Reference is made to the Form 8-K filed by GameStop Corp. (the “Company”) on November 14, 2017 reporting the reassignment of the principal executive officer responsibilities of the Company from J. Paul Raines to Daniel A. DeMatteo in light of a medical event experienced by Mr. Raines.

On January 31, 2018, Mr. Raines notified the Company that, in order to focus on his health and family, he has decided to resign as a director, effective immediately.
