K2 Inc. (NYSE:KTO) today announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its outstanding 7?% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 482732AE4) (the ?Notes?), and a related consent solicitation to amend the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued (the ?Indenture?). The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made in connection with the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Jarden Corporation (?Jarden?), K2 Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jarden (?Merger Sub?), and K2 Inc. (?K2?), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into K2, with K2 surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jarden (the ?Merger?). The tender offer and consent solicitation are made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the related Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 18, 2007 (the ?Offer to Purchase?) and the related Consent and Letter of Transmittal, and are conditioned upon, among other things, the consummation of the Merger.

The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, on Tuesday, August 14, 2007, unless amended, extended or earlier terminated (the ?Expiration Date?). In order to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration for tendered Notes, holders must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes and validly deliver and not validly revoke their consents at or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, unless extended or amended (the ?Consent Date?). Tendered Notes may not be validly withdrawn and delivered consents may not be validly revoked after the Consent Date.

The ?Total Consideration? to be paid for each Note validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Consent Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, will be paid in cash and calculated using the yield of the 3.625% U.S. Treasury Note due July 15, 2009 (the ?Reference Security?) as displayed on the Bloomberg Government Pricing Monitor Page BBT5. The Total Consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be calculated as set forth in the Offer to Purchase and determined in accordance with standard market practice, based on the bid-side price of the Reference Security on the Price Determination Date (as defined below) plus a fixed spread of 50 basis points, minus the accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent interest payment date for the Notes to, but not including, the scheduled initial payment date.

The Total Consideration includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the ?Consent Payment?), which will be payable only in respect of Notes purchased that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and consents that are validly delivered and not validly revoked on or prior to the Consent Date. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Date and at or prior to the Expiration Date will not be eligible to receive the Consent Payment, and accordingly will only be eligible to receive an amount equal to the Total Consideration less the Consent Payment. Holders whose Notes are accepted for payment will also be paid accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable payment date for Notes purchased in the tender offer. K2 expects that the ?Price Determination Date? will be 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on Tuesday, July 31, 2007, unless the tender offer and consent solicitation are extended or amended.

In connection with the tender offer, K2 is soliciting consents to proposed amendments to the Indenture, which will eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default, delete the covenant relating to the merger and consolidation of K2 and certain of its subsidiaries and amend certain terms of the defeasance and discharge provisions (and make related changes in the Notes and delete the form of supplemental indenture for subsequent guarantors). Holders may not validly tender their Notes without also validly delivering their consents or validly deliver consents without also validly tendering their Notes.

For Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Consent Date and that are accepted for payment, settlement will occur on the initial payment date which will be the first business day following the Price Determination Date on which all conditions to the tender offer have been satisfied or waived, which is expected to be Wednesday, August 8, 2007. For Notes that have been validly tendered after the Consent Date and that are accepted for payment, settlement will occur on the final payment date, which will be promptly after the Expiration Date, which is expected to be Wednesday, August 15, 2007, if the Expiration Date is not extended or terminated.

The tender offer and consent solicitation are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of consents sufficient to approve the proposed amendments to the Indenture and the Merger having occurred or occurring substantially concurrent with the initial payment date. The purpose of the tender offer is to acquire all outstanding Notes. The purpose of the consent solicitation is to amend the Indenture to effect the proposed amendments, as described in the Offer to Purchase.
