TriMas Corp. (TRS) � Form 144/A Mitteilung
Insider Thomas A. Amato beabsichtigt, 65.982 Stammaktien zu verkaufen, was etwa 0,16 % der 40,64 Millionen ausstehenden Aktien entspricht. Der geplante Verkauf im Wert von 2,33 Millionen US-Dollar soll am oder nach dem 30. Juli 2025 ü Fidelity Brokerage Services an der NASDAQ erfolgen.
Die Aktien wurden durch Restricted-Stock-Vesting an vier Terminen zwischen Mai 2021 und März 2023 erhalten (insgesamt 65.982 Aktien). In den letzten drei Monaten hat Amato bereits 63.965 Aktien ü 2,24 Millionen US-Dollar verkauft, was auf eine fortlaufende Veräußerung von aktienbasierten Vergütungen hinweist.
- In dieser Meldung sind keine Gewinn-, Prognose- oder Betriebsaktualisierungen enthalten.
- Der Melder bestätigt, dass ihm keine nicht offengelegten negativen Informationen bekannt sind.
- Sale volume is only 0.16 % of outstanding shares, implying negligible dilution or market-liquidity impact.
- Shares were earned through restricted-stock vesting, not open-market purchases, signaling compensation-related diversification rather than potential insider pessimism.
- Second large insider sale within three months (and on consecutive days) may raise perception of negative insider sentiment.
- Aggregate proceeds of �$4.6 M from recent sales could pressure near-term stock sentiment despite small percentage of float.
Insights
TL;DR � Consecutive insider sales worth �$4.6 M may pressure sentiment but represent only 0.3 % of float.
The filing signals another sizeable disposition by Thomas A. Amato following a similar trade one day earlier. Though the absolute dollar amount is meaningful, the combined 129,947 shares equal roughly 0.32 % of TriMas� outstanding stock and should have limited liquidity impact. Because the shares stem from vested compensation, the transactions appear strategic for diversification rather than indicative of operational concerns. Still, clustered insider selling can be interpreted negatively by momentum-driven investors.
TL;DR � Filing is routine; no red flags beyond optics of back-to-back insider disposals.
Form 144 compliance looks standard: disclosure of acquisition history, share counts, broker, and certification that no non-public adverse information exists. The modest percentage of shares sold suggests minimal governance risk. However, repeated sales close in time could draw shareholder scrutiny over executive alignment, particularly if no buy-backs offset dilution from compensation programs.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which incorporates into the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) certain incremental disclosure requirements introduced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as part of its disclosure update and simplification initiative. The amendments in this update are intended to clarify or improve presentation and disclosure requirements around a variety of ASC Topics, improve entity comparability for users, and align ASC requirements with SEC regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the ASC and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the issuance of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which include improvements to income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to better align disclosures with Regulation S-X and to remove disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial or relevant. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with earlier or retrospective application permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively for annual financial statements not yet issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the future impact of the issuance of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which includes improvements to disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and addresses requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expense; and research and development). This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 (as later clarified with the issuance of ASU No. 2025-1, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)—Clarifying the Effective Date), with
Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Interim Financial Statements.
General Concentration of Risk
The Company purchases merchandise from over
A substantial amount of the Company’s inventory is manufactured abroad, particularly in China. We are subject to tariffs on certain imports into the United States. The U.S. administration has been increasing tariffs on China and other countries and more tariffs may be added in the future. If we are unable to pass tariff-related product cost increases on to our customers, it could decrease our merchandise margins and operating results. These tariffs could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, from time to time, shipping ports may experience capacity constraints, labor strikes, work stoppages or other disruptions that may delay the delivery of imported products. A contract dispute may lead to protracted delays in the movement of the Company’s products, which could further delay the delivery of products to the Company’s stores and impact net sales and profitability. In addition, other conditions outside of the Company’s control, such as adverse weather conditions or acts of terrorism or war, such as the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, could significantly disrupt operations at shipping ports or otherwise impact transportation of the imported merchandise we sell, either through supply chain disruptions, or rising freight and fuel costs.
The Company could be exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its lender under its revolving credit facility. Instability in the financial and capital markets could bring additional potential risks to the Company, including higher costs of credit, potential lender defaults, and potential commercial bank failures. The Company has received no indication that any such events will negatively impact its lender under its credit facility; however, the possibility does exist.

