Compass Diversified Takes Decisive Steps Amid Lugano Probe, Stock Dips
Compass Diversified CODI is taking decisive steps to improve liquidity and minimize costs following the discovery of irregularities in the financing, accounting and inventory practices at its subsidiary, Lugano Holding Inc. ('Lugano'). Following the news announcement, CODI shares fell 10.2% after trading hours. To strengthen financial flexibility and sharpen focus on its core portfolio, CODI entered a forbearance agreement with its lender group to maintain liquidity and support uninterrupted operations. The company reduced management fees, demonstrating a commitment to cost discipline and operational efficiency. It also temporarily suspended the quarterly cash distribution to common shareholders, preserving cash to protect long-term shareholder value. CODI has restricted further investment in Lugano and is concentrating on its eight other subsidiaries, which it believes are well-positioned for growth. Compass Diversified also addressed the status of its regulatory filings. As expected, following the delayed filing of its first-quarter 2025 Form 10-Q, CODI received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange ('NYSE') on May 20, 2025. Under NYSE rules, CODI has six months from May 19, 2025, to file Form 10-Q with the SEC and regain compliance. An extension of up to six additional months may be granted at the NYSE's discretion, though the NYSE retains the right to initiate delisting proceedings at any point during this period. CODI is continuing its efforts to finalize the internal review at Lugano, complete restatements for 2024 if needed, and submit Form 10-Q as soon as attainable. CODI's management remains confident in effectively addressing the Lugano situation while maintaining the performance of other businesses. These measures are part of a broader strategy to reduce leverage and ensure compliance with debt covenants. Elias Sabo, chief executive of Compass Diversified, informed, 'We are taking decisive action to enhance liquidity, reduce costs, and preserve value for all stakeholders.' 'We are encouraged by the support of our lenders as we take the necessary steps to reduce leverage and restore compliance with our debt covenants,' he added. Mr. Sabo further stated, 'Our structure and diversified business model give us the flexibility to help isolate and ring fence the challenges at Lugano while continuing to support the growth and execution of our healthy businesses. CODI's other eight subsidiaries continue to execute and we believe they are well positioned to grow in their respective markets. As our subsidiaries generate cash, we are focused on quickly deleveraging and ultimately maximizing value for all shareholders.' In the past six months, Compass Diversified's shares have plunged 67.4% compared with the industry's fall of 2.8%.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Compass securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Compass'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 Compass as a whole unreliable, and would require restatement; (3) Compass 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. To join the Compass class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising.
