Moody's - finance.yahoo.com Posted 5 years ago

Moody's Investors Service said that Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC's ("Compass" or NYSE: CODI) announcement that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its majority-owned subsidiary FHF Holdings Ltd. -- dba Manitoba Harvest ("MH"), a hemp-based foods and ingredient company -- to Tilray Inc. (TLRY) for an aggregate purchase price of up to C$419 million is a credit positive development but does not impact CODI's ratings, including its B1 Corporate Family Rating (CFR), SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating, and stable ratings outlook. Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC is a publicly traded company (CODI) that holds majority ownership interests in nine distinct unrelated operating subsidiaries (pro forma for the sale of Manitoba Harvest), including 5.11 Tactical, Velocity Outdoor (formerly Crosman), Advanced Circuits, Sterno Products, Clean Earth, Arnold Magnetics, Liberty Safe, Foam Fabricators and Ergobaby.