Use of Estimates
Management makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Interim Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period to prepare these Interim Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP. Certain items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of merchandise inventories, property and equipment, lease assets and lease liabilities; valuation allowances for receivables, sales returns and deferred income tax assets; estimates related to stored-value cards and the valuation of share-based compensation awards; and obligations related to litigation, self-insurance liabilities and employee benefits. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and estimates, events and changes in circumstances arising after June 29, 2025 may result in actual outcomes that differ from those contemplated by management’s assumptions and estimates.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer, which include both retail stores and an e-commerce platform, that offers a broad range of products in the western United States and online, and whose Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company’s stores typically have similar square footage, with the stores and e-commerce platform offering a similar general product mix. The Company’s core customer demographic remains similar across all sales channels, as does the Company’s process for the procurement and marketing of its product mix. Furthermore, the Company distributes its product mix for both the stores and e-commerce platform from a single distribution center. Given the consolidated level of review by the CODM, the Company operates as
Revenue Recognition
The Company operates solely as a sporting goods retailer, which includes both retail stores and an e-commerce platform, that offers a broad range of products in the western United States and online. Generally, all revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to customers, for an amount that reflects the consideration in exchange for those goods. Accordingly, the Company implicitly enters into a contract with customers to deliver merchandise inventory at the point of sale. Collectability is probable since the Company only extends immaterial credit purchases to certain municipalities and local school districts.
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company disaggregates net sales into the following major merchandise categories to depict the nature and amount of revenue and related cash flows:

For performance obligations related to retail store and e-commerce sales contracts, the Company typically transfers control, for retail stores, upon consummation of the sale when the product is paid for and taken by the customer and, for e-commerce sales, when the product is tendered for delivery to the common carrier. For performance obligations related to stored-value cards, the Company typically transfers control upon redemption of the stored-value card through consummation of a future sales transaction. The Company accounts for shipping and handling relative to e-commerce sales as fulfillment activities, and not a separate performance obligation. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for only

Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period using the fair-value method for share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards granted with service-only conditions. See Note 13 to the Interim Financial Statements for a further discussion on share-based compensation.
Valuation of Merchandise Inventories, Net
The Company’s merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted-average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Average cost includes the direct purchase price of merchandise inventory, net of vendor allowances and cash discounts, in-bound freight-related expense and allocated overhead expense associated with the Company’s distribution center.
Management regularly reviews inventories and records valuation reserves for damaged and defective merchandise, merchandise items with slow-moving or obsolescence exposure and merchandise that has a carrying value that exceeds net realizable value. Because of its merchandise mix, the Company has not historically experienced significant occurrences of obsolescence.
Inventory shrinkage is accrued as a percentage of merchandise sales based on historical inventory shrinkage trends. The Company performs physical inventories of its stores at least once per year and cycle counts inventories at its distribution center throughout the year. The reserve for inventory shrinkage primarily represents an estimate for inventory shrinkage for each store since the last physical inventory date through the reporting date.
These reserves are estimates, which could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual results if future economic conditions, consumer demand and competitive environments differ from expectations.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
- 10 -
BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
Long-lived assets are reviewed for recoverability at the lowest level in which there are identifiable cash flows (“asset group”), usually at the store level. The carrying amount of a store asset group includes stores’ property and equipment, primarily leasehold improvements, and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets. The carrying amount of a store asset group is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the store asset group. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating and cash flow losses, and a projection that demonstrates continuing losses or insufficient income over the remaining reasonably certain lease term associated with the use of a store asset group. Other factors may include an adverse change in the business climate or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator in the market of a store asset group. When stores are identified as having an indicator of impairment, the Company forecasts undiscounted cash flows over the store asset group’s remaining reasonably certain lease term and compares the undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the store asset group. If the store asset group is determined not to be recoverable, then an impairment charge will be recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the store asset group exceeds its fair value, determined using discounted cash flow valuation techniques, as contemplated in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.
The Company determines the cash flows expected to result from the store asset group by projecting future revenue, gross margin and operating expense for each store asset group under evaluation for impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. Assumptions used in these forecasts are consistent with internal planning, and include assumptions about sales growth rates, gross margins and operating expense in relation to the current economic environment and the Company’s future expectations, competitive factors in its various markets, inflation, sales trends and other relevant environmental factors that may impact the store under evaluation. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. If economic conditions deteriorate in the markets in which the Company conducts business, or if other negative market conditions develop, the Company may experience additional impairment charges in the future for underperforming stores.
