Dear Shareholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Skyline Corporation (“Skyline” or the “Company”), which will be held on Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time at the Fairfield Inn and Suites, located at 3501 Plaza Court, Elkhart, Indiana 46514. This proxy statement contains your official notice of the Special Meeting and includes information about the matters to be acted upon at the meeting. Officers and directors of Skyline will be on hand at the Special Meeting to answer questions and discuss matters that may properly arise.

On January 5, 2018, Skyline entered into a Share Contribution & Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion Holdings”), pursuant to which Champion Holdings agreed to, among other things, contribute, transfer, and convey to Skyline all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Champion Holdings’ wholly-owned operating subsidiaries through the contribution of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each of Champion Home Builders, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CHB”), and CHB International B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (“CIBV”) (the shares of stock of CHB and CIBV to be contributed to Skyline, the “Contributed Shares”), in exchange for a number of newly issued shares of Skyline common stock, $0.0277 par value per share (the “Exchange Shares”), calculated to be equal to (i) an exchange ratio of 5.4516129, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Skyline common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (as determined in the Exchange Agreement) as determined immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement (the “Shares Issuance”). The contribution of the Contributed Shares by Champion Holdings to Skyline, and the Shares Issuance by Skyline to Champion Holdings (or its members), are collectively referred to herein as the “Exchange.” Upon the closing of the Exchange, Champion Holdings (or its members) will hold 84.5%, and Skyline’s current shareholders will hold 15.5%, of the outstanding common stock of the combined company on a fully-diluted basis. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Exchange, and subject to the approval by Skyline’s shareholders of the matters submitted for approval at the Special Meeting, the persons serving on the Board of Directors and as the executive officers of Skyline will be changed to be those persons as designated by Champion Holdings and Skyline, as described further in this proxy statement.

In connection with the Exchange, our Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of our articles of incorporation to provide for, among other things, (i) the change in the name of the Company to “Skyline Champion Corporation;” (ii) an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 15,000,000 to 115,000,000 shares; and (iii) a provision stating that the number of members of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be as specified in the Company’s bylaws (collectively, the “Company Charter Amendment”). In connection with the approval of the Company Charter Amendment, the Company’s shareholders are being asked to approve three proposals contained in this proxy statement (collectively, the “Charter Amendment Proposals”).

A special committee of our Board of Directors (the “Special Committee”), consisting solely of directors who have been determined by our Board of Directors to be independent under the rules of the NYSE American, after thorough review and consideration, unanimously determined that the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Exchange, are advisable to, fair, and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, approved the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Exchange, and recommended that our Board of Directors approve the Exchange Agreement and our shareholders approve the Shares Issuance and the Charter Amendment Proposals. Our Board of Directors, based in part on the unanimous approval and recommendation of the Special Committee, and after thorough review and consideration, unanimously determined that the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Exchange, are advisable to, fair, and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, approved the Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Exchange, and recommended that our shareholders approve the Shares Issuance and the Charter Amendment Proposals.

The Special Committee and our Board of Directors made their determinations after consultation with their financial advisor and their respective legal advisors, and after consideration of a number of factors. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SKYLINE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE SHARES ISSUANCE, “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS, “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE EXCHANGE-RELATED COMPENSATION PROPOSAL, AND “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The Exchange cannot be completed unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Skyline common stock entitled to vote on such proposal on the record date vote to adopt each of the Charter Amendment Proposals, and the votes cast by Skyline’s shareholders in favor of the proposal to approve the Shares Issuance exceed the votes cast opposing such proposal. None of the Charter Amendment Proposals will be adopted unless each of them is approved. The accompanying proxy statement provides you with detailed information about the Exchange, the Exchange Agreement, the Shares Issuance, the Company Charter Amendment, the two related proposals, and the Special Meeting. A copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached as Appendix A to the accompanying proxy statement. We encourage you to read the entire proxy statement and its appendices, including the Exchange Agreement, carefully. You may also obtain additional information about Skyline from documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Skyline’s common stock is traded on the NYSE American under the trading symbol “SKY.” Skyline anticipates that the common stock of the combined company will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange following the completion of the Exchange under the trading symbol “SKY.” On January 4, 2018, the last day prior to the public announcement of the Exchange Agreement, the closing price of a share of Skyline common stock was $12.83. On April 24, 2018, the latest practicable date before the date of this document, the closing price of a share of Skyline common stock was $24.41.

We urge you to read the proxy statement carefully, including the appendices to the proxy statement. If you do not plan to attend the Special Meeting, to ensure your shares are represented at the meeting, please vote as soon as possible either by completing and submitting the enclosed proxy card or by using the telephone or Internet voting procedures described in your proxy card. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee, please follow the instructions on the voting instruction card furnished by such bank, broker, or other nominee in order to vote your shares. Please note that if your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker, or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from that record holder prior to the Special Meeting and bring the proxy to the Special Meeting. Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares of Skyline common stock you own. The failure to vote your shares will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the approval of the Company Charter Amendment Proposals.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved the Exchange or the Exchange Agreement, passed upon the merits or fairness of the Exchange Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the information contained in the proxy statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This proxy statement is dated April 25, 2018, and is first being mailed to Skyline’s shareholders on or about April 27, 2018.

Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders

To Be Held on May 29, 2018

To the Shareholders of Skyline Corporation:

We cordially invite you to attend the Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Skyline Corporation (“Skyline” or the “Company”) to be held on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at the Fairfield Inn and Suites, located at 3501 Plaza Court, Elkhart, Indiana 46514. Skyline and Champion Enterprises Holdings, LLC (“Champion Holdings”) have entered into a Share Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated January 5, 2018 that sets forth the terms and conditions of the proposed business combination of Skyline and the operating subsidiaries of Champion Holdings. Under the Exchange Agreement, Champion Holdings will contribute all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Contributed Shares”) of Champion Home Builders, Inc. and CHB International B.V., its direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Champion Companies”), in exchange for the issuance to Champion Holdings (or its members) of Skyline Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) (the “Exchange”). At the Special Meeting, you will be asked to vote on the following matters:

The enclosed proxy statement describes the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange, and the proposals set forth above in detail, and includes the complete text of the Exchange Agreement as Appendix A, and a copy of the form of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the proposed Skyline Champion Corporation as Appendix B. We urge you to read these materials for a description of the Exchange Agreement, the Exchange, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and the Shares Issuance. In particular, you should carefully read the section captioned “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25 of the enclosed proxy statement for a discussion of certain risk factors relating to the Exchange Agreement and the Exchange. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation will not be filed with the Indiana Secretary of State or become effective unless all of the Charter Amendment Proposals are approved at the Special Meeting.

Skyline’s board of directors has fixed April 23, 2018 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. Only holders of record of shares of Skyline’s Common Stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were 8,391,244 shares of Skyline Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. The proxy statement accompanying this notice is deemed to be incorporated into and forms part of this notice. The accompanying proxy statement dated April 25, 2018 and proxy card for the Special Meeting are first being mailed to Skyline’s shareholders on or about April 27, 2018.

Upon the recommendation of the Special Committee of Skyline’s board of directors, Skyline’s board of directors has unanimously approved the adoption of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Shares Issuance. The board of directors of Skyline recommends that Skyline’s shareholders vote (1) “FOR” the approval of each of Charter Amendment Proposals 1A, 1B, and 1C, (2) “FOR” the approval of the Shares Issuance Proposal, (3) “FOR” the approval of the Exchange-Related Compensation Proposal, and (4) “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. Each of the Charter Amendment Proposals must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Skyline Common Stock, and in order for the Shares Issuance Proposal to be approved the votes cast by Skyline’s shareholders in favor of the proposal must exceed the votes cast opposing such proposal. IF YOU DO NOT RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD, VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR BY INTERNET, OR DO NOT VOTE IN PERSON AT THE SPECIAL MEETING, THE EFFECT WILL BE THE SAME AS A VOTE AGAINST EACH OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting in person, we urge you to date, sign, and return promptly the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying envelope or vote by telephone or by Internet. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the Special Meeting by following the directions on the proxy card or by attending the Special Meeting and voting in person. If you hold your shares in “street name” with a bank, broker, or other nominee, and you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you will need to obtain a proxy issued in your name from your bank, broker, or other nominee and bring the proxy to the Special Meeting.

