  • Important factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: • Risks Related to Our Businesses ◦ Rapidly evolving domestic and global economic conditions are beyond our control and could materially adversely affect our business, operations, and results of operations. ◦ Any failure by us to identify, manage, integrate and complete acquisitions and other significant transactions successfully could harm our financial results, business and prospects. ◦ Data and security breaches could compromise our systems and confidential information, cause reputational and financial damage, and increase risks of litigation, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. ◦ System outages, data loss or other interruptions affecting our operations could adversely affect our business and reputation. • Risks Related to the Management Agreements ◦ Risks associated with the management of our businesses for a fee by Resolute Holdings, which has substantial influence over our businesses, operations and strategy and upon which our businesses are heavily reliant. • Risks Related to the Business of CompoSecure ◦ Failure to retain existing customers or identify and attract new customers could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our CompoSecure business. ◦ The future growth of our CompoSecure business may depend upon its ability to develop and commercialize new products, and our CompoSecure business may be unable to introduce new products and services in a timely manner. ◦ A disruption in the operations or supply chain of our CompoSecure business or the performance of its suppliers and/or development partners could adversely affect the business and financial results of our CompoSecure business. ◦ Security markets, including the market for authentication solutions, are rapidly evolving to address increasing and challenging cyber threats, including identity theft, and our CompoSecure business’ Arculus Authenticate solutions may not achieve widespread market acceptance. ◦ Regulatory changes or actions may restrict the use of the Arculus Cold Storage Wallet or digital assets in a manner that adversely affects the business, prospects or operations of our CompoSecure business. ◦ Production quality and manufacturing process disruptions could adversely affect our CompoSecure business. • Risks Related to the Business of Husky ◦ The results of operations of the Husky business are reliant on unpredictable customer purchasing trends. ◦ Growth in emerging markets may impact the sales of the Husky business. ◦ There is no certainty that the Husky business will be able to manage fluctuations in raw materials. ◦ Failure of suppliers to deliver in a timely and cost-effective manner would adversely impact our operations. ◦ The significant international operations of the Husky business subject us to risks inherent in doing business in foreign jurisdictions. ◦ New or increased taxes or other governmental regulations targeted to decrease the consumption of certain type of beverages may adversely affect our Husky business. • Risks Related to Our Indebtedness ◦ Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition, limit our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our indebtedness. ◦ We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful. ◦ Despite our high level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries are able to incur significant additional amounts of debt or we may pay dividends or make other payments in the future, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial financial leverage. ◦ Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly. • General Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Securities ◦ Our only significant asset is our ownership of our subsidiaries’ businesses.
  • If the businesses of our subsidiaries are not profitably operated, they may be unable to make distributions to enable us to pay any dividends on our common stock or satisfy our other financial obligations. ◦ Provisions in our certificate of incorporation (the "Charter") and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock and could entrench management. ◦ We may be unable to satisfy the NYSE listing requirements in the future, which could limit investors’ ability to effect transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions. ◦ If our performance does not meet market expectations, the price of our securities may decline. ◦ Because certain significant stockholders control a significant percentage of our Class A Common Stock, such stockholders may influence major corporate decisions of the Company and our interests may conflict with the interests of other holders of our Class A Common Stock.
  • These disclosures reflect the Company’s beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect the Company and its securities in the future.
  • References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.
  • Risks Related to Our Businesses Rapidly evolving domestic and global economic conditions are beyond our control and could materially adversely affect our business, operations, and results of operations.
  • U.S. and international markets may experience uncertain and volatile economic conditions.
  • We may not continue to achieve sales growth in the future and you should not consider our sales growth in fiscal 2025 as indicative of future performance.
  • As part of our business strategy, we intend to, from time to time, seek to acquire businesses or interests in businesses, including non-controlling interests, or form joint ventures or create strategic alliances.
  • Accordingly, our financial results could be adversely affected by unanticipated performance and liability issues, our failure to achieve benefits we expected to obtain, transaction-related charges, amortization related to intangibles, and charges for impairment of long-term assets.
  • Our ability to realize the expected benefits of an acquisition may also be subject to, among other things, our ability to complete the timely integration of operations and systems, standards, controls, procedures, policies and technologies, difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination, difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex combined business, or difficulties in implementing our strategies, including the Resolute Operating System, at the acquired businesses.
  • Cyber incidents have been increasing in sophistication, including through the use of novel tools and strategies such as those that leverage AI, and can include third parties gaining access to employee or customer data using stolen or inferred credentials, computer malware, viruses, spamming, phishing attacks, ransomware, card skimming code, and other deliberate attacks and attempts to gain unauthorized access.
