REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Plan Participants and the Associate Benefits Committee of Big Lots Savings Plan:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Big Lots Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures, included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Supplemental Information
The supplemental information contained in Schedule H, Line 4i-Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2023, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
/s/ Ary Roepcke Mulchaey, P.C.
We have served as the Plan’s auditor since 2007.

A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following description of the Big Lots Savings Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General - The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all U.S. employees of Big Lots, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) who have completed six months of consecutive service. Eligible employees may begin participation on the first day following satisfaction of eligibility requirements.
The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employee savings and to provide benefits to participants in the Plan upon retirement, death, disability, or termination of employment. The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
Trustee - Fidelity Management Trust Company (the “Trustee”) is the Trustee and Third-Party Administrator of the Plan.
Administration - The Company has established the Associate Benefits Committee that is responsible for the general operation and administration of the Plan. The Company is the Plan sponsor and a fiduciary of the Plan as defined by ERISA. The Trustee provides recordkeeping services to the Plan.
Contributions
Company Matching Contributions - The Company provides a safe harbor matching contribution of 100% on the first three percent and 50% on the next two percent of the participant’s voluntary tax-deferred, after-tax Roth, and catch-up contributions based on the participant’s annual eligible compensation. A participant must complete twelve months of consecutive service to participate in the safe harbor matching contribution.
Company Profit Sharing Contributions - The Company may contribute a profit sharing contribution at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors. No profit sharing contributions were made in 2023 or 2022.
Participant Voluntary Contributions - Participants may elect to make a voluntary tax-deferred or after-tax Roth contribution up to 75% of their annual eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also rollover amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans. Voluntary tax-deferred or after-tax Roth contributions are limited by section 402(g) of the Code to an annual maximum of $22,500 and $20,500 in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Additional contributions of up to $7,500 and $6,500 in 2023 and 2022, respectively, are allowed under the Code for all eligible participants at least age 50 by the end of the respective Plan years.
Participant Accounts - Each participant account is credited with the participant's contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution, and (b) Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The amount of the benefit to which a participant is entitled is the amount of the participant’s vested account.
Fee Income - Revenue sharing and sub transfer agent fees are credited to those participants who have invested in the funds that generate the fee revenue and have an account when the fees are received. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $56,705 and $6,335 of unallocated fee income, respectively.
Administrative Expenses and Fees - Expenses are charged to participant’s accounts, excluding those paid directly by the Company, and have been reported in the financial statements as administrative expenses. Brokerage fees, transfer taxes and other expenses incurred in connection with the investment of the Plan’s assets increase the cost of investments purchased or are deducted from the proceeds of investments sold.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
Investments - Participants may direct the investment of their account balance in 1 percent increments into various investment options offered by the Plan. Effective September 1, 2006, the Plan no longer offers shares of the Company’s common stock as an investment option. Participants were not required to sell existing shares; however, they can no longer purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock within the Plan. If a participant makes no investment election, all contributions made into such participant’s account are invested in the Plan’s qualified default investment alternative (“QDIA”). The Plan’s QDIA is the age-appropriate American Funds Target Date Retirement Fund, which is selected based on the participant’s date of birth.
Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in participant voluntary and rollover contributions, and Company safe harbor matching contribution, plus actual earnings thereon. Company discretionary matching and profit sharing contributions vest based on years of service, which is a calendar year with 1,000 or more hours of service. A participant is 100 percent vested after five years of credited service as follows:
| Years of Service | Vested percentage | |||||||
| Less than 2 | — | |||||||
| At least 2 but less than 3 | 25 | |||||||
| At least 3 but less than 4 | 50 | |||||||
| At least 4 but less than 5 | 75 | |||||||
| 5 or more | 100 | |||||||
The portion of the Company’s discretionary matching contribution and profit sharing contribution that is not fully vested will be forfeited upon termination of employment.
Benefit Payments - The full value of a participant’s account becomes payable upon retirement, disability, or death. Upon termination of employment for any other reason, each participant’s account, to the extent vested, becomes payable. Payments are made in the form of a lump-sum payment. Terminated participants whose vested account balances are greater than $1,000 are permitted to keep their accounts invested in the Plan. Participants based on age are required to take minimum annual distributions in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the code.
Participants whose benefit payments include amounts invested in Company stock may elect to receive such amounts in cash or in whole shares of Company securities and cash for any fractional shares.
A participant, upon reaching age 59 ½, may withdraw up to 100% of the participant’s vested account balance. A participant may also request a hardship distribution due to an immediate and heavy financial need based on the terms of the Plan.
The Company has the right to terminate or amend the Plan at any time. If the Plan is terminated, participants will become fully vested in their accounts and the Plan assets will be distributed to the participants, after payment of any expenses properly chargeable thereto, in proportion to their respective account balances.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
Participant Loans - Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance. One loan per participant may be outstanding at any time, and the loan term may not exceed five years. Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account. Loans bear interest at the Prime rate plus one percent using the rate stated in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the month in which the loan was taken. Loan repayments, including interest, are typically processed through regular payroll deductions. The loan balance may be paid off by the participant at any time without penalty.
Forfeited Accounts - Forfeited nonvested contributions are used to reduce Company matching contributions and pay certain Plan expenses. Company contributions were reduced by $85,000 and $20,000 in 2023 and 2022, respectively, from forfeited nonvested accounts. There were $47,588 and $90,480 of unused forfeitures at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Investments - Investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
See “Note C. Fair Value Measurements” below for discussion of fair value measurements.
Income Recognition - Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation or depreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Contributions - Contributions from Plan participants and matching contributions from the Company are recorded in the year in which the employee contributions are withheld from compensation.
Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments are recorded when paid.
Notes from Participants - Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related loan fees are paid to the Trustee by the fee being deducted from the proceeds of the original loan amount. An allowance for defaulted loans of $392,518 and $394,341 has been recorded for December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, within benefits paid.
Subsequent Events - Management has evaluated all subsequent event transactions and events from January 1, 2024 through June 25, 2024, the date on which these financial statements were available to be issued and have determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - There are no new accounting pronouncements with a future effective date that are of significance, or potential significance to us.

C. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 and the lowest priority to Level 3.
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2, defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for each class of assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Common shares: Valued at the closing price reported on the New York Stock Exchange (Level 1).
Mutual funds: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded (Level 1).
Collective investment trust: Valued at their respective net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such trust. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. This practical expedient would not be used if it is determined to be probable that the Plan will sell the investment for an amount different from the reported NAV. Participant transaction (purchases and sales) may occur daily. The Plan does not have any contractual obligations to further invest in this trust. The investment seeks to maintain principle value, protect against market price volatility, obtain consistent income return, and provide liquidity for benefit payments and withdrawals. The collective investment trust invests primarily in investment contracts issued by insurance companies, banks, and other financial institutions. This investment is not classified within the valuation hierarchy, but presented for reconciliation purposes only.
These methods may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

| Total | $ | 286,838,014 | |||||||||||||||||||||
D. TAX STATUS
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on April 15, 2014, in which the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) stated that the Plan was designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Code. As qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. Although the Plan has been amended since the version that the determination letter applies to, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. The Company expects to take the necessary steps, if any, to bring the Plan's operation into compliance with the Code.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
E. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan provides for the various investment options. Any investment is exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risk. These risks could result in a material effect on participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

F. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Company terminates or partially terminates the Plan, affected participants would become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
G. PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
The Trustee, its subsidiaries or affiliates maintain and manage certain investments of the Plan and provide recordkeeping services for which the Plan pays, unless the Company elects to pay. CBIZ Financial Solutions, Inc. provides fiduciary services for the Plan for which the Plan paid. Certain administrative functions are performed by officers and employees of the Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. In addition, the Plan holds common shares of the Company and makes loans to participants. These transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.
