(c) This Amendment is filed on behalf of a group consisting of ESL, Limited, Institutional, Acres, Marion and Mr. Lampert. The general partner of ESL is RBS Partners, L.P. (the "General Partner"). The general partner of the General Partner of ESL is ESL Investments, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Investments").

In the aforementioned capacities, ESL, Limited, Institutional, Acres and Marion each may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of AutoZone, Inc. common stock beneficially owned by the other members of the group. In the aforementioned capacities, Mr. Lampert may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of the AutoZone, Inc. common stock beneficially owned by the other members of the group.

The principal business of ESLIM is serving as the investment manager for Limited. The principal business of RBSIM is serving as the investment manager of Institutional.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Item 3 is hereby amended as follows: Mr. Lampert, a director of the Issuer, owns an aggregate of 582 Shares which he received pursuant to the Issuer's director compensation and stock option plans. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 is hereby amended as follows: Because of what the Filing Persons believe to be possible insider conflicts in the Board of Directors' consideration of a certain significant business venture, the Filing Persons believe it may be necessary to evaluate certain of their options with respect to their investment in the Issuer in an attempt to ensure that their perspective on desirable board and management actions is clearly understood, including engaging in further discussions with members of the Board and management. The Filing Persons intend to closely monitor developments at the Company with respect to the matter referred to above. In addition, the Filing Persons intend to evaluate whether to support or seek changes in the composition of the Board of Directors to provide for a greater representation by directors independent of management or changes in the Company's By-Laws or other governing documents (such as the recently adopted shareholder rights plan) that the Filing Persons believe to be in the best interests of all of the Issuer's shareholders. The Filing Persons may also communicate with other shareholders to share and elicit views regarding the corporate governance of the Issuer. The Filing Persons believe that such communications may be necessary to communicate and protect shareholders' interests in light of the Board's decision on March 21, 2000, to (i) adopt a "poison pill" shareholder rights plan and (ii) amend the Issuer's By-Laws to eliminate existing rights of the shareholders to call a special meeting of shareholders or to act by written consent, as well as the Board's consideration of a certain significant business venture described above. Mr. Lampert, in his capacity as a director of the Issuer, voted against approval of the rights plan and the By-Law amendments and communicated his belief as a director that these actions were not in the best interest of the Issuer's public shareholders. Mr. Lampert has also communicated to members of management and other directors that the best interests of the shareholders will be served by the Issuer improving its operating plan and executing on its strategic opportunities. Mr. Lampert believes that the Issuer has the senior operating management and store level employee talent and commitment that, with the appropriate senior leadership, will enable the Issuer to continue as the leader in its industry. Mr. Lampert strongly believes, and has communicated this belief to the other directors, that an extraordinary transaction, involving either a change of control or the issuance of additional equity securities, when the market does not fully reflect the Issuer's potential, would not be in
the best interests of the Issuer's shareholders. The Filing Persons intend to continue to evaluate their alternatives as circumstances develop. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Item 5 is hereby amended as follows: (a) Pursuant to that certain Joint Filing Agreement, entered into by and among the Filing Persons, dated as of April 11, 2000, each of ESL, Limited, Institutional, Acres, Marion and Mr. Lampert may be deemed to beneficially own 21,761,982 Shares (which is approximately 16.27% of the Shares outstanding as of March 17, 2000, as disclosed in the Issuer's 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2000).
