AMMO, Inc. (NASDAQ:POWW, POWWP))))) (“AMMO” or the “Company”), the owner of GunBroker.com, the largest online marketplace serving the firearms and shooting sports industries, and a leading vertically integrated producer of high-performance ammunition and components, today acknowledged receipt of a lawsuit filed by Steve Urvan in the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Mr. Urvan has served as a director of the Company since April 2021 when he joined the Board of Directors upon the closing of the Company’s acquisition of GunBroker.com. In August 2022, Mr. Urvan launched a proxy contest in which he sought to replace a majority of the Board of Directors. The parties ultimately settled the proxy contest by agreement in November 2022. On April 28, 2023, Mr. Urvan filed suit against the Company and certain individuals (including some of its officers and directors) in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Mr. Urvan’s complaint alleges that he was fraudulently induced to sell GunBroker.com to the Company more than two years ago. Mr. Urvan seeks partial rescission of the transaction, monetary damages and other relief. The individual defendants believe Mr. Urvan’s claims are meritless and represent a continuation of Mr. Urvan’s campaign against the Company, and they plan to vigorously defend the Company and themselves against Mr. Urvan.
