Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As previously disclosed, on September 9, 2024 (the “Petition Date”), Big Lots, Inc. (“Big Lots” or the “Company”) and its other subsidiaries (together with Big Lots, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Petitions”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Court has granted a motion seeking joint administration of the cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under the caption In re: Big Lots, Inc., et al., Case No. 24-11967 (JKS).

On October 31, 2024, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court its monthly operating report for the period ended September 28, 2024 (the “September Monthly Operating Report”). On November 29, 2024, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court its monthly operating report for the period ended November 2, 2024 (the “October Monthly Operating Report” and, together with the September Monthly Operating Report, the “Monthly Operating Reports”). The September Monthly Operating Report and the October Monthly Operating Report are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively. The Monthly Operating Reports and other filings with the Bankruptcy Court related to the Chapter 11 Cases are available on a website administrated by the Company’s claims agent, Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC, at https://cases.ra.kroll.com/biglots, by calling toll-free at [phone] (or [phone] for calls originating outside of the U.S. or Canada), or by sending an email to [e-mail].

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. By furnishing the information disclosed in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, the Company is making no admission as to the materiality of the information disclosed in this Item 7.01 or Exhibit 99.1 or Exhibit 99.2.

Cautionary Note Regarding the Company’s Common Shares

The Company cautions that trading in its securities (including, without limitation, the Company’s common shares) during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company’s securities in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that holders of the Company’s common shares will experience a complete loss on their investment.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Reports

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Reports, which were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Reports are limited in scope, cover a limited time period and have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Reports were not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, are in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules and are subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Reports are complete. The Monthly Operating Reports also contain information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the periods that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Reports should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

The Company does not intend to file a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended November 2, 2024 or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Annual Reports on Form 10-K for subsequent periods. Following the closing of the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to affiliates of Nexus Capital, and until the Company’s common shares have been deregistered, the Company will instead file Current Reports on Form 8-K (1) disclosing material events in the Chapter 11 Cases and other information required by Form 8-K and (2) containing as exhibits the monthly operating reports filed by the Company with the Bankruptcy Court.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forwarding-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibits hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

---

Forward-looking statements are predictions based on our current expectations and our projections about future events, and are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our business strategy, among other things, including anticipated trends and developments in, and management plans for, our business and the markets in which we operate. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words, such as “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “forecast,” “foresee,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “goal,” “target,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “predict,” and “continue,” the negative or plural of these words and other comparable terminology.

All forward-looking statements included in this Form 8-K are based upon information available to us as of the filing date of this Form 8-K, and we undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. These factors include the matters discussed in “Part I – Item 1A – Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the other factors discussed from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and the additional factors set forth below. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under these sections.

A wide range of factors relating to the Chapter 11 Cases could materially affect future developments and performance, including but not limited to:

•our ability to continue as a going concern;

•our ability to successfully consummate the planned sale of the business pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to any potential acquirer through an auction process in Chapter 11 and if consummated, to obtain an adequate price;

•our ability to successfully complete a reorganization under Chapter 11 and emerge from bankruptcy;

•the effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on us and on the interests of various constituents;

•bankruptcy court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases in general;

•the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Cases;

•risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases;

•the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on our liquidity and results of operations;

•increased legal and other professional costs necessary to execute our reorganization;

•the conditions to which our debtor-in-possession financing is subject, and the risk that these conditions may not be satisfied for various reasons, including for reasons outside of our control;

•the consequences of the acceleration of our debt obligations;

•employee attrition and our ability to retain senior management and key personnel due to the distractions and uncertainties, including our ability to provide adequate compensation and benefits during the Chapter 11 Cases;

•our ability to comply with the restrictions imposed by our debtor-in-possession credit agreements;

•the likely cancellation of our common shares in the Chapter 11 Cases;

•the potential material adverse effect of claims that are not discharged in the Chapter 11 Cases;

•the diversion of management’s attention as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases; and