Only shareholders and persons holding proxies from shareholders may attend the Special Meeting. If your shares are registered in your name, you should bring a form of photo identification to the Special Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should bring a proxy or letter from that broker, bank, or other nominee that confirms you are the beneficial owner of those shares, together with a form of photo identification. Cameras, recording devices, and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the Special Meeting. All Skyline shareholders are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXCHANGE AND THE SKYLINE SPECIAL MEETING

Following are questions and related answers that address some of the questions you may have regarding the Exchange, the Special Meeting, and related matters. These questions and answers may not contain all of the information relevant to you, do not purport to summarize all material information relating to the Exchange, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Skyline (the subject of the Charter Amendment Proposals), and related matters, or any of the other matters discussed in this proxy statement, and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the more detailed information contained in or attached to this proxy statement. Therefore, you should carefully read this entire proxy statement, including the attached appendices and materials to which we refer you in order to fully understand Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Skyline, the Exchange Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby.

1

For example, if you are a Skyline shareholder and hold 5% of the outstanding shares of Skyline Common Stock calculated on a fully diluted basis (as determined in the Exchange Agreement) immediately prior to the completion of the Exchange, and assuming you do not also hold units of Champion Holdings, then upon completion of the Exchange you will hold an aggregate of approximately 0.775% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis (as determined in the Exchange Agreement).

The combined company will remain focused on manufactured housing but will be substantially larger than Skyline alone. For a more complete discussion of the existing business of Skyline, please refer to the periodic reports and other documents Skyline files with the SEC and which are incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 174. For a more complete discussion of the existing business of Champion Holdings, see the sections entitled “Information About Champion Holdings’ Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Champion Holdings,” beginning on pages 116 and 123, respectively. In addition, you should carefully review the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25, which present risks and uncertainties related to the businesses and operations of Skyline and Champion Holdings, and risks and uncertainties related to the Exchange.

2

In connection with the execution of the Exchange Agreement, the holders of approximately 18.8% of the total outstanding voting power of Skyline, as of January 5, 2018, entered into a Voting Agreement with Champion Holdings, which provide that, among other things, such shareholders will vote in favor of the above proposals and grant Champion Holdings an irrevocable proxy to vote all of their shares of Skyline Common Stock in favor of such proposals.

3

In order for each of the Shares Issuance Proposal, the advisory vote on the Exchange-Related Compensation Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal to be approved at the Special Meeting, the votes cast by Skyline’s shareholders in favor of each such proposal must exceed the votes cast opposing such proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no impact on the outcome of the votes on these proposals.

4

For a more complete discussion regarding the conditions to the completion of the Exchange under the Exchange Agreement, see “The Exchange Agreement – Conditions to the Completion of the Exchange” beginning on page 110.

Your tax consequences will depend on your personal situation. You should consult your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the Pre-Closing Skyline Special Dividend to you.

5

If you hold your stock through a bank or broker (commonly referred to as held in “street name”), you may direct your bank or broker to vote in accordance with the instructions you have received from your bank or broker. Voting by proxy or directing your bank or broker to vote your shares will ensure that your shares of Common Stock are represented and voted at the Special Meeting.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement (see “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 174), including the risk factors included in Skyline’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2017 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, you should consider carefully the risk factors described below in deciding how to vote. You should keep these risk factors in mind when you read forward-looking statements in this document and in the documents incorporated by reference into this document. Please refer to the section of this proxy statement titled “Cautionary Statements Concerning Forward-Looking Information” on page 42.

Risks Relating to the Exchange

The number of shares of Skyline Common Stock issuable in connection with the Exchange is not adjustable based on the market price of Skyline Common Stock, so the Exchange consideration at the closing may have a greater or lesser value than at the time the Exchange Agreement was signed.

The Exchange Agreement establishes an exchange ratio to fix the number of shares of Skyline Common Stock that will be issued in exchange for the Contributed Shares in the Exchange. Any changes in the market price of Skyline Common Stock before the completion of the Exchange will not affect the number of shares Champion Holdings (or its members) will be entitled to receive pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Therefore, if before the completion of the Exchange the market price of Skyline Common Stock declines from the market price on the date of the Exchange Agreement, then Champion Holdings could receive Exchange consideration with substantially lower value than the value that would have been represented by the Exchange Shares had they been issued on the date of the Exchange Agreement. Similarly, if before the completion of the Exchange the market price of Skyline Common Stock increases from the market price on the date of the Exchange Agreement, then Champion Holdings could receive Exchange consideration with substantially more value than the value that would have been represented by the Exchange Shares had they been issued on the date of signing the Exchange Agreement. The Exchange Agreement does not include a price-based termination right. Because the exchange ratio does not adjust as a result of changes in the market value of Skyline Common Stock, for each percentage point that the market value of Skyline Common Stock rises or declines from the date of the Exchange Agreement, there is a corresponding one percentage point rise or decline in the value of the shares issued to Champion Holdings (or its members). The number of shares of Skyline Common Stock held by current Skyline shareholders, as well as their fixed percent of the total shares outstanding after the Exchange, will not vary as a result of the Exchange.

Failure to complete the Exchange may result in Skyline paying a termination fee or reimbursing fees and expenses incurred by Champion Holdings and could harm the Common Stock price of Skyline and future business and operations of Skyline.

If the Exchange is not completed, Skyline is subject to the following risks:

25

If the conditions to the Exchange are not met, the Exchange will not occur.

Even if matters presented to the Skyline shareholders in this proxy statement are approved by the Skyline shareholders, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Exchange. These conditions are set forth in the Exchange Agreement and described in the section entitled “The Exchange Agreement – Conditions to the Completion of the Exchange” beginning on page 110 of this proxy statement. Neither Skyline nor Champion Holdings can assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Exchange will not occur or will be delayed, the market price of Skyline Common Stock may decline, and Skyline and Champion Holdings each may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Exchange.

The Exchange may be completed even though material adverse changes may result from the announcement of the Exchange, industry-wide changes or other causes.

In general, either Skyline or Champion Holdings can refuse to complete the Exchange if there is a material adverse change affecting the other party between January 5, 2018, the date of the Exchange Agreement, and the closing of the Exchange. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Exchange, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Skyline or Champion Holdings, including:

26

If adverse changes occur and Skyline and Champion Holdings still complete the Exchange, the combined company’s stock price may suffer. This in turn may reduce the value of the Exchange to the shareholders of Skyline, Champion Holdings, or both.

There can be no assurance that Skyline has identified every matter that could have a material adverse effect on Champion Holdings.

Although Skyline has conducted business, financial, and legal due diligence on Champion Holdings in connection with the Exchange, there can be no assurance that due diligence has identified every matter that could have a material adverse effect on Champion Holdings. Accordingly, there may be matters involving Champion Holdings and its operations that were not identified during Skyline’s due diligence. Any of these issues could materially and adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the combined company after giving effect to the Exchange.

Certain of Skyline’s officers and directors have interests that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Skyline’s shareholders generally.

Certain of Skyline’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Exchange that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Skyline’s shareholders generally that may present actual or apparent conflicts of interest. Skyline’s directors were aware of these interests and took them into account in approving the Exchange Agreement. For example, as a result of the Exchange, Richard W. Florea, the Chief Executive Officer of Skyline, will be entitled to receive certain severance benefits, including a cash severance payment currently estimated to be $556,200, and the accelerated vesting (immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange) of 181,400 outstanding and unvested stock options and 42,000 shares of unvested restricted stock. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Exchange, 19,800 outstanding and unvested stock options and 3,000 shares of unvested restricted stock held by Jeffrey A. Newport, the Chief Operating Officer of Skyline, will vest immediately prior to the closing of the Exchange.

