        <footnote id="F1">On February 5, 2014, in connection with the recapitalization of the Issuer and immediately prior to completion of the Issuer's initial public offering of Class A Common Stock (the &quot;IPO&quot;), Horizon Holdings, LLC and Malibu Holdings, L.P. were issued Units in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the &quot;LLC Units&quot;) allocated pursuant to the distribution provisions of the former limited liability company agreement of Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC as part of a reorganization of Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the &quot;LLC&quot;) effected in connection with the IPO and pursuant to an exemption from Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Assuming the LLC was reorganized at the time of the IPO, the LLC Units were issued with a value implied by the IPO price of $14.00 per share of Class A Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">(Continued from footnote 1) Each holder of LLC Units was issued for nominal consideration, one share of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock, each of which provides its owner with no economic rights but entitles the holder to one vote on matters presented to stockholders of the Issuer for each LLC Unit held by such holder. The Issuer used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO on February 5, 2014 to purchase LLC Units from Horizon Holdings, LLC and Malibu Holdings, L.P. on the same day immediately after completion of the IPO.  Upon such sale of the LLC Units to the Issuer, the voting power afforded to the reporting person by his share of Class B Common Stock was automatically and correspondingly reduced under the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The amount shown represents the beneficial ownership of Class B Common Stock and LLC Units, as applicable, owned directly by Horizon Holdings, LLC.  Mr. Estes and Mr. James Shorin share the voting power and dispositive power with respect to the securities beneficially owned by Horizon Holdings, LLC and may be deemed the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by Horizon Holdings, LLC.  Mr. Estes disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any, in those securities.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The amount shown represents the beneficial ownership of Class B Common Stock and LLC Units, as applicable, owned directly by Malibu Holdings, L.P.  Horizon Holdings, LLC is the general partner of Malibu Holdings, L.P. and may be deemed the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by Malibu Holdings, L.P.  Mr. Estes and Mr. James Shorin share the voting power and dispositive power with respect to the securities beneficially owned by Horizon Holdings, LLC and may be deemed the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned by Horizon Holdings, LLC.  Mr. Estes disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, if any, in those securities.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">Pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement, the holder of the LLC Units has a right to exchange the LLC Units for shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications, or at the Issuer's option, other than in the event of a change in control, for a cash payment equal to the market value of the Class A Common Stock.  The LLC Units have no expiration date.</footnote>
