Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation

 

On September 11, 2025 (the “Settlement Date”), DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (“DICK’S” or the “Company”) completed its previously announced offer to eligible holders to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of Foot Locker, Inc.’s (“Foot Locker”) 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Foot Locker Notes”) for (1) up to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 issued by DICK’S (the “DICK’S Notes”) and (2) in certain instances, cash, and the related consent solicitation by Foot Locker (the “Consent Solicitation”) to adopt certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture governing the Foot Locker Notes (the “Foot Locker Indenture”).  The Exchange Offer was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.  In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, DICK’S solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”), on behalf of Foot Locker, to adopt certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture governing the Foot Locker Notes (the “Foot Locker Indenture”).

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the aggregate principal amount of Foot Locker Notes set forth in the table below were validly tendered and subsequently accepted.  Such accepted Foot Locker Notes will be retired and canceled and will not be reissued.  Following such cancellation, the aggregate principal amount of the Foot Locker Notes will remain outstanding.  The Exchange Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on September 9, 2025 and is no longer open to participation by any eligible holders of the Foot Locker Notes.

 

 

Prior to the settlement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, and upon receipt of the requisite number of consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments, Foot Locker entered into a supplemental indenture with the trustee for the Foot Locker Notes.  Certain of the Proposed Amendments became effective immediately prior to the acquisition by DICK’S of Foot Locker, and certain of the Proposed Amendments became operative upon the Settlement Date.

 

In connection with the settlement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, on September 11, 2025, DICK’S issued $381,932,000 aggregate principal amount of DICK’S Notes.  The DICK’S Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of January 14, 2022 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between DICK’S and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 11, 2025 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), by and among DICK’S and the Trustee.  The DICK’S Notes are unsubordinated unsecured obligations of DICK’S, will bear interest at a rate of 4.000% per annum and will mature on October 1, 2029.

 

The foregoing summary of the DICK’S Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of (i) the Base Indenture, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the DICK’S Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 14, 2022; (ii) the Supplemental Indenture attached as Exhibit 4.1 hereto; and (iii) the form of the DICK’S Notes attached as Exhibit 4.2 hereto, the terms of which are in each case incorporated herein by reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On September 11, 2025, in connection with the completion of the Exchange Offer, DICK’S and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as dealer manager, entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the DICK’S Notes (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).  DICK’S agreed under the Registration Rights Agreement to, among other things, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file a registration statement on an appropriate registration form with respect to a registered offer to exchange each series of the DICK’S Notes for new notes, with terms identical to the DICK’S Notes (except that the new notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or any increase in annual interest rate), and (ii) cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act.  DICK’S shall be obligated to pay additional interest on the DICK’S Notes if, among other things, the exchange offer registration statement has not been deemed effective on or prior to September 12, 2026, or the registered exchange offer is not completed by September 12, 2026 and a shelf registration statement is required and has not become effective by the later of (i) September 12, 2026 or (ii) 90 days after delivery of a request by a holder of DICK’S Notes for the filing of a shelf registration statement.

 

The foregoing summary of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement attached as Exhibit 4.3 hereto, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
