Shareholders of Clarus Corp. will meet Aug. 5 at its headquarters in Salt Lake City – the second to last day of the Outdoor Retailer show – to elect seven directors to its board and rename the company Black Diamond Equipment, Inc., according to a proxy statement filed by the company late Friday.


Shareholders will also vote on whether to amend the company’s bylaws and stock incentive plan.


Nominees for the seven positions on the board and their current holdings of the company’s stock are: Warren Kanders, 29.5%; Robert Schiller, 5.8%; Nicholas Sokolow, 2%; Donald House, 1.4%. Nominees Philip Duff, Philip Baratelli, Peter Metcalf, Michael Henning, and Robert Peay all own less than 1% of the company’s stock.

 

All seven have been serving on the company’s board since its reverse merger with Black Diamond Equipment and Gregory Mountain products, which closed May 28. Kanders and Schiller, who acquired Gregory in 2008, have been serving as Executive Chairman and Executive Vice Chairman. Metcalf, a founder and CEO of Black Diamond Equipment Ltd., holds the same position at the new combined company.

Clarus Corp.’s shares began trading on the NASDAQ market under the symbol BDE June 11.
