Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Merger Agreement

On July 30, 2007, K2 Inc. (“K2”) entered into an Amendment No. 1 to its Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “First Amendment”) with Jarden Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Jarden”), and K2 Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Jarden (“Merger Sub”), amending the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 24, 2007, by and among Jarden, Merger Sub and K2 (the “Merger Agreement”), to reduce from $27.5 million to $24 million the termination fee payable by K2 to Jarden under certain circumstances in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated.

A copy of the First Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein. The foregoing description of the First Amendment is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the First Amendment.

Entry into Supplemental Indenture

On July 31, 2007, K2 announced that it had received the requisite consents (“Consents”) of the holders of approximately $198.96 million in principal amount of the $200.0 million total outstanding 7  3/8% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) pursuant to its previously announced consent solicitation. Consents were required to be delivered by 5:00 p.m., New York City time on July 31, 2007.

Each consenting holder of the Notes agreed to certain proposed amendments to the Indenture, dated as of July 1, 2004 (the “Indenture”) among K2, the subsidiary guarantors under the Indenture (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as the trustee under the Indenture (the “Trustee”), pursuant to which the Notes were issued. Accordingly, on July 31, 2007, K2 entered into an Eighth Supplemental Indenture (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture”) with the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee.

The Eighth Supplemental Indenture (i) eliminates substantially all restrictive covenants (Sections 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 3.19, 3.20 and 3.21 of the Indenture) and events of default, (ii) deletes the covenant relating to the merger and consolidation of K2 and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (iii) makes related changes in the Notes, deletes the form of supplemental indenture for subsequent guarantors and deletes certain definitions and related provisions from the Indenture and the Notes made irrelevant as a result of the deletion and/or amendment of such provisions (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). The Proposed Amendments will not, however, become operative unless and until K2 accepts Notes for purchase pursuant to the related tender offer with respect to the Notes (the “Tender Offer”).

A copy of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, and is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein. The foregoing description of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 31, 2007, K2 issued a press release announcing the pricing of its Tender Offer as well as the execution of the Eight Supplemental Indenture and the matters with respect to the Consent solicitation described in Item 1.01—Entry into Supplement Indenture.” A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

K2 Inc. Announces Pricing for its Tender Offer for its 7 3/8% Senior Notes due 2014 and Receipt of

Requisite Consents in the Related Consent Solicitation

Carlsbad, California – July 31, 2007 – K2 Inc. (NYSE: KTO) announced today the determination of the pricing for its previously announced cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 7 3/8% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 482732AE4) (the “Notes”). The tender offer and related solicitation of consents to amend the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued (the “Indenture”) are being made in connection with the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Jarden Corporation (“Jarden”), K2 Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jarden (“Merger Sub”), and K2 Inc. (“K2”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into K2, with K2 surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jarden (the “Merger”). The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 18, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Consent and Letter of Transmittal, and are conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the Merger.

The total consideration for the Notes was determined as of 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 31, 2007, using the yield of the 3.625% U.S. Treasury Note due July 15, 2009 (the “Reference Security”) plus a fixed spread of 50 basis points and based on the Scheduled Initial Payment Date, as defined in the Offer to Purchase, of August 8, 2007. The yield on the Reference Security was 4.628% and the tender offer yield was 5.128%. Accordingly, the total consideration, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 31, 2007 (the “Consent Date”) is $1,073.56, which includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The tender offer consideration, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered after the Consent Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) is $1,043.56.

In addition, K2 announced that approximately $198.96 million of outstanding Notes, or approximately 99.5% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding, had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Consent Date. Accordingly, K2 has received the requisite consents to adopt the proposed amendments to the Indenture pursuant to the consent solicitation. K2, its subsidiaries guaranteeing the Notes and the trustee under the Indenture have entered into a supplemental indenture giving effect to the amendments, which will eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and events of default, among other things, and which will become effective immediately upon its execution and delivery; however, the amendments will not become operative until the Initial Payment Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).

The tender offer and consent solicitation are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the Merger having occurred or occurring substantially concurrent with the initial payment date. The tender offer will expire at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase. Rights to withdraw tendered Notes and to revoke delivered consents terminated on the Consent Date; however, holders of Notes who have not yet tendered their Notes or who validly withdrew tendered Notes prior to the Consent Date may still tender their Notes until the Expiration Date.

K2 has retained Lehman Brothers Inc. to act as the Dealer Manager for the tender offer and Solicitation Agent for the consent solicitation. Persons with questions regarding the tender offer and the consent solicitation should contact Lehman Brothers Inc. at (800) 438-3242 (toll-free) or (212) 528-7581 (collect). Requests for documentation may be


directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation who has been retained as the Information Agent for the tender offer and consent solicitation, which can be contacted at (212) 430-3774 (for banks and brokers only) or (866) 470-4200 (for all others toll-free).

This release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes. The offer to purchase the Notes is only being made pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation documents, including the Offer to Purchase that K2 has distributed to holders of Notes. The tender offer and consent solicitation are not being made to holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the tender offer or consent solicitation are required to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, they shall be deemed to be made by Lehman Brothers Inc. on behalf of K2.
