Vista Outdoor’s $1.125 Billion Sale of Revelyst to SVP

October 07, 2024

On October 4, 2024, Vista Outdoor Inc. (“Vista Outdoor”), the parent company of more than three dozen renowned brands that design, manufacture and market sporting and outdoor products, announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with funds managed by Strategic Value Partners, LLC, and its affiliates (“SVP”), a global alternative investment firm with approximately $19 billion of assets under management, to sell Revelyst in an all‑cash transaction based on an enterprise value of $1.125 billion. In connection with the SVP Transaction, Vista Outdoor also entered into an amendment to the merger agreement with Czechoslovak Group a.s.