The Exchange Agreement also provides that, at or prior to the closing of the Exchange, Skyline will take all actions under its 1989 Deferred Compensation Plan such that, upon the closing of the Exchange, all benefits payable under the plan to Jon S. Pilarski, the Vice President, Finance & Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer of Skyline will become fully vested. Under the terms of the plan, Mr. Pilarski is entitled to an annual retirement payment amount of $60,000, and an annual death benefit amount of $40,000, which will become fully vested upon the closing of the Exchange. Terrence M. Decio, Skyline’s Vice President, Marketing and Sales, and Martin R. Fransted, Skyline’s Corporate Controller and Secretary, are also entitled to vested annual death benefit payments and deferred compensation payments of $75,000 each, and Mr. Fransted is entitled to an annual death benefit payment of $30,000 and an annual deferred compensation payment of $40,000 pursuant to the terms of the plan. Skyline’s Board has approved an amendment to the 1989 Deferred Compensation Plan to prevent a termination of the plan prior to the date upon which the final payment under the plan is scheduled to occur, and preventing the amendment provision itself from being further amended without the prior consent of all the plan’s participants.

27

Also under the Exchange Agreement, if either of Mr. Newport or Mr. Pilarski is still employed by Skyline as of the closing of the Exchange, and if the employment of either of them is terminated by the combined company, other than for cause, within 12 months after the closing of the Exchange, then the individual whose employment is terminated will be entitled to receive severance payments. Mr. Newport would be entitled to receive severance pay equal to 26 weeks of pay, at his base rate of pay in effect at the time of his termination of employment (which is currently estimated to result in a payment of $125,000), and Mr. Pilarski would be entitled to receive severance pay equal to 52 weeks of pay, at his base rate of pay in effect at the time of his termination of employment (which is currently estimated to result in a payment of $229,500).

The Exchange Agreement also provides that salaried employees of Skyline or any of its subsidiaries as of the closing who are still employed by Skyline or a subsidiary as of the closing of the Exchange and whose employment with Skyline or the combined company is terminated by the combined company, other than for cause, within 12 months after closing, and who sign and deliver a termination and release agreement, would be entitled to severance pay equal to one week of pay, at their base rate of pay in effect at the time of termination, for each full year of continuous service with Skyline and the surviving company, with a minimum of four weeks and a maximum of 26 weeks. Under these provisions, Mr. Decio, Mr. Fransted, and Robert C. Davis, Skyline’s Vice President, Manufacturing, would receive cash severance payments currently estimated to be $122,400, $77,520, and $52,177, respectively.

In addition, John C. Firth, the current Chairman of the Skyline Board, and Richard W. Florea, the current Chief Executive Officer of Skyline and a current member of the Skyline Board, will be appointed to the combined company’s board of directors shortly after the closing, and Arthur J. Decio, the founder of Skyline and a current member of the Skyline Board, will serve as a non-voting board observer on the combined company’s post-closing board. Finally, the present and former officers and directors of Skyline will have the benefit of the continuation of indemnification and liability insurance protection for six years following the closing. See “Interests of the Skyline Directors and Executive Officers in the Exchange” beginning on page 78.

The market price of the combined company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Exchange.

The market price of the combined company’s common stock may decline as a result of the Exchange for a number of reasons including if:

The issuance of Skyline’s Common Stock to Champion Holdings under the Exchange Agreement will substantially dilute the percentage ownership interests of Skyline’s current shareholders and will give Champion Holdings (or its members) the ability to assume control of a majority of the outstanding shares of Skyline’s Common Stock.

If the Exchange is completed, Skyline will issue to Champion Holdings 47,828,330 shares of Skyline’s Common Stock (based on an estimated closing date of May 1, 2018 and based on the exchange ratio of 5.4516129 as set forth in the Exchange Agreement, multiplied by 8,773,244, which is the aggregate number of shares of Skyline Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis (as determined in the Exchange Agreement), estimated to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing), and Champion Holdings (or its members) will own 84.5% of the combined company’s outstanding Common Stock. The issuance of Skyline’s Common Stock

28

to Champion Holdings will cause a significant reduction in the relative percentage interests of Skyline’s current shareholders in Skyline’s earnings and voting power. Because of this, Skyline’s shareholders will have less influence on the management and policies of the combined company than they now have on the management and policies of Skyline. Furthermore, under Skyline’s current Restated Articles of Incorporation, Skyline’s shareholders do not have preemptive or similar rights, and it is not expected that shareholders of the combined company will have such rights after the closing. Therefore, the combined company will continue to have the ability to sell additional voting securities in the future without offering them to the combined company’s shareholders, which would further reduce their ownership percentage in, and voting power over, the combined company.

Skyline shareholders may not realize a benefit from the Exchange commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience in connection with the Exchange.

If the combined company is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Exchange, Skyline shareholders will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests in Skyline without receiving a fully commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent the combined company is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Exchange.

Certain provisions of the Exchange Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

The terms of the Exchange Agreement prohibit Skyline from soliciting alternative takeover proposals or cooperating with persons making unsolicited takeover proposals, except in limited circumstances when the Board determines in good faith that an unsolicited alternative takeover proposal is or is reasonably expected to result in a superior proposal and that failure to cooperate with the proponent of the proposal could reasonably be considered a breach of the board’s fiduciary duties. In addition, if Skyline or Champion Holdings terminate the Exchange Agreement under certain circumstances, including Champion Holdings terminating the Exchange Agreement because of a change in the Board’s recommendation in favor of the Exchange, Skyline would be required to pay a termination fee of up to $10 million, plus certain transaction fees and expenses in certain cases, to Champion Holdings. This termination fee may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals to Skyline or its shareholders and may cause the Board to be less inclined to recommend an alternative proposal.

Because the lack of a public market for the Contributed Shares makes it difficult to evaluate the fairness of the Exchange, the members of Champion Holdings may receive consideration in the Exchange that is more or less than the fair market value of the Contributed Shares.

The outstanding Contributed Shares are privately held and are not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market makes it difficult to determine the fair market value of the Contributed Shares. Because the percentage of Skyline Common Stock to be issued to Champion Holdings (or its members) was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of the Skyline Common Stock to be received by Champion Holdings will be more or less than the actual fair market value of the Contributed Shares.

The combined company may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm the combined company’s business, and insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all costs and damages.

In the past, securities class action or shareholder derivative litigation often follows certain significant business transactions, such as the sale of a business division or announcement of a merger of publicly traded companies. The combined company may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation often

29

is expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the combined company’s business.

The pro forma financial statements presented are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of the combined company following the Exchange.

The pro forma financial statements contained in this proxy statement are presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of the combined company following the Exchange. The pro forma financial statements have been derived from the historical financial statements of Skyline and Champion Holdings, and also includes certain information regarding the Champion Companies, and many adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding the Champion Companies and Skyline after giving effect to the Exchange. The information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments and assumptions are difficult to make with complete accuracy. Moreover, the pro forma financial statements do not reflect all costs that are expected to be incurred by Skyline or Champion Holdings in connection with the Exchange. As a result, the actual financial condition and results of operations of the combined company following the Exchange may not be consistent with, or evident from, these pro forma financial statements.

The assumptions used in preparing the pro forma financial statements may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect our financial condition or results of operations following the Exchange. Any potential decline in Skyline’s or Champion Holdings’ financial condition or results of operations could adversely affect Skyline’s or Champion Holdings’ liquidity.

The date on which the Exchange will close is uncertain.

The date on which the Exchange will close depends on the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, or the waiver of those conditions by the parties thereto. Although Skyline and Champion Holdings expect to close the Exchange within five business days after all closing conditions are satisfied or waived, such closing may not take place as anticipated. Subject to specific exceptions, either Skyline or Champion Holdings may terminate the Exchange Agreement if the Exchange has not been completed on or before July 31, 2018.

