Event Summary

Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer announced that a class action lawsuit has been filed against GPGI, Inc. (formerly CompoSecure, Inc.) on behalf of investors who purchased GPGI Class A common stock between November 3, 2025 and May 6, 2026. The complaint alleges that GPGI and certain individuals, including Cote, the Cote Family, and Knott, made materially false and misleading statements that overvalued Husky Technologies and misrepresented the benefits of the Husky acquisition. This was allegedly done to secure shareholder approval, obtain PIPE funding, generate management fees, and advance a fraudulent scheme to use CompoSecure as a wealth transfer vehicle. The acquisition of Husky Technologies was announced on November 3, 2025 and completed on January 12, 2026. Investors have until September 14, 2026 to move for lead plaintiff status.
