SOMERSET, N.J., June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  (Nasdaq: CMPO), a leader in metal payment cards, security, and authentication solutions, today announced that after more than 13 years of service, its Chief Financial Officer, Tim Fitzsimmons will retire once a successor has been named and assumes the role, which is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2025, but no later than January 1, 2026. Mr. Fitzsimmons will then serve as a consultant to CompoSecure through January 1, 2027 to ensure a smooth transition with his successor.

Jon Wilk, President and CEO of CompoSecure, commented: “When Tim approached me about his desire to retire, it gave me the opportunity to reflect on his significant contributions and impact on CompoSecure. He’s played a central role supporting critical corporate transactions including our transition from private to public, the sale of a majority interest in CompoSecure and recent spin-off. He has built and maintained an outstanding lending group that has led to multiple debt financings to support our growth over the last ten years. Since I joined the company in 2016, Tim and I have worked closely to demonstrate the value a metal card can provide to our customers across the globe. As we seek a successor, I look forward to continuing to work alongside him in the coming months to further our financial discipline and accelerate the work we’ve started with the CompoSecure Operating System. Tim is leaving us in a strong position, and we are fully committed to a smooth and thoughtful transition that builds on this solid foundation.”

Tim Fitzsimmons, Chief Financial Officer, said: “Serving as CFO of CompoSecure for the past 13 years has been the most rewarding chapter of my professional career. I am deeply grateful to our founders John Herslow, Michele Logan, and Lou DaSilva for the opportunity to contribute as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, and for the strong, collaborative partnership I’ve shared with our current leadership. It has been a true privilege to lead the Finance and IT teams and to work with so many talented colleagues across the business throughout the years. I take great pride in the incredible journey we've shared—transforming CompoSecure from a family-owned business into a publicly traded company. Deciding to retire was a difficult choice rooted in family priorities, and it wasn’t an easy one. As I begin this next phase, I remain fully committed to working closely with my successor to ensure a seamless handover and I’m focused on delivering strong outcomes for investors as we progress. Even as I step away from the role, I’ll continue to cheer CompoSecure on—as a dedicated supporter and proud shareholder."

Dave Cote, CompoSecure’s Executive Chairman, further added: “I am thankful for the lasting impact Tim has made on CompoSecure. His leadership has been central to building the foundation of our business today. The progress we’ve made as a company is in no small part due to his commitment and dedication through the years. I am confident that his impact will be felt well into the future.”
