CAB Cabelas Class A (delisted)

As previously disclosed, on October 3, 2016, Cabela’s Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, Bass Pro Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Prairie Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”), which was amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 17, 2017 (and as further amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides for Sub to merge with and into the Company, causing the Company to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

On July 3, 2017, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) notified Parent and the Company that it had closed its investigation of the proposed Merger. As a result, under the terms of the timing agreement that Parent previously entered into with the FTC, the commitment of Parent and the Company not to close the Merger has expired. The consummation of the Merger remains subject to other closing conditions, including (i) the approval of the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held on July 11, 2017, (ii) the closing of the purchase and sale of substantially all of the business of World’s Foremost Bank, a Nebraska banking corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to the Framework Agreement described in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 18, 2017 and (iii) other customary closing conditions.
