The Parties agree that Buyers shall, at their sole cost and expense and on the terms and conditions satisfactory to Buyers in their sole discretion and within a reasonable time period following the date hereof, purchase an insurance policy that will insure the self-insured retention payments payable from time to time pursuant to claims made under the Easton Product Liability Insurance Policy (the “ Product Liability Deductible Policy ”), naming Buyers as the primary insured. The premium payment made by Buyers for the Product Liability Deductible Policy shall be considered an increase in the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Sections 2.3 of the Agreement. Any retention payments made on account of the Product Liability Deductible Policy (i) from the date hereof through December 12, 2016, shall be borne equally between Sellers and their Related Parties, on one hand, and Buyers and their Related Parties, on the other hand, and (ii) after December 12, 2016 through June 17, 2019 (the expiration date of the Easton Product Liability Insurance Policy), shall be borne solely by Buyers and their Related Parties; provided , however , that in no event shall Sellers and their Related Parties be obligated to pay more than an aggregate $375,000 pursuant to the foregoing clause (i). Buyers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnified Persons for any retention payments payable by any Seller Indemnified Person pursuant to claims made under the Product Liability Deductible Policy and/or Easton Product Liability Insurance Policy from December 12, 2016 through June 17, 2019. The indemnification provided hereunder shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.5 or 8.6 of the Agreement.
Any payments to be made by Sellers on account of retention payments payable hereunder shall be paid (i) first, by set off against any Earn-Out Amounts then due and payable (but not yet paid), (ii) second, from the remaining escrowed funds, and (iii) finally, directly from Sellers or Owner Guarantors in accordance with this letter agreement and the Agreement. Any amounts paid by Buyers (but not the Sellers) for any retention payments shall be considered an expense for purposes of calculating EBITDA of the Business.
Seller Representative and Sellers covenant and agree that (i) no claims shall be made under the Product Liability Deductible Policy, the Easton Product Liability Insurance Policy or the Easton Product Liability Excess Insurance Policy (together, the “ Product Liability Policies ”) without the express written consent of Buyer Representative or one of its Related Person, (ii) notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.7 of the Agreement to the contrary, Buyers shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claims brought on account of any claims made that are covered or reasonably likely to be covered by any of the Product Liability Policies and Buyers shall be entitled to compromise or settle such claim(s) in their sole discretion and (iii) Seller Representative shall use his best efforts to (a) name Buyers as the primary insureds on the Product Liability Policies (b) to the extent applicable, remove First Insurance Funding of Canada Inc. as additional named insured on any of the Product Liability Policies and (c) remove any lien that First Insurance Funding of Canada Inc. may have on any of the Product Liability Policies. If any payment shall be collected or received by Sellers, Legacy Sellers or Seller Representative on account of the Product Liability Policies, such applicable recipient shall, or Seller Representative shall cause such recipient to, deliver such payment to Buyer Representative, and, until so delivered, such payment shall be held in trust by such holder as the sole and exclusive property of Buyer Representative.
Sellers acknowledge and agree that the obligations agreed to by Buyers pursuant to the guarantees and consents entered into in connection with the Closing shall not in any way expand the obligations of, or liabilities assumed by, Buyers to the extent





not already assumed by Buyers pursuant to the Agreement, notwithstanding anything contained in such consents or guarantees to the contrary.

Exhibit 99.1

Fox Factory Holding Corp. Closes Asset Purchase of Race Face Performance and Easton Cycling Businesses

SCOTTS VALLEY, California - December 15, 2014 - Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FOXF) ("FOX") today announced the closing of the previously announced acquisition of the assets of Race Face and Easton Cycling (together "Race Face/Easton"), effective December 12, 2014. Race Face/Easton designs, manufactures, and distributes high-performance mountain and road bike wheels and other high-performance cycling components including cranks, bars, stems, and seat posts, globally to OEMs and the aftermarket.
“We are very pleased to have completed the acquisition and are excited to begin working with Chris Tutton and the Race Face/Easton team,” stated Larry L. Enterline, FOX's Chief Executive Officer. “Fitting squarely into our strategic initiative to increase penetration into existing and adjacent product categories, we believe this transaction, when combined with our current bike business, will help drive improved bike product sales and profitability over the long-term.”
FOX, through its various subsidiaries, acquired the assets of Race Face/Easton for approximately $30.0 million, including approximately $0.5 million of estimated closing adjustments. The transaction was financed with debt and includes a potential earn-out opportunity of up to a maximum of $16.9 million payable over the next two fiscal years and contingent upon the achievement of certain performance-based financial targets. On a combined basis, Race Face/Easton generated approximately $23.6 million in unaudited net sales and unaudited Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $4.3 million in its fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. FOX expects Race Face/Easton revenue growth in the high single-digit range, and expects to invest in Race Face/Easton to strengthen its infrastructure and maximize the long-term potential of the business. The Company continues to plan on providing 2015 guidance along with its fourth quarter and fiscal 2014 earnings announcement.

Currency Translation

All reported dollar amounts for Race Face/Easton’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2014 have been converted from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars based on an average exchange rate for the year, then ended of 0.92. The purchase price of the acquired assets, including the potential earn-out opportunity, was denominated in Canadian dollars, and has been converted to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate realized to affect the transaction of 0.87.
