Introduction

This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (“Schedule TO”) is filed by CompoSecure, Inc. (“Parent”) and CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C. (the “Company”) with respect to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right (as defined below) of each holder of the Company’s 7.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) pursuant to Section 15.01(c) of the Indenture, dated as of December 27, 2021 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, Parent and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Notes were issued to a limited number of “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A) in a private placement transaction under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

A Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) occurred effective September 19, 2024 as a result of the completion of the previously announced transactions pursuant to which, among other things, Resolute Compo Holdings LLC acquired from certain selling stockholders a number of shares of Parent’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), constituting a majority of the voting power of Parent’s Common Equity.

This Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the disclosure requirements of Rules 13e-4(c)(2) and 13e-4(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All of the information set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined below) is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 13, except those items to which information is specifically provided herein. All capitalized terms used, but not specifically defined in, this Schedule TO shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Notice of Exchange.

Items 1 through 9, and Item 11.

As required by the Indenture, this Schedule TO is being filed by Parent and the Company with respect to the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) of each holder of the Notes to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on November 29, 2024 (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as described in the Fundamental Change Company Notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”), dated October 9, 2024 filed as Exhibit (a)(1) hereto, and the Indenture.

Item 10. Financial Statements.

The Company and Parent believe that their respective financial conditions are not material to the decision of a holder of Notes whether to exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right because (i) the consideration being offered to such holders consists solely of cash, (ii) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right is not subject to any financing condition and (iii) the offer applies to all outstanding Notes. Parent’s Class A Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CMPO” and files periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which can be obtained at www.sec.gov.

FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE COMPANY NOTICE

COMPOSECURE HOLDINGS, L.L.C.

7.00% EXCHANGEABLE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2026

CUSIP Number 20459XAA9*
ISIN Number ISIN No. US20459XAA90*

Date of Notice: October 9, 2024

This Fundamental Change Company Notice (the “Notice”) is provided by CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C. (the “Company”) pursuant to Section 15.01(c) of the Indenture, dated as of December 27, 2021 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, CompoSecure, Inc. (“Parent”) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”) relating to the Company’s 7.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). Capitalized terms used in this notice, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meanings given to such terms in the Indenture.

The Fundamental Change provisions of the Indenture provide a choice for the holder of each Note outstanding (each, a “Holder”) to:

exchange the Notes for shares of Class A Common Stock, which trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CMPO” with a closing price of $14.14 as of October 8, 2024, at a temporarily increased Exchange Rate of 104.5199 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes until the close of business (5:00 p.m. New York City time) on November 27, 2024 and, thereafter at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at the existing exchange rate of 91.0972 (assuming no further adjustments to the Exchange Rate pursuant to the Indenture and as further described below under “Exchange Rights”);

require the Company to repurchase (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on November 29, 2024 (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as further described below under “Repurchase Option”); or

continue to hold the Notes.

* The CUSIP number is included solely for the convenience of the holders of Notes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be responsible for the selection or use of the CUSIP number, nor is any representation made as to its correctness with respect to the Notes or as indicated in this Notice.

REPURCHASE OPTION

Pursuant to Section 15.01 of the Indenture, as a result of the Fundamental Change, each Holder shall, subject to certain conditions, have the right, by giving notice in compliance with DTC’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes as stated herein, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”).

Payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will be made in cash by the Paying Agent, from funds deposited with it by or on behalf of the Company, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date upon book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with DTC’s procedures as set forth below under “Manner of Repurchase”. On the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will become due and payable on the portion of Notes submitted to the Company for repurchase, interest will cease to accrue on the portion of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, such Notes being repurchased will cease to be outstanding, and all other rights of the Holders with respect to such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price), unless the Company defaults in making payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. If a Holder does not exercise its right to require the Company to repurchase all Notes owned by such Holder, then after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and upon surrender of the Notes as to which such right has been exercised, a new Note or Notes in principal amount at issuance equal to the portion of the Notes not submitted to the Company for repurchase shall be issued (or transferred by book-entry) upon cancellation of the original Notes.

Holders who deliver their Notes and a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (as defined below) to the Trustee and Paying Agent in compliance with DTC’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes (as further described under “Manner Of Repurchase” below) and do not properly and validly withdraw such notice prior to the Withdrawal Date identified below are making an election to require the Company to repurchase all such Notes, and will not have the opportunity to exchange such Notes, including at the temporarily increased Exchange Rate of 104.5199 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes due to the occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. See “Exchange Rights” below.

Each of the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates, including managers, executive officers and directors, is prohibited under applicable United States federal securities laws from purchasing Notes (or the right to purchase Notes), other than through the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or a call or redemption of the Notes in accordance with their terms and conditions, from the date of this Notice until at least the tenth business day after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Following such time, if any Notes remain outstanding, the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates may purchase Notes in the open market, in private transactions, through a subsequent tender offer or otherwise, any of which may be consummated at repurchase prices higher or lower than the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Any decision to purchase Notes after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, if any, will depend upon many factors, including the market price of the Notes, the amount of Notes validly delivered for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the business and financial position of Parent and general economic and market conditions.

Holders of Notes should consider the following important deadlines in connection with this Notice:

Date	Calendar Date and Time	Event

Fundamental Change Expiration Date	Close of business (5:00 p.m. New York City time), on November 27, 2024	The last day upon which a Holder may elect to require the Company to repurchase its Notes.

