Investment in FOX

FOX, a former majority owned subsidiary of the Company that is publicly traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker "FOXF," is a designer, manufacturer and marketer of high-performance ride dynamic products used primarily for bicycles, side-by-side vehicles, on-road vehicles with off-road capabilities, off-road vehicles and trucks, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles, specialty vehicles and applications, and motorcycles. FOX’s products offer innovative design, performance, durability and reliability that enhance ride dynamics by improving performance and control. FOX is headquartered in Scotts Valley, California. In July 2014, FOX used a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a public offering of its common stock (the "FOX Secondary Offering"). CODI sold 4,466,569 shares of FOX common stock in connection with the FOX Secondary Offering. As a result of the sale of the shares by the Company in the FOX Secondary Offering, the Company’s ownership interest in FOX decreased to approximately 41.2%, which resulted in the deconsolidation of the FOX operating segment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements effective as of the date of the FOX Secondary Offering.
On March 15, 2016, the Company sold 2,500,000 of its FOX shares through a secondary offering (the "March Offering") at a price of $15.895 per share, which represented an underwriter's discount of 8.5% from the FOX share closing price on the date the offering was priced. Concurrently with the March Offering, FOX purchased 500,000 shares of their shares directly from the Company, also at a price of $15.895 per share. As a result of the sale of shares through the March Offering and the repurchase of shares by FOX, the Company sold a total of 3,000,000 shares of FOX common stock, with total net proceeds of approximately $47.7 million. Upon completion of the March Offering and repurchase of shares by FOX, the Company's ownership interest in FOX was reduced from approximately 41.2% to 33.1%. During the third quarter of 2016, FOX closed on a secondary public offering (the "August Offering") of 4,025,000 shares held by certain FOX shareholders, including the Company. The Company sold a total of 3,500,000 shares of FOX common stock in the August Offering, for total net proceeds of $63.0 million. Upon completion of the August Offering, the Company's ownership of FOX decreased from approximately 33% to approximately 23%. The Company currently owns approximately 8.6 million shares of FOX common stock.
The sale of the FOX shares in the March Offering and August Offering qualified as a Sale Event under the Company's LLC Agreement. The Company's Board of Directors declared a distribution to the Holders of the Allocation Interests of $8.6 million and $11.6 million, respectively, in connection with the Sale Events of FOX. The profit allocation payment related to the March Offering was made in the quarter ended June 30, 2016, and the profit allocation related to the August Offering will be made during the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The profit allocation for the August Offering will total a net distribution to Holders of $7.0 million after the effect of the Sale Event related to Tridien is used to offset this payment.

The Company uses the equity method of accounting when it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee.
