Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

On May 5, 2026, VSE completed its acquisition of Precision Aviation Group (PAG) for up-front consideration of $2.025 billion, with up to an additional $125 million contingent on PAG's 2026 profitability. VSE funded part of the deal with a new $900 million term loan and increased its revolving credit facility, so shareholders will see the acquisition add both scale and debt. The filing does not report combined results, so the effect on per-share earnings is not yet quantified.
