FAIRCHILD SPORTS AND OXTAR BOOTS END DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (TUSTIN, California) Fairchild Sports today announced its distribution agreement with Oxtar Boots has been mutually terminated. As of today the new distributor the boots is Helmet House. All customers of the boot company and all those with questions regarding future orders of the product should now call 800-421-7247. Fairchild Sports will no longer be accepting orders for Oxtar boots as of February 23. Fairchild Sports will continue to honor warranty claims for 12 months (through February 2007) on any Oxtar boots purchased through Fairchild Sports. Fairchild officials commented that the company has taken great pride in helping to launch the Oxtar brand in the US and that it wishes the company success in the future. The move comes as Fairchild Sports narrows its focus to concentrate on its core brands and on its OEM business. Fairchild’s brand mix includes highly engineered German products, such as the Hein Gericke brand of motorcycle gear and the G-Line for Women. The company’s OEM customers include Harley-Davidson, Honda and Yamaha Genuine apparel. More, from an open letter issued by Fairchild Sports: FIRST PERSON/OPNION: Via e-mail: Dear Sponsored Riders, Effective immediately Fairchild Sports is no longer the U.S. distributor for Oxtar boots (Please See Press Release Below). Beginning February 23rd, Helmet House will be the exclusive U.S. distributor for all Oxtar products. Please do not prematurely take this as a termination of your sponsorship from Oxtar. All though the future of the program is uncertain at this time, I would assume that Helmet House and Oxtar still intend to continue building the Oxtar brand at the amateur level. As a rider who stands behind the Oxtar product, and who intends to continue wearing it for many years to come, I assure you that I will do everything in my power to ensure a smooth transition of the program to the new distributor. I thank you in advance for your patience and loyalty through the coming weeks.