Withdrawal Date	Close of business (5:00 p.m. New York City time), on November 27, 2024	The last day upon which a Holder may validly withdraw its election to require the Company to repurchase its Notes.

Fundamental Change Repurchase Date

November 29, 2024

The Company accepts all elections to require the repurchase of Notes validly delivered prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn. The Company notifies the Paying Agent that such elections and delivered Notes are accepted for repurchase and payment.

The Company deposits with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay each electing and delivering Holder the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

The Paying Agent pays each electing Holder who has delivered the Notes prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 27, 2024 the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in cash for all of the Notes properly and validly delivered (and not validly withdrawn) by such Holder.

The Company reserves the right to modify any of the dates above, subject to the terms of the Indenture and applicable law.

None of the Company, Parent, Trustee, Paying Agent or Exchange Agent make any recommendation as to whether Holders should elect to exchange, require the Company to repurchase, or continue to hold their Notes.

Manner Of Repurchase

All Notes are currently Global Notes. If you are the owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and you elect to submit your Notes for repurchase, you must, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 27, 2024:

(i)

complete the appropriate instruction form pursuant to DTC’s book-entry program,

(ii)           deliver through DTC’s book-entry system your beneficial interest, together with an agent’s message transmitted by DTC to the Paying Agent, and

(iii)

follow any other required directions as instructed by DTC.

The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the Paying Agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant submitting the Notes for repurchase, which acknowledgment states that such participant has received and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Notice.

Each beneficial owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes that has properly and validly delivered such beneficial interest and agent’s message for repurchase through DTC, and not validly withdrawn such delivery prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 27, 2024, will receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price through the facilities of DTC on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (November 29, 2024), provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions of the Indenture and subject to postponement to comply with changes in applicable law after the date of the Indenture.

Delivery by any owner of a beneficial interest in the Notes, together with an agent’s message through the facilities of DTC prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 27, 2024, is a condition to the receipt by such beneficial owner of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Notes on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

The Paying Agent will promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any notice from a Holder to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”).

Notice Of Withdrawal

Any Holder of Notes who has given a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, in whole or in part, by complying with the transmittal procedures of DTC for submitting a notice of withdrawal which must be received by the Paying Agent prior to the Withdrawal Date (5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 27, 2024) (a “Withdrawal Notice”).

The Paying Agent will promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Withdrawal Notice.

EXCHANGE RIGHTS

Holders who do not elect to require the Company to repurchase their Notes will maintain the right to exchange their Notes on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 15, 2026, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Indenture.

Contemporaneous with the Fundamental Change, a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurred effective September 19, 2024. As a result, and as the Company previously informed Holders on September 20, 2024, the Exchange Rate for the Notes has been increased temporarily in accordance with Section 14.03(a) of the Indenture. Effective as of September 19, 2024, the Exchange Rate for Notes properly surrendered for exchange in accordance with the terms of the Indenture was increased from 91.0972 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes to 104.5199 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. THIS INCREASE IS TEMPORARY. In order to receive shares of Class A Common Stock at the temporarily increased Exchange Rate upon exchange of some or all of a Holder’s Notes, such Holder must exchange such Notes on an Exchange Date up to and including the close of business (5:00 p.m. New York City time) on November 27, 2024. After such time, the Exchange Rate will automatically revert to 91.0972 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 of Notes.

Holders who deliver their Notes and a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in compliance with DTC’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes (as further described under “Manner Of Repurchase” above) to the Trustee and Paying Agent and do not properly and validly withdraw such notice prior to the Withdrawal Date are making an election to require the Company to repurchase all such Notes, and will not have the opportunity to exchange such Notes, including at the temporarily increased Exchange Rate described above due to the occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Delivery of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, Withdrawal Notice, Notice of Exchange and all other required documents to an address other than as set forth above does not constitute valid delivery. Delivery of documents to DTC, the Trustee or the Company does not constitute delivery to the Paying Agent or the Exchange Agent. The method of delivery of all documents is at the risk of the Holder.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this Notice and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized. This Notice does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Notes in any circumstances or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The delivery of this Notice shall not under any circumstances create any implication that the information contained in this Notice is current as of any time subsequent to the date of such information. Neither the Company nor any of its respective affiliates, or any of its or their respective boards of managers or directors, employees, advisors or representatives, or U.S. Bank National Association, in its role as Trustee, Paying Agent and Exchange Agent, is making any representation or recommendation to any holder as to whether or not to surrender or exchange (if at all) such holder’s Notes. You should consult your own financial and tax advisors and must make your own decision as to whether or not to surrender your Notes for repurchase or to exercise your exchange rights and, if you choose to exercise either of these rights, the amount of Notes to surrender or exchange.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING

Under U.S. federal income tax law, the Paying Agent may be required to withhold a portion of your payment as backup withholding. To avoid such backup withholding, a Holder that is a “U.S. person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) for U.S. federal income tax purposes is required to (a) provide the Paying Agent with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9, a copy of which is attached as Schedule A hereto, and to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such number is correct and that such Holder is not subject to backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax or (b) otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. Failure to provide the information on IRS Form W-9 may subject the Holder to backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 24%), and such Holder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the IRS. See IRS Form W-9 and the instructions thereto for additional information.

