Exhibit 99.1
Compass Diversified Declares First Quarter 2026 Distributions on Series A, B and C Preferred Shares
WESTPORT, Conn., April 1, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) (“CODI” or the “Company”), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has declared a quarterly cash distribution for each of its three preferred share series.
The Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.453125 per share on the Company’s 7.250% Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The distribution on Series A Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, January 30, 2026, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2026. The distribution for such period is payable on April 30, 2026, to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2026.
The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4921875 per share on the Company’s 7.875% Series B Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). The distribution on Series B Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, January 30, 2026, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2026. The distribution for such period is payable on April 30, 2026, to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2026.
The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4921875 per share on the Company’s 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares (the “Series C Preferred Shares”). The distribution on Series C Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, January 30, 2026, up to, but excluding, April 30, 2026. The distribution for such period is payable on April 30, 2026, to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of April 15, 2026.
CODI’s preferred cash distributions should generally constitute “qualified dividends” for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent they are paid from “earnings and profits” (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), provided that the requisite holding period is met. To the extent that the amount of cash distributions exceeds earnings and profits, such distribution will first be treated as a non- taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares and thereafter be treated as a capital gain from the sale or exchange of such shares.
