Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
As previously disclosed, on August 2, 2026, GameStop Corp. (the “Company”) entered into (i) privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “2030 Notes Exchange Agreements”) with a limited number of existing holders (the “2030 Existing Noteholders”) of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), and (ii) privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “2032 Notes Exchange Agreements” and, together with the 2030 Notes Exchange Agreements, the “Exchange Agreements”) with a limited number of existing holders (the “2032 Existing Noteholders” and, together with the 2030 Existing Noteholders, the “Existing Noteholders”) of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), in each case relating to the exchange (the “Exchange”) of such 2030 Notes and 2032 Notes held by the Existing Noteholders for shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, the Company agreed to exchange approximately (i) $400 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2030 Notes, and (ii) $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2032 Notes (collectively, the “Exchange Notes”) held by the Existing Noteholders.
On August 31, 2026, the Company entered into amendments to each of the Exchange Agreements (the “Amendments”). As originally structured, the Exchange was to be settled entirely in shares of Common Stock, with the number of shares based in part on the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock over a 35 trading day reference period that began on August 3, 2026 (the “Reference Period”). As amended, the remainder of the Reference Period is terminated. Consideration attributable to the elapsed portion of the Reference Period will still be settled in shares, and the remaining consideration will be settled in cash, in an amount based on trading prices on the last trading day prior to the Amendments. In total, the Existing Noteholders will receive in the aggregate approximately 55.5 million shares of Common Stock (approximately 73% of the consideration attributable to the Exchange Agreements, as amended by the Amendments) and approximately $358.4 million in cash (approximately 27%).
The closing of the exchange is expected to occur on or about September 3, 2026, subject to satisfaction of the customary closing conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreements.
