant shareholder of the Company (“Buck Holdings”).  Among other terms and conditions, the Management Stockholder’s Agreements generally imposed restrictions on the transfer of shares of Company common stock held by such persons pursuant to the Management Stockholder’s Agreement for a period of approximately five years from a date on or about the date of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement (the “Transfer Restrictions”).  Many of the Transfer Restrictions expired pursuant to the terms of the Management Stockholder’s Agreements for certain of our named executive officers in July 2012.  


On February 1, 2013, Buck Holdings waived all Transfer Restrictions for persons who remained within the 5-year restriction period, including those pertaining to Mr. Todd Vasos, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Merchandising Officer (the “Waiver”).  Mr. Vasos’ Transfer Restrictions had been scheduled to expire in December 2013. All other terms, conditions and provisions of the Management Stockholder’s Agreements, including Mr. Vasos’ Management Stockholder’s Agreement, remain in effect and unchanged by the Waiver.  


The foregoing summary of the Waiver is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Waiver that is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and incorporated by reference herein.
