This Amendment No. 3 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended (the Statement) (originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2004 and as amended by Amendment No. 1 on July 12, 2004 and Amendment No. 2 on July 21, 2004) relates to an offer by Diamondbacks Acquisition Inc., an Indiana corporation (Purchaser) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dicks Sporting Goods, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Dicks or the Parent) to purchase all of the outstanding common stock, no par value per share (the Shares), of Galyans Trading Company, Inc., an Indiana corporation (Galyans or the Company) at a purchase price of $16.75 per share, net to the seller in cash and without interest thereon, upon the terms and conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 29, 2004 (as amended, the Offer to Purchase), a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the original filing of the Statement, and the related letter of transmittal and the instructions thereto, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the to the original filing of the Statement (which, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the Offer). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase or in the Statement.
Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds
Item 7 of the Statement, which incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, is hereby amended as follows:
1. The Summary Term Sheet in the Offer to Purchase is amended by supplementing the disclosures contained under the heading Conditions and Termination by inserting after the first full paragraph on page Q-3, a new paragraph as follows: The offer is not conditioned on Dicks obtaining financing. Dicks has renegotiated its senior secured credit facility, so that it is amended and restated in its entirety subject to Dicks meeting specified conditions to the amendment taking effect which conditions are set forth in the amended credit agreement. Upon effectiveness, the amended credit agreement increases the facility to $350 million in availability and permits it to be used to finance the offer and the merger. See Section 12 Source and Amount of Funds.
2. Section 12 Source and Amount of Funds in the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The Offer is not conditioned upon any financing arrangements.
The Purchaser will need approximately $305 million to purchase all Shares, plus pay for outstanding options under the Companys option plans and rights under the Companys employee stock purchase plan and to pay related fees and expenses. Dicks and Purchaser have amended and restated their existing senior secured credit facility, entered into as of July 26, 2000, among Dicks and certain lenders and General Electric Capital Corporation as agent, in its entirety so as to provide for revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $350 million. In total, including the potential repayment of the Companys indebtedness, approximately $373 million is required to fund and consummate the Offer and the Merger.
As of May 29, 2004, Dicks had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the amount of $162 million.
The Purchasers source of funds for the Offer is contributions or intercompany loans from Dicks. Dicks expects, based upon the combination of internally available cash and borrowings under an amended revolving line of credit, to have sufficient cash on hand at the expiration of the Offer to contribute or lend to Purchaser to pay the offer price for all Shares in the Offer.
On July 28, 2004, Dicks amended and restated in its entirety its revolving line of credit (subject to Dicks meeting specified conditions to the amendment taking effect which conditions are set forth in the amended credit agreement), among Dicks, certain lenders and General Electric Capital Corporation as agent. This second amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility provides for revolving loans in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to $350 million, including up to $75 million in the form of letters of credit. In addition to cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on hand, Dicks intends to use borrowings under it to purchase all the Shares, to pay for outstanding options and rights under the Company employee stock purchase plan, to pay related fees and expenses and to cover the Companys indebtedness for borrowed money. On June 14, 2004, Dicks
obtained a waiver under its previous senior secured revolving credit facility to permit Dicks and Diamondbacks to enter into the Merger Agreement and the Shareholder Tender Agreement.
While working with its lenders to amend and restate its credit facility, Dicks also negotiated with another lender to provide an alternative source of financing to be used in lieu of any expanded or replaced credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation. As a result, Dicks obtained a commitment from Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation (Merrill Lynch) to provide a senior secured interim loan facility to Dicks in the aggregate amount of up to $175 million. Dicks currently has no intention to enter into any revolving credit facility with Merrill Lynch, but instead to rely on the funds obtained from its amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility with General Electric Capital Corporation and its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to fund the purchase of the Shares and complete the Offer and the Merger.
Description of Second Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
The following is a description of the terms of Dicks new amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility which will become effective upon the closing date of the tender offer. A copy of the second amended and restated credit agreement executed on July 28, 2004 is filed as an exhibit to this Amendment to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Dicks pursuant to Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act with the SEC in connection with the Offer. Reference is made to such exhibit for a more complete description of the proposed terms and conditions of the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility, and this summary description is qualified in its entirety by such document.
The availability under Dicks amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility is generally limited to the lesser of 70% of Dicks eligible inventory or 85% of Dicks inventorys liquidation value, in each case net of specified reserves and less any letters of credit outstanding.
Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility currently accrues, at Dicks option, at a rate based on either:
the prime corporate lending rate or
at the LIBOR rate plus 1.25% to 1.75% based on
the level of our total borrowings during the prior three months.
The amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility matures on May 30, 2008. The amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility contains both conditions precedent that must be satisfied for the amendment to become effective and for Dicks to borrow as well as affirmative and negative covenants to which Dicks and its subsidiaries, which will include Galyans and its subsidiaries following the successful completion of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger, must adhere.

