Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, Roman DBDR Tech Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Roman Parent Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“CompoSecure”), and LLR Equity Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into CompoSecure, with CompoSecure surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

On May 25, 2021, the Company, Merger Sub and CompoSecure entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amendment”), which provides solely for a revised form of CompoSecure Holdings, L.L.C. Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement to be attached as Annex J to the Merger Agreement.

Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Amendment, the Merger Agreement remains in full force and effect as originally executed on April 19, 2021. The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement and the Amendment, respectively, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Important Information About the Merger and Where to Find It

This Current Report on Form 8-K (“8-K”) relates to a proposed transaction between the Company and CompoSecure. This 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. In connection with the proposed Merger, the Company intends to file relevant materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including a proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”). This communication is not a substitute for the Proxy Statement or for any other document that the Company may file with the SEC or send to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposed transaction. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, COMPOSECURE, THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND RELATED MATTERS. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the Proxy Statement (when available) and other documents filed with the SEC by the Company through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. The documents filed by the Company with the SEC also may be obtained free of charge at the Company’s website at https://www.romandbdr.com/investor-relations or upon written request to 2877 Paradise Rd., # 702, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.

Participants in the Solicitation

The Company and CompoSecure and their respective directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the proposed transaction. Information regarding such directors and executive officers, including a description of their interests, by security holdings or otherwise, in the proposed transaction will be set forth in the Proxy Statement and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC regarding the proposed transaction. Stockholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the Proxy Statement carefully before making any voting or investment decisions. These documents, when available, can be obtained free of charge as described in the preceding paragraph.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (“8-K”) that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements regarding the Company’s or CompoSecure’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including, without limitation, statements regarding the proposed Merger, the ability of the parties to consummate the Merger, and future financial performance and strategy. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this 8-K, and on the current expectations of CompoSecure’s and the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Neither the Company nor CompoSecure gives any assurance that either the Company or CompoSecure will achieve its expectations. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of CompoSecure and the Company. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company’s and CompoSecure’s control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others: the inability to complete the transaction; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including due to the failure to receive required security holder approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions; and costs related to the proposed transaction. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Proxy Statement, which is expected to be filed by the Company with the SEC and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that none of the Company or CompoSecure presently know or that the Company or CompoSecure currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s and CompoSecure’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this 8-K. The Company and CompoSecure anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s and CompoSecure’s assessments to change. However, while the Company and CompoSecure may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company and CompoSecure specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s and CompoSecure’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
