Statement in Opposition to the Stockholder Proposal
GameStop does not set specific minimum qualifications for nominees for director and does not have a policy regarding the consideration of diversity for such nominees. We do not believe diversity, whether of gender, race/ethnicity or any other criteria, is a meaningful basis by which to identify and assess the qualifications of director nominees nor do we seek director nominees purely for the sake of diversity. Instead, we seek nominees for director who possess business acumen, high integrity, an ownership mentality, and a deep genuine interest in GameStop. Our Board is composed of individuals who exhibit these traits.
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE AGAINST PROPOSAL 4 —THE STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REQUESTING A BOARD SKILLS AND DIVERSITY MATRIX. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THIS PROXY STATEMENT WILL BE VOTED AGAINST THIS PROPOSAL UNLESS A VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL OR ABSTENTION IS SPECIFICALLY INDICATED.

This means if you don't vote, you will automatically have voted against any DEI requirements.
Opt-in instead of opt-out. Genius.
