Marine Products manufactures fiberglass motorized boats distributed and marketed through its independent dealer network. Marine Products’ product offerings include Chaparral sterndrive and outboard sport boats and Robalo outboard sport fishing boats. Organization & Overview Marine Products is a Delaware corporation incorporated on August 31, 2000, in connection with a spin-off from RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) (“RPC”). Effective February 28, 2001, RPC accomplished the spin-off by contributing 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Chaparral to Marine Products, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of RPC, and then distributing the common stock of Marine Products to RPC stockholders. Marine Products designs, manufactures and sells recreational fiberglass powerboats in the pleasure boat and sport fishing boat markets. The Company sells its products to a network of 192 domestic and 84 international independent authorized dealers. Marine Products’ mission is to enhance its customers’ boating experience by providing them with high quality, innovative powerboats. The Company’s two brands are Chaparral (sport boats) and Robalo (fishing boats): Chaparral was founded in 1965 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. In 1976, Chaparral moved its operations to a Nashville, Georgia manufacturing site, which had been the previous location of another boat producer. This move provided the business an opportunity to expand manufacturing space and access to a trained workforce, and set the stage for decades of innovation, growth and industry leadership. In 1986, RPC acquired Chaparral. Robalo was founded in 1969 and was acquired by Marine Products in 2001, in conjunction with the spin-off from RPC as referenced above. At the time of the acquisition, Robalo was a struggling brand, which Marine Products has since grown to a leading fishing boat manufacturer.
