2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
PROPOSAL 1
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO
OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
OF COMMON STOCK
The Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable, subject to stockholder approval, amendments to the
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Reverse Stock Split Amendments"), to effect, at the sole discretion of the Board, a
reverse stock split of our Common Stock by combining shares of each such class of Common Stock into a lesser number
of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock at a ratio ranging from any whole number between and including 1-
for-10 and 1-for-50 (the "Reverse Stock Split"), with the exact ratio within such range to be determined by the Board in its
discretion, subject to the Board's authority to abandon the other amendments notwithstanding stockholder approval of
such amendments. The text of the form of Reverse Stock Split Amendments, one of which would be filed with the
Delaware Secretary of State by means of a Certificate of Amendment to amend Article IV to the Certificate of
Incorporation, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A.
By approving this proposal, stockholders will approve alternative amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation pursuant
to which a whole number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock between 10 and 50, inclusive, would be combined
into one share of our Common Stock. Upon receiving stockholder approval, the Board will have the authority, but not the
obligation, in its sole discretion, to elect, without further action on the part of the stockholders, whether to effect the
Reverse Stock Split and, if so, to determine the Reverse Stock Split ratio from among the approved range described
above and to effect the Reverse Stock Split by filing a Certificate of Amendment in the form of Annex A with the Delaware
Secretary of State to be effective as of the Effective Time (as defined below), and all other amendments will be
abandoned.
The Board's decision as to whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split will be based on a number of factors,
including, without limitation, the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the continued listing on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") of our Common Stock, general market and economic conditions, the historical and then-
prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on
the trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock. Although our stockholders may approve the Reverse Stock
Split, we will not effect the Reverse Stock Split if the Board does not deem it to be in the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders.
Because the Reverse Stock Split will decrease the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock by a ratio in the
range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-50 but would not effect a decrease to the number of shares of Common Stock, as applicable,
that the Company is authorized to issue under the Certificate of Incorporation, the proposed Reverse Stock Split
Amendments would result in a relative increase in the number of authorized and unissued shares of our Common Stock.
For more information on the relative increase in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock, see "Principal
Effects of the Reverse Stock Split-Issued and Outstanding Shares of Common Stock" below.
Purpose and Background of the Reverse Stock Split
On January 16, 2026, the Board approved the proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendments for the following reasons:
TRAEGER, INC.
6
2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
•implementing the Reverse Stock Split could be an effective means of regaining compliance with the minimum bid
price requirement for continued listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE;
•continued listing on the NYSE could help to increase broker interest in our Common Stock and may make our
Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of investors. Notably, some trading firms discourage investors
from investing in lower priced stocks that are traded in the over-the-counter market;
•the Reverse Stock Split could decrease trading price volatility for our Common Stock; and
•a higher stock price, which may be achieved through a Reverse Stock Split, could help attract, retain and
motivate employees, even if our Common Stock is no longer trading on the NYSE.
NYSE Requirements for Continued Listing
Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "COOK." For our Common Stock to continue trading on the
NYSE, the Company must comply with various listing standards, including that the Company maintain a minimum average
closing share price of $1.00 per share of Common Stock over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The primary objective
for effecting the Reverse Stock Split, should the Board determine to implement the Reverse Stock Split, would be to
increase the per share trading price of our Common Stock in order to regain compliance with the NYSE's continued listing
minimum price criterion.
On November 19, 2025 (the "Notification Date"), we received a letter from the Regulation Department of the NYSE
notifying us that the 30-trading-day average closing share price for the Company's Common Stock was below the
minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the NYSE pursuant to Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed
Company Manual ("Section 802.01C"). Under Section 802.01C, the Company has a period of six months from receipt of
the notice to regain compliance with the minimum stock price listing requirement. The Company may regain compliance at
any time during the six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the six-month cure
period the Common Stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00
over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. Under the NYSE's rules, if the Company
determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval at its next
annual meeting of stockholders, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share,
and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.
On November 21, 2025, we notified the NYSE that we intend to regain compliance with Section 802.01C through, among
other options, a reverse stock split, for which we would seek stockholder approval no later than at the 2026 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders.
If we fail to regain compliance with the minimum stock price listing requirement by May 19, 2026, the NYSE will provide
written notification that the Company's Common Stock will be delisted. At that time, we may appeal the NYSE's
determination to a Committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange. If we appeal, the Company must state with
specificity the grounds on which we intend to challenge the determination of the NYSE staff. There can be no assurance
that such an appeal would be successful.
If our Common Stock is delisted from the NYSE, the trading market for our Common Stock could become significantly less
liquid, which could further reduce the trading price of our Common Stock and increase the transaction costs of trading in
shares of our Common Stock. Such delisting from the NYSE and continued or further decline in our stock price could also
impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital through equity or debt financing.
If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, it would cause a decrease in the total number of shares of our Common Stock
outstanding and increase the market price of our Common Stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split.
TRAEGER, INC.

