The amended merger agreement with CSG further increases the base purchase price payable by CSG for the acquisition of The Kinetic Group business (the "CSG Transaction") by $50 million to $2.15 billion.

CSG收購Kinetic Group業務的收購價格將基礎購買價格進一步提高5000萬美元至21.5億美元。

In addition, Vista Outdoor has determined that an additional ~$125 million of cash should be returned to Vista Outdoor's stockholders as cash consideration. This follows a careful review of Revelyst's capital allocation strategy, contemplated divestitures and the availability of the ABL facility, and the determination that capitalizing Revelyst with cash and cash equivalents of ~$125 million is sufficient to execute the Revelyst business plan.

此外,Vista Outdoor確定應向Vista Outdoor股東返還約12500萬美元的現金作爲現金對價。這是對Revelyst資本配置策略、預期剝離和ABL融資可用性進行了仔細審查,以及決定以12500萬美元的現金及現金等價物對Revelyst進行資本化,足以執行Revelyst的業務計劃的判斷。

In total, the increase in the base purchase price payable by CSG combined with the additional cash being returned to stockholders by Vista Outdoor increases the cash consideration payable to Vista Outdoor stockholders in the CSG Transaction by $3.00 per share to $24.00 in cash per share of Vista Outdoor common stock. Based on the amended merger agreement with CSG, Vista Outdoor stockholders will receive at the closing of the CSG Transaction, $24.00 per share in cash and one share of Revelyst common stock, in each case, per share of Vista Outdoor common stock.

總體而言,在CSG的基礎購買價格上的提高以及返還給Vista Outdoor股東的額外現金的情況下,CSG交易對Vista Outdoor股東的現金對價每股增加了3.00美元,達到每股24.00美元的現金對Vista Outdoor普通股的股票。基於與CSG的修訂合併協議,Vista Outdoor股東將在CSG交易結束時獲得24.00美元的現金和一股Revelyst普通股,每股Vista Outdoor普通股同樣如此。

Vista Outdoor is confident that the CSG Transaction maximizes value for its stockholders by providing for a $2.15 billion purchase price, representing a $240 million increase from the original $1.91 billion purchase price, and cash consideration of $24.00 per share of Vista Outdoor common stock, close to double the cash consideration per share from the original cash consideration of $12.90 per share of Vista Outdoor common stock, and a share of Revelyst stock. Vista Outdoor firmly believes this increased offer is superior to MNC Capital's proposal of $42.00 per share as the CSG Transaction allows stockholders to lock in the $2.15 billion purchase price for The Kinetic Group and benefit from both the expected increase in multiple from the separation of Revelyst into a standalone company as well as participate in the significant EBITDA expansion through growth in the Revelyst business and $100 million of cost savings from the GEAR Up program over the next three years.

Vista Outdoor確信CSG交易通過提供21.5億美元的收購價格(相較於原始191億美元的收購價格增長了2400萬美元),以及每股Vista Outdoor普通股24.00美元的現金對價,爲其股東最大化價值,這幾乎是原始每股Vista Outdoor普通股12.90美元的現金對價的兩倍,並提供一股Revelyst股票。Vista Outdoor堅信,這一提高的提議優於MNC Capital提出的每股42.00美元的提議,因爲CSG交易允許股東鎖定21.5億美元的Kinetic Group購買價格,並從Revelyst分離爲獨立公司後的預期倍數增加以及通過Revelyst業務的增長和未來三年Gear Up計劃中的1億美元成本節約達成可觀的EBITDA擴張中受益。

Rather than looking at MNC Capital's proposal in isolation, we urge stockholders to take into account the significant increase in value since the CSG merger agreement was first signed in October 2023, which is comprised of (i) the meaningful increase in CSG's purchase price of $240 million (~$4.05 per share) for The Kinetic Group, and (ii) Vista Outdoor's additional cash generation of $190 million (~$3.20 per share) during this time that is directly being returned to stockholders as cash consideration in the CSG Transaction.

我們建議股東不要孤立地看待MNC Capital的提議,而應考慮自CSG合併協議自2023年10月簽署以來價值的顯著增長,其中包括(i)CSG爲Kinetic Group的2400萬美元(每股約4.05美元)的購買價格顯著上漲,以及(ii)Vista Outdoor在此期間的另外1.9億美元(每股約3.20美元)的現金生成直接以現金對價形式返還給股東。

In summary, the CSG Transaction delivers $430 million (~$7.25 per share) in additional value to Vista Outdoor stockholders since CSG's original offer and enables stockholders to receive 100% of the cash that the Company has generated in the interim period plus retain the upside in Revelyst. Voting "FOR" the CSG Transaction allows stockholders to crystalize this value increase, as opposed to MNC Capital using Vista Outdoor's own cash to finance its fixed price per share proposal.

總之,CSG交易給Vista Outdoor股東帶來了4300萬美元(每股約7.25美元)的附加價值,自CSG最初提議以來使股東能夠收到公司在中期內創造的100%的現金,並保留Revelyst的上漲空間。投票贊成CSG交易允許股東兌現這一價值增值,而不是採用Vista Outdoor自己的現金來爲其固定每股價格的提議提供融資。
