FAQ

What did Foot Locker (FL) do in this post-effective S-8 filing?

Foot Locker filed post-effective amendments to several Form S-8 registration statements to deregister any unsold shares. These shares were previously registered for employee benefit and stock incentive plans that are no longer offering securities following the merger with DICK’S Sporting Goods.

Why is Foot Locker (FL) deregistering shares from its S-8 plans?

Foot Locker is deregistering these shares because, after its merger with a DICK’S Sporting Goods subsidiary, it terminated all offerings and sales under the listed registration statements. The company is now removing any remaining unsold securities and ending the effectiveness of those registrations.

Which Foot Locker (FL) plans are affected by the deregistration?

The deregistration covers shares previously registered for the Foot Locker 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, the 401(k) Plan, the Puerto Rico 1165(e) Plan, the 2013 and 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plans, and specific inducement award agreements for equity grants, including restricted stock, options, and performance units.

How is the DICK’S Sporting Goods merger involved in this Foot Locker (FL) filing?

The filing explains that a DICK’S Sporting Goods subsidiary merged with Foot Locker, with Foot Locker becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. Because of this completed merger, Foot Locker ended offerings under the S-8 registrations and is now formally deregistering any unsold securities.

Does this Foot Locker (FL) filing register any new securities?

No, the filing does not register new securities. Instead, it removes from registration any securities that were previously registered under the listed Form S-8 statements but remained unsold when Foot Locker terminated the related offerings after the merger with DICK’S Sporting Goods.

Who signed the Foot Locker (FL) post-effective S-8 amendments?

The post-effective amendments were signed on behalf of Foot Locker by Erin Conway, who is identified as Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. The document notes that no other signatures are required under the applicable Securities Act rule.
