On June 21, 2007, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Lemuel E. Lewis, as a Class III director, and Dr. Carl P. Zeithaml, as a Class II director, in each case effective as of July 1, 2007.

He is a retired executive with Landmark Communications, serving most recently as Chief Financial Officer. He has an extensive background in finance, human resources, mergers and acquisitions, and unit operations. Mr. Lewis is expected to serve on the Audit Committee at Dollar Tree.
Dr. Zeithaml is the Dean of McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia. He specializes in the field of strategic management with an emphasis on global and competitive strategy. He has an extensive resume and educational experience. Dr. Zeithaml is expected to serve on the Compensation Committee at Dollar Tree.
Neither director has any family relationships, related party transactions, or other arrangements between the director and the Company. Each director will receive an annual retainer of $80,000 for his service on the Board. Mr. Lewis will receive an additional $4,000 per year for service on the Audit Committee while Dr. Zeithaml will receive an additional $2,000 per year for service on the Compensation Committee.