The resulting impairment charge, if any, is allocated to the property and equipment, primarily leasehold improvements, and operating lease ROU assets on a pro-rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets. The allocated impairment charge to a long-lived asset is limited to the extent that the impairment charge does not reduce the carrying amount of the individual long-lived asset below its individual fair value. The estimation of the fair value of an ROU asset involves the evaluation of current market value rental amounts for leases associated with ROU assets. The estimates of current market value rental amounts are primarily based on recent observable market rental data of other comparable retail store locations. The fair value of an ROU asset is measured using a discounted cash flow valuation technique by discounting the estimated current and future market rental values using a property-specific discount rate.
The Company recognized $
Leases
In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating and finance leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center, corporate offices, information technology (“IT”) systems hardware, and distribution center delivery tractors and equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment and finance lease liabilities, current and noncurrent, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Lease liabilities are calculated using the effective interest method, regardless of classification, while the amortization of ROU assets varies depending upon classification. Finance lease classification results in a front-loaded expense recognition pattern over the lease term which amortizes the ROU asset by recognizing interest expense and amortization expense as separate components of lease expense and calculates the amortization expense component on a straight-line basis. Conversely, operating lease classification results in a straight-line expense recognition pattern over the lease term and recognizes lease expense as a single expense component, which results in amortization of the ROU asset that equals the difference between lease expense and interest expense. Lease expense for finance and operating leases are included in cost of sales or selling and administrative expense, based on the use of the leased asset, on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Variable payments such as property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance related to triple net leases, as well as certain equipment sales taxes, licenses, fees and repairs, are expensed as incurred, and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are excluded from minimum lease payments and are not recorded on the interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes variable lease expense for these short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
- 11 -
BIG 5 SPORTING GOODS CORPORATION
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(continued)
ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the reasonably certain lease term. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses a collateralized incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) to determine the present value of lease payments. The collateralized IBR is based on a synthetic credit rating that is externally prepared on an annual basis. This analysis considers qualitative and quantitative factors based on guidance provided by a rating agency for the consumer durables industry. The Company adjusts the selected IBR quarterly with a company-specific unsecured yield curve that approximates the Company’s market risk profile. The collateralized IBR is also based upon the estimated impact that the collateral has on the IBR. To account for the collateralized nature of the IBR, the Company utilized a notching method based on notching guidance provided by a rating agency whereby the Company’s base credit rating is notched upward as the yield curve on a secured loan is expected to be lower versus an unsecured loan.
The operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives such as tenant improvement allowances. The operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Certain of the leases for the Company’s retail store facilities provide for payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease. Under ASC 842, these contingent rents are expensed as they accrue.
See Note 8 to the Interim Financial Statements for a further discussion on leases.

The single operating segment derives revenues from customers purchasing goods from both the Company’s retail stores and online. The Company’s product mix includes athletic shoes, apparel and accessories, as well as a broad selection of outdoor and athletic equipment for team sports, fitness, camping, hunting, fishing, home recreation, tennis, golf, and winter and summer recreation.
The accounting policies of the single operating segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The CODM assesses performance for the single operating segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the income statement as net income or loss.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
Net income is used in monitoring budget versus actual results. The CODM also uses net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.
The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values of these instruments due to their short-term nature. Book overdrafts for checks outstanding are classified as current liabilities in the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amount of borrowings under the Company’s credit facility approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate charged to the Company for these borrowings. When the Company recognizes impairment on certain of its underperforming stores, the carrying values of these stores are reduced to their estimated fair values.
The Company’s only significant assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition were assets subject to long-lived asset impairment related to certain underperforming stores. The Company estimates the fair values of these long-lived assets based on the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset and on observable real estate market data of underperforming stores’ specific comparable markets, when available. The Company classifies these fair value measurements as Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for which market data are not available and that are developed using the best information available about pricing assumptions used by market participants in accordance with ASC 820. As of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, there were $

The Company has operating and finance leases for the Company’s retail store facilities, distribution center, corporate offices, IT systems hardware, and distribution center delivery tractors and equipment, and accounts for these leases in accordance with ASC 842.
Certain of the leases for the Company’s retail store facilities provide for variable payments for property taxes, insurance, common area maintenance payments related to triple net leases, rental payments based on future sales volumes at the leased location, as well as certain equipment sales taxes, licenses, fees and repairs, which are not measurable at the inception of the lease, or rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company recognizes variable lease expense for these leases in the period incurred which, for contingent rent, begins in the period in which it becomes probable that the specified target that triggers the variable lease payments will be achieved. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Generally, the Company may designate specific borrowings under the Loan Agreement as either base rate loans or term SOFR rate loans. The applicable interest rate on borrowings is a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Line Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Availability”). Those loans designated as term SOFR rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the tables below.

Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is recorded, if necessary, to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the realizability of deferred tax assets and includes historical information about results of operations for the current and preceding years as well as more subjective information about future years. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was a cumulative loss over the most recent 24-month period, which was not outweighed by available positive evidence and which limited the Company’s projections of future growth. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth. Accordingly, as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, a valuation allowance of $

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding, reduced by shares repurchased and held in treasury, during the period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding share option awards, nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards. During periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because the antidilutive effect of potential common shares is disregarded.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 29, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the fiscal 13-week and 26-week periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and of cash flows for the fiscal 26-week periods ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 29, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2025, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The following discussion and analysis of the Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us”) financial condition and results of operations includes information with respect to our plans and strategies for our business and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes (“Interim Financial Statements”) included herein, the Risk Factors included herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and our consolidated financial statements, related notes, Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. Fiscal 2025 is comprised of 52 weeks and ends on December 28, 2025. Fiscal 2024 was comprised of 52 weeks and ended on December 29, 2024. The interim periods in fiscal 2025 and 2024 are each comprised of 13 weeks.
Overview
We are a leading sporting goods retailer in the western United States, with 414 stores and an e-commerce platform under the name “Big 5 Sporting Goods” as of June 29, 2025. We provide a full-line product offering in a traditional sporting goods store format that averages approximately 12,000 square feet. Our product mix includes athletic shoes, apparel and accessories, as well as a broad selection of outdoor and athletic equipment for team sports, fitness, camping, hunting, fishing, home recreation, tennis, golf, and winter and summer recreation.
We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such as inflation, the effects of recently implemented tariffs, and the potential imposition of modified or additional tariffs, which could have adverse effects on our net sales and profitability. As a result of the tariffs announced by the U.S. administration and potential tariff modifications or the imposition of tariffs by other countries, we are evaluating the impact on our product purchase costs, merchandise margins and supply chain from these rapid changes in global trade policies. The impact of these changes on our financial results is uncertain. If we are unable to pass along increases in product purchase costs to customers, our margins and profitability will decline. Additionally, such macroeconomic conditions may adversely affect consumer sentiment resulting in reduced consumer demand for our product and lower sales. We will continue to evaluate these factors and their potential effects on our financial results.
In the first half of fiscal 2025 we closed eight stores and in the first half of fiscal 2024 we opened one store and closed six stores. For fiscal 2025, we do not anticipate opening any new stores and we anticipate closing approximately 15 stores (including eight stores that we closed in the first two months of fiscal 2025).
Proposed Merger
On June 29, 2025, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 29, 2025, by and among Worldwide Sports Group Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), WSG Merger LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and us, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and satisfaction of the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge into and with us, with us as the surviving company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of our common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger other than any shares of common stock (i) owned by Parent, Merger Sub or us or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or us or (ii) owned by stockholders who are entitled to demand and have properly and validly demanded their appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive $1.45 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Agreement contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to our operations of the business between signing and closing. The Merger is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by our stockholders. The Merger Agreement includes customary termination rights for us and Parent. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, we will be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $2.0 million. In addition, in certain specified circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, Parent will be required to pay us a termination fee of $3.0 million upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

Executive Summary
Our increased net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2024 primarily reflected the impact of reduced net sales, lower merchandise margins, a reduced income tax benefit and increases in legal and other third-party expense related to the previously-announced merger proposal. We believe the decrease in net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 in part reflected significant inflationary pressures which dampened consumer sentiment and reduced demand for discretionary products.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by $14.9 million, or 7.5%, to $184.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 from $199.8 million in the second quarter last year. The change in net sales reflected the following:
- 25 -
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $6.5 million to $52.2 million, or 28.2% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared with $58.7 million, or 29.4% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2024. The change in gross profit was primarily attributable to the following:
Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense increased by $3.2 million to $75.4 million, or 40.8% of net sales, in the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to $72.2 million, or 36.1% of net sales, in the second quarter of last year. The change in selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to the following:
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2024 due primarily to borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 combined with lower interest income.
Income Tax Benefit. The provision for income taxes was an expense of $8,000 and a benefit of $3.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The provision for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 reflected the establishment of a valuation allowance in fiscal 2024 related to deferred tax assets. See Note 10 to the Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our evaluation of deferred tax assets.

