GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) ("GameStop") today announced that it has entered into amendments (the "Amendments") to its previously announced exchange agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") with certain existing holders (the "Existing Noteholders") of its 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes") and 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes" and, together with the 2030 Notes, the "Exchange Notes"), pursuant to which approximately $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes will be exchanged and canceled (the "Exchange").
As originally structured, the Exchange was to be settled entirely in shares of GameStop’s Class A common stock (the "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. By settling the remaining consideration in cash, GameStop has fixed the total number of shares issuable in respect of the Exchange. No additional shares are issuable in respect of the Exchange.
In total, 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%), which GameStop expects to fund from cash on hand.
Following the closing of the Exchange, approximately $1.1 billion of 2030 Notes and $1.7 billion of 2032 Notes, or approximately $2.8 billion in aggregate, will remain outstanding.
The Exchange, as amended, is now expected to close on or about September 3, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