  • As our businesses expand and these threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against these security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, integrate cybersecurity programs and systems across businesses, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • These threats continue to increase as the frequency, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions increase around the world.
  • In particular, ransomware attacks, including those from organized criminal threat actors, nation-states and nation-state supported actors, are becoming increasingly prevalent and severe.
  • For example, in March 2023, the Husky business experienced a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain systems and the exfiltration of certain data.
  • Following the incident, the Husky business undertook response and remediation actions, including engaging external advisors, investigating the incident, restoring affected systems, and enhancing security controls.
  • In connection with the incident, the Husky business made a payment to the threat actor.
  • Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting payments, and there is always a risk that the threat actor will not adhere to negotiated terms or that threat actors will initiate other attacks.
  • Any cybersecurity incidents, or abuse or misuse of our internal platform controls and system tools, even if inadvertent, could result in potential legal liability and reputational damage to both the customers of our businesses and us, which could significantly and adversely harm our business and reputation.
  • In addition, if it becomes necessary for our businesses to further restrict the availability or use of platform controls and system tools by employees in response to any abuse or misuse, the ability of our businesses to deliver high-quality and timely customer support could be impaired.
  • Although we maintain cyber liability insurance, this insurance may be subject to limitations, exclusions, deductibles or coverage disputes, and we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all.
  • Furthermore, any material breach of our security systems could result in material adverse consequences, including operational disruptions, loss or unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential information, harm to our competitive position, result in a loss of customer trust and confidence, result in reputational harm, lead to litigation, regulatory inquiries or enforcement actions, and cause us to incur significant costs to mitigate or remedy any damage resulting from system or network disruptions, whether caused by cyberattacks, security breaches or otherwise, which could ultimately adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Risks associated with our technology systems, including system outages, data loss or others, could adversely affect our business and reputation.
  • Additionally, new technologies, such as the use of AI and machine learning, present evolving and significant legal and operational risks for us and our third-party vendors.
  • We have begun to use AI and machine learning technologies, including those licensed from third parties, in our processes and technologies.
  • Our ability to continue to use such technologies at the scale necessary may depend on our ability to increase our investments in such technologies, and on our access to specific third-party software and infrastructure, some of which may not be available on terms we find commercially acceptable or at all.
  • The availability of these tools is also subject to disruption, outages and vulnerabilities, and our use of these tools may subject us to additional risks, including misuse, information loss, reputational harm, intellectual property risks, and others.
  • There can be no assurance that the usage of AI will enhance our strategies or initiatives, or enhance our products or services.
  • Companies in the industries in which we operate have commenced litigation to properly protect their intellectual property rights.
  • Any proceedings or litigation that we initiate to enforce our intellectual property rights, or any intellectual property litigation asserted against us, could be costly and divert the attention of managerial and other personnel and further, could result in an adverse judgment or other determination that could preclude us from enforcing our intellectual property rights or offering some of our products to our customers.
  • A portion of the raw materials used by our businesses to manufacture the products they produce are obtained, directly or indirectly, from companies located outside of the United States.
  • Our accounting is complex, and if it is erroneous or based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our operating results could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.
  • The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, and also to apply many complex requirements and standards, some of which require significant judgment.
  • We devote substantial resources to compliance with accounting requirements and we base our estimates on our best judgment, historical experience, information derived from third parties, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
  • However, various factors cause our accounting to become complex, including the management of our businesses by Resolute Holdings.
  • Our operating results may be adversely affected if we make accounting errors or our judgments prove to be wrong, assumptions change or actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, or if we are required to make changes in the presentation of our financial statements due to the foregoing factors or otherwise, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors or guidance we may have provided, resulting in a decline in our stock price and potential legal claims.
  • Risks Related to the Management Agreements Our businesses are managed for a fee by Resolute Holdings, which has substantial influence over our businesses, operations and strategy and upon which our businesses are heavily reliant.
