Cabela’s Incorporated issued the following communication to its employees on July 5, 2017:




To:		All Cabela’s U.S., Canada and Hong Kong Outfitters

From:		Tommy Millner, Chief Outfitter

Date:		July 5, 2017

Subject:		Bass Pro Shops Transaction Update

We want to provide a brief update on our progress toward completing our merger with Bass Pro Shops.

Today, we announced that we have received antitrust clearance for the proposed merger after the Federal Trade Commission informed us that it had closed its inquiry into the transaction. This is a major milestone toward completing the transaction, which we continue to expect to occur in the third quarter of 2017, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.

While antitrust clearance is an important step forward, keep in mind that there are still several steps left before we can close the transaction. We continue to work diligently to obtain all of the necessary approvals to complete the transaction, including stockholder approval at our Special Meeting on July 11, 2017, and the closing of the sale of World’s Foremost Bank.

Thank you for your continued patience and focus as we move closer to combining our companies. We will continue to share news and updates as we move forward.

Sincerely,

Tommy Millner