Following the completion of the Exchange, the combined company will continue to incur costs as a result of operating as a public company, and the management of the combined company may be required to devote substantial time to compliance initiatives.

As a public company, Skyline currently incurs legal, accounting, and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, impose various requirements on public companies, including requiring the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Skyline’s management devotes both time and financial resources to these compliance initiatives. As a private company, Champion Holdings has not been subject to these regulatory requirements.

After the Exchange, the combined company will remain subject to all of Skyline’s current public obligations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If, after the Exchange, the combined company fails to staff its accounting and finance functions adequately, or fails to maintain internal controls adequate to meet the demands that are placed upon it as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, it may be unable to report its financial results accurately or in a timely manner and its business and stock price may suffer. The costs of being a public company, as well as diversion of management’s time and attention, may have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s future business, financial condition, and results of operations.

30

Following the completion of the Exchange, the combined company is expected to be a “controlled company” under the applicable listing standards then in effect for the combined company and, as a result, will qualify for, and intends to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements; so you will not have the same protections currently afforded to shareholders of Skyline.

Because Champion Holdings will control a majority of the voting power of the combined company’s outstanding common stock, the combined company will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of both the NYSE American Company Guide and the NYSE Listed Company Manual, as they may be applicable to the combined company. In addition, if, whether under the terms of the Exchange Agreement or otherwise, the Exchange Shares are issued to the members of Champion Holdings, then Champion Holdings expects and intends that certain of its members will be considered a “group” for purposes of the applicable corporate governance requirements of the exchange on which the combined company’s shares are listed, and intends that the combined company would likewise be considered a “controlled company” under such rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group, or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

The combined company plans to rely on all of these exemptions. Accordingly, for so long as the combined company is a “controlled company,” you will not have the same protections afforded to you as shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NYSE American or NYSE requirements, including Skyline. The combined company’s status as a controlled company could make its common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price.

The integration of Skyline and Champion Holdings may not be successful or the anticipated benefits from the Exchange may not be realized in their entirety.

After the consummation of the Exchange, the combined company’s management will need to integrate the operations, as well as financial and other systems of Skyline and the Champion Companies. The combined company’s management will be required to devote a great deal of time and attention to the process of integrating the operations while carrying on the ongoing operations. A significant degree of difficulty and management involvement is inherent in the integration process. The integration process includes but is not limited to:

31

There is no assurance that the combined company will be successful or cost effective at the integration of the two companies. The integration may cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in the activities of the business after the consummation of the Exchange. If the combined company’s management is not able to manage the integration process effectively, or any significant business activities are interrupted as a result of the integration process, the combined company’s business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted. Even if the combined company is able to combine the two business operations successfully, it may not be possible to realize the full benefits of the expected synergies, which are expected to result from the Exchange, or realize these benefits within the time frame that is expected. For example, the benefits from the Exchange may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating the companies. If the combined company fails to realize the benefits it anticipates from the Exchange, the business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Skyline

Skyline has incurred net losses in prior years.

Due to negative economic conditions that impacted the manufactured housing, modular housing, and recreational vehicle industries, Skyline incurred net losses from fiscal years 2008 to 2015. Losses in future years attributable to the Skyline business could negatively affect the combined company’s liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

Changing consumer preferences for Skyline’s products could adversely affect sales and operating results.

Consumer preferences for manufactured housing, modular housing, and park models change over time, and consequently Skyline responds to changing demand by evaluating the market acceptability of its products. Delays in responding to changing consumer preferences could have an adverse effect on net sales, operating results, and cash flows.

Skyline’s business depends on independent dealers.

Skyline sells its manufactured homes, modular homes, and park models to independent dealers. These dealers are not obligated to exclusively sell Skyline’s products, and may choose to sell competitor’s products. In addition, a dealer may become financially insolvent and be forced to close its business. Both scenarios could have an adverse effect on net sales, operating results, and cash flows of Skyline and the combined company.

The cost and availability of raw materials can flucuate significantly.

Prices and availability of raw materials used to manufacture Skyline’s products can change significantly due to fluctuations in supply and demand. In addition, the cost of raw materials is also influenced by transportation costs. Skyline has historically been able to have an adequate supply of raw materials by maintaining good relations with its vendors. Increased prices have historically been passed on to dealers by raising the price of manufactured housing, modular housing, and park models. There is no certainty that Skyline will be able to pass on future price increases and maintain an adequate supply of raw materials. The inability to raise the price of its products and to maintain a proper supply of materials could have a negative impact on net sales, operating results, and cash flows of Skyline and the combined company.

The level of dealer inventories may affect pricing and production levels.

As wholesale shipments of manufactured homes, modular homes, and park models exceed retail sales, dealer inventories reach a level where dealers decrease orders from manufacturers. As manufacturers respond to reduced demand, many either offer discounts to maintain production volumes or curtail production levels. Both outcomes could have a negative impact on net sales, operating results, and cash flows of Skyline and the combined company.

32

The industry in which Skyline operates is highly competitive.

The production of manufactured housing, modular housing, and park models is highly competitive with particular emphasis on price and features offered. Some of Skyline’s competitors are vertically integrated by owning retail, consumer finance, and insurance operations. This integration may provide competitors with an advantage with dealers. In addition, Skyline’s housing products compete with other forms of housing, such as new and existing site-built homes, apartments, condominiums, and townhouses, as well as rental housing. The inability to effectively compete in this environment could result in lower net sales, operating results, and cash flows.

The availability of retail financing has a significant impact on Skyline’s business.

Customers who purchase Skyline’s products generally obtain retail financing from third party lenders. The availability, terms, and cost of retail financing depend on the lending practices of financial institutions, governmental policies, and economic and other conditions, all of which are beyond Skyline’s control. A customer seeking to purchase a manufactured home without land will generally pay a higher interest rate and have a shorter loan maturity versus a customer financing the purchase of land and a home. This difference is due to most states classifying home-only manufactured housing loans as personal property rather than real property for purposes of taxation and lien perfection.

In past years, many lenders of home-only financing have tightened credit underwriting standards, with some deciding to exit the industry. These actions resulted in decreased availability of retail financing, causing a negative effect on sales and operating results, as other forms of housing became relatively more attractive. If retail financing were to be further curtailed, net sales, operating results, and cash flows of Skyline and the combined company could be adversely affected.

A dealer’s ability to obtain wholesale financing may affect Skyline’s business.

Independent dealers of Skyline’s products generally finance their inventory purchases with wholesale floor plan financing provided by lending institutions. A dealer’s ability to obtain financing is significantly affected by the number of lending institutions offering floor planning, and by an institution’s lending limits. In past years, the industries in which Skyline operates experienced a reduction in both the number of lenders offering floor planning and the amount of money available for financing. Any further decline in wholesale financing could have a negative impact on a dealer’s ability to purchase manufactured housing, modular housing, and park model products, resulting in lower net sales, operating results, and cash flows of Skyline and the combined company.

Skyline is subject to governmental regulation.

Skyline is subject to various governmental regulations. Implementation of new regulations or amendments to existing regulations could significantly increase the cost of Skyline’s products. In addition, failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines or potential civil or criminal liability. Both scenarios could negatively impact net sales, operating results, and cash flows.

Skyline is contingently liable under repurchase agreements with financial institutions.

Skyline is contingently liable to repurchase its products under repurchase agreements with certain financial institutions providing inventory financing for retailers of its products. Skyline could be required to fulfill some or all of the repurchase agreements, resulting in increased expense and reduced cash flows.

Skyline’s business is cyclical and seasonal in nature.

The industries in which Skyline operates are highly cyclical, and are impacted by the following conditions, among others: the availability of wholesale and retail financing; consumer confidence; interest rates;

33

demographic and employment trends; the availability of used or repossessed homes or park models; the relative attractiveness of other forms of new, existing and rental housing; and the impact of inflation. Sales associated with the manufactured housing, modular housing, and park model industries are also seasonal in nature with sales being lowest in the winter months. Seasonal changes, in addition to weakness in demand in one or both of Skyline’s market segments, could materially impact the net sales, operating results, and cash flows of Skyline and the combined company.