---

•volatility of our financial results as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Debtors are authorized to continue to manage and operate their businesses as debtors in possession under sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On September 10, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 95] authorizing the joint administration of these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. On September 23, 2024, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee pursuant to section 1102(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 248]. Additional information about these Chapter 11 Cases, court filings, and claims information is available at the Debtors’ restructuring website: https://cases.ra.kroll.com/biglots. Accounting Principles: This Monthly Operating Report (“MOR”) is unaudited and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the Debtors’ obligations to provide monthly operating reports during these Chapter 11 Cases. This MOR is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and does not include all information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The MOR is not intended to reconcile to any financial statement otherwise prepared or distributed by the Debtors. The Debtors have prepared this MOR using the best information presently available to them at this time, which has been collected, maintained, and prepared in accordance Case 24-11967-JKS Doc 725-1 Filed 10/31/24 Page 2 of 14

In re: Big Lots, Inc., et al. Case No. (Jointly Administered): 24-11967 (JKS) Reporting Period: September 9, 2024 – September 28, 2024 3 with their historical accounting practices. This MOR is, thus, true and accurate to the best of the Debtors’ knowledge, information and belief based on current available data. The MOR should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial condition, events, or performance of any of the Debtors or their affiliates, as the results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other period or for the full year, and may not necessarily reflect the combined results of operations, financial position, and schedule of receipts and disbursements in the future. General Methodology: The Debtors prepared this MOR relying primarily upon the information set forth in their books and records. Additionally, the information furnished in this report includes primarily normal recurring adjustments, but does not include all the adjustments necessary to ensure that the quarterly and/or annual consolidated financial statements are in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including income tax accruals that would typically be made. Furthermore, the monthly financial information contained herein has not been subjected to the same level of accounting review and testing that the Debtors apply in the preparation of their quarterly and annual consolidated financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because the Debtors’ accounting systems, policies, and practices were developed to produce financial statements at a consolidated level, rather than financial statements by legal entity, it is possible that not all assets, liabilities, income or expenses have been recorded on the correct entity. Accordingly, upon the application of such procedures, the Debtors believe that the financial information may be subject to change, and these changes could be material. Reporting Period: This is the first MOR filed since the Petition Date and includes cash activity in MOR-1 from September 9, 2024 through September 28, 2024. In preparing this MOR, the Debtors made best efforts to supplement the information set forth in their books and records with additional information concerning transactions that may not have been identified therein. Accuracy: The financial information disclosed herein was not prepared in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other applicable non-bankruptcy law or in lieu of complying with any periodic reporting requirements thereunder. Persons and entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling, or transferring the claims against or equity interests in the Debtors should evaluate this financial information in light of the purposes for which it was prepared. The Debtors and their advisors are not liable for and undertake no responsibility to indicate variations from security laws herein or for any evaluations of the Debtors based on this financial information or any other information. Carrying Value of Assets: Unless otherwise noted, this MOR reflects the carrying values of the assets as recorded on the Debtors’ books and records as of the end of the fiscal period and is not based upon an estimate of their current market value. The Debtors reserve their right to amend or adjust the value of each asset set forth herein. Prepetition Liabilities Subject to Compromise: As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the payment of certain prepetition indebtedness may be subject to compromise or other treatment under a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-Chapter 11 liabilities are stayed. However, the Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Debtors to pay certain prepetition claims subject to certain terms and conditions. Past Performance: The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected from any other period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Debtors in the future. For the reasons discussed above, the Debtors caution readers not to place undue reliance upon information contained in this MOR. Reservation of Rights: The Debtors hereby reserve all of their rights to dispute the validity, status, enforceability, or executory nature of any claim amount, representation or other statement in this MOR and reserve the right to amend or supplement this MOR, if necessary. Nothing contained in this MOR shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ rights or an admission with respect to their Chapter 11 Cases. In future periods, any changes to prior period balances will be reflected in the current month’s MOR. Case 24-11967-JKS Doc 725-1 Filed 10/31/24 Page 3 of 14

