At a meeting on April 8, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Gander Mountain Company (the “Company”) implemented a cash incentive compensation program for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009 (“fiscal 2008”) pursuant to which the Company’s executive officers are eligible to receive cash incentive payments.  Pursuant to this program, the Company’s executive officers will receive cash incentive payments based upon the achievement by the Company’s retail store operations of certain pre-tax, pre-incentive payment income targets for fiscal 2008 that were established by the Committee.  In accordance with their existing employment agreements, the maximum awards payable to the Company’s executive officers under this program, as a percentage of their base salaries for fiscal 2008, are equal to 200% for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and 100% for the Company’s other executive officers.
