Proxy Access RESPONDING TO STOCKHOLDER ACTIVISTS • Activists have called on us to issue a report related to gun safety measures and mitigation of harm associated with gun products, including: • Evidence of monitoring of violent events associated with our products. • Efforts we are undertaking to research and produce safer guns and gun products. • Assessment of corporate reputation and financial risks related to gun violence. • The Board of Directors strongly recommends a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Proponent mischaracterizes and misstates many facts. In addition: • Monitoring requested is unrealistic, not feasible, and would not prevent misuse of products • We sell legally to FFL’s, we do not transfer directly to consumers • Our products have been in the channel since 1852 • More effective is our collaboration with enforcement agencies (e.g. ATF, police, etc.) • Such a report would in no way advance gun safety and is unnecessary as we have long undertaken numerous, readily apparent efforts and activities to advocate the safe and legal use of our products • Safety locks with every firearm, safety manuals, training programs, NSSF’s Project Childsafe, Don’t Lie for the Other Guy, Operation Secure Store, Suicide Prevention • “Smart gun” technology is not fully developed or available, has not been employed by law enforcement, would not be used by consumers, and requires expertise that is not in our domain • Corporate reputational and financial risks of being a firearm manufacturer are readily apparent and understood by most people. For those less familiar, these risks are detailed in our securities filings. © 2017 AMERICAN OUTDOOR BRANDS CORP. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 35

GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION    In this presentation, certain non-GAAP financial measures, including “non-GAAP net income,” “Adjusted EBITDAS,” and “free cash flow” are presented. From time-to-time, the company considers and uses these supplemental measures of operating performance in order to provide the reader with an improved understanding of underlying performance trends. The company believes it is useful for itself and the reader to review, as applicable, both (1) GAAP measures that include (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (ii) transition costs, (iii) acquisition-related costs, (iv) fair value inventory step-up, (v) the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, (vi) net cash provided by operating activities, (vii) net cash used in investing activities, (viii) receipts from note receivable, (ix) interest expense (x) income tax expense, (xi) depreciation and amortization, (xii) stock-based compensation expenses, and (xiii) changes in contingent consideration; and (2) the non-GAAP measures that exclude such information. The company presents these non-GAAP measures because it considers them an important    supplemental measure of its performance. The company’s definition of these adjusted financial measures may differ from similarly named measures used by others. The company believes these measures facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by eliminating potential differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s GAAP measures. The principal limitations of these measures are that they do not reflect the company’s actual expenses and may thus have the effect of inflating its financial measures on a GAAP basis.    © 2017 AMERICAN OUTDOOR BRANDS CORP.