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by $32.8 million, or 8.3%, to $360.5 million in the first half of fiscal 2025 from $393.3 million in the same period last year. The change in net sales reflected the following:
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased by $12.6 million to $106.5 million, or 29.5% of net sales, in the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared with $119.1 million, or 30.3% of net sales, in the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2024. The change in gross profit was primarily attributable to the following:

Selling and Administrative Expense. Selling and administrative expense increased by $2.5 million to $146.1 million, or 40.5% of net sales, in the 26 weeks ended June 29, 2025, compared to $143.6 million, or 36.5% of net sales, in the same period last year. The change in selling and administrative expense was primarily attributable to the following:
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $1.9 million in the first half of fiscal 2025 compared to the first half of fiscal 2024 due primarily to borrowings under our revolving credit facility in the first half of fiscal 2025 combined with lower interest income.
Income Tax Benefit. The provision for income taxes was an expense of $9,000 and a benefit of $6.4 million for the first half of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The provision for the first half of fiscal 2025 reflected the establishment of a valuation allowance in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 related to deferred tax assets. See Note 10 to the Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion of our evaluation of deferred tax assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital and capital expenditures. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility.
As of June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we had $4.9 million and $4.9 million of cash, respectively, and $71.4 million and zero in revolving credit borrowings as of June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are summarized as follows:

Operating Activities. Operating cash flows for the first half of fiscal 2025 and 2024 were a negative $50.1 million and a negative $2.9 million, respectively. The decreased cash flow provided by operating activities for the first half of fiscal 2025 compared to the prior year primarily reflected increased funding of merchandise inventory and an increase in current year net loss compared with the prior year.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the first half of fiscal 2025 and 2024 was $2.3 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Capital expenditures for the periods were $3.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, excluding non-cash acquisitions, and primarily reflected store-related remodeling, distribution center investments and computer hardware and software purchases. Net cash used in investing activities for the first half of fiscal 2025 was also partially offset by proceeds related to an insurance recovery of $0.9 million.
- 28 -
Financing Activities. Financing cash flows for the first half of fiscal 2025 and 2024 were a positive $51.8 million and a positive $4.9 million, respectively. The increased financing cash flows in the current year compared with the prior year primarily reflect increased revolving credit borrowings. For both periods presented, cash was also used to make principal payments on finance lease liabilities and fund dividend payments. No dividends were declared in the current year. Accordingly, dividend payments in the first half of fiscal 2025 reflected only annual payments to employees related to the annual vesting of their accrued but unpaid nonvested share awards, while dividend payments in the same period last year also reflected a dividend declaration of $0.10 per share.
As of June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we had $71.4 million and zero revolving credit borrowings, respectively, and $5.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of letter of credit commitments outstanding.
In the first half of fiscal 2024, we paid two quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of outstanding common stock. In an effort to provide additional financial flexibility given the uncertain duration of current macroeconomic challenges, our Board of Directors suspended the quarterly cash dividend beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. As of December 29, 2024, our Loan Agreement (as defined and described more fully in the next section) with Bank of America restricted future cash dividend payments until certain fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are met.
Periodically, we have repurchased our common stock in the open market pursuant to programs approved by our Board of Directors. We may repurchase our common stock for a variety of reasons, including, among other things, our alternative cash requirements, existing business conditions and the current market price of our stock. Our current share repurchase program authorizes the purchase of up to $25.0 million of our common stock. Under this program, we may purchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in compliance with our Loan Agreement (as defined and described more fully in the next section) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. However, the timing and amount of such purchases, if any, would be at the discretion of our management and Board of Directors, and would depend on market conditions and other considerations. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock in fiscal 2024 or the first half of fiscal 2025. Since the inception of our initial share repurchase program in May 2006 through June 29, 2025, we have repurchased a total of 4,186,014 shares for $53.6 million. As of December 29, 2024, our Loan Agreement (as defined and described more fully in the next section) with Bank of America restricted future share repurchases until certain fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are met.
Loan Agreement. On December 18, 2024, we entered into an agreement to amend and extend our credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), as administrative agent and lender (the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement has a maturity date of December 18, 2029 and amends and restates our prior financing agreement with BofA. Similar to the prior financing agreement, the Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with an aggregate committed availability of up to $150.0 million. We may also request additional increases in aggregate availability, up to a maximum of $200.0 million, in which case the existing lenders under the Loan Agreement will have the option to increase the commitment to accommodate the requested increase. If such existing lenders do not exercise that option, we may (with the consent of BofA in its role as the administrative agent, not to be unreasonably withheld) seek other lenders willing to provide such commitments. The credit facility includes a $50.0 million sublimit for issuances of letters of credit.