Risks Related to Champion Holdings

The factory-built housing industry is cyclical, is affected by seasonality and is sensitive to changes in general economic or other business conditions.

The factory-built housing industry is affected by seasonality. Sales during the period from March to November are traditionally higher than in other months. As a result, Champion Holdings’ sales and operating results sometimes fluctuate and may continue to fluctuate in the future.

The factory-built housing industry is also sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, job growth, population growth, consumer confidence, consumer income, availability of financing, interest rate levels and an oversupply of homes for sale. Adverse changes in any of these conditions generally, or in the markets where Champion Holdings operates, could decrease demand and pricing for new factory-built homes in these areas or result in customer cancellations of pending shipments, which could adversely affect the number of shipments Champion Holdings makes or reduce the prices it can charge, either of which could result in a decrease in Champion Holdings’ revenues and earnings that could adversely affect Champion Holdings’ financial condition.

Champion Holdings is subject to demand fluctuations in the housing industry. Reductions in demand could adversely affect Champion Holdings’ business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Demand for Champion Holdings’ homes is subject to fluctuations, often due to factors outside of Champion Holdings’ control. In a housing market downturn, Champion Holdings’ sales and results of operations could be adversely affected; it may have significant inventory impairments and other write-offs; its gross margins may decline significantly from historical levels; and it may incur losses from operations. Champion Holdings cannot predict the continuation of the current housing recovery, nor can it provide assurance that should the recovery not continue its response will be successful.

Future increases in interest rates, more stringent credit standards, tightening of financing terms, or other increases in the effective costs of owning a factory-built home (including those related to regulation or other government actions) could limit or curtail the purchasing power of Champion Holdings’ potential customers and could adversely affect Champion Holdings’ business and financial results.

A large majority of Champion Holdings’ customers finance their home purchases through third-party lenders. While interest rates have increased moderately, they have been near historical lows for several years, which has made purchasing new factory-built homes more affordable. Increases in interest rates or decreases in the availability of consumer financing could adversely affect the market for homes. Potential customers may be less willing or able to pay the increased monthly costs or to obtain financing. Lenders may increase the qualifications needed for financing or adjust their terms to address any increased credit risk. These factors could adversely affect the sales or pricing of Champion Holdings’ factory-built homes. These developments have historically had, and may once again have, a material adverse effect on the overall demand for factory-built housing and its competitiveness with other forms of housing, and could adversely affect Champion Holdings’ results of operations and financial condition.

The liquidity provided by Government-Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”) and the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) is also critical in insuring or purchasing home mortgages and creating or insuring

34

investment securities that are either sold to investors or held in their portfolios. The impact of the federal government’s conservatorship of GSEs on the short-term and long-term demand for new housing as well as any potential restructuring of the GSEs remains unclear. Any limitations or restrictions on the availability of financing by these agencies could adversely affect interest rates, financing, and Champion Holdings sales of new homes.

The Dodd-Frank Act established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) to regulate consumer financial products and services. Since 2014, the CFPB has promulgated rules concerning consumer credit transactions secured by a dwelling, which include real property mortgages and chattel loans (financed without land) secured by factory-built homes. Overall, the rules have caused some lenders to curtail underwriting such loans, and some investors are reluctant to own or participate in owning such loans because of the uncertainty of potential litigation and other costs. Consequently, such regulatory developments could cause some prospective buyers of factory-built homes to be unable to secure the financing necessary to complete purchases. In addition, compliance with the law and ongoing rule implementation has caused lenders to incur additional costs to implement new processes, procedures, controls, and infrastructure required to comply with the regulations. Compliance may constrain lenders’ ability to profitably price certain loans. Failure to comply with these regulations, changes in these or other regulations, or the imposition of additional regulations, could affect Champion Holdings’ earnings, limit its access to capital, and have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.

The CFPB rules amending the Truth in Lending Act and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act expand the types of mortgage loans that are subject to the protections of the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act (“HOEPA”), revise and expand the tests for coverage under HOEPA, and impose additional restrictions on mortgages that are covered by HOEPA. As a result, certain factory-built home loans are now subject to HOEPA limits on interest rates and fees. Loans with rates or fees in excess of the limits are deemed “high cost mortgages” and provide additional protections for borrowers, including with respect to determining the value of the home. Most loans for the purchase of factory-built homes have been written at rates and fees that would not appear to be considered high cost mortgages under the rule. Although some lenders may continue to offer loans that are now deemed high cost mortgages, the rate and fee limits appear to have deterred some lenders from offering loans to certain borrowers and may continue to make them reluctant to enter into loans subject to the provisions of HOEPA. As a result, some prospective buyers of factory-built homes may be unable to secure financing necessary to complete factory-built home purchases.

On December 1, 2017, the House of Representatives passed the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act of 2017 (H.R. 1699). The bill has been received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. If passed by the Senate and signed into law, the proposed legislation would amend some Dodd-Frank Act provisions that affect factory-built housing financing and its terms may affect the availability of financing for factory-built housing and the ability of prospective customers to purchase Champion Holdings’ products.

The availability of wholesale financing for retailers is limited due to a limited number of floor plan lenders and reduced lending limits.

Factory-built housing retailers generally finance their inventory purchases with wholesale floor plan financing provided by lending institutions. The availability of wholesale financing is significantly affected by the number of floor plan lenders and their lending limits. Limited availability of floor plan lending negatively affects the inventory levels of Champion Holdings’ independent retailers, the number of retail sales center locations and related wholesale demand, and adversely affects the availability of and access to capital on an ongoing basis. As a result, Champion Holdings could experience sales declines or a higher level of customer defaults and its operating results and cash flows could suffer.

35

Champion Holdings has contingent repurchase obligations related to wholesale financing provided to industry retailers.

As is customary in the factory-built housing industry, a significant portion of Champion Holdings’ manufacturing sales to independent retailers are financed under floor plan agreements with financing companies. Payment for floor plan sales is generally received 5 to 15 business days from the date of invoice. In connection with the floor plan programs, Champion Holdings generally has separate agreements with the financing companies that require Champion Holdings to repurchase homes upon default by the retailer and repossession of the homes by the financing companies. These repurchase agreements are applicable for various periods of time, generally up to 24 months after the sale of the home to the retailer. However, certain homes are subject to repurchase until the home is sold by the retailer. Champion Holdings’ contingent repurchase obligation as of December 30, 2017, was estimated to be approximately $113.0 million, without reduction for the resale value of the homes. Champion Holdings may be required to honor contingent repurchase obligations in the future and may incur additional expense and reduced cash flows because of these repurchase agreements.

If Champion Holdings is unable to establish or maintain relationships with independent distributors who sell its homes, Champion Holdings’ sales could decline and its operating results and cash flows could suffer.

Although Champion Holdings maintains its own factory direct retail business in select markets, it still conducts a significant amount of its business through independent distributors. For example, approximately 84% of Champion Holdings’ fiscal year 2017 manufacturing shipments of homes were made to independent distributors throughout the United States and Western Canada. As is common in the factory-built housing industry, independent distributors may sell factory-built homes produced by competing manufacturers. Champion Holdings may not be able to establish relationships with new independent distributors or maintain good relationships with independent distributors that sell its homes. Even if Champion Holdings does establish and maintain relationships with independent distributors, these customers are not obligated to sell Champion Holdings’ homes exclusively and may choose to sell competitors’ homes instead. The independent distributors with whom Champion Holdings has relationships can cancel these relationships on short notice. In addition, these customers may not remain financially solvent, as they are subject to the same industry, economic, demographic and seasonal trends that Champion Holdings faces. If Champion Holdings does not establish and maintain relationships with solvent independent distributors in the markets it serves, sales in those markets could decline, and if Champion Holdings was unable to effect offsetting expansion of its factory-direct retail business, Champion Holdings’ operating results and cash flows could suffer.

