The loss of services of one or more members of our management team or the management team at one of our businesses could materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.
Since the timing and size of acquisitions cannot be readily predicted, we may need to be able to obtain funding on short notice to benefit fully from attractive acquisition opportunities. Such funding may not be available on acceptable terms. In addition, the level of our indebtedness may impact our ability to borrow at the Company level.
Since the timing and size of acquisitions cannot be readily predicted, we may need to be able to obtain funding on short notice to benefit fully from attractive acquisition opportunities. Such funding may not be available on acceptable terms, especially in light of the Lugano Investigation.

Under the Trust Agreement, the Company’s Board will have the power to cause the Trust to be converted to a corporation in the future at its sole discretion in ways with which our shareholders may disagree.
In this regard, the Management Services Agreement and the obligation to provide management services will not create a mutually exclusive relationship between our Manager and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. 62 Our Manager need not present an acquisition or disposition opportunity to us if our Manager determines on its own that such acquisition or disposition opportunity does not meet the Company’s acquisition or disposition criteria.
In this regard, the Management Services Agreement and the obligation to provide management services will not create a mutually exclusive relationship between our Manager and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other.

There is no assurance that adverse financial conditions, including bankruptcies of our suppliers, reduced levels of production, natural disasters, staffing shortages, supply chain issues or other problems experienced by our suppliers will not result in shortages or delays in their supply of components to us.
Adverse financial conditions, including bankruptcies of our suppliers, reduced levels of production, natural disasters, staffing shortages, supply chain issues or other problems experienced by our suppliers may result in shortages or delays in their supply of components to us. Any significant production disruption could have a material impact on our operations, operating results and financial condition.
These risks individually and collectively have the potential to negatively impact our financial condition, business and results of operations. The success of our branded consumer businesses depends on our ability to maintain the value and reputation of the brand. The name of our branded consumer businesses is integral to those businesses.
The success of our branded consumer businesses depends on our ability to maintain the value and reputation of the brand and the failure to do so could reduce profits and adversely impact our financial condition. The name of our branded consumer businesses is integral to those businesses.

In addition, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our businesses’ intellectual property rights effectively or to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Stopping unauthorized use of their proprietary information and intellectual property and defending claims that they have made unauthorized use of others’ proprietary information or intellectual property, may be difficult, time-consuming and costly.
Stopping unauthorized use of their proprietary information and intellectual property and defending claims that they have made unauthorized use of others’ proprietary information or intellectual property, may be difficult, time-consuming and costly for our businesses.
Our distribution policy may be changed at any time at the discretion of the Company’s Board. Future changes to tax laws are uncertain and may result in the Trust paying corporate income tax at rates higher than expected or result in the Trust failing to realize the anticipated benefits of the Election.
Therefore, the amount of cash available for distributions to holders of Trust common shares could be reduced and their investment could be adversely affected. Future changes to tax laws are uncertain and may result in the Trust paying corporate income tax at rates higher than expected or result in the Trust failing to realize the anticipated benefits of the Election.
Therefore, we are dependent upon the ability of our businesses to generate earnings and cash flow and distribute them to us in the form of interest and principal payments on indebtedness and, from time to time, dividends on equity to enable us, first, to satisfy our financial and tax obligations and second to make distributions to our shareholders.
We are therefore dependent upon the ability of our operating subsidiaries to generate earnings and cash flow through dividends, interest and principal payments on intercompany indebtedness, and other permitted distributions, to enable us to satisfy our obligations (including debt service, taxes and management fees) and to make distributions to our shareholders.
A component of our strategy is to continue to acquire additional subsidiaries, as well as add-on acquisitions for our existing subsidiaries. Generally, because such acquisition targets are held privately, we may experience difficulty in evaluating potential target businesses as the information concerning these businesses is not publicly available.
Generally, because such acquisition targets are held privately, we may experience difficulty in evaluating potential target businesses as the information concerning these businesses is not publicly available.

