To Our Valued Business Partners,

• We have made the difficult decision to begin conducting going out of business sales at all remaining Big Lots store locations.
• As a result, we are no longer purchasing goods, except for those deemed essential to support the wind down of the business.
• We are reaching out to providers of those essential goods and services directly, and are otherwise discontinuing any orders for goods and services.
• As we conduct store closing sales, we are continuing to serve our customers in-store and online.
• If you have provided goods or services to our stores and wish to file a proof of claim, proof of claim forms and other information about the claims process are available at https://cases.ra.kroll.com/BigLots.
• Without question, this is a very difficult day for our organization, our customers, and important partners like you. However, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your partnership over the years – your support is truly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Big Lots
