Introductory Note
As previously disclosed by Resolute Holdings Management, Inc.
(the “Company,” “we” or “us”), on November 2, 2025, CompoSecure, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“CompoSecure, Inc.”) and the parent of our managed company, CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C. (“CompoSecure Holdings”),
together with certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Transaction
Agreement”) with Husky Technologies Limited (“Husky”), Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC (“Platinum”), certain
entities affiliated with Platinum and certain members of Husky management (collectively, the “Platinum Parties”). On November 2,
2025, concurrently with the execution of the Transaction Agreement, CompoSecure also entered into purchase agreements (the “Purchase
Agreements”) with certain investors named therein.
On January 12, 2026 (the “Closing Date”),
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, CompoSecure completed its combination with Husky
(the “Transaction”) for aggregate consideration of approximately $3.953 billion in cash and 55,297,297 shares of CompoSecure’s
Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“CompoSecure Common Stock”), subject to the adjustments set forth
in the Transaction Agreement. Concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, CompoSecure also completed the transactions contemplated
under the Purchase Agreements and issued and sold to the investors party thereto (collectively, the “CompoSecure PIPE Investors”)
in a private placement an aggregate of 106,056,083 shares of CompoSecure Common Stock, at a purchase price of $18.50 per share, for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.96 billion.
| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
In connection with the closing of the Transaction,
an indirect subsidiary of the CompoSecure, Inc. that will hold, directly or indirectly, the business of Husky following the closing
(“Husky Holdings”), entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with us on the Closing Date.
Pursuant to their terms, there will be no duplication of fees under the Management Agreement our existing management agreement with CompoSecure
Holdings (the “CompoSecure Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, we are responsible for managing the
day-to-day business and operations, and overseeing the strategy, of Husky Holdings and its subsidiaries. Husky Holdings agreed to pay
us a quarterly management fee (the “Management Fee”), payable in arrears, in a cash amount equal to 2.5% of Husky Holdings'
last 12 months' Adjusted EBITDA, measured for the period ending on the fiscal quarter then ended, as defined in the Management Agreement.
Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Husky Holdings is also required to reimburse us and our affiliates for our documented costs and
expenses incurred on behalf of Husky Holdings, subject to certain exceptions, in our sole discretion. Following its initial ten-year term,
the Management Agreement will automatically renew for successive and additional ten-year terms, unless terminated in accordance with its
terms. We and Husky Holdings may each terminate the Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain other limited events, and in connection
with certain of these limited events, we have the right to require Husky Holdings to pay a termination fee, which may be paid in cash,
shares of CompoSecure Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of CompoSecure Common Stock. The Management Agreement also provides
for certain indemnification rights in our favor, as well as certain additional covenants, representations and warranties.
The foregoing description of the Management Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby is only a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of the Management Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
| Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
The information set forth in the section titled
“Introductory Note” and in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.
The descriptions of the Transaction Agreement and
the Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Transaction
Agreement and the form of Purchase Agreement, which were filed as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 10.6 to CompoSecure’s Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 4, 2025 and which are incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 2.03 | Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
In connection with the closing of the Transaction, CompoSecure assumed the indebtedness of Husky, including (i) $1,723.8 million aggregate
principal amount outstanding under Husky’s existing U.S. dollar denominated term loan facility (the “Existing Husky Term Loan”),
(ii) $350.0 million aggregate principal amount drawn on the Closing Date under Husky’s existing U.S. dollar denominated delayed

with the Existing Husky Term Loan and the Existing Husky Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Existing Husky Credit Facilities”),
and (iv) $1,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.000% senior secured notes due 2029 (the “Existing Husky Notes”).
In connection with the Transaction, CompoSecure commenced transactions to refinance the Existing Husky Credit Facilities and the Existing

and a conditional notice of full redemption pursuant which Husky will redeem all of the Existing Husky Notes on January 13, 2026.
| Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On January 9, 2026, the
audit committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) (i) approved the dismissal of Grant Thorton LLP
(“Grant Thornton”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and (ii) appointed Ernst &
Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2026. Grant Thornton was previously engaged to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31,
2025. The appointment of EY does not affect Grant Thornton’s engagement for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The audit report of Grant
Thornton on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and for the period from September 27,
2024 (date of inception) to December 31, 2024 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the period from September 27,
2024 to December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through January 12, 2026, there were no: (i) “disagreements,”
as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S-K”)
with Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the
subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of
December 31 ,2024 and for the period from September 27, 2024 to December 31, 2024, or (ii) reportable events within
the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Grant
Thornton with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) and requested that Grant Thornton furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Grant Thornton
agrees to the statements made by the Company herein. A copy of the letter from Grant Thornton addressed to the SEC and dated as of January 12,
2026 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the period from September 27,
2024 to December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through January 12, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone on the
Company’s behalf consulted with EY with respect to either (i)(a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or (b) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided by EY to the Company that EY concluded was an important factor that
the Company consider in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any other matter
that was the subject of a “disagreement” or a “reportable event” (as these terms are defined in Item 304(a)(1) of
Regulation S-K and the related instructions).
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
