provider of team sports and active apparel. The acquisition will provide BAUER
with full team apparel capabilities, including the design, development and
manufacturing of uniforms for ice hockey, roller hockey, lacrosse, soccer and
other team sports.


"The acquisition will allow us to enter the large and growing uniform market,
where we did not have the capabilities to compete previously," said Kevin Davis,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Bauer Performance Sports. "This is an
exciting opportunity for us as it will enable us to become a one-stop-shop for
our retail partners around the world who will be able to rely solely on BAUER
for their complete equipment and team apparel needs for both ice hockey and
lacrosse." 


Founded in 1999, Inaria offers full finishing and embellishment services at its
headquarters facility in Toronto and provides a full-line of team apparel
products, including pro-style jerseys, practice jerseys, socks, warm-up suits
and training apparel for both youth sports programs and the most elite-level

business with a focus on soccer uniforms and products and quickly established
itself as a growing soccer apparel brand. The company's expertise in developing
quality products with competitive pricing and rapid turnaround time quickly
propelled the brand into ice hockey and other sports. Inaria's co-founders have
entered into employment agreements and will remain with the company, which will
continue to service soccer and other sports.


The purchase price for Inaria will be Cdn $7.0 million in cash, and the
acquisition is currently expected to close on or about October 17, subject to
satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