2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
IF THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT APPROVED, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN THE LISTING OF OUR COMMON
STOCK ON THE NYSE, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LIQUIDITY AND MARKETABILITY OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.
Investor Interest and Liquidity
In addition, in approving the proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendments, the Board considered that the Reverse Stock
Split and the anticipated resulting increase in the per share price of our Common Stock could encourage increased
investor interest in our Common Stock and promote greater liquidity for our stockholders.
In the event that our Common Stock were to be delisted from the NYSE, our Common Stock would likely trade in the over-
the-counter market. If our Common Stock were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our Common Stock could
be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, and transactions could be delayed.
In addition, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that prohibit them from
investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their
customers, further limiting the liquidity of our Common Stock. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads
in the bid and ask prices for our Common Stock. Additionally, investors may be dissuaded from purchasing lower priced
stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for such stocks.
Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower
priced stocks. A greater price per share of our Common Stock could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our
Common Stock. For all of these reasons, we believe the Reverse Stock Split could potentially increase marketability,
trading volume, and liquidity of our Common Stock.
Decrease Price Volatility
The Board considered that the expected increase in the trading price of our Common Stock as a result of the Reverse
Stock Split could decrease trading price volatility, as currently, small changes in the price of our Common Stock result in
relatively large percentage changes in such price.
Employee Retention
The Board considered that the Company's employees and directors who are compensated in the form of our equity-based
securities may be less incentivized and invested in the Company if our Common Stock is no longer listed on the NYSE.
Accordingly, the Board believes that maintaining the NYSE listing qualifications for our Common Stock can help attract,
retain, and motivate employees and members of our Board.
In light of the factors mentioned above, our Board unanimously approved the proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendments
to effect the Reverse Stock Split as a potential means of increasing and maintaining the price of our Common Stock to
above $1.00 per share to regain compliance with the NYSE's minimum stock price listing requirement.
Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split
The Board believes that stockholder approval of a range of ratios (as opposed to a single reverse stock split ratio) is in the
best interests of our Company and stockholders because it is not possible to predict market conditions at the time the
Reverse Stock Split would be effected, if any. We believe that a range of Reverse Stock Split ratios provides us with the
most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split ratio to be selected by
our Board will be a whole number in a range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-50. The Board can only authorize the filing of one Reverse
Stock Split Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and all other Reverse Stock Split Amendments will be
abandoned. The Board also has the authority to abandon all Reverse Stock Split Amendments.
In determining the Reverse Stock Split ratio and whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split following the receipt
of stockholder approval, the Board will consider a number of factors, including, without limitation:
TRAEGER, INC.
8
2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
•our ability to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on the NYSE;
•the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;
•the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately before and after the Reverse Stock Split;
•the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the
Reverse Stock Split on the trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;
•the anticipated impact of a particular ratio on the number of holders of our Common Stock; and
•prevailing general market and economic conditions.
We believe that granting our Board the authority to set the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split is essential because it allows
us to take these factors into consideration and to react to changing market conditions. If our Board chooses to implement
the Reverse Stock Split, we will make a public announcement regarding the determination of the Reverse Stock Split ratio.
Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split
There are risks associated with the Reverse Stock Split, including that the Reverse Stock Split may not cure our non-
compliance with other NYSE listing requirements or result in a sustained increase in the per share price of our Common
Stock. There is no assurance that:
•the market price per share of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the
reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Reverse Stock Split;
•the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will increase the level of investment in our Common
Stock by institutional investors or increase analyst and broker interest in the Company;
•the Reverse Stock Split will decrease the price volatility of our Common Stock;
•the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will increase our ability to attract and retain employees
and other service providers who receive compensation in the form of our equity-based securities; and
•the market price per share of our Common Stock will either exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum
closing price as required by the NYSE, or that we will otherwise meet the requirements of the NYSE for
continued inclusion for trading on the NYSE. We may be subject to delisting proceedings prior to or following the
stockholders' vote on this proposal, or prior to or following the execution of the Reverse Stock Split due to non-
compliance with other listing requirements.
Stockholders should note that the effect of the Reverse Stock Split, if any, upon the trading price of our Common Stock
cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the price for a share of our Common Stock after
the Reverse Stock Split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock
outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split or, even if it does, that such price will be maintained for any period of time.
Even if an increased per share price can be maintained, the Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results that
have been outlined above under the section entitled "Purpose and Background of the Reverse Stock Split." Moreover,
because some investors may view the Reverse Stock Split negatively, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split
will not adversely impact the market price of our Common Stock.
While our aim is that the Reverse Stock Split will be sufficient to maintain our listing on the NYSE, it is possible that, even
if the Reverse Stock Split results in a bid price for our Common Stock that exceeds $1.00 per share of Common Stock, we
may not be able to continue to satisfy the NYSE's additional requirements and standards for continued listing of our
TRAEGER, INC.
9
2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
Common Stock on the NYSE. In addition, we may be subject to delisting proceedings prior to or following the
stockholders' vote on this proposal, or prior to or following the execution of the Reverse Stock Split due to non-compliance
with other NYSE listing requirements. Specifically, the NYSE listing rules provide that the NYSE will immediately suspend
trading of our Common Stock and commence delisting proceedings, without providing a cure period, if our Common Stock
trades at levels viewed to be abnormally low, which is generally viewed as a price at or below $0.10, or if our average
market capitalization over a consecutive 30 day-trading period is less than $15 million. If this occurred, we would not have
