Before discussing our upcoming special meeting of stockholders, we first want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your exceptional effort and commitment in helping us separate The Kinetic Group and Revelyst. We achieved this milestone because of your hard work, focus and dedication over the past few months, and we are deeply proud of how our team has come together to make this possible. We will share more about the separation process soon, but in the meantime, please know how much we appreciate your efforts to bring our companies to this point.

 

As you might have seen in Thursday's press release, our special meeting of stockholders to vote and approve the acquisition of the Kinetic Group by CSG will be held Nov. 25, 2024, at 9 a.m. CT. The CSG transaction positions The Kinetic Group for growth and success by providing the company with additional resources to build its iconic American brands. We urge stockholders to vote for the transaction at the upcoming stockholder meeting. Vista Outdoor and CSG have already received all regulatory approvals and expect the transaction to close shortly after receipt of stockholder approval.
