99 Cents Only Stores LLC (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Transition Report filed on Form 10-K on April 22, 2014 (the “Transition Report”). The Summary Compensation Table that was included in the Transition Report did not include bonus compensation for the 2014 fiscal year because the amounts of such bonuses were not determined and calculable at the time the Transition Report was filed.

On August 25, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company authorized and approved the payment of cash bonuses for the 2014 fiscal year to the Company’s named executive officers. The table below reflects the amounts of the fiscal 2014 bonus payments, the total fiscal 2014 compensation as reported in the Transition Report and the total recalculated compensation, including bonus payments approved for the Company’s named executive officers, for fiscal year 2014.
