Dear Vista Outdoor Stockholders:

As previously announced on July 30, 2023, Vista Outdoor Inc.

The Special Meeting has been convened for the purpose of stockholders considering and voting on the following proposals.

● A proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 15, 2023 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), among Vista Outdoor, Revelyst, Inc. (“Revelyst”), CSG Elevate II Inc. (“Merger Sub Parent”), CSG Elevate III Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub Parent (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the purposes of specific provisions therein, CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s. (“CSG”), pursuant to which, on the terms and conditions set forth therein and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub will merge with and into Vista Outdoor with Vista Outdoor surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Sub Parent (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the related transaction documents, the “Transaction”) (the “Merger Proposal”);

● A proposal to approve, by advisory (non-binding) vote, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Vista Outdoor’s named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the Merger (the “Advisory Compensation Proposal”); and

● A proposal to approve adjournments of the Special Meeting (i) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is provided to the Vista Outdoor stockholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Special Meeting, (ii) to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) if there are insufficient shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Vista Outdoor represented to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Special Meeting or (iv) to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal” and, together with the Merger Proposal and the Advisory Compensation Proposal, the “Proposals”).

No business will be voted on at the Special Meeting other than the Proposals. For further information with respect to the Proposals, please refer to the proxy statement/prospectus first mailed to stockholders of the Company on or about April 9, 2024 and the various supplements to such proxy statement/prospectus (collectively, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), which have each been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the Internet at www.sec.gov and on the website of the Company, located at www.vistaoutdoor.com.

WHEREAS Company is currently engaged in the Outdoor Products Business and the Company Business;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of that certain Separation Agreement by and between Company and Outdoor Products dated on the date of this Agreement and attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), Company shall effect the Separation (as defined in the Separation Agreement) pursuant to which, among other things, the assets and liabilities of the Outdoor Products Business will be transferred to Outdoor Products and thereby separated from the Company Business;

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger (as defined below), on the Closing Date, Parent and Company shall enter into a subscription agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B to this Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which Parent will subscribe for Company Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof (the “Subscription”);

WHEREAS the parties intend that, following completion of the Pre-Closing Separation and the Subscription, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (i) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company (the “Merger”), with Company surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent and (ii) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger (other than (A) any such shares of Company Common Stock held by Company, its Subsidiaries or by Parent and (B) any Appraisal Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, as an inducement to and condition of Company’s and Outdoor Products’ willingness to enter into this Agreement, Parent has obtained the Financing Commitments.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

(a)            At or before the Closing, each of Company and Parent shall execute and deliver the Subscription Agreement.

(b)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, immediately following the completion of the Internal Transactions, on the Closing Date, but prior to the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall subscribe for the Subscription Amount of Company Common Stock and (ii) immediately following the Subscription, Company shall transfer to Outdoor Products, in exchange for shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock, the Contribution Amount.

(c)          The number of shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock issued to Company pursuant to the Contribution (as defined in the Separation Agreement) shall equal (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date immediately following completion of the Internal Transactions (but excluding all shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and all Appraisal Shares) minus (ii) the number of shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock outstanding at such time, such that the Merger Consideration distributed in accordance with Section 2.03 shall comprise all of the issued and outstanding shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock, all of which shall, immediately prior to such distribution, be held by Company.

Section 1.02.        The Merger.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company.  As a result of the Merger, at the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Company shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger.  Company, as the surviving corporation following the Merger, is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Surviving Corporation”.

Section 1.04.         Effective Time.  On the Closing Date, Company shall file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State, or at such later time as Company and Parent shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL.  The time the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Time”.

ARTICLE II

Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Certificates

Section 2.01.         Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Company, Outdoor Products, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of any shares or securities of Company, Outdoor Products, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a)           each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation;

(b)           each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Company (“Company Common Stock”) that is owned by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Parent (in each case, if any) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(c)           subject to Section 2.03, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and any Appraisal Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive (i) one fully paid and non-assessable share of Outdoor Products Common Stock and (ii) $12.90 (clauses (i) and (ii), together, the “Merger Consideration”).  All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or evidence of shares in book-entry form that, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions to which holders become entitled upon the surrender of such Certificate (or evidence of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with Section 2.03, without interest.  The right of such holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding pursuant to Section 2.06.

Section 2.02.         Agent.  Company and Outdoor Products shall appoint (i) Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (or one of its Affiliates) or (ii) another bank or trust company reasonably approved by Parent, to act as agent for the distribution of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II (the “Agent”) pursuant to the terms of an exchange or paying agent agreement (or similar agreement) among Agent, Company and Outdoor Products, which agreement shall be on terms reasonably acceptable to Company, Outdoor Products and Parent.

Section 2.03.          Distribution of Merger Consideration.

(a)           Deposit of Merger Consideration.  At or prior to the Effective Time, (i) Company shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Agent for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Agent, certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock to be distributed as Merger Consideration (being all of the issued and outstanding shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock at such time, all of which will be held by Company immediately prior to such deposit) and (ii) Outdoor Products shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Agent for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Agent, cash sufficient to pay the cash portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration.  All such Outdoor Products Common Stock and cash deposited with the Agent for purposes of paying the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II is hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Exchange Fund”.

(b)           Letter of Transmittal.  As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Company shall cause the Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock a form of letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) to the Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as Company may reasonably specify), together with instructions thereto.  Prior to

4

causing the Agent to mail the Letter of Transmittal, Company shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the form of Letter of Transmittal and the form of Letter of Transmittal shall be reasonably acceptable to Company and Parent.

(c)           Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange.  Upon (i) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate, the surrender of such Certificate for cancelation to the Agent or (ii) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Agent, in each case together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Agent, the holder of such shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) the Merger Consideration which the holder of such shares of Company Common Stock has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01 and (ii) any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(d).  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Company, the proper Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01 and any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.03(d) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock (or, if such Company Common Stock is held in book-entry form, proper evidence of such transfer) is presented to the Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), each share of Company Common Stock, and any Certificate with respect thereto, shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holders of shares of Company Common Stock were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 2.01 (and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.03(d)).  No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form).

