Compensation Discussion and Analysis Our Structure and Management Our organization is comprised of three separate, independent, business entities that work closely together: Compass Group Management LLC, the privately held external manager of the organization, which we refer to as our “Manager”, Compass Diversified Holdings, which we refer to as the “Trust” and Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC, which we refer to as the “Company.” Although the shares issued to the public are technically at the Trust level (NYSE: CODI), the Trust and the Company file consolidated reports with the SEC.

We continuously work with our subsidiaries to achieve growth organically and through add-on acquisitions, and we opportunistically evaluate strategic alternatives and assess the appropriate individual course of action for each of those companies, without regard to external and unrelated factors. Our Manager provides management services to the organization in accordance with the Management Services Agreement with the Company. The Management Services Agreement defines the duties and responsibilities of our Manager, its relationship with the Company, and the areas over which the Company’s Board has ultimate oversight and authority.
