ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) has made an equity grant of 145,456 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Mr. Jason Young.  Such grant was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 19, 2013 in connection with Mr. Young’s re-appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Stock Grant”).  Mr. Young previously served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and resigned on August 16, 2011.  Mr. Young was re-appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on August 7, 2013.  The Stock Grant was made to Mr. Young following his period of non-employment as part of his inducement to re-enter into employment with the Company. 

The Stock Grant was unanimously approved by the Company's compensation committee on August 19, 2013.  The Company’s compensation committee consists of all of the Company's Independent Directors.  In reliance upon the exception provided by paragraph (c)(4) of Rule 5635 of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules under the Rules of the NASDAQ OMX U.S. Exchange, the Company is not required to obtain shareholder approval with respect to issuances to a person following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to the individual's entering into employment with the Company, provided such issuances are approved by either the Company's independent compensation committee or a majority of the Company's Independent Directors. 

The shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Stock Grant are not subject to vesting or any conditions of forfeiture, and are restricted only to the extent applicable under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder.  The Stock Grant has been valued by the Compensation Committee at $701,098, based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on August 16, 2013.
