FL Insider Filing: PSUs Converted to Adjusted RSUs After Merger
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Foot Locker became a wholly owned subsidiary of DICK'S Sporting Goods on September 8, 2025. At the effective time of the merger, unvested performance stock units (PSUs) and time-based restricted stock units (RSUs) of Foot Locker were treated per the Merger Agreement and applicable award terms. The reporting person was deemed to acquire 31,231 shares of Foot Locker common stock underlying unvested PSUs and then reported several dispositions of Foot Locker shares totaling 128,532.349 shares across transactions, leaving certain holdings reported as 125,126.411 and other lines reflecting conversions and indirect 401(k) plan interests. Under the Merger Agreement, each outstanding Issuer share was converted into the right to receive either $24.00 in cash or 0.1168 shares of Parent common stock, and RSUs/PSUs were converted into adjusted RSUs equal to the Issuer units multiplied by 0.1168, with former PSUs no longer subject to performance vesting.

Insights
TL;DR: Merger closed; equity awards and outstanding shares were converted into Parent consideration, altering security ownership and award terms.
The Form 4 documents insider changes triggered by the Merger Agreement effective September 8, 2025. It shows a deemed acquisition of 31,231 shares underlying PSUs at the Effective Time and multiple dispositions and conversions of Foot Locker common stock and awards. Material contract terms disclosed include the cash alternative of $24.00 per Issuer share and the share-exchange ratio of 0.1168 Parent shares per Issuer share. Notably, Issuer PSUs converted into Adjusted RSUs that are no longer performance-based, which changes the economic and vesting profile of formerly performance-contingent compensation. This is a governance and compensation outcome investors should note for executive alignment and award dilution analysis.
TL;DR: Insider reporting reflects conversion mechanics and sizeable share movements tied to the merger consideration.
The transactions are merger-related and primarily mechanical: outstanding equity awards and shares were converted per the Merger Agreement into either cash or Parent stock using a 0.1168 exchange factor, with cash consideration of $24.00 per share as disclosed. The Form 4 lists specific counts including a deemed acquisition of 31,231 shares underlying PSUs and reported dispositions aggregating tens of thousands of shares across lines. These entries change the reported beneficial ownership of Foot Locker securities and document the shift to Parent-equity exposure for holders of converted awards.

Footnotes (1)
- On September 8, 2025, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated May 15, 2025, by and among DICK'S Sporting Goods, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), RJS Sub LLC, a New York limited liability company and a wholly owned direct Subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and the Issuer, the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). Represents a deemed acquisition of shares of Issuer common stock underlying unvested performance stock units ("PSUs") at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time") pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the applicable award agreement (or if not addressed in the applicable award agreement, the Issuer's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of March 22, 2023). At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each time-based restricted stock unit ("RSU") of the Issuer that is not held by a non-employee director of the Issuer and each PSU of the Issuer that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into an RSU award in respect of a number of shares of Parent common stock, rounded to the nearest whole share, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Issuer common stock subject to such Issuer RSU or PSU, as applicable (with the number of shares subject to an Issuer PSU determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement), as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) 0.1168 (each such assumed Issuer RSU or PSU, as so adjusted, a "Adjusted RSU"). Any Adjusted RSU is subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Issuer RSU or PSU prior to the Effective Time, except that any Adjusted RSU corresponding to an Issuer PSU is no longer subject to any performance-based vesting conditions. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to certain exceptions, each share of Issuer common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive, without interest and at the holder's election, either (i) an amount in cash equal to $24.00 or (ii) 0.1168 shares of Parent common stock (except that any fractional shares were instead replaced by the right to receive a corresponding cash amount).