an opportunity to cure these deficiencies, and our Common Stock would be suspended from trading on the NYSE.
We believe that the Reverse Stock Split may result in greater liquidity for our stockholders. However, it is also possible
that such liquidity could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split,
particularly if the price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. If the trading price
of our Common Stock declines after the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the decline in our overall market capitalization
may be greater than would have occurred in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split, which could also result in the delisting
of our Common Stock by the NYSE. Because the Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of our Common
Stock available in the public market, the trading market for our Common Stock may also become more volatile.
In addition, if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, it may increase the number of stockholders who own "odd lots" of
less than 100 shares of Common Stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares (an "odd lot" transaction) may result
in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly "full service" brokers. Therefore, those
stockholders who own fewer than 100 shares of our Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split may be required to
pay higher transaction costs if they sell their shares of our Common Stock.
Any implementation of the Reverse Stock Split will not have an effect on the actual or intrinsic value of our business or a
stockholder's proportional ownership in the Company (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). However, should the
overall value of our Common Stock decline as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, then the actual or intrinsic value of the
shares of our Common Stock held by you would also proportionately decrease as a result of the overall decline in value.
Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
Issued and Outstanding Shares of Common Stock
If the Reverse Stock Split is approved and effected, each holder of our Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split will own a reduced number of shares of our Common Stock upon
effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. As of January 9, 2026, 137,179,315 shares of our Common Stock were issued
and outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split would be effected simultaneously at the same exchange ratio for all outstanding
shares of Common Stock, as required by our Certificate of Incorporation. Except for adjustments that may result from the
treatment of fractional shares (as described below), the Reverse Stock Split would affect all stockholders uniformly and
would not change any stockholder's relative percentage ownership interest in the Company, voting rights, or other rights
that accompany shares of our Common Stock. Shares of our Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split
will remain fully paid and non-assessable, and the par value per share of each class of Common Stock will remain
$0.0001.
The Reverse Stock Split would not have any effect on the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, which would
remain at 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock," and together with our
Common Stock, our "Capital Stock"). Currently no shares of preferred stock are outstanding.
Relative Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock for Issuance
The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the number of authorized shares or the par value of our Capital Stock, which will
remain at 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
TRAEGER, INC.
10
2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
Although the number of authorized shares of our Capital Stock will not change as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the
number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding will be reduced in proportion to the ratio selected by the
Board. Thus, the Reverse Stock Split will effectively increase the number of authorized and unissued shares of our
Common Stock available for future issuance by the amount of the reduction effected by the Reverse Stock Split.
If the proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendments are approved, all or any of the authorized and unissued shares of our
Common Stock may be issued in the future for such corporate purposes and such consideration as the Board deems
advisable from time to time, without further action by the stockholders of our Company and without first offering such
shares to our then current stockholders. When and if additional shares of our Common Stock are issued, these new
shares would have the same voting and other rights and privileges as the currently issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock, including the right to cast one vote per share.
Because our stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any of our unissued shares of Common
Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock will reduce our current stockholders' percentage
ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the absence of a proportionate increase in our
future earnings and book value, an increase in the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock would dilute our
projected future earnings per share, if any, and book value per share of all our outstanding shares of Common Stock. If
these factors were reflected in the price per share of our Common Stock, the potential realizable value of a stockholder's
investment could be adversely affected. An issuance of additional shares could therefore have an adverse effect on the
potential realizable value of a stockholder's investment.
Equity Compensation Plans and Outstanding Equity-Based Awards
We maintain (i) the Traeger, Inc. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the " 2021 Plan"), which is designed primarily to facilitate the
grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees, and consultants of our Company and our subsidiaries, and (ii)
the Traeger, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Plan" and, together with the
2021 Plan, the "Plans"), which is designed primarily to provide directors with an opportunity to defer all or a portion of their
compensation, which is credited in the form of deferred stock units, which are notional units representing the right to
receive shares of our Common Stock issuable under the 2021 Plan. As of January 9, 2026, 2,843,330 restricted shares
(including performance-based restricted shares), 7,819,918 restricted stock units and 2,062,104 performance stock units
were outstanding under the 2021 Plan (assuming performance stock units are earned at "target").
If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders and our Board decides to implement the Reverse Stock Split,
as of the Effective Time, then (i) the total number of restricted shares of our Common Stock (including performance-based
restricted shares), (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting or settlement of outstanding
restricted stock unit, performance stock unit under the Plans, and (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock
remaining available for future awards under the 2021 Plan, as well as any share-based limits in the 2021 Plan, in each
case, will be proportionately reduced based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio selected by our Board, subject to the terms of
the Plans and applicable award agreements. Furthermore, any stock price goals applicable to such awards will be
proportionately increased based on the Reverse Stock Split ratio selected by our Board, subject to the terms of the 2021
Plan and the award agreement.
Effects of the Amendments on our Common Stock
After the Effective Time, each stockholder will own fewer shares of our Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock
Split. Because the Reverse Stock Split will decrease the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock, the
proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendments will result in a relative increase in the number of authorized and unissued
shares of our Common Stock. All outstanding options to purchase shares of our Common Stock, including any held by our
officers and directors, would be adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In particular, the number of shares
TRAEGER, INC.

