WESTPORT, Conn. (BRAIN) — Following a secondary stock offering this week, Compass Diversified Holdings, the former majority owner of Fox Factory, now owns just 14 percent of the company.

Fox Factory closed on the offering of 4,025,000 shares of Fox common stock held by certain stockholders including Compass. Compass generated about $72 million from the offering.

We continue to be a substantial shareholder in Fox and remain excited about the company's growth potential."
