In connection with the closing of the Marlin Acquisition, as defined and described in more detail under Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, Remington Arms Company, Inc.

Pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, each of Marlin and H&R became a “Borrower” under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by and among Remington, Wachovia, certain subsidiaries of Remington, and the lenders from time to time a party thereto, dated March 15, 2006 and as amended on May 31, 2007 and November 13, 2007.
ITEM 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On January 28, 2008 (the “Marlin Closing Date”), Remington completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the “Shares”) of Marlin, from the shareholders of Marlin (collectively, the “Marlin Sellers”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (the “Marlin Stock Purchase Agreement”) dated as of December 21, 2007 by and among Marlin, Remington, the Marlin Sellers party thereto, and Frank Kenna, III, solely in his capacity as the Shareholders’ Representative (the “Marlin Acquisition”). The Marlin Acquisition includes Marlin’s 100% ownership interest in H&R.
The total purchase price for the Marlin Acquisition is estimated to be approximately $47.6 million (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain Purchase Price reductions. The following is a summary of certain material transactions related to the closing of the Marlin Acquisition:
| • | Remington purchased the Shares and paid other related fees and expenses associated with the Marlin Acquisition with available cash on hand, funds available under existing credit facilities and an equity contribution provided by American Heritage Arms, Inc. to Remington through Remington’s parent, RACI Holding, Inc. American Heritage Arms, Inc. owns 100% of RACI Holding, Inc. |
| • | Remington paid the Marlin Sellers aggregate consideration of $36.0 million (the “Consideration”), of which $5.2 million was deposited into an escrow account to secure certain indemnity obligations of the Marlin Sellers under the Marlin Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Escrow Amount”). Any unused portion of the Escrow Amount will be released to the Marlin Sellers in two equal portions on two dates that are twelve and eighteen months following the Marlin Closing Date. |
| • | Remington paid approximately $5.3 million of Marlin Acquisition-related fees and expenses. |
| • | At the Marlin Closing Date and on behalf of Marlin, Remington repaid approximately $6.3 million of borrowings under the Marlin Amended and Restated Commercial Revolving Line of Credit Agreement between Marlin and Webster Bank, National Association. |
| • | The Consideration includes a reduction of $2.8 million in respect of an estimate of underfunding of Marlin’s pension plan as of the Marlin Closing Date. If the actual amount of the underfunding of the Marlin pension plan as of the Marlin Closing Date is less than $2.8 million as finally determined, Remington will increase the Consideration paid to the Marlin Sellers by the amount of such difference. |
