The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, (1) there being validly tendered and not withdrawn a number of Shares that represents an amount equal to a number of Shares that (including the shares tendered under the Shareholder Tender Agreement entered into with Dick’s, Purchaser and certain holders of Galyan’s common stock (the “Shareholder Tender Agreement”)) immediately prior to the acceptance for payment of Galyan’s common stock pursuant to the Offer represents at least a majority of the sum of (A) the aggregate number of Galyan’s common shares outstanding immediately prior to the acceptance of Galyan’s common stock pursuant to the Offer plus (B) the aggregate number of Galyan’s common stock issuable upon the exercise of any option, warrant, other right to acquire capital stock of Galyan’s or other security exercisable or convertible for Galyan’s common stock or other capital stock of Galyan’s outstanding immediately prior to the acceptance of Galyan’s common stock pursuant to the Offer), and (2) any applicable waiting period (and any extensions thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer and the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended having expired or been terminated. The Offer also is subject to other conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. See Section 14 — “Conditions of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase.

The Offer is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2004, by and among Galyan’s, Dick’s and Purchaser (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, for the making of the Offer by Purchaser, and further provides that, following the completion of the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with the Indiana Business Corporation Law, Purchaser will be merged with and into Galyan’s (the “Merger”). Following the effective time of the Merger, Galyan’s will continue as the surviving corporation and become a wholly owned subsidiary of Dick’s and the separate corporate existence of Purchaser will cease.
