NEW YORK, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Compass Diversified ('Compass' or the 'Company') (NYSE: CODI) and reminds investors of the July 8, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the Company's subsidiary, Lugano Holdings, Inc., maintained unrecorded financing arrangements and irregularities in its sales, cost of sales, inventory, and accounts receivable; (2) the irregularities and undisclosed details in Lugano Holdings, Inc.'s financial statements rendered the financial statements of the Company as a whole unreliable, and would require restatement; (3) the Company failed to maintain adequate internal controls related to its financial statements; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
On May 7, 2025, after the market closed, the Company disclosed that its financial statements for fiscal year 2024 should no longer be relied upon in response to an ongoing internal investigation into the Company's subsidiary, Lugano Holding, Inc. The Company revealed that the investigation 'has preliminarily identified irregularities in Lugano's non-CODI financing, accounting, and inventory practices' and that '[e]ffective May 7, 2025, Lugano's founder and CEO, Moti Ferder, resigned from all of his positions at Lugano and will not receive any severance compensation.'
On this news, Compass Diversified stock price fell 8% during after-hours trading on May 7, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Compass' conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

‘Sit down' and get a trade deal: OECD chief economist
PARIS: As President Donald Trump's trade war weighs on the global economy, the 'best option' is for countries to negotiate and get a deal done, the OECD's chief economist told AFP. The fallout from Trump's tariff onslaught prompted the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to paint a gloomy picture in its economic outlook published on Tuesday. The OECD cuts its global growth forecast to 2.9 percent for this year and 2026, down from 3.3 percent last year. The Paris-based organisation had previously forecast 3.1 percent growth for this year. 'We basically downgraded almost every single economy of the world,' OECD chief economist Alvaro Pereira said in an interview. 'It doesn't matter if you're a G20 country, if you're a small country, small or non-G20,' he said. He said trade, consumption and investment had been affected by the tariffs. The OECD, a 38-nation grouping of mostly developed countries, is holding a ministerial meeting in Paris on Tuesday and Wednesday. US and EU trade negotiators are expected to meet on the sidelines of the gathering, while the Group of Seven advanced economies is due to hold separate talks on trade. Trump hit imports from almost every countries in the world with a 10 percent baseline tariff in April, plus 25 percent duties on the steel, aluminium and car sectors. He also unveiled steeper tariffs on dozens of countries but has paused them until July to give space for negotiations. Pereira warned that the world economy could suffer more if countries retaliated against the US tariffs. 'For everyone, including United States, the best option is that countries sit down and get an agreement,' Pereira said. 'We think that keeping markets open, decreasing trade barriers, it's going to be absolutely essential,' he said, adding that everyone would be 'better off'. - 'Less positive' for US - While Trump believes his trade war will boost the US economy, the OECD slashed its forecast for US growth to 1.6 percent -- down from 2.2 percent in its previous outlook and the biggest revision among wealthy nations. 'Of course, the United States is the country that is going to have biggest repercussions in terms of not only growth impacts from tariffs, but also on inflationary pressures,' said Pereira, a former Portuguese economy minister. 'All this trade uncertainty and policy uncertainty is having an impact on consumer confidence in the United States coming down and business confidence,' he said. 'So this is why we are less positive about the United States.'

