Beretta Holding S.A., which owns 9.95% of Sturm, Ruger & Company, announced it will file a preliminary proxy statement to elect its slate of director nominees at the 2026 annual meeting. Beretta Holding is also pursuing a $44.80 per share cash tender offer, representing approximately 20% premium, after the Ruger board rejected a waiver of its shareholder rights plan. The filing includes a confrontational letter from Beretta Holding's counsel challenging the board's entrenchment and stating the company is exploring all litigation options.
