In her new responsibilities as Corporate Secretary, Ms. Colbert will manage the Company's corporate records and ensure adherence to applicable governance policies, bylaws, and federal and state regulations. She will serve as a key liaison to the Board of Directors and play an integral role in coordinating corporate disclosures and shareholder communications.

"Sarah has made tremendous contributions to Ruger over the past 14 years," said President and CEO Todd Seyfert. "Her combination of legal expertise, strategic thinking, and operational leadership uniquely positions her to serve in this expanded role. We're confident in her ability to lead our legal and governance functions while continuing to support the Company's long-term objectives."
