• Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) filed an 8-K on December 31, 2025 announcing that director James J. Bottiglieri notified the company he will resign from the board, effective December 31, 2025. Mr. Bottiglieri had previously announced he would retire and not stand for re-election at CODI’s 2025 annual meeting (originally scheduled for May 29, 2025), which was not held.

Key Details

• Effective date of resignation: December 31, 2025.
• Earlier notice: Mr. Bottiglieri told CODI on February 14, 2025 that he intended to retire and not stand for re-election at the 2025 annual meeting.
• No dispute: The filing states the retirement and resignation were not due to any disagreement with CODI or the Board about the company’s operations, policies, or practices.
• Filing and signatories: The 8-K was filed December 31, 2025; signed by Stephen Keller (Regular Trustee and Chief Financial Officer).

Why It Matters

• Board change: A director resignation affects CODI’s board composition and could influence governance and oversight until a replacement is appointed or elected.
• No operational red flag: The company explicitly says the departure was not due to disagreement, which is typically viewed as a neutral governance change rather than a signal of internal conflict.
• Action for investors: Retail investors should note the board update and monitor future disclosures for any appointment of a new director or changes to committee assignments.
