If we are unable to expand CompoSecure’s business, or such attempts are more costly or less successful than anticipated, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted.

Furthermore, we expect that the initial resource investments required to build the capabilities required for us to perform our duties required by the CompoSecure Management Agreement will result in us initially operating with limited profitability.
Added
The management fees payable to us by our managed companies may impact our management priorities or cause us to select riskier managed company businesses to increase our compensation.
Removed
In addition, if we are unable to timely engage third-party providers, our ability to evaluate and negotiate with more complex managed companies could be adversely affected.
Added
Furthermore, the management agreements that we may enter into with other companies from time to time may contain termination and renewal provisions, and those provisions may or not be similar to the termination and renewal provisions contained in the CompoSecure Management Agreement or the Husky Management Agreement.
Added
The termination of any management agreement, including the CompoSecure Management Agreement or the Husky Management Agreement, or the reduction of fees payable to us thereunder, would each have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. 8 Table of Contents Our managed companies, including GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, may not be able to successfully fund future activities of new businesses on acceptable terms.
Added
In order for our managed companies to undertake certain future business activities, including future strategic acquisitions, we expect that our managed companies, including GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, will need to raise capital primarily through the sale of additional shares of equity securities (including, in the case of GPGI Holdings, by GPGI) or through the incurrence of debt.
Added
The timing and size of such funding cannot be readily predicted, and our managed companies may need to obtain funding on short notice in order for them and for us to fully benefit from attractive opportunities.
Added
Such funding may not be available on terms favorable or acceptable to us or at all, which could limit our managed companies’ ability to undertake these business activities, and which in turn could materially adversely impact our ability to successfully pursue our strategy of growth.
Added
We may enter into management agreements with a limited number of companies, or with companies that are concentrated in certain industries or geographic regions, which could negatively affect our performance to the extent those concentrated holdings perform poorly.
Added
We are not subject to any requirements as to the degree of diversification of the companies we manage, either by size, geographic region, asset type or sector.
Added
Although we expect to seek to manage diversified companies, to the extent the companies we manage are concentrated in a particular market, we may become more susceptible to fluctuations in value and returns resulting from adverse economic or business conditions affecting that particular market.
Added
During periods of difficult market conditions or economic slowdown in certain regions and in certain countries, the adverse effect on us could be exacerbated by a geographic or sectoral concentration of our managed companies. For us to achieve attractive returns, it might be the case that one or a few of our managed companies need to perform very well.
Added
There are no assurances that this will be the case. Our accounting is complex, and if it is erroneous or based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.
Added
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and also to apply many complex requirements and standards, some of which require significant judgment.
Added
We devote substantial resources to compliance with accounting requirements and we base our estimates on our best judgment, historical experience, information derived from third parties, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Added
However, various factors cause our accounting to become complex, including our management of the businesses of GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings.
Added
Our operating results may be adversely affected if we make accounting errors or our judgments prove to be wrong, assumptions change or actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, or if we are required to make changes in the presentation of our financial statements due to the foregoing factors or otherwise, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors or guidance we may have provided, resulting in a decline in our stock price and potential legal claims.
Added
We are a new company and have a limited operating history. We have a limited operating history upon which prospective stockholders can evaluate our performance. Further, stockholders should draw no conclusions from the prior experience of the members of our management team and should not expect to achieve similar returns.
Added
The past performance of our management team is not predictive of our performance, in particular because the structure, terms and objectives of the entities in or through which they achieved such performance may differ from ours. Any information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, David Cote and other members of our management team is presented for informational purposes only.
Added
Any past experience and performance, including related to the acquisition of interests in, and management of, companies by David Cote or other members of our management team is not a guarantee of any results with respect to our future performance.
Added
You should not rely on the historical record and performance of David Cote or other members of our management team, or the companies and other entities with which they are or have been associated, as indicative of the future performance of an investment in us or the returns we will, or are likely to, generate going forward.
Added
Our managed companies may differ in a number of respects from previous companies that our management team have managed or in which they have invested. Additionally, our management team has not previously sponsored or managed a company whose business is based on the generation of fees from the long-term management of public companies across multiple industries, sectors and geographies.
Added
Moreover, we are 9 Table of Contents subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new managed company, including the risk that we will not achieve our business objectives and that the value of our common stock could decline substantially.
Added
We and our managed companies are dependent upon our key personnel for our future success, particularly David Cote and Tom Knott. We are dependent on our key management members to carry out our business strategies, including the management of our managed companies from time to time, and the execution of our business strategy described in the section titled “Item 1.
Added
Business.” Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of our personnel, including our senior management team, particularly David Cote, our Executive Chairman, and Tom Knott, our Chief Executive Officer. The extent and nature of the experience of Mr. Cote, Mr.
Added
Knott and our other personnel and the nature of the relationships they have with external contacts, although not guarantees of positive results, are critical to the success of our business. Our personnel have significant management experience, and we cannot assure stockholders of their continued employment with us.
Added
The unplanned departure of any of our personnel could have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business strategy and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Added
Furthermore, competition for experienced management personnel could require us to pay higher compensation and provide additional benefits to retain or attract qualified personnel, which could result in higher compensation expenses for us. Additionally, our management members’ other commitments may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our management and operations of other businesses.
