Section 2    Financial Information
Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the “Company”) and Compass Diversified Holdings (“Holdings” and, together with the Company, collectively “CODI,” “us” or “we”) acquires and manages small to middle market businesses in the ordinary course of its business. The following description relates to the recent divestiture of one such business.

CamelBak Products, LLC

On July 24, 2015, Vista Outdoor Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “CamelBak Purchase Agreement”) with CBAC Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a majority owned subsidiary of the Company (“CBAC”), and CamelBak Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CBAC (“CamelBak Acquisition Corp.”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CamelBak Acquisition Corp., the parent of the operating entity, CamelBak Products, LLC (“CamelBak”).

On August 3, 2015, the Buyer completed the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of CamelBak Acquisition Corp. pursuant to the CamelBak Purchase Agreement (the “Transaction”). The sale price for the Transaction was based on a total enterprise value for CamelBak of $412.5 million plus approximately $14.1 million of estimated cash and working capital adjustments. Acquisition-related costs were approximately $2.9 million. After the allocation of the adjusted sale price to CBAC’s non-controlling equityholders and the payment of all expenses, total proceeds to CODI from the Transaction were $367.8 million, including the repayment of approximately $99.3 million in inter-company loans. CODI expects to record a gain on the sale of CamelBak ranging between $150 million and $170 million.