Conditions precedent to subsequent borrowings or issuances of letters of credit include items (xi) through (xiv) of the preceding sentence.
The affirmative covenants include (i) delivery of financial statements and other information, including providing further assurance and appraisals, (ii) payment of obligations, (iii) continuation of business, (iv) maintenance of existence, (v) compliance with laws, leases and material contractual obligations, (vi) maintenance of property and insurance and books and records, (vii) use of proceeds and (viii) actions to complete the Offer and consummate the Merger.

| enter into or be a party to any lending, borrowing or other commercial transactions with subsidiaries, affiliates or its employees |
| create or permit to exist liens on its properties in excess of certain specified amounts; |

| cancel or terminate any material contracts. |
The amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility imposes the following additional obligations and restrictions (with certain limited exceptions), among others, on Dicks, unless a waiver or amendment is obtained:
Indebtedness. Except as permitted in Dicks amended and restated senior secured revolving credit agreement, neither Dicks nor any of its subsidiaries will be permitted to create, incur, assume, guarantee or permit to exist (i) any indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or services, (ii) any obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, (iii) any indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreements with respect to property acquired by Dicks or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) certain capital lease obligations, (v) certain guaranteed indebtedness, (vi) any obligations of Dicks or any subsidiary of Dicks under any interest rate swap agreement, interest rate cap agreement, interest rate collar agreement, interest rate option contract, foreign exchange contract, currency swap agreement, futures contract, option contract, synthetic cap, commodity purchase or option agreements or other similar agreement or contract designed to protect Dicks or any of its subsidiaries against fluctuations in interest rates, currency values or commodity prices, as the case may be, or other hedging or derivative agreements, (vii) any indebtedness referred to
above secured by (or for which the holder of such indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any lien upon or in property (including accounts and contract rights) owned by Dicks or any of Dicks subsidiaries, even though they have not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (viii) any guarantees or other obligations to make loans or advances to another person.
Dicks amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility, permits the following types of indebtedness: (i) indebtedness related to deferred taxes, (ii) subordinated loans from or among Dicks and its subsidiaries, made after the merger between Diamondbacks and Galyans, (iii) indebtedness under interest rate agreements that are non-speculative and do not involve commodities options or futures contracts, (iv) intercompany loans, by Dicks to Diamondbacks for the purpose of purchasing the Shares, and by Dicks to Galyans for the purpose of paying off Galyans existing credit agreement and providing Galyans working capital up to a specified amount, (v) non-cash obligations for construction in progress, (vi) trade payables, (vii) certain leasing transactions, (viii) certain existing obligations, and (ix) other secured and unsecured indebtedness up to specified amounts.
Acquisitions. Other than the Offer and the Merger, neither Dicks nor its subsidiaries are permitted, directly or indirectly without obtaining a consent under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility, to merge, consolidate or acquire non-subsidiary entities, assets or capital stock of any entity or form, acquire or hold any subsidiary (except certain currently permitted holdings) except that Dicks (so long as no default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a result of such merger) may merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary with Dicks as the surviving corporation.
Restricted Payments. Neither Dicks nor any subsidiary will be permitted to declare or pay any cash dividend on, or make any payment on account of, the purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of, any Dicks capital stock or the capital stock of any of its subsidiaries, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, or set apart assets for a sinking or other analogous fund for the purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of payments under the currently existing subordinated notes.
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Dicks is obligated to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio, of not less than 1.0 to 1.0, as calculated in accordance with the terms and definitions determining such ratio contained in the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility.
Defaults. Dicks amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility also contains customary events of default, including a cross-default to certain other debt, breaches of representations and warranties, change of control events and breaches of covenants.
Security. The obligations of Dicks under the amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility are secured under various collateral documents (including a security agreement, pledge agreement, blocked account agreements, concentration account agreement, disbursement account agreements, and a trademark security agreement) by interests in substantially all of Dicks personal property (excluding store and distribution center equipment and fixtures), including the pledge of the stock of Dicks wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Galyans and its subsidiaries upon completion of the Offer and consummation of the Merger.
3. On page 44 of the Offer to Purchase, under the heading Fees and Expenses, the second full paragraph is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: Merrill Lynch & Co. has also provided financial advisory services to Dicks in connection with the Offer and the Merger. Merrill Lynch had agreed to provide certain financing in connection with the transaction, if necessary. However, since Dicks should receive adequate financing to complete the Offer and the Merger under its amended and restated senior secured revolving credit facility entered into with General Electric Capital Corporation, there should be no need to for Dicks to enter into any credit facility with Merrill Lynch. See Section 12 Source and Amount of Funds. Dicks has agreed to indemnify Merrill Lynch and related parties against certain liabilities in connection with its engagement of Merrill Lynch and its affiliates, including certain liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws.
