PRESS RELEASE
Dicks Sporting Goods Announces More than 90% of Galyans Trading Company Shares are Tendered
PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 29, 2004 Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc. (NYSE: DKS) today announced that it has successfully completed its cash tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Galyans Trading Company, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLYN). Approximately 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Galyans common stock were tendered in response to Dicks $16.75 per share cash offer.
The tender offer and merger plans were previously announced on June 21, 2004. With the addition of the 48 Galyans stores to the 173 Dicks stores operating today, Dicks will now operate 221 stores in 32 states. Dicks and Galyans generated combined sales of approximately $2.2 billion in fiscal 2003. All necessary regulatory approvals for the acquisition were obtained, and, the company increased and extended its existing credit facility to a $350 million facility expiring in July, 2008.
Dicks tender offer for Galyans expired, as scheduled, at 12:00 Midnight, New York City Time, on Wednesday, July 28, 2004. The Computershare Trust Company of New York, the Depositary for the offer, has advised Dicks that a total of 17,894,332 shares of Galyans common stock were validly tendered into the offer and not withdrawn, which includes 1,328,301 shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. All validly tendered shares were accepted for a purchase price of $16.75 per share in cash, net to the seller without interest, in accordance with the terms of the offer. Payment for the shares will be made promptly.
Dicks intends to acquire the remaining Galyans shares through a short-form merger under Indiana law. A wholly owned subsidiary of Dicks will be merged into Galyans, and each share of Galyans common stock that remains outstanding (except for shares held by Dicks or its subsidiary) will be converted into the right to receive $16.75 in cash, net to the seller without interest, the same amount of consideration paid for shares tendered in the offer. As a result, Galyans will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Dicks. Merger consideration will be paid promptly after the completion of the merger. Under applicable law, the merger is not subject to approval of the shareholders of Galyans.
Dicks expects to complete the merger by Friday, July 30.