Certain Holders (including, among others, corporations) may not be subject to backup withholding. Exempt Holders that are United States persons should furnish their TIN, check the appropriate box on the IRS Form W-9 and sign, date and return the IRS Form W-9 to the Paying Agent in order to avoid backup withholding. A Holder that is not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) may qualify as an exempt recipient (a) by providing the Paying Agent with a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or other appropriate IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such Holder’s foreign status or (b) by otherwise establishing an exemption. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the IRS website (www.irs.gov).

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may be obtained from the IRS if eligibility is established and appropriate procedure is followed.

GENERAL

A copy of this Notice is being sent to all holders of record of the Notes as of October 9, 2024.

SCHEDULE B – SUMMARY TERM SHEET

The following summary term sheet takes the form of answers to some of the questions that you may have about the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) of each holder (“Holder”) of the 7.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to require the Company (as defined below) to purchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal thereof that is an integral amount of $1,000 principal amount, subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture (as defined below), the Notes and the Fundamental Change Company Notice to which this Schedule B is attached (together with the schedules, the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) and related notice materials, as amended and supplemented from time to time. To understand the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right fully and for a more complete description of the terms of the Fundamental Change Repurchase right, we urge you to read carefully the remainder of the Fundamental Change Company Notice because the information in this summary is not complete and the remainder of the Fundamental Change Company Notice contains additional important information. We have included page references to direct you to a more detailed description of the topics in this summary. Unless stated to the contrary or unless the context otherwise requires, references to “the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” in the Fundamental Change Company Notice include CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C. Capitalized terms used herein without definitions shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture (as defined below).

Who is offering to repurchase my Notes?

CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CompoSecure, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”).

Why is the Company offering to repurchase my Notes?

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, upon a Fundamental Change, each Holder has the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash such Holder’s Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, on November 29, 2024 (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”). The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price to be paid by the Company for Notes validly surrendered and not validly withdrawn is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”).

A Fundamental Change occurred effective September 19, 2024 as a result of the completion of the previously announced transactions pursuant to which, among other things, Resolute Compo Holdings LLC acquired from certain selling stockholders a number of shares of Parent’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), constituting a majority of the voting power of Parent’s Common Equity (the “Transaction”).

Which Notes is the Company obligated to repurchase?

We are obligated to repurchase all of the Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000, validly surrendered pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, at the option of the Holder, and not validly withdrawn. As of October 8, 2024, there was $130,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. (See “Section 2 – Information Concerning the Notes” in Schedule C).

How much will the Company pay and what is the form of payment?

Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the Company will pay, in cash, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, which is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, with respect to any and all Notes properly and validly delivered in compliance with DTC’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is based solely on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes and bears no relationship to the market price of the Notes or the value of the Class A Common Stock for which the Notes are exchangeable. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is not an Interest Payment Date under the terms of the Indenture. Accordingly, interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be paid to the Holders surrendering the Notes for repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. We expect that there will be accrued and unpaid interest due as part of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to approximately $32.08 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes delivered for repurchase. Accordingly, the amount payable on the Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, will be approximately $1,032.08 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn.

B-1

How will the Company fund the repurchase of the Notes?

The total amount of funds required to repurchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right (assuming all Notes are validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn) is approximately $134,170,833.33. The Company expects to fund the repurchase from a combination of available cash on hand and cash to be drawn under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The repurchase of the Notes is not conditioned upon obtaining any financing or the funding thereof. (See “Section 5 – Payment for Surrendered Notes; Source and Amount of Funds” in Schedule C).

How can I determine the market value of the Notes?

There is no established market for trading in the Notes, except for limited and sporadic quotations. To the extent that the Notes are traded, prices of the Notes may fluctuate depending on trading volume, the balance between buy and sell order, prevailing interest rates and the market for similar securities. To the extent available, you are urged to obtain current market quotations for the Notes prior to making any decision with respect to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right. On October 8, 2024, the last reported sale price of the Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market was $14.14. (See “Section 2.4 – Market for the Notes and Shares of Class A Common Stock” in Schedule C).

Are my Notes currently exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock?

Yes. Holders who do not elect to require the Company to repurchase their Notes will maintain the right to exchange their Notes on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding December 15, 2026, subject to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Indenture.

How many shares of Class A Common Stock will I receive if I exchange my Notes?

Contemporaneous with the Fundamental Change, a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurred effective September 19, 2024. As a result, the Exchange Rate for the Notes has been increased temporarily in accordance with Section 14.03(a) of the Indenture. Effective as of September 19, 2024, the Exchange Rate for Notes properly surrendered for exchange in accordance with the terms of the Indenture was increased from 91.0972 to 104.5199 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In order to receive shares of Class A Common Stock at the temporarily increased Exchange Rate upon exchange of some or all of a Holder’s Notes, such Holder must exchange such Notes on an Exchange Date up to and including the close of business (5:00 p.m. New York City time) on November 27, 2024. After such time, the Exchange Rate will automatically, and without further notice to Holders, revert to 91.0972 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 of Notes.

Each of the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates, including managers, executive officers and directors, is prohibited under applicable United States federal securities laws from purchasing Notes (or the right to purchase Notes), other than through the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or a call or redemption of the Notes in accordance with their terms and conditions, from the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice until at least the tenth business day after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Following such time, if any Notes remain outstanding, the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates may purchase Notes in the open market, in private transactions, through a subsequent tender offer or otherwise, any of which may be consummated at repurchase prices higher or lower than the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Any decision to purchase Notes after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, if any, will depend upon many factors, including the market price of the Notes, the amount of Notes validly delivered for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the business and financial position of Parent and general economic and market conditions.

