or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm’s investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing VSTO@hbsslaw.com.

VSTO disclosed on January 12, 2017 that it expects to record a material asset impairment charge (estimated to be in the range of $400 - $450 million) attributable to its Hunting and Shooting Accessories reporting unit during the fiscal 2017 third quarter.  This news drove the price of VSTO shares down over 21% to close at $29.58 per share that day.

Then, on January 13, 2017, VSTO announced the President of its Outdoor Products segment (which includes the Hunting and Shooting Accessories unit) left the Company.

“We’re looking at the timing of events indicating the Hunting and Shooting Accessories unit’s value was less than its book value,” said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