In re: Big Lots, Inc., et al. Case No. (Jointly Administered): 24-11967 (JKS) Reporting Period: September 9, 2024 – September 28, 2024 4 Notes to Supporting Documentation Notes to MOR-1 Cash is received and disbursed by the Debtors as described in the Motion of Debtors for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing (A) Debtors to Continue to Maintain Existing Cash Management System, Bank Accounts, and Business Forms, (B) Debtors to Open and Close Bank Accounts, and (C) Financial Institutions to Administer the Bank Accounts and Honor and Process Related Checks and Transfers, (II) Waiving Deposit and Investment Requirements, and (III) Allowing Intercompany Transactions and Affording Administrative Expense Priority to Post-Petition Intercompany Claims [Docket No. 15] (the “Cash Management Motion”) and is consistent with the Debtors’ historical cash management practices. Debtor Big Lots Stores, LLC remits payments on behalf of other Debtor entities for certain expenses. The Debtors have made reasonable efforts to appropriate these expenses to their respective Debtors for purposes of MOR-1 and Form MOR-11 Part 1. Cash activity related to intercompany transfers among the Debtors are excluded from cash receipts and disbursements. As more fully described in the Debtors’ Cash Management Motion, the Debtors elected to enter a Dominion Period prior to the Petition Date. Transfers conducted in accordance with the Dominion Period requirements are included in the Debtors’ cash receipts and disbursements in this MOR. Figures include cash as reported in the Debtors’ bank statements. Reconciliation differences exist between bank statement balances and balance sheet cash balances due to ordinary course timing differences between payment execution in the Debtors’ financial system and disbursement of funds from Debtor bank accounts, as well as outstanding checks and deposits in transit. The Debtors’ standard practice is to ensure that bank reconciliations are completed before closing the books each reporting period. Notes to UST Form 11-MOR, Part 1 Cash Receipts and Disbursements: Consistent with the guidance received from the U.S. Trustee in connection with the completion of UST Form 11-MOR Part 1, Cash Receipts and Disbursements, reported cash receipts and disbursements should exclude intercompany, debtor-to- debtor, transactions. As a result, for those Debtors with net intercompany cash outflows or inflows during the reporting period, the ending cash balances reported on Form 11-MOR Part 1 will not agree with the ending cash balances per the Debtors’ bank statements or the Debtors’ books and records. For additional information on ending cash balances per the Debtors’ books and records, see the attached Summary of Cash Receipts and Disbursements. Notes to UST Form 11-MOR, Part 6 Postpetition Taxes: The Debtors’ books and records are typically maintained on a consolidated basis. The Debtors’ reasonably accessible records do not include information with respect to the Debtor entity liable for the postpetition tax obligations. Consequently, information on postpetition tax obligations is included in this MOR under Debtor Big Lots Stores, LLC. The Debtors reserve their rights with respect to the Debtor entities ultimately liable for tax obligations. Notes to UST Form 11-MOR, Part 7 Questionnaire, item (a): Following the Petition Date, the Bankruptcy Court entered various orders authorizing the Debtors to, among other things, pay certain prepetition: (i) services, fees, and charges assessed by the Debtors’ bank; (ii) customer programs obligations; (iii) employee wages, salaries, and related items (including, but not limited to, employee benefit programs and supplemental workforce obligations); (iv) insurance program obligations; (v) taxes and assessments; and (vi) critical vendor, 503(b)(9), lien, and foreign vendor obligations (collectively, the “First Day Orders”).

