Business Description

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS GPGI, Inc. (formerly CompoSecure, Inc.) (“GPGI” and, together with its subsidiaries as the context requires, the "Company," “we”, “us” or “our”), is a permanent capital platform designed to acquire, own, and scale high-quality businesses that hold “great positions in good industries.” The operations, capital allocation, and strategy of our operating businesses are managed by Resolute Holdings Management, Inc. (NYSE: RHLD) (“Resolute Holdings”), an entity that was initially formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was subsequently spun off to the Company's shareholders on a pro rata basis. Starting in January 2026, the Company has evolved from a single operating business into a diversified permanent capital platform that is today comprised of two market leading businesses: (1) CompoSecure, L.L.C. (“CompoSecure”), a leading manufacturer of premium metal credit cards and provider of secure authentication solutions, and (2) Husky Holdings LLC (“Husky”), a leading manufacturer of injection molding equipment and aftermarket services for the food, packaging, and medical markets. As a function of the Company’s permanent capital base, we believe our platform is a structurally advantaged buyer for private assets. Specifically, we believe GPGI offers an alternative and more favorable exit pathway for large, sponsor-owned assets that are otherwise limited to an initial public offering. We can offer more upfront cash proceeds to the seller, provide speed and certainty, lower the concentrated ownership overhang with access to our high-quality, long-term, and diversified shareholder base, set up the business for success with right-sized leverage, and provide the opportunity to participate in future Resolute Holdings-led value creation. These structural benefits collectively position GPGI to make accretive acquisitions of high-quality businesses at a fair price. CompoSecure Business 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. CompoSecure 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. CompoSecure maintains approximately 75%+ market share in the global metal payment card market and delivered more than 32 million payment cards in 2025, serving over 150 customers across 200 branded and co-branded card programs. The company’s leading position is reinforced by long-standing customer relationships with leading bank issuers like American Express, JPMorgan Chase and Capital One, and financial technology companies like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Gemini. CompoSecure’s customers generate highly recurring demand for metal payment cards after initial program launch, driven by new account acquisition, portfolio expansion, product upgrades, and reissuance for loss, theft, or card expiration. With an estimated global addressable market of approximately 5.5 billion payment cards in issuance, the company’s total penetration is estimated to be less than 1% of total payment cards in issuance and delivered each year. In addition to metal payment cards, CompoSecure has leveraged its core competencies in advanced manufacturing and trusted hardware to develop secure authentication and digital asset storage solutions through the Arculus platform. Arculus combines a physical metal card with a mobile software application to enable three-factor secure authentication, high-value transaction authorization, and management of digital assets in cold storage.…
