This Amendment No. 2 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, as amended by Amendment
No. 1 on Schedule 13D with respect to the Common Stock filed by the Reporting Persons on June 1, 2022 (such joint statement, as so amended and as amended herein, the Schedule 13D), further amends the Schedule 13D as
follows:
1. Paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D shall hereby be amended and restated in full as follows:
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a, b) The percentages of beneficial ownership reported in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Persons cover page to this
Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 28,941,890 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 2, 2022, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended July 30, 2022. All of the share numbers reported below, and on each Reporting Persons cover page to this Schedule 13D, are as of October 25, 2022, unless otherwise indicated. Each Reporting Persons cover
page to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5(a, b).
The Fund directly holds,
and thus has sole voting and dispositive power over, 157,351 shares of Common Stock. The GP, as sole general partner of the Fund, also has sole authority to vote (or direct the vote of), and to dispose (or direct the disposal) of, these shares on
behalf of the Fund, and Mr. Lynch has shared authority to vote (or direct the vote of), and to dispose (or direct the disposal) of, these shares on behalf of the GP. Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns 157,351 shares of
Common Stock, or approximately 0.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 157,351 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 0.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(c) No Reporting Person, other than the Fund as set forth in the table below, effected any transaction in shares of the Common
Stock from August 26, 2022 (the date 60 days prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D) to October 25, 2022:

Person is the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
