Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 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 Roman DBDR’s or CompoSecure’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including, without limitation, statements regarding: (i) the ability of Roman DBDR and CompoSecure to complete the proposed merger described in the Press Release, (ii) the size, demand and growth potential of the markets for CompoSecure’s products and CompoSecure’s ability to serve those markets, (iii) the degree of market acceptance and adoption of CompoSecure’s products, (iv) CompoSecure’s ability to develop innovative products and compete with other companies engaged in the financial services and technology industry and (v) CompoSecure’s ability to attract and retain clients. 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 Press Release, and on the current expectations of CompoSecure’s and Roman DBDR’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 Roman DBDR nor CompoSecure gives any assurance that either Roman DBDR 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 Roman DBDR. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond Roman DBDR’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 proposed merger; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger, including due to the failure to receive required security holder approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions; and costs related to the proposed merger. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the proposed merger filed by Roman DBDR with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other documents filed by Roman DBDR 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 Roman DBDR or CompoSecure presently know or that Roman DBDR 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 Roman DBDR’s and CompoSecure’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Press Release. Roman DBDR and CompoSecure anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Roman DBDR’s and CompoSecure’s assessments to change. However, while Roman DBDR and CompoSecure may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Roman DBDR and CompoSecure specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Roman DBDR’s and CompoSecure’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Press Release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

The definitive proxy statement will be mailed to stockholders of Roman DBDR seeking approval of the proposed merger.

While all financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentations are necessarily speculative, the Company believes that the preparation of prospective or illustrative financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection, estimate, target or illustrative presentation extends from the date of preparation . The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected, expected or target results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial projections, estimates and targets . The inclusion of financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentations in this Presentation should not be regarded as an indication that the Company, or their representatives, considered or consider the financial projections, estimates, targets and illustrative presentation to be a reliable predictions of future events .

However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in CompoSecure’s financial measures . In addition, other companies may calculate non - GAAP measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, CompoSecure’s non - GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies . Furthermore, the non - GAAP measures presented in this Presentation may not be presented in future SEC filings by Roman DBDR or the combined company . See the Appendix for a description of these non - GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the historic measures to the Company’s most comparable GAAP financial measures .

56 56 Risk Factors The COVID - 19 pandemic has had a negative impact on our business and, if the pandemic continues or worsens, these impacts could b e amplified and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate in the future. We may fail to retain existing customers, including American Express and JPMorgan Chase which constituted 33% and 40%, respec tiv ely, of our total net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, or attract new customers. Data and security breaches could compromise our systems and confidential information, cause reputational and financial damage , a nd increase risks of litigation. We may be subject to system outages, data loss or other interruptions affecting our operations. We may be adversely affected by disruptions at our primary production facilities. We may have disruptions in our operations or supply chain. Cryptocurrency wallet storage systems, like Arculus , are subject to potential illegal misuse, risks related to a loss of funds due to cryptocurrency theft, security and cyberse cur ity risks, and system failures. We have limited experience in the Arculus ecosystem. We cannot be certain that our new offerings such as Arculus will be able to generate revenues that we project, or at all. Regulatory changes or actions may restrict the use of Arculus or cryptocurrencies or subject us to additional regulation and oversight in a manner that adversely affects our business. We may be unable to safeguard against misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. We may not be able to recruit, retain and develop qualified personnel. We may be unable to develop and introduce new products and services in a timely manner. If we fail to comply with the standards of the PCI Security Standards Council or other industry standards such as Payment Net wor ks certification standards, our designation as a registered service provider could be suspended or terminated and our customers could terminate their agreements with us and refuse to do bu siness with us. Our business is dependent on consumer and business spending. Our international sales subject us to additional risks. We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which may limit our operating flexibility. The lenders under our credit facility could elect to accelerate payments due and terminate all commitments to extend further cre dit upon an event of default.
