Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard;
Transfer of Listing.
On August 25, 2005, Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (the Company) received notice from the
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the Panel) that the Panel had granted the Companys request
to extend the deadline for the Company to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended January 2, 2005 (the fiscal 2004 Form 10-K) and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarters ended April 3, 2005 (the first quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q) and July 3, 2005
(the second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q) and to continue the listing of the Companys common
stock on the Nasdaq National Market pending those filings. The Panel granted the Company an
extension until August 31, 2005 to file its fiscal 2004
Form 10-K and an extension until September 30, 2005 to file
its first quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q and its second quarter fiscal
2005 Form 10-Q. These dates are an additional extension from the August 12, 2005 extension date previously
granted by the Panel for the Company to file its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K and its first quarter fiscal
2005 Form 10-Q. As previously announced, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq requirements
for continued listing as a result of its failure to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K, its first quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q and its second
quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q.
In granting this additional extension, the Panel advised the Company that in the event that
the Company is unable to file its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K by August 31, 2005, no further requests for
extension to file such Form 10-K would be considered.
The Company also received a notice on August 25, 2005 of a determination by Nasdaqs Listing
Qualifications Staff that it fails to comply with Nasdaq listing standards set forth in Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to the delayed filing of its second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q
with the SEC and that this deficiency is an additional basis for delisting the Companys securities
from the Nasdaq National Market. The Company filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC on August 15, 2005 to
report that it was unable to file its second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q by the August 12, 2005
deadline. The Company previously announced that it had notified Nasdaq of its inability to timely
file the second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q and had requested an extension of time to file such
Form 10-Q. As described above, the Panel considered this request and granted the Company an
extension to September 30, 2005 to file its second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q.
In the event that the Company is unable to file its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K by August 31, 2005,
or its first quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q and its second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q by
September 30, 2005, the Companys common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market.
The Company issued a press release on August 26, 2005 regarding these matters. A copy of the
press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

RECEIVES NOTIFICATION FROM NASDAQ REGARDING SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q |
EL SEGUNDO, CA August 26, 2005 Big 5 Sporting Goods Corporation (NASDAQ: BGFVE), a
leading sporting goods retailer, today announced that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the
Panel) has granted the Companys request to extend the deadline for the Company to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2004 (the fiscal 2004 Form 10-K) and its Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the first quarter and second quarter of fiscal 2005 (the first quarter and second
quarter fiscal 2005 Forms 10-Q) and to continue the listing of the Companys common stock on the
Nasdaq National Market pending those filings. The Panel has granted the Company an extension until
August 31, 2005 to file its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K and an extension until September 30, 2005 to file
its first quarter and second quarter fiscal 2005 Forms 10-Q. These dates are an additional
extension from the August 12, 2005 extension date previously granted by the Panel for the Company
to file its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K and its first quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q. As previously
announced, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq requirements for continued listing as a
result of its failure to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K
and its first quarter and second quarter fiscal 2005 Forms 10-Q.
In granting this additional extension, the Panel advised the Company that in the event that the
Company is unable to file its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K by August 31, 2005, no further requests for
extension to file the Form 10-K would be considered. Work on the review and associated audit of
the Companys fiscal 2004 Form 10-K has been substantially completed, and while no assurances can
be given, the Company expects to be able to file its Form 10-K by August 31, 2005. The Company
also expects that the review of its first quarter and second quarter fiscal 2005 Forms 10-Q will be
completed, and that those reports will be filed, soon after the Form 10-K is filed.
The Company also received a notice on August 25, 2005 of a determination by Nasdaqs Listing
Qualifications Staff that it fails to comply with Nasdaq listing standards set forth in Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) due to the delayed filing of its second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q
with the SEC and that this deficiency is an additional basis for delisting its securities from the
Nasdaq National Market. The Company filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC on August 15, 2005 to report
that it was unable to file its second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q by the August 12, 2005
deadline. The Company previously announced that it had notified Nasdaq of its inability to timely
file the second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q and had requested an extension of time to file this
Form 10-Q. As discussed above, the Panel considered this request and granted the Company an
extension to September 30, 2005 to file its second quarter fiscal 2005 Form 10-Q.
In the event that the Company is unable to file its fiscal 2004 Form 10-K by August 31, 2005, or
its first quarter and second quarter fiscal 2005 Forms 10-Q by September 30, 2005, the Companys
shares may be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market.