The Debtors are authorized to continue to manage and operate their businesses as debtors in possession under sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On September 10, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order [Docket No. 95] authorizing the joint administration of these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure. On September 23, 2024, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee pursuant to section 1102(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code [Docket No. 248]. Additional information about these Chapter 11 Cases, court filings, and claims information is available at the Debtors’ restructuring website: https://cases.ra.kroll.com/biglots. Accounting Principles: This Monthly Operating Report (“MOR”) is unaudited and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the Debtors’ obligations to provide monthly operating reports during these Chapter 11 Cases. This MOR is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and does not include all information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The MOR is not intended to reconcile to any financial statement otherwise prepared or distributed by the Debtors. The Debtors have prepared this MOR using the best information presently available to them at this time, which has been collected, maintained, and prepared in accordance Case 24-11967-JKS Doc 1265-1 Filed 11/29/24 Page 2 of 14

In re: Big Lots, Inc., et al. Case No. (Jointly Administered): 24-11967 (JKS) Reporting Period: September 29, 2024 – November 2, 2024 3 with their historical accounting practices. This MOR is, thus, true and accurate to the best of the Debtors’ knowledge, information and belief based on current available data. The MOR should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial condition, events, or performance of any of the Debtors or their affiliates, as the results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other period or for the full year, and may not necessarily reflect the combined results of operations, financial position, and schedule of receipts and disbursements in the future. General Methodology: The Debtors prepared this MOR relying primarily upon the information set forth in their books and records. Additionally, the information furnished in this report includes primarily normal recurring adjustments, but does not include all the adjustments necessary to ensure that the quarterly and/or annual consolidated financial statements are in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including income tax accruals that would typically be made. Furthermore, the monthly financial information contained herein has not been subjected to the same level of accounting review and testing that the Debtors apply in the preparation of their quarterly and annual consolidated financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because the Debtors’ accounting systems, policies, and practices were developed to produce financial statements at a consolidated level, rather than financial statements by legal entity, it is possible that not all assets, liabilities, income or expenses have been recorded on the correct entity. Accordingly, upon the application of such procedures, the Debtors believe that the financial information may be subject to change, and these changes could be material. Reporting Period: This is the second MOR filed since the Petition Date and includes cash activity in MOR-1 from September 29, 2024 through November 2, 2024, the Debtors’ fiscal reporting period. In preparing this MOR, the Debtors made best efforts to supplement the information set forth in their books and records with additional information concerning transactions that may not have been identified therein. Accuracy: The financial information disclosed herein was not prepared in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other applicable non-bankruptcy law or in lieu of complying with any periodic reporting requirements thereunder. Persons and entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling, or transferring the claims against or equity interests in the Debtors should evaluate this financial information in light of the purposes for which it was prepared. The Debtors and their advisors are not liable for and undertake no responsibility to indicate variations from security laws herein or for any evaluations of the Debtors based on this financial information or any other information. Carrying Value of Assets: Unless otherwise noted, this MOR reflects the carrying values of the assets as recorded on the Debtors’ books and records as of the end of the fiscal period and is not based upon an estimate of their current market value. The Debtors reserve their right to amend or adjust the value of each asset set forth herein. Prepetition Liabilities Subject to Compromise: As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the payment of certain prepetition indebtedness may be subject to compromise or other treatment under a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-Chapter 11 liabilities are stayed. However, the Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Debtors to pay certain prepetition claims subject to certain terms and conditions. Past Performance: The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected from any other period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Debtors in the future. For the reasons discussed above, the Debtors caution readers not to place undue reliance upon information contained in this MOR. Reservation of Rights: The Debtors hereby reserve all of their rights to dispute the validity, status, enforceability, or executory nature of any claim amount, representation or other statement in this MOR and reserve the right to amend or supplement this MOR, if necessary. Nothing contained in this MOR shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ rights or an admission with respect to their Chapter 11 Cases. In future periods, any changes to prior period balances will be reflected in the current month’s MOR. Case 24-11967-JKS Doc 1265-1 Filed 11/29/24 Page 3 of 14