We may borrow under the Loan Agreement from time to time, provided the amounts outstanding will not exceed the lesser of the then aggregate committed availability (as discussed above) and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount being referred to as the “Line Cap”). As defined in the Loan Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” generally is comprised of the sum, at the time of calculation, of (a) 90.00% of eligible credit card receivables; plus (b) the lesser of (i) the value of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 75.00%, or (ii) the value of eligible inventory (other than eligible in-transit inventory), net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 85.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible inventory); plus (c) the lesser of (i) the value of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 75.00%, or (ii) the value of eligible in-transit inventory, net of inventory reserves, multiplied by 85.00% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible in-transit inventory (expressed as a percentage of the cost of eligible in-transit inventory); minus (d) certain agreed upon reserves as well as other reserves established by BofA in its role as the administrative agent in its reasonable discretion.
Generally, we may designate specific borrowings under the Loan Agreement as either base rate loans or term SOFR rate loans. The applicable interest rate on borrowings is a function of the daily average, over the preceding fiscal quarter, of the excess of the Line Cap over amounts borrowed (such amount being referred to as the “Average Daily Availability”). Those loans designated as term SOFR rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin as shown in the tables below. Those loans designated as base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the applicable margin for base rate loans (as shown below) plus the highest of (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time within BofA as its prime rate”, (b) the Federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), or (c) the term SOFR rate, plus one percentage point (1.00%). As set forth below, the applicable margin for all loans is a function of (i) the Average Daily Availability for the preceding fiscal quarter, and (ii) whether the “Financial Covenant Conversion Date” has occurred by achieving a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for a period of six (6) consecutive months, as measured on a trailing 12-month basis.

Obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a general lien on and security interest in substantially all of our assets. The Loan Agreement contains covenants that require us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 in certain circumstances after the Financial Covenant Conversion Date, and limits the ability to, among other things, incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, transfer or dispose of assets, change the nature of the business, guarantee obligations, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase stock, and make advances, loans or investments. We may generally declare or pay cash dividends or repurchase stock only if, among other things, the Financial Covenant Conversion Date has occurred, no default or event of default then exists or would arise from such dividend or repurchase of stock and, after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, certain availability and/or fixed charge coverage ratio requirements are satisfied. The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, failure to pay when due principal amounts with respect to the credit facility, failure to pay any interest or other amounts under the credit facility, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants contained in the Loan Agreement, failure to satisfy certain judgments against us, failure to pay when due (or any other default which permits the acceleration of) certain other material indebtedness in principal amount in excess of $5.0 million, and certain insolvency and bankruptcy events. The Loan Agreement also requires us to use BofA and its affiliates as our primary depository institution for all cash management and treasury needs.
As of June 29, 2025, we had long-term revolving credit borrowings of $71.4 million and letter of credit commitments of $5.7 million outstanding, compared with borrowings of $13.8 million and letter of credit commitments of $6.1 million as of December 29, 2024. Total remaining borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, after subtracting letters of credit, was $72.9 million and $130.1 million as of June 29, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.
Future Capital Requirements. We had cash on hand of $4.9 million as of June 29, 2025. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2025, excluding non-cash acquisitions, to range from approximately $4.0 million to $7.0 million primarily to fund store-related remodeling, distribution center investments and computer hardware and software purchases. For fiscal 2025, we do not anticipate opening any new stores and we anticipate closing approximately 15 stores.
We believe we will be able to fund our cash requirements from cash on hand, operating cash flows and borrowings from our credit facility, for at least the next 12 months.
- 30 -
Contractual Obligations. Our material contractual obligations include operating lease commitments associated with our leased properties and other occupancy expense, finance lease obligations, borrowings under the credit facility and other liabilities. Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for our retail store facilities, distribution center and corporate offices. These leases frequently include options which permit us to extend the terms beyond the initial fixed lease term, and we intend to renegotiate most of these leases as they expire. Operating lease commitments also consist of information technology (“IT”) systems hardware, distribution center delivery tractors and equipment. Additional information regarding our operating and finance leases is available in Notes 3 and 8 to the Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In October 2024, we resumed borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At the end of the first half of fiscal 2025 we had borrowings of $71.4 million under our revolving credit facility.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into arrangements with vendors to purchase merchandise in advance of expected delivery. Because most of these purchase orders do not contain any termination payments or other penalties if cancelled, they are not included as outstanding contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Estimates
As discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, we consider our estimates on valuation of merchandise inventory and valuation of long-lived assets to be among the most critical in understanding the judgments that are involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes to these estimates in the 13 weeks ended June 29, 2025.
