22 May 2026 Foot Locker, Inc.SEC: Foot Locker pays 148,000 US dollars over award waivers in separation agreements USARetaliation against whistleblowers €127,641

From July 2020 to June 2024, around 148 departing employees – including managers and staff from finance, legal and supply chain – signed separation agreements containing a waiver of SEC whistleblower awards. Foot Locker had itself phased out the clause from March 2024 but had not amended all templates; the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) imposed 148,000 US dollars.

What organisations can take from it

When cleaning up clauses, all contract templates must be covered – a single forgotten template is enough for a violation.