2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
issuable upon the exercise of each instrument would be reduced, and the exercise price per share, if applicable, would be
increased, in accordance with the terms of each instrument and based on the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split.
For purposes of illustration, the following table contains approximate information relating to the number of shares of our
Common Stock if the Reverse Stock Split is effected at a ratio of: 1-for-10, 1-for-20, 1-for-30, 1-for-40 or 1-for-50, based
on share information as of the close of business on January 9, 2026, but does not give effect to any other changes,
including any issuance of securities after January 9, 2026.

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates, if Applicable
If the proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendments are approved by the Company's stockholders and our Board determines
to effect the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date that
the Certificate of Amendment is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (the "Effective Time"). At the Effective Time,
shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined, automatically and
without any action on the part of the stockholders, into new shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Reverse
Stock Split ratio contained in the Certificate of Amendment.
Registered "Book-Entry" Holders of Common Stock
As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, stockholders will be notified by our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust
Company, LLC ("Equiniti"), that the Reverse Stock Split has been effected. For holders of our Common Stock that are
held in book-entry form, you will not need to take any action to receive post-Reverse Stock Split shares of our Common
Stock. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Equiniti will send to your registered address a transmittal letter
along with a statement of ownership indicating the number of post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Common Stock that you
hold. If applicable, a check representing a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares will also be mailed to your registered
address as soon as practicable after the Effective Time (see "Fractional Shares" below).
Beneficial Holders of Common Stock
Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares of Common Stock held by stockholders in
"street name" (i.e., through a bank, broker or other nominee), in the same manner as registered "book-entry" holders of
TRAEGER, INC.
12
2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
Common Stock. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial
holders holding our Common Stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different
procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split and making payment for fractional shares.
If a stockholder holds shares of our Common Stock with a bank, broker or other nominee and has any questions in this
regard, stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee.
Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock
Equiniti will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates, if applicable. If you
are a stockholder holding pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in certificate form, you will receive a transmittal letter from
Equiniti as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, to the extent required to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The
transmittal letter, if any, will be accompanied by instructions specifying how you can exchange your certificate or
certificates representing the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of our Common Stock for a new statement of ownership.
When you submit your certificate or certificates representing the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of our Common Stock,
your post-reverse stock split shares of our Common Stock will be held electronically in book-entry form in the Direct
Registration System. This means that, instead of receiving a new stock certificate representing the aggregate number of
post-reverse stock split shares you own, you will receive a statement indicating the number of post-Reverse Stock Split
shares you own in book-entry form. We will no longer issue physical stock certificates unless you make a specific request
for a certificate representing your post-Reverse Stock Split ownership interest.
STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY
CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Beginning at the Effective Time, each certificate representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares will be deemed for all
corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Stock Split shares.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares or scrip will be issued if, as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder becomes entitled to a
fractional share because the number of shares of Common Stock they hold before the Reverse Stock Split is not evenly
divisible by the split ratio ultimately determined by the Board. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash
payment in lieu of such fractional share.
Common Stock
Equiniti will aggregate all fractional shares of Common Stock and sell them as soon as practicable after the Effective Time
of the Reverse Stock Split at the then-prevailing prices on the open market, on behalf of the holders of our Common Stock
who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. We
expect that Equiniti will conduct the sale in an orderly fashion at a reasonable pace and that it may take several days to
sell all of the aggregated fractional shares of our Common Stock (the "Aggregated Fractional Shares"). After Equiniti's
completion of such sale, stockholders who would have been entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock will instead
receive a cash payment from Equiniti in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total proceeds of that
sale (the "Total Sale Proceeds").
No Appraisal Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's stockholders will not be entitled to appraisal rights with
respect to the Reverse Stock Split, and we do not intend to independently provide stockholders with any such right.
No Going Private Transaction
TRAEGER, INC.

