Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) At the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”) of Dollar Tree, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 10, 2021, the Company’s shareholders, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company, approved and adopted the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan replaces and supersedes the Dollar Tree, Inc. 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, except that all outstanding awards that were granted under the prior plan continue to be governed under the terms and conditions of the prior plan and applicable award agreements. A copy of the Plan is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

A description of the material terms and conditions of the Plan was previously reported under the heading “Summary of the Plan” in Proposal No. 4 on pages 109-116 of the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting filed on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2021 (the “Proxy Statement”). The description of the Plan set forth in the Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

In connection with the approval of the Plan by shareholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved certain forms of award agreements to be used in connection with the Plan. Copies of the forms of award agreements are attached to this report as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Board of Directors of the Company also approved an amendment to Section 1.3 of the Company’s 2013 Director Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective December 31, 2016, to revise the definition of “Omnibus Incentive Plan” to include the Plan as a successor to the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which expired as to new awards in March 2021. A copy of the 2013 Director Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated effective June 10, 2021, is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.6 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to Article III, Section 2 of the Company’s By-Laws to reduce the size of the Board from thirteen directors to eleven directors, effective immediately prior to the convening of the 2021 Annual Meeting on June 10, 2021. The reduction in the size of the Board was approved in connection with the retirements of Thomas A. Saunders III and Carl P. Zeithaml from service on the Board at the Annual Meeting.

In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s By-Laws, effective June 10, 2021, to add a new Article X which provides, among other things, that, unless the Company otherwise consents in writing, the federal and state courts in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall be the sole and exclusive forum for certain actions or proceedings, including (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims, (iii) any action asserting claims arising under the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, (v) any action or proceeding regarding indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of expenses arising out of the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws or otherwise, (vi) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (vii) any action asserting one or more “internal corporate claims,” as that term is defined in subsection C of Section 13.1-624 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law. Article X of the By-Laws further provides that, unless the Company otherwise consents in writing, the United States federal district courts shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933.


The foregoing descriptions of the amendments to the Company’s By-Laws are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of such amendments set forth in the Company’s amended By-Laws, effective June 10, 2021, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
