Forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, the benefits of the Acquisition, including future financial and operating results and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, growth strategies and culture and other statements that are not historical facts.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, current macroeconomic conditions, including prolonged inflationary pressures, potential changes to international trade relations, geopolitical conflicts and adverse changes in consumer disposable income; supply chain constraints, delays and disruptions; fluctuations in product costs and availability due to tariffs, currency exchange rate fluctuations, fuel price uncertainty and labor shortages; changes in consumer demand for products in certain categories and consumer lifestyle changes; intense competition in the sporting goods industry; the overall success of DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s strategic plans and initiatives; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s vertical brand strategy and plans; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s ability to optimize their respective distribution and fulfillment networks to efficiently deliver merchandise to their stores and the possibility of disruptions; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s dependence on suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers to provide sufficient quantities of quality products in a timely fashion; the potential impacts of unauthorized use or disclosure of sensitive or confidential customer, employee, vendor or other information; the risk of problems with DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s information systems, including e-commerce platforms; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s ability to attract and retain customers, executive officers and employees; increasing labor costs; the effects of the performance of professional sports teams within DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s core regions of operations; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s ability to control expenses and manage inventory shrink; the seasonality of certain categories of DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s operations and weather-related risks; changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, treaties, interpretations and other guidance; product safety and labeling concerns; the projected range of capital expenditures of DICK’S, Foot Locker and the combined company, including costs associated with new store development, relocations and remodels and investments in technology; plans to return capital to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases, if any; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s ability to meet market expectations; the influence of DICK’S’ Class B common stockholders and associated possible scrutiny and public pressure; compliance and litigation risks; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s ability to protect their respective intellectual property rights or respond to claims of infringement by third parties; the availability of adequate capital; obligations and other provisions related to DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s indebtedness; DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial condition; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the Acquisition; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against DICK’S or Foot Locker, including with respect to the Acquisition; the possibility that the Acquisition does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory or shareholder approvals or other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Acquisition); the risk that the benefits from the Acquisition, including anticipated cost synergies, may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of DICK’S and Foot Locker following the closing of the Acquisition; the dilution caused by the issuance of shares of DICK’S common stock in the Acquisition; the possibility that the Acquisition may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; the terms of the debt financing incurred in connection with the Acquisition; reputational risk and potential adverse reactions of DICK’S’ or Foot Locker’s customers, employees or other business partners; and the diversion of DICK’S’ and Foot Locker’s management’s attention and time from ongoing business operations and opportunities due to the Acquisition. These factors are not necessarily all of the factors that could cause DICK’S’, Foot Locker’s or the combined company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of the forward-looking statements.

DICK’S Sporting Goods Announces

PITTSBURGH, June 23, 2025 - DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (“DICK’S”) (NYSE: DKS), a leading U.S. based full-line omni-channel sporting goods retailer, today announced that, in connection with the previously announced offer to eligible holders to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all outstanding notes issued by Foot Locker, Inc. (“Foot Locker”) as set forth in the table below (the “Foot Locker Notes”) for (1) up to $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes 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 to the indenture governing the Foot Locker Notes (the “Proposed Amendments”), as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 20, 2025 (the “Early Participation Date”), according to Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent for the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the following principal amount of Foot Locker Notes have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (and consents thereby validly given and not validly revoked):
Title of Foot Locker Notes /
CUSIP / ISIN No.

$369,381,000
92.35%
As of the Early Participation Date, DICK’S, on behalf of Foot Locker, has received the requisite number of consents to adopt the Proposed Amendments to the Foot Locker Notes. On June 20, 2025, Foot Locker entered into a supplemental indenture with the guarantors party thereto and the trustee for the Foot Locker Notes (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to effect the Proposed Amendments, which, among other changes, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain affirmative covenants and certain events of default. Upon its execution, the Supplemental Indenture became effective and constitutes a binding agreement between Foot Locker, the guarantors party thereto and the trustee for the Foot Locker Notes. However, the Proposed Amendments will not become operative until (i) immediately prior to the consummation of the closing of the merger of a subsidiary of DICK’S with and into Foot Locker, with Foot Locker surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of DICK’S (the “Acquisition”) or (ii) immediately upon the settlement of the Exchange Offer, depending on the specific amendment, and will cease to be operative if the Acquisition is not consummated. 
As a result of the consents validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Participation Date, the consent payment for the Foot Locker Notes will be approximately $2.71 per $1,000 in principal amount of Foot Locker Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (the “Consent Payment”).

