Item 7.01.     Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 14, 2023, Traeger, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a joint press release with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (the “CPSC”) to announce a voluntary recall of the Company’s Flatrock Griddle (the “Flatrock Recall”). A copy of the joint press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1.

The Company expects to recognize the impact of the Flatrock Recall in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Based on these estimates, the Company is reiterating its guidance for the full year ended December 31, 2023 as previously announced on November 8, 2023.
