This Amendment No. 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 15, 2017, amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement filed on Schedule TO (as amended or supplemented, the “ Schedule TO ”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2017, by Aces Acquisition Corp., a Minnesota corporation (“ Purchaser ”) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Textron Specialized Vehicles ”), which is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Textron Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Textron ”), Textron Specialized Vehicles and Textron.  The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (each, a “ Share ” and collectively, the “ Shares ”) of Arctic Cat Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“ Arctic Cat ”), at a price of $18.50 per Share, payable net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of taxes required by applicable law, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated February 2, 2017 (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “ Offer to Purchase ”), and the related letter of transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented, the “ Letter of Transmittal ,” and together with the Offer to Purchase, the “ Offer ”), copies of which are attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.  The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules thereto, and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated herein by reference with respect to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent provided herein.  All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO.

Item 11. Additional Information.

The Offer to Purchase and Item 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent Item 11 incorporates by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below:

The information set forth in Section 11.  “Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Arctic Cat; Other Matters” is hereby amended and supplemented by amending and restating in its entirety section (f)  Recent Developments Relating to Arctic Cat as follows:

Following the announcement that Textron and Purchaser had entered into the Merger Agreement with Arctic Cat on January 24, 2017, on February 8, 2017, a complaint captioned LR Trust v. Arctic Cat Inc., et al. Case No. 17-CV-426 was filed in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota naming as defendants Arctic Cat and the Arctic Cat Board. This action purports to be a class action brought by a shareholder alleging, among other things, that Arctic Cat and the Arctic Cat Board knowingly or with deliberate recklessness omitted material information from its Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 in violation of Section 14(d)(4) and Rule 14d-9 of the Exchange Act, and made untrue statements of material facts in its Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 in violation of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act.

On February 10, 2017, a complaint captioned Pajnigar v. Arctic Cat Inc., et al. Case No. 17-CV-443 was filed in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota naming as defendants Arctic Cat and the Arctic Cat Board.  This action purports to be a class action brought by a shareholder alleging, among other things, that Arctic Cat and the Arctic Cat Board made untrue statements of material facts in its Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 in violation of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and knowingly or with deliberate recklessness omitted material information from its Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 in violation of Section 14(d)(4) and Rule 14d-9 of the Exchange Act.

On February 13, 2017, plaintiff Pajnigar filed a motion for (a) a temporary restraining order seeking to temporarily enjoin the completion of the transactions, (b) limited expedited discovery and (c) a prompt post-expedited discovery hearing on a forthcoming motion for a preliminary injunction, which has yet to be decided by the Court.

The outcome of the above litigations cannot be predicted with certainty . A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the transactions, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin completion of the transactions.
