On November 7, 2012, Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc. entered into an Amendment (the "Amendment") to Douglas J. Langston’s employment agreement dated June 28, 2010 (previously disclosed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2010).

The Amendment extends the termination date set forth in Mr. Langston’s original employment agreement to December 31, 2013. Mr. Langston’s base salary will be $213,897 for fiscal year 2013. Mr. Langston will be eligible to receive an annual cash incentive award for fiscal year 2012 and 2013, in the target amounts of forty percent (40%) of base salary and $80,000, respectively, payable for the achievement of performance goals established by the Company’s compensation committee. Pursuant to the Amendment, in the event that the Company terminates Mr. Langston without Cause (as such term is defined in the Amendment), Mr. Langston will receive (i) severance payments in equal monthly installments (less applicable withholding taxes) for a period of nine (9) months and (ii) if Mr. Langston elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA, and provided that he constitutes a qualified beneficiary under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company will reimburse Mr. Langston for the same level of health coverage and benefits as in effect for Executive on the day immediately preceding the date of termination until the earlier of (A) nine (9) months following the date of Mr. Langston’s termination, or (B) the date upon which Executive and his eligible dependents become covered under similar plans.

The Amendment is attached to this filing as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
