Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of

<P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=2>Under the terms of the
Employment Offer Letter dated July 23, 2007 which was issued to Mr. Robert
Keller incident to becoming President and CEO of Escalade, Incorporated on
August 1, 2007, the Company agreed to provide reimbursement of specific costs
associated with Mr. Keller&#146;s relocation to Evansville, Indiana. As a result of
adverse real estate market conditions beyond his control, Mr. Keller was unable
to sell his existing residence in Atlanta, Georgia for the price originally
envisioned at the time the Employment Offer Letter was issued. Based on the
recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the independent members of the
Board of Directors approved the payment of an additional $70,000 in relocation
benefits to compensate Mr. Keller for a portion of the lost home equity based
on the actual sales price of his Atlanta residence.</FONT></P>
