We will benefit from his leadership and insight as we look to increase our operational efficiency and re-build the business in 2014 and beyond."

Mr. Feray said, "I look forward to working with Joe and the entire RadioShack team on the transformation of this iconic American retailer. I believe my experience at Dollar General is directly applicable to RadioShack and I am delighted to have the opportunity to help the Company accomplish the turnaround plan that is underway."
Prior to joining Dollar General, Feray served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of First American Payment Systems. Before that he spent several years as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Haggar Corporation, the menswear manufacturer and retailer.