(d)           Treatment of Unexchanged Shares.  No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to any shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) with respect to the shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof until the surrender of such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with this Article II.  Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form), there shall be paid to the holder of the shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock distributed in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock.

(e)           No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.  The shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock distributed and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been distributed and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.  From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f)           No Fractional Shares.  No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Outdoor Products Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01.

(g)         Termination of Merger Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Merger Exchange Fund (including any interest or other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to holders of Company Common Stock for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Outdoor Products, upon demand, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look

5

(f)            Neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to, and Guarantor, Parent and Merger Sub shall not (and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) without the prior written consent of Company, in connection with obtaining any Consents or Governmental Approvals hereunder, or in connection with

41

otherwise complying with any provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, agree or consent to, or offer to agree or consent to, (A) the taking of any action or the imposition of any terms, conditions, limitations or standards of service the effectiveness or consummation of which is not conditional upon the occurrence of the Closing, (B) any amendments or modifications to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (C) any sale, divestiture or disposal of any of the assets, properties, rights or claims of the Outdoor Products Business (other than as expressly contemplated by the Separation Agreement) or any other action, restriction or limitation with respect to the Outdoor Products Business.  Nothing in this Section 6.04 shall be construed to require Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay any consideration to, or grant any accommodations to, any third party from whom any Consent or Governmental Approval is requested.

(g)           Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.04, each of the parties hereto shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, prepare and file with DDTC a 60-day notice pursuant to Section 122.4(b) of the ITAR, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by DDTC in connection with such 60-day notice and (iii) within five calendar days after the Closing, prepare and file with DDTC a notification of changes pursuant to Section 122.4(a) of the ITAR.

Section 6.05.          Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification; Liability Insurance.

(a)          From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to advance expenses as incurred by, and indemnify, exculpate and hold harmless, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or comparable organizational documents of Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof, each present and former director, officer or employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against any Liabilities incurred in connection with any threatened or actual Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time, arising out of, or pertaining to, the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director or officer of another Person and pertaining to matters, acts or omissions existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and the Transactions; provided, that in the case of advancement of expenses, any Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.05. Without limiting the indemnification and other rights provided in this Section 6.05, all rights to indemnification and all limitations on liability existing in favor of the Company Indemnified Parties as provided in any indemnification agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and shall be honored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as if they were the indemnifying party thereunder, without any amendment thereto.

(b)           For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Company (provided that Parent or the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the Company Indemnified Parties) with respect to claims against the Company Indemnified Parties arising from facts or events which occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including the approval of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and the Transactions); provided, however, that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to expend, on an annual basis, an amount in excess of 300% of the current annual premium paid as of the date hereof by Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and, if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap.  In lieu of the foregoing, Parent or Company may (and at the request of Parent, Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six-year “tail” policy under Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, in the aggregate, does not exceed the Premium Cap.

42

(c)         The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.05 shall not be terminated or modified after the Effective Time in a manner so as to adversely affect any Company Indemnified Party or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.05 without the prior written consent of the affected Company Indemnified Party or affected person.

(d)         The provisions of this Section 6.05 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.  If Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or any of its successors or assigns, consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger, transfers all or substantially all its assets to any other entity or engages in any similar transaction, then in each case, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

Section 6.06.         Fees and Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Transaction Document, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

Section 6.07.         Public Announcements.  Company and Outdoor Products, on the one hand, and Guarantor, Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall consult with each other and shall mutually agree upon any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and agreement, other than any press release or other public statement that only contains information and statements that have been previously approved by the parties pursuant to this Section 6.07, except as may be required by applicable Law or court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any U.S. national securities exchange, in which case the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use reasonable best efforts to consult in good faith with the other parties before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement.  The parties hereto agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions following execution of this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed by the parties hereto.

Section 6.08.        Section 16 Matters.  Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions or dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect thereto), in each case resulting from the Transactions, by each individual who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Company to be exempt under Rule 16b‑3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.09.          Covenants of Company Regarding Non-Solicitation.

(a)          Company agrees that, from the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.09, Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees and shall direct its and their respective other Representatives not to, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly assist, facilitate or encourage (including by providing information) any inquiries regarding, or the making or completion of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal or (B) enter into, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any non-public information in connection with, or afford any other Person access to the facilities, properties, Contracts and Records of Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with, or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, a Company Acquisition Proposal or any proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal.  Immediately following the date of this Agreement, Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees to, immediately cease any solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal, request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person in connection with a potential Company Acquisition Proposal and immediately terminate all physical and electronic dataroom access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.09(a) by any Representative of Company or its Subsidiaries shall constitute a breach of this Section 6.09(a) by Company.

43

(b)          Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6.09(a), if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, Company or any of its Representatives receives a bona fide Company Acquisition Proposal, which Company Acquisition Proposal did not result from any breach in any material respect of this Section 6.09, (i) Company may contact and engage in discussions with such Person or group of Persons making such Company Acquisition Proposal or its or their Representatives solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof or to request that any Company Acquisition Proposal made orally be made in writing or to notify such Person or group of Persons or its or their Representatives of the provisions of this Section 6.09 and (ii) if the Board of Directors of Company or any duly authorized committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (A) such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then Company and its Representatives may (x) enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Person or group of Persons making the Company Acquisition Proposal and furnish, pursuant to such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that Company shall, substantially simultaneously with any non-public information concerning the Company Business that was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives being provided to such Person or group of Persons, provide such information to Parent and (y) subject to the execution of an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Company Acquisition Proposal.

(c)           Company shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) notify Parent in writing in the event that Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives receives a Company Acquisition Proposal, whether or not in breach of Section 6.09(a) or Section 6.09(b), or any inquiry, request, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal and shall disclose to Parent the material terms and conditions of any such Company Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, request, proposal or offer and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such Company Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, request, proposal or offer and a copy of such Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, request, proposal or offer if made in writing (or, with respect to oral proposals, a written summary thereof).  Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments with respect to any such Company Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer (including any material changes thereto) on a prompt basis (and in any event within 48 hours), including providing copies of all written proposals, documents, agreements or correspondence (or, with respect to oral proposals, a written summary thereof) that identify or set forth any additional material terms or conditions thereof and are delivered to Company or its Representatives.  Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal that, by its terms, limits Company’s ability to comply with its obligations to keep Parent informed pursuant to this Section 6.09(c).

