Explanation of Responses:
(1)	Reporting Person's amount of securities beneficially owned has remained unchanged since the closing of Issuer's SPAC merger with Roman DBDR Tech Acquisition Corp. Reporting Person's beneficial ownership increased to 10.05% as a result of a reduction in Issuer's outstanding Class A Common Stock on March 9, 2022. Reporting Person's beneficial ownership decreased to 9.92% as a result of an increase in Issuer's Class A Common Stock. As of the date of this filing, based on Issuer's Class A Common Stock outstanding as disclosed on its Form 10-Q filed November 4, 2022, Reporting Person's beneficial ownership has further decreased to 9.52%. Reporting Person has not engaged in any purchase or sale of CMPO Class A Common Stock since his initial purchase in connection with Issuer's SPAC merger with Roman DBDR Tech Acquisition Corp.
(2)	All of Reporting Person's beneficially owned Class A Common Stock is held indirectly through investment vehicles owned by the Steven J. McLaughlin Revocable Trust, of which Reporting Person is the sole trustee.
