Mitchell, Jr., who will assume the role of Dollar Tree鈥檚 Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary on Aug. 11, 2025. Mr. Leiken will remain with the Company until Aug. 22, 2025 to support Mr. Mitchell in the transition.

鈥淲e are incredibly grateful for Jon Leiken鈥檚 contributions during a pivotal period for our company,鈥� said Mike Creedon, Chief Executive Officer of Dollar Tree. 鈥淗e brought deep expertise, sound judgment, and a sharp understanding of the regulatory landscape 鈥� all of which were invaluable in guiding our business forward. We thank him for his service and wish him continued success.鈥�

鈥淪ucceeding Jon Leiken as General Counsel is John Mitchell, a seasoned legal leader who joined Dollar Tree in 2021 as Senior Deputy General Counsel after previously serving as a partner at the law firm of Williams Mullen,鈥� said Mr. Creedon. 鈥淛ohn is a highly respected attorney whose sharp legal acumen and steady leadership have guided us through moments of significant change,鈥� said Mr. Creedon. 鈥淗e understands our business, our people, and the importance of protecting and advancing our mission.
