Special Meeting to Approve Deal Shares
Stockholders must approve issuing 17,355,139 shares to the Saltire/Foxley sellers, equal to about 49.2% of the 35,282,224 shares outstanding as of October 8, 2026, under Nasdaq Rule 5635(a).
-
Section 204 Ratification Is a Closing Condition
A September 15, 2026 stockholder demand letter alleges DTI never implemented its charter's classified board at the 2024, 2025 and 2026 annual meetings; the deal cannot close unless stockholders ratify those elections under DGCL Section 204 (or a Section 205 court order is obtained).
-
Cash and Equity Consideration
Sellers receive £60,289,856.60 in cash (about $81 million at $1.343 per £1.00) plus 17,355,139 fixed shares; the Loggie family is expected to hold about 33% of DTI post-closing.
-
Financing and Pro Forma Losses
DTI expects a $135.0 million senior secured bond at an assumed 12.0% rate plus a $3.3 million revolver draw; pro forma loss per share widens to $(0.15) for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $(0.09) standalone.
Analysis · DTI · Energy & Transportation
This amendment turns the October 8 acquisition announcement into a vote. DTI must win stockholder approval for 17,355,139 shares — roughly 49.2% of its 35,282,224 shares outstanding — plus a Section 204 ratification of its 2024-2026 director elections, which a September 15 stockholder demand letter claims violated the charter's classified-board provision. Both are closing conditions, so a failed vote kills the deal. The filing also quantifies the cost: about $81 million of cash (funded by a $135 million 12% bond), a 33% stake for the Loggie family, and pro forma losses of $(0.15) per share for the first half of 2026 versus $(0.09) standalone.