(d)           Except as permitted by Section 6.09(e), neither the Board of Directors of Company nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withhold or withdraw (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withhold or withdraw (or modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent), or otherwise fail to include in the S-4, the recommendation by the Board of Directors of Company to the holders of Company Common Stock that they give the Company Stockholder Approval, (B) recommend the approval or adoption of, or approve or adopt, or publicly propose to recommend, approve or adopt or publicly declare advisable, any Company Acquisition Proposal or (C) publicly propose, commit or agree to take any action set forth in the foregoing clause (A) or (B) (it being understood that the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof may (1) make or cause Company to make a customary “stop, look and listen” communication or (2) elect to take no position with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer until the close of business on the tenth Business Day after the commencement of such Company Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14e‑2 under the Exchange Act) (any action described in this clause (i), other than the actions in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), being referred to as an “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) execute or enter into (or cause or permit Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into) any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar Contract implementing a Company Acquisition Proposal, other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Board of Directors of Company or any duly authorized committee thereof may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Board of Directors of

44

Company or any committee thereof has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (i) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (ii) in the case of any Company Adverse Recommendation Change not made in response to a Company Acquisition Proposal, such Company Adverse Recommendation Change is in response to an Intervening Event and (iii) in the case of a Company Adverse Recommendation Change made in response to a Company Acquisition Proposal, such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal (and in which event the Board of Directors may, subject to compliance with this Section 6.09(e), cause Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii) in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Company Superior Proposal); provided, however, that the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof shall not, and shall cause Company not to, (A) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Intervening Event or Company Superior Proposal or (B) cause Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii) unless (1) Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and furnishes to Parent a reasonable description of the events or circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including, in the event such action is taken in response to a Company Superior Proposal, the identity of the party making the Company Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions thereof, and attaching a copy of the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Company Superior Proposal is to be consummated), (2) Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents which would result in either (x) the acquisition of the Company Business as contemplated by this Agreement or, (y) at Parent’s sole discretion, the acquisition of both Company and Outdoor Products and the Company Business and the Outdoor Products Business, (3) following the end of such notice period, the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof shall have considered in good faith any such binding offer from Parent and shall have determined, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law if the revisions proposed in such binding offer were to be given effect and, in the case of clause (iii) above, the Company Acquisition Proposal would continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed in such binding offer were to be given effect and (4) in the event of any material change to the terms of such Company Superior Proposal (including any change to pricing or any other material amendment or revision), Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (1) above and the notice period shall have recommenced, except that the notice period shall be at least three Business Days (rather than at least four Business Days as otherwise contemplated by clause (1) above).

(f)            Nothing in this Section 6.09 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Company or the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e‑2(a), Rule 14d‑9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M‑A promulgated under the Exchange Act and (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Company that is required by applicable Law; provided, however, that neither Company nor the Board of Directors of Company or any duly authorized committee thereof shall, except as expressly permitted by, and pursuant to, Section 6.09(e), effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, including in any disclosure document or communication filed, publicly issued or made in connection with compliance with such requirements.

Section 6.10.          Tax Matters.

(a)            For United States federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that, in connection with the Closing: (i) the receipt by holders of the Merger Consideration in exchange for their Company Common Stock (or, in the case of any Appraisal Shares, the receipt by the holders of such Appraisal Shares of the fair value, together with interest, in respect of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or any settlement consideration in lieu thereof) be treated as an exchange to which Sections 302(a) and (b)(3) of the Code applies; (ii) the Merger be treated as a distribution by Company of the Merger Consideration to which Section 311 of the Code applies; (iii) the fair market value of the Company Common Stock treated as exchanged (as described in the foregoing clause (i)) be reduced by the Subscription Amount for purposes of computing the Tax described in Section 4501(a) of the Code, in accordance with Section 4501(c)(3) of the Code; and (iv) the taxable year of the consolidated group for U.S. federal income tax purposes of which Company is the common parent shall terminate at the end of the Closing Date (the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), together with the intended Tax treatment set forth on Schedule 1.01(a) of the Separation Agreement, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).  The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other and use

45

reasonable best efforts to cause the applicable Transactions to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, including by refraining from any action that such party knows is reasonably likely to prevent the Intended Tax Treatment.  The parties hereto shall not take any position inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment for any Tax purpose unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

(b)           Parent shall not make, and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Company, to not make, any Tax election in connection with the Transactions, including elections under Section 336(e) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502‑36(d)(6)(i)(B), without the prior written consent of Outdoor Products; provided that (i) it shall not be a breach of this covenant if an election under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502‑36(d)(6)(v)(C) is deemed to be made and (ii) actions taken in accordance with Section 4.11 of the Separation Agreement shall not be a breach of this covenant.

(c)           On the Closing Date, the Company shall provide a certification complying with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h) to Parent to the effect that the Company has not been a United States real property holding corporation for the five-year period ending on the Closing Date.

(d)           Company shall deliver to Parent, at or prior to the Closing, a properly executed IRS Form W-9 with respect to (i) Federal Cartridge Corporation, a Minnesota corporation; (ii) Ammunition Operations LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and (iii) Vista Outdoor Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Section 6.11.          Sole Stockholder Approval.  Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall execute and deliver a written consent adopting this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 6.12.          Transaction Litigation.

(a)          From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, Company shall provide Parent with reasonably prompt notice of any litigation commenced or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened against Company or its directors relating to the Transactions, brought by any holder of Company Common Stock and keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof and shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof (including by promptly furnishing to Parent and its representatives such information relating to such proceeding as may be reasonably requested).

