     On July 22, 2004, The Finish Line, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Class A and Class B common stock. The quarterly dividend will be payable on September 15, 2004, to shareholders of record on September 1, 2004, and on a quarterly basis thereafter.

     The Company also announced that its Board of Directors today authorized a new stock repurchase program to repurchase up to 2.5 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

This change will be accomplished through a merger of the Company with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company which was recently formed as an Indiana corporation and shall survive the merger and be the vehicle to effect the reincorporation.
