ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
(e) On March 25, 2025, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the grant of long-term performance unit awards (the “Long-Term Awards”) to executive officers and certain other employees of the Company effective on April 3, 2025 (the “Grant Date”). The purpose of the Long-Term Awards is to create additional alignment between executive compensation and Company financial performance, ensure continued focus on key organizational initiatives and encourage retention of senior leaders. The Long-Term Awards are governed by, and were granted pursuant to, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and the related performance unit award agreement (the “Award Agreement”).
The Long-Term Awards will vest on April 3, 2028 if, and only if, pre-established performance goals are achieved during the fiscal years 2025 and 2026 (the “Performance Period”). The total number of shares that may be deemed earned after the end of the Performance Period will be based on the attainment of metrics relating to total sales, adjusted earnings before taxes, external merchandise margin percent, and eCommerce sales growth. For a recipient to earn and receive his or her Long-Term Award, the recipient also must remain an employee of the Company on the vesting date, except in certain specified circumstances set forth in the Award Agreement.
The target value of the Long-Term Awards granted to the Company’s named executive officers in the Company’s most recently-filed proxy statement on May 2, 2024, are as follows (with potential payout ranging from 0 - 200% of the target value based on the metrics set forth above):
| Executive Officer | Title | Target Value* | ||||||||||||
| Edward W. Stack | Executive Chairman | $5,000,000 | ||||||||||||
| Lauren R. Hobart | President & Chief Executive Officer | $3,500,000 | ||||||||||||
| Navdeep Gupta | Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer | $1,500,000 | ||||||||||||
| Raymond A. Sliva | Executive Vice President – Stores | $1,250,000 | ||||||||||||
| Vlad Rak | Executive Vice President – Chief Technology Officer | $1,250,000 | ||||||||||||
* The actual target number of performance units to be granted will be determined based on the closing price per share of the Company's common stock on the Grant Date.
The foregoing description of the Long-Term Awards does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2012 Plan and the Award Agreement, copies of which are filed hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
