ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
On May 16, 2016, Fred’s Inc. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement.”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was recently distributed in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for June 15, 2016. As part of that Proxy Statement, the Company inadvertently omitted a previously adopted and approved amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Fred’s, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which Plan was attached as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement. This Amendment was adopted by the Board of Directors on July 13, 2012 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on that date. The Amendment is a part of, and should be read together with, the Plan. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto.