Seasonality and Impact of Inflation
We experience seasonal fluctuations in our net sales and operating results, which can suffer when weather does not conform to seasonal norms. Seasonality in our net sales influences our buying patterns which directly impacts our merchandise and accounts payable levels and cash flows. We purchase merchandise for seasonal activities in advance of a season and supplement our merchandise assortment as necessary and when possible during the season. Our efforts to replenish products during a season are not always successful. In the fourth fiscal quarter, which includes the holiday selling season and the start of the winter selling season, we normally experience higher inventory purchase volumes and increased expense for staffing and advertising. If we miscalculate the consumer demand for our products generally or for our product mix in advance of a season, particularly the fourth quarter, our net sales can decline, which can harm our financial performance. A significant shortfall from expected net sales, particularly during the fourth quarter, can negatively impact our annual operating results.
In fiscal 2024 and 2025, we experienced significant inflation in the cost of products that we purchase for resale. While our merchandise inventory costs have been impacted by inflationary pressures, we have generally been able to adjust our selling prices in response to these higher product purchase costs. However, if we are unable to adjust our selling prices for product purchase cost increases that might occur in the future, then our merchandise margins could decline, which would adversely impact our operating results. Additionally, we have begun to evaluate the impact on our product purchase costs and merchandise margins that could result from recent changes in U.S. tariff policy enacted by the current administration and have not yet determined the impact of such changes. In fiscal 2024 and 2025, we experienced broad-based inflationary pressures which adversely impacted many categories of costs and expenses, including increased wage-rate pressures, and which are expected to continue during fiscal 2025.

This document includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, our financial condition, our results of operations, our growth strategy and the business of our company generally. In some cases, you can identify such statements by terminology such as “may,” “could,” “project,” “estimate,” “potential,” “continue,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends” or other such terminology. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in current or future periods to change significantly and differ materially from forecasted results. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in current or future periods to change significantly and differ materially from forecasted results. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks associated with our entrance into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated June 29, 2025, by and among Worldwide Sports Group Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), WSG Merger LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) and us, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and satisfaction of the conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merger into and with us, with us as the surviving company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”); the structure, timing and ability to consummate the Merger; any anticipated effects of the Merger’s announcement, pendency or completion on the value of our common stock; any potential future costs or benefits of the Merger, including relating to expenses, restrictions on the conduct of our business, diversion of our management’s attention, ability to retain or hire employees, maintenance of relationships with vendors and other business partners and payment of termination fees; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us and others relating to the Merger; the economic impacts of public health issues (including COVID-19 or any potential variants), on our business operations, including as a result of regulations that may be issued in response to COVID-19, global supply chain disruptions resulting from the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, changes in the consumer spending environment, fluctuations in consumer holiday spending patterns, increased competition from e-commerce retailers, breach of data security or other unauthorized disclosure of sensitive personal or confidential information, the competitive environment in the sporting goods industry in general and in our specific market areas, inflation, product availability and growth opportunities, changes in the current market for (or regulation of) firearm-related products, a reduction or loss of product from a key supplier, disruption in product flow, seasonal fluctuations, weather conditions, changes in cost of goods, operating expense fluctuations, increases in labor and benefit-related expense, changes in laws or regulations, including those related to tariffs and duties such as the rapid change in tariff policies recently implemented by the U.S. administration, as well as environmental, social and governance issues, public health issues (including those caused by COVID-19 or any potential variants), impacts from civil unrest or widespread vandalism, lower than expected profitability of our e-commerce platform or cannibalization of sales from our existing store base which could occur as a result of operating the e-commerce platform, litigation risks, stockholder campaigns and proxy contests, risks related to our historically leveraged financial condition, changes in interest rates, credit availability, higher expense associated with sources of credit resulting from uncertainty in financial markets, our ability to reverse valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, and economic conditions in general. Those and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this report and in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC. We caution that the risk factors set forth in this report and the other reports that we file with the SEC are not exclusive. In addition, we conduct our business in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. Accordingly, new risk factors may arise. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor to assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any individual risk factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by us or on our behalf.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at a reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are providing the following additional risk factors to supplement the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.
Risks Related to the Merger
The conditions under the Merger Agreement to consummation of the Merger may not be satisfied at all or in the anticipated timeframe.
On June 29, 2025, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into us, with us surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to the absence of any law or order by any governmental authority that would make illegal or otherwise prohibit or prevent the Merger and other conditions specified in the Merger Agreement. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated. These conditions are described in more detail in the Merger Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 30, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference.
The announcement of, or a failure to consummate, the Merger could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or our stock price.
