Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
|
A special meeting of stockholders
of Cabelas Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the Company), was held on July 11, 2017 in Sidney, Nebraska (the Special Meeting). A total of 54,386,955 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the
Company (Common Stock), out of a total of 68,911,660 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as of June 2, 2017 (the Record Date), were present in person or represented by proxy at the Special
Meeting, and, therefore, a quorum was present. A summary of the voting results for the following proposals, each of which is described in detail in the Companys definitive proxy statement, dated June 3, 2017 and first mailed to the
Companys stockholders on or about June 7, 2017, is set forth below:
Approval of the Merger and the Other Transactions Contemplated by
the Merger Agreement
As previously disclosed, on October 3, 2016, 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 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).
At the Special Meeting, the Companys stockholders voted upon
and approved a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. Approximately 78% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voted in favor of the proposal. The votes on this proposal were as follows:

Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Merger-Related Compensation
At the Special Meeting, the Companys stockholders voted upon and approved a proposal to approve, by a non-binding advisory vote, the
compensation that may be paid or become payable to the Companys named executive officers and that is based on, or otherwise relates to, the Merger. Approximately 67% of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at
the Special Meeting were voted in favor of the proposal. The votes on this proposal were as follows:

Adjournment of the Special Meeting
Because stockholders holding at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote approved the proposal to adopt
the Merger Agreement, the vote was not called on the proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting from time to time to a later date or time if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional proxies in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger
Agreement if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement.
On July 11, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the
results of the voting at the Special Meeting, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