(b)          Unless the Board of Directors of Company has made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of (i) any litigation against Company or its directors relating to the Transactions brought by any holder of Company Common Stock and (ii) any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL.  Without limiting in any way the parties’ obligations under Section 6.04, each of Company and Parent shall cooperate, shall cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to cooperate, in each case in the defense against such litigation or appraisal demand.  For purposes of this paragraph, “participate” means Parent being kept reasonably apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to any such litigation or appraisal demands (to the extent attorney-client privilege between Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such litigation or appraisal demands but will not be afforded any decision making power or other authority over such litigation or appraisal demands.

Section 6.13.          Financing.

(a)          Each of Guarantor, Parent and Merger Sub shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, as promptly as reasonably practicable until the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the valid termination of this Agreement, all things necessary, proper or advisable and reasonably within their control to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments, including using reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect and comply with the obligations under the Financing Commitments, (ii) promptly negotiate and enter into definitive documents with respect to the Financing on the terms and subject only to the

conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments (or on terms and subject to conditions, including any terms and conditions that could affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, not materially less favorable to Guarantor, Parent and Merger Sub than the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments taken as a whole), (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates in the Financing Commitments and the definitive documents relating to the Financing (including delivering all financial statements of Guarantor to the extent required by the Financing Commitments), (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including using reasonable best efforts (which shall include taking all actions reasonably within its control) to cause the Debt Financing Sources and the other Persons committing to fund the Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing, (v) enforce its rights and remedies under the Financing Commitments and the definitive documents relating to the Financing and (vi) comply with its covenants and other obligations under the Financing Commitments and the definitive documents relating to the Financing.  Each of Guarantor, Parent and Merger Sub shall not (and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to), without the prior written consent of Company, agree to or permit any termination of or amendment or modification to be made to, or grant any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents relating to the Financing if such termination, amendment, modification or waiver would (A) reduce (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) to an amount less than the amount required by Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger Transactions at the Closing, (B)(1) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or (2) otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the Financing, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents relating to the Financing, in each case in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date, (C) shorten the expiration date of the Financing Commitments or (D) adversely affect the ability of Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub to enforce their rights and remedies against any other party to any Financing Commitment or the definitive documents with respect to the Financing; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no consent from Company or any other party hereto shall be required for (I) any amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, replacement, supplement or other modification of, or waiver or consent under, the Debt Financing Commitments that is limited to adding lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Financing Commitments as of the date of this Agreement (including replacement of a Debt Financing Source thereunder) or (II) implementation or exercise of any economic “flex” provision contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments.  Parent shall promptly deliver to Company copies of any amendment, modification or waiver to or under any Financing Commitment or the definitive documents relating to the Financing.  Parent or its applicable Affiliate will fully pay, or cause to be paid, all commitment and other fees under or arising pursuant to the Debt Financing Commitments as and when they become due.

(b)           (i) Parent shall keep Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and shall provide to Company copies (including drafts) of the material definitive documents for the Debt Financing as soon as practicable. Parent shall promptly notify Company (A) of any actual or threatened in writing material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment or definitive documents related to the Financing of which Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any actual or threatened in writing material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Commitments or any definitive document related to the Financing and (C) if and when Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware that any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments may not be available in the amounts necessary to meet the obligations of Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, as provided in this Agreement, on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents related to the Financing.  Parent shall promptly provide any information reasonably requested by Company relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (if applicable).

  (i)       If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments (after taking into account economic “flex” terms), (A) Parent shall promptly notify Company in writing and (B) Guarantor, Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and negotiate and enter into definitive documents with respect to, alternative financing, including from alternative sources, on

47

Commercially Reasonable Terms (as defined below) in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Financing (“Alternative Financing”); provided, that the failure to obtain alternative financing shall not relieve Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub of any obligations hereunder.  Parent shall deliver to Company complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements (including any Redacted Fee Letters) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any Alternative Financing.

  (ii)       For purposes of this Agreement, (A) references to the “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 6.13 (including any Alternative Financing), (B) references to the “Debt Financing Commitments” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 6.13, (C) references to the “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 6.13 and (D) references to the “Debt Financing Sources” shall include the sources of the Debt Financing as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced by this Section 6.13. “Commercially Reasonable Terms” means debt financing terms available in the market from major international or United States financing institutions to borrowers or issuers with credit ratings comparable to Company (determined after giving pro forma effect to the Merger Transactions) for financing comparable to the type of financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments at the time the Alternative Financing is sought, which shall not be less favorable in any material respect to Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub with respect to conditionality or enforceability.

  (iii)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing herein shall require Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub to (A) pay any fees materially in excess of those contemplated by the Financing or (B) agree to economic terms of the Financing that are materially less favorable to Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub in the aggregate than those contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments (including any economic “flex” provisions therein).

(c)           Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any Representatives retained by Company or any of its Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts to provide, in each case at Parent’s sole cost and expense, such cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent, including (i) participation in a reasonable number of teleconferences, meetings including rating agency meetings, drafting sessions, presentations, road shows and due diligence sessions, in each case upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreeable dates and times, (ii) providing to Parent and the Debt Financing Sources by December 31, 2023, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Required Financial Information, and using reasonable best efforts to furnish Parent and the Debt Financing Sources with such other information regarding Company and the Company Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary or customary for the arrangement or marketing of the Debt Financing, (iii) reasonably assisting Parent and the Debt Financing Sources in the preparation of (A) customary offering materials or information memorandum to be used in a syndication of any portion of the Debt Financing by providing such other pertinent information as may be reasonably requested by Parent, including any such information customarily included in an offering memorandum utilized for sales under Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), (B) materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda and similar documents reasonably required in connection with the Debt Financing and (C) pro forma financial statements (it being understood that Parent, and not Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall be responsible for the preparation of the pro forma financial statements and any other pro forma information, including any pro forma adjustments), (iv) reasonably cooperating with marketing efforts of Parent and the Debt Financing Sources for any portion of the Debt Financing, (v) facilitating the granting of a security interest (and perfection thereof) in collateral, including obtaining releases of existing Liens, provided that no security interest and no release of existing Liens shall be effective until the Closing, (vi) assisting in the preparation, execution and delivery (limited, in the case of execution and delivery, solely to officers continuing with Company and the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing) of one or more credit agreements, indentures, purchase agreements, pledge and security documents and other definitive documentation, in each case as may be reasonably required by Parent; provided that any such agreements, documents and related certificates and instruments shall be subject to the occurrence of the Closing and become effective no earlier than the Closing, (vii) executing and delivering (A) customary authorization letters to the Debt Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information regarding Company to prospective lenders or investors in connection with the Debt Financing and containing a customary representation that the public side versions of such documents do not include material non-public information about Company and its Subsidiaries or their securities, and

