GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) ("GameStop") today announced that it has agreed to exchange approximately $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of its outstanding convertible senior notes for shares of its Class A common stock (the "Common Stock"), pursuant to privately negotiated exchange agreements (the "Exchange Agreements") entered into 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"). The Existing Noteholders are exchanging approximately $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 2032 Notes (collectively, the "Exchange Notes").
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, GameStop will issue shares of its Common Stock to the Existing Noteholders for their Exchange Notes (the "Exchange"). GameStop will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Common Stock in the Exchange. Following the closing of the Exchange, the Exchange Notes will be cancelled and no longer outstanding, and the Company’s outstanding long-term debt will be reduced by approximately $1.4 billion (with approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 2030 Notes and $1.7 billion aggregate principal amount of 2032 Notes remaining outstanding). The Exchange retires this debt without the use of cash. The Exchange is expected to close on or about September 23, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable in the Exchange will be based in part on the average volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock over a 35 consecutive trading day reference period beginning on August 3, 2026, subject to a per share price floor.
