Dear Fellow Shareholder:

On May 12, 2016, we filed our proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Five Below, Inc. (the “Proxy Statement”) and we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability containing instructions on how to access the Proxy Statement and our annual report online and how to vote online, to the holders of record and beneficial owners of our common stock as of the close of business on the record date.

We have revised and refiled our Proxy Statement, available on our web site at http://investor.fivebelow.com/sec.cfm. The revisions relate to proposals 3 (Approval of the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan) and 4 (Approval of the Company’s Performance Bonus Plan), and include attaching the plans as appendices to the Proxy Statement and making certain other technical corrections, including disclosing the number of persons who may be eligible to receive compensatory awards under the two plans. All shareholders who receive printed copies of the proxy materials in the mail after May 20, 2016 are receiving the revised version.

If you have already voted, you do not need to vote again unless you would like to change or revoke your prior vote on any proposal. If you would like to change or revoke your prior vote on any proposal, please refer to the Proxy Statement for instructions on how to do so.

If you have not yet voted, please do so as soon as possible either by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form, or vote via the Internet or telephone according to the instructions indicated on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form.

Sincerely,

Thomas Vellios

Executive Chairman