financings similar to the Debt Financing (including any offering or private placement of debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A) and (B) attend a reasonable number of accounting due diligence sessions and drafting sessions (which may be virtual) at reasonable times and places, (ix) reasonably cooperating in the completion of a commercial field examination and inventory appraisal of Company and the

applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, and requested by the Debt Financing Sources in writing at least 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 6.13(c) shall require any such cooperation or assistance to the extent that it could result in Company or any of its Subsidiaries being required to (1) pledge any assets as collateral prior to the Effective Time, (2) incur any liability (including payment of fees) in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Effective Time, (3) take any actions to the extent such actions would, in Company’s reasonable judgment, (I) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of

reasonably be expected to subject any director, manager, officer or employee of Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any actual or potential personal liability, (III) conflict with, or result in any

obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any Person under, or result in the creation, prior to the Effective Time, of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, any provision of (x) the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or comparable organizational documents of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (y) any Contract to which Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their respective properties, assets or

risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information or (III) result in the disclosure of trade secrets or competitively sensitive information to third parties, (6)  cause any director, manager or equivalent of Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pass resolutions to approve the Debt Financing or authorize the creation of any agreements, documents or actions in connection therewith (other than any director, manager or equivalent of Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries who will continue in such a position following the Closing and the passing of such resolutions), in each case that are not contingent on the Closing or would be effective prior to the Effective Time, (7) deliver any opinion of counsel (other than customary opinions of counsel delivered in connection with the definitive agreements for the Financing at the Closing) or (8) except for delivery of the Required Financial Information, require Company or any of its Subsidiaries to prepare any financial statements or information that are not available to Company and its Subsidiaries and prepared in the ordinary course of the financial reporting practice of Company and its Subsidiaries.

49

in connection with the Financing.  Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Company and each of its Subsidiaries and all of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and Representatives from and against any and all Liabilities suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, their assistance pursuant to this Section 6.13 or otherwise or any information utilized in connection therewith.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any Liability under any loan agreement or any related document or any other agreement or document related to the Financing.

(b)           Parent hereby acknowledges that the consummation of the Transactions constitutes a “change in control”, “change of control” or other term of similar import for purposes of any Company Benefit Plan that contains a definition of “change in control”, “change of control” or other term of similar import, as applicable.  Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume, honor and provide all the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms in effect as of the Effective Time, without any amendment or modification in respect of any payments, benefits or rights under any Company Benefit Plan arising as a result of the Transactions (either alone or in combination with any other event).

(c)           Each Company Employee who participates in a Benefit Plan that is an annual cash incentive plan (each, an “Annual Incentive Plan”) shall receive a cash bonus in respect of Company’s fiscal year in which the Closing occurs as follows:  (i) with respect to the portion of such fiscal year ending on the Closing Date, an amount equal to the cash bonus calculated under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan based on the projected full-year actual performance under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan as of the Closing, as determined prior to the Closing by the Board of Directors of Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Annual Incentive Plan), prorated for the portion of the year elapsed between the beginning of such fiscal year and the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Bonus”) and (ii) with respect to the remainder of such fiscal year, an amount equal to the greater of full-year threshold or actual performance, prorated for the portion of the year elapsed between the Closing Date and the end of such fiscal year (the “Post-Closing Bonus”), in each case, otherwise in accordance with the terms of the applicable Annual Incentive Plan as in effect for each Company Employee as of the Closing Date; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Closing occurs within 60 Business Days preceding Company’s fiscal year end, then such Company Employee shall not receive a Post-Closing Bonus but shall receive a Pre-Closing Bonus equal to an amount calculated under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan based on projected full-year actual performance under the applicable Annual Incentive Plan as of the Closing, as determined by the Board of Directors of Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Annual Incentive Plan), without proration.  Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) pay the Pre-Closing Bonuses to the applicable Company Employees promptly following the Closing (but in any event, no later than the first payroll date that occurs more than five Business Days after the Closing) and (ii) pay the Post-Closing Bonuses to the applicable Company Employees at the same time that such bonuses are typically paid in the ordinary course of business.  Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 6.15(c), in the event that any Company Employee is terminated by Parent or any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, without Cause (as defined in the Vista Outdoor 2020 Stock Incentive Plan) or due to death or disability following the Closing but prior to the payment date for Post-Closing Bonuses, if any, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, to, pay to such Company Employee, at the time set forth in the preceding sentence, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Pre-Closing Bonus and (y) a portion of the applicable Post-Closing Bonus pro-rated based on the number of days the applicable Company Employee was employed between the Closing Date and the end of the performance period.

(d)          The provisions of this Section 6.15 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.15 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment, modification, termination or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise or limit

51

the ability following the Closing of the Company Group to modify, amend or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, contract, policy, agreement or arrangement or shall confer upon or give to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Employee) any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time or any right to a particular term or condition of employment, and no current or former employee or any other Person associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

Section 6.16.          R&W Insurance Policy.

(a)          The premium payable to the underwriters in respect of the R&W Insurance Policy, and all other brokerage commissions, Taxes, or similar expenses, fees or costs associated with obtaining the R&W Insurance Policy shall be borne by Parent.

(b)           From and after the Closing, to the extent requested in writing, Outdoor Products shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, use good-faith efforts to reasonably cooperate with Parent in connection with any claim made by Parent under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(c)           Parent agrees to not amend the subrogation provisions of the R&W Insurance Policy benefitting Outdoor Products after the Closing in a manner that would adversely affect Outdoor Products without the prior written consent of Outdoor Products.  At such time as the Parent obtains the issued R&W Insurance Policy, a copy of such policy shall be provided to Company and Outdoor Products.

