This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 1, 2018 (the “Prior Report”) by Fred’s, Inc. (the “Company”) regarding the appointment of Joseph M. Anto as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company. The Prior Report inadvertently omitted a component of Mr. Anto’s initial compensation arrangements. In addition to the other forms of compensation described in the Prior Report, Mr. Anto will receive a $100,000 signing bonus. The Prior Report is otherwise unaffected by this Amendment.