B-2

What is the relationship between the offer to repurchase and the exchangeability of the Notes?

The right to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right is a separate right from the right to exchange the Notes. If you exercise your Fundamental Change Repurchase Right with respect to any Notes, you will not be able to exchange such Notes unless you validly withdraw your notice to exercise your Fundamental Change Repurchase Right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 27, 2024. If you do not exercise your Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, your right to exchange your Notes will not be affected. If you have exercised your right to exchange your Notes, you may not deliver such Notes under the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.

What do the Company and Parent think of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the exchange right?

The Company and Parent have not made any recommendation as to whether you should deliver your Notes for repurchase under the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or whether you should exercise your right to exchange your Notes. You must make your own decision as to whether or not to deliver your Notes for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or to exercise your right to exchange your Notes and, if you choose to exercise either of these rights, the amount of Notes to deliver for repurchase or exchange. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, our offer to repurchase the Notes pursuant thereto and your exchange rights, each as described in the Fundamental Change Company Notice, are based on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes.

When does the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right expire?

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Right expires at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on November 27, 2024 (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Date”). We reserve the right, but do not intend, to extend the period that Holders have to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, subject to the terms of the Indenture and applicable law.

What are the conditions to the repurchase by the Company of the Notes?

The repurchase by us of the Notes that are validly surrendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date is not subject to any condition other than such repurchase being lawful and the satisfaction of the procedural requirements described in the Fundamental Change Company Notice.

How do I deliver my Notes for repurchase?

To deliver your Notes for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, you must, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date (i) complete the appropriate instruction form pursuant to The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) book-entry program, (ii) deliver through DTC’s book-entry system your beneficial interest, together with an agent’s message transmitted by DTC to the Paying Agent, and (iii) follow any other required directions as instructed by DTC (including the terms and procedures of the ATOP (as defined below), the “Applicable Procedures”).

Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to exercise its Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and instruct such nominee to deliver the Notes on such Holder’s behalf in compliance with the Applicable Procedures on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

Holders who are DTC participants should deliver their Notes to the Paying Agent electronically through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”), subject to the terms and procedures of that system, on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

B-3

You bear the risk of delivering your Notes for repurchase. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the Applicable Procedures on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date, after which time you will not be able to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.

By delivering, or instructing your nominee to deliver, Notes for repurchase in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, you agree to be bound by the terms of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice.

If I deliver my Notes for repurchase, when will I receive payment for my Notes?

We will accept for payment all validly delivered Notes that have not been validly withdrawn, prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Date. Not later than the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, we will deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Paying Agent will promptly make payment of such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to DTC. DTC will thereafter distribute the cash to DTC participants in accordance with its procedures.

Can I withdraw Notes previously surrendered for repurchase?

Yes. To withdraw Notes previously delivered for repurchase, you (or your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee) must comply with the withdrawal procedures of DTC in sufficient time to allow DTC to withdraw your Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

You bear the risk of untimely withdrawal of previously delivered Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the DTC procedures prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

If I choose to deliver any of my Notes for repurchase, do I have to deliver all of my Notes?

No. You may deliver all of your Notes, a portion of your Notes, or none of your Notes for repurchase. If you wish to deliver a portion of your Notes for repurchase, however, you must deliver Notes in a principal amount of $1,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00.

If I want to exchange my Notes, what should I do?

If you want to exchange your Notes, you must comply with the applicable procedures for exchanging a beneficial interest in a Global Note.

Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to exercise its exchange right and instruct such nominee to deliver its Notes in compliance with the applicable procedures of DTC and the Exchange Agent with respect to exchanges of Notes.

If I have already elected to exercise my Fundamental Change Repurchase Right can I still exchange my Notes?

If you have already exercised your Fundamental Change Repurchase Right by delivering your Notes for repurchase you will not be able to convert such Notes unless you validly withdraw such Notes delivered for repurchase prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date. You bear the risk for untimely withdrawal of Notes delivered for repurchase.

B-4

Do I need to do anything if I do not wish to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right?

No. If you do not deliver your Notes before the expiration of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, we will not repurchase your Notes and such Notes will remain outstanding and will continue to be subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes.

If I do not surrender my Notes for repurchase will I continue to be able to exercise my exchange rights?

Yes, subject to the provisions of the Indenture. You may exercise your conversion rights until the Notes mature on December 15, 2026.

What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences if I deliver my notes for repurchase?

A Holder’s receipt of cash in exchange for Notes pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right generally will be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. (See “Section 11 – Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in Schedule C).

Who is the Paying Agent?

U.S. Bank National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, is serving as the Paying Agent and Exchange Agent in connection with the Holders’ Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and exchange rights. Addresses are set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice.

The Company’s telephone number at that location is (908) 518-0500 and Parent’s telephone number at that location is (908) 518-0500.

Additional Information regarding Parent is contained in Parent’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). See “Section 12 – Additional Information.”

1.2 The Transaction. Pursuant to the terms of those certain stock purchase agreements between each of the Class B Stockholders of Parent and Resolute, Resolute acquired from certain selling stockholders a number of shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock constituting a majority of the voting power of Parent’s Common Equity. As a result of the Transaction, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, a Fundamental Change with respect to the Company occurred on September 19, 2024 and, accordingly, each Holder has the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right described herein.