2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the Reverse Stock Split, the Board does not
intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a "going private transaction" within the
meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
Interests of Certain Persons in the Proposal
Certain of our officers and directors have an interest in this proposal as a result of their ownership of shares of our
Common Stock, as set forth in the section entitled "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."
However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in this proposal that are different from or greater
than those of any of our other stockholders.
Anti-takeover Effects of Proposed Amendments
Release No. 34-15230 of the staff of the SEC requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any action, including the
proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendments discussed herein, that may be used as an anti-takeover mechanism. An
additional effect of the Reverse Stock Split would be to increase the relative amount of authorized but unissued shares of
Common Stock, which may, under certain circumstances, be construed as having an anti-takeover effect. Although not
designed or intended for such purposes, the effect of the increased available shares might be to make more difficult or to
discourage an attempt to take over or otherwise acquire control of the Company (for example, by permitting issuances
that would dilute the stock ownership of a person or entity seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board or
contemplating a tender offer or other change in control transaction). In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation and our
Bylaws include provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions, among things, permit the Board to
issue Preferred Stock with rights senior to those of the Common Stock without any further vote or action by the
stockholders and do not provide for cumulative voting rights, which could make it more difficult for stockholders to effect
certain corporate actions and may delay or discourage a change in control.
Our Board is not presently aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and the
Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not part of any plan by our Board to recommend or implement a series of anti-takeover
measures.
Accounting Treatment of the Reverse Stock Split
If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the par value per share for each class of our Common Stock will remain unchanged
at $0.0001. Accordingly, at the Effective Time, the stated capital on the Company's consolidated balance sheets
attributable to our Common Stock will be reduced in proportion to the size of the Reverse Stock Split ratio, and the
additional paid-in-capital account will be increased by the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our
stockholders' equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged. Net loss per share - basic and diluted will be increased
because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Company does not anticipate that any other
accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in
any period, will arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Continued SEC Reporting Requirements and Stock Listing
After the Effective Time, we would continue to be subject to periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange
Act, and, if our Common Stock remains listed on the NYSE up to the Effective Time, our Common Stock would continue to
be listed on NYSE under the symbol "COOK."
New CUSIP Number
After the Effective Time, the post-Reverse Stock Split shares of our Common Stock would have a new CUSIP number. A
CUSIP number is a number used to identify the Company's equity securities.

