This Amendment No. 9 to Schedule TO (this “Amendment”) is filed by Dollar General Corporation, a Tennessee corporation (“Dollar General”), and D3 Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Dollar General (the “Purchaser”), and amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2014 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) by Dollar General and the Purchaser and relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (together with the associated preferred share purchase rights, the “Shares”), of Family Dollar Stores, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Family Dollar”), at $80.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal that accompanies the Offer to Purchase, dated September 10, 2014. This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Dollar General and the Purchaser. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related letter of transmittal, including all schedules thereto, is hereby incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of this Amendment, except as otherwise set forth below.