Section 6.17.         Separation.  Company shall keep Parent reasonably apprised, in reasonable detail, of the status of the Separation, and shall implement the Separation as contemplated by the Separation Agreement.  Company and Parent shall reasonably cooperate in connection with such activities necessary to implement the Separation.

Section 6.18.          Covenant Not to Compete.

(a)           From the Effective Time until the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Outdoor Products will not directly or indirectly (including through any Affiliate), within the geographic region of North America, engage in, assist (financially or otherwise) or perform any Protected Activity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Outdoor Products may own, directly or indirectly, no more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock or other equity interests of or in any publicly traded corporation or other business enterprise that engages in the Protected Activities; provided that such ownership therein is solely as a passive investor.  “Protected Activity” means any activity involving the manufacture or sale of ammunition, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any activity of the Outdoor Products Business and any reasonable extension or development thereof.

(b)           If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 6.18 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court holds that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under the circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances will be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court will be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by applicable Law.  Each party has consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and areas restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries and the substantial investment made therein by Parent.

Section 6.19.         Title Affidavit.  At the reasonable written request of Parent, Company shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent’s designated, nationally recognized title insurance company owner’s affidavits and non-imputation affidavits, in each case, executed by Company or the applicable Subsidiary (limited, in the case of execution and delivery, solely to officers continuing with Company and the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing), to the extent reasonably required by Parent’s title insurance company in connection with its issuance of title insurance for the Company Owned Real Property to Parent or its Subsidiaries, in each case, in a form reasonably acceptable to Company and such title insurance company. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) neither the delivery of any such affidavits nor the issuance of any such title insurance policies shall constitute a condition to the Closing, (ii) all such title

52

insurance policies shall be subject to Company Permitted Liens and (iii) all new title insurance policies (including any updates to existing policies, any endorsements and all related services and costs) shall be at the sole cost and expense of Parent.

ARTICLE VIII

(a)            by mutual written consent of Company and Parent;

(b)            by either Company or Parent:

  (i)        if the Effective Time has not occurred on or before October 15, 2024 (the “Initial End Date” and, as extended pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso, the “End Date”); provided that, if on the Initial End Date, all of the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied (other than (A) the condition set forth in Section 7.01(d); provided that such condition would have been reasonably capable of being satisfied on the Initial End Date if the Closing occurred on such date and (B) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that such conditions would have been satisfied on Initial End Date if the Closing occurred on such date) or waived, other than those conditions set forth in Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) (with respect to Section 7.01(c), solely to the extent that such Restraint arises under the HSR Act, any other Review Law or the DPA), then the Initial End Date will be automatically extended to January 15, 2025; provided further that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before the End Date is primarily due to the breach by such party of any Transaction Document (including, in the case of Company, Outdoor Products, and in the case of Parent, Guarantor or Merger Sub).

  (ii)        if the Company Stockholder Approval has not been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote upon a vote taken at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting;

  (iii)     if any Restraint having the effect set forth in Section 7.01(c) shall be in effect and shall have become final and non-appealable; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b)(iii) (and such party’s Affiliates) shall have performed in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement to prevent the entry of and to remove such Restraint in accordance with its obligations under Section 6.04; or

(c)            by Company:

  (i)       if Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants set forth in any Transaction Document, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b) and (B) is not reasonably capable of being cured by the End Date or, if reasonably capable of being cured, has not been cured within 30 days after Parent has received written notice from Company identifying such breach or failure to perform and stating Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)(i); provided that Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)(i) if (x) Company or Outdoor Products is then in breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in any Transaction Document and such breach would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.03(a) or 7.03(b); or

(ii)          the Board of Directors of Company or any committee thereof makes a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 8.02.          Effect of Termination.  In the event of valid termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.01, written notice of such termination shall be given to the other party or parties hereto, specifying the provision of Section 8.01 pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any Liability on the part of Company, Outdoor Products or any Company Related Party or Parent, Merger Sub or any Parent Related Party, other than (a) the last sentence of Section 6.03, Section 6.06, Section 6.13(d), this Section 8.02, Section 8.03 and Article IX, which provisions shall survive such termination and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, and (b) any Liability resulting from Fraud or willful and material breach by any party hereto of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Section 8.03.          Termination Fees.

(a)          If either Parent or Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) or 8.01(b)(iii) and, at the time of such termination, all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.01 and 7.03 have been satisfied (other than (a) the condition set forth in Section 7.01(d); provided that such condition would have been reasonably capable of being satisfied on the date of termination if the Closing occurred on such date and (b) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided that such conditions would have been satisfied on the date of termination if the Closing occurred on such date) or waived, other than those conditions set forth in Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) (with respect to Section 7.01(c), solely to the extent that such Restraint arises under the HSR Act, any other Review Law or the DPA), then Parent shall pay to Company $114,600,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds to an account designated by Company.  Such payment shall be due (x) concurrently with termination by Parent or (y) within two Business Days after written notice of termination by Company (as applicable).  Parent shall not be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this Section 8.03(a).

(b)           If:

(i)         Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(ii);

(ii)        Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii);

or

(iii)      (A)  this Agreement is terminated by either Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) (but only if the Company Stockholders’ Meeting has not been held by the End Date) or Section 8.01(b)(ii), (B) a Company Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly made to Company or shall have been made directly to the stockholders of Company or shall have otherwise become publicly known, in each case after the date of this Agreement but prior to such termination, and (C) within 12 months of such termination Company (1) enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal and such Company Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated or (2) consummates a Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that, for the purposes of this Section 8.03(b)(iii), the references to “15%” in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”,

57

then in any such case Company shall pay to Parent $47,750,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent.  Such payment shall be due (x) in the case of a termination specified in clause (i), within two Business Days after written notice of termination by Parent or (y) in the case of a termination specified in clause (ii) or (iii), at or prior to the earlier of the entering into of the agreement or the consummation of the transaction referred to therein.  Company shall not be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this Section 8.03(b).

