Re: Your Sport Chalet Stock, Action Required
Dear Stockholder:
As previously announced, Sport Chalet, Inc. (Sport Chalet), Vestis Retail Group, LLC (Vestis) and a subsidiary of
Vestis (Merger Sub) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger on June 30, 2014 pursuant to which Vestis and Merger Sub agreed to acquire all of the outstanding Class A and Class B shares of Sport Chalet (the
Shares). On July 3, 2014, Vestis and Merger Sub launched a cash tender offer to acquire the Shares (the Offer), and by now you should have received the related offer to purchase and other offer documents (collectively,
the Offer Documents), which include the terms of the Offer and instructions for tendering your Shares in the Offer.
We are writing this letter to encourage you to tender all of your shares in the Offer as soon as possible
to increase the likelihood that you receive $1.20 per Share for your Shares, rather than $1.04 per Share.
As described
in the Offer Documents, Vestis is offering to purchase all of the Shares at a price per Share of $1.20. If, however, the number of Shares tendered into the Offer (together with the Shares that Vestis has separately agreed to purchase from Sport
Chalets founding family members immediately after consummation of the Offer) by midnight, New York City time, at the end of August 1, 2014 (the Expiration Time), does not constitute at least 90 percent of each class of shares
of Sport Chalet on a fully diluted basis, the price to be paid to Sport Chalet stockholders in the Offer will be reduced to $1.04 per Share. Therefore, if you fail to tender your Shares in the Offer by the Expiration Time, you and the other Sport
Chalet stockholders may not receive the greater consideration of $1.20 per Share.
The Board of Directors of Sport Chalet has
unanimously recommended that you tender all of your shares in the Offer. If you have not already done so, we urge you to provide your tender instructions as soon as possible.
If you have any questions about the Offer, please contact the Information Agent, Georgeson Inc., at (866) 856-6388.
Very truly yours,
Sport Chalet, Inc.
Exhibit 99.1
Additional Information
This communication is neither an offer
to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of the common stock of Sport Chalet or any other securities. Merger Sub and Vestis have filed a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and the offer to purchase Class A and Class B shares of Sport Chalet will only be made pursuant to the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and related documents filed as a part of the Schedule TO. INVESTORS AND
SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ BOTH THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT, AS FILED AND AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND SPORT CHALETS SOLICITATION/ RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 14D-9, AS FILED AND AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO
TIME, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE OFFER. Investors and security holders may obtain a free copy of these statements and other documents filed with the SEC at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by
directing such requests to Georgeson Inc. by mail at 480 Washington Boulevard, 26th Floor, Jersey City, NJ 07310 or by calling (866) 856-6388.