Revocation rights for the Consent Solicitation expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 20, 2025. Withdrawal rights for the Exchange Offer expire as of the Expiration Date (as defined herein).
DICK’S further announced that it has extended the offer to eligible holders who validly tender their Foot Locker Notes after the Early Participation Date but before the Expiration Date to receive the early participation premium of $30.00 in principal amount of DICK’S Notes for each $1,000 in principal amount of Foot Locker Notes tendered, for a total consideration of $1,000 in principal amount of DICK’S Notes for each $1,000 in principal amount of Foot Locker Notes tendered. Eligible holders who did not validly tender their Foot Locker Notes before the 5:00 p.m., New York City time, deadline on the Early Participation Date will not be eligible to receive the Consent Payment.
The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement dated June 6, 2025 (the “Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement”). The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are conditioned upon, among other things, the closing of the Acquisition, which condition may not be waived by DICK’S. The closing of the Acquisition is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Exchange Offer or Consent Solicitation.
DICK’S, in its sole discretion, may modify or terminate the Exchange Offer and may extend the Expiration Date and/or the settlement date with respect to the Exchange Offer, subject to applicable law. Any such modification, termination or extension by DICK’S will automatically modify, terminate or extend the Consent Solicitation, as applicable.
The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 1, 2025, unless extended (the “Expiration Date”). The settlement date will be promptly after the Expiration Date and is expected to be within two business days after the Expiration Date. Documents relating to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation will be distributed only to eligible holders of Foot Locker Notes who certify that they are either (a) a person that is in the “United States” and that it is a “Qualified Institutional Buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); or (b) a person that is outside of the “United States” and that (i) is not a “U.S. Person,” (ii) is not an “EEA Retail Investor” or “UK Retail Investor,” and (iii) in the case of persons located in the United Kingdom, is a “Relevant Person” (as defined in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement). The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, a copy of which may be obtained by contacting Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the exchange agent and information agent in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, at (855) 654-2015 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers) or Contact@gbsc-usa.com. The eligibility form is available electronically at: https://gbsc-usa.com/eligibility/dicks.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Introduction
 
On May 15, 2025, DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “DICK’S”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, RJS Sub LLC, a New York limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Foot Locker, Inc., a New York corporation (“Foot Locker”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, and at the closing of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Foot Locker, with Foot Locker surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information, of the Securities Act.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is presented as if the transaction had occurred on May 3, 2025, and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 and the year ended February 1, 2025 and, are presented to give effect to the Merger as if it occurred on February 3, 2024.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the accounting for the Merger (the “Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and financing impacts (the “Financing Adjustments” and, collectively, the “Adjustments”).  All terms defined in this section of the Offering Memorandum are used solely for the purposes of this section and do not apply to any other section of this Offering Memorandum.
 
In the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the historical consolidated financial statements of DICK’S and Foot Locker have been adjusted to depict the accounting for the Merger in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances.  All adjustments are preliminary and subject to change.
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Foot Locker common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than cancelled shares and converted shares) will be automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, at the election of the holder of such share of Foot Locker common stock: (a) $24.00 per share in cash or (b) 0.1168 shares of DICK’S common stock.  The election is not subject to a minimum or maximum amount of cash consideration or stock consideration.  The election period will be a period of not less than twenty (20) business days ending on the date that is five (5) business days prior to DICK’S’ good faith estimate of the closing date of the Merger unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
 
