Agreement Provides an Exclusive 12-Month period to acquire Majority Ownership of the Remington Firearms Business
Boca Raton, FL, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Powell Max Limited (Nasdaq: PMAX) (“Powell Max” or the “Company”), today announced that it has signed a share exchange agreement with Blackrod Holdings, LLC, the parent company of Remington Firearms. The agreement marks a significant step in PMAX’s strategy to expand into new markets and pursue opportunities for growth.
In connection with the transaction, PMAX has initially acquired a minority stake in Blackrod and the agreement establishes an exclusivity period to pursue a larger business combination. The parties intend to negotiate a definitive agreement under which PMAX would acquire the remaining ownership interests in Blackrod.
“Remington is one of the most recognizable names in the firearms industry, with a legacy that resonates with generations of customers,” said Geordan Pursglove, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PMAX. “This agreement reflects our commitment to pursuing transactions that we believe will create long-term shareholder value. We see tremendous potential in the combination of Remington’s brand recognition, experienced management team and rich history, and we are excited to be part of the business’s next phase of growth.
