This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Schedule TO”) relates to the offer by Everest Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vestis Retail Group, LLC (“Vestis”), a Delaware limited liability company, to purchase all outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (collectively, the “Shares”), of Sport Chalet, Inc., a Delaware corporation, at a purchase price equal to $1.20 per share (as such price per share may be reduced pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among Sport Chalet, Inc., Purchaser and Vestis, dated June 30, 2014), net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 3, 2014 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). As described more fully in the Offer to Purchase, in the event that, prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of August 1, 2014 (the “Initial Expiration Date”), the number of Shares tendered into the Offer (together with Shares to be acquired by Vestis or Purchaser pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Shares issuable pursuant to the Top-Up Option, in each case, as described in the Offer to Purchase), does not result in Vestis and Purchaser collectively owning shares equal to or in excess of 90% of each of the Class A common stock and the Class B common stock on a fully diluted basis (as calculated pursuant to the Merger Agreement), the offer price will be reduced from $1.20 to $1.04 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures but that have not been delivered in settlement of such guarantee will be excluded from the calculations to determine whether the required 90% thresholds have been met in order to avoid a reduction in the offer price. Purchaser will announce any such price reduction by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day following the Initial Expiration Date and extend the Offer for 10 business days from such announcement date. If the Offer is extended pursuant to the foregoing, holders may withdraw any previously tendered Shares by following the procedures described in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.

This Schedule TO is being filed on behalf of Purchaser. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated herein by reference with respect to Items 1 through 9 and 11 of this Schedule TO. The exhibits identified in Item 12 and attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference with respect to Items 5 and 11 of this Schedule TO.