SIMPLY SOLVENTLESS FILES 2024 ANNUAL FINANCIALS AND PROVIDES UPDATES ON TIMING OF FILING Q1 2025 FINANCIALS AND MANAGEMENT CEASE TRADE ORDER
/Not for distribution to U.S. news wire services or for dissemination in the United States./ CALGARY, AB, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ – Simply Solventless Concentrates Ltd. (TSXV: HASH) ('SSC') announces that it has filed its annual audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 ('Annual Financials') on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at SSC also announces that due to delays incurred with filing these annual financial statements, the Company anticipates filing its first quarter results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 on or before June 20, 2025 pursuant to an extension from the Alberta Securities Commission (the 'ASC'), the Company's principal regulator, of its previously announced management cease trade order ('MCTO') under National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders ('NP 12-203') initially approved on May 5, 2025, and subsequently updated by SSC through press releases issued on April 30, 2025, May 14, 2025, and May 20, 2025. 2024 Highlights SSC achieved major milestones during 2024, including: SSC completed three acquisitions, including 1) the Lamplighter brand, 2) licenced producer CannMart Inc., and 3) leading preroll co-manufacturer ANC Inc. These three acquisitions buttressed SSC's infrastructure significantly, which is now comprised of strong extraction, formulation, prerolling, and cultivation abilities, providing a solid foundation for future growth. SSC closed two over subscribed non-brokered financings for total gross proceeds of $4.7 million, and $7.8 million was raised from the exercise of warrants. SSC significantly strengthened its team, which is now comprised of talented professionals across all disciplines. SSC's ability to attract top talent is stronger now than ever. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, SSC closed the acquisition of Delta 9 Bio-Tech and re-branded the operation to Humble Grow Co. ('Humble'), a licensed producer operating a 100,000 square foot cultivation facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and concurrently closed a non-brokered $6.0 million over subscribed convertible debenture offering. The acquisition of Humble vertically integrated SSC's operations upstream to include cultivation in a market where the demand for cannabis flower appears to be transitioning back into expansion mode. 2024 was a transformative year for SSC, and with a portfolio of assets providing manufacturing capability across the largest product categories, and the proven ability to close accretive acquisitions in a distressed market and industry, and to attract top talent, the Company is positioned for significant growth through 2025. 2024 Financial Highlights 2024 Gross Revenue: the Company generated gross revenue of $20,498,204 (2023 – $6,973,401), increase of 194% over the prior year. 2024 Net Revenue: the Company generated net revenue of $13,679,144 (2023 – $6,191,646), increase of 121% over the prior year. 2024 Gross Profit ($): the Company generated a gross profit of $1,181,189 (2023 – $3,497,279), a decrease of 66% over the prior year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA: the Company generated an adjusted EBITDA loss of $3,803,445 (2023 – $2,246,926), a decrease of 269% over prior period December 31, 2024 Working Capital: $1,626,131 (2023 – $3,693,879), a decrease of 56% over the prior year. SSC's gross revenue increased by approximately 194% from $7.0 million in 2023 to $20.5 million in 2024 due to its aggressive organic and acquisition based growth. During 2024, SSC's total assets increased 278% from $10.2 million at December 31, 2023 to $38.6 million at December 31, 2024. This increase in assets is primarily due to SSC closing several high-impact acquisitions during 2024. Subsequent to the year end, further substantial assets were added through the Humble acquisition that closed on February 28, 2025 (refer to Note 24 – Subsequent Events in the Annual Financial for further details.) Jeff Swainson, SSC's President & CEO stated: 'All things being equal, it is SSC's view that the non-cash changes to accounting treatment will positively impact future revenue, profitability, and cash flow. Gross margins remain strong, and the size and capability of our asset base improved significantly during 2024. We look forward to filing our Q1 2025 financial statements as soon as possible, and as we proceed through 2025, we are focused intently on maximizing cash flow from operations and on strengthening our balance sheet. We believe that SSC's positioning today is stronger than ever before, and that the continued execution of our highly impactful business plan is capable of delivering strong value to shareholders.' Q1 2025 Financials As announced on April 30, 2025, and further discussed in news releases dated May 14, 2025, and May 20, 2025, a MCTO was issued by the Company's principal regulator, the ASC on May 5, 2025 to accommodate additional time required to file the Company's Annual Financials. The ASC has approved a further extension of the MCTO to June 20, 2025 to provide the Company with adequate time to prepare the Q1, 2025 financial results due to the delays incurred in filing the Annual Financials. Pursuant to the MCTO, management of the Company may not trade in securities of the Company until such time as the Company files the March 31, 2025 financial statements and the MCTO is revoked. The MCTO does not affect the ability of other shareholders of the Company to trade in securities of the Company. The Company confirms that it will satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines under NP 12-203 by issuing biweekly default status reports in the form of news releases for so long as it remains in default of the above-noted filing requirements. The Company confirms that (a) there have been no failures by the Company to fulfill its stated intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative reporting guidelines under NP 12-203; (b) there has not been, nor is there anticipated to be, any specified default subsequent to the default which is the subject of the default announcement; and (c) there is no other material information concerning the affairs of the Company that has not been generally disclosed.
