Filed June 24, 2024For Securities:DLTR

Summary

Dollar Tree, Inc. (DLTR) filed an 8-K on June 24, 2024, detailing the results of its Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 20, 2024. The filing indicates overwhelmingly positive shareholder support for the election of all director nominees and the ratification of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024. Additionally, shareholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the company's named executive officers.