  • Pursuant to the CompoSecure Management Agreement and the Husky Management Agreement (together, the "Management Agreements"), Resolute Holdings exercises substantial influence over our CompoSecure and Husky businesses, including being responsible for, among other things: establishing and monitoring business objectives, financing activities and operating performance; selecting and overseeing the management team and their operating performance; reviewing and approving compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies and agreements, including with respect to any grants of equity awards to persons providing services; devising capital allocation strategies, plans and policies; setting budget parameters and expense guidelines and monitoring compliance therewith; identifying, analyzing and overseeing the consummation of business opportunities and potential acquisitions, dispositions and other business combinations; originating and recommending opportunities to form or acquire, and structuring and managing, any joint ventures; leading or overseeing negotiations with potential participants in any business opportunity under consideration and determining (or delegating to any officer of Holdings and Husky Holdings, as applicable, the decision to determine) if and when to proceed; engaging and supervising independent contractors and third-party service providers; reviewing and approving compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies and agreements; communicating with the holders of any securities (i) as required to satisfy any reporting and other requirements of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over Holdings and Husky Holdings, as applicable, and (ii) to maintain effective relations with such holders; overseeing all claims, disputes or controversies (including all litigation, arbitration, settlement or other proceedings or negotiations) (other than with Resolute Holdings or its affiliates); counselling Holdings and Husky Holdings, as applicable, in connection with decisions required by Delaware law to be made by the Company's Board; and performing such other services from time to time in connection with the management of the business and affairs of Holdings and Husky Holdings, as applicable, and their activities as the Company's Board shall reasonably request and/or Resolute Holdings shall deem appropriate under the particular circumstances, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, federal securities laws, the NYSE listing rules and any other applicable rules and regulations.
  • The Management Agreements do not create a mutually exclusive relationship between Holdings, Husky Holdings, and Resolute Holdings.
  • The Management Agreements and the obligations thereunder to provide Holdings and Husky Holdings with management services do not create a mutually exclusive relationship between Resolute Holdings, on the one hand, and any of the companies that Resolute Holdings manages, including Holdings and Husky Holdings, on the other.

  • Important factors and risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: • Risks Related to our Business ◦ Rapidly evolving domestic and global economic conditions are beyond our control and could materially adversely affect our business, operations, and results of operations. ◦ Failure to retain existing customers or identify and attract new customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. ◦ Any failure by us to identify, manage, integrate and complete acquisitions and other significant transactions successfully could harm our financial results, business and prospects. ◦ Data and security breaches could compromise our systems and confidential information, cause reputational and financial damage, and increase risks of litigation, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. ◦ System outages, data loss or other interruptions affecting our operations could adversely affect our business and reputation. ◦ We may not be able to recruit, retain and develop qualified personnel, including for areas of newer specialized technology which could adversely affect our ability to grow our business. ◦ Our future growth may depend upon our ability to develop and commercialize new products, and we may be unable to introduce new products and services in a timely manner. ◦ A disruption in our operations or supply chain or the performance of our suppliers and/or development partners could adversely affect our business and financial results. ◦ We have limited experience in the digital assets industry and may not succeed in fully commercializing the products and solutions derived from the Arculus technology. ◦ Security markets, including the market for authentication solutions, are rapidly evolving to address increasing and challenging cyber threats, including identity theft, and the Company's Arculus Authenticate solutions may not achieve widespread market acceptance. ◦ Our Arculus Authenticate solutions may not achieve widespread market acceptance or may not provide sufficient protection. ◦ Production quality and manufacturing process disruptions could adversely affect our business. • Risks Related to the Resolute Transaction ◦ We are a controlled company following the completion of the Resolute Transaction, and are subject to the significant influence of Resolute, which may result in conflicts of interest and limit the governance protections available to other shareholders. • Risks Related to Management Agreement ◦ Our reliance on Resolute Holdings for management services under the Management Agreement exposes us to risks including those related to Resolute Holdings' substantial influence over our business, operations, and strategy. • Risks Related to our Indebtedness ◦ Our indebtedness may limit our operating flexibility. ◦ Upon the occurrence of an event of default in our credit facility, the lenders could elect to accelerate payments due and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. ◦ The debt outstanding under the Company's existing credit facility has a variable rate of interest that is currently based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).
  • These rates may have consequences that cannot be reasonably predicted and may increase the Company's cost of borrowing in the future. • Risks Related to the ownership of our Securities ◦ Our only significant asset is our ownership of Holdings.
  • If the business of Holdings is not profitably operated, Holdings may be unable to make distributions to enable us to satisfy our financial obligations. ◦ Provisions in our charter (the "Charter") and Delaware law may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock and could entrench management. ◦ As an “emerging growth company,” we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” will make our common stock less attractive to investors. ◦ If our performance does not meet market expectations, the price of our securities may decline. ◦ The warrants, each of which entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at a price of $7.97 per share (as adjusted effective February 28, 2025) (the "Warrants") may not remain in the money, and they may expire worthless.
  • Risks Related to Our Business Rapidly evolving domestic and global economic conditions are beyond our control and could materially adversely affect our business, operations, and results of operations.
  • U.S. and international markets and, in particular, the rapidly evolving digital assets industry, are experiencing uncertain and volatile economic conditions, including from the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel, Gaza and the surrounding areas, inflation, threats or concerns of recession, and supply chain disruptions.
  • Together, these circumstances create an environment in which it is challenging for us to predict future operating results, particularly for our Arculus products and services.
