This Amendment No. 9 (Amendment No. 9) to the
Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2014 (together with any amendments and
supplements thereto, the Schedule 14D-9) by Sport Chalet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company).
All
capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 9 and not otherwise defined have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 14D-9.
Item 8. Additional Information.
Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following additional disclosure to the end of such Item:
Final Results of the Offer and Completion of Merger.
The Offer expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of August 15, 2014. Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for
the Offer, has advised Parent that, as of that time, approximately 4,178,979 Class A Shares and 1,455,923 Class B Shares had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer. Such tendered Shares, when combined with the Shares that Parent
has separately agreed to purchase from the Olberz Family, represent approximately 94.7% of the outstanding Class A Shares and 89.0% of the outstanding Class B Shares. In addition, 26,312 Class A Shares and 27,192 Class B Shares were
tendered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery that had not been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee, representing approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Class A Shares and 1.5% of the outstanding Class B Shares. Purchaser
has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn (other than Shares tendered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery that had not been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to such acceptance) and will
promptly pay for such Shares.
Purchaser will acquire all of the remaining outstanding Shares by means of a short form merger under Delaware
law promptly following the purchase of Shares in the Offer and the purchase of the shares from the Olberz Family immediately after consummation of the Offer. As a result of the purchase of Shares in the Offer and the purchase of the Shares held by
the Olberz Family, Purchaser has sufficient voting power to approve the Merger without the affirmative vote of any other Company stockholder. In order to accomplish the Merger as a short form merger, Purchaser currently intends to
exercise its top-up option pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which permits Purchaser to purchase additional Shares directly from the Company for $1.20 per Share (the same purchase price paid in the Offer). Based on the number of Class B
Shares validly tendered (excluding Class B Shares tendered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery that had not been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to acceptance of Shares in the Offer) and the Olberz Family Shares,
which collectively represent approximately 89.0% of the outstanding Class B Shares, Purchaser expects to exercise the top-up option for approximately 173,500 Class B Shares to enable it to accomplish the short-form merger. Following the Merger, the
Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and each Share (including Shares tendered through Notices of Guaranteed Delivery that had not been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee prior to acceptance of Shares in
the Offer) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the same $1.20 per Share consideration, without interest, received by stockholders who validly tendered their Shares in the Offer prior to the Expiration Date (subject to exercise
of appraisal rights).
Parent intends to cause all Shares to be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market and deregistered under the Exchange Act.
