Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 29, 2015, Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the “Company”), sponsor of Compass Diversified Holdings, entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”), by and among the Company, the Lenders signatory thereto, U.S. Bank National Association and Bank of America, N.A.

The Amendment provides for a number of modifications to the Company’s existing credit agreement, dated as of June 6, 2014 (the “Existing Agreement”). The amendments include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) a revision to the definition of “Change of Control” as it relates to non-continuing directors, (ii) provisions allowing the Company to make intercompany loans to, and acquire, Canadian-based companies on an unsecured basis, (iii) provisions allowing for early termination of a “Leverage Increase Period,” thereby providing the Company additional flexibility as to the timing of subsequent acquisitions, and (iv) modifications to borrowing procedure mechanics. All other material terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement were unchanged.

The Amendment is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment as attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