Proposal 1
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to U.S. Holders
The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split that
may be relevant to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of our Common Stock, but does not purport to be a complete analysis
of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable
state, local, or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the provisions of the United States
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published
rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), and judicial decisions, in
each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such
change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a U.S. Holder. We
have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed
below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding
the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
This discussion is limited to U.S. Holders that hold our Common Stock as a "capital asset" within the meaning of Section
1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax
consequences relevant to a U.S. Holder's particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax
on net investment income and the alternative minimum tax. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to U.S.
Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:
•persons that are not U.S. Holders (as defined below) or certain former citizens or long-term residents of the
United States;
•U.S. Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
•persons holding our Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a
conversion transaction or other integrated investment;
•banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions;
•real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies;
•brokers, dealers, or traders in securities;
•S corporations or partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes (and investors therein);
•tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;
•persons deemed to sell our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;
•persons who hold or receive our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or
otherwise as compensation;
•tax-qualified retirement plans;
•persons subject to any alternative minimum tax; and
•"qualified foreign pension funds" as defined in Section 897(l)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of
which are held by qualified foreign pension funds.
If any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Common Stock, the
tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership, and
TRAEGER, INC.

Proposal 1
certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships holding our Common Stock and the partners in such
partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the Reverse Stock Split.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. HOLDERS OF OUR
COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT ARISING UNDER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS (INCLUDING
ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS), UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAXING
JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.
For purposes of the discussion below, a "U.S. Holder" is any beneficial owner of shares of our Common Stock that, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:
•an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
•a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of
Columbia;
•an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
•a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more "United States
persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (2) has a valid election in effect to be
treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Reverse Stock Split should constitute a "recapitalization" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S.
Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss upon the Reverse Stock Split, except as described below with respect
to cash received in lieu of fractional shares. A U.S. Holder's aggregate tax basis in the shares of the Common Stock
received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split should equal such holder's aggregate tax basis in the shares of the Common
Stock surrendered (excluding any portion of such basis that is allocated to any fractional share of our Common Stock),
and such holder's holding period in the shares of the Common Stock received should include the holding period of the
shares of Common Stock surrendered. Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code provide detailed rules for
allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of Common Stock surrendered pursuant to the Reverse Stock
Split to shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. U.S. Holders holding shares of Common
Stock that were acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the
allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.
A U.S. Holder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock should be treated as first receiving such
fractional share and then receiving cash in redemption of such fractional share. A U.S. Holder who receives cash in lieu of
a fractional share in connection with the Reverse Stock Split should recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to
the difference between the amount of the cash received in lieu of a fractional share and the portion of such holder's
adjusted tax basis in the shares of Common Stock surrendered that is allocated to the fractional share. Stockholders
should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax effects to them of receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares based on
their particular circumstances. Such capital gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's
holding period for the Common Stock surrendered exceeded one year at the time such stock is sold in connection with the
Reverse Stock Split. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations and subject to the rules applicable to U.S.
Holders holding shares of common stock on different dates (as mentioned above). Under certain circumstances, cash
received by a U.S. Holder in lieu of fractional shares could be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes
instead of capital gain. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine the extent to which their receipt of cash
in lieu of fractional shares could be treated as dividends.
TRAEGER, INC.