Prices of certain materials can fluctuate and availability of certain materials may be limited at times.

Prices of certain materials such as lumber, insulation, steel, drywall, oil-based products and fuel can fluctuate significantly due to changes in demand and supply. Additionally, availability of certain materials such as drywall and insulation may be limited at times resulting in higher prices and/or the need to find alternative suppliers. Champion Holdings may attempt to pass the higher material costs on to customers but it is not certain that it will be able to achieve this without affecting demand or that limited availability of materials will not impact its production capabilities and results of operations.

Champion Holdings’ results of operations can be adversely affected by labor shortages and turnover.

The homebuilding industry has from time to time experienced labor shortages and other labor related issues. A number of factors may adversely affect the labor force available to Champion Holdings and its subcontractors in one or more of its markets, including high employment levels, construction market conditions, and government regulation, which include laws and regulations related to workers’ health and safety, wage and hour practices, and immigration. Champion Holdings’ direct labor has historically experienced high turnover rates, which can lead to increased spending on training and retention and, as a result, increased costs of production. An overall labor shortage or a lack of skilled labor could cause significant increases in costs or delays in construction of homes, which could have a material adverse effect upon Champion Holdings’ revenue and results of operations.

36

Industry conditions and future operating results could limit Champion Holdings’ sources of capital. If Champion Holdings is unable to locate suitable sources of capital when needed, it may be unable to maintain or expand its business.

As of December 30, 2017, Champion Holdings has total indebtedness outstanding under its existing senior secured credit facility of approximately $47.0 million (the “Existing Credit Facility”). Champion Holdings depends on its cash balances, cash flows from operations, and its Existing Credit Facility to finance its operating requirements, capital expenditures, and other needs. The prior downturn in the factory-built housing industry beginning in 2007, combined with its operating results and other changes, adversely affected Champion Holdings, limiting its sources of financing. If Champion Holdings’ cash balances, cash flows from operations, and availability under its Existing Credit Facility are insufficient to finance its operations and alternative capital is not available, Champion Holdings may not be able to expand its business and make acquisitions, or it may need to curtail or limit its existing operations.

Factory-built housing operates in the highly competitive housing industry, and, if other home builders are more successful or offer better value to Champion Holdings’ customers, its business could decline.

Champion Holdings operates in a very competitive environment, in which it faces competition from a number of other home builders in each market in which it operates. Champion Holdings competes with large national and regional home building companies and with smaller local home builders for financing, raw materials, and skilled management and labor resources. Some of Champion Holdings’ manufacturing competitors have captive retail distribution systems and consumer finance and insurance operations. In addition, there are independent factory-built housing retail locations in most areas where independent retailers sell Champion Holdings’ homes and in most areas where it has retail operations. Because barriers to entry to the industry at both the manufacturing and retail levels are low, Champion Holdings believes that it is relatively easy for new competitors to enter its markets. In addition, Champion Holdings’ products compete within the housing industry more broadly with other forms of low to moderate-cost housing, including site-built homes, panelized homes, apartments, townhouses, condominiums, and repossessed homes. Champion Holdings also competes with the resale homes, also referred to as “previously owned or existing” homes, as well as rental housing.

An oversupply of homes available for sale or the heavy discounting of home prices by some of Champion Holdings’ competitors could adversely affect demand for its homes and the results of its operations. An increase in competitive conditions can have any of the following impacts on Champion Holdings: delivering fewer homes; sale of fewer homes or higher cancellations by Champion Holdings’ home buyers; an increase in selling incentives and/or reduction of prices; and realization of lower gross margins due to lower selling prices or an inability to increase selling prices to offset increased costs of the homes delivered. If Champion Holdings is unable to compete effectively in its markets, its business could decline disproportionately to that of its competitors. As a result, its sales could decline and its operating results and cash flows could suffer.

Changes in consumer preferences for Champion Holdings’ products or its failure to gauge those preferences could lead to reduced sales.

Champion Holdings cannot be certain that historical consumer preferences for factory-built homes in general, and for its products in particular, will remain unchanged. Champion Holdings’ ability to remain competitive depends heavily on its ability to provide a continuing and timely introduction of innovative product offerings. Champion Holdings believes that the introduction of new features, designs, and models will be critical to the future success of its operations. Managing frequent product introductions poses inherent risks. Delays in the introduction or market acceptance of new models, designs, or product features could have a material adverse effect on Champion Holdings’ business. Products may not be accepted for a number of reasons, including changes in consumer preferences or Champion Holdings’ failure to properly gauge consumer preferences. Further, Champion Holdings cannot be certain that new product introductions will not reduce revenues from existing models and adversely affect its results of operations. In addition, its revenues may be adversely affected if its new models and products are not introduced to the market on time or are not successful when introduced. Finally, Champion Holdings’ competitors’ new products may obtain better market acceptance.

37

When Champion Holdings introduces new products into the marketplace, it may incur expenses that it did not anticipate, which, in turn, can result in reduced earnings.

The introduction of new models, floor plans, and features are critical to Champion Holdings’ future success. Champion Holdings may incur unexpected expenses, however, when it introduces new models, floor plans, or features. For example, it may experience unexpected engineering or design flaws that may cause increased warranty costs. The costs resulting from these types of problems could be substantial and could have a significant adverse effect on Champion Holdings’ earnings. Estimated warranty costs are provided at the time of product sale to reflect Champion Holdings’ best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products. An increase in actual warranty claims costs as compared to Champion Holdings’ estimates could result in increased warranty reserves and expense which could have an adverse impact on Champion Holdings’ earnings.

For some of the components used in production, Champion Holdings depends on a small group of suppliers and the loss of any of these suppliers could affect Champion Holdings’ ability to obtain components timely or at competitive prices, which would decrease its sales and profit margins. Some components are sourced from foreign sources and delays in obtaining these components could result in increased costs and decreased sales and profit margins.

Champion Holdings depends on timely and sufficient delivery of components from its suppliers. Most components are readily available from a variety of sources. However, a few key components are currently produced by only a small group of quality suppliers that have the capacity to supply large quantities. If Champion Holdings cannot obtain an adequate supply of these key components its sales could decline and its operating results and cash flows could suffer.

Champion Holdings’ products and services may experience quality problems from time to time that can result in decreased sales and gross margin and could harm Champion Holdings’ reputation.

Champion Holdings’ products contain thousands of parts, many of which are supplied by a network of approved vendors. As with Champion Holdings’ competitors, product defects may occur, including components purchased from material vendors. Champion Holdings cannot assure that all such defects will be detected prior to the distribution of its products. In addition, although Champion Holdings endeavors to compel suppliers to maintain appropriate levels of insurance coverage, it cannot assure that if a defect in a vendor-supplied part were to occur that the vendor would have the ability to financially rectify the defect. Failure to detect defects in Champion Holdings’ products, including vendor-supplied parts, could result in lost revenue, increased warranty and related costs, and could harm Champion Holdings’ reputation.

If the factory-built housing industry is not able to secure favorable local zoning ordinances, Champion Holdings’ sales could decline and its operating results and cash flows could suffer.

Limitations on the number of sites available for placement of factory-built homes or on the operation of factory-built housing communities could reduce the demand for factory-built homes and, as a result, Champion Holdings’ sales. Factory-built housing communities and individual home placements are subject to local zoning ordinances and other local regulations relating to utility service and construction of roadways. In the past, some property owners have resisted the adoption of zoning ordinances permitting the use of factory-built homes in residential areas, which Champion Holdings believes has restricted the growth of the industry. Factory-built homes may not receive widespread acceptance and localities may not adopt zoning ordinances permitting the development of factory-built home communities. If the factory-built housing industry is unable to secure favorable local zoning ordinances, Champion Holdings’ sales could decline and its operating results and cash flows could suffer.

38

Champion Holdings may not be able to manage its business effectively if it cannot retain current management team members or if it is unable to attract and motivate key personnel.

