Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) of Camping World Holdings, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) approved a plan to strategically shift its business away from locations where the Company does not have the ability or where it is not feasible to sell and/or service recreational vehicles (&#8220;RVs&#8221;) (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;). As of September 3, 2019, the Company operated 169 locations that sell and/or service RVs and 37 locations that do not sell and/or service RVs but sell an assortment of outdoor lifestyle products, excluding seven specialty retail locations operated by TheHouse.com (the &#8220;Outdoor Lifestyle Locations&#8221;). At certain Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, the Company is in the process of attempting to acquire and/or obtain the developmental consents, approvals and permits necessary for the sale and/or service of RVs. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the impact of the Plan and has had preliminary discussions regarding the sale, repurposing, relocation or closing of certain locations, with the current expectation of either selling, repurposing, relocating or closing approximately 27 to 37 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations. The actual number of stores the Company sells, repurposes, relocates, or closes may change. As part of the Plan, the Company is also evaluating the impact on the Company&#8217;s supporting infrastructure and operations. For instance, the Company is in the process of rationalizing inventory levels and composition, as well as warehousing and distribution resources. The Company will have a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that are sold or closed and the Company expects to incur material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the Plan, with the majority of those activities currently expected to be completed by December 31, 2019.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">The Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate of the costs associated with the Plan and related store closures at this time, partly due to the uncertainty of the specific stores to be sold or closed and the method of disposition. The Company will amend this Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of when it is able to estimate these costs.</p><a id="_57cf643f_bc95_4ec9_8d85_6be3a81905b9"></a><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">Item 2.06. Material Impairments.</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">The text of Item 2.05 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which describes the Company&#8217;s planned strategic shift and related store closures, is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.06. Following the approval of the Plan to sell, repurpose, relocate or close approximately 27 to 37 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations in connection with the Company&#8217;s strategic realignment, management and the Board concluded on September 3, 2019 that material impairment charges and/or accelerated depreciation charges are expected to be required against certain of the Company&#8217;s property and equipment and operating lease assets. This conclusion was reached based on the expectation that the future undiscounted cash flows for the locations that will be sold, repurposed, relocated, or closed under the Plan would likely not be sufficient to realize the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of those locations. Additionally, the Company expects that the carrying value of those locations and the included property and equipment would exceed their respective fair values resulting in an impairment loss. Additional analysis will be necessary to determine if the carrying value of the operating lease assets exceeds their fair value.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;text-indent:36pt;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">The Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate of the impairment charges related to the Plan and related store closures at this time, partly due to the uncertainty of the specific stores to be sold or closed and the method of disposition.

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Camping World Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") approved a plan to strategically shift its business away from locations where the Company does not have the ability or where it is not feasible to sell and/or service recreational vehicles ("RVs") (the "Plan"). As of September 3, 2019, the Company operated 169 locations that sell and/or service RVs and 37 locations that do not sell and/or service RVs but sell an assortment of outdoor lifestyle products, excluding seven specialty retail locations operated by TheHouse.com (the "Outdoor Lifestyle Locations"). At certain Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, the Company is in the process of attempting to acquire and/or obtain the developmental consents, approvals and permits necessary for the sale and/or service of RVs.
The Company is in the early stages of evaluating the impact of the Plan and has had preliminary discussions regarding the sale, repurposing, relocation or closing of certain locations, with the current expectation of either selling, repurposing, relocating or closing approximately 27 to 37 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations. The actual number of stores the Company sells, repurposes, relocates, or closes may change. As part of the Plan, the Company is also evaluating the impact on the Company's supporting infrastructure and operations. For instance, the Company is in the process of rationalizing inventory levels and composition, as well as warehousing and distribution resources. The Company will have a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that are sold or closed and the Company expects to incur material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the Plan, with the majority of those activities currently expected to be completed by December 31, 2019.
The Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate of the costs associated with the Plan and related store closures at this time, partly due to the uncertainty of the specific stores to be sold or closed and the method of disposition. The Company will amend this Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of when it is able to estimate these costs.
Item 2.06. Material Impairments.
The text of Item 2.05 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, which describes the Company's planned strategic shift and related store closures, is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.06. Following the approval of the Plan to sell, repurpose, relocate or close approximately 27 to 37 Outdoor Lifestyle Locations in connection with the Company's strategic realignment, management and the Board concluded on September 3, 2019 that material impairment charges and/or accelerated depreciation charges are expected to be required against certain of the Company's property and equipment and operating lease assets. This conclusion was reached based on the expectation that the future undiscounted cash flows for the locations that will be sold, repurposed, relocated, or closed under the Plan would likely not be sufficient to realize the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of those locations. Additionally, the Company expects that the carrying value of those locations and the included property and equipment would exceed their respective fair values resulting in an impairment loss. Additional analysis will be necessary to determine if the carrying value of the operating lease assets exceeds their fair value.
The Company is unable in good faith to make a determination of an estimate of the impairment charges related to the Plan and related store closures at this time, partly due to the uncertainty of the specific stores to be sold or closed and the method of disposition. The Company will amend this Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of when it is able to estimate these impairment charges.
