No Offer or Solicitation This communication is neither an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, the solicitation of any vote, consent or approval in any jurisdiction pursuant to or in connection with the CSG Transaction or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law. Additional Information and Where to Find It These materials may be deemed to be solicitation material in respect of the CSG Transaction. In connection with the CSG Transaction, Revelyst, a subsidiary of Vista Outdoor, filed with the SEC on January 16, 2024 a registration statement on Form S-4 (which was declared effective by the SEC on March 22, 2024 and was subsequently amended by the post-effective amendment filed by Revelyst on October 16, 2024 and declared effective by the SEC on October 18, 2024) in connection with the proposed issuance of shares of common stock of Revelyst to Vista Outdoor stockholders pursuant to the CSG Transaction, which Form S-4 includes a proxy statement of Vista Outdoor that also constitutes a prospectus of Revelyst (the “proxy statement/prospectus”). INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ANY AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CSG TRANSACTION, THE SVP TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES TO EACH TRANSACTION. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to each of our stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting relating to the approval of the CSG Transaction. Investors and stockholders may obtain the proxy statement/prospectus and any other documents free of charge through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by Vista Outdoor are available free of charge on our website at www.vistaoutdoor.com. Participants in Solicitation Vista Outdoor, Revelyst, CSG Elevate II Inc., CSG Elevate III Inc. and CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s. and their respective directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be “participants” in the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders in respect of the CSG Transaction. Information about our directors and executive officers is set forth in our proxy statement on Schedule 14A for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on July 24, 2024, and subsequent statements of changes in beneficial ownership on file with the SEC. These documents are available free of charge through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information regarding the interests of potential participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Transaction, which may, in some cases, be different than those of our stockholders generally, is also included in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the CSG Transaction.



Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as included in this presentation are supplemental measures that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before other income/(expense), interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, excluding certain non-recurring and non-cash items. We calculate adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Vista Outdoor management believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide investors with an important perspective on Vista Outdoor’s core profitability and help investors analyze underlying trends in its business and evaluate its performance on an absolute basis and relative to its peers. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, GAAP net income and GAAP net income margin. Vista Outdoor’s definitions may differ from those used by other companies. Vista Outdoor has not reconciled adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to GAAP net income or GAAP net income margin guidance because Vista Outdoor does not provide guidance for net income, which is a reconciling item for Adjusted EBITDA. GAAP net income is also a reconciling item between GAAP net income margin and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin. Accordingly, a reconciliation to net income and net income margin is not available without unreasonable effort.

Illustrative Vista Outdoor Stockholder Impact at Closing For Each Vista Outdoor Share Held at Closing (1), A Stockholder Receives 1 One Share Vista Outdoor $25.75 Transaction Cash Consideration One Share 2 One Share Revelsyt ~$19.25 (2) Transaction Cash Consideration Tax Consequences of Transactions The Kinetic transaction will be treated as a taxable sale of each Vista Outdoor share held by a stockholder in exchange for (i) a Revelyst share and (ii) $25.75 in cash consideration That cash consideration will not be treated as a dividend and is instead treated as part of the merger consideration Stockholders will generally recognize gain or loss in the Kinetic transaction equal to the difference between (i) their tax basis in the Vista Outdoor shares they exchange and (ii) the sum of the cash consideration and the fair market value of the Revelyst shares they receive as merger consideration As a result, stockholders will be permitted to recover their tax basis in their Vista Outdoor shares and will take a fair market value tax basis in the Revelyst shares they receive as part of the merger consideration in the Kinetic transaction. Stockholders may recognize additional gain or loss in the Revelyst transaction if there is any difference between (i) their tax basis in their Revelyst shares and (ii) the cash consideration they receive in the Revelyst transaction Vista Outdoor does not expect any of that cash consideration to be treated as a dividend and believes it should be treated as merger consideration Given the expected closing timing for the Revelyst transaction, any gain or loss on the Revelyst transaction is likely to be short-term capital gain or loss (meaning that preferential rates for long-term capital gain for eligible Revelyst stockholders will likely not be available) Note: 1. October 18, 2024 is the record date for the Special Meeting 2. Management estimate as of October 21, 2024 (the date of filing the definitive proxy statement) based on expected net cash at Revelyst as of the closing of the Revelyst transaction assuming a closing of December 31, 2024
