**Section 1 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Registrant's Business and Operations**

**Item 1.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

On June 24, 2026, Compass Diversified Holdings (the "Trust") and Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the "Company" and, together with the Trust, "CODI") entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the "Settlement Agreement") and a Plan Support Agreement (the "Plan Support Agreement" and, together with the Settlement Agreement, the "Settlement Documents") with Lugano Diamonds & Jewelry Inc., Lugano Buyer, Inc., K.L.D. Jewelry, LLC, Lugano Prive, LLC, and Lugano Holding, Inc. (collectively, "Lugano"); Compass Group Management LLC, the Company's manager ("CGM"); Sostratus, LLC, the sole owner of the Company's allocation interests; and the official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in Lugano's cases under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Committee").

The Settlement Documents resolve all claims that were alleged against CODI and its related parties by or on behalf of Lugano or its bankruptcy estate. The alleged claims stem from the allegedly fraudulent actions taken by Lugano's former Chief Executive Officer. For more details regarding the investigation by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company into certain accounting and finance matters relating to Lugano, see CODI's Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 7, 2025, and CODI's subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement, the Company has agreed to support, and to vote any claims it holds in favor of, Lugano's proposed plan of liquidation (the "Plan of Liquidation"), which will incorporate the settlement terms.

Under the Settlement Agreement, and subject to Lugano creditor approval and bankruptcy court confirmation of the Plan of Liquidation, in resolution of its claims against Lugano, the Company will be entitled to receive:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 34.79% of the net proceeds from (i) the disposition of Lugano's inventory under a court-approved agency agreement, (ii) tax refunds, and (iii) Lugano's precious-stone theft insurance policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 45% of the net proceeds of any liquidation pursued by a liquidation trust established in accordance with the Plan of Liquidation (the "Liquidation Trust") against a certain third party, in connection with which CODI will assign certain claims to the Liquidation Trust; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 25% of the net proceeds of certain other litigation claims pursued by the Liquidation Trust.

In addition, the Company retains the right to recover the full amount of its asserted claim against Lugano from any residual amounts available from the Liquidation Trust after payment in full of allowed general unsecured claims. Because any such recovery is contingent on the satisfaction in full of those senior claims, the Company does not expect this right to result in a material recovery.

The Settlement Documents provide that CODI and its related parties will be released from all claims that could be asserted against them by or on behalf of Lugano or its bankruptcy estate, and may receive releases from certain Lugano creditors under the Plan of Liquidation.

By its terms, the Settlement Agreement will become effective and binding on the parties only upon the "Effective Date" — the date on which the conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement are satisfied or waived, including the occurrence of the effective date of the Plan of Liquidation (the "Plan Effective Date"). Until the Effective Date, the Settlement Agreement is not binding on any party. The recoveries described above are payable on or after the Plan Effective Date and will be administered through the proposed Liquidation Trust. There can be no assurance that the Plan of Liquidation will be confirmed or become effective, or as to the timing thereof.

The foregoing description of the Settlement Documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Settlement Agreement, the Plan Support Agreement, the Plan of Liquidation, and a Liquidation Trust Agreement between Lugano and the trustee thereunder, which are filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in In re Lugano Diamonds & Jewelry Inc., et al., Case No. 25-12055 (BLS).

**Compass Diversified Announces Settlement Advancing Lugano Plan of Liquidation** 

**WESTPORT, Conn., June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)** -- Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) ("CODI" or the "Company"), an owner of leading middle-market businesses, today announced that it has entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release and a related Plan Support Agreement (together, the "Settlement") in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings of Lugano Diamonds & Jewelry Inc. and its affiliated debtors ("Lugano"). The Settlement, reached with Lugano and its official committee of unsecured creditors and other parties in interest, will be incorporated into Lugano's proposed Plan of Liquidation and establishes the framework for CODI's recovery from the Lugano estate.

"This settlement is an important step forward," said Larry Enterline, Chairman of the Board of CODI. "It accelerates the resolution of the Lugano bankruptcy, allowing the estate to move efficiently toward confirmation of a plan of liquidation. It also enables more timely cash recovery for CODI and reduces the ongoing costs and uncertainty associated with the bankruptcy proceeding. With CODI's claims in the Lugano bankruptcy now resolved, the Company can keep its full attention on its strategic priorities to drive long-term value for shareholders: deleveraging the balance sheet, enhancing our businesses' operations, and closing the gap between CODI's trading price and the intrinsic value of its businesses."

Under the Settlement, CODI has agreed to support Lugano's proposed plan of liquidation, which incorporates the settlement terms. The Settlement is designed to accelerate the resolution of Lugano's bankruptcy, facilitate an orderly liquidation of Lugano's assets, allow for a timely distribution of recoveries, and provide greater certainty of recovery than continued litigation.

Subject to creditor approval and bankruptcy court confirmation of the plan of liquidation, CODI will be entitled to certain recoveries from the Lugano estate. This includes proceeds from the disposition of Lugano's inventory, tax refunds, insurance, and litigation claims pursued through a liquidation trust. Additionally, in exchange for releases granted by CODI and its related parties, CODI and its related parties will receive a release of claims from the Lugano estate. The terms of the Settlement are described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2026.

The Settlement will become effective only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the agreements, including the effectiveness of Lugano's Plan of Liquidation. There can be no assurance that the Plan of Liquidation will be confirmed or become effective, or as to the timing thereof.

The Company also continues to advance its previously announced review of the management services agreement, which is intended to further align incentives with shareholder interests and

------

drive incremental shareholder value. CODI expects to complete this review in the coming weeks.
