Abell, Jerome T. Broussard, Brian T. Grattan, Dennis L. Green, Charles P. Grenier, Jerry J. James, Michael T. Jenson, Darrel R. Martin, Michael J. Muldown, Richard D. Dasen, Susan A. Dasen and Budget Finance pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13e-3 thereunder. Winter Sports, Inc. (the "Company") is simultaneously amending a separate Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement previously filed on Schedule 13E-3. The purpose of this Amendment No. 3 is to file a final amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 to report the results of the Rule 13e-3 transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3). On February 27, 2004, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a definitive proxy statement under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), relating to the annual meeting of shareholders held on May 6, 2004 to approve and adopt an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect the following: (a) a one-for-150 reverse stock split of the Company's common shares (the "Reverse Split"); and (b) a cash payment per share of $17.50 for the outstanding common shares in lieu of the issuance of any resulting fractional shares of common stock. The requisite majority of the Company's common shares represented at the annual meeting held on May 6, 2004, voted to approve the above amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation in order to enable the Company to "go private" by terminating registration of the Company's common stock under the Exchange Act. The Company filed the amendment with the Montana Secretary of State to effect the Reverse Split on May 7, 2004. The Reverse Split has reduced the number of shareholders of the Company to less than 300, and the Company has filed a Form 15 with the Commission terminating registration of the Company's common stock under Rule 12g-(4)(a)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act.