2. Information Concerning the Notes. On December 27, 2021, the Notes were issued under the Indenture. Cash interest accrues on the Notes at the rate of 7.00% per annum on the principal amount and is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Notes mature on December 15, 2026. As of October 8, 2024, there was $130,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding.

C-1

2.1. The Company’s Obligation to Repurchase the Notes. The Transaction constituted a Fundamental Change pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Indenture. In the event of a Fundamental Change at any time prior to the maturity of the Notes, the Indenture obligates the Company to repurchase all Notes validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn, at the Holder’s option, on the terms set forth in the Indenture. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Right will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date. The Company reserves the right, but does not intend, to extend the period that Holders have to exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, subject to the terms of the Indenture and applicable law. The Company’s purchase of outstanding Notes validly delivered and not validly withdrawn is not subject to any condition other than that the purchase be lawful and the procedural requirements described in the Fundamental Change Company Notice be satisfied. There are no financing conditions in connection with the Company’s obligation to consummate the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right. As of the date hereof, all Notes are Global Notes held through DTC and there are no certificated Notes in non-global form. Holders may exercise their Fundamental Change Repurchase Right by delivering an interest in the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, all Notes delivered for repurchase hereunder must be delivered in compliance with the Applicable Procedures. See “Section 3 – Procedures to be Followed by Holders Electing to Deliver Notes for Repurchase” for further information on how to deliver your Notes for repurchase.

2.2. Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, the Company will pay, in cash, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, which is equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, with respect to any and all Notes properly and validly delivered in compliance with DTC’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is based solely on the requirements of the Indenture and the Notes and bears no relationship to the market price of the Notes or the value of the Class A Common Stock for which the Notes are exchangeable. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is not an Interest Payment Date under the terms of the Indenture. Accordingly, interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be paid to the Holders surrendering the Notes for repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. We expect that there will be accrued and unpaid interest due as part of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to approximately $32.08 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes delivered for repurchase. Accordingly, the amount payable on the Notes, including accrued and unpaid interest, will be approximately $1,032.08 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn. We will pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in cash with respect to any and all Notes validly delivered for purchase and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Notes will be accepted for repurchase only in principal amounts equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Delivery of the Notes in accordance with the Applicable Procedures is a condition to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price to the Holder of such Notes.

None of the Company or Parent or any of their respective affiliates, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Exchange Agent is making any representation or recommendation to any Holder as to whether to deliver or refrain from delivering Notes for repurchase, or to exercise the exchange rights, pursuant to the Fundamental Change Company Notice. Each Holder must make such Holder’s own decision as to whether or not to surrender Notes for repurchase or to exercise the exchange rights and, if you choose to exercise either of these rights, the amount of Notes to deliver for repurchase or exchange, based on such Holder’s assessment of the current market value of the Notes and other relevant factors.

2.3. Exchange Rights of the Holders. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, each Holder has the right to exchange the Notes for shares of Parent’s Class A Common Stock, which trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CMPO” with a closing price of $14.14 as of October 8, 2024, at a temporarily increased Exchange Rate of 104.5199 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on November 27, 2024 (the “Additional Shares Period”) and, thereafter at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at the existing exchange rate of 91.0972. In the event a Holder would be entitled to receive fractional shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company will pay such Holder cash in lieu of such fractional shares. Upon exchange of any Notes, a Holder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest.

C-2

If you want to exchange your Notes during the Additional Shares Period or thereafter, you must comply with the Applicable Procedures for exchanging a beneficial interest in a Global Note.

Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to exercise its exchange right during the Additional Shares Period and instruct such nominee to deliver the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 27, 2024.

Timely delivery of the Notes in compliance with the Applicable Procedures is the responsibility of the Holder.

The Exchange Date will be the date on which you have satisfied all of the foregoing requirements (the “Exchange Date”).

If you exercise your Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, you will not be able to convert such Notes unless you validly withdraw such Notes delivered for repurchase prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date. Holders bear the risk for untimely withdrawal of Notes surrendered for repurchase.

U.S. Bank National Association is acting as Exchange Agent in connection with the exchange rights described herein. Please direct any questions or requests for assistance in connection with the delivery of Notes for exchange to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice.

Examples of Your Consideration Alternatives

YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE EITHER THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE REPURCHASE RIGHT OR THE EXCHANGE RIGHT DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND YOU MAY CHOOSE TO TAKE NO ACTION AND RETAIN YOUR NOTES.

Assuming you hold Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000.00:

Fundamental Change Repurchase Right: If you exercise the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the Notes are repurchased for the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, you will receive $1,000.00 plus a sum equal to accrued but unpaid interest on your Notes to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, for a total consideration of approximately $1,032.08, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes assuming a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date of November 29, 2024.

Exchange During the Additional Shares Period: If you exercise the exchange right and the Notes are exchanged during the Additional Shares Period, you would be entitled to receive 104 whole shares of Class A Common Stock and cash in lieu of 0.5199 fractional shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Assuming, for illustrative purposes only, a price of $14.14 per share, which was the last reported sale price of the shares of Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on October 8, 2024, the estimated value that you would receive in exchange for $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be approximately $1,477.91.

Exchange After the Additional Shares Period: If you exercise the exchange right and the Notes are exchanged after the Additional Shares Period, you would be entitled to receive 91 whole shares of Class A Common Stock and cash in lieu of 0.0972 fractional shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Assuming, for illustrative purposes only, a price of $14.14 per share, which was the last reported sale price of the shares of Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on October 8, 2024, the estimated value that you would receive in exchange for $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes would be approximately $1,288.11.

