March 27 Deadline Alert: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Vista Outdoor, Inc. Investors of Upcoming Lead Plaintiff
Deadline and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming March 27, 2017 deadline
to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of a class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired
Vista Outdoor, Inc. (“Vista” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VSTO) securities between August 11, 2016, and January 13, 2017, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Vista
investors have until March 27, 2017 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Vista designs, manufactures and markets consumer products in the outdoor sports and recreation markets. Vista operates in two
segments, Shooting Sports and Outdoor Products.
The complaint filed in this lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading
statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s Outdoor Products segment, including: (1) that
Vista was experiencing an acceleration in the softening of the retail environment and an acceleration in its own promotional
activity; (2) that, as such, Vista was experiencing both revenue and gross margin declines; (3) that, as a result of the foregoing,
the Company would have to begin the impairment assessment for its Outdoor Products segment’s reporting units in the third quarter
of 2017, rather than with the preparation of the Company’s fiscal year 2017 (“FY17”) annual financial statements; (4) that, as a
result, the Company would have to recognize an impairment charge in the range of $400 million to $450 million; and (5) that, as a
result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Vista’s business, operations and prospects, were false and misleading and/or
lacked a reasonable basis.
If you purchased Vista shares, you may move the Court no later than March 27, 2017 to request appointment as
lead plaintiff. To be a member of the class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or
take no action and remain an absent member of the Class. If you wish to learn more about this action, or if you have any
questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith,