2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Proposal 1
U.S. Holders (other than corporations and certain other exempt recipients) may be subject to information reporting with
respect to any cash received in exchange for a fractional share of Common Stock in connection with the Reverse Stock
Split. U.S. Holders who are subject to information reporting and who do not provide a correct taxpayer identification
number and other required information (such as by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-9) may also be subject
to backup withholding at the applicable rate. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the
backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against the U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any,
provided that the required information is properly furnished in a timely manner to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult
their tax advisors regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining
such an exemption.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL 1
As described above, if our stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split Amendments, our Board has authorized our
officers to file a Certificate of Amendment in the form of Annex A with the Delaware Secretary of State. However, even if
our stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split Amendments, our Board retains discretion to determine whether and
when to file a Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, or to abandon the Reverse Stock Split
Amendments notwithstanding prior stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split Amendments.
If our stockholders do not approve the Reverse Stock Split Amendments, the Company will not be able to effect the
Reverse Stock Split and no Certificate of Amendment in the form of Annex A will be filed with the Delaware Secretary of
State.
Approval of this Proposal 1 to amend our Certificate of Incorporation is not contingent on any other proposal. Subject to
the Board's discretion to abandon the Reverse Stock Split Amendments, if Proposal 1 is approved by our stockholders,
our Certificate of Incorporation will then be amended to reflect the proposed amendments (including the applicable ratio
selected by the Board).
VOTE REQUIRED
This proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes
are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. We
do not expect any broker non-votes in connection with this proposal.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of amendments to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a Reverse Stock Split.

In this Proposal 2, we are asking stockholders to authorize us to adjourn the Special Meeting or any adjournment or
postponement thereof to a later date or dates in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal 1. If our

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND
MANAGEMENT
The following sets forth the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of January 9, 2026 by:
•each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Common
Stock;
•each of our current named executive officers and directors; and
•all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.
The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these
rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment
power. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 137,179,315 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 9,
2026. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person,
shares of our Common Stock subject to options, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently
exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of January 9, 2026 are considered outstanding, although these
shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with
respect to their shares of Common Stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law.
Unless otherwise indicated below, the address for each person or entity listed below is c/o Traeger, Inc., 533 South 400

THE SPECIAL MEETING

WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING?
The Record Date for the Special Meeting is January 9, 2026. You are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting only if you
were a holder of record of Common Stock at the close of business on that date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Special
Meeting. Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters presented at the Special Meeting.
At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 137,179,315 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled
to vote at the Special Meeting.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A "RECORD HOLDER"

a bank or broker on a person's behalf.
AM I ENTITLED TO VOTE IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN "STREET
NAME"?
Yes. If your shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of those shares held
in "street name." If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or
brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial
owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is
required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If your shares are held in "street name" and you would
like to vote your shares online at the Special Meeting, you should contact your bank or brokerage firm to obtain your 16-
digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or brokerage firm.

MEETING?

Proposal
Votes required
Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-
Votes
Proposal 1: Approval of Amendments
to our Certificate of Incorporation
The affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the votes cast (excluding
abstentions and broker non-votes).
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have
no effect. We do not expect any broker
non-votes on this proposal.
Proposal 2: Approval of the
Adjournment of the Special Meeting
The affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the votes cast (excluding
abstentions and broker non-votes).
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have

WHAT IS AN "ABSTENTION" AND HOW WILL ABSTENTIONS BE
TREATED?
An "abstention," in the case of the either Proposal 1 or Proposal 2, represents a stockholder's affirmative choice to decline
to vote on a proposal. Abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

2026 Special Meeting Proxy Statement
Questions and Answers About the Special Meeting of Stockholders
WHAT ARE BROKER NON-VOTES AND DO THEY COUNT FOR
DETERMINING A QUORUM?
Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in "street name" for a beneficial owner are not voted with
respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and
(2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on
routine matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from
the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non-routine
matters. Both Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are routine matters. Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining
whether a quorum is present.
WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE SPECIAL MEETING?
We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Special Meeting, and we will report the final results in a Current
Report on Form 8-K, which we intend to file with the SEC after the Special Meeting.
