Dick’s Sporting Goods said Thursday it plans to acquire rival Foot Locker as it looks to expand its international presence, win over a new set of consumers and corner the Nike sneaker market. Under the terms of the agreement, Dick’s will use a combination of cash-on-hand and new debt to acquire Foot Locker for $2.4 billion. Foot Locker shareholders can receive either $24 in cash – a roughly 66% premium of Foot Locker’s average share price over the last 60-days – or 0.1168 shares of Dick’s stock. Foot Locker CEO Mary Dillon has been undertaking an ambitious turnaround at the footwear retailer, and while there have been signs of improvement, larger market conditions like tariffs and consumer softness have weighed on the company’s stock, making the company a potential takeover target.

Dick’s Sporting Goods is buying the struggling footwear chain Foot Locker for about $2.4 billion, the second buyout of a major footwear company in as many weeks as business leaders struggle with uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Dick’s said Thursday that it expects to run Foot Locker as a standalone unit and keep the Foot Locker brands, which include Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS and Japanese sneaker brand atmos. “Sports and sports culture continue to be incredibly powerful, and with this acquisition, we’ll create a new global platform that serves those ever evolving needs through iconic concepts consumers know and love, enhanced store designs and omnichannel experiences, as well as a product mix that appeals to our different customer bases,” Dick’s CEO Lauren Hobart said in a statement.

Dick’s said it would pay $24 a share in cash for Foot Locker, representing a nearly 90% premium to Foot Locker’s share price, which has dropped sharply this year. Or, shareholders can elect to receive 0.1168 share of Dick’s common stock for each share of Foot Locker they own. Foot Locker shares soared in morning trading, up more than 80% after closing at $12.87 on Wednesday. Dick’s said it expects to operate Foot Locker as a stand-alone business unit within its portfolio and maintain the Foot Locker brands. It intends to finance the deal with cash and new debt.
