Foot Locker Inc.’s CEO Mary Dillon does not have a golden parachute, sparking speculation about her future after Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc.’s $2.4 billion deal for Foot Locker. Dillon’s total compensation in 2024 was $12.5 million, a 14.9% decline from the previous year. If she leaves within two years of a change of control, she would be entitled to a lump sum of $2.8 million. The Dick’s transaction is subject to shareholder approval and expected to close in the second half of 2025. Foot Locker reported preliminary first quarter results below expectations, with a net loss of $363 million and a 2.6% decrease in comparable sales.

In 2024, Foot Locker posted net income of $12 million on total revenues of $7.99 billion. The merger agreement includes provisions for termination fees if the deal falls through. Foot Locker may have to pay $59.5 million to Dick’s, while Dick’s would owe Foot Locker $95.5 million if the merger is terminated due to regulatory approval issues.