Added
See “ Risks Related to Our Business - Conflicts of interest with our directors, executive officers or other employees could damage our reputation and negatively impact our business .” Conflicts of interest with our directors, executive officers or other employees could damage our reputation and negatively impact our business.
Added
Our arrangements with our directors, executive officers and other employees could give rise to additional conflicts of interest. The following discussion describes certain of these actual, potential or apparent conflicts of interest and how we intend to manage them.
Added
If we are unable to successfully manage conflicts of interest relating to arrangements with our directors, executive officers and other employees, we could be subject to lawsuits or regulatory enforcement actions or we could face other adverse consequences and reputational harm, all of which could cause our performance to suffer and thus adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
Added
The following summary is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all conflicts or their potential consequences. Identifying potential conflicts of interest is complex and fact-intensive, and it is not possible to foresee every conflict of interest that will arise. Potential conflicts of interest with our directors, executive officers or other employees .
Added
Our directors, executive officers and other employees, including Mr. Cote and Mr. Knott, may engage in other business activities. This may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our management and operations of other businesses.
Added
Additionally, some of our directors, executive officers or other employees are or will be directors, executive officers, employees or direct or indirect holders of interests in CompoSecure and/or our managed companies.
Added
In addition, our directors, executive officers and other employees are not expressly prohibited from investing in or managing other entities, including those that are in the same or similar line of business as our managed companies.
Added
Our management agreements and the related obligations to provide management services will not create a mutually exclusive relationship between us, on the one hand, and our managed companies, including GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, on the other.
Added
As a result, our directors, executive officers and other employees may have duties to these other entities, which duties could conflict with the duties they owe to us and could result in action or inaction detrimental to our business.
Added
One or more committees of our Board, excluding any directors who may have an interest or involvement, will review and address, as appropriate, certain actual or perceived conflicts of interest involving, among others, our executive officers or directors, and our related person transactions policy requires the review by one or more committees of our Board, excluding any directors who may have an interest or involvement, of certain transactions involving us and our directors, executive officers, 5% or greater stockholders and other related persons as defined under the policy.
Added
Nevertheless, potential or perceived conflicts could lead to investor dissatisfaction, harm our reputation or result in litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. Interest of our directors, executive officers or other employees in our managed companies.
Added
Certain of our directors, executive officers and other employees, or their respective affiliates, directly or indirectly, currently hold and may in the future hold interests in GPGI and our managed companies, in each case that differ from your interests in such companies.
Added
While we believe that these interests help align the interests of our directors, executive officers and other employees with those of our managed companies’ 10 Table of Contents investors and provide a strong incentive to enhance the performance of our managed companies, these arrangements could also give rise to conflicts of interest.
Added
For example, pursuant to the CompoSecure Management Agreement and the Husky Management Agreement, we have the ability to waive or defer any fees payable to us by GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, respectively, and we expect to negotiate additional management agreements such that we will have the ability to waive or defer fees payable from time to time from additional managed companies under their respective management agreements, and the interests of our directors, executive officers and other employees (or their respective affiliates) in such managed companies could influence our decisions whether to waive or defer any such fees.
Added
Additionally, our directors, executive officers and other employees may from time to time receive a portion of their compensation from our managed companies, which may influence the manner in which we manage such companies.
Added
Additionally, some of our directors, executive officers or other employees (or their respective affiliates) may also have or make personal investments in entities that are not affiliated with us that may compete for the same management opportunities, which likewise could give rise to potential conflicts of interest.
Added
RISKS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS OF COMPOSECURE ​ Failure to retain existing customers or identify and attract new customers could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the CompoSecure business. The two largest customers of the CompoSecure business are JPMorgan Chase and American Express.
Added
Together, these customers represented approximately 55% and 62% of the net sales of the CompoSecure business for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The ability of the CompoSecure business to meet customers’ high-quality standards in a timely manner is critical to its business success.
Added
If the CompoSecure business is unable to provide its products and services at high quality and in a timely manner, its customer relationships may be adversely affected, which could result in the loss of customers.
Added
The ability of the CompoSecure business to maintain relationships with customers or attract new customers may be affected by several factors beyond its control, including more attractive product offerings from competitors, widespread industry disruptions (such as adverse crypto market disruptions where failures, cybersecurity incidents, fraud or regulatory actions involving other digital asset companies reduce consumer confidence in digital assets generally and thereby could reduce demand for the CompoSecure business’ Arculus products, adoption or enactment of new legislation or agency rules, and the outcomes of regulatory enforcement actions and other major litigation), pricing pressures or the financial health of these customers, many of whom operate in competitive businesses and depend on favorable macroeconomic conditions.
Added
In addition, the CompoSecure business may also be limited in the products it can offer and the pricing it can receive for such products due to restrictions present in certain of its customer contracts, which may negatively impact its ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers.
Added
If the CompoSecure business experiences difficulty retaining customers and attracting new customers, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Commercializing new products can be a lengthy and complex process. If the CompoSecure business is unable to introduce new products and services in a timely manner, its business could be materially adversely affected.
Added
The markets for the products and services of the CompoSecure business are subject to technological changes, frequent introductions of new products and services and evolving industry standards.
