Overview

Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. (“Resolute Holdings”) provides operating management services to generate recurring, long-duration management fees from GPGI Holdings L.L.C. (formerly CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C) (together with its subsidiaries, “GPGI Holdings”) and Husky Holdings LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Husky Holdings”) and other companies it may manage in the future both in the United States and internationally, to generate recurring, long-duration management fees. Resolute Holdings applies a differentiated approach of value creation through the systematic deployment of the Resolute Operating System to drive performance at businesses it manages with the intention of creating value at both the underlying managed businesses and at Resolute Holdings. Resolute Holdings also applies its M&A and capital markets expertise to drive inorganic growth of its managed businesses.

In accordance with ASC 810 and due to the terms of the CompoSecure Management Agreement, as defined below, Resolute Holdings (together with GPGI Holdings and its subsidiary, Husky Holdings, the “Company”) is required to consolidate GPGI Holdings because it is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of which Resolute Holdings is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Resolute Holdings does not own any equity interests or common stock in GPGI Holdings, Husky Holdings, or GPGI, Inc. (formerly CompoSecure, Inc.) (“GPGI”).

GPGI, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, GPGI Holdings and Husky Holdings, is a permanent capital platform designed to acquire, own, and scale high-quality businesses that hold “great positions in good industries.” The Resolute Holdings and GPGI structure is designed to eliminate the constraints found in traditional corporate structures to attract great operators to lead and manage each business within GPGI. The leaders of each operating business benefit from the support and experience of Resolute Holdings, allowing them to focus on operating their respective businesses without the external responsibilities associated with managing a public company. GPGI has evolved from a single operating business into a diversified permanent capital platform that is comprised of two market leading businesses, CompoSecure and Husky, each wholly owned by GPGI Holdings and operating under the CompoSecure, L.L.C. (together with its subsidiaries, “CompoSecure”) and Husky Holdings legal entities, respectively.

CompoSecure, founded in 2000, and headquartered in Somerset, New Jersey, is the global leader in the design and manufacturing of premium metal payment cards and secure authentication solutions. The company pioneered the use of metal in payment cards dating back to 2003 and combines industry-leading innovation, advanced materials science, and proprietary manufacturing processes to deliver highly differentiated products to its customers. CompoSecure’s metal payment cards integrate a metal core with EMV® (acronym representing Europay, Mastercard, and Visa) chips, magnetic stripes, and contactless payment technology, while meeting stringent certification requirements from global payment networks. CompoSecure’s metal cards deliver a distinctive weight, a premium aesthetic, and enhanced durability for consumers, while its issuer customers benefit from the ability to attract higher-value consumers, reduce cardholder churn, and unlock higher customer spend relative to traditional plastic cards.

Husky, founded in 1953, and headquartered in Bolton, Ontario, Canada is the leading global manufacturer of highly engineered injection molding equipment and aftermarket tooling and services. Husky has focused on developing highly technical precision technologies instrumental in the delivery of food, beverages, medical devices, and other applications including general packaging and closures, thinwall packaging, and consumer products. Husky delivers its integrated capabilities through a combination of systems, tooling, and aftermarket parts and services to create value for customers throughout the entire lifecycle of its solutions.

On February 28, 2025, GPGI distributed all shares of common stock of its then-wholly owned subsidiary, Resolute Holdings, on a pro rata basis to the holders of GPGI’s Class A Common Stock as of the February 20, 2025 record date (“Spin-Off”). Each stockholder of record who held shares of GPGI Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on February 20, 2025, received one share of Resolute Holdings common stock for every twelve shares of GPGI Class A Common Stock then held. On February 28, 2025,

Resolute Holdings started trading regular-way on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbol “RHLD”. On September 23, 2025, Resolute Holdings transferred the listing of its common stock to the New York Stock Exchange where it continues to trade under the ticker symbol “RHLD”. On March 2, 2026, Resolute Holdings redomiciled its state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada.

In connection with the completion of the Spin-Off, Resolute Holdings entered into a management agreement with GPGI Holdings (the “CompoSecure Management Agreement”), pursuant to which Resolute Holdings is responsible for managing the day-to-day business and operations and overseeing the strategy of GPGI Holdings and its controlled affiliates. Due to the execution of and the terms of the CompoSecure Management Agreement, Resolute Holdings is required to consolidate GPGI Holdings for financial reporting purposes.

