Arcline Investment Management LP is acquiring Kaman in a deal expected to close on April 19, pending final closing conditions.
Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Kaman (NYSE:KAMN).

Shareholders who own KAMN as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 20 cents dividend payout for every share