(c)           Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that without these agreements, the other parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party.  Accordingly, if Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.03, and, in order to obtain payment of such amount, Parent or Company, as the case may be, commences an Action which results in a final, non-appealable order against the other requiring the payment set forth in this Section 8.03, such paying party shall pay or cause to be paid to the other party, as applicable, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such Action, together with interest on such due and unpaid amount pursuant to this Section 8.03 at the rate of (i) the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such amount was required to be paid plus (ii) 2% through the date such payment was actually received.

(d)          Subject in all respects to Section 8.02, Company’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 9.12 and Section 8.03(c), in the event the Parent Termination Fee is paid to Company in circumstances under which the Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.03(a), payment of the Parent Termination Fee (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be payable to Company solely in the circumstances described in Section 8.03(a)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) of Company and its Subsidiaries against Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, financing sources (including the Debt Financing Sources), managers, members, directors, officers or Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for any and all losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions (other than claims for Fraud or willful and material breach by any party hereto of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document).

(e)          Subject in all respects to Section 8.02, Parent’s injunction, specific performance and equitable relief rights and related rights set forth in Section 9.12 and Section 8.03(c), in the event the Company Termination Fee is paid to Parent in circumstances for which the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.03(b), payment of the Company Termination Fee (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be payable to Company solely in the circumstances described in Section 8.03(b)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) of Parent, Merger Sub and the Parent Related Parties against Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) for any and all losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, and upon payment of such amount none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions (other than claims for Fraud or willful and material breach by any party hereto of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document).

Section 8.04.         Amendment.  Subject to Section 9.09, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time.  Any amendment to this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no amendments to the provisions of this Agreement to which any Debt Financing Source is expressly made a third-party beneficiary shall be permitted in any manner adverse in any material respect to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source.

Section 8.05.        Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or

58

in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement.  Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.  The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no waivers to the provisions of this Agreement to which any Debt Financing Source is expressly made a third-party beneficiary shall be permitted in any manner adverse in any material respect to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Source.

ANNEX F

Summary of Appraisal Rights

Defined terms used in this summary have the meaning given to them in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. If the Merger is consummated, persons who do not wish to accept the Merger Consideration are entitled to seek appraisal of their shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock under Section 262 and, if all procedures described in Section 262 are strictly complied with, to receive payment in cash for the fair value of their shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. The “fair value” of your shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery may be more or less than, or the same as, the Merger Consideration that you are otherwise entitled to receive under the Merger Agreement. These rights are known as “appraisal rights”. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus serves as a notice of such appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262.

Persons who exercise appraisal rights under Section 262 will not receive the Merger Consideration they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. They will receive an amount determined to be the “fair value” of their shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock following petition to, and an appraisal by, the Delaware Court of Chancery. Persons considering seeking appraisal should recognize that the fair value of their shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as or less than the Merger Consideration they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Strict compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 262 is required. Failure to comply strictly with all of the procedures set forth in Section 262 may result in the withdrawal, loss or waiver of appraisal rights. Consequently, and in view of the complexity of the provisions of Section 262, persons wishing to exercise appraisal rights are urged to consult their legal and financial advisors before attempting to exercise such rights.

A copy of Section 262 may be accessed without subscription or cost at the following publicly available website: https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc09/index.html#262. The following summary is not a complete statement of the law relating to appraisal rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262 and any amendments thereto after the date of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Any person who desires to exercise his, her or its appraisal rights should review carefully Section 262 and is urged to consult his, her or its legal and financial advisors before electing or attempting to exercise such rights. The following summary does not constitute legal or other advice, nor does it constitute a recommendation that persons seek to exercise their appraisal rights under Section 262. A person who loses his, her or its appraisal rights will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

A holder of record or a beneficial owner of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock who, in each case, (i) continuously holds such shares through the Effective Time, (ii) has not consented to or otherwise voted in favor of the Merger Proposal or otherwise withdrawn, lost or waived appraisal rights, (iii) strictly complies with the procedures under Section 262, (iv) does not thereafter withdraw his, her or its demand for appraisal of such shares and (v) in the case of a beneficial owner, a person who (A) reasonably identifies in his, her or its demand the holder of record of the shares for which the demand is made, (B) provides documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be and (C) provides an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by Vista Outdoor and to be set forth on the Chancery List (as defined below), will be entitled to receive the fair value of his, her or its shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value.

Section 262 requires that where a merger agreement is to be submitted for adoption at a meeting of stockholders, the stockholders be notified that appraisal rights will be available not less than twenty (20) days before the meeting to vote on the merger. Such notice must include either a copy of Section 262 or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which Section 262 may be accessed without subscription or cost. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus constitutes Vista Outdoor’s notice to its stockholders that appraisal rights are available in connection with the Merger, in compliance with the requirements of Section 262. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262, which

may be accessed without subscription or cost at the following publicly available website: https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc09/index.html#262. Failure to comply timely and properly with the requirements of Section 262 will result in the loss of your appraisal rights under the DGCL.

If you elect to demand appraisal of your shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock, you must satisfy each of the following conditions: you must deliver to Vista Outdoor a written demand for appraisal of your shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock before the taking of the vote on the Merger, which demand must reasonably inform Vista Outdoor of the identity of the holder of record of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock who intends to demand appraisal of his, her or its shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock and, for beneficial owners only, such demand must be accompanied by documentary evidence of such beneficial owner’s beneficial ownership and a statement that such documentary evidence is a true and correct copy of what it purports to be, and must provide an address at which such beneficial owner consents to receive notices given by Vista Outdoor and to be set forth on the Chancery List; you must not vote or submit a proxy in favor of the Merger Proposal; you must hold your shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock continuously through the Effective Time; and you must comply with the other applicable requirements of Section 262.

A Vista Outdoor stockholder who elects to exercise appraisal rights must mail his, her or its written demand for appraisal to the following address:

Vista Outdoor Inc.

