ADW Capital Management, which says it owns about 7.65% of Compass Diversified Holdings, urged the board to launch an immediate strategic review and pursue an orderly liquidation, arguing the company’s externally managed structure creates a persistent discount to net asset value. ADW said the management services agreement pays the external manager roughly 2% of adjusted net assets, rewarding asset growth rather than per-share performance, and claimed shareholders bear heavy ongoing costs, including $74.8 million of management fees in 2024. The fund said the misalignment cannot be credibly fixed and that liquidation could unlock value it estimates at more than $26 per share.
