This Amendment No. 1 to the joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Big Lots, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Issuer”), filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) on March 15, 2022 (such joint statement, as amended herein, the “Schedule 13D”), amends the Schedule 13D as follows:

1.	Item 6 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended by replacing the first two paragraphs and the first table with the following:

The table below lists the standard American-style, exchange-traded put options (“Put Options”) purchased and sold by the Fund during the Reporting Period that are outstanding as of June 1, 2022. Each of the below listed transactions was conducted in the ordinary course of business on the open market for cash, and the purchase and sale prices do not reflect brokerage commissions paid.


CUSIP No. 089302103				Page 6 of 8 Pages


Date of Purchase/Sale	Value per Underlying Share at which Put Options were Purchased/Sold ($)		Shares Underlying Put Options (100s)			Put Options’ Strike Price per Share ($)		Put Options’ Expiration Date
04/04/2022	$	4.3457		(135	)	$	35.00		07/15/2022
05/27/2022	$	3.6458		(2,460	)	$	25.00		10/21/2022
05/27/2022	$	4.6578		(898	)	$	25.00		01/20/2023
05/31/2022	$	4.3975		(4,325	)	$	25.00		10/21/2022
05/31/2022	$	5.2766		(625	)	$	25.00		01/20/2023
06/01/2022	$	3.8879		(3,356	)	$	22.50		10/21/2022
06/01/2022	$	4.9852		(1,614	)	$	25.00		10/21/2022
06/01/2022	$	4.8954		(50	)	$	22.50		01/20/2023

Each of these Put Options gives the purchaser the right (but not the obligation) to sell to the other party, on or before the option’s expiration date, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the option, at a sale price per share equal to the option’s strike price per share. If a Put Option is exercised on or before its expiration date, the party that sold the option must purchase the underlying shares of Common Stock in exchange for the option’s aggregate exercise price.

2.	Item 6 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended by replacing the second table with the following:


Date of Sale	Value per Underlying Share at which Call Options were Sold ($)		Shares Underlying Call Options (100s)		Call Options’ Strike Price per Share ($)		Call Options’ Expiration Date