C-3

The rights of Holders to exchange their Notes is separate from the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right. The value that you would receive if you exchanged your Notes during the Additional Shares Period may be greater than the value you would receive if you validly exercised the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and may vary depending on the market value of the shares of Class A Common Stock. You should review the Fundamental Change Company Notice carefully and consult with your own financial and tax advisors. You must make your own decisions as to whether or not to deliver your Notes for repurchase or to exercise your exchange right and, if you choose to exercise either of these rights, the amount of Notes to deliver for repurchase or exchange. None of the Company or Parent or any of their respective affiliates, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Exchange Agent is making any representation or recommendation to any Holder as to whether or not to deliver for repurchase or exchange (if at all) such Holder’s Notes.

Each of the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates, including managers, executive officers and directors, is prohibited under applicable United States federal securities laws from purchasing Notes (or the right to purchase Notes), other than through the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or a call or redemption of the Notes in accordance with their terms and conditions, from the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice until at least the tenth business day after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Following such time, if any Notes remain outstanding, the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates may purchase Notes in the open market, in private transactions, through a subsequent tender offer or otherwise, any of which may be consummated at repurchase prices higher or lower than the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Any decision to purchase Notes after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, if any, will depend upon many factors, including the market price of the Notes, the amount of Notes validly delivered for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the business and financial position of Parent and general economic and market conditions.

2.4. Market for the Notes and Shares of Class A Common Stock. There currently is no established trading market for the Notes, and they are currently traded over-the-counter. To the extent that the Notes are traded, prices of the Notes may fluctuate widely depending on a number of factors, including trading volume, the balance between buy and sell orders, prevailing interest rates, the trading price and implied volatility of the shares of Class A Common Stock and the market for similar securities. Following the expiration of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the Additional Shares Period, the Notes that have not been repurchased or exchanged may or may not continue to be traded over-the-counter, and if they do continue to trade, the trading market for the Notes may be much more limited. We cannot assure you that any market will exist for the Notes following the expiration of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the Additional Shares Period. Even if such a market does exist, a debt security with a smaller outstanding principal amount available for trading (a smaller “float”) may command a lower price and trade with greater volatility than would a comparable debt security with a larger float. Consequently, the repurchase or exchange of a significant amount of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the Fundamental Change Company Notice would reduce the float and may negatively affect the liquidity, market value and price volatility of the Notes that remain outstanding following the expiration of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the Additional Shares Period. The extent of the public market for the Notes following expiration of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and the Additional Shares period will depend upon, among other things, the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Notes at such time, the number of Holders of Notes remaining at that time and the interest on the part of securities firms in maintaining a market in the Notes. As of October 8, all of the Notes are held in global form through DTC. As of October 8, 2024, the closing price of the Notes in the over-the-counter market as quoted on Bloomberg was $143.44 per $1,000 principal amount.

The shares of Class A Common Stock are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CMPO.” As of September 18, 2024, there were approximately 82,542,223 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low sales prices of the shares of Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market.

C-4

	Price Per Share of Parent Shares

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2022
First Quarter	$	9.09	$	5.77
Second Quarter		7.94		4.72
Third Quarter		7.41		4.73
Fourth Quarter		5.75		4.26

Second Quarter		8.16		5.98
Third Quarter		14.20		6.81
Fourth Quarter (through October 8, 2024)		14.20		13.84

We urge you to obtain current market information for the Notes, to the extent available, and shares of Class A Common Stock before making any decision whether to exercise or refrain from exercising the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or to deliver your notes for exchange.

2.5. Interest. The Notes that remain outstanding after the consummation of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right will continue to accrue interest until December 15, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), or until the principal of the Notes has been paid, unless the Notes are earlier repurchased or exchanged. Interest on outstanding Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year until the Maturity Date, or until the principal of the Notes has been paid, unless the Notes are earlier repurchased or exchanged. The Notes bear interest on the principal amount at an annual interest rate equal to 7.00%.

Holders who validly deliver and do not validly withdraw their Notes in connection with the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right will be entitled to receive accrued cash interest payable on their Notes accrued to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, in an amount equal to the following computation multiplied by each $1,000 of principal amount validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn: the current interest rate multiplied by the number of days from the last interest payment date on which interest has been paid to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, divided by 360. The Company estimates that the accrued interest payable on any Notes that are validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn will be approximately $32.08 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered, assuming a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date of November 29, 2024. Holders exchanging the Notes will not receive a cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest.

2.6. Fundamental Change Repurchase Rights. If any Notes remain outstanding, a holder may require the Company to repurchase for cash such Holder’s Notes if there is a Fundamental Change not described in the Fundamental Change Company Notice, on or prior to the Maturity Date at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes as of the applicable repurchase date, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such repurchase date.

2.7. Ranking. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness.

3. Procedures to be Followed by Holders Electing to Deliver Notes for Repurchase. In order to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for the Notes, Holders must deliver all or a portion of their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date, in compliance with the Applicable Procedures.

Holders may deliver some or all of their Notes; however, any Notes delivered must be in $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000. If Holders do not validly deliver their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date, those Notes will remain outstanding subject to the existing terms of the Indenture and the Notes.

