This additional definitive proxy material is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Big Lots, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at our 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Annual Meeting will be held at our corporate offices located at 300 Phillipi Road, Columbus, Ohio, on May 30, 2013, beginning at 9:00 a.m. EDT.
It has come to the Company’s attention that the number of common shares of the Company reported as outstanding at the record date under the heading “Shareholder Voting Rights” on page [1] of the Proxy Statement that the Company began mailing to our shareholders on April 16, 2013 was incorrect due to a clerical error. At the record date, we had outstanding 58,218,482 common shares, $0.01 par value per share (as opposed to 57,942,982 as reported in the Proxy Statement). We are issuing this additional definitive proxy material to provide the correct information.
Except as described above, this additional definitive proxy material does not modify, amend, supplement or otherwise affect the Proxy Statement.
