EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A updates information originally provided under Item 5.07 in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Burlington Stores, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 24, 2014 (the "Original Form 8-K"). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on July 18, 2014 (the "Annual Meeting"). The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, the Company's stockholders approved by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, on an advisory basis, the holding of an advisory, non-binding vote to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers ("Say-on-Pay vote") annually. In light of this vote, the Company's Board of Directors has determined that the Company will hold a Say-on-Pay vote every year until the next required vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes is held at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2020, or until the Board of Directors otherwise determines that a different frequency for holding such Say-on-Pay votes is in the best interests of the Company's stockholders.
