[Form 4] CompoSecure, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 highlights — CompoSecure, Inc. (CMPO)

• Reporting person: Director Kevin M. Moriarty
• Transaction date: 07/29/2025
• Security: Stock option granting the right to purchase 6,998 Class A shares
• Exercise price: $13.80 per share
• Vesting: 25 % on 07/29/2026 and 25 % on each of the following three anniversaries (fully vested 07/29/2029)
• Expiration: 07/29/2035
• Consideration: Options issued in lieu of the $50,000 annual cash retainer under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
• Ownership after grant: 6,998 derivative securities held directly

No open-market purchase or sale of shares occurred; the filing records a compensatory grant that modestly increases potential future dilution but strengthens management–shareholder alignment.

Positive

• Cash conservation: paying the $50,000 director retainer in equity defers cash outflow.
• Incentive alignment: multi-year vesting ties director rewards to long-term share performance.

Negative

• Incremental dilution: issuance of 6,998 options slightly increases potential share count, though effect is immaterial.

Insights

Equity Compensation Analyst

TL;DR – Routine compensatory option grant; negligible dilution, modest alignment benefits, limited market impact.

The 6,998-share option award represents a very small fraction of CMPO’s float and substitutes cash board fees, marginally conserving near-term cash while linking the director’s compensation to long-term share performance. The $13.80 strike mirrors contemporaneous trading levels, so value creation hinges on future appreciation. Vesting over four years promotes board continuity. Given size and routine nature, the disclosure is not materially impactful for valuation or liquidity.
