Compass Diversified Holdings 8-K

What Happened

• Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) filed an 8-K on Jan. 15, 2026 announcing that its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on May 21, 2026. The Board set specific deadlines for shareholder director nominations and proposals after CODI was unable to hold an annual meeting in 2025. The filing notes CODI’s governing documents (on file with the SEC via the Form 10-K/A dated Dec. 8, 2025) and references applicable Delaware law and SEC rules.

Key Details

• Annual meeting date: May 21, 2026.
• Under CODI’s governing documents, shareholder notice of director nominations and shareholder proposals must be received at CODI’s principal executive offices no earlier than Jan. 21, 2026 and no later than Feb. 20, 2026.
• To be included in proxy materials under SEC Rule 14a-8, shareholder proposals must be received no later than Feb. 2, 2026 (the Company’s deadline for proxy inclusion).
• Under SEC Rule 14a-19, shareholders intending to solicit proxies for director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must notify CODI by March 23, 2026.

Why It Matters

• These dates are material for shareholders who want to nominate directors or submit proposals for inclusion in CODI’s 2026 proxy materials; missing the deadlines can prevent inclusion or allow appointed proxies to vote at their discretion. The filing clarifies the timetable and procedural requirements (including compliance with CODI’s governing documents, Delaware law, and SEC rules) after the skipped 2025 meeting, helping investors and activist shareholders plan any governance actions.
