As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>") on May 7, 2025 (the "<u>Initial Form 8-K</u>"), Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the "<u>Company</u>") and Compass Diversified Holdings (the "<u>Trust</u>" and, together with the Company, "<u>CODI</u>") indicated its intent to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the "<u>Form 10-Q</u>") and disclosed non-reliance on its 2024 financial statements as a result of concerns about financing, accounting, and inventory practices at one of its subsidiaries, Lugano Holding, Inc. ("<u>Lugano</u>"), and irregularities identified in sales, cost of sales, inventory, and accounts receivable recorded by Lugano. Concurrently, the Company also provided notice to Bank of America, N.A. (the "<u>Administrative Agent</u>"), in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders, Swing Line Lender, and L/C Issuer under that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2022 (as amended, modified, extended, restated, replaced, or supplemented in writing from time to time, the "<u>Credit Agreement</u>"), advising of the existence of potential defaults or events of default under the Credit Agreement in respect of the matters disclosed in the Initial Form 8-K (the "<u>Lugano Events of Default</u>"). In connection with the events described in the Initial Form 8-K, and as previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 27, 2025 (the "<u>Forbearance Form 8-K</u>"), the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto representing at least 50% of the total credit exposure of all lenders under the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the lenders under the Credit Agreement agreed to refrain from exercising the rights and remedies available to them with respect to the Lugano Events of Default until 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on July 25, 2025, or the earlier occurrence of certain other specified events (the "<u>First Forbearance Agreement</u>"). Additionally, the First Forbearance Agreement provided for certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, as described in the Forbearance Form 8-K (the Credit Agreement, as amended by the First Forbearance Agreement, the "<u>Amended Credit Agreement</u>").

On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into a Second Forbearance Agreement and Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the "<u>Second Forbearance Agreement</u>") with the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto representing at least 50% of the total credit exposure of all lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement (the "<u>Consenting Lenders</u>"), pursuant to which the Consenting Lenders agreed on behalf of all lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement to refrain from exercising rights and remedies available to them with respect to the Lugano Events of Default until the earliest of: (a) 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on October 24, 2025; (b) the occurrence of any event of default other than a Lugano Event of Default; (c) the breach by the Company of any covenant or provision of the Second Forbearance Agreement; (d) a declaration by the trustee or any holders of the Company's 2029 Senior Unsecured Notes of any default or event of default under the Indenture dated as of March 23, 2021 between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, for which a forbearance agreement has not been executed with the Company within five business days after the date of such declaration; and (e) the declaration by the trustee or any holder of the 2032 Senior Unsecured Notes of any default or event of default under the Indenture dated as of November 27, 2021 between the Borrower and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, for which a forbearance agreement has not been executed with the Company within five business days after the date of such declaration (the period from July 25, 2025 through the earliest of events (a) through (e) above, the "<u>Forbearance Period</u>").

During the Forbearance Period, the lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Forbearance Agreement (the "<u>Further Amended Credit Agreement</u>"), will honor requests for credit extensions from the Company for revolving loans composed of term SOFR loans with an applicable rate of 2.50% per annum and an interest period of one month; provided, however, that such credit extensions shall not cause the lenders' revolving credit exposures (inclusive of letters of credit obligations) to exceed $60 million. Lenders representing at least 50% of the total credit exposure of all lenders under the Further Amended Credit Agreement may, in their discretion, approve additional revolving borrowings by the Company in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $10 million. The funds provided may be used by the Company for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes, and any other purpose of the Company not otherwise prohibited under the Credit Agreement. In addition, during the Forbearance Period, the Company may make Restricted Payments (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), including any dividend or other distribution with respect to equity interests, if, after giving effect to any indebtedness incurred in connection with such payment (a) all cash of the Company on deposit with the Administrative Agent or subject to a qualifying control account, plus (b) unused borrowing availability, is not less than $10 million; provided, however, that the forgoing is not the exclusive method by which the Company may make Restricted Payments.

------

In addition to the forbearance of the lenders described above, the Second Forbearance Agreement also amends the Amended Credit Agreement to, among other modifications, limit the management fees that may be paid by the Company to Compass Group Management LLC to no more than $5 million per fiscal quarter (with the amount of such management fees that cannot be paid due to this limitation being available to offset any potential future reduction in management fees as a result of any adjustments for deemed overpayments).

The foregoing description of the Second Forbearance Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Second Forbearance Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

**Section 7 Regulation FD**

**Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure** 

On July 28, 2025, CODI issued a press release regarding the matters set forth in Item 1.01 and other matters relating to the Initial Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "<u>Exchange Act</u>"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly incorporated by reference in such a filing.

| **Section 8** | **Other Events** |
| **Item 8.01** | **Other Events** |

---

The Company is continuing discussions with the Administrative Agent and the lenders regarding a waiver of the Lugano Events of Default. The Company expects that the Second Forbearance Agreement will allow these discussions to continue while CODI works to complete the restatement of its financial statements, as disclosed in the Initial Form 8-K and in the Form 8-K filed by CODI on June 25, 2025. However, CODI cannot make any assurances regarding the timing of the restatement, the potential need to restate additional periods, or whether the Company will be successful in receiving the requested waivers or other relief or future forbearance. If CODI is not successful in these efforts, it would likely have a material adverse effect on CODI's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

**CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without limitation expectations as to the timing and outcome of the Audit Committee's investigation, the willingness of the Company's lenders to provide future relief and/or waivers, the timing of filing periodic reports and restatements, the amount of any potential misstatements associated with Lugano and the impact any such misstatements may have on CODI's previously issued financial statements or results of operations, CODI's beliefs and expectations relating to the anticipated financial and other impacts of internal control failures, if any, and the items subject to investigation and restatement review, and the impacts of any material weaknesses identified and CODI's remediation efforts and efforts to prepare financial statements. Such forward looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believe," "expect," "may," "could," "would," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "should" or "anticipate" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions by the Board of Directors and management, and on information currently available to the Board of Directors and management. These statements involve risk and uncertainties that could cause CODI's actual results and outcomes to differ, perhaps materially, including but not limited to: the discovery of additional information relevant to the investigation; the conclusions of the Audit Committee (and timing of those conclusions) concerning matters relating to the investigation; the timing of the review by, and the conclusions of, CODI's independent registered public accounting firm regarding the investigation and CODI's financial statements; a further material delay in CODI's financial reporting or ability to hold an annual meeting of stockholders; the impacts of restatement reviews and the potential need to restate additional periods; CODI's ability to regain compliance with NYSE continued listing requirements; the cooperation of, and future concessions granted by, CODI's lenders; the likelihood that the control deficiencies identified or that may be identified in the future will result in material weaknesses in CODI's internal control over financial reporting; and commercial litigation relating to the CODI's representations regarding its financial statements and litigation,

------

enforcement actions or investigations relating to CODI's internal controls, restatement reviews, the investigation described in this Current Report, or related matters. Please see CODI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for other risk factors that you should consider in connection with such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements have been made. Except as required by law, CODI does not undertake any public obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, or new information after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

(c) The waivers and qualifications of any Lender set forth herein shall not be deemed to modify or affect the obligations of the Borrower to comply with each and every obligation, covenant, duty, and agreement under the Loan Documents, in each case as amended by this Agreement.

## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

![codilogorgb_1a.jpg](codilogorgb_1a.jpg)

**Compass Diversified Announces Extended Forbearance**

WESTPORT, Conn., July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) ("CODI" or the "Company") announced today that on July 25, 2025, the Company and its lender group entered into a second forbearance agreement, extending the prior forbearance period until October 24, 2025. CODI's lenders have further increased the amount of availability on the Company's $100 million revolving credit facility, increasing it from $40 million to $60 million during the forbearance period.

CODI originally entered into a forbearance agreement with its lenders on May 22, 2025 in the wake of CODI's investigation into financial and accounting irregularities at its subsidiary, Lugano Holdings, Inc. ("Lugano"). The investigation has preliminarily identified irregularities in Lugano's financing, accounting, and inventory practices.

CODI is focused on completing the investigation, which is progressing in line with expectations, and actively working to finalize the necessary financial restatements. Importantly, the investigation is focused on Lugano and does not involve any of CODI's other subsidiaries.

"We remain focused on driving strong performance across CODI's eight other subsidiary companies, all of which continue to operate normally, maintain healthy balance sheets, and collectively generate significant cash flow," said Elias Sabo, CEO of CODI. "Our liquidity position remains solid, supported by increased access to capital through our revolving credit facility. We value the ongoing collaboration with our banking partners and bondholders as we work through this process. Our priority remains on maximizing value for all of our stakeholders."

**CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without limitation, CODI's expectations as to the timing and outcome of the Lugano investigation, CODI's credit availability and future liquidity, actions taken in response to the outcome of the investigation, the future performance of Lugano and CODI's other subsidiaries, the filing or delay of CODI's periodic reports, and the amount of any potential misstatements associated with Lugano and the impact any such misstatements may have on CODI's previously issued financial statements or results of operations. Such forward looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believe," "expect," "may," "could," "would," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "should" or "anticipate" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions by the Board of Directors and management, and on information currently available to CODI's Board of Directors and management. These statements involve risk and uncertainties that could cause CODI's actual results and outcomes to differ, perhaps materially, including but not limited to: the discovery of additional information relevant to the investigation; the conclusions (and timing of those conclusions) concerning matters relating to the investigation; the timing of the review by, and the conclusions of, Grant Thornton regarding the

------

investigation and CODI's financial statements; a further material delay in CODI's financial reporting or ability to hold an annual meeting of stockholders; the impacts of restatement reviews; the likelihood that the control deficiencies identified or that may be identified in the future will result in material weaknesses in CODI's internal control over financial reporting; and commercial litigation relating to the investigation, including CODI's representations regarding its financial statements, and the possibility of future litigation or investigation relating to CODI's internal controls, restatement reviews, the investigation, or related matters. Please see CODI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for other risk factors that you should consider in connection with such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements have been made. Except as required by law CODI does not undertake any public obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, or new information after the date of this press release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
