Strategic alternatives include:
- Exploration of a full range of alternatives for Revelyst, including a potential sale of Revelyst. The Czechoslovak Group a.s. ("CSG") is also considering an acquisition of Revelyst with potential partners (in addition to its proposed acquisition of The Kinetic Group).
- Engagement with MNC Capital ("MNC") and its private equity partner with respect to its proposal to acquire Vista Outdoor to see if it can deliver superior value for the Company's stockholders. This follows MNC's recent public statement on July 26, 2024 that "if there were a reason or basis to increase our offer, including Vista engaging with us and providing one, we would increase our offer price". In light of this recent statement, the Board has determined that MNC's proposal would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal and meets the standard for engagement under the terms of the CSG merger agreement. Considering the extensive diligence conducted by MNC and its private equity partner to date, Vista Outdoor expects MNC to be able to confirm an increased proposal for the acquisition of Vista Outdoor in short order.
- Continued consideration of the separation of Revelyst and The Kinetic Group through a spin-off.
