**Letter to Chaparral and Robalo Team Members from Brad Nelson** 

April 7, 2026

Chaparral and Robalo Team Members,

I'm reaching out to introduce myself and share a bit about MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc., better known to most as MasterCraft, the company behind the MasterCraft, Crest, and Balise brands.

All of us at MasterCraft are thrilled to welcome Chaparral and Robalo into one family as we begin this new chapter together. We've long admired what your team has built: two standout brands with passionate followings and established track records of success in recreational boating and sport fishing. Joining our two companies together represents an important milestone not just for us, but for the marine industry as a whole. Together, we'll be in an even stronger position to shape the future of boating.

A little more about who we are and who I am. MasterCraft, Crest, and Balise serve the premium performance and leisure categories. Our mission is simple: Create superior on-water experiences. MasterCraft is the #1 wake/tow brand in the world. Headquartered in Vonore, Tennessee, our team wakes up every day focused on creating memories that last through differentiated innovation, unrelenting focus on the consumer, and unmatched quality. In many ways, that mission reflects exactly what you already do so well.

With this combination, we see meaningful benefits for our teams, dealers, and customers. With five proven and complementary brands, we'll offer a broader and more diversified portfolio that can serve a wide range of boaters. Our dealer networks complement each other, with coastal and inland locations helping to extend our reach in key areas. And by sharing ideas from our product development, manufacturing, and purchasing strengths, we'll have greater scale and capabilities that help us invest in all our brands more efficiently by bringing innovative and meaningful products to market even faster. I'm excited about the opportunity we'll have to learn from each other, share best practices, and help make each of our brands stronger and more competitive.

Just as important, we know how special Chaparral and Robalo are. We intend to preserve that as well as the strong culture you have built. We anticipate that both brands will continue operating independently as a separate operating unit within the combined company. We expect your identity, teams, dealer and supplier relationships, and operating model to remain in place. Put simply, we don't expect much to change after the transaction closes.

As for me, I couldn't be more excited to meet you. I look forward to listening and learning. As an avid boater and outdoorsman, I am a user of the varied and distinct types of boats that we produce. My background is multi-industry, and I am a believer in culture and teamwork.

Our recent announcement was only the first step. We expect the transaction to close in the second calendar quarter of 2026, pending shareholder approval and the completion of customary closing requirements. Until then, both companies will continue to operate separately and independently. It's business as usual. After close, you can remain focused on the task at hand as you do normally.

You already design, build, and support incredible products and extraordinary brands that resonate with boaters around the world. There is so much to be proud of. We look forward to the opportunity to learn from you, collaborate with you, and build on our shared legacy of excellence, together.

Sincerely,

/s/ Brad Nelson

Brad Nelson

CEO, MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc.
