(18) Merger with Great Outdoors Group

On December 21, 2020, Sportsman’s Warehouse entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Great Outdoors Group, LLC, (“Great Outdoors Group”) and Phoenix Merger Sub I. Inc., (“Merger Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into Sportsman’s Warehouse (the “Merger”), with Sportsman’s Warehouse continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great Outdoors Group. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Sportsman’s Warehouse common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than such Shares held by (i) Great Outdoors Group, Merger Subsidiary, or any other subsidiary of Great Outdoors Group, (ii) Sportsman’s Warehouse or its subsidiaries, as treasury stock or (iii) stockholders of Sportsman’s Warehouse who properly exercised their appraisal rights for such Shares under the Delaware General Corporation Law) will automatically be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $18.00 per Share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

The Merger Agreement has been unanimously adopted by the board of directors of Sportsman’s Warehouse, and the stockholders of Sportsman’s Warehouse approved the Merger at the special stockholders meeting held on March 23, 2021. Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of several conditions, including: (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period (and any extensions thereof) relating to the Merger under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”); (ii) the absence of any order, injunction, or other judgment by any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the Merger; (iii) the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties (subject to certain qualifications); (iv) each party’s performance in all material respects of its obligations contained in the Merger Agreement; and (v) the absence of a material adverse effect on Sportsman’s Warehouse.

Assuming receipt of required clearance pursuant to the HSR Act and timely satisfaction of other conditions to closing, we currently expect the closing of the Merger to occur in the second half of calendar year 2021.
