December 5, 2008. Dear Valued Bushnell Customer,Re: New, updated rebates and our third party processing firm. The third party rebate processing company (Continental Promotions Group or CPG) that was responsible for processing rebate claims and issuing mail-in-rebate checks for Bushnell branded products filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition earlier this month. The funds provided to them by Bushnell Outdoor Products (and other companies) are no longer available to satisfy the rebate checks CPG issued on behalf of Bushnell and other companies. Although we have already funded these rebates once through CPG, Bushnell is proud to stand behind our commitment to our loyal customer base by funding the checks a second time through our new rebate provider. We suggest that you should not cash the refund check you recently received for such products (dated on or before 11.26.08), as it will not clear the bank (bounce). We apologize for any inconvenience, delay or confusion this may cause. We are doing everything in our power to promptly resolve the situation.Accordingly, we request that you take the following actions: • If you are holding or receive a rebate check for any Bushnell branded products (including Uncle Mike’s) which is dated on or before November 26, 2008, please do not cash the check, as it will not clear the bank (bounce). We are in the process of sending you a new, guaranteed check that is due to arrive before the end of December. • If you have not yet mailed in your rebate claim materials, please send the required information to: ONIX 400/200 ($100 or $50 rebate)Bushnell Rebate Center Offer #493-2PO Box 751619El Paso TX 88575-1619(888) 326-6187www.web-rebates.comInfinity Binocular ($100 rebate)Bushnell Rebate CenterOffer #493-3PO Box 751620El Paso TX 88575-1620(888) 326-6187www.web-rebates.comRainguard Rain Jacket offerBushnell Rebate CenterOffer #493-4PO Box 751621El Paso TX 88575-1621(888) 326-6187www.web-rebates.comScout 1000 ($50 rebate)Bushnell Rebate CenterOffer #493-5PO Box 751622El Paso TX 88575-1622(888) 326-6187www.web-rebates.comExcursion EX/Back Pack offerBushnell Rebate CenterOffer #493-6PO Box 751623El Paso TX 88575-1623(888) 326-6187www.web-rebates.comIf you would like to check the status of your rebate check, you may do so be calling or visiting:(888) 326-6187 and website
