Item 8.01    Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on July 28, 2021, Traeger, Inc. (“Traeger” or the “Company”) entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Original Stockholders Agreement”) with AEA Investors Fund VI LP, AEA TGP Holdco LP, 2594868 Ontario Limited, and TCP Traeger Holdings SPV LLC (the “Investor Stockholders”).

On January 23, 2024, Bruce Taylor (“Plaintiff”) filed a putative class action complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery, styled Bruce Taylor v. Raul Alvarez, et al., C.A. No. 2024-0058-JTL (Del. Ch.) (the “Action”). The Complaint sought declaratory and injunctive relief, challenging certain provisions of the Stockholders Agreement that required the prior consent of the Investor Stockholders for appointing or terminating the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO Consent Provision”).

In response to the Action, on April 30, 2024, Traeger’s Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement (the “Amendment”). This Amendment expressly permits the Company to appoint or terminate the Chief Executive Officer without prior consent of the Investor Stockholders if the Board determines that such action is necessary to comply with its fiduciary duties under Delaware law (the “Revised CEO Authority”).

On May 8, 2024, the Court granted a Voluntary Dismissal Order dismissing the Action as moot and retaining jurisdiction solely to adjudicate Plaintiff’s counsel’s anticipated application for attorneys’ fees and expenses (the “Voluntary Dismissal Order”). The Court’s dismissal was entered without any finding of wrongdoing by the Company, its directors, or any other parties.

Following the entry of the Voluntary Dismissal Order, the parties engaged in arm’s-length negotiations. As a result, Traeger and/or its insurer(s) have agreed to pay Plaintiff’s counsel, on behalf of all Defendants, a total of $390,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses (the “Mootness Fee”). This payment fully satisfies any claims by Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s counsel for attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses associated with the Action.

The Court has not and will not pass judgment on the amount of the Mootness Fee.

On December 6, 2024, the Court entered an order closing the Action, subject in part to the Company filing an affidavit with the Court confirming that this Report on Form 8-K has been filed and constitutes notice to the putative class action for purposes of Court of Chancery Rule 23.
