Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 15, 2010, GameStop Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has authorized $500 million in additional repurchase funds of which $300 million will be used in the Company’s share repurchase plan and $200 million will be used to retire the Company’s Senior Notes due 2012. This program is incremental to the initial $300 million stock repurchase plan announced in January 2010 and completed in the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2010.
Under the repurchase program, the Company may purchase the Company’s Senior Notes due 2012 and/or shares of issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, through open market purchases, debt calls or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other legal requirements. The timing and actual amount of debt or share repurchases will depend on several factors including price, capital availability and other market conditions. This repurchase program does not have any specific limitations and may be suspended or terminated at any time.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company on September 15, 2010 announcing the foregoing is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