Pursuant to the CompoSecure Management Agreement, GPGI Holdings pays Resolute Holdings a quarterly management fee (the “CompoSecure Management Fee”), payable in arrears, in a cash amount equal to 2.5% of GPGI Holdings’ last 12 months’ Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the CompoSecure Management Agreement, measured for the period ending on the fiscal quarter then ended (“CompoSecure Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA”). CompoSecure Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA reflects (a) GPGI Holdings’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, extraordinary losses and expenses, one-time and non-recurring expenses, and the CompoSecure Management Fee, less (b) GPGI’s selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted for the same items above (“Parent Allocated Expense”, as defined in the CompoSecure Management Agreement). CompoSecure Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA is calculated without duplication of Husky Holdings’ Adjusted EBITDA and its share of Parent Allocated Expense (each as defined in the Husky Management Agreement). GPGI Holdings is also required to reimburse Resolute Holdings and its affiliates for Resolute Holdings’ documented costs and expenses incurred on behalf of GPGI Holdings other than those expenses related to Resolute Holdings’ or its affiliates’ personnel who provide services to GPGI Holdings under the CompoSecure Management Agreement. Resolute Holdings will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether a cost or expense will be borne by Resolute Holdings or by GPGI Holdings.

The CompoSecure Management Agreement has an initial term of 10 years and shall automatically renew for successive ten-year terms unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Resolute Holdings and GPGI Holdings may each terminate the CompoSecure Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain other limited events, and in connection with certain of these limited events, Resolute Holdings has the right to require GPGI Holdings to pay a termination fee, which may be paid in cash, shares of common stock of GPGI or a combination of cash and stock. The CompoSecure Management Agreement also provides for certain indemnification rights in Resolute Holdings’ favor, as well as certain additional covenants, representations and warranties.

On November 2, 2025, GPGI entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with entities affiliated with Platinum Equity LLC (“Platinum Equity”) pursuant to which GPGI would combine with Husky Technologies Limited for an enterprise value of approximately $4,976.0, financed with debt, cash, and shares of GPGI’s Class A Common Stock (“Husky Transaction”) (see Note 3). The Husky Transaction was completed on January 12, 2026 (“Husky Transaction Date”) and provides the Company with market and revenue diversification, increased scale, and reduces customer concentration.

In conjunction with the closing of the Husky Transaction, Husky Holdings and Resolute Holdings entered into a management agreement (the “Husky Management Agreement”) on substantially identical terms as the CompoSecure Management Agreement (as described above), pursuant to which Resolute Holdings provides management and other related services to Husky Holdings in exchange for payment of a quarterly management fee (“Husky Management Fee”), payable in arrears, in a cash amount equal to 2.5% of Husky Holdings’ last twelve months' Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Husky Management Agreement, measured for the period ending on the fiscal quarter then ended (“Husky Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA”). Husky Management Agreement Adjusted EBITDA reflects a) Husky Holdings’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, extraordinary losses and expenses, one-time and non-recurring expenses, and the Husky Management Fee, less b) GPGI’s selling, general and administrative expenses, adjusted for the same items above (“Parent Allocated Expense”, as defined in the Husky Management Agreement). The Husky Management Fee is calculated without duplication of GPGI Holdings' Adjusted EBITDA and share of Parent Allocated Expense (each as defined in the CompoSecure Management Agreement).

The Husky Management Agreement has an initial term of 10 years and shall automatically renew for successive ten-year terms unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Resolute Holdings and Husky Holdings may each terminate the Husky Management Agreement upon the occurrence of certain other limited events, and in connection with certain of these limited events, Resolute Holdings has the right to require Husky Holdings to pay a termination fee, which may be paid in cash, shares of common

Economic Conditions

Economic tensions and changes in international trade policies, including new tariffs introduced by the U.S. last year could impact the market for our products and services. In particular, a portion of the raw materials used by us to manufacture our products are obtained, directly or indirectly, from companies located outside of the United States. Additionally, a significant downturn in the domestic or global economy may cause our existing customers to pause or delay orders and prospective customers to defer new projects. Together, these circumstances create an environment in which it is challenging for us to predict future operating results. If these uncertain business, macroeconomic or political conditions continue or further decline, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Since the Husky Transaction closed on January 12, 2026, management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 does not include Husky Holdings.
