Sturm, Ruger & Company's Board of Directors filed this definitive proxy statement in opposition to Beretta Holding S.A.'s nomination of four director candidates for the May 27, 2026 annual meeting. The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote for its nine nominees on the CAMO GREEN proxy card and opposes Beretta's nominees on white proxy cards. This is a contested director election where the universal proxy card lists both management's nine nominees and Beretta's four nominees.
