On September 10, 2024, GameStop Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), filed a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in connection with the Company's "at-the-marketoffering" program (the "Offering") for the offer and sale from time to time through Jefferies LLC (the "Sales Agent") of up to 20,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Shares"), pursuant to the Company's existing Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the "Sales Agreement") with the Sales Agent, dated May 17, 2024. Prior to the date hereof, the Company has sold an aggregate of 120,000,000 shares of its common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.1 billion pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

The Common Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company's automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3filed with the SEC on May 17, 2024, which became effective immediately upon filing, and the Prospectus Supplement.

From time to time during the term of the Sales Agreement, the Company may deliver a placement notice to the Sales Agent specifying the length of the selling period, the amount of Common Shares to be sold, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and the minimum price below which sales may not be made. Upon its acceptance of the placement notice from the Company, the Sales Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to solicit offers to purchase Common Shares, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement, by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), in negotiated transactions or in transactions that are deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in block transactions, sales made directly on the Principal Market (as defined in the Sales Agreement) or sales made into any other existing trading markets of the Common Shares. The Company may instruct the Sales Agent not to sell Common Shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by the Company in any placement notice. The Company or the Sales Agent may suspend the offering of the Common Shares at any time upon proper notice and subject to other conditions.

The Company will pay the Sales Agent a commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of Common Shares. The Sales Agent will be entitled to compensation in an amount up to one and one-halfpercent (1.5%) of the gross sales price of all of the Common Shares sold through it under the Sales Agreement.

Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company also may sell Common Shares to the Sales Agent, as principal for its own account, at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. If the Company sells Common Shares to the Sales Agent, as principal, it will enter into a separate sales agreement with the Sales Agent and the Company will describe such agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

The Offering of Common Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all Common Shares subject to the Sales Agreement or (2) termination of the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Sales Agent or the Company at any time upon ten days' notice, and by the Sales Agent at any time in certain circumstances, including suspension of trading of Common Shares on the NYSE or the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company's business.
