Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation announced on October 2, 2025, the successful completion of its previously announced merger with a partnership comprised of Worldwide Golf and Capitol Hill Group. This transaction follows the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of Big 5’s stockholders.
As a result of the merger, Big 5 stockholders are entitled to receive $1.45 per share in cash. This cash consideration represents a premium of approximately 36% to Big 5’s 60-day volume weighted average trading price prior to the initial announcement of the transaction.
With the merger consummated, Big 5 will now operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the acquiring partnership. The company's common stock will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, effectively transitioning Big 5 into a private company. This marks a new chapter for the sporting goods retailer, leveraging the combined financial resources and retail expertise of its new owners.
