On April 7, 2003, Holdings filed a prospectus with the securities regulatory authorities in each province and territory of Canada in connection with its IPO. In order to facilitate the IPO, The Hockey Company entered into an agreement on April 2, 2003, with Hockey Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (~~"Hockey Merger Co."~~514)~~, and Holdings pursuant to which Hockey Merger Co. agreed to merge with and into The Hockey Company, with The Hockey Company as the~~ surviving corporation (the "Merger") and which would result in 100% of the voting power, and at least 25% of the economic value, of The Hockey Company being owned by Holdings. The remaining percentage of the economic value would be owned by the holders of the non932-~~voting exchangeable common stock of The Hockey Company (the "Exchangeable Shares"). The Merger was conditioned upon the consummation of the IPO by Holdings.~~ 1118

On(Registrant’s ~~June 11,~~telephone ~~2003~~number, ~~the~~including ~~IPO~~area and related Merger closed. Holdings also consummated a concurrent private placement in the U.S. under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At closing, Holdings issued 4,500,000 common shares at a price of $16.00 per share for gross proceeds of CND$72,000,000. The common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "HCY". code)

~~Pursuant to~~ITEM the terms of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of voting common stock of The Hockey Company was converted into one Exchangeable Share. A letter of transmittal is being delivered by the Company to all of its stockholders, containing instructions for exchange of share certificates representing the voting common stock for share certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares. These Exchangeable Shares may be exchanged for an equivalent number of common shares of Holdings, subject to certain adjustments in the event, among other things, of a stock split or similar event. However, upon exercise of the exchange right by a U.S. holder, the common shares will not be delivered by Holdings to such U.S. holder until either a registration statement is filed by Holdings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 1(~~the "SEC"~~b) and is declared effective by the SEC registering the common shares, which will not occur earlier than six months from the closing of the IPO, or a private placement of the common shares by Holdings is completed in accordance with U.~~S. securities laws. If the registration statement to be filed by Holdings is not yet~~ Changes declared effective by the SEC and the common shares are delivered to a U.S. holder of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to a private placement, the common shares will be subject to resale restrictions under the U.S. securities laws and such common shares may not be sold in ~~Canada~~Control ~~for a period~~ of at least six months from the date of receipt of the common shares by such U.S. holder. Once the registration statement to be filed by Holdings is declared effective by the SEC, all common shares received in exchange for the Exchangeable Shares may be resold in Canada pursuant to the prospectus being filed by Holdings with the securities regulatory authorities in each province and territory in Canada in connection with its IPO or relevant exemptions under Canadian securities law. Accordingly, existing holders of The Hockey Company's voting common stock will have an opportunity to own common shares of Holdings although their ability to resell the common shares may be limited.

On April 7, 2004, The Hockey Company Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent of The Hockey Company (the “Company”), and Reebok International Ltd. (“Reebok”) entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which Holdings has agreed, among other things, to recommend that the holders of Common Shares (as defined below) accept the offer (the “Offer”), which Reebok has agreed to make no later than April 28, 2004, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Holdings, including common shares of Holdings issuable upon (i) the conversion or exchange, in accordance with their terms, of all non-voting exchangeable common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Exchangeable Shares”), of the Company, including Exchangeable Shares outstanding as of the date of the Support Agreement or issuable pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or other rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares; and (ii) the exercise of stock options or other rights granted by Holdings to acquire common shares (collectively, the “Common Shares”). Reebok has agreed to offer the holders of Common Shares cash consideration of CDN$21.25 per share for each Common Share held. The Offer is conditioned upon certain events, including the valid deposit and non-withdrawal under the Offer of at least 66 2/3% (on a fully-diluted basis taking into account the Exchangeable Shares and all options, warrants or other rights exercisable for Common Shares or Exchangeable Shares) of the Common Shares.

In order to participate in the Offer, holders of the Exchangeable Shares of the Company will be permitted to conditionally exercise their exchange rights attaching to the Exchangeable Shares, which rights provide for the put to Holdings of such Exchangeable Shares in return for an equal number of Common Shares, and then tender such Common Shares into the Offer. In accordance with the terms of the Exchangeable Shares, the exchange rights may be conditionally exercised by delivering to Holdings within the requisite amount of time prior to the expiration of the Offer a duly completed Put Request (as such term is defined in Exhibit A to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company). The effectiveness of any such exercise of the exchange right shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of all conditions to the closing of the Offer.

In addition, pursuant to the Support Agreement, Holdings has agreed that, as soon as practicable after certain conditions are met, including Reebok's acquisition of at least 66 2/3% (or such lower percentage, but in any event not 50% or lower than 50%) of the issued and outstanding Common Shares pursuant to the Offer, Holdings will effect the merger of a newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings with and into the Company (the "Merger"), without a meeting of stockholders of the Company, in accordance with Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Pursuant to the Merger, each then outstanding Exchangeable Share which had not been conditionally exchanged and tendered into the Offer will be converted into the right to receive the same price per share, CDN$21.25 in cash, being offered by the Offeror in the Offer, subject to Section 262 of the DGCL regarding appraisal rights.

A circular describing the Offer and other materials constituting the Offer will be mailed no later than April 28, 2004 to each holder of record of Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares.

In connection with the Offer, simultaneously with the execution of the Support Agreement, Reebok entered into a Lock-up Agreement, dated April 7, 2004,

with certain principal holders of Exchangeable Shares and two executive officers of Holdings, pursuant to which such parties have agreed to conditionally exercise their exchange rights attaching to the Exchangeable Shares and tender the Common Shares that they hold into the Offer, subject to limited conditions.