The management fee paid to CGM for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $74.8 million. Going forward, the management fee will consist of a base management fee and, if specified performance measure is met under certain circumstances, an incentive management fee.
Our management fee consists of a base management fee and, if specified performance measure is met under certain circumstances, an incentive management fee.
Our businesses could experience fluctuations in the costs and availability of raw materials, components or whole goods which could result in significant disruptions to supply chains, production disruptions and increased costs for our businesses. Our businesses require access to various raw materials, components and whole goods to manufacture and distribute products.
Disruptions in our supply chain or increases in the cost or reduced availability of raw materials, components, or finished goods could materially adversely affect our businesses’ operations and profitability. Our businesses require a reliable supply of various raw materials, components and, in some cases, finished goods to manufacture and distribute their products.
The future success of our businesses also depends on their respective management teams because we operate our businesses on a stand-alone basis, primarily relying on existing management teams for management of their day-to-day operations.
The demands associated with the Lugano Investigation, the restatement process, and ongoing remediation efforts may increase turnover risk and may make it more difficult to retain and recruit qualified personnel. The future success of our businesses also depends on their respective management teams because we primarily rely on existing management teams for management of their day-to-day operations.
Removed
Another source of capital for us may be the sale of additional shares, subject to market conditions and investor demand for the shares at prices that we consider to be in the interests of our shareholders. These risks may materially adversely affect our ability to pursue our acquisition strategy successfully and our financial condition, business and results of operations.
Added
In addition to the factors affecting our specific operating segments identified in connection with the descriptions of these segments and the financial results of the operations of these operating segments elsewhere in this report, the following discussion sets forth the material risk factors we face which make an investment in us speculative or risky.
Removed
This ability may be subject to limitations under laws of the jurisdictions in which they are incorporated or organized. If, as a consequence of these various restrictions, we are unable to generate sufficient receipts from our businesses, we may not be able to declare, or may have to delay or cancel payment of, distributions to our shareholders.
Added
Risk Factors Relating to the Lugano Investigation and Restatements We have restated certain of our prior consolidated financial statements as a result of the Lugano Investigation, which resulted in unanticipated costs, litigation against Lugano and the Company and stockholder litigation against the Company, and may result in additional stockholder litigation, regulatory consequences and additional liabilities we are currently unaware of, and may adversely affect investor confidence, our stock price, our ability to raise capital in the future, and our reputation.
Removed
We do not own 100% of our businesses.
Added
As previously disclosed, following concerns reported to the Company’s management, the Company commenced the Lugano Investigation. As a result of the Lugano Investigation, the Company determined that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for fiscal years 2022, 2023, 2024, and the first three fiscal quarters of 2025 including other interim and full-year financial information should no longer be relied upon.
Removed
While we receive cash payments from our businesses which are in the form of interest payments, debt repayment and dividends, if any dividends were to be paid by our businesses, they would be shared pro rata with the minority shareholders of our businesses and the amounts of dividends made to minority shareholders would not be available to us for any purpose, including Company debt service or distributions to our shareholders.
Added
The Company corrected these errors in its 2024 Form 10K/A which was filed on December 8, 2025, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first, second, and third quarters of 2025, which were filed on December 18, 2025, December 29, 2025 and January 14, 2026 respectively.
Removed
Our financing arrangements expose us to additional risks associated with leverage, inhibit our operating flexibility and reduce earnings and cash available for distributions to our shareholders. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $1,785 million of consolidated debt outstanding.
Added
We have incurred unanticipated costs for accounting, financing and legal fees in connection with the Lugano Investigation and the restatements, including those associated with our entry into forbearance agreements, amendments, and waivers with respect to our Credit Agreement and senior note indentures due to potential defaults or events of default thereunder.
Removed
This level of consolidated debt could have important consequences, such as (i) limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund our potential growth; (ii) increasing the cost of future borrowings; (iii) limiting our ability to use operating cash flow in our other areas of our business because of cash requirements to service our debt; and (iv) increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic conditions.
Added
The restatements may erode investor confidence in our Company, our financial reporting, accounting practices and processes, and may raise reputational issues for our business.
Removed
Our financing arrangements subject the Company to certain customary affirmative and restrictive covenants. If we violate any of these covenants, our lender may accelerate the maturity of any debt outstanding under our 2022 Credit Facility.
Added
The Lugano Investigation and the restatement of our historical financial statements have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the trading price of our securities, have made it more difficult for us to comply with our debt covenants and tightened our liquidity, and may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.
Removed
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations may be affected by events beyond our control and will depend primarily upon cash produced by our businesses. Any failure to comply with the terms of our indebtedness could materially adversely affect us.
Added
In light of the Lugano Investigation and related matters, we have taken certain actions to preserve liquidity, including suspending distributions on our common shares, and our ability to access the equity capital markets, including through at-the-market equity offerings, was limited during 2025 in light of the Lugano Investigation and related events.
Removed
Changes in interest rates could materially adversely affect our profitability, ability to service debt, and our business as a whole. Our 2022 Credit Facility bears interest at floating rates which will generally change as interest rates change.
Added
In addition, the Lugano Investigation, the restatements and related material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting have resulted in litigation against Lugano and the Company, and stockholder litigation against the Company, and regulatory investigations and inquiries which may result in adverse regulatory consequences. As previously disclosed, there are ongoing investigations initiated by the SEC and the U.S.
Removed
We bear the risk that the rates we are charged by our lender will increase faster than the earnings and cash flow of our businesses, which could reduce profitability, adversely affect our ability to service our debt, cause us to breach covenants contained in our 2022 Credit Facility and reduce earnings and cash available for distribution, any of which could materially adversely affect us.
Added
Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and FINRA conducted a review of trading activity in our securities and referred the matter to the SEC for whatever actions the SEC deemed appropriate, if any.
Removed
Therefore, the amount of cash available for distributions to holders of Trust common shares could be reduced and their investment could be adversely affected. Following the Election, determinations, declarations, and payments of distributions to holders of Trust common shares will continue to be at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board.
Added
These and any future regulatory consequences, litigation, claims or disputes, whether successful or not, could subject us to additional costs or liabilities we are currently unaware of, divert the attention of our management, or impair our reputation. Each of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Removed
In addition, any general changes to tax laws, such as changes to limitations on the deductibility of interest, could result in the Trust or its shareholders paying tax at rates higher than anticipated. Risks Related to the Preferred Shares Distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares are discretionary and non-cumulative.
