4 HISTORY HISTORY Today s Safariland had modest roots. It all began in 1969, when American Body Armor pioneered advanced technologies in body armor. Adopting the name Armor Holdings in 1996, we achieved strength through growth and acquisition of leading brands (see pages 8-9) that positioned us as a world leader in security products. These strengths were recognized by BAE Systems, which acquired Armor Holdings in 2007, giving us new reach and new resources in technology. Producing advanced military systems in the air, on land and at sea, we became BAE Systems Products Group. Retaining the strength and resources of BAE Systems, we have access to the shared technologies of the third-largest global defense company. Its strength is our strength. And now fully integrated in its products and services, we introduce the new Safariland a new benchmark in excellence. TIMELINE BAE SYSTEMS PRODUCTS GROUP 1969 A leader in body armor is born.

THE NEW SAFARILAND As Armor Holdings and then BAE Systems Products Group, we were a collection of independently branded businesses operating as separate companies.

United, we have become a single source provider with the ability to offer more innovative products and solutions with better service.

6 THE NEW SAFARILAND As Armor Holdings and then BAE Systems Products Group, we were a collection of independently branded businesses operating as separate companies. In June 2008, we reorganized the Products Group by integrating these businesses under a one-company structure. United, we have become a single source provider with the ability to offer more innovative products and solutions with better service. As a result, we have not just changed our name; we have changed our culture through a complete business model transformation. Today s Safariland will focus on our customers like no other company in the industry. You will see it in our service. You will see it in our operations. And you will see it most evidently in how we go to market. We now group our products as categories and market them within mission-specific customer segments. This will make it easier for our distribution partners and those who use our products to find what they re looking for. Because of the new way we group our products, we now sell them differently as well. Now, instead of having a representative for body armor and a different representative for equipment, our customers will have a relationship with one representative versed in all of our products who can provide a complete consultative solution. And to tie this all together, we changed the way we promote our products. Now you ll see our products marketed within each customer segment, making it easier to understand how we fill the needs of the brave men and women who use those products. We will promote ourselves as one company brand, Safariland, which better explains the breadth of our offerings, our leadership position in the market and our rich heritage safariland.com Changing our company and our culture to Safariland unifies everything we do. We have brought together our products, our employees and our cultures as one because together we are greater than our individual parts
