Insights

Public-equity and governance analyst

Resolute gains a sizable, recurring fee stream from the Husky combination while changing auditors without reported disputes.

The Husky transaction, executed at approximately $3.953 billion in cash plus 55,297,297 shares of CompoSecure Class A stock, significantly scales the underlying business Resolute helps manage. In parallel, CompoSecure raised about $1.96 billion by selling 106,056,083 shares at $18.50 per share to PIPE investors, adding substantial equity capital around the new structure.

For Resolute, the new Management Agreement with Husky Holdings is notable because it provides a quarterly cash management fee of 2.5% of Husky Holdings’ last 12 months’ Adjusted EBITDA, measured each fiscal quarter end. This, along with expense reimbursements and potential termination fees payable in cash, CompoSecure stock, or both, establishes a long-duration revenue source, subject to Husky Holdings’ performance and the agreement’s termination provisions.

On the capital structure side, CompoSecure assumed Husky debt, including a $1,723.8 million term loan, a $350.0 million delayed draw term loan, a $50.0 million revolver, and $1,000.0 million of 9.000% senior secured notes due 2029, and began transactions to refinance these facilities, with the notes slated for redemption on January 13, 2026 and the refinancings expected to close on January 14, 2026. The filing also notes an auditor transition from Grant Thornton to Ernst & Young for the year ending December 31, 2026, explicitly stating there were no disagreements or reportable events with Grant Thornton over the covered periods.