Our announcement of having entered into the Merger Agreement could cause a material disruption to our business and there can be no assurance that the conditions to the consummation of the Merger will be satisfied. The Merger Agreement may also be terminated by us and/or Parent in certain specified circumstances, as described below. We are subject to several risks as a result of the announcement of the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to, the following:
- 34 -
In addition, our executive officers and directors may have interests in the Merger that are different from, or are in addition to, those of our stockholders generally. These interests include without limitation the following:
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could make it difficult for a third-party to acquire us prior to the completing of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contains restrictions on our ability to obtain a third-party proposal for an acquisition of the Company. These provisions include our agreement not to solicit or initiate any additional discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire us, as well as restrictions on our ability to respond to such proposals, subject to fulfillment of certain fiduciary requirements of our Board of Directors. The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights, including, under certain circumstances, a requirement for us to pay to Parent a termination fee of approximately $2 million.
These provisions might discourage an otherwise-interested third-party from considering or proposing an acquisition of our Company, even one that may be deemed of greater value to our stockholders than the Merger. Furthermore, even if a third-party elects to propose an acquisition, the concept of a termination fee may result in that third-party offering a lower value to our stockholders than such third-party might otherwise have offered.
While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.
The Merger Agreement includes restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the completion of the Merger, generally requiring us to use reasonable best efforts to conduct our business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice, including using reasonable best efforts to maintain our material assets and properties, and preserve goodwill and relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors, contractors, employees, and others. In addition, we are subject to a variety of specified restrictions. Unless we obtain Parent’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as specifically required by the Merger Agreement or required by applicable law, we may not, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limitations and qualifications, incur additional indebtedness, issue additional shares of our common stock outside of our equity incentive plans, modify any employee benefit plan or make any material employment changes, pay distributions, acquire certain assets or securities, sell, dispose of or encumber certain assets, enter into material contracts, or make certain capital expenditures. We may find that these and other contractual restrictions in the Merger Agreement delay or prevent us from responding, or limit our ability to respond effectively to competitive pressures, industry developments and future business opportunities that may arise during such period, even if our management believes they may be advisable. If any of these effects were to occur, it could materially and adversely impact our operating results, financial position, cash flows or the price of our common stock.
Securities class action and derivative lawsuits in connection with the Merger could result in substantial costs and prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger.
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition or merger agreements. Defending against and settling or otherwise resolving these types of claims can result in substantial costs, including costs associated with indemnification of directors and officers, and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment in any such litigation relating to the Merger could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition. If a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Merger, that injunction could delay or prevent the Merger from being completed, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or our stock price.

Risks Related to Regulatory, Legislative and Legal Matters
Tariffs on certain imports to the United States, other potential changes to U.S. tariff and import/export regulations and policies, and other changes to macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to tariffs on certain imports into the United States and many of the goods we sell are imported from other countries, principally China. Since the beginning of 2025, the U.S. government has announced several different measures regarding tariffs. As the implementation of tariffs is ongoing, more tariffs may be added in the future. These tariffs could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and if we are unable to obtain products or pass product cost increases on to our customers, it could decrease our merchandise margins and operating results. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, discussions remain ongoing with respect to tariffs on imports from various countries, including China, Canada and Mexico, as well as retaliatory tariffs enacted in response to such actions. In light of these events, there continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties, and tariffs. These developments may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. These factors could depress economic activity and limit trade opportunities with our suppliers which, if we are unable to find replacement product through alternative suppliers, could increase our costs and adversely impact our sales and profitability.
Deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, including escalating tariff and non-tariff trade measures, could result in increased uncertainty and lead to a further decline in consumer sentiment and reduced customer spending, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Risks Related to Investing in Our Common Stock
Our common stock may be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) if we are unable to maintain compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards.
NASDAQ imposes, among other requirements, continued listing standards including minimum bid and public float requirements. If our stock trades at bid prices of less than $1.00 for a period in excess of 30 consecutive business days, NASDAQ could send a deficiency notice to us for not remaining in compliance with the minimum bid listing standards. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, we received such a deficiency notice from NASDAQ. Soon thereafter, in the same fiscal quarter, we received another notice from NASDAQ acknowledging that the closing bid price of our common stock was at $1.00 or greater for 11 consecutive business days and that, accordingly, we had regained compliance with the NASDAQ minimum bid listing standards. If we were unable to meet this or any other applicable requirement of NASDAQ and are unable to regain compliance in the future, NASDAQ may make a determination to delist our common stock.
Any delisting of our common stock could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock and the market price of our common stock could decrease. Furthermore, if our common stock were delisted it could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and/or result in the loss of confidence by investors, customers, suppliers and employees.
There have been no other material changes to the risk factors identified in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024.
