Insights

CMPO is redeeming public warrants with cashless-only exercise and a $0.01 fallback.

CompoSecure called all public warrants for redemption, setting a firm deadline and stipulating cashless-only exercise. This typically reduces administrative complexity and can limit immediate cash inflows from exercises, since no cash is paid to the issuer under cashless mechanics.

Unexercised warrants will be canceled and paid $0.01 per warrant, ending the right to purchase common shares. The action may simplify the capital structure after the December 3, 2025 deadline, but actual outcomes depend on holder exercise decisions.

Key mechanics to note are the 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 3, 2025 cutoff, the cashless exercise requirement, and the nominal $0.01 redemption price for unexercised warrants.
