Item 3. Legal Proceedings

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended May 4, 2024, August 3, 2024, and November 2, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2024, September 4, 2024, and November 27, 2024, respectively, on February 16, 2024, Plumbers and Pipefitters Local Union No. 719 Pension Trust Fund filed a putative shareholder class action complaint against the Company and certain of our executive officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. On July 30, 2024, the Court appointed the State of Rhode Island Office of the General Treasurer, on behalf of the Employees’ Retirement System of the State of Rhode Island, and Western Pennsylvania Teamsters and Employers Pension Fund as lead plaintiffs in the action (now captioned In re Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. Securities Litigation, Case No. 2:24-cv-00196-NR-KT). On October 15, 2024, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint against the same defendants alleging that the defendants violated Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by making material misrepresentations and omissions about the Company’s business and financial condition, including regarding the Company’s inventory, margins, and business prospects, as well as inventory shrinkage related to retail theft. The consolidated complaint is brought on behalf of a putative class of those who purchased or otherwise acquired our common stock between August 23, 2022 and August 21, 2023, and seeks relief including damages and costs, including attorneys’ fees. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint on December 16, 2024. The Company does not believe the consolidated complaint states any meritorious claim and intends to defend this case vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation.

On February 13, 2025, a derivative complaint was filed against certain of our executive officers and directors, and against the Company as nominal defendant, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The plaintiff alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust enrichment, including based on alleged misrepresentations and omissions that are similar to the allegations in In re Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. Securities Litigation. The complaint seeks relief on behalf of the Company including damages, restitution, and certain governance reforms, and an award of costs, including attorneys’ fees. The Company does not believe that the complaint states any meritorious claim and intends to defend this case vigorously. At this early stage of the proceedings, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the litigation.

We and our subsidiaries are involved in various other proceedings that are incidental to the normal course of our business. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we do not expect that any of such other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
