CODI Slashes Management Fees by ~$20M, Ties Payouts to $17.25+ Share Price
CODI has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $4.58.
Summary
Compass Diversified amended its management agreement, cutting the base fee from 2.00% to 1.25% of adjusted net assets and capping 2027 fees at $30 million. The old incentive fee is replaced by a Share Alignment Award and a Performance-Based Award that pays nothing unless the stock plus distributions hits $17.25 by end of 2027.

The company also reaffirmed its full-year 2026 outlook.
