Sturm, Ruger & Company Inc. has launched a dedicated shareholder website ahead of its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders as it faces a proxy fight from competitor Beretta Holding S.A.
Ruger, in a statement, said the website, ruger.com/proxy2026, “provides shareholders with detailed information on the recently refreshed Ruger Board, which includes five new directors who have joined over the past year. The website also includes information on the company’s capital stewardship, shareholder returns, performance, and strategic direction, along with copies of meeting-related communications from Ruger and other important details regarding the Annual Meeting. As explained further on the website, Ruger has a strong record of consistently delivering long-term shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation and operational excellence.
“Ruger shareholders are encouraged to visit the website regularly for the most up-to-date information as the Annual Meeting approaches.”
Ruger is scheduled to hold its annual shareholders’ meeting virtually on Thursday, May 29.
Luxembourg-based Beretta has accumulated a 9.95 percent stake in Ruger since last September, becoming its largest shareholder. It initially indicated it was looking to discuss “potential areas of operational and strategic collaborations.” However, in late February, Beretta nominated four directors to Ruger’s board and became more public in criticizing Ruger’s board and management for Ruger’s underperformance. It has also established a website, ReloadRuger.com, to support its campaign.