  • We may not continue to achieve sales growth in the future and you should not consider our sales growth in fiscal 2024 as indicative of future performance.
  • Failure to retain existing customers or identify and attract new customers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our two largest customers are JPMorgan Chase and American Express.
  • Together, these customers represented approximately 63% and 71% of our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
  • Our ability to meet our customers’ high-quality standards in a timely manner is critical to our business success.
  • If we are unable to provide our products and services at high quality and in a timely manner, our customer relationships may be adversely affected, which could result in the loss of customers.
  • Our ability to maintain relationships with our customers or attract new customers may be affected by several factors beyond our control, including more attractive product offerings from our competitors, widespread industry disruptions (such as adverse crypto market disruptions, adoption or enactment of new legislation or agency rules and the outcomes of regulatory enforcement actions and other major litigation), pricing pressures or the financial health of these customers, many of whom operate in competitive businesses and depend on favorable macroeconomic conditions.
  • In addition, we may also be limited in the products we can offer and the pricing we can receive for such products due to restrictions present in certain of our customer contracts, which may negatively impact our ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers.
  • If we experience difficulty retaining customers and attracting new customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
  • As part of our business strategy, we may from time to time seek to acquire businesses or interests in businesses, including non-controlling interests, or form joint ventures or create strategic alliances.
  • Accordingly, our financial results could be adversely affected by unanticipated performance and liability issues, our failure to achieve synergies and other benefits we expected to obtain, transaction-related charges, amortization related to intangibles, and charges for impairment of long-term assets.
  • Our ability to realize the expected synergies and benefits of an acquisition may be subject to, among other things, our ability to complete the timely integration of operations and systems, standards, controls, procedures, policies and technologies, difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination, and difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex combined business.
  • Cyber incidents have been increasing in sophistication and can include third parties gaining access to employee or customer data using stolen or inferred credentials, computer malware, viruses, spamming, phishing attacks, ransomware, card skimming code, and other deliberate attacks and attempts to gain unauthorized access.
  • As these threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant capital and other resources to protect against these security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by these breaches, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Although we maintain cyber liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all.
  • Furthermore, any material breach of our security systems could harm our competitive position, result in a loss of customer trust and confidence, and cause us to incur significant costs to mitigate or remedy any damage resulting from system or network disruptions, whether caused by cyberattacks, security breaches or otherwise, which could ultimately adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • System outages, data loss or other interruptions affecting our operations could adversely affect our business and reputation.
  • Disruptions at our primary production facility may adversely affect our business, results of operations and/or financial condition.
  • A substantial portion of our manufacturing capacity is located at our primary production facility.
  • Any serious disruption at such facility could impair our ability to manufacture enough products to meet customer demand, and could increase our costs and expenses and adversely affect our revenues.
  • Our other facilities may not have the requisite equipment or sufficient capacity, may have higher costs and expenses, or may experience significant delays to adequately increase production to satisfactorily meet our customers’ expectations or requirements.
  • Long-term production disruptions may cause our customers to modify their payment card programs to use plastic cards or to seek an alternative supply of metal cards.
  • Any such production disruptions could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  • Our future growth may depend upon our ability to develop, introduce, manufacture and commercialize new products, which can be a lengthy and complex process.
  • If we are unable to introduce new products and services in a timely manner, our business could be materially adversely affected.
  • The markets for our products and services are subject to technological changes, frequent introductions of new products and services and evolving industry standards.
  • For example, we have historically focused on the payment card industry, but we are a new entrant into the digital assets industry.
  • In order to achieve successful technical execution of new products, we may need to undertake time-consuming and expensive research and development activities, which could negatively impact the servicing of our existing customers.
  • We may also experience difficult market conditions, such as the recent widespread disruptions in the digital asset industry, that could delay or prevent the successful research and development, marketing launches and consumer deployment of such newly designed products, whereby we could incur significant additional cost and expense.
  • If the products and solutions derived from the Arculus platform fail to gain market acceptance, our ability to achieve future growth could be significantly impaired.
  • In addition, competitors may develop and commercialize competing products faster and more efficiently than we are able to do so, which could further negatively impact our business.
  • Our product and service offerings could be rendered obsolete if we are unable to develop and introduce innovative products in a cost-effective and timely manner.
  • In particular, the rise in the adoption of wireless or mobile payment systems may make physical metal cards less attractive as a method of payment, which could result in less demand for these products.
  • Although to date we have not witnessed a material reduction in card-based payments in the United States resulting from the emergence of wireless or mobile payment systems, such payment systems offer consumers an alternative method to make purchases without the need to carry a physical card by relaying on cellular telephones or other technological products to make payments.
