Section 2 Financial Information

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the “Company”) and Compass Diversified Holdings (“Holdings” and, together with the Company, collectively “CODI,” “us” or “we”) acquires and manages small to middle market businesses in the ordinary course of its business. The following description relates to the recent divestiture of one such business.

Sterno’s Food Service Business

On March 28, 2026, the Company, in its capacity as the representative (the “Stockholder Representative”) of the holders (the “Stockholders”) of common stock of SternoCandleLamp Holdings, Inc. (“Sterno”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, and for the limited purposes of the Rimports Distribution (as defined below), entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with WCHG Buyer, Inc. (“Parent”), WCHG Heat Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Sterno, pursuant to which (i) Parent would acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Sterno (which is the parent company for both a food service business and home fragrance business) through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Sterno, with Sterno surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), and (ii) on the day immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, Sterno would cause the distribution of all the limited liability company interests of its indirect wholly owned subsidiary Rimports, LLC (“Rimports”), which is the holding company of Sterno’s home fragrance business, to the Stockholders (the “Rimports Distribution”), with Rimports remaining a majority owned subsidiary of CODI.

On April 30, 2026, the parties completed the Rimports Distribution and on May 1, 2026 completed the Merger pursuant to the Agreement. The sale price of Sterno’s food service business was based on an enterprise value of $292.5 million, subject to certain adjustments based on matters such as transaction expenses, change-of-control payments, option termination payments and the net working capital, cash and debt balances of Sterno and its subsidiaries (excluding Rimports and its subsidiaries) at the time of the closing. $2.6 million of the closing proceeds was placed in escrow for purposes of satisfying post-closing purchase price true-ups, if any, in favor of Parent. After the allocation of the sales price to Sterno’s non-controlling Stockholders and payment of transaction costs, CODI received approximately $282 million of total proceeds at closing. This amount is in respect to the Company's outstanding loans to Sterno (including accrued interest) and its equity interests in Sterno. The proceeds will be used to pay down outstanding debt under the Company’s senior credit facility. CODI expects to record a gain on the sale of Sterno’s food service business in the quarter ending June 30, 2026.

The foregoing brief description of the Agreement is not meant to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Agreement itself, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to CODI’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 30, 2026.

Section 8 Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

The foregoing description of the Press Release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Press Release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 99.1

Compass Diversified Completes Sale of Sterno’s Food Service Business

WESTPORT, Conn., May 4, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle-market businesses, today announced the completion, as of May 1, 2026, of the Company’s previously announced sale of the food service business of its majority-owned subsidiary, SternoCandleLamp Holdings, Inc. (“Sterno”), to Archer Foodservice Partners (“Archer”), a leading provider of foodservice consumables and parent entity of companies Handgards, Inno-Pak, and Fineline Settings, and a portfolio company of Wynnchurch Capital, L.P. (“Wynnchurch”).

The sale price of Sterno’s food service business was based on an enterprise value of $292.5 million, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. After these adjustments and the allocation to Sterno’s non-controlling shareholders, CODI received approximately $280 million of total proceeds from the sale at closing.

CODI plans to use net proceeds from the divestiture to repay outstanding senior secured debt, which CODI expects to reduce its senior secured net leverage ratio to below 1.0x, thereby avoiding fees, as of June 30, 2026, tied to excess leverage under its senior secured indebtedness.

“The closing of this transaction marks a meaningful step forward in our ongoing deleveraging efforts,” said Elias Sabo, Chief Executive Officer of Compass Diversified. “We moved quickly to execute this sale at a favorable valuation amidst a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. We are grateful to the Sterno team for their many contributions and believe the food service business is well positioned for its next chapter with Archer.”

Raymond James acted as financial advisor to Sterno. Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP acted as legal counsel to Sterno and CODI. Jefferies acted as financial advisor to CODI.

The sale of Sterno is further described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements include certain transaction accounting adjustments that reflect the accounting for the Sterno Disposition in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and autonomous entity adjustments that reflect certain incremental expenses necessary to present fairly our Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of and for the periods indicated.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Pro forma information is intended to reflect the impact of the Sterno Disposition on the Company's historical financial position and results of operations through adjustments that are directly attributable to the transaction, that are factually supportable and, with respect to the pro forma statements of operations, that are expected to have a continuing impact. In order to accomplish this, the Company eliminated the historical results of Sterno from the Company's historical financial position and results of operations.

The information in Note 1 provides a description of the pro forma adjustments from each line item in the pro forma condensed financial statements together with information explaining how the amounts were derived or calculated.

Note 1 - Pro Forma Adjustments

Transaction Accounting Adjustments

(a) This adjustment reflects reduction of the Company's 2022 Term Loan, with application of the estimated net cash proceeds received by the Company as equity holders, after payment to noncontrolling shareholders of approximately $7.2 million and payment of transaction costs of $6.7 million, from the Sterno Disposition.

(in thousands) As of December 31, 2025

Expected net proceeds received $ 256,020

Repayment of 2022 Term Loan (256,020)

Total pro forma adjustment to long-term debt $ (256,020)

(b) This adjustment reflects the estimated gain on the Sterno Disposition as if the sale had occurred on December 31, 2025 and includes the estimated potential income tax effect. This gain may not be representative of what will actually be recorded during the year ended December 31, 2026, and the estimated tax effect has been calculated based on the sale of Sterno as a discrete item and does not consider the effect of other income tax items during the current year.

(in thousands) December 31, 2025

Gain on sale - Sterno $ 78,837

Income tax expense - gain on sale (19,236)

Total pro forma adjustment to reflecting gain on sale of Sterno $ 58,225

The following pro forma adjustment reflects the effect of the Sterno Contribution Based Profit from a Holding Event that is reflected as an adjustment to the calculation of earnings per share:
