On June 13, 2012, Roger L. Werner, Jr., the non-executive Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, established a Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan, as part of his personal long-term investment strategy for asset diversification and liquidity. Under Rule 10b5-1(c), directors and officers may adopt a prearranged plan or contract for the sale of securities of Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") under specified conditions and at specified times. Mr. Werner’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan was adopted during an authorized trading period when Mr. Werner was not in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company or its securities.
Under the terms of Mr. Werner’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan, an authorized third-party broker may commence selling shares of Company common stock on January 1, 2013. The 10b5-1 Trading Plan allows for sales of specified share amounts at specified prices, subject to specified limitations, minimum price thresholds and escalating pricing guidelines. Mr. Werner’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan covers the sale of up to approximately 48,000 shares of Company common stock over a period of 15 months. Mr. Werner’s Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan is scheduled to terminate no later than March 31, 2014.