Champion Holdings may not be able to attract or motivate qualified management and operations personnel in the future. If Champion Holdings is not able to attract and motivate necessary personnel to accomplish its business objectives, it will experience constraints that will significantly impede the achievement of its objectives. Transitions in Champion Holdings’ senior management team may result in operational disruptions, and its business may be harmed as a result. Champion Holdings may also have difficulty attracting experienced personnel to its company and may be required to expend significant financial resources in its employee recruitment efforts.

Product liability claims and litigation and warranty claims that arise in the ordinary course of business may be costly, which could adversely affect Champion Holdings’ business.

As a home builder, Champion Holdings is subject to construction defect and home warranty claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims are common in the home building industry and can be costly. In addition, the costs of insuring against construction defect and product liability claims are high. There can be no assurance that this coverage will not be restricted and become more costly. If the limits or coverages of Champion Holdings’ current and former insurance programs prove inadequate, or Champion Holdings is not able to obtain adequate, or reasonably priced insurance against these types of claims in the future, or the amounts currently provided for future warranty or insurance claims are inadequate, Champion Holdings may experience losses that could negatively impact its financial results.

Champion Holdings records expenses and liabilities based on the estimated costs required to cover its self-insured liability under its insurance policies, and estimated costs of potential claims and claim adjustment expenses that are above its coverage limits or that are not covered by its insurance policies. These estimated costs are based on an analysis of Champion Holdings’ historical claims and industry data, and include an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Due to the degree of judgment required and the potential for variability in the underlying assumptions when deriving estimated liabilities, Champion Holdings’ actual future costs could differ from those estimated, and the difference could be material to its consolidated financial statements.

Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise Champion Holdings’ information and expose it to liability, which would cause its business and reputation to suffer.

In the ordinary course of Champion Holdings’ business, it collects and stores sensitive data, including intellectual property, its proprietary business information and that of its suppliers and business partners, as well as personally identifiable information of its customers and employees. Champion Holdings also has outsourced elements of its information technology structure, and as a result, it is managing independent vendor relationships with third parties who may or could have access to Champion Holdings’ confidential information. Similarly, Champion Holdings’ business partners and other third party providers possess certain of its sensitive data. The secure maintenance of this information is critical to Champion Holdings’ operations and business strategy. Despite its security measures, Champion Holdings’ information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. Champion Holdings, its partners, vendors, and other third party providers could be susceptible to third party attacks on Champion Holdings’, and their, information security systems, which attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise, including criminal groups. Any such breach could compromise Champion Holdings’ networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost, or stolen. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, disrupt Champion Holdings’ operations, and damage its reputation, any of which could adversely affect Champion Holdings’ business.

39

Champion Holdings is subject to extensive regulation affecting the production and sale of factory-built housing, which could adversely affect its profitability.

Champion Holdings is subject to a variety of federal, state, and local laws and regulations affecting the production and sale of factory-built housing. Champion Holdings’ failure to comply with such laws and regulations could expose it to a wide variety of sanctions, including closing one or more manufacturing facilities. Regulatory matters affecting Champion Holdings’ operations are under regular review by governmental bodies and Champion Holdings cannot predict what effect, if any, new laws and regulations would have on it or the factory-built housing industry. Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or the passage in the future of new and more stringent laws, may adversely affect Champion Holdings’ financial condition or results of operations.

The cost of operations could be adversely impacted by increased costs of healthcare benefits provided to employees.

In 2010, the Affordable Care Act, was passed into law. As enacted, the health reform law changes, among other things, certain aspects of health insurance. The Affordable Care Act, coupled with the uncertainty in the insurance markets associated with the future of the Act, could increase Champion Holdings’ healthcare costs, which could adversely impact Champion Holdings’ earnings.

A prolonged delay by Congress and the President to approve budgets or continuing appropriation resolutions to facilitate the operations of the federal government could delay the completion of home sales and/or cause cancellations, and thereby negatively impact Champion Holdings’ deliveries and revenues.

Congress and the President may not timely approve budgets or appropriation legislation to facilitate the operations of the federal government. As a result, many federal agencies have historically and may again cease or curtail some activities. The affected activities include Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) verification of loan applicants’ tax return information, the funding of orders by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) as part of FEMA’s disaster relief efforts, and approvals by the FHA and other government agencies to fund or insure mortgage loans under programs that these agencies operate. As many of Champion Holdings’ home buyers use these programs to obtain financing to purchase its homes, and many lenders require ongoing coordination with these and other governmental entities to originate home loans, a prolonged delay in the performance of their activities could prevent prospective qualified buyers of its homes from obtaining the loans they need to complete such purchases, which could lead to delays or cancellations of home sales. These and other affected governmental bodies could cause interruptions in various aspects of Champion Holdings’ business and investments. Depending on the length of disruption, such factors could have a material adverse impact on Champion Holdings’ results of operations and financial condition.

Increases in the after-tax costs of owning a factory-built home could prevent potential customers from buying Champion Holdings’ products and adversely affect its business or financial results.

Significant expenses of owning a factory-built home, including mortgage interest expenses and real estate taxes, generally were, under prior tax law, deductible expenses for an individual’s federal, and in some cases state, income taxes, subject to certain limitations. The new tax reform law (H.R. 1) which is commonly referred to as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “TCJA”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The TCJA includes provisions which would impose limitations with respect to these income tax deductions. Increases in property tax rates or fees on developers by local governmental authorities, as experienced in response to reduced federal and state funding or to fund local initiatives, such as funding schools or road improvements, or increases in insurance premiums can adversely affect the ability of potential customers to obtain financing or their desire to purchase new homes, and can have an adverse impact on Champion Holdings’ business and financial results.

40

The transportation industry is subject to government regulation, and regulatory changes could have a material adverse effect on Champion Holdings’ operating results or financial condition.

Champion Holdings’ Star Fleet Trucking subsidiary provides transportation services. The transportation industry is subject to legislative or regulatory changes, including potential limits on carbon emissions under climate change legislation and Department of Transportation regulations regarding, among other things, driver breaks, classification of independent drivers, “restart” rules, and the use of electronic logging devices that can affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and cost of providing, transportation services. Champion Holdings may become subject to new or more restrictive regulations relating to fuel emissions or limits on vehicle weight and size. Future laws and regulations may be more stringent and require changes in operating practices, influence the demand for transportation services or increase the cost of providing transportation services, any of which could adversely affect Champion Holdings’ business and results of operations.

Natural disasters and severe weather conditions could delay deliveries, increase costs, and decrease demand for new factory-built homes in affected areas.

Champion Holdings’ operations are located in many areas that are subject to natural disasters and severe weather. The occurrence of natural disasters or severe weather conditions can delay factory-built home deliveries, increase costs by damaging inventories, reduce the availability of materials, and negatively impact the demand for new factory-built homes in affected areas. Furthermore, if Champion Holdings’ insurance does not fully cover business interruptions or losses resulting from these events, Champion Holdings’ earnings, liquidity, or capital resources could be adversely affected.

Changes in foreign exchange rates could adversely affect the value of Champion Holdings’ investments in Canada and cause foreign exchange losses related to intercompany loans.

Champion Holdings has substantial investments in businesses in Canada. Unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates could adversely affect the value of Champion Holdings’ investments in these businesses. Champion Holdings uses intercompany loans between its U.S. and foreign subsidiaries to provide funds for acquisitions and other purposes. Fluctuations in the relative exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar could result in foreign exchange transaction losses that will be reported in Champion Holdings’ statement of operations until such loans are repaid.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF SKYLINE’S SHAREHOLDERS

General

This document is being delivered to Skyline’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board to be voted at the Special Meeting of Skyline’s shareholders. This document and enclosed form of proxy are being sent to Skyline’s shareholders on or about April 27, 2018.

