ITEM 7.01.    REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
 
Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. (the "Company") was named the successful bidder in the bankruptcy auction for The Sports Authority's ("TSA") intellectual property assets and the right to acquire 31 store leases. The Company has agreed to pay $15 million for the intellectual property assets and $8 million plus cure costs for the right to acquire the store leases. Intellectual property assets include the name "The Sports Authority", TSA's domain names, TSA's owned trademarks and customer information. The naming rights for the Sports Authority Field at Mile High are not included in the intellectual property assets to be acquired by the Company. The Company's rights with respect to the store leases allow the Company a period of time to determine whether it will accept or reject any particular store lease, thus providing the Company time and optionality to determine which TSA store locations it will ultimately assume. Consummation of the transaction is subject to execution of purchase documents consistent with the bid, final approval from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and satisfaction of closing conditions. The bankruptcy court's hearing to consider approval of the sales is currently scheduled for July 15, 2016.