In re: Big Lots, Inc., et al. Case No. (Jointly Administered): 24-11967 (JKS) Reporting Period: September 29, 2024 – November 2, 2024 4 Notes to Supporting Documentation Notes to MOR-1 Cash is received and disbursed by the Debtors as described in the Motion of Debtors for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing (A) Debtors to Continue to Maintain Existing Cash Management System, Bank Accounts, and Business Forms, (B) Debtors to Open and Close Bank Accounts, and (C) Financial Institutions to Administer the Bank Accounts and Honor and Process Related Checks and Transfers, (II) Waiving Deposit and Investment Requirements, and (III) Allowing Intercompany Transactions and Affording Administrative Expense Priority to Post-Petition Intercompany Claims [Docket No. 15] (the “Cash Management Motion”) and is consistent with the Debtors’ historical cash management practices. Debtor Big Lots Stores, LLC remits payments on behalf of other Debtor entities for certain expenses. The Debtors have made reasonable efforts to appropriate these expenses to their respective Debtors for purposes of MOR-1 and Form MOR-11 Part 1. Cash activity related to intercompany transfers among the Debtors are excluded from cash receipts and disbursements. As more fully described in the Debtors’ Cash Management Motion, the Debtors elected to enter a Dominion Period prior to the Petition Date. Transfers conducted in accordance with the Dominion Period requirements are included in the Debtors’ cash receipts and disbursements in this MOR. Figures include cash as reported in the Debtors’ bank statements. Reconciliation differences exist between bank statement balances and balance sheet cash balances due to ordinary course timing differences between payment execution in the Debtors’ financial system and disbursement of funds from Debtor bank accounts, as well as outstanding checks and deposits in transit. The Debtors’ standard practice is to ensure that bank reconciliations are completed before closing the books each reporting period. Notes to UST Form 11-MOR, Part 1 Cash Receipts and Disbursements: Consistent with the guidance received from the U.S. Trustee in connection with the completion of UST Form 11-MOR Part 1, Cash Receipts and Disbursements, reported cash receipts and disbursements should exclude intercompany, debtor-to- debtor, transactions. As a result, for those Debtors with net intercompany cash outflows or inflows during the reporting period, the ending cash balances reported on Form 11-MOR Part 1 will not agree with the ending cash balances per the Debtors’ bank statements or the Debtors’ books and records. For additional information on ending cash balances per the Debtors’ books and records, see the attached Summary of Cash Receipts and Disbursements. Notes to UST Form 11-MOR, Part 3 Assets Sold or Transferred: The Debtors have included information regarding the sale of certain real property leases and furniture, fixtures & equipment (“FF&E”). FF&E sales for the period of September 9, 2024 to September 28, 2024 were inadvertently omitted from the Debtors’ previously filed monthly operating reports, and therefore have been included in these current monthly operating reports. These sales were completed in conjunction with the Debtors’ overall process to close certain store locations. Notes to UST Form 11-MOR, Part 6 Postpetition Taxes: The Debtors’ books and records are typically maintained on a consolidated basis. The Debtors’ reasonably accessible records do not include information with respect to the Debtor entity liable for postpetition tax obligations. Consequently, information on postpetition tax obligations is included in this MOR under Debtor Big Lots Stores, LLC. The Debtors reserve their rights with respect to the Debtor entities ultimately liable for tax obligations. Case 24-11967-JKS Doc 1265-1 Filed 11/29/24 Page 4 of 14

In re: Big Lots, Inc., et al. Case No. (Jointly Administered): 24-11967 (JKS) Reporting Period: September 29, 2024 – November 2, 2024 5 Notes to UST Form 11-MOR, Part 7 Questionnaire, item (a): Following the Petition Date, the Bankruptcy Court entered various orders authorizing the Debtors to, among other things, pay certain prepetition: (i) services, fees, and charges assessed by the Debtors’ bank; (ii) customer programs obligations; (iii) employee wages, salaries, and related items (including, but not limited to, employee benefit programs and supplemental workforce obligations); (iv) insurance program obligations; (v) taxes and assessments; and (vi) critical vendor, 503(b)(9), lien, and foreign vendor obligations (collectively, the “First Day Orders”). To the extent any payments were made during the reporting period on account of prepetition claims pursuant to authority granted to the Debtors by the Bankruptcy Court by the First Day Orders, such payments have been included in this MOR (subject to the notes and limitations provided herein).