 The Merger Agreement provides that:
 

Each outstanding Foot Locker time-based restricted stock unit held by an employee and each outstanding performance stock unit will be converted based on the stock consideration into a DICK’S time-based restricted stock unit (with any applicable performance goals being deemed achieved at levels determined under the applicable award agreement or plan if not addressed in the award agreement), which will otherwise continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to such award;
 

Each outstanding Foot Locker restricted stock unit (including any deferred units) held by a non-employee director will become fully vested (to the extent unvested) and converted into cash based on the cash consideration; and
 

Each outstanding in-the-money option, whether or not vested, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Foot Locker common stock subject to such option multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the cash consideration over the exercise price of such option (with any Foot Locker option that is not an in-the-money option cancelled for no consideration).
 

In connection with the Merger Agreement, DICK’S entered into a commitment letter, dated as of May 15, 2025, among DICK’S and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“GS Bank”), pursuant to which GS Bank has agreed to provide, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, up to $2.4 billion of senior bridge term loans.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that DICK’S does not anticipate drawing down on the senior bridge term loans but instead financing the Merger through issuance of unsecured senior notes for an amount of $1.7 billion with a fixed interest rate of 6.4% per annum (“Debt Financing”).  The Debt Financing, together with cash on hand, is assumed to be sufficient for purposes of financing the cash consideration and expenses in connection with the Merger.
 
DICK’S has not issued any unsecured senior notes or drawn down on the senior bridge term loans, and any financing related to the Merger may be different from the amount assumed for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.  These assumptions and expectations are subject to change, and the debt issuance costs to be incurred and related interest expense could vary significantly from what is assumed in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.  Other factors that are subject to change include, but are not limited to, the timing of borrowings, the amount of cash on hand at the time of the closing, and inputs to interest rate determination on debt instruments issued.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented under the following two scenarios:
 

Scenario A - Cash Consideration: Assumes all Foot Locker shareholders elect the right to receive the consideration of $24.00 per share in cash.
 

Scenario B - Stock Consideration: Assumes all Foot Locker shareholders elect the right to receive 0.1168 shares of DICK’S common stock.
 
The Merger will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with DICK’S assumed to be the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, the consideration transferred will be allocated to Foot Locker’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed mostly based upon their estimated fair values at the closing date.  Any differences between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill.  The process of valuing the net assets of Foot Locker at the closing date, the allocation of the consideration transferred, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary and represents DICK’S’ current best estimate and is subject to revision.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the combined company’s actual results of operations or financial position would have been had the Merger been completed on the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the combined company’s future results of operations or financial position for any future period.  The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated.  It is likely that the actual adjustments upon the completion of the Merger will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the differences may be material.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Merger, which includes adjustments for the following:
 

Certain reclassifications to conform Foot Locker’s historical financial statement presentation to DICK’S historical financial statement presentation;
 

Adjustments to reflect purchase accounting under ASC 805;
 

Proceeds and uses of the financing entered in connection with the Merger; and
 

Non-recurring transaction costs in connection with the Merger.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Note 1.
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, Pro Forma Financial Information, of the Securities Act. The historical information of DICK’S and Foot Locker is presented in accordance with GAAP.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the business combination accounting guidance under ASC 805, with DICK’S as the accounting acquirer for the Merger.  Under ASC 805, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at the Merger date fair value.  Transaction costs associated with a business combination are expensed as incurred.  The excess of consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill.  Accordingly, the Merger consideration allocation and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented as follows:
 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of May 3, 2025, was prepared based on (i) the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of DICK’S as of May 3, 2025 and (ii) the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Foot Locker as of May 3, 2025.
 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 was prepared based on (i) the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of DICK’S for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025 and (ii) the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Foot Locker for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2025.
 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended February 1, 2025 was prepared based on (i) the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of DICK’S for the year ended February 1, 2025 and (ii) the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of Foot Locker for the year ended February 1, 2025.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies, or cost savings that may result from the integration costs that may be incurred.  The pro forma adjustments represent DICK’S’ best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that DICK’S believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and may not be indicative of the operating results that would have occurred if the Merger had been completed as of the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results of DICK’S following the Merger.  In determining the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Foot Locker, DICK’S used publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions.  The pro forma purchase price allocation relating to the Merger is preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.  There can be no assurances that the valuations will not result in material changes to this purchase price allocation.  Any increase or decrease in fair values of the net assets as compared with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amount of the total acquisition consideration allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations due to adjustments in the depreciation and amortization expense of the adjusted assets.