1 Vista Way

Anoka, MN 55303

Attention: General Counsel and Corporate Secretary

A record holder who holds shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock as a nominee for others, such as a broker, fiduciary, depositary or other nominee, may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of shares as to which such person is the record owner. In such case, the demand must set forth the number of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock covered by such demand. Where the number of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock outstanding in the name of such record owner.

Within ten (10) days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation must give written notice that the Merger has become effective to (i) each Vista Outdoor stockholder who has properly filed a written demand for appraisal and who did not vote in favor of the Merger Proposal and (ii) any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under Section 262. At any time within sixty (60) days after the Effective Time, any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined a proceeding as a named party may withdraw the demand and accept the Merger Consideration specified by the Merger Agreement for that person’s shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock by delivering to the Surviving Corporation a written withdrawal of the demand for appraisal.

Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time, but not thereafter, the Surviving Corporation and any person who has properly and timely demanded appraisal and otherwise complied with Section 262 may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a copy served on the Surviving Corporation in the case of a petition filed by a person, demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock held by all persons that have demanded appraisal. There is no present intent on the part of Vista Outdoor or the Surviving Corporation to file an appraisal petition and persons seeking to exercise appraisal rights should assume that Vista Outdoor and the Surviving Corporation will not file such a petition or initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock. Accordingly, persons who desire to have their shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of their appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262. If, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time, no petition has been filed as provided above, all rights to appraisal will cease and any person that previously demanded appraisal will become entitled only to the Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

In addition, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time, any person who has theretofore complied with the applicable provisions of Section 262 will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the Surviving Corporation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock not

voted in favor of the Merger and with respect to which demands for appraisal were received by the Surviving Corporation and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement must be given within ten (10) days after the written request therefor has been received by the Surviving Corporation or within ten (10) days after the expiration of the period for the delivery of demands as described above, whichever is later.

Upon the filing of a petition by a person, service of a copy of such petition shall be made upon the Surviving Corporation. The Surviving Corporation shall be required to, within twenty (20) days after such service, file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all persons who have demanded appraisal of their shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock and with whom the Surviving Corporation has not reached agreements as to the value of such shares (the “Chancery List”). The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the Surviving Corporation and to all such persons set forth on the Chancery List.

If a petition for an appraisal is timely filed by a person, at the hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which persons have complied with Section 262 and have become entitled to appraisal rights provided thereby. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the persons who have demanded an appraisal of their shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock and who hold shares represented by certificates to submit their certificates of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any person fails to comply with such direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such person. If immediately before the Merger, the shares of the class or series of stock of the corporation were listed on a national securities exchange, the Delaware Court of Chancery will dismiss the appraisal proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (i) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal or (ii) the value of the consideration provided in the Merger for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million.

Upon application by the Surviving Corporation or any person entitled to participate in the appraisal proceedings, the Delaware Court of Chancery may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the persons entitled to appraisal. Any person whose name appears on the Chancery List may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such person is not entitled to appraisal rights under Section 262.

Where proceedings are not dismissed, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceedings, the Delaware Court of Chancery shall determine the fair value of shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock taking into account all relevant factors, exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Merger, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery, in its discretion, determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest on an appraisal award will accrue and compound quarterly from the Effective Time through the date the judgment is paid at five percent (5%) over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the Effective Time and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the Surviving Corporation may pay to each person entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue after such payment only on the sum of (i) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and (ii) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid by the Surviving Corporation as part of the pre-judgment payment to the person.

When the fair value of the shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value, with interest thereon, if any, to the persons entitled to receive the same.

Although Vista Outdoor believes that the Merger Consideration is fair, no representation is made as to the outcome of the appraisal of fair value as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and persons should recognize that such an appraisal could result in a determination of a value higher or lower than, or the same as, the Merger Consideration. Moreover, the Surviving Corporation does not anticipate offering more than the Merger

Consideration to any person exercising appraisal rights and reserves the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that, for purposes of Section 262, the “fair value” of the relevant shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock is less than the Merger Consideration.

In determining “fair value”, the Delaware Court of Chancery is required to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court discussed the factors that could be considered in determining fair value in an appraisal proceeding, stating that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value, the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which were known or could be ascertained as of the date of the merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 provides that fair value is to be “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.” In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value”, but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation.

In Weinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.” In addition, the Delaware courts have decided that the statutory appraisal remedy, depending on factual circumstances, may or may not be a dissenting person’s exclusive remedy.

The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and taxed upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable in the circumstances. However, costs do not include attorneys’ and expert witness fees. Each person is responsible for his, her or its attorneys’ and expert witness fees, although, upon application of a person whose name appears on the Chancery List who participated in the proceeding and incurred expenses in connection therewith, the Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of such expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and expert witness fees, be charged pro rata against the value of all shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock entitled to appraisal not dismissed pursuant to Section 262(k) of the DGCL or subject to such an award pursuant to a reservation of jurisdiction under Section 262(k) of the DGCL. Determinations by the Delaware Court of Chancery are subject to appellate review by the Delaware Supreme Court.

Any person who has duly demanded appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not be entitled to vote for any purpose any shares of Vista Outdoor Common Stock subject to such demand or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares, except for dividends or distributions payable to Vista Outdoor stockholders of record at a date prior to the Effective Time.

No appraisal proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any person without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just, including without limitation, a reservation of jurisdiction for any application to the Delaware Court of Chancery made under Section 262(j) of the DGCL; provided, however, that this provision shall not affect the right of any person who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined such a proceeding as a named party to withdraw such person’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the Merger within sixty (60) days after the Effective Time. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Time, all rights to appraisal will cease and any person that previously demanded appraisal will become entitled only to the Merger Consideration under the Merger Agreement.

To the extent there are any inconsistencies between the foregoing summary, on the one hand, and Section 262, on the other hand, Section 262 will govern.

Failure to comply strictly with all of the procedures set forth in Section 262 may result in the withdrawal, loss or waiver of appraisal rights.