C-5

3.1 Method of Delivery. As of the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice, all Notes are Global Notes held through DTC and there are no certificated Notes in non-global form. Accordingly, all interests in the Notes shall be delivered via agent’s message that is transmitted through DTC’s ATOP, and delivery via ATOP will satisfy the Holder’s Fundamental Change Repurchase Right delivery requirements pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. Delivery of interests in the Notes through ATOP is the responsibility of the surrendering Holder.

If your notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must contact such nominee if you desire to deliver your Notes for repurchase on your behalf in compliance with the Applicable Procedures, as set forth below, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

You may elect to submit your beneficial interest in the Notes to us by:

(i) completing the appropriate instruction form pursuant to DTC’s book-entry program,

(ii) delivering through DTC’s book-entry system your beneficial interest, together with an agent’s message transmitted by DTC to the Paying Agent, and

(iii) following any other required directions as instructed by DTC.

You bear the risk of untimely delivery of your Notes. You must allow sufficient time for completion of the necessary DTC procedures prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

4. Right of Withdrawal. Notes delivered for purchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right may be withdrawn at or any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date.

In order to withdraw Notes delivered for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, a Holder (or the Holder’s broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee) must comply with the transmittal procedures of DTC for submitting a notice of withdrawal which must be received by the Paying Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date. Holders whose Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee must contact such nominee if such Holder desires to withdraw Notes delivered for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right and instruct such nominee to withdraw the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice through the transmittal procedures of DTC for submitting a notice of withdrawal.

Notes validly surrendered for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right may not be exchanged unless such Notes are first validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Expiration Date. Holders bear the risk of untimely withdrawal of Notes delivered for repurchase.

The Company will determine all questions as to validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and subject to applicable law.

5. Payment for Notes delivered for Repurchase; Source and Amount of Funds. The Company will promptly deposit with the Paying Agent on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the Paying Agent will promptly make payment of such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to DTC. DTC will thereafter distribute the cash to its participants in accordance with its procedures.

C-6

The total amount of funds required to repurchase all of the Notes pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right (assuming all Notes are validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn) is approximately $134,170,833.33, calculated as the sum of (i) $130,000,000, representing 100% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding as of October 8, 2024, plus (ii) $4,170,833.33, representing accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes up to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company expects to fund the repurchase of any Notes validly delivered for repurchase and not validly withdrawn, if any, from available cash on hand and cash to be drawn under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

The repurchase of the Notes is not conditioned upon obtaining any financing or the funding thereof.

6. Notes Acquired. Any Notes repurchased by us pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right will be canceled pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

7. Interests of Managers, Directors, Executive Officers, and Affiliates of the Company and Parent in the Notes. Based on a reasonable inquiry by the Company and Parent:

	·	None of the Company or Parent or any manager, executive officer, director or affiliate of the Company or Parent or any “associate” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of the foregoing persons has any beneficial interest in the Notes;
	·	The Company will not repurchase any Notes from any of its managers or Parent’s officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, other than any Notes that may be delivered by such persons pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or exchanged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and
	·	During the 60 days preceding the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice, none of such persons engaged in any transactions in the Notes, other than the transactions required by the Indenture described herein.

A list of the managers, directors and executive officers of the Company and Parent is attached to the Fundamental Change Company Notice as Annex A.

8. Agreements Involving the Company’s Notes. Except as described in these materials or in Parent’s filings with the SEC, including agreements relating to Parent’s Class A Common Stock, or as otherwise previously publicly announced, and based on a reasonable inquiry by the Company and Parent, none of the Company or Parent, or any of their respective managers, directors or executive officers, is a party to any contract, arrangement, understanding or agreement with any other person relating, directly or indirectly, to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the Notes or any other securities of the Company or Parent, including, but not limited to, any contract, arrangement, understanding or agreement concerning the transfer or the voting of any securities of the Company or Parent, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of loans, guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies, consents or authorizations.

9. Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals. We are not aware of any license or regulatory permit that is material to our business that might be adversely affected by the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, or of any approval or other action by any government or regulatory authority or agency that may be required for the acquisition of the Notes as described in the Fundamental Change Company Notice.

10. Purchase of Notes by the Company. Each of the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates, including managers, executive officers and directors, is prohibited under applicable United States federal securities laws from purchasing Notes (or the right to purchase Notes), other than through the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or a call or redemption of the Notes in accordance with their terms and conditions, from the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice until at least the tenth business day after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. Following such time, if any Notes remain outstanding, the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates may purchase Notes in the open market, in private transactions, through a subsequent tender offer or otherwise, any of which may be consummated at repurchase prices higher or lower than the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Any decision to purchase Notes after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, if any, will depend upon many factors, including the market price of the Notes, the amount of Notes validly delivered for repurchase pursuant to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, the business and financial position of Parent and general economic and market conditions.

C-7

11. Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations. The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the disposition of Notes pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right. This discussion applies only to beneficial owners of Notes who hold Notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on the provisions of the Code, treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), judicial opinions and administrative rulings and published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), each as in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change or interpretation could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein.

This discussion does not purport to consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to beneficial owners of Notes in light of its particular circumstances, or that may apply to beneficial owners of Notes that are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including, for example, banks or other financial institutions, mutual funds, certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States, dealers or brokers in securities or foreign currencies, traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, governmental agencies or instrumentalities, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or investors in such partnerships, grantor trusts, retirement plans, individual retirement accounts or other tax-deferred accounts, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, beneficial owners subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, beneficial owners subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, and beneficial owners who hold Notes as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale, wash sale, conversion transaction or other integrated transaction). This discussion does not address any tax consequences arising under the “Medicare” tax on net investment income, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under state, local or foreign laws or U.S. federal laws other than those pertaining to the U.S. federal income tax. This discussion is not binding on the IRS or the courts and, therefore, could be subject to challenge, which could be sustained.