Date, Time, and Place

We will hold the Special Meeting at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, at the Fairfield Inn and Suites, located at 3501 Plaza Court, Elkhart, Indiana 46514. If you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please note that you may be asked to present valid photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. Shareholders owning stock in brokerage accounts must bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting stock ownership as of the record date. Cameras, recording devices, and other electronic devices will not be permitted to be used at the meeting.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting is being held for the following purposes:

The Board and management is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the meeting other than those mentioned above and has not received notice from any shareholders requesting that other matters be considered. However, if any other business is properly presented before the Special Meeting and may properly be voted upon, the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holders named therein.

A copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Recommendation of Skyline’s Board of Directors

The Board unanimously voted in favor of the Exchange and the proposals set forth above. Based on the reasons discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Board has determined that the Exchange Agreement, the

44

Exchange, and the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Skyline and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote:

Record Date and Voting; Quorum

The close of business on April 23, 2018 has been selected as the record date for the determination of Skyline’s shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. On that date, 8,391,244 shares of Skyline’s Common Stock were outstanding. Shareholders will be entitled to one vote for each share of Skyline’s Common Stock held by them of record at the close of business on the record date on any matter that may be presented for consideration and action by the shareholders. The presence, in person or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Skyline’s Common Stock will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting.

You may vote in one of four ways: (1) by mail (by completing and signing the proxy card that accompanies this proxy statement/prospectus); (2) by telephone; (3) by using the Internet; and (4) in person (by either delivering the completed proxy card or by casting a ballot if attending the Special Meeting). If your shares are held by a broker or other nominee, you must obtain a proxy from the broker or nominee giving you the right to vote the shares at the Special Meeting. If you plan to attend the Special Meeting, you must hold your shares in your own name or have a letter from the record holder of your shares confirming your ownership and you must bring photo identification with you in order to be admitted. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to anyone without proper proof of share ownership and without proper photo identification.

All proxies properly submitted in time to be counted at the Special Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy. If you submit a proxy without voting instructions, the proxies named in the proxy will vote on your behalf for each matter described above in accordance with the recommendations of the Board on all the proposals as set forth in this proxy statement and on any other matters in accordance with their best judgment.

If you have shares held by a broker or other nominee, you may instruct the broker or other nominee to vote your shares by following the instructions the broker or other nominee provides to you. Proxies solicited by this proxy statement may be exercised only at the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof and will not be used for any other meeting.

Vote Required

The following votes will be required to approve the proposals:

45

Abstentions and “broker non-votes” (described below) are counted to determine the presence or absence of a quorum but are not considered votes cast. The required vote of Skyline’s shareholders on each of the Charter Amendment Proposals is based on the number of outstanding shares of Skyline Common Stock and not the number of shares that are actually voted. Accordingly, the failure to submit a proxy card or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, or the abstention from voting by a Skyline shareholder, or the failure of any Skyline shareholder who holds shares in “street name” through a bank or broker to give voting instructions to such bank or broker (thereby resulting in a “broker non-vote”), will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the applicable Charter Amendment Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be included in the vote count on the Shares Issuance Proposal, the Exchange-Related Compensation Proposal, or the Adjournment Proposal.

A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker submits a proxy that does not indicate a vote on a proposal because the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote on such proposal and the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of instructions. Brokers generally have the authority to vote, even though they have not received instructions, on matters that are considered “routine.” However, under relevant stock exchange rules, the Charter Amendment Proposals, the Shares Issuance Proposal, the Exchange-Related Compensation Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal to be considered at the Special Meeting are not considered routine matters and brokers are not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on these matters without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. To avoid a broker non-vote of your shares held in street name, you must provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee.

Shares Held by Officers and Directors

As of the record date:

Voting Procedures

Ensure that your shares of Common Stock can be voted at the Special Meeting by submitting your proxy or contacting your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee.

If your shares of Common Stock of Skyline are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee, check the voting instruction card forwarded by your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee to see which voting options are available or contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee in order to obtain directions as to how to ensure that your shares of Common Stock are voted at the Special Meeting.

If your shares of Common Stock of Skyline are registered in your name, submit your proxy as soon as possible by telephone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, so that your shares of Common Stock can be voted at the Special Meeting. Instructions regarding telephone and Internet voting are included on the proxy card.

The failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against the Charter Amendment Proposals. If you sign, date, and mail your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted

46

“FOR” approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals, the Shares Issuance Proposal, the non-binding advisory Exchange-Related Compensation Proposal, and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

For additional questions about the Exchange or for assistance in submitting proxies or voting shares of Common Stock of Skyline, or to request additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card, please call Georgeson at (866) 391-7007.

Voting by Proxy or in Person at the Special Meeting

Holders of record can ensure that their shares of Common Stock are voted at the Special Meeting by completing, signing, dating, and delivering the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Submitting by this method or voting by telephone or the Internet as described below will not affect your right to attend the Special Meeting and to vote in person. If you plan to attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the Special Meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares of Common Stock are held in “street name” by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee and you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you must bring to the Special Meeting a proxy from the record holder of those shares of Common Stock authorizing you to vote at the Special Meeting.

You should return a proxy by mail, by telephone, or via the Internet even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting in person. If you vote your shares of Common Stock by submitting a proxy, your shares will be voted at the Special Meeting as you indicated on your proxy card or Internet or telephone proxy. If no instructions are indicated on your signed proxy card, all of your shares of Common Stock will be voted:

Electronic Voting

Our holders of record and many shareholders who hold their shares of Common Stock through a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee will have the option to submit their proxy cards or voting instruction cards electronically by telephone or the Internet. Please note that there are separate arrangements for voting by telephone and Internet depending on whether your shares of Common Stock are registered in our records in your name or in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee. If you hold your shares of Common Stock through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should check your voting instruction card forwarded by your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee to see which options are available. Please read and follow the instructions on your proxy card or voting instruction card carefully.

Other Business

We do not expect that any matter will be brought before the Special Meeting other than the Charter Amendment Proposals, the Shares Issuance Proposal, the Exchange-Related Compensation Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal. If, however, other matters are properly presented at the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment with respect to those matters.

47

Revocation of Proxies

Submitting a proxy on the enclosed form or proxy does not preclude a shareholder from voting in person at the Special Meeting. You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before your vote is counted at the meeting by:

Attending the Special Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy. You must comply with one of the methods indicated above to revoke your proxy. If you hold your shares in “street name,” you must contact your broker or other nominee to change your vote or obtain a proxy from your broker to vote your shares if you wish to cast your vote in person at the meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses

The proxy solicitation of Skyline’s shareholders is being made by Skyline on behalf of the Board and will be paid for by Skyline. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers, and employees of Skyline may solicit proxies for the Special Meeting from Skyline’s shareholders personally or by telephone, the Internet, or other electronic means. However, Skyline’s directors, officers, and employees will not be paid any special or extra compensation for soliciting such proxies, although they may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. Upon request, Skyline will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks, trustees, and other fiduciaries for the reasonable expenses they incur in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of Skyline’s Common Stock.

In addition, Skyline has made arrangements with Georgeson to assist in soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting and has agreed to pay them $12,500, plus out-of-pocket expenses, for these services.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT. The Charter Amendment Proposals must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Skyline Common Stock, and the Shares Issuance Proposal must be approved by more votes of the Skyline shareholders cast in favor of the proposal than against it, in order for the proposed Exchange to be consummated. Holders of Skyline Common Stock are urged to read and carefully consider the information in this proxy statement. IF YOU DO NOT RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD, VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR BY INTERNET, OR DO NOT VOTE IN PERSON AT THE SPECIAL MEETING, THE EFFECT WILL BE A VOTE AGAINST THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS.

Assistance

If you need assistance in completing your proxy card or have questions regarding the Special Meeting, please contact Skyline Corporation, P.O. Box 743, 2520 By-Pass Road, Elkhart, Indiana 46515, Attention: Corporate Secretary, (574) 294-6521. In addition, a representative of Crowe Horwath LLP, Skyline’s independent registered public accounting firm, plans to be present at the Special Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

SEND ONLY YOUR PROXY CARD. PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN ANY SHARE CERTIFICATES WITH YOUR PROXY CARD.