Note 2.
Accounting Policies and Reclassifications
 
During the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, management performed a preliminary review of Foot Locker’s financial information to identify differences in accounting policies compared to those of DICK’S and differences in financial statement presentation compared to the presentation of DICK’S.  At the time of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, other than the adjustments described herein, DICK’S is not aware of any other material differences.  However, DICK’S will continue to perform its detailed review of Foot Locker’s accounting policies.  Upon completion of that review, differences may be identified between the accounting policies of DICK’S and Foot Locker that when conformed could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets of Foot Locker and the allocation of the estimated Merger consideration to these identifiable assets and liabilities is preliminary and is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses.  The final purchase price allocation will be determined when DICK’S has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations.  The final Merger consideration allocation may be materially different than that reflected in the preliminary estimated Merger consideration allocation presented herein.  Any increase or decrease in fair values of the net assets as compared with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the allocation of total Merger consideration to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company statement of operations due to adjustments in the depreciation and amortization of the adjusted assets.

Goodwill represents the excess of the preliminary estimated Merger consideration over the estimated fair value of the underlying net assets acquired.  Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review.  Goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce of Foot Locker, planned growth in new markets, and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of DICK’S and Foot Locker.  Goodwill recognized in the Merger is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

(3B) Reflects the preliminary estimated fair value adjustment to property and equipment acquired in the Merger.  The fair value of property and equipment is subject to change.

(3E) Reflects a $2.0 million decrease to Cash against the decrease in Long-term debt and obligations under finance leases related to the payment made to noteholders for the bond fee associated with the exchange of the Foot Locker Notes; a $3.7 million increase to Long-term debt and obligations under finance leases against the increase in goodwill related to the reversal of outstanding deferred financing cost balance of the Foot Locker Notes’; and a $4.2 million decrease to Other assets against the increase in Goodwill related to the reversal of outstanding deferred financing cost balance of Foot Locker’s revolving credit facility.

(3F) Reflects the elimination of Foot Locker’s historical equity.

(3G) Reflects the cash payment for the severance benefits total $22.6 million including severance pay and the acceleration of replaced awards by executives.

(3K) Reflects a preliminary purchase accounting adjustment of $72.0 million to record favorable contractual lease balance when compared to market terms.

(3L1) Represents a $34.6 million adjustment to deferred tax liabilities under Scenario A primarily as a result of the pro forma adjustments for assets acquired and liabilities assumed—specifically, relative to fair market value adjustments to assets and an adjustment to the acquired deferred tax liability for Goodwill which resets as a result of the Merger.  These estimates are preliminary as adjustments to our deferred taxes could change due to further refinement of our statutory income tax rates used to measure our deferred taxes, changes in judgment regarding realizability of assets, and changes in the estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that may occur in conjunction with the closing of the Merger.  These changes in estimates could be material.

(3L2) Represents a $17.4 million adjustment to deferred tax assets under Scenario B primarily as a result of the pro forma adjustments for assets acquired and liabilities assumed—specifically, relative to fair market value adjustments to assets and an adjustment to the acquired deferred tax liability for goodwill which resets as a result of the Merger.  These estimates are preliminary as adjustments to our deferred taxes could change due to further refinement of our statutory income tax rates used to measure our deferred taxes, changes in judgment regarding realizability of assets, and changes in the estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that may occur in conjunction with the closing of the Merger.  These changes in estimates could be material.
