Introductory Note.
As previously announced, on October 4, 2024, Revelyst, Inc. (“Revelyst” or “the Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Vista Outdoor Inc., Olibre LLC (“SVP Parent”) and Cabin Ridge Inc., a wholly owned direct subsidiary of SVP Parent (“SVP Merger Sub”), providing for, on the terms and conditions set forth therein and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the merger of SVP Merger Sub with and into Revelyst with Revelyst surviving the
merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of SVP Parent (the “Merger”).
Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
On January 3, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Merger was consummated and Revelyst is now a wholly owned subsidiary of funds managed by Strategic Value Partners, LLC and its affiliates.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
New Credit Agreements
Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, Olibre Borrower LLC (the “Borrower”) entered into (i) that certain Credit Agreement among Olibre Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and Fortress Credit Corp., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Term
Loan Credit Agreement”) and (ii) that certain ABL Credit Agreement, among Holdings, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “ABL Credit Agreement”, together with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the “New Credit Agreements”). The New Credit Agreements provide for extensions of credit in the form of (i) an initial term loan to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $450,000,000 and (ii) asset-based revolving
loans made available to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $200,000,000.
The obligations under the New Credit Agreements are secured by substantially all assets of Holdings, the Borrower and subsidiary guarantors, including
Revelyst (subject to certain exclusions and exceptions). The New Credit Agreements include representations and warranties, covenants, events of default and other provisions that are customary for facilities of their respective types.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On the Closing Date, pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, SVP Merger Sub merged with and into Revelyst, with Revelyst surviving the
Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SVP Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock,
par value $0.01 of Revelyst (“Revelyst Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any such
shares of Revelyst Common Stock held by Revelyst, its subsidiaries or SVP Parent) was converted into the right to receive an amount (the “Merger
Consideration”) equal to (a) the sum of (x) $1,125,000,000 plus (y) the Cash Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) plus (z) the Aggregate Option Exercise Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) divided
by (b) the sum of (x) number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any such shares of Revelyst Common Stock held by Revelyst, its subsidiaries or SVP Parent) plus (y) the number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock underlying each Revelyst equity award entitled to receive the Merger Consideration as of immediately prior to
the effective time of the Revelyst Merger. The Merger Consideration is equal to $20.12 per share of Revelyst Common Stock.
In addition, at the Effective Time, each Revelyst equity award that was outstanding as of the Effective Time was treated as follows: (1) each restricted
stock unit that was subject solely to time-based vesting conditions (a “Revelyst RSU”) vested and was cancelled in exchange for a lump sum
cash payment equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock underlying such Revelyst RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Merger Consideration; (2) other than a Specified PSU (as defined below), each
performance stock unit (a “Revelyst PSU”) vested and was cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (A) the
number of shares of Revelyst Common Stock underlying such Revelyst PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming achievement of the applicable performance goals at specified levels) and (B) the Merger Consideration; (3) each option to
purchase Revelyst Common Stock (a “Revelyst Option”), whether vested or unvested, was cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment equal
to the difference between the Merger Consideration and the exercise price per share of the Revelyst Option; and (4) each deferred stock unit, whether vested or unvested, was cancelled in exchange for a lump sum cash payment equal to the Merger
Consideration. Certain Revelyst PSUs (each, a “Specified PSU”) were also converted into restricted cash awards, subject to the same terms and
conditions as the corresponding Revelyst PSU, including vesting terms (including performance-based vesting terms).
