AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Dollar General (DG)

Dollar General names Donny Lau CFO effective Oct. 20, succeeding Kelly Dilts

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Dollar General said CFO Kelly Dilts will leave on August 28, 2025, and its board appointed Donny Lau, a former Dollar General finance executive, as executive vice president and chief financial officer effective October 20, 2025. CEO Todd Vasos will serve as principal financial officer in the interim without additional compensation, so the company will not have a dedicated CFO until Lau starts.

Key points

  • Dilts departs August 28, 2025; Lau starts as CFO October 20, 2025
  • Vasos, the CEO, assumes principal financial officer duties in the interim
  • Lau's base salary is $800,000, with a 75% target bonus and a $900,000 cash signing bonus
  • Lau's equity awards have estimated values of $2.5 million each, one regular and one special inducement
