(e)           On June 6, 2012, the stockholders of Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. 2012 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”).  The 2012 Plan had been previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on March 14, 2012, subject to stockholder approval.  The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other named executive officers are eligible for both equity and non-equity based awards pursuant to the 2012 Plan.  The 2012 Plan was summarized under the caption “ITEM 2 — APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S 2012 STOCK AND INCENTIVE PLAN” in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 6, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2012 (the “Proxy Statement”), which summary is incorporated herein by reference.  The 2012 Plan replaces the Dick’s Sporting Goods 2002 Stock and Incentive Plan, and no further awards will be made under the 2002 Plan.  A copy of the 2012 Plan, as amended to reflect certain administrative changes, is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On June 6, 2012, the Board’s Compensation Committee approved a new form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement and Stock Option Award Agreement in connection with the 2012 Plan.  The form of Restricted Stock Award Agreement sets forth the material terms of an award of shares of restricted stock, including the forfeiture restrictions implemented with respect to the grant of shares of restricted stock and any cash or in-kind dividends declared prior to vesting of the shares, the applicable vesting terms and the treatment of unvested shares of restricted stock upon termination of employment.  The form of Stock Option Award Agreement sets forth the material terms of an award of stock options, including applicable vesting terms, exercise price, manner of exercise and treatment of unvested options upon termination of employment.  The forms of Restricted Stock Award Agreement and Stock Option Award Agreement are filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 5.03  AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR

 

(a)           On June 6, 2012, the Board adopted amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.  The amendments update the advance notice procedures relating to stockholder proposals.  These updates include requirements for the proponent to disclose the proponent’s beneficial ownership, update information provided with respect to the proposal and attend the stockholder meeting.  The amendments also reflect changes in procedure to allow for use of electronic mediums and certain other administrative changes.  The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended, are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.
