Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indenture and Notes

On June 17, 2025, GameStop Corp. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced private offering (the “Offering”) of $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement between the Company and the initial purchaser of the Notes, the Company granted the initial purchaser an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $450 million aggregate principal amount of Notes. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated June 17, 2025 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Notes will mature on June 15, 2032, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. Holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 15, 2032 only upon satisfaction of one or more of the following conditions: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on November 1, 2025 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Common Stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; and (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as set forth in the Indenture. On or after March 15, 2032 until the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy its conversion obligation by paying and/or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

The conversion rate for the Notes will initially be 34.5872 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $28.91 per share of Common Stock. The initial conversion price of the Notes represents a premium of approximately 32.5% over the U.S. composite volume weighted average price of the Common Stock from 1:00 p.m. through 4:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on The New York Stock Exchange on June 12, 2025. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if the Company delivers a notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period (as defined in the Indenture), as the case may be.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to June 20, 2029. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to the partial redemption limitation set forth in the Indenture), at its option, on or after June 20, 2029 if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

Noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes on December 15, 2028, at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. In addition, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions and except as set forth in the Indenture, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Indenture includes customary terms and covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the

Company or any of its significant subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) after which the Notes become automatically due and payable. The following events are considered “events of default” under the Indenture:

•default in any payment of special interest on any Note when due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

•default in the payment of principal of any Note when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon optional redemption, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise;

•failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in accordance with the Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right, and such failure continues for three business days;

•failure by the Company to give (i) a notice of a fundamental change or make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), in either case when due and such failure continues for four business days, or (ii) notice of certain specified corporate transactions or events when due and such failure continues for one business day;

•failure by the Company to comply with its obligations in respect of any consolidation, merger or sale of assets;

•failure by the Company for 60 days after written notice from the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding has been received to comply with any of the Company’s other agreements contained in the Notes or Indenture;

•default by the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries with respect to any mortgage, agreement or other instrument under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed with a principal amount in excess of $100 million (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate for the Company and/or any such significant subsidiary, whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created (i) resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity date or (ii) constituting a failure to pay the principal of any such debt when due and payable (after the expiration of all applicable grace periods) at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and in the cases of clauses (i) and (ii), such acceleration shall not have been rescinded or annulled or such failure to pay or default shall not have been cured or waived, or such indebtedness is not paid or discharged, as the case may be, within 60 days after written notice of such failure to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding in accordance with the Indenture; and

•certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries.

If certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default occur with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, on, all of the then outstanding Notes shall automatically become due and payable. If an event of default other than certain bankruptcy and insolvency-related events of default with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, and the Trustee at the request of such holders shall, declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, on, all of the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an event of default relating to certain failures by the Company to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture will, for the first 365 days after the occurrence of such an event of default, consist exclusively of the right of holders to receive special interest on the Notes.

The Indenture provides that the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the consolidated properties and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to, another person (other than any such sale, conveyance, transfer or lease to one or more of the Company’s direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries) unless: (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (if not the Company) is a “qualified successor entity” (as defined in the Indenture) (such qualified successor entity, the “successor entity”) organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and such successor entity (if not the Company) expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and the Indenture; and (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture.

A copy of the Indenture and form of Global Note are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference (and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents).

Proceeds

The net proceeds from the Offering were $2.23 billion, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commission and the estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including making investments in a manner consistent with the Company’s Investment Policy and potential acquisitions.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company offered and sold the Notes to the initial purchaser in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and for resale by the initial purchaser to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the initial purchaser in the purchase agreement, dated June 12, 2025, between the Company and the initial purchaser named therein. The Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, if any, have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

To the extent that any shares of Common Stock are issued upon conversion of the Notes, they will be issued in transactions anticipated to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof, because no commission or other remuneration is expected to be paid in connection with conversion of the Notes, and any resulting issuance of shares of Common Stock. Initially, a maximum of 101,625,975 shares of Common Stock (or 121,951,170 shares of Common Stock if the initial purchaser exercises its option to purchase up to an additional $450 million principal amount of Notes) may be issued upon conversion of the Notes based on the initial maximum conversion rate of 45.1671 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

On June 11, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the proposed Offering. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

On June 12, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
