the Company’s board.
Mr. Bridgeford, age 61, is a seasoned retail executive, recently
retiring in 2014 after a successful 32-year career with Lowe’s

customer officer in 2012, after serving as executive vice president

welcome Greg to our board of directors. Greg is a proven retail
leader with a long track record of success. At Dollar Tree, our
focus has always been on the customer. We are confident that Greg’s
demonstrated success in merchandising, marketing and strategic
planning roles will be valuable assets to our board as we continue
to grow both our Dollar Tree and Family Dollar businesses.”
Mr. Bridgeford commented, “I am pleased to have the opportunity
to join the Dollar Tree board. I have long-admired the Company’s
disciplined approach to managing and growing its business while
maintaining a fixed price-point at $1.00 per item. The recent
acquisition of Family Dollar diversifies its business model and
supports the Company’s efforts to serve more customers in more
markets. I look forward to contributing to the Dollar Tree board in
its continuing efforts to be the leader in the value retail
sector.”
