Outdoor Holding Settles with Digital Cash Processing for $4.4 Million

Outdoor Holding entered into a settlement agreement with Innovative Computer Professionals, d/b/a Digital Cash Processing, resolving the previously disclosed litigation pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to pay $4.4M in full and final settlement of the matter. Upon payment, the parties will file a dismissal with prejudice. The agreement includes customary mutual releases, but does not release certain non-affiliate third-party contractors. The settlement does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company or its subsidiary. After careful evaluation, the Board of Directors determined that resolving the matter at this stage eliminates ongoing uncertainty and substantial future legal costs. While the Company was prepared to continue defending the case, further litigation would have required significant time, expense, and executive attention. By bringing the matter to a close, the Company eliminates uncertainty and allows its leadership team to devote its full focus to operational execution, strategic initiatives, and long-term value creation. The Company expects to record a one-time charge of approximately $4.4M in the current quarter, the impact of which will be partially offset by a reduction in budgeted operational legal expense over the next several years. The settlement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's liquidity, capital resources, or ongoing operations.