As used in the Fundamental Change Company Notice, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if (a) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. As used in the Fundamental Change Company Notice, a “non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a Note that is not a U.S. Holder or a partnership (including for this purpose any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding Notes should consult an independent tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the receipt of cash in exchange for Notes pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right.

This discussion assumes that the Notes are treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This determination is not binding on the IRS. If the Notes were recharacterized as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax consequences to a beneficial owner of the Notes of exercising the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right could be materially different than as described below. In addition, this discussion assumes that the Notes are not subject to the rules applicable to contingent payment debt instruments. This determination is not binding on the IRS. If the IRS were to successfully assert that the Notes are subject to the rules applicable to contingent payment debt instruments, the tax consequences to a beneficial owner of Notes could be materially different than as described below. For example, any gain recognized upon exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right would be characterized as ordinary interest income rather than capital gain.

C-8

THE DISCUSSION SET OUT BELOW IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO A BENEFICIAL OWNER OF NOTES. BENEFICAL OWNERS OF NOTES CONSIDERING EXERCISING THEIR FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE REPURCHASE RIGHT SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO EXCHANGE THE NOTES INTO CLASS A COMMON STOCK IN LIEU OF EXERCISING THEIR FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE REPURCHASE RIGHT, AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION. THE STATEMENTS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS SET OUT BELOW ARE BASED ON THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN FORCE AND INTERPRETATIONS THEREOF AS OF THE DATE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE COMPANY NOTICE, AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGES OCCURRING AFTER THAT DATE.

Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders

Disposition of a Note. Subject to the following paragraph, a disposition of a Note by a U.S. Holder pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right generally will be a taxable transaction to such U.S. Holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to the discussion under “—Market Discount” below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon the disposition of the Note in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received upon such disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as ordinary interest income to the extent not previously included in income), and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Note for more than one year at the time of the sale. Non-corporate U.S. Holders generally are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation on long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Market Discount. Gain recognized by a U.S. Holder upon the disposition of a Note pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of any market discount on the Note that has accrued during the period that the exercising U.S. Holder held such Note, unless the U.S. Holder has made an election to include market discount in income as it accrues. A Note generally will be treated as having market discount if the stated redemption price at maturity of the Note exceeded the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Note immediately after acquisition by more than a statutorily defined de minimis amount. Market discount accrues on a ratable basis, unless the U.S. Holder has elected to accrue market discount using a constant-yield method for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Information returns generally will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on, and payment of the proceeds from the disposition of, the Notes. A U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. backup withholding on these payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide its taxpayer identification number to the Paying Agent and comply with certain certification procedures or otherwise fails to establish an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders

Disposition of a Note. Subject to the discussions under “—Accrued Interest” and “—Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” below, a non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on any gain recognized on the disposition of a Note pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right unless (i) such gain is “effectively connected” with a trade or business of the non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to the non-U.S. Holder’s permanent establishment in the United States) or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met.

C-9

Gain described in clause (i) above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. Any gain described in clause (i) above of a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty). A non-U.S. Holder described in clause (ii) above will be subject to tax at a flat rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on any gain recognized, which may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses recognized in the same taxable year provided that such non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

Accrued Interest. Subject to the discussion under “—Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “—FATCA” below, amounts paid to a non-U.S. Holder upon the disposition of a Note pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right that are allocable to accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that such interest is not effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and:

(i)	the non-U.S. Holder does not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;
(ii)	the non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related to us, actually or constructively, through stock ownership;
(iii)	the non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest on a loan made in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and
(iv)	the non-U.S. Holder has provided a validly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing that it is a non-U.S. holder (or satisfies certain documentary evidence requirements for establishing that it is a non-U.S. holder).

Alternatively, such accrued and unpaid interest will be exempt from, or subject to a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax if such non-U.S. Holder provides a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under an applicable tax treaty or (b) such interest is effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and such non-U.S. Holder provides a properly completed IRS Form W-8ECI. Any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Information returns generally will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes. Unless the non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person, information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with payment of the proceeds from the disposition of the Notes, and the non-U.S. Holder may be subject to U.S. backup withholding on payments on or with respect to such Notes. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under backup withholding from a payment to a non- U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Treatment of Exchanging Beneficial Owners. Holders of Notes that elect to exercise their right to exchange their Notes for Class A Common Stock should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of such exchange.

C-10

FATCA. Pursuant to Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (provisions commonly known as “FATCA”), “foreign financial institutions” and certain other non-U.S. entities must comply with information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or they will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax on certain U.S. source payments made to them (whether received as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary for another party). Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes paid to “foreign financial institutions” and certain other non-U.S. entities that fail to comply with specified information reporting requirements. Prior to the issuance of proposed Treasury Regulations, withholding under FATCA also would have applied to the receipt of cash in exchange for the Notes not attributable to accrued but unpaid interest. However, the proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. Beneficial owners of the Notes should consult their own tax advisors on how FATCA may apply to the Notes.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO PARTICULAR HOLDERS OF NOTES IN LIGHT OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES. BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE EXERCISE OF THEIR FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE REPURCHASE RIGHT, INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS.
