Explanatory Note

The following information amends and supplements the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (the “Company”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2024, furnished to stockholders of the Company in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held virtually at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on May 22, 2024, and at any adjournment or postponement of the meeting.

The section titled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” on pages 46 – 48 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following information to add an entity that beneficially owns more than 5 percent of our common stock and was inadvertently omitted from the Proxy Statement due to administrative error.


Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information known to us regarding the ownership of our common stock as of March 25, 2024 by:

•each person or entity that beneficially owns more than 5 percent of our common stock;
•each member of our Board;
•each of our executive officers named in the "Summary Compensation Table" included in the Executive Compensation section of this Proxy Statement; and
•all directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage of ownership held by that person, shares of common stock subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days after March 25, 2024 are deemed outstanding, while these shares are not deemed outstanding for computing percentage ownership of any other person. The address of each beneficial owner for which an address is not otherwise indicated is: c/o Advance Auto Parts, Inc., 4200 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the table, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable. We know of no agreements among our stockholders which relate to voting or investment power over our common stock or any arrangement that may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

The percentages of common stock beneficially owned are based on 59,609,471 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 25, 2024 plus shares that may be issued or acquired within 60 days of March 25, 2024 through the exercise of vested stock awards.
