Dollar General&rsquo;s employee productivity and retention. A healthy workforce has been associated with higher employee
productivity, reduced absenteeism and reduced presenteeism (equivalent to working while &ldquo;under the weather&rdquo;). It is also
linked to talent management efficiencies, retention, and attraction.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>1,</SUP></font><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>

costs are estimated at $1,695 annually per employee and presenteeism holds an additional annual productivity cost estimated at $300
per employee.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>3</SUP></FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Dollar General employees may be more vulnerable to employee health
deficiencies and concerns than employees of other retailers. Dollar General stores are primarily within states that are ranked as having

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The above calculation focuses on a single person and their possible
health costs. If a family needs to be covered by Dollar General&rsquo;s insurance and then reaches its out-of-pocket maximum, total possible
annual cost rises to $37,768. Even with Dollar General insurance, health costs would far surpass the annual income of the great majority
of its employees.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The average total household savings of those employees who make less
than $34,600 per year is $2,566, for those that make less than $59,500 it is $6,505.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>13</SUP></FONT>
It is reasonable to assume that a significant majority of Dollar General&rsquo;s employees cannot afford to access medical care when it
is most needed, even with insurance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Assessing employee sufficiency of access to timely, quality healthcare
is a reasonable ask</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 7pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Dollar General&rsquo;s statement in opposition to this proposal speaks
of the importance to its employees of the company providing benefits, and to the effort it has put into providing them, but it does not
claim that its employees have access to timely or sufficient health care. The Company simply concludes that the &ldquo;incumbent health
plan&rsquo;s broad medical network continues to be a good fit for our current footprint.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company also notes how essential employee feedback on their benefit
offerings is, stating that its benefit offerings are &ldquo;critical&rdquo; to the Company remaining an employer of choice. It then speaks
to the multiple forums in place that allow it to collect employee feedback, including communication boards, engagement surveys, and an
anonymous phone line. However, in direct contradiction to the suggested ease of obtaining employee feedback, Dollar General also states
that surveying employees on the sufficiency of their health care access would require substantial resources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Providing quality, affordable healthcare could help retain employees</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 7pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Turnover is expensive for a company due to direct recruiting, hiring,
onboarding, and training costs. The average cost of replacing an employee has been estimated at $1,500<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>14</SUP></FONT>
to $4,000<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>15</SUP></FONT> per employee. High turnover
also has soft costs since it is disruptive to team dynamics and employee morale. In a Comparably survey with 4,409 Dollar General employees
participating, the Company was ranked in the bottom 10% of over 1,300 companies for its retention score.<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>16</SUP></FONT>
Mercer estimates that companies are able to reduce turnover by 11% if they foster a &ldquo;culture of health.&rdquo;<FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 11pt"><SUP>17</SUP></FONT>
Given Dollar General&rsquo;s approximately 185,800 employees, the Company could save ten of millions of dollars by reducing its employee
turnover.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">CONCLUSIONConducting a survey on the sufficiency of employees&rsquo;
access to timely, affordable, quality healthcare, and identifying a strategy to ameliorate insufficiencies identified, could improve Dollar
General&rsquo;s employee satisfaction and retention.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Proponents offered to withdraw this resolution should Dollar General
survey its employees to determine if they have sufficient access to timely and quality medical care, but an agreement was not reached.</P>
